Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 499

Shi Wanzhen looked at the scenes before her and no longer felt aggrieved.

One is her biological father, and the other is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. She can tolerate and wait for these people, so what can't she tolerate and wait for?

Thinking of this, he forced a smile on his face, "Well, then I will wait until Xia Er wakes up before coming back."

Hong Que and Dong Xi politely saw the guests off, "Thank you, little aunt, for your consideration of us girls! Take care, little aunt."

Shi Wanzhen turned around and took two steps, then couldn't help but turned her head back, "You girls, you're not targeting me alone, are you?"

This is how I comforted myself.

Dong Xi looked at the others and saw that they had no intention of speaking, so she had to step forward and kneel down to greet them, "We dare not be disrespectful to the young lady. We are the servants in the young lady's courtyard, and we naturally hope that the young lady can eat well, rest well, and take good care of her body. Our young lady has been afraid of the cold since she fell into the water, and she is still weak now."

Shi Wanzhen listened to Dong Xi's sincere words, nodded, and turned away.

As she walked, she felt inexplicably sad.

She thought of the maids and servants in her courtyard at the Marquis of Changshan's mansion. None of them were considerate. That night, when they saw her being beaten, no one came up to help her or carry her.

Look at the girls in Xia'er's courtyard, I don't know how they are trained. They would rather offend others than protect their master. The key is that it's not just one person protecting the master, but a group of people.

Judging from the situation just now, if she really rushed in, these girls would beat her up.

Comparing people to each other is so irritating.

Just as she was feeling sorry for herself, Shi Wanzhen saw Nan Yan coming back from outside.

Nan Yan hurriedly bowed to her and returned to Xia Shiyuan.

Shi Wanzhen became more cautious and sensed that something was wrong, so she tiptoed to eavesdrop.

Nan Yan was talking inside the wall, "The eunuch from the palace came to invite our girl to the palace to see the emperor. He ran into the eldest lady, who said our girl was tired and was taking a rest. The eunuch was really a good person and told us not to disturb her rest."

Someone inside asked, "Where is the father-in-law now?"

Nan Yan replied, "She is sitting in the main hall, waiting, drinking tea and talking with the eldest lady and our lady."

Shi Wanzhen slicked her feet with oil and slipped away. She was completely convinced.

Everyone in the palace would rather wait and let Shi Anxia rest more, so why couldn't she wait?

Shi Wanzhen pinched the things in her sleeve and sighed.

She went to see Shi Anxia today because she received a letter from Old Madam Shi, saying that she was terminally ill and didn't have much time left, and she had been missing her children recently.

Shi Wanzhen read the letter for a long time and understood its meaning, which was that her mother wanted to come back to the Marquis' Mansion to visit.

If she died, she would have to die in the Marquis's mansion. Since she was not divorced, she would definitely be buried in the Shi family's ancestral tomb.

If he wasn't dead, he would probably stay in the mansion to recuperate and wouldn't want to go to that damn Buddhist temple anymore.

The letter also said that such a request would never be made unless it was absolutely necessary and the fuel was running out.

It sounds pretty miserable. An old lady from a marquis's mansion, who had been the mistress of the mansion all her life, was thrown away to live with the green lamp and the ancient Buddha when she was old.

It's just that she hasn't been gone for a few months, and she's already crying and begging to come back. Shi Wanzhen felt that her mother was a little confused, so how could she ask her to come back?

Besides, the current situation is a bit awkward as the Marquis's Mansion has been split up.

He'an Courtyard was renamed Luming Courtyard and became the residence of Shi Chengyi and Yu Sujun.

Even if old lady Shi came back, there were other courtyards where she could live, but her status would be very embarrassing.

The old marquis had been drugged by her, so he definitely didn't like her. Besides, the old marquis himself was not in good health, so he had no time to take care of her.
