Chapter 205 Painting Cake
When Shen Yuemei returned to the Shen family, the only person missing from the crowd welcoming her in the yard was Mu Yuan. Even Xiao Cui, who was nearly seven months pregnant, came with a bulging belly.
Shen Yuemei frowned slightly, and Ni Chang and others were all stunned when they saw a masked man following Shen Yuemei.
"Mom, my daughter is back." Shen Yuemei first bowed to Shen's mother. She knew Shen's mother, so she naturally would not ask such stupid questions as why Mu Yuan didn't come.
Shen's mother's smile was a little forced.
Mu Yuan has been bedridden for two days.
She felt that she was in the wrong in this matter, and of course she was also angry with Shen Yueqiao and neglected it!
The original plan was to let Mu Yuan kneel for two hours and then release him and wait for Shen Yuemei to come back to make his decision. Unexpectedly, when he remembered, a whole night had passed.
When he opened the door again, Mu Yuan had collapsed in front of the tablets. He had a high fever all over his body and was a little confused.
Mu Yuan closed his eyes and muttered to himself. Only when I got closer could I hear clearly that he was calling "wife". He looked extremely miserable.
Shen's mother felt a little guilty. She had been looking after Mu Yuan since he was a child. Although the child was not well brought up, it did not mean that Shen's mother wanted to kill him!
She knew that she was not a good mother-in-law, but she was not bad enough to torture her sons-in-law to death.
In short, I felt that I had done something wrong, and at the same time, I felt a little resentful towards Luo Yu and Bai Zhi.
None of these two people reminded her!
Luo Yu is fine, although he is the biological father, he passed away early due to poor health, but what about Bai Zhi?
He is Mu Yuan’s biological father-in-law!
He didn't even say a word!
When she brought Shen Yuemei back to the front hall and they were the only ones left, Shen Yuemei asked about Mu Yuan.
As the eldest daughter of Shen's mother, Shen Yuemei felt that she knew her mother very well. Shen's mother attached great importance to the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children, and also attached great importance to her own dignity.
In front of others, as long as you are obedient and put her first in everything, everything will be fine; but when it is just her and you, you are just an ordinary mother.
Sure enough, Shen's mother sighed slightly and told Shen Yuemei the whole story.
Shen Yuemei looked worried, but she still comforted her mother: "Mother, Yuan'er did go too far in this matter, so please don't blame yourself."
However, this did not comfort Shen's mother. She urged: "Go back later and see him and show some concern for him."
"Yes, mother." Shen Yuemei agreed readily.
"By the way, Mei'er, why did you come back so late? Did something happen on the way?" Shen's mother thought of the man Shen Yuemei brought back, and felt a little unhappy. She was also wondering why she got home so late, and she was suspicious.
"Mother," thinking of this, Shen Yuemei said what she had prepared long ago: "After my daughter went to Dingzhou, she stayed in the inn to study every day, but unfortunately she contracted a serious illness and was once in danger of death. Fortunately, Yi Qian saved her. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to participate in the imperial examination, she would not even be able to go home to see you."
Although she downplayed it, her eyes were filled with sadness and pain.
"So that's how it is." Shen's mother nodded. She didn't believe it!
After hiding her suspicious look, Shen's mother spoke: "What about this Yi Qian?"
"Mother," Shen Yuemei knelt down and said, "When I went to visit the Yang family with gifts, I saw the yamen runners going to register. It turned out that Yi Qian was about to turn eighteen, but he had no wife and was about to be married off. I was impulsive."
"So you married him?" Shen's mother sighed and watched you continue to make up stories!
"My daughter only accepted him as a noble maid and a commoner. I dare not make the decision on my own." Shen Yuemei lowered her head.
"Forget it, it's your own business, you can decide it yourself." Shen's mother didn't care, she was just a noble servant: "You can talk to Mu Yuan about this matter yourself, but Yuan'er is not in good health now, you should wait and accompany him first."
"Yes, mother." Shen Yuemei knew that Shen's mother would definitely give Mu Yuan some compensation, so she agreed.
"Mei'er, a shop is not worth much, but you have to control the people in the courtyard, otherwise how can you bear the responsibility of a prefecture?"
Shen's mother's last sentence was like a thunderclap, which made Shen Yuemei dizzy.
The responsibility of the whole government? This was the first time Shen's mother said such words to her. Was this a hint?
Seeing that Shen Yuemei had obviously listened, Shen's mother continued, "To be honest, Qiao'er is suffering from Yin decline. It is not certain that the Shen Mansion will be handed over to her in the future! How can a big family be a home without many people? What do you think, right?"
That's it!
Even though Shen Yuemei was very cunning, a hint of excitement could not help but appear in her eyes at this moment.
"Mother, although Yin deficiency is a difficult disease, it can be cured. You must have faith in my third sister."
This is great! Shen Yuemei has already figured out what to do next!
She is so unlucky! Then let her be unlucky forever!
Shen's mother nodded in satisfaction and said, "You guys can eat this pancake!"
