Chapter 178 Dressing up for Mother
Chapter 178 Dressing up for Mother
"Madam, please get up quickly. This is just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."
Shen Yuyao hurriedly helped the woman up and spoke softly.
When the woman stood up, Shen Yuyao suddenly felt that her vision was a little blurry.
She had indeed put in some effort just now, and had also drunk some wine before, so it was inevitable that she was tired all over.
Shen Yuyao managed to stand firmly. She nodded slightly and asked Zi Su to take out some silver and give it to the woman.
Unexpectedly, the woman refused to accept it.
"I have already been unable to repay your great kindness, sir. How dare I take more money from you?" the woman said respectfully to Zi Su.
"This is a kindness from my master Wang... Although the child has been saved, he still looks very weak and will definitely need some time to recuperate." Zi Su stuffed the silver into the woman's hand again.
The woman kept shaking her head, saying that she felt unworthy of it and refused to accept it.
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, walked up to the woman and said, "Look, the child has been rescued and woken up. You insisted on not accepting money. If the child is in danger again, wouldn't the lady be making me unkind and unjust?"
"Yes, just accept it. This is a gift from my young master." Zi Su also persuaded.
Shen Yuyao also said sincerely: "Besides, I have observed that Madam has always been very polite and considerate, so I think she must not be an ordinary family. Madam, please don't refuse anymore, don't let the child down."
From the capital to Yanjing, and then from Yanjing back to the capital.
Along the way, Shen Yuyao witnessed too many sufferings of ordinary people.
She should have developed a heart of stone by now, but the more she saw, the softer her heart became.
He really is someone who cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world.
"Then, sir, can you please leave your name behind? When I find my husband in the capital, I will definitely find you and repay you double!"
The woman then took the silver that Zi Su kept stuffing into her hands. Her eyes turned red and she asked Shen Yuyao with gratitude.
"My master never asks for anything in return when he does good things for us." Zi Su handed the buns she bought from the store to the woman. "Eat these buns quickly. I guess you are starving."
"Madam, this is a common thing. You don't need to worry about it. If you really want to repay me, then when you meet someone in need, if you are able, try to help them. That will be a reward."
After Shen Yuyao finished speaking, she pulled Zi Su and quickly walked out of the crowd.
"Miss, why do you suddenly want to leave in such a hurry?"
Shiso is a little strange.
"I feel like there's something strange in this crowd. Now that the boy has been resurrected, we'd better leave quickly."
Shen Yuyao said in a low voice.
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zi Su, but saw that she was a little hesitant.
Shen Yuyao knew that Zi Su was still concerned about the mother and daughter, so she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Master Tang will take care of the aftermath."
Zi Su nodded, took two steps at a time, and followed closely behind her.
After walking a few steps, Shen Yuyao paused, turned around and looked in the direction of the restaurant, and said softly: "It is true."
As it got darker, the number of pedestrians on the road began to decrease, and occasionally you could see some shops closing.
Tang Wei stayed in the restaurant, and the little guard followed Shen Yuyao and Zi Su not far away.
Shen Yuyao looked at the twinkling lights of thousands of homes in front of her, then turned around to look at the crowds of people behind her.
A cool breeze blew across my face.
How long can such peaceful and comfortable days last?
......
The next day, at the Duke’s Mansion.
Shen Yuyao was tidying up Madam Shen's clothes in the backyard when Ling Xiao, Madam Shen's personal maid, walked in.
"Miss, the servant in the front yard came to report that the reward from the Crown Princess has arrived." Ling Xiao smiled.
Although Madam Shen is now unconscious, the Crown Princess in the palace still misses Madam Shen so much and never forgets to send Madam Shen her favorite cakes every week.
Since the death of the Queen, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has never appointed a new queen.
He turned around and handed over all the power in charge of the harem to the Crown Princess Lu.
Therefore, Crown Princess Lu has now become the real mistress of the harem of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, as Madam Shen's personal maid, Ling Xiao always feels honored.
"The Crown Princess, she sends someone to deliver Madam's favorite cakes every week. She is so thoughtful."
No wonder the whole capital is filled with praises of the virtuous Crown Princess Lu.
Shen Yuyao curled the corners of her lips and raised her eyebrows.
"Is it the same as the one you sent in the past?" she asked casually.
Since it could be sent to the Duke's Mansion, it must have passed the inspection of Xu Yunxuan's "East Factory".
Shen Yuyao thought that today's pastries should be the same as before.
The pastries had been replaced by Xu Yunxuan before they were delivered to the Duke's Mansion.
"Yes, Miss." Ling Xiao replied with a smile: "The style and quantity of the pastries are exactly the same as before, and they are all the ones that Madam likes to eat."
"Well, that's good." Shen Yuyao nodded slightly and continued to tidy up the collar and sleeves for Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen had a bewildered look on her face, and she looked very distant towards Shen Yuyao and Ling Xiao in front of her.
It was as if the two people in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Early this morning, Zi Su was called away by Xia Xiaoxian's sister and brother, and no one knew what she was busy with.
Shen Yuyao personally came to the Zen room in the backyard to help Mrs. Shen with her makeup and clothes.
She did it very slowly and carefully.
Seeing Shen Yuyao working so seriously, Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart.
She bowed to Shen Yuyao and said softly, "Miss, I will go to the front yard to get those cakes and bring them back to Madam while they are still fresh."
"Go."
Before leaving the door, Ling Xiao shook his head and muttered to himself, "The eunuch who delivered the cakes in the past has actually been promoted. Today, a new eunuch has come. I have to take double the red envelope as a return gift."
"Wait!" Shen Yuyao called her, "Ling Xiao, what did you say?"
"Miss, Madam once ordered the palace to send the eunuchs who were rewarded. The mansion always gives a small red envelope in return. If it is the first time for the eunuch to come to the Duke's Mansion, an extra one will be given."
"You mean, the eunuch who came to deliver the reward today is not the same one as before?" Shen Yuyao asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, ever since the Crown Princess sent the cakes as a reward to Madam, it was always the young eunuch Wang Gonggong from the East Palace. But today, a different eunuch came. I don't know him and haven't even asked his last name yet."
Ling Xiao was a little puzzled. Why did the young lady look so gloomy?
"Well, go and bring all the cakes sent from the palace here quickly." Shen Yuyao's face was serious.
Ling Xiao had never seen Shen Yuyao so serious and solemn before, so he did not dare to delay. He responded quickly and went to the front yard.
