Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 119 Shen Tang

Besides, Shen Qingyu asked the maids to help Bai Ying to rest on the pretext that Bai Ying was not feeling well. Naturally, the maids would not doubt it. They would only think that the Second Miss cared about the Madam and helped the Madam take care of the Eldest Young Master as soon as she came back from the villa in Yuntaishan, even before she had recovered. The Madam was blessed to have such a filial daughter like the Second Miss.

"Madam, you haven't slept for several days. Go back and have a rest. Now that the Second Miss is here, the Young Master will be fine."

Bai Ying was so angry at Shen Qingyu that she was half dead. The days of hard work left her with no strength at all. She could not do anything except glaring at Shen Qingyu. She was supported by the maids and walked out of the room.

"Hong'er."

Shen Qingyu walked quickly to the bed and held Shen Youhong's skinny little hand.

"Sister...you...are back. I want to...go to the mountain with you..."

There was anticipation in Shen Youhong's eyes, but he was speaking incoherently. He was very weak and could hardly speak. If others heard him, they would be confused, but Shen Qingyu understood.

Shen Qingyu gently picked him up, smiling gently, hiding her sadness, "Sister promises you that I will bring Hong'er with me next time."

Because of his weak health, Shen Youhong had never left the house. When he saw Shen Qingyu went to the villa in Yuntaishan, he wanted to follow her. Now that he saw Shen Qingyu coming back, he happily held Shen Qingyu's hand.

Honger, I know that you have been holding on until now because you must be waiting for me, right?

I know you are very tired, but for my sake, can you please hold on a few more days?

Her clear eyes were filled with tears and she was weeping silently.

Shen Youhong's small hand was still in her palm, but his breath was so weak, so weak that Shen Qingyu could hardly feel whether he was still alive.

Shen Qingyu hugged Shen Youhong and burst into tears.

"Second Miss, the eldest young master..." Xiangyun sobbed and burst into tears. The eldest young master was only ten years old. How could God be so unfair to him?

Shen Qingyu put Shen Youhong on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

"Xiangyun, now is not the time for us to cry. If it were Hong'er..."

Shen Qingyu stroked Shen Youhong's little face, but Jiang Yun's figure appeared in her mind. They had exactly the same face, but two different destinies.

"We have nowhere to go." Shen Qingyu was terrifyingly calm at this moment. She stood up, took two steps, and frowned as if she had thought of something, "Xiangyun, have you noticed that there is someone missing from my mother's side?"

One person missing?

Xiangyun thought about it and suddenly realized, "I was a little confused at first. Madam is always served by Aunt Chen, but just now, Aunt Chen was not with Madam."

Aunt Chen is Bai Ying's maid who came with her as a dowry, and also Bai Ying's confidant. Now that such a big thing has happened and Bai Ying has already performed a ritual on Shen Youhong in the yard, how could Aunt Chen not be by Bai Ying's side?

Everyone in the Shen family knows that wherever the lady is, Aunt Chen must be there. But now, where has Aunt Chen, who is so loyal to Bai Ying, gone?

"Second Miss, don't worry, I will ask someone right away."

Just as Xiangyun turned around, she saw Aunt Xu coming towards her, wearing a silk skirt embroidered with white plum branches and with inlaid flower beads on her hair.

"I pay my respects to the Second Miss."

Aunt Xu bowed respectfully to Shen Qingyu and continued, "I just came to see the young master."

Aunt Xu wiped her tears as she spoke, "Young Master is so seriously ill, it worries me to see you like this."

"Mrs. Xu is thoughtful."

Although Shen Youhong is Shen Chuanhe's legitimate son, Shen Chuanhe has only seen him a few times. Perhaps he thinks that the child will not live long, and it would be useless to see him. Anyway, his favorite concubine Liu is pregnant again. If he loses one child, he can have another. For Shen Chuanhe, it is not a big loss.

Shen Qingyu felt relieved when she saw Aunt Xu coming to see Shen Youhong. Of course, she knew in her heart that Aunt Xu's purpose of coming was not just to see Shen Youhong.

Aunt Xu looked strange and kept silent to Shen Qingyu. Then, through the layers of beaded curtains, she glanced at the maids she brought with her standing outside the door. She turned back and lowered her voice to report to Shen Qingyu, "The second young lady just returned home, so she may not know that the master has ordered everyone in the mansion not to mention Aunt Chen anymore."

"Aunt Chen is dead."

"died?"

Shen Qingyu's eyes changed slightly. She couldn't remember exactly when the person around Bai Ying died, but Aunt Chen's death was too sudden and she was not prepared at all.

"That's what the master said to the public. Family disgrace should not be made public." Aunt Xu sighed, "Apart from Aunt Chen's ostentatious words that offend people, there's nothing wrong with her. Maybe she said something she shouldn't have said, and others got jealous and falsely accused her of having an affair. The master didn't believe it at first, but he asked a doctor to take her pulse and found out that Aunt Chen was two months pregnant. But the master didn't touch her in these two months, so how could she be pregnant? The master was so angry that he drowned her in a pond. Aunt Chen never revealed who the adulterer was until her death."

When Aunt Xu thought of the day when the master tied Aunt Chen, a living person, to stones and drowned her in a pond, she could not help feeling afraid and her voice began to tremble.

It is said that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. When the master gets really cruel, he will not recognize his relatives and will not care about any feelings. Aunt Xu can relate to this. A few months ago, she cried and begged the master to forgive her, but he just waved his sleeves and ignored her.

If the Second Miss had not secretly stopped the Madam and saved her life, she would probably have become a wandering ghost and would never see her biological daughter again. She didn't dare to think about it. If the Master knew one day that she had an illegitimate daughter outside, wouldn't she end up like Aunt Chen?

The more Shen Qingyu listened to the news that Aunt Chen had an affair with someone and was pregnant, the more ridiculous it seemed to her. Her father, Shen Chuanhe, actually believed such a trumped-up accusation with so many loopholes. Men in this world have three wives and four concubines and spend their time with other women, but they will not allow a woman's reputation to be ruined. They would convict someone without any proof and would rather kill the wrong person than let the guilty go.

Perhaps, he felt that she was just a concubine and he was tired of playing with her, so her life or death was no longer important.

"Where is my mother? Where was she at that time?"

Aunt Chen is not an ordinary concubine. She was Bai Ying's dowry and grew up with Bai Ying. The relationship between Aunt Chen and Bai Ying is no less than that of ordinary sisters. When Shen Chuanhe wanted to kill Aunt Chen, there was no reason why Bai Ying would remain indifferent and not even say a word of pleading.
