Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 96 Since When Did You Care About Me?

Shen Xinniang looked up at her when she heard the words.

She just came back, Shen Shangshu was not at home.

These words are obviously asked knowingly.

Since you know what to ask, you mean something.

Shen Xinniang said oh, "Not yet."

"Daddy hasn't come back yet, so I can see you at night! The year is approaching, and Daddy is very busy these days." Shen Wuniang interjected, "My sister is back this time, why don't you stay longer? The last time I went to the palace, I haven't Stay well, I haven't been able to get along well with my sister, so I came back, I miss my sister very much in my heart!"

Even Jin Xiang and Dan Xin who were on the side couldn't help looking at Shen Wuniang.

When did she and his wife become so close?
Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes, "I came back to worship my mother, and I don't miss the Shen family."

"But I miss my sister, why not..." Shen Wuniang didn't finish her sentence, she was gently pushed by Shen Siniang.

Shen Wuniang scratched her face and stared at her.

"Wu Niang, it's not too late to say this tomorrow?" Shen Siniang said.

Shen Wuniang suddenly thought of something, nodded repeatedly, "That's right, by the way, big sister, I heard that Yunxiang Cloth Shop is my sister's shop?"

Shen Xinniang nodded slightly.

"Then, the spring grass Xinfang that cannot be bought in the market must be available at my sister's place?" Shen Wuniang said excitedly.

"Why can't I buy it?" After Shen Xinniang finished speaking, she looked at Danxin, "Why didn't Miss Ye tell me?"

Dan Xin quickly replied: "My lady, it's not impossible to buy it? Ye Niangzi said that every day, she will take out ten new spring grasses of different colors for sale besides the order."

Shen Xinniang looked at Shen Wuniang again, "Can't Wuniang buy it?"

Shen Wuniang was tongue-tied.

Admit it?Others can buy it, but she can't, it seems very shameless.

deny?Then how can she ask for cloth from the eldest sister?
Suddenly, with a bitter face, she said wronged: "Eldest sister doesn't know, mother has always misunderstood sister, and because of some things, father was unhappy. Now the family is in charge of Aunt Lian. She is in charge of the warehouse... She has used Chuncao Xinfang to buy new clothes for herself, and I haven't even touched it..."

"So you came to ask me?" Shen Xinniang asked.

Such a straightforward question.

It made Shen Wuniang not know how to answer.

The tears she forced had just accumulated in the corners of her eyes, and she was so dazed that the tears shrank back again.

"Wu Niang didn't mean that! Eldest sister just came back, why did she come to ask elder sister for something? She was just wronged on weekdays, and no one can tell her!" Shen Siniang explained for her.

Shen Wuniang nodded again and again, "Uh, yes, yes, I just want to complain to my sister..."

"Oh," Shen Xinniang nodded, "I thought you asked me for cloth, and you were about to promise to give it to you. No, that's all."

When Shen Wuniang heard this, her jaw fell to the ground with a thud.

She no longer knew what expression she should use to look at her eldest sister.

She repents now, is there still time?
"Big sister, I..."

"Huh?" Shen Xinniang put down the tea cup and looked at her.

"fine."

Under Shen Xinniang's dark eyes, Shen Wuniang said with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, then I'll see you at dinner, I'm a little tired." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

"Then eldest sister, rest well first!" Shen Siniang immediately got up and saluted.

Shen Wuniang also had no choice but to stand up and look back at Shen Xinniang every step of the way.

Cloth!Spring grass is newly spun!

Just pass by!Not reconciled!
"What are you talking about!" Shen Wuniang complained when she came outside.

"There is still a chance tonight!" Shen Siniang said calmly.

Shen Wuniang snorted reluctantly, but there was nothing she could do.

Dinner is eaten in the courtyard.

People from a large family, even brothers who have never met, and aunts who have never met have come.

There were two tables set up before sitting down.

But Mrs. Zhu, who lived in the East Wing, was not present.

As soon as Shen Wuniang came in, she took a few glances, even the inconspicuous place behind the screen.

She caught all the lazy maids in hiding, and she didn't see Mrs. Zhu.

"Aunt Lian, where is my mother? It's inappropriate for my mother not to come on such an occasion, isn't it?" Shen Wuniang's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Aunt Lian smiled softly, "Fifth lady, the master said that the madam is not in good health, she should rest more, so there is no need to invite me."

Shen Wuniang frowned, "You must be talking nonsense, father wouldn't be like this!"

Aunt Lian lowered her voice, and sneered at her, "Do you have the guts to ask yourself? See if the master will lock you up too?"

"Hmph! My father can't!" Shen Wuniang was about to take a step.

Aunt Lian said calmly, "Do you think how much Eldest Lady wants to see Madam?"

