Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 397 Step Sister
"Sister Yun still understands me!" Shen Jialin looked at her with a smile, tilted her head slightly to think about it, nodded and said, "My sister-in-law is indeed an excellent person!"

Just as she was talking, Mrs. Xiao came out from the room, and said with a smile, "Why are you so happy!"

Shen Jialin laughed and said, "Sister Yun and I are praising our mother and sister-in-law!"

Yun Xiaodie was a little embarrassing, although she said it was Mrs. Kuaxiao, but she was talking about people behind her back, and there was something wrong with that.

Mrs. Xiao didn't pay attention to this, she smiled and said to Shen Jialin, "You, you have nothing to hide! How can a fellow guest boast so much about his family!"

Everyone laughed.Yun Xiaodie hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister Lin is telling the truth! Auntie, you have wronged her!"

Mrs. Xiao laughed loudly after hearing this, and praised: "Xiaodie, you can really talk!"

Just as she was talking, the servant girl came to report: The princess is here!Mrs. Xiao unconsciously showed a gentle smile on her face, and hurriedly said, please!
Suddenly Yao Cunhui came in, greeted Mrs. Xiao with a smile, greeted Shen Jialin and Yun Xiaodie with a smile, then walked behind Mrs. Xiao, raised his hand to gently knead the back of her shoulders and neck for her, and asked with a smile: "Mother Did you sleep well last night? Did you drink red dates, lotus seeds and longan tea?"

Li's mother slapped her forehead and said with a quick smile: "Thanks to the reminder from the princess, I almost forgot, Jinmei quickly brought it to my wife, and I have to go to the old lady's place to say hello soon!"

Mrs. Xiao leaned back comfortably on the couch, raised her eyes and nodded to Yao Cunhui with a smile: "Mother is fine, you don't have to worry! But you, rest early at night, it's not an important matter and let the servants deal with it !"

"I know!" Yao Cunhui smiled, and casually discussed a few family matters with Mrs. Xiao, saw that Jinmei brought red dates, lotus seeds and longan tea and took it, offering it to Mrs. Xiao with both hands.

Mrs. Xiao took it, drank more than half of it unhurriedly, rinsed her mouth and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then took her daughter-in-law and Yun Xiaodie to Cixinju to pay respects to Old Madam Shen.

Yao Cunhui and Shen Jialin supported Mrs. Xiao from left to right. Mrs. Xiao patted Yao Cunhui's arm lightly, and said to Shen Jialin with a smile: "You can talk with Miss Yun, as long as you have your sister-in-law here!"

Yun Xiaodie quickly smiled and said some polite words, and followed behind Madam Xiao and Yao Cunhui together with Shen Jialin.

Seeing the natural intimacy between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Yun Xiaodie couldn't help feeling a little depressed, it was sour and astringent.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen was also very kind to her, so Yun Xiaodie cheered up a bit.

Coming out of Cixin Residence, Yao Cunhui and Mrs. Xiao parted ways at the fork in the road, each went back to have breakfast and then busy with their respective affairs.Mrs. Xiao is sympathetic to her, and unless she has something important to discuss and asks her to go to Yanshunju together to discuss matters and have breakfast together, otherwise she is not needed to serve her on weekdays.Shen Jialin did as she wished, sometimes used it with Mrs. Xiao in Yanshunju, and sometimes went directly back to Wisteria House.

"Sister Yun, please, yesterday I specially ordered the kitchen to make some Northwest flavors, I don't know if it suits my sister's appetite! Lin'er, you too!" Yao Cunhui smiled and asked Yun Xiaodie.Yun Xiaodie is a guest, so she should naturally take care of her, there is no reason to leave it to Madam Xiao.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I've got Sister Yun's favor!" Shen Jialin said with a smile.

As for Yun Xiaodie herself, of course she is more willing to ask Shen Jialin to go back to Yanshunju with Mrs. Xiao, so that she can wait on the side and get closer to Mrs. Xiao.But after Yao Cunhui said the invitation, she was inconvenient to refuse, so she could only agree with a smile, and watched Mrs. Xiao go, so she went to Xihe Hall with Yao Cunhui and Shen Jialin.

After breakfast for a while, Yao Cunhui went to the conference hall as usual to listen to the affairs of his daughters-in-law.Shen Jialin knew the rules of sister-in-law, Xihetang never kept guests when the master was away, the only exception was Mrs. Xiao.So he got up and wanted to say goodbye.

No, Shen Quan happened to come in from the outside.

"Third Brother!"

"Brother Shen!"

Shen Jialin and Yun Xiaodie greeted each other with a smile.

"You are all here!" Shen Quan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Why are you back? Have you forgotten something?" Yao Cunhui asked with a smile.

Shen Quan smiled and said: "I don't have anything important to do in the yamen today, so I'll be back first!" He said and glanced at Yun Xiaodie.

When Yun Xiaodie heard that her heart was about to fly, she lowered her head subconsciously, her cheeks flushed slightly.Although Shen Quan didn't say it outright, of course she knew it was because she came, so he wanted to come back to accompany her.

Yao Cunhui caught a glimpse of Yun Xiaodie's expression, but he didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile, "Have you eaten your breakfast yet? You shouted a little more today, so you don't need to go to the kitchen again!"

Shen Quan smiled and said: "I'll do it myself, you go and do your work, don't delay your work!"

Yao Cunhui went away with a smile, ordering Hemerocallis and Polygonum rubrum to wait on her carefully.

When Shen Quan came back, Shen Jialin and Yun Xiaodie naturally did not leave, so they stayed together to chat and laugh with Shen Quan.

