Chapter 5 The Cripple

Shen Yu smiled and said, "Besides, I can see from your appearance that you are a kind and amiable mother-in-law. I will definitely get along well with you after I marry you. We can also go shopping together often."

Shopping?

When Mrs. Jiang heard this word, she had a picture of her pulling a lame man out of the house, and people around her pointed fingers at her. How could she hold her head up among the ladies in the future?

No, no, this marriage must not be possible.

Mrs. Jiang raised her hand and stroked her forehead, frowning and said, "It's windy outside today. I'm afraid it's the wind. Why does my head suddenly hurt?"

The maid behind her understood and was about to step forward.

"I'll do it," Shen Yu lifted her sleeves, "Madam, don't look at my lame leg, but I'm good at massage. I cured Benxiao's headache."

"Who is Benxiao?" Mrs. Jiang asked casually.

Shen Zhao put his fist under his nose and coughed twice, then tried to suppress his smile and continued, "Benxiao is my sister's favorite horse."

Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows twitched, and she was almost angry to death, actually comparing horses with her.

Shen Zhongan looked at her for a while, fearing that Shen Yu would continue to make trouble, and asked tentatively: "Then is this marriage going to be settled?"

"No hurry, no hurry," Mrs. Jiang hurriedly replied, one of her arms was pulled by Shen Yu and couldn't be pulled away, and she was pulled so hard that it hurt.

"I haven't mentioned this matter to my master yet. I just came here to let him know today. I still have to discuss it with him first."

Mrs. Jiang found a lot of excuses again, and used all her signature skills of talking nonsense. She was so dry that she finally saw Shen Zhongan nodded, and hurriedly took the maid away.

"Madam, don't be in a hurry to leave. I haven't performed my talent yet. I'm good at carrying a big jar."

Madam Jiang walked hurriedly and said, "No need, stay."

Looking back, she saw Shen Yu limping and chasing behind her. I really don't know how she can run so fast with a limp.

Madam Jiang was afraid that she would be caught by her, so she walked faster and faster, not even caring about her manners. When she passed a threshold, she tripped and fell to the ground. The maids beside her helped her up on the left and right and almost carried Madam Jiang to run away.

After finally leaving the gate of the general's mansion, Madam Jiang felt that she had lost half her life.

Watching people walk away, Shen Yu gradually stopped smiling.

In the last life, my father and brother went to war on the tenth day of September, which was only a few days away. In this life, I must stop them no matter what and not let them go to the border again.

It's these few days, I have to think of a way.

Shen Yu was thinking as she walked back. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Shen Zhongan slam the table, and the teacups on the table jumped.

"What a joke!"

If it was in her previous life, Shen Yu would have been scared to death by such a scene, but she missed her father who was furious after living a new life.

Shen Zhongan pointed at her and cursed: "Do you know that if she spreads the news of her lameness, who will dare to come to propose marriage in the future? I think you should not get married in the future and just be an old lady."

"It's best not to get married." Shen Yu whispered: "I just want to be an old girl by my father's side."

People who practice martial arts have good hearing, and this sentence did not escape Shen Zhongan's ears.

This made Shen Zhongan unable to curse, so he looked around and picked up something and pretended to hit her.

Shen Yu quickly hid behind Shen Zhao, poked her head out and said, "Brother, Dad wants to beat me."

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "I advise you to admit your mistake quickly."

"Dad, I was wrong."

Shen Zhongan was suddenly hugged by someone, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

Shen Yu hugged Shen Zhongan, and felt that it was great to still hear her father scolding her and to still see her brother.

Since Shen Yu was twelve years old, she has not been close to him. Now that she suddenly did this, Shen Zhongan felt his heart softened, sighed deeply and said:

"Don't do this again in the future."

Shen Yu nodded vigorously, raised her eyelids and saw her brother Shen Zhao next to her, let go of her father and went forward to hug her brother's arm.

Shen Zhao lowered his eyebrows, touched her head, and joked: "Where did you learn this trick? It makes you invincible."

Shen Yu raised her head and blinked, saying: "I learned it by myself."

The main hall and the side hall are separated by black lacquered sunflower pattern partitions, and there are bead curtains on the porch.

Mrs. Shen looked at everything in the hall from beginning to end, left with a stern face, and said when she walked to the corridor: "See, we are outsiders, and they are a proper family of three."

Shen Zhongan's original wife was the legitimate daughter of the Hezhou merchant Lu family. Although she was a merchant, she was not comparable to ordinary merchants. Lu's merchants were all over Da Zhou.

And she was Shen Zhongan's second wife. Shen Zhongan's original wife died early. In order to win him over, Cheng'an Hou married a distant cousin of Cheng'an Hou's wife to Shen Zhongan, who is now Mrs. Shen.

Although Shen Zhongan treated her with respect, the couple who got married later in life could not have the affection of supporting each other all the way, so they could only make do with each other.

They could not see each other for a year or two, but it was inevitable that she would feel resentful as she was the general's wife.

Shen Yan followed her with her head down without saying a word.

Madam Shen looked back and said indifferently: "You should at least show your face in front of your father, otherwise Shen Zhongan might have forgotten that there is a daughter in this family."

Shen Yan bit her lower lip and said: "Father didn't forget, and he said a lot to me yesterday."

Madam Shen sneered: "Didn't you see how Shen Yu looked in front of your father? You were so timid in front of your father. How can you compete with Shen Yu like this?"

Mrs. Shen's words upset Shen Yan, and she rarely spoke out to refute, "I don't argue with my sister. My sister treats me well, and she always gives me the good things."

"She gives you the good things?" Mrs. Shen waved her hand to let the servants back off, "Of course she gives you the things she doesn't want. When did Hezhou send something over? She picked it first? She gave it to you after she picked the leftovers?"

"That's my sister's grandmother, not mine. I didn't have a share of the things she sent."

Mrs. Shen was furious. If she hadn't been holding the airs of a general's wife, she would have pointed at Shen Yan's nose and scolded her. Seeing that there were still many servants in the yard, she had to throw her sleeves and leave.

"Miss, shall we go back?" asked the maid.

Shen Yan stood there for a moment, looking in the direction of the main hall, with a little sadness in her eyes, "Let's go back."
