The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 258: Thousands of Words
"Princess Ning'an, please take a seat." Seeing that his sister was still in a daze and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shen Junling quickly asked Qin Ruo to sit down.
From Qin Ruo's performance at the recent banquet, Shen Junling has some understanding of Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo was a person who would not be persuaded by anything. She was afraid that her sister would lose control of her emotions at this moment, which would cause Qin Ruo's disgust and make the relationship between mother and daughter worse.
"Yes, Ruo'er, please sit down, please sit down." Shen Ruyi reacted and quickly took out a handkerchief to press the corners of her eyes, and carefully let Qin Ruo sit down.
The year she left, Qin Ruo was only about five years old and didn't remember much.
At this point, she didn't dare ask her daughter whether she still had any impression of her mother.
She now dared not even mention a word about the brothers Qin Ziyan and Qin Zimu.
Before coming, Shen Junling told her to control her emotions when she met Qin Ruo and not to act too hastily.
Seeing her daughter standing in front of her safe and sound, the emotional Shen Ruyi, how could she remember so much?
She was very glad that she met Qin Huaizheng when she was stranded in Taihe County.
Later, she married Qin Huaizheng in Changhe Village and had her own child. Although their life was hard, they lived a peaceful life.
But I didn't expect that one day Shen Junxing would come to me, and he would be gone for more than ten years.
Qin Ruo didn't hesitate and sat down calmly.
Qin Ruo couldn't say that she blamed Shen Ruyi.
After all, she is not the original owner and cannot empathize with him.
When she came through, it was the first time she saw Shen Ruyi, and she really couldn't pretend to have much affection for her biological mother.
Shen Ruyi picked up the teapot and wanted to add some tea to Qin Ruo's cup. Her hands were shaking a little.
I don’t know if it’s because of excitement or sadness.
"No need. I just drank in the next room. If you two have something to say, just say it directly." Qin Ruo covered the rim of the cup without any roundabout way.
She also didn't know how to address Shen Ruyi. Call her mother? She really couldn't bring herself to call her that.
As for Shen Junling, he was indeed different from Shen Junxing. The other party did not come up and preach by using his status as an elder.
On the contrary, everything was done in accordance with courtesy and the attitude was extremely humble, and the other party seemed to be knowledgeable and tactful.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Shen Junling's attitude was good, so Qin Ruo naturally softened her tone.
Shen Ruyi couldn't help but tear up at her daughter's polite yet distant attitude.
Seeing this scene, Shen Junling could only worry.
After the palace banquet, Shen Junling wanted to let the mother and daughter meet, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
Today, he heard that Qin Ruo had taken some people out and entered the teahouse, so he hurried over with Shen Ruyi.
The two of them had no purpose in asking Qin Ruo to come over. Shen Ruyi just wanted to see her child.
Shen Ruyi now has no face to ask Qin Ruo and her brother to recognize her.
"Over the years, I have let you and your brother down, and I have let the Qin family down..."
"Now is not the time to find out who is right or wrong. I am just a little curious. Miss Shen was one of the three famous beauties in the capital back then. How could she fall into the hands of such an unpresentable person? And after returning to the capital, have you ever thought about finding a way to leave? Or is the Qin family just a past that you don't want to recall?"
Qin Ruo waved her hand to interrupt Shen Ruyi's words. She just wanted to know some of the truth about what happened back then, not to hear the other party's apology. She was really a little impatient.
Let's not talk about the original owner, let's talk about Qin Erlang. Because of Shen Ruyi, how many years has he been branded as a nemesis?
What can these few words of apology make up for?
Qin Ruo's sharp question made Shen Ruyi's face turn paler and paler.
Shen Ruyi didn't dare to resist. Having stayed in the Shen Mansion's villa for ten years, Shen Junling understood Shen Ruyi's concerns at the time.
In fact, he also wanted to know the previous question.
After Shen Ruyi returned to the capital, he also asked her about the truth behind her disappearance. However, Shen Ruyi remained silent about the matter and refused to mention it.
At that time, everyone in the Shen residence thought that the incident was too shocking for Shen Ruyi, so they did not dare to question her, and the incident became an unsolved case.
Later, when Shen Ruyi was poisoned, Tang Qingmei revealed her true colors. Although she admitted that she had calculated on Shen Ruyi, she refused to elaborate on the process.
"No, Ruo'er, it's not like that..." Qin Ruo's call of "Miss Shen" made Shen Ruyi's eyes gradually dim.
How could she bear to give up her own child and the Qin family?
Although life in Changhe Village was hard, the Qin mother and son treated her sincerely, and she was always grateful for this.
She looked up at Qin Ruo, her eyes lost in the long past.
"Back then, I still remember the first time I saw Tang Qingmei, it was when my mother had just returned from worshiping Buddha in the temple..."
That year, Madam Shen went to a temple outside the city to worship Buddha. When she came back, there was a girl with shabby clothes and a frightened expression by her side.
Old Madam Shen told her that on her way back from the temple this time, she happened to encounter some extremely vicious bandits.
While the two accompanying guards were struggling with the bandits, the coachman in charge of driving the carriage actually abandoned the carriage and fled because of fear, leaving Madam Shen and a few maids alone.
At the critical moment, he met Tang Qingmei who happened to be going up the mountain to pray for blessings, and her mother Wang beside her.
It was Tang Qingmei who, ignoring the bandits chasing after them, took over the coachman's job and drove the carriage to bring Madam Shen out of danger.
Old Madam Shen was deeply saddened when she learned from Tang Qingmei her tortuous life story.
Tang Qingmei's father was originally a fifth-rank official in the capital. His biological mother died early, and his stepmother took birth.
She has been struggling to survive under the control of her stepmother.
Who would have thought that two months ago, there was an accidental fire in her house, and her father and stepmother's family were all killed in the fire. Only she and a personal maid escaped.
The master and servant pawned some jewelry, rented a house where common people gathered, and made a living by doing embroidery work.
It is easy to find out about the affairs of that fifth-rank official.
There was indeed an official named Tang in the capital. Because he had committed some crimes in the past, he was dismissed from his post by the emperor and had been staying at home.
Not long ago, a servant accidentally knocked over an oil lamp, causing dozens of people in the mansion, except Tang Qingmei and Mother Wang, to be burned to death.
After confirming Tang Qingmei's identity, Old Madam Shen brought Tang Qingmei and Mother Wang back to the mansion and had them live there as cousins.
Shen Ruyi was opposed to Madam Shen's plan to take in Tang Qingmei.
Although Tang Qingmei saved Madam Shen's life, it was still inappropriate to rashly take in a person of unknown identity.
Besides, the fact that Madam Shen encountered bandits outside the city was itself a bit strange.
The capital has been peaceful recently, and there have been no reports of bandits causing trouble outside the city.
How come it was such a coincidence that Old Madam Shen met him?
The two guards that Mr. Shen brought with him at that time had unfortunately died because they were outnumbered by the time Mrs. Shen returned to the city in shock and the government officials rushed over.
The bandits who besieged Madam Shen had long since disappeared, as if they had vanished out of thin air, and not even a single clue could be found.
