Chapter 152 The visitor is a guest
Shen Zhuoxi looked outside and saw the boy guarding the door.
"Is it Miss Wei?" Huizhi guessed.
"No, Wei Zhiting knew I was at the house and would definitely give my name and come in." Shen Zhuoxi thought for a while, stood up and said, "Let's take a look first."
When the young man saw her coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Second Miss, she is outside. I won't leave until I see you. The grand master and the old lady asked you to go see her."
"Who?" Shen Zhuoxi asked, frowning.
The boy hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say: "You will know after you go and take a look."
Aunt Ju had a bad premonition and said, "I will accompany you."
"That's okay." Shen Zhuoxi said to the boy, "You go to the front first, I'll be there right away."
Halfway through the journey, Aunt Ju guessed it and said: "The Grand Master and the Old Lady have asked you to meet them. They must be difficult characters. I'm afraid they are from Princess Xiaoqing's natal family."
"My mother's family? Isn't my mother's mother's family Zhongyi Houfu?" Shen Zhuoxi asked suspiciously: "My grandfather and grandmother both died in the battle, isn't the Jiang family gone?"
"The Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is indeed broken up." Aunt Ju explained: "There are not many relatives in the Jiang family, and most of them are very conscious. After all, Zhongyi Marquis and his wife died in the battle, and Princess Xiaoqing was young. Those clan members Refuse to raise him."
"Later, Princess Xiaoqing grew up under the name of the Queen Mother, and none of her relatives came to visit her. They probably didn't dare, but one family was an exception."
"You mean, it's that family that came to see me outside?" Shen Zhuoxi knew something in his mind.
Grandma Ju nodded and said, "I guess it is, but I'm not sure. After all, your medical skills have been spread, so I might be looking for you for treatment."
"Anyone who can go to the Grand Master's Mansion to see me for treatment must be rich or noble. Old Taijun and Grand Master Shen cannot have people waiting at the door." Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "It must be the family you are talking about."
Aunt Ju sighed: "If it is really that family, you should pay more attention. You should call the leader uncle, Jiang Chao. My wife's surname is Huang. There is an old mother in the family, so you should call me grandma."
"In addition, there is a cousin who is slightly older than you, and a cousin who is about the same age as you. They are not economical, and they are also thick-skinned. They once came to ask for money during the funeral of Princess Xiaoqing."
"I heard it from someone, and they also came here once later. I heard that you were sick, but the family didn't come to see you. Instead, they went directly to the Grand Master to ask for money. The Grand Master proposed to give them some money and let them take you away. Even if I keep it, they won’t do it.”
"Later on, there was no news about that family. I came here this time because I learned about your recovery and asked for money in the name of family ties."
Hui Zhi heard this and couldn't help but interject: "This is too disgusting. You want money but don't care about family ties. What kind of relatives are you?"
Shen Zhuoxi was very disgusted with this kind of people, frowning and said: "Their family is so rogue, why don't the grand master and the old master just drive them away?"
"This..." Aunt Ju paused and said, "I don't know, I'm afraid, because the old lady and the grand master are your relatives, they may have left a few threads open."
While the master and servants were talking, they had already arrived at the gate.
The young man who had just gone to invite Shen Zhuoxi saw her, stepped forward with a wry smile, and said, "Second Miss, you are finally here. The grand master has ordered that no one come in yet. You can make your decision later."
"The people outside are impatient to wait and have already started talking nonsense!"
Shen Zhuoxi was now completely sure who the person was and said, "Open the door."
As soon as the door opened, before anyone could see anyone, I heard a cursing voice: "I am Princess Xiaoqing's eldest brother, who do you think you are, dare to stop me?"
"That is, if Princess Xiaoqing is still here, please treat me like a grandma and take your paws away."
"Does Grand Master Shen have a new wife, so he doesn't care about his old friends? We are relatives of Princess Xiaoqing after all, and there are only so many people in her natal family!"
"Not counting anything else, the second young lady of the Shen family is our direct relative. What's wrong with us coming to visit her?"
"Tell the second lady to come out quickly, you can't keep us waiting!"
Four or five boys stopped him, but they didn't dare to use force. Their loud accusations attracted many people to watch.
Shen Zhuoxi whispered to the boy, "Get out of the way."
Several people who were making a fuss turned around at the same time and looked Shen Zhuoxi up and down.
"Oh, this is the second young lady!" The old woman said with a smile on her face, "Look at her facial features, they are carved from the same mold as Princess Xiaoqing, especially the eyes, they are completely similar."
"No, you really have become an adult." Jiang Chao seemed to be feeling emotional and said: "Princess Xiaoqing is alive in heaven, I must be happy."
Jiang Chao's wife, Huang, and her two children, although she remained silent, the heat in her eyes almost overflowed.
Shen Zhuoxi had a clear mind and said with a smile: "I have been ill since I was five years old and have lost my memory for many years. I wonder who are you?"
"I am your uncle." Jiang Chao rushed to explain, pointed at the old woman and said, "This is your eldest grandma, behind you are your aunt and cousins."
"Oh." Shen Zhuoxi didn't call anyone, and her eyes were quite innocent: "I heard that my mother's natal family has been depleted for a long time, especially my grandfather. After the war, the Zhongyi Marquis House was dispersed."
"I've never heard of an uncle. Why don't you be more specific?"
"Oh, Marquis Zhongyi and my father are brothers of the same generation." Jiang Chao explained seriously: "Although they are not directly related, they are the closest of blood among the collateral lines."
"I see." Shen Zhuoxi nodded with sudden realization, then changed the subject and said, "What did you come to the Grand Master's Mansion for?"
"I heard that you are well, so we came here specially to see you." The old woman smiled with wrinkles on her face, and looked Shen Zhuoxi up and down with her drooping triangular eyes: "Second Miss, please let us in first."
"We came all the way from Wuzhou, and we haven't even had a drink of water yet."
"Yes, you are still hungry." Jiang Chao sighed: "Although you have recovered, it seems that you are still lacking in etiquette. As elders, we will help your mother teach you."
Although Shen Zhuoxi was smiling, her eyes were already cold.
Are they worthy of helping her mother?
Aunt Ju reminded her from behind: "Jiang Chao and the others are afraid that they dare to be so bold because they are at the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion and there are others watching. Don't fall into the trap."
Shen Zhuoxi nodded and turned to ask Hui Zhi, "How long does it take to get here from Wuzhou?"
Huizhi calculated in his mind and said: "It will take seven days even if we work hard."
"Tsk, it's hard for you." Shen Zhuoxi's smile did not fade, and he looked at the people at the foot of the steps and said, "You come here specifically to see me, but I'm not married and don't have another residence."
"You guys come in first. Grandma is right. You need to drink water and have a meal no matter what."
Seeing this, the old woman smiled even more and squeezed her triangular eyes even smaller: "That's what the second lady said."
"Get out of the way." Shen Zhuoxi looked at the waiter and said, "The visitor is a guest. How can you treat a guest like this?"
The boy murmured, wanting to explain but not daring to explain, so he could only let a few people in first.
