Chapter 30 Meeting with Mrs. Jiang

Zi Fu, please don't blame me. I followed those people. As soon as my other foot stepped out of the door, I heard a sarcastic voice from behind me that I couldn't tell the mood.

"The one in front, stay." I was shocked and pulled the person in front of me who had left Shen Jing's sight by his clothes and threw him in.

The man knelt on the ground in fear. I always felt creepy when someone was staring at me from behind, and I said to myself, I'm sorry, sister, I will make it up to you.

Not long after, the door was opened and the person I pushed in just now came out with a lingering fear on his face. I walked up to him and asked him if he was okay.

The person's legs went weak and she climbed on top of me. What was going on? I asked someone to help her to her room. Shen Jing went out first, and I immediately lowered my head and waited for Zi Fu to leave.

As soon as Zi Fu came out, I ran behind her and helped her to greet her parents-in-law. I met Shen Jing's parents when I got married yesterday. They looked very kind and easy to get along with.

But it is true. As soon as the newlyweds arrived, the corners of their mouths never curled up. After all, we were trained by the nanny in advance and we were very polite.

Both the parents-in-law like Zi Fu very much. Shen Jing's father is a man of great integrity and is so kind to his family. No wonder he is so loved by the people in the city.

Shen Jing's mother, Jiang, is very gentle. Although there are traces of several months' wear on her face, looking at her son, one can be sure that Jiang must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

When I was lost in thought, Mrs. Jiang called my name in a gentle voice. I bowed and came to Mrs. Jiang, who stroked my hand.

I nodded with satisfaction at Mr. Shen. I didn't understand what was going on, but then I realized that they must know that Uncle Zhiyi had adopted me as his daughter.

Mr. Shen had a lot of things to do, so after we had breakfast, he hurried away with Shen Jing, leaving Zi Fu to chat with Madam Jiang.

I used all the tricks I knew how to coax my mother, and Mrs. Jiang was so excited that she pulled us and refused to leave. Later in the conversation, Zi Fu talked to her mother-in-law about Shen Jing.

It was just a superficial inquiry like how was your day yesterday. I was very confident about this matter and worked hard on it the whole night.

Mrs. Jiang must have seen the blood. In order to make it look more realistic, I poured some water on it and caught a sticky insect. Mrs. Jiang was very experienced and even a little blood could not fool me.

I looked at the time and it was almost noon. I really couldn't sit still anymore. Yes, Mrs. Jiang asked me to sit down and chat, so I stood up and walked to Zi Fu.

Zi Fu glanced at me, stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang, "Oh, look at me, I was so engrossed in chatting that I forgot the time." We said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang.

I was so tired after leaving the room that I turned my neck. "Chatting is really not for me." Zi Fu didn't react. "What if Lele marries into her husband's family in the future?"

I curled my lips and said, "Let's talk about it later. By the way, Shen Jing didn't lose his temper in the room just now. I saw that the person who came out just now was so scared that his legs became weak."

"My husband didn't do anything. He just asked that man to help change clothes." Zi Fu blurted out. Then why was that man so scared? No, she had to go and ask him.

After having lunch with Zi Fu, I had nothing to do, so I made a plate of pastries and went to see the little girl. I pushed open the door, and the little girl saw me coming and got out of bed to greet me.

I was quick enough to hold her down and said, "No, no, I just came to see you." I put the pastries on the table.

"I heard from others that your name is Hongdou." Hongdou nodded, confirming my answer.

"We were just helping Mr. Shen change his clothes this morning. You must have been serving him for a long time. Why are you so afraid of him?" I asked in a very puzzled tone.

Hongdou hesitated, looking around anxiously, "My master is marrying into the Shen family, and I am her personal maid. We need to get along well in the future and be sisters who can help each other."

He stuffed the small change in his hand into Hongdou's hand, and only then did Hongdou relax and began to tell the story.

"We are all servants in the Shen Mansion who have been working since we were young. Outsiders don't know that Master Shen has a very strange temper. Last time, when a maid was helping to change clothes, she accidentally dropped her clothes on the ground, and Master Shen beat that person half to death."

Hongdou was trembling with fear when she said this, and I was even more confused. Hongdou looked at me incredulously and said, "Master Shen is not always like this, sometimes he is good and sometimes he is bad."

"Then why did you stay here for so long?" I asked the question in my heart.

"The money given here is also quite a lot. Except for Master Shen, everyone else is very nice. The longer you stay, the more things you will be given when you leave."

No wonder, it turns out it's the power of the RMB. I exchanged a few more pleasantries, but there was really nothing to ask, so I told Hongdou to have a good rest and left.

As soon as I got the news, I ran to tell Zi Fu. As soon as I reached the door, I heard a voice from inside. It was a man.

I put my ear against the door. The voice sounded a bit like Shen Jing. If Shen Jing was around, I wouldn't go in. After all, I was going to file a complaint against Shen Jing.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, I went back to my room and called Nannan out to eat with me, "Nannan, what if someone sees you like this?"

I watched Nannan eating food with one chopstick in her left hand and taking a big mouthful of rice with her right hand. She was afraid that she would choke to death, so she drank a large glass of water, as if she hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.

"No, you didn't have any food to eat before?" I asked two people the question in a row before Nannan looked up at me, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then answered me slowly.

"Others can't see me. I have become a demon and don't need to eat." When I heard her say that I didn't need to eat, I gobbled up all the food on the table like a starving ghost.

I hadn't eaten a single bite of the food, but she sat aside drinking tea and simply stopped eating. She put away the bowl and chopsticks and walked away with the plate.

I walked to the kitchen and handed the dishes to the cook there. The cook saw that I had eaten all the dishes clean and said, "It's easy to get hungry after chatting with the lady."

Listening to the cook's gentle words, I didn't even bother asking for another meal. I just thought of it as a way to lose weight.

I made some cakes to eat, left some for the cook, and took them back to the room. As soon as my daughter saw it, she rushed over, grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Didn't you just have dinner?" Nannan rolled her eyes at me and ignored me.

I sat next to Nannan and gossiped with her about the news I had just heard. After listening to me, Nannan also felt strange.

“Maybe he is just that kind of person.”

"As long as I can live a peaceful life, that's enough. Shen Jing should leave. I'll go see how Zi Fu is doing."

Nannan ignored me and started reading medical books. There was nothing to do these days, so Nannan would read medical books when she was bored. So it was better that I didn't have to read them and could just ask Nannan if I had any questions.
