Yes! It's in the Shen family mansion, so it won't be lost, but it doesn't mean that Shen Wenjiao, who is sometimes lazy and finds shortcuts for herself, won't encounter other problems!

There were so many people living in the Shen family, and there were many people coming and going. Shen Wenjiao always met many people every time she went back and forth. Most of them were maids and old women from each room. Generally, Shen Wenjiao didn't need to say hello, but she couldn't avoid people looking at her with a strange look!

This kind of gaze usually has no malicious intent, but it always makes people uncomfortable. Shen Wenjiao has become familiar with the roads, so she started to avoid people and walk on less crowded roads. She gave up on the corridors and other places. Haha, she doesn't take the usual path if she feels something special.

The entire Shen family mansion was a courtyard within a courtyard, and they liked to do some landscaping, including potted plants and many lush trees. Anyway, Shen Wenjiao didn't know what kind of trees they were, so she just looked at them. Of course, sometimes when she passed by, she would not forget to grab a few leaves and branches and shake them for fun.

This was all the fun Shen Wenjiao had left.

If you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts. Bah, I was wrong. It should be that if you walk in corners too much, your luck will always explode and you will encounter trouble.

Shen Wenjiao, who had finished class early that day, was walking along the wall. When she was almost at the courtyard where they lived, she passed by a small firewood shed in the backyard that had long been abandoned and suddenly heard someone inside.

My goodness, Shen Wenjiao's eyes suddenly sparkled. She had long been impatient with her peaceful life. ヾ(??▽?)ノThere are melons to eat~

This is a small wooden house. It is said that a favored concubine lived in the yard here before, and this woodshed was built specifically for her small kitchen. But for some reason, the concubine offended the old man, and the result can be imagined. It is said that when people die, they are skinny, with only a layer of skin hanging on their bodies. When listening to the popular science of Grandma Shen and Shen Wenjiao, they also reminded her to come here less. Therefore, this small wooden house and this yard are rarely visited, and basically everyone is willing to come here.

However, it would be strange if Shen Wenjiao was such an obedient child. After all, it would be much shorter to go directly from here than to go around!

Shen Wenjiao walked over slowly and quietly. She was small and light-footed. She found a place to hide behind a potted plant outside the wooden house. In this way, even if someone in the house suddenly came out, they would not be able to see her as long as they were not paying attention. What's more, Shen Wenjiao was wearing a dark green dress today, which made her even more concealed.

The place Shen Wenjiao found was great. The wooden house was exposed to wind and sun all year round and no one maintained it. There happened to be a small crack at this location, which made it very convenient for Shen Wenjiao to watch the show.

Due to their height, Shen Wenjiao could only see the legs of two adults through this rare gap, but even so, she could tell that one of them was wearing coarse cloth shoes, and his pants were not long enough to show his ankles, so he might be a farmhand. The other one was wearing exquisite embroidered shoes, and her skirt was slightly raised, so she must be a maid in the backyard with good conditions. Why didn't Shen Wenjiao think that the other person was a young lady, a young mistress, or a concubine? This had to do with the prevalence of the foot-binding custom in Datong. Families with slightly better conditions would bind their feet, but this woman had a pair of big feet that must not have been bound, and Shen Wenjiao could see it clearly.

"Brother Wu, I am sorry for you. Please forget me in the future! Let's just consider our engagement invalid! You can always find a better woman in the future." The woman's crying sounded a little fake, and Shen Wenjiao, who was eavesdropping, could hear it.

However, this voice seemed a little familiar! Shen Wenjiao touched her fleshy double chin and thought about it carefully with a detective spirit. Considering that she had not seen many people in the Shen residence in the past few months, she quickly narrowed down the scope.

Shen Wenjiao's eyes lit up immediately. She had just thought that it was a beautiful maid secretly meeting her lover. But it turned out to be even more shocking. It was the young concubine severing her ties of love with a sword and bidding farewell to her ex-fiancé!

Shen Wenjiao now remembered that this woman was Li Ma's daughter, the one who had given Honghua, the shameless concubine to her grandfather. It was no wonder that she didn't recognize her at first. After all, they only spoke a few words to each other once, and she even used a pretentious accent to speak, which made it even harder to distinguish.

However, the other party's rare pair of big feet still left a certain impression on Shen Wenjiao. It was rare for a female master in the Shen family not to have bound feet.

However, this is a bit strange! She has been walking back and forth in the backyard for such a long time these days. Usually, there are few male servants coming into the backyard. How did Wu Ge, the seventh aunt, get in?

"Honghua, you change your attitude so quickly! Is it so good to be the old master's concubine? You know, the old master is already this old. He might pass away at any time. Do you think the old lady will sell you out directly when the time comes?"

Shen Wenjiao couldn't see the man's expression, but judging from the somewhat uncouth tone in his voice, he wasn't a good person either.

"What can I do? The old man has taken a liking to me. Dad and my eldest brother have gambling debts. If they can't pay them back, our whole family will be finished! Actually, it's not bad now. I can save more money while the old man still loves me. What future do I have now? "

The Seventh Concubine spoke in a low voice and no longer pretended to cry and act pitiful. Her days were coming to an end anyway, so she might as well live happily day by day!

Shen Wenjiao couldn't help but nod when she heard this. Indeed, the old man and young wife can get some inheritance and live a good life in the future. The Seventh Aunt is just a concubine, and she was promoted from a maid. Her family is unreliable and she has no children. She really has no idea what will happen in the future.

"Oh, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! If you had married me earlier, maybe we would have had a son by now! The old man is already this old, what else can you expect? If your mother hadn't insisted on you working for two more years to get paid, would we have ended up like this!"

The man spoke with disdain, and it was a bit over the line.

Shen Wenjiao saw that the handkerchief in the seventh aunt's hand was tightly clenched. Oh, this handkerchief is of good quality. It didn't tear even with such great strength. Inside, the situation was tense, while Shen Wenjiao was enjoying herself outside, and she was still thinking about all sorts of things.

"You, Brother Wu. What can I do? They are my parents~" At this time, the voice of the Seventh Aunt's crying was very real. After all, she was really sad. Her parents dragged her to not get married just for her wages. This time, she became the old man's aunt by mistake. Her mother did feel sorry for her for a few days at first, but when she saw her taking back the old man's reward, her attitude immediately changed.

The family now only regrets that the old master didn't take a fancy to her earlier, so they didn't get many rewards and didn't consider her future at all? Fortunately, the seventh concubine was not completely stupid, and she still saved a lot of private money.
