The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 248 I Don’t Want to Be Called Blind

After Shi Yao finished speaking, she first glanced at Aunt Liu Hua who had followed her.

Aunt Liu Hua looked up at the sky in silence.

See what she does?

The second girl herself didn't dare to say how appropriate her words were. How could a girl suspect her father of stealing his wife's dowry to compensate her?

Apart from the kind tone, every sentence was a satire on the Third Master and the Third Mistress.

Among all the young ladies she had ever met in the world, only Shi Yao was as bold as her. She seemed to abide by the rules and be reasonable in everything, but in fact she disregarded the ethics and etiquette.

Besides, Shi Yao mentioned yesterday that she would not return all the banknotes to the third wife.

She wanted to see how Shi Yao took away some of it.

Rong lowered her head and glanced at the banknotes, sitting as steady as a mountain, and smiled slightly, saying, "The second young lady has become more and more outgoing. She used to call me Master, but now she calls me Third Master. I think Master didn't explain himself clearly yesterday, so you misunderstood.

This banknote was indeed given to you by me at the Third Master's request. It was not for any other reason but because you were wronged on the birthday of the old master.

Your fourth sister-in-law has a miscarriage and can't get up. She is the daughter-in-law of our third room, so I have to help compensate you a little.

I asked your master to go to Guanju Courtyard only because I hoped that you two could spend more time together and make up for the father-daughter affection that was missing in the past fifteen years.

Well, unexpectedly, your master failed to appreciate my good intentions, and ended up making things worse, making you feel upset.

Come sit down, don't stand. Fusuiyuan is the courtyard of your father and me, and it is also your home. You are welcome."

After saying this, Rong ordered the maids to serve tea and fruit.

Shi Yao thought to herself, Rong was really a character. Her words were so soft, avoiding the important issues and having reasons and evidence. If she made a scene, she would be being unreasonable.

A few days ago, Rong's attitude was not like this.

Shi Yao didn't believe that she suddenly had a change of heart, so she must have thought it through and really wanted to exchange her for a large price to pave the way for the sixth and seventh sons of the third room.

It's a good calculation!

She took two steps forward and sat on the empty seat above, with a coffee table between her and Rong. Suddenly, she smelled a faint scent of medicine. She looked around and saw two rows of screens on both sides of the chair.

The smell of medicine came from behind the screen.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold.

There is someone behind the screen!

It was either Shi Jianan who fell into the water yesterday and might be injured, or it was the eunuch Shi Mingkui who needed to apply medicine.

The latter is more likely.

The scumbag father Shi Jianan is not a man who can keep his temper.

Shi Yao took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said aggrievedly: "It turns out that it was because Fourth Sister-in-law plotted against me to clear my name, and I wanted to apologize and make amends.

Then I will take half of the money to calm my nerves. These past few nights I have been unable to sleep well and need the maids to make me a soothing soup before I can fall asleep.

Even so, I still have nightmares, dreaming about the day when my fourth sister-in-law went crazy and wanted to destroy me. I often wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep after waking up. Madam, take a look at me, am I much more haggard?"

Rong closed her eyes slightly, not looking at Shi Yao's face that was deliberately moving closer to her. After a slight pause, she pushed the box containing the banknotes in front of Shi Yao.

"Second Miss, you can take it all. This is the wish of the Third House. However, as a girl, you should not talk about calculating innocence. If people outside hear it, they will think that the girl has no shame."

Shi Yao took half of it readily and handed it to Aunt Liu Hua behind her, smiling brightly: "I only take the money I deserve for the shock, and the rest, Madam, keep it.

My wife just said, I am at home, talking at home, how could it be spread out?

My wife is a family member, and as a girl, I have nothing to be embarrassed about. They have done what they did, and they don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed, so what do I have to be ashamed of?

That day, for the sake of my future nephew, I showed some mercy. Otherwise, given my usual temper, I would have bullied others in the same way they bullied me.

I poured the remaining tea into my fourth sister-in-law's mouth! My fourth sister-in-law doesn't care about my reputation and innocence, so why should I care about hers? She is not my wife, and the child she is pregnant with is not my child.

At least I saved my fourth brother's second child. My wife asked me if I was too lenient or soft-hearted.

Not only was he merciful with his hands, he was also merciful with his words.

That child is the last child of fourth brother Shi Mingkui.

Rong glanced at the screen, her heart aching, but she could only smile: "Second Miss has always been kind and sensible. Giving others a way out is also leaving a way out for yourself.

The girl is straightforward, so I didn't beat around the bush and said it directly. As the saying goes, more enemies are worse than more friends. Fighting against each other will only hurt both sides. It is better to turn hostility into friendship, which is better for everyone. "

Shi Yao smiled and asked, "Madam, what do you mean by that?"

Rong didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Now that the Shi family has lost the emperor's favor, you will definitely not be able to find a good marriage in the capital. It's better to look outside the capital.

There are also many powerful and aristocratic families in the local area. With the power of the Duke's Mansion, it is enough to find a very good marriage for you, and you will live a life of luxury and wealth without worries.

Don't worry, you are the daughter of our third house, I will definitely not cheat you, the capital and the outside world are all watching the Shi family, the Shi family can't stand any more rumors. "

Rong picked up the teacup, sipped the tea slowly, and waited for Shi Yao to think clearly.

Shi Yao did not think for long, and smiled and said: "In the past, when I lived in the old house in Jinling, I had no worries about food and clothing. What I thought was that I would be satisfied if I could find a family that was just a little rich and not worried about making a living. Now, I still think so, and I don't want to be rich and powerful."

Rong was slightly surprised and shook her head. "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I don't believe that you are willing to go back to the poor life in the old house in Jinling. You have not returned to the old house in Jinling. If you go back for a few days, you will definitely not say such things again.

Don't you really envy your elder sister's days in the Duke's Mansion, where she was the center of attention? Your elder sister's life has come to an end, and now, you are the only daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

Someday, I will suggest to the old master and the old lady that you be registered under my name as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and your name will also be recorded in the family tree and changed to Shi Mingyao."

Shi Yaoru was frightened and waved her hands quickly: "I don't want to change my name, and I don't want to be a legitimate daughter. I just want to be my mother's daughter!"

Rong explained: "I don't mean to snatch you from your aunt, it's just a good name to discuss marriage.

When you have the title of legitimate daughter, everyone in the Shi family will look at you differently. Not to mention spoiling you as much as they do Zhuzhu, at least your brothers will no longer target you or hate you, thinking that you have stolen Zhuzhu's favor."

Shi Yao chuckled, "Let's not talk about other things. Just talking about changing my name, I don't want to. Madam, didn't you notice that my brother and sister's names, Shi Ming and something, sound like 'blind'? Blind means blind. I don't want to be called Blind Yao."

Rong: “…”

Liu Hua: "..."

Shi Mingkui behind the screen: “…” After calling out this name for more than twenty years, he suddenly went blind.