After leaving the gate of Xihetang, Rong Ma couldn't help but cast a glance at Yao Cunhui, her eyes concealed worry and unhappiness.Yao Cunhui gave her a slight nod and smiled to express his reassurance.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable and blocked, she was not so jealous that she didn't trust her husband or the relationship between them.

However, when Yao Cunhui came back from the meeting room, he was not calm.

When Yao Cunhui heard that Ms. Yun and the prince were talking in the study, her face changed slightly, Hong Liao leaned forward again and took the time to whisper: "That Miss Xiang'er called Miss San to play in the garden together!"

After hearing this, Yao Cunhui ordered someone to pour tea, and took the tray to the study by herself.

As expected, Shen Quan and Yun Xiaodie were the only ones in the study.

When Yao Cunhui opened the door and went in, he saw Shen Quan sitting behind the desk writing something, while Yun Xiaodie was standing beside him with his sleeves rolled up to grind ink for him, the expressions of the two seemed very intimate.

Rao Yao Cunhui knew that Shen Quan had no other ideas, so he couldn't help but get angry when he saw this.

"Hui'er!" Seeing her coming in, Shen Quan raised his head and said with a smile, "Are you done?"

"Sister-in-law!" Yun Xiaodie gently put down the pen and ink in her hand, slightly bent her knees to bless her body, and went forward with a smile to take the tray from Yao Cunhui's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is really capable, it's a matter of the family After such a short while, the handling is over! My sister-in-law must have worked hard too? Let me do it!"

"I'm used to it, but what's the trouble with these things! Hehe, Sister Yun is a guest, so I can't help it. Sister Yun, please sit down!" Yao Cunhui smiled and pouted her mouth on the couch next to the wall. Wei Wei dodges, avoiding Yun Xiaodie's extended hand.

Yun Xiaodie froze, and sat down with a smile as she said, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law really doesn't have to be so polite to me, I feel embarrassed!"

"Yes, Hui'er, Xiaodie is not an outsider!" Shen Quan also smiled and got up from behind the desk.

Yao Cunhui held the tea and handed it to Yun Xiaodie, smiled slightly, and then said angrily to Shen Quan: "Although that's the case, we can't break the rules, otherwise the servants will think that we despise Sister Yun when they see her. Isn't it our fault that we neglected Sister Yun because of this?"

"What you said is reasonable, it's up to you!" Shen Quan smiled and didn't argue with her.

Yao Cunhui laughed again and said, "What are you doing in the house in such a good weather? Ning Yuan, let's call the third sister and go for a walk in the garden! The rose garden is in full bloom, and I have already asked someone to arrange it in the Lianbi Pavilion." alright!"

"It's still Huier, you are thoughtful!" Shen Quan said with a smile, and after leaving the study, someone called Shen Jialin and Xiang'er back, and the group went to the Rose Garden together.

Zhenxi Wangfu has been run for several generations. Shen Quan’s grandfather lived very carefully in his later years. The garden in the Wangfu was renovated and arranged very carefully at that time. Now all kinds of flowers and trees are very prosperous. Dotted everywhere, and running water meanders through it, it can be said to be a scene at a time.Yun Xiaodie and Xiang'er were used to the roughness of the frontier, and they couldn't help but be amazed by their new perspectives while wandering around, and praised them endlessly.

Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan were making tea in the Lianbi Pavilion, and Shen Jialin had already dragged Yun Xiaodie to the garden.Shen Jialin ordered Haitang to bring her little Pekingese dog to play with, the master and servant couldn't stop giggling.

Seeing that the owner was making fun of him and didn't give him any sweets, the little dog couldn't help but get annoyed, whimpered and whimpered a few times, then twisted its small body into the depths of the flowers and disappeared.Shen Jialin, Yun Xiaodie, Xiang'er, and Haitang couldn't help laughing.

"Young maidservant, find it now, or you'll get dirty all of a sudden!" Haitang muttered and stepped forward.

"Sister Haitang, I'll help you!" Xiang'er laughed hurriedly.

Unexpectedly, the little dog wandered around all of a sudden and didn't know where it went. Haitang and Xiang'er couldn't find it for a while.

"Let's help out too!" Yun Xiaodie laughed when she saw her.

Shen Jialin couldn't help stomping her feet in anger, and said bitterly: "This guy is so dishonest, he should really be locked up in the wisteria room!"

When Yun Xiaodie raised her head, she suddenly saw a person standing in front of her, and she was startled.

I saw that this man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slim and charming figure, wearing a begonia red embroidered begonia, a pleated skirt with a moon-white intertwining pattern, and a wishful peony temple, with gold and silver on his temples, Dressed up very pretty, supporting a little girl, gently shaking a round fan in his hand, and nodded to her with a friendly smile.

"You are - I don't know how to call it?" Yun Xiaodie's sweet smile made her a little numb, and goose bumps all over her body.She doesn't look like a girl, nor does she look like a serious master in the palace, she is a little uncertain for a while.

"This is Miss Yun, right? I heard she is our prince's adopted sister?" The woman didn't answer Yun Xiaodie's words but smiled.

Yun Xiaodie could only smile and nodded, "Yes."

"Miss Yun is really beautiful, she is gentle and courteous at first glance! She is really good! No wonder she fell in love with our lord!" The woman covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly, looked at Yun Xiaodie a few times, and said with a smile : "I won't bother Ms. Yun anymore, Ms. Yun please go ahead!"

"Please go ahead!" Yun Xiaodie was so embarrassed, she didn't know how to answer her nonsensical words, so she pretended not to hear, smiled and moved two steps to the side to let her.

As the woman spoke, she twisted her water snake-like waist and swayed away.
