Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 206
She pondered: "I have nothing to do. I still want to thank you for telling me this."

After she finished speaking, she held up the cup with both hands and issued an order to evict the guests.

Lin Pei obviously didn't expect her to be like this, he glared at him angrily, and strode out the door.

After Lin Pei left, Qi Jiu followed Shen Xi into the room.

"It seems that he is also ignorant of the inside story." She said.

After being silent, Shen Xi asked her directly under the curtain: "Is the person who asked you to come in to protect me, Aunt Pei?"

Qi Jiu froze, then stopped talking.

Shen Xi knew the truth in his heart, took advantage of the situation and sat down on the couch, and sighed slightly.

From the moment she learned the cause of Shen Chongxin and his wife's death from Aunt Pei, she began to have faint doubts about Shen Chongxin, the aunt.

Until she asked about her menarche and her attitude towards marriage, her doubts deepened.

So when Qi Jiu said that someone had invited her into the mansion to protect her, she immediately thought of Aunt Pei.

Since Qi Jiu entered the mansion, she has always been calm, which also proves this point.

At this moment, she can no longer allow Auntie to pretend...

"Go and see what Auntie is doing?"

She rubbed her forehead.

Zhixiazhai was originally Aunt Pei's residence.

Shen Liang had lived in the main house with Mrs. Hu earlier, and Mrs. Hu had no children, so she regarded Shen Xi who was raised as her lifeblood, and raised her concubine Shen Liang as her own son.

The courtyard that has not been lived in for three years still looks a little lonely no matter how long the incense is burned.

Or maybe it is still not as friendly as the house in the original memory.

Aunt Pei sat by the window, looking at Qiuju outside the fence for an unknown amount of time.It wasn't until a dart landed on Huaxin, and then Shen Liang bounced into the field of vision, breaking the tranquility of this scene forcibly, that she suddenly regained her senses.

"Have you finished your homework today?" She scolded lightly.

After getting his answer, she raised the needle in her hand again, rubbed it on her scalp twice, and continued to work with her head down.

His subordinates were wearing a mostly made autumn shirt, Shen Xi's favorite plain color these days.

In August, the weather has turned cooler. It is still very sunny during the day, but there is heavy dew at night.

Now their daily life is completely carefree, their clothes and meals are all in accordance with the rules, and Shen Xi's clothes that go out are taken to the embroidery factory, and the household clothes are covered by her.

Her embroidery is not as good as hers, but it is not inferior.

When you make something, you will always be praised.

She skillfully picked two embroidered threads of different colors, threaded them through with another embroidery needle, and embroidered flowers on the fabric with the "three-color brocade" weaving method.

"My aunt is so good, she must have been an embroiderer in the past, right?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room, and then the light and shadow in front of his eyes flickered, and Shen Xi had already arrived.

Aunt Pei's hands trembled slightly, she raised her head and smiled at her beautiful face: "When did you come? Why didn't I hear footsteps?"

"It was deliberately lightened, how would Auntie know?" Shen Xi's eyes fell on the material of the clothes, his chin was resting on the folded arms, and he looked careless.

Aunt Pei glanced at her face, her expression relaxed, she got up with a smile and brought a plate of cakes, and said, "Mr. Lin is gone?"

"You told me a shocking secret, and if you still don't leave, are you waiting for me to chase after you with a broom?" Shen Xi took a crispy corner and ate it.

Aunt Pei was startled: "What secret?"

Shen Xi looked down at the plate, and fiddled with the crispy corners inside with his fingers.

Aunt Pei was a little uneasy, she took out the silk from her cuff and wiped her temples.

"Actually, it's nothing, that is, I'm an adopted child, not a daughter of the Shen family." Shen Xi said.

Aunt Pei will be there.

"Auntie," at some point Shen Xi saw her face again, her eyes were gloomy, like the moonlight in a quiet night, "How did I come to Shen's house?
"What should my last name be? What happened to my biological parents? What is the identity of my aunt? Whose child is Brother Liang? There are so many mysteries that I can barely breathe."

Aunt Pei's face gradually froze, like a pool of water under the moonlight.

It wasn't until she held her breath long enough that she lowered her shoulders and murmured, "How do I know this, I've never heard of it."

"But Qi Jiu was invited to the mansion by you." Shen Xi didn't allow her to evade, "And you also know that I have Helian's blood on my body.

"Before my mother died, she only called you into the room to talk. Even my own daughter was never able to hear it.

"My mother even handed over all her account books to you. And you are just an aunt. If she is not sure that you will treat me well, how could she do such a thing?"

Aunt Pei's face turned pale.

"How did Lin Pei know about this?"

"I'll tell you later. But please answer my earlier question, Auntie."

Aunt Pei raised her hands on the table and unconsciously scratched in the air, as if trying to retrieve something from the years, then she stood up and stood firmly in the middle of the room.

"What do you want me to say? I never intended to talk about it."

She murmured, as if she was speaking to Shen Xi, but also as if she was speaking to herself.

"Why don't we start with the master and wife." Shen Xi gave her a hint. "Tell me how you and I got to the Shen family?"

"Brother Liang is the child of me and the master."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then, Aunt Pei's voice seemed to come out of an ancient stone mill: "My wife can't have children, but the master insists that there is a girl, so I don't want to have any more children.

"My wife asked the Hu family to send me to the mansion, and then made the master accept me by both soft and hard ways.

"She said that the master has taken care of her enough, if she doesn't leave the master's flesh and blood alive, she will be sorry for her.

"The wife's thoughts are very old. Her heart is only for her husband and children.

"I don't know what other people will think of them, but in my heart, the master is also a loving and righteous man.

"He doesn't want to disappoint his wife, and he respects her more in his heart. He rarely comes to my room, but he never treats me badly in daily life.

"And I...have never cared about fairness or unfairness, nor have I ever thought about whether the master treats me like this is right. I have never held grudges against my wife.

"Because even if I am a cow and a horse in the Shen family, even if I can't be an aunt or give birth to Brother Liang, I must come to the Shen family!

"It's my mission to come to Shen's house. I'm a servant myself, not to mention they let me have my own flesh and blood..."

She lifted her face up, her face in a daze.

Shen Xi's expression softened a little when he heard that Shen Liang was Shen Chongxin's flesh and blood, but before she could speak, Aunt Pei had already looked over.

"The girl must be wondering, why do I say that I am a servant, right?"

She raised her lips slightly, but there was a trace of sadness in the corner of her mouth: "Because this servant is indeed a servant, I am just a servant girl left by your biological mother."
