Chapter 248 Shen Lan is a pleasing person
Shen Lan was looking at the row of silk nightgowns with embarrassment, her mind full of the absurdity of last night.
In the future, these exquisite and beautiful nightgowns will probably become a pile of rags in Xiao Yun's hands, just like the one last night.
Just as she was blushing from thinking about it, she suddenly heard the old lady's words and quickly waved her hand.
"Madam, these things are too valuable. I won't accept them without merit."
Old Madam Xiao had a good impression of Shen Lan. She was the only girl her grandson liked and cared about in recent years. She had a clean family background and good character, and she could also relieve the pain that had tormented A'an for so many years.
He is such a blessing, no matter how much you give him, it is never too much.
"These things are nothing to the Xiao family. Miss Shen, feel free to take them. Don't be polite."
The old lady had a kind face and a gentle tone: "When Yueyue was at the Xiao family, she also had one every month, so you can take it with peace of mind."
She said this to relieve Shen Lan's psychological burden and let her not feel stressed.
Butler Zhao was shocked when he heard this. He liked to think a lot and always felt that the old lady was hinting at something.
Seeing the old lady looking at him, Butler Zhao quickly said, "Yes, Yueyue also received one every month while she was living in the Xiao family."
As he spoke, he glanced at the pile of clothes inconspicuously.
If Yueyue still lived in the Xiao family, some of these things must have belonged to her. But today, neither the young master nor the old lady thought of her.
Butler Zhao doesn't care about these things. What he cares more about is the attitude of the two people towards Yueyue.
His face looked a little ugly, and suddenly his eyes saw the row of silk nightgowns, and his brows frowned even more tightly.
Like the old lady, Butler Zhao also realized that these things were given to Shen Lan by the young master.
These clothes and jewelry are fine, but this nightgown...
When a man gives a woman such a personal and intimate item, the relationship between them is obvious.
Butler Zhao didn't look very good.
"Since grandma said so, you should accept it and don't refuse."
As Xiao Yun spoke, he winked at Shen Lan subtly.
This little girl is usually very greedy for money in front of him, but why is she so polite when her grandmother offers her something, and acts like she is indifferent to fame and fortune.
It seems that he is just bullying him because of the difference he makes among people.
Shen Lan glared at him secretly. It would be enough to send pajamas to her room privately, but why did he have to make such a big fuss and have someone deliver them to her door? Was he afraid that people would not know about their relationship?
Butler Zhao saw the two men's exchange of glances, and his heart sank as he quickly looked towards the old lady. He found her watching their interaction with great interest, her face beaming with joy.
Butler Zhao was slightly startled.
The old lady actually knew about the affair between the young master and Shen Lan. Not only did she not stop it, but she was happy to see it happen and was very satisfied with Shen Lan.
Why? If the news of him getting involved with Shen Lan, a woman who was already engaged, got out, it would be bad for the reputation of both the young master and the Xiao family.
Butler Zhao narrowed his eyes. The young master was bewitched by a woman, and the old lady seemed to be bewitched.
This Shen Lan knows how to please people, we can't let him go on like this.
Old Madam Xiao asked the servant to bring the things upstairs. She was so enthusiastic that Shen Lan had no choice but to accept them obediently.
In the evening, Butler Zhao returned home, looking very worried.
Zhao Yue asked a few more questions and learned about the clothes from him. She was angry and anxious: "Shen Nian is fine. She has that beautiful appearance. I can understand that Brother Yun likes her. But what about this Shen Lan? She is ugly, boring, and dirty. What is there about her that is worthy of Brother Yun's love?"
"Just because of her lousy cooking skills? This is ridiculous!"
Housekeeper Zhao listened to his daughter's angry curses, poured some water and drank the medicine, and said softly: "Not relying on looks, figures, or flattery, but winning the favor of the young master and the old lady, this just proves that Shen Lan has the ability and means, and is a greater threat than that Shen Nian."
Zhao Yue frowned and thought. Although she was reluctant to admit it, what her father said was indeed right.
"What should I do then? Dad..."
Butler Zhao sighed and patted her shoulder: "We really can't let this go on. I'll make some arrangements in the next few days to get Shen Lan out of the Xiao family as soon as possible. You stay home and wait for news. Don't do anything you shouldn't do."
Zhao Yue nodded obediently, glanced at the small medicine bottle in his hand, and asked curiously: "Dad, what medicine are you taking? Are you feeling unwell?"
Butler Zhao's body stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head: "No, just vitamins."
