After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 253 Not a Woman Who Can Tie Up a Man

Hearing that her son would go to Yuandu with his father, Mrs. Shen could no longer hide the joy on her face, and stepped forward to salute:

"Thank you father for caring for Xinning, and my daughter will take better care of Xinning, so that he will be healthy and free from illness and disaster."

"puff--"

Suddenly, there was a charming chuckle.

Everyone looked over and saw that the voice was from the fifth girl who had always been at odds with the eldest girl when she was a child, so they looked away without being surprised.

Although Shen Shangshu's woman had married out and took another person's surname, when she returned to Shen's house, everyone still called her by the old name.

"I'm talking to my father, how can Xiao Wu behave like this?"

Shen Xinning's mother put on the air of an authentic prostitute, and asked in a cold voice.

The fifth girl squeezed the handkerchief and gently covered her mouth, "Oh, don't blame me, I am." She glanced at Shen Qiuting as she spoke, "Eldest sister's words are not good, so you don't mean to poke the heart of the Patriarch Is it?"

Who doesn't know that the current head of the Shen family is an orphan brought in from the clan, and the root cause of his illness was that he was left unattended since he was a child.

"No problem"

Knowing that the two of them would carry on endlessly, Shen Qiuting intervened in time, "It's a fact that I'm not in good health, Fifth Sister, don't worry about me."

The parties have said so, and the fifth girl can't make use of the topic anymore, so she can only change the topic, "Father, my daughter asked the housekeeper to go to Raozhou, and the Tang Huhu I saw is indeed a man, definitely not the tenth sister."

Hearing Shimeimei's words, Shen Qiuting's eyes instantly became sharp.

Although he was ill some time ago and didn't handle many things, but it was related to Shiniang, and the steward below had no reason to hide it from him, "Fifth sister, why does the steward at home not know about this matter?"

In order to share resources, and to prevent people from forming groups in private, the Shen family stipulated that all parties should be considered and arranged by the head of the family.

Fifth Miss hesitated a little, "Father asked Seventh Younger Sister to pass it on to me." As she said that, she looked at Seventh Younger Girl, "Did you tell the housekeeper?"

Seventh girl let out a sigh.

"The Patriarch was ill for a while, my father asked me to check it out, and then I saw that the fifth younger sister was close to Raozhou, so I asked her to run for me Father, Patriarch, this is my negligence, next time Be sure to remember to talk to the housekeeper, after all, the rules can't be broken."

Shen Shangshu nodded after listening, "It is true that I asked Xiao Qi to investigate. Next time, follow the rules, and forget it this time."

Shen Qiuting fell silent, he actually didn't care whether the rules of the Shen family were broken or not, and now he was more concerned about the details of the investigation by Miss Wu.

Just thinking about how to ask so as not to make people suspicious, the fifth girl over there spoke again.

"However, the butler found an interesting story in Raozhou."

"Oh?" Shen Shangshu became interested, "What's the matter?"

"The housekeeper found out that the owner of a pastry shop with whom Tang Huhu had close contacts once disguised himself as a man."

The fifth girl said, "The housekeeper went to the shop to ask for an interview several times but was rejected, so he had to pay someone to check the girl's details, and learned that the girl's surname was Bai, and she went to the Western Regions with her parents when she was young. When people come back from the Western Regions, they can make some rare food and objects, which is very famous in Raozhou, and it is said that they have made a lot of money."

"What does it look like?"

Shen Shangshu asked people to investigate because he just wanted to do business for the regent, but he didn't expect that there was such a number one person who disguised himself as a man over there. Although the information he inquired about was far from the situation of their family, he still couldn't help it. An inexplicable expectation rose.

Miss Wu made a gesture, and the maid beside her stepped forward and handed a scroll to the nearest steward.

"The butler spent a long time in Raozhou and couldn't see the white girl, so he had to come to ask to see her. Although the other side still refused, the butler was not discouraged and kept guarding the door of her house. No, it really made him guard her."

The fifth girl turned to Shen Qiuting, "Patriarch, you are familiar with Xiao Shi, let's see if he looks like Xiao Shi."

Shen Qiuting took the scroll from the housekeeper, glanced sideways at Shen Shangshu, and waited for Shen Shangshu to signal him to look first before slowly unfolding the scroll.

A simple movement, but Shen Qiuting found it extremely difficult. His hands trembled slightly, his heart beat like a drum, and his mind was a little confused. He didn't know whether to expect this woman to be Shi Niang, or pray that she must not be Shi Niang.

He wanted to know if Shi Niang was still alive, but he didn't want Shi Niang to be discovered by the Shen family. After all, she wanted to escape from this family so much.

Everyone below held their breath.

Because of this Shen Shiniang, all of them have suffered a lot in the past few years, so even though they usually try to find ways to fight for favor, now they all hope that this matter will be settled soon.

"Patriarch, is she the tenth sister?"

Some people are impatient, thinking that Shen Qiuting's movements are too slow and can't help but urge him.

Shen Qiuting didn't care about others at all, he unfolded the portrait bit by bit, inch by inch, as carefully as holding a treasure in his hands, until he saw the woman's slightly heroic eyebrows in the painting.

For a moment, deep disappointment welled up in my heart, and at the same time, I silently breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, it was not discovered by the Shen family.

He quickly unfolded the remaining part, and it was indeed not the woman in his memory. He handed the scroll to Shen Shangshu, "Father, not the tenth younger sister."

Shen Shangshu took the portrait and glanced at it.

Although he doesn't remember Shen Shiniang's appearance, but this face does not look like a daughter that the Shen family would raise. She is beautiful, but she does not look like a woman who can tie a man tightly.

(Yunqi far away in Raozhou: Who is speaking ill of Miss Ben?!)

"Sure enough not."

After reading it, Shen Shangshu sighed with emotion, and handed the scroll to the steward, who then showed it to the eagerly awaited crowd below.

Everyone just looked at it and didn't say much.

After all, the daughters of the Shen family seldom contact each other in private. Except for a few elder sisters, the others are not familiar with each other, and they can even be said to be strangers.

When it was Eleven Niang's turn to look at the portrait, she snorted, "Why does this white girl look familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Everyone looked at her with questioning eyes.

Shen Xinning glanced at the portrait curiously when he heard the words, but said nothing.

Eleven Niang looked up and saw everyone looking at her, she smiled shyly, "Oh, I can't remember where I saw it, but this dress"

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said:

"I remembered. The year before last, there was a special scientific examination. This girl won the top few horse races. I remember her!"

"No way"

The fifth girl thought for a while and retorted:
"The steward said that the white girl only returned to Daye from the Western Regions last year. How could she go to Yuandu to participate in the special scientific examination the year before last?"

"But I did see her"

Eleven Niang pointed to the clothes of the woman in the portrait and said, "This dress is very special. At that time, Niang asked me if she was a man or a woman. Right, it is her. I will not remember wrongly."

If Eleven Niang did not admit her mistake, it could only be that the butler was guarding the wrong person. Miss Wu didn't expect this to happen, so she was at a loss for words.

"Father"

Shen Qiuting thought for a while and said, "There must be some misunderstanding, let me handle it."

Shen Shangshu nodded, "However, your body has just recovered, so you can't work too hard, and let the people below share more if you can do it."

"Thank you father for your compassion."
