After the Republic of China

Chapter 6 The scandal
Because of Shao Yunshi's kindness, Baijia has made a lot of income, making others jealous.

Poor people care about a little bit of money, let alone the people in the house are deceitful.

Therefore, usually some servants of the Shao family always want to find fault with the Bai family.

Fortunately, Baierniang knows how to be a human being, and often gives others some benefits.

Otherwise, without a master at home to protect them, it would be hard for their family to get along.

Under such circumstances, if Baijia dishonestly hides and holds back, then he will seek death.

These truths, not to mention the adults of the Baijia family, even Xiao Jinling, who is small, also understands it by ear.

Shao Yunshi lived between master and servant, seeing too much evil in human nature, how could she not worry about her children.

Ximei is more worried about Xiao Jinling's behavior than Miss.

After all, she was born as a servant and knows the hardships of being a servant.

Moreover, she was also worried that Baijia, as the people around the lady, would bring the lady down.

The child was not stubborn, and admitted his mistake honestly, Ximei felt a little relieved.

Shao Yunshi and Ximei took pity on the child, saw that the child was sensible, and comforted her very gently for a long time.

Xiao Jinling was indeed appeased.

After eating some fruit and drinking a few sips of tea, Xiao Jinling recovered.

Seeing her, the little adult pursed his lips, looked at the young lady seriously, and said: "Miss, I know I was wrong. Usually, Mommy also talks to me about things between people. I know that young lady Worry about Sister Hexi."

There was sincerity in the child's watery eyes.

Ximei patted the child's head affectionately, and praised: "Your mother is a good one, you should listen to her more in the future."

Shao Yunshi also nodded softly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinling hesitated for a while, and said firmly again: "Miss, Sister Ximei, actually, I really have something to do in the main courtyard."

The child's clean eyes and serious tone caught Shao Yunshi and Ximei's attention, and they looked at each other inexplicably.

Leaning on the low couch, Shao Yunshi tapped the tabletop with an inexplicable expression.

Ximei glanced at Miss, put the tidied up Jinling up on the couch, and asked cautiously: "Jinling, did you meet anyone in the main courtyard?"

Xiao Jinling knew what sister Ximei was worried about, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'm small, and I passed along the eaves of the rockery, and no one noticed."

Xiao Jinling is seven years old this year, maybe because she suffered a lot when she was a child, she is not tall, she looks like she is only four or five years old.

Now, her clever words made everyone think about it, it was really appropriate for the occasion, and people couldn't help laughing.

Shao Yunshi shook her head dumbfounded.

Ximei directly tapped Xiao Jinling's forehead, and said angrily, "You, there is ice under the eaves, and the sun is bright in the afternoon, if this ice falls, you will suffer."

Little Jinling stuck out her tongue, and said cleverly: "I was careful, I didn't walk under the ice."

"That place, the road is slippery, if you fall, you will lose your legs." Shao Yunshi bluffed.

These words really frightened the child, Xiao Jinling turned pale with fear, she didn't want to be a lame person.

Ximei was impatient, she didn't pay attention to the child's expression, she only urged Jinling to say: "Little ghost, tell me, what did you see in the main courtyard? Let you remember it until now."

Little Jinling probably didn't see anything good at the time, she was urged, she was a little numb, her face gradually turned red, and hesitation appeared in her expression.

This is a little strange.

Shao Yunshi stopped the impatient Ximei and looked at the child gently, "Don't be afraid, if it's hard to say, don't say it."

"Miss!" Xi Mei said urgently.

Shao Yunshi gave her a look, "She is just a child, what can she know, don't scare her."

Seeing the two of them arguing, Xiao Jinling lost her temper and said, "That day, I, I saw a man hugging Aunt Bai,..."

"What!" "Drink"

With a heavy sound and a light sound, the master and servant both took a deep breath.

These two sounds made Xiao Jinling shut up in fright.

Shao Yunshi calmed down when she saw Jinling's frightened look.

Ximei also knew that she had overreacted, so she put her arms around Xiao Jinling and comforted her.

Xiao Jinling slowed down, fearing that they might not believe her, she said affirmatively: "I really saw that day."

"Really!" Xi Mei subconsciously shouted again.

Shao Yunshi glared at the bluffing Ximei, and said with a lowered voice, "Keep your voice down, Xiaodong is not at home right now, so we have to prevent someone from eavesdropping."

Xiaodong knows some kung fu, her mother Zhou master is not here, she is the internal guard of Huaiyuan.

Ximei also knew that this place was no safer than her aunt's house in Suzhou, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Xiao Jinling quickly covered her mouth.

Seeing her like this, Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she wasn't frightened.

Ximei also slowed down and brushed the child's soft hair with a smile.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down a bit, Shao Yunshi asked in a soft and warm voice: "Little Jinling, do you know that man?"

Jin Ling frowned and shook her head, "I don't know him, but he's definitely not from our family."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Could it be that the Bai family brought over from Beiping?" Ximei frowned.

Aunt Bai lived in Peiping with the uncle of the Shao family all year round, and only came back during the Chinese New Year.

Now, it's not peaceful outside, Aunt Bai and her party probably also found a guard, that's probably how this person came.

Thinking of this, Shao Yunshi said firmly: "In this case, he must be the one who escorted Mrs. Bai and his party back."

Shao Yunshi guessed that the person who met Aunt Bai privately was the guard from Beiping. Before Ximei was in trouble, Xiao Jinling nodded sharply, "It must be so, Miss is right."

Xi Mei looked at the little girl and nodded in surprise, and asked doubtfully, "Didn't those people leave long ago?"

Shao Yunshi squinted at Ximei, "You are stupid."

Ximei laughed, she didn't say something stupid, 'If you leave, can't you stay secretly? '

Seeing that she understood, Shao Yunshi said to Jin Ling, "Who else knows about this?"

"No one knows. The place where I hide is hidden, and the place where Aunt Bai and the others sit is also hidden." Jin Ling opened her eyes wide and looked at the young lady with certainty.

Shao Yunshi felt relieved, but still shook her head and said, "I mean, who else did you tell about this?"

Jin Ling was smart, she understood immediately, and quickly waved her hands, "I didn't even say anything to Mom."

"Oh, why?" Shao Yunshi looked at Jinling strangely.

Being looked at by the young lady, Jin Ling lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Mother always talks to Dad about everything. This is so ugly. Dad will definitely be angry when he hears it."

"That's good." Shao Yunshi breathed out.

Ximei looked at Xiao Jinling approvingly, and nodded her head angrily, "You really hit the right spot."

Xiao Jinling didn't understand these words, she stared at Ximei with her eyes wide open.

Ximei covered the child's eyes with a funny face, "Watch what I do, and listen if you don't understand."

Xiao Jinling took Ximei's hand and obediently said 'um'.