Shen Wuniang stopped immediately when she heard the words.

When she locked her elder sister in the ancestral hall, her mother found her cousin to go...

The bloody hairpin seemed to be still dangling in front of his eyes.

I'm afraid she will never forget it in her life.

From that time on, the eldest sister probably hated her mother...

Shen Wuniang looked back at Aunt Lian.

Seeing her arranging the maids to set the tableware in a leisurely manner, she didn't look in a hurry at all.

It seemed that she was not worried at all that she would really go to her father to complain, so it must be the arrangement of her father.

She encouraged herself like this just to make her angry with her father again.

Last time, she was fined and banned for half a month!
"Hmph! I won't make you wish!" Shen Wuniang snorted coldly at Aunt Lian.

Aunt Lian smiled.

At this moment, Shen Xiniang was helped by the maid into the banquet hall.

"Come, come, big lady, take your seat!" Aunt Lian immediately greeted her with a smile.

"How can I take the seat?" Shen Xinniang's tone was slightly puzzled.

"Of course it should be. Madam is unwell, so she didn't come. You are the eldest daughter of the main family, and you are a guest when you come back, so you should be seated!" Aunt Lian pushed aside Shen Wuniang who was standing beside her, and said with a smile.

Shen Wuniang gritted her teeth and snorted coldly.

Her mother is the stepmother, and she is also a descendant!Who are you telling this to!

Separate seating for men and women.

At the women's table, Shen Xinniang sat at the main seat.

Aunts and sisters she knew or didn't know sat beside her.

Waiting for everyone to arrive, everyone bowed to Shen Shangshu and took their seats.

When the meal is on the table, eat without saying a word.

At the quiet banquet, only the slight clash of cups and plates could be heard.

At this time, no one noticed that outside the hall, in the bleak wind, a person tightened his cloak on his shoulders, looked at the warm and comfortable hall with burning earth dragons and charcoal basins, and brightly lit hall with red eyes.

The man's eyes seemed to be filled with indelible hatred, and he stared blankly at Shen Xinniang, who was sitting in the main seat, who was like a moon surrounded by stars.

There, it was supposed to be her place!

She is the character that everyone should please in this backyard, this home!
Perhaps her eyes were too hot.

Shen Xinniang suddenly raised her head and looked out of the hall.

In the dark place covered by the night outside the door, a figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Wait for the food to be removed.

Shen Shangshu sipped weak tea and looked at Shen Xinniang.

"It's good that you can remember to come back, it shows that you are still filial."

Shen Xinniang glanced at him indifferently.

In the dark and waveless eyes, one could feel a bit of sarcasm.

Shen Shangshu frowned slightly displeased, but when he thought of his purpose, he calmed down, "You are in Prince Qi's mansion, are you doing well?"

"Is father very concerned?" Shen Xiniang asked back.

"Of course I care about you!" Shen Shangshu's tone was a little displeased, but he breathed out quickly, "Father is usually busy with official duties, so he rarely has time to care about you. In fact, father always misses you in his heart."

"Since when? Since my mother gave birth to me? Or since I was sent to Wu Xing's hometown? Or, after I was sent to Qi Palace by you in a sedan chair?" Shen Xiniang asked seriously.

As soon as this word comes out.

No matter how good Shen Shangshu's patience was, his expression changed.

"As soon as you come back, you will feel uncomfortable, won't you?!"

"If it wasn't for the anniversary of my mother's death, I wouldn't have come back." Shen Xinniang said indifferently.

"You—" Shen Shangshu panted, "I just praised you for your filial piety!"

Aunt Lian quickly stepped forward, softly stroking Shen Shangshu's back and chest, not daring to preach to Shen Xiniang, so she could only softly persuade: "Master, don't worry, don't worry, if you have something to say..."

After finishing speaking, he pointedly pinched Shen Shangshu's back lightly.

"You all go back!" Shen Shangshu pointed to the side and lowered his head, he dared not listen, he dared not leave, he said to the cowardly crowd.

The concubines, servants, and the children of the Shen family all bowed and retreated after hearing the words.

Only Aunt Lian and Siniang Shen did not leave.

Shen Wuniang retreated to the door, and seeing that Shen Siniang hadn't left, she also stayed.

Shen Shangshu glanced at them, frowned and said, "You all go out too!"

Shen Siniang was taken aback.

Aunt Lian was also a little surprised.

But they didn't dare to disobey Shen Shangshu, so they withdrew step by step.

"I don't want to quarrel with you. I want you to come back this time, besides asking you to worship your mother, there is one more thing." Shen Shangshu tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, and said slowly.

Shen Xinniang looked at him indifferently and didn't ask any further questions.
