Lin Zhi looked at Shen Qingyu's back and exchanged a glance with Xiangyu next to her. Both of them were unsure what Shen Qingyu was thinking at the moment.
After all, the eldest lady, Shen Xitong, although older than Shen Qingyu, is a concubine's daughter, born to a concubine, and there is a huge difference in status between them. The second lady hasn't even had a birthday party for so many years. I'm afraid that few people in the mansion know the second lady's birthday, and even the kitchen will not make a bowl of longevity noodles on the second lady's birthday.
They are both young ladies in the mansion, and the second young lady is a legitimate daughter. The gap between the two is simply a world of difference.
The eldest daughter was deeply loved by the master, and was also pampered by Concubine Liu. Every year, her birthday banquet was held with great fanfare, as if she was the legitimate daughter of the family. The third daughter, who was also born out of wedlock, did not live a very good life either.
Lin Zhi sighed slightly in her heart. As a servant, how could she discuss so many right and wrongs?
Shen Qingyu was thinking about something else.
Shen Chuanhe chose Nan Rongyan as Shen Xitong's future husband, but Shen Xitong's status was too humble, so they would definitely find a way to raise Shen Xitong's status. Since she was born as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, that was inevitable.
Bai Ying hates Aunt Liu, and has thrown the children born by Aunt Liu into Aunt Liu's yard to be raised for so many years. On the one hand, Bai Ying's mind is on Shen Youhong, and she has no intention of raising these illegitimate children by her side; on the other hand, she and Aunt Liu are at loggerheads, and Aunt Liu should be grateful that Bai Ying did not deliberately target Shen Xitong and Shen Youxing.
Therefore, it is not possible for Shen Xitong to have the status of a legitimate daughter and be born under the care of her stepmother.
I'm afraid Shen Chuanhe has thought about this, but Bai Ying doesn't agree to it. Besides, Shen Chuanhe doesn't want Aunt Liu to suffer any injustice, and it would be better to kill her to have her own children registered under someone else's name.
Aunt Liu is not a good person either. She has her own ambitions, otherwise Bai Ying would not have gone crazy and let her take the position in the Shen family.
But when this Grandma Shen came here, Shen Qingyu didn't have much impression of her. However, this person was the second wife of Suzhou Governor Xiao. Although she was a second wife, she was also a legitimate wife of the main wife. With connections with officials, her status was naturally noble.
In order to have Madam Xiao to add splendor to Shen Xitong's coming-of-age ceremony, Shen Chuanhe really did everything he could to get married into the Nanrong family.
Shen Xitong is so lucky.
Shen Qingyu said nothing, and Lin Zhi and Xiangyu felt heavy in their hearts.
Lin Zhi said, "Second Miss, if there is nothing else, I will go back to Madam's courtyard first. I think the eldest aunt has just arrived at the mansion and there are still many things to do."
Shen Qingyu stopped and looked towards Tingyu Garden not far away. The whip wounds on his back were still hurting slightly.
"Lin Zhi, I'll go back with you. Mother must be very busy, so I should share more of her responsibilities and help her work less," Shen Qingyu said with a gentle smile. "My aunt is coming to the Shen family, and as a junior, I can't just pretend not to see her. I should go and pay my respects."
Lin Zhi was a little surprised.
"Yes, Miss, please go with me."
Lin Zhi really didn't expect that the second young lady would actually think of paying respects to the eldest aunt. In the past, the second young lady was very afraid of this powerful eldest aunt. Not only did they, the servants, have to be careful in dealing with her, but even the master had to give in to her. After all, the eldest aunt was backed by the Suzhou Xiao family, and no one dared to neglect her.
Normally, when the Second Miss saw the Eldest Aunt from afar, she would immediately avoid her and would avoid meeting her if possible. Because of this incident, the Eldest Aunt was very dissatisfied with the Second Miss, and even criticized her harshly in front of the Madam, saying that the Second Miss raised by the Madam was not decent, and that such a person was a waste and it would be better to send her to the farm to fend for herself. She always looked down on the Second Miss.
For this reason, the lady also severely reprimanded the second young lady, saying that she had brought shame to herself in the Shen family, and told her not to go in front of others unless she had something to do in the future.
Therefore, the second young lady stayed in her own yard for a long time and never went out.
But the second young lady has changed a lot now, she is completely different. Lin Zhi can see it. Not only does she know when to advance and retreat, but today in the hall, the second young lady was almost sent to the farm outside. However, she not only exposed the true identity of the Taoist priest and saved herself, but also caught the man afterwards.
This was something Lin Zhi didn't even dare to think about.
Shen Qingyu followed Lin Zhi back to Wuheyuan. As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he heard angry cursing and the sound of things being smashed coming from inside the house.
"She still claims to be the wife of a noble family. Bah, she doesn't even know the rules of respect and inferiority. I think the Shen family has swallowed all the etiquette into a dog's stomach!"
Bai Ying's angry voice was heard from inside the room, and it was obvious that she was scolding her aunt Shen Ruyan.
And the curse was extremely harsh.
Shen Qingyu took a step back. The sound of things being smashed in the room was really too loud. If it weren't for the gate, it would have been heard outside.
However, does Bai Ying care? She made such a big fuss, fearing that others would not know her anger.
"The Shen family had the idea of raising a concubine as a co-wife. I really feel ashamed for the Shen family. If Mr. Shen knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die!"
Bai Ying's voice came again, and Shen Qingyu finally understood what was going on.
The development of this matter was consistent with her thoughts.
This time, Aunt Liu used Taoist Qingyun to set up a trap, but failed to make Shen Qingyu bear the stigma of being a disaster and expel her. Is she thinking of other ways to make trouble for Shen Chuanhe and Shen Ruyan?
This matter is not explained in the book. After all, Shen Ruyan is proud of her noble status and would never interfere in her brother's family affairs.
In the book, Aunt Liu handled things perfectly on her own, so there was no need for Shen Ruyan to intervene.
When Shen Qingyu entered the room, he saw Bai Ying holding a white plum porcelain vase in her hand and was about to smash it to the ground.
She curled her lips and said, what a bad habit it has. It has ruined all the good things. What a pity!
Shen Qingyu stepped forward and snatched the white plum porcelain vase from Bai Ying's hand, and placed it carefully on the cabinet next to her. "Mom, even if you are angry, you shouldn't vent your anger on these things that can't speak or resist. Isn't this clearly bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
"I bully the weak and fear the strong?" Bai Ying was even more furious. "You unfilial daughter, how can you say that about your own mother? I should have beaten you to death when you were born!"
