Nanny Zhang was at a loss for words. She wondered if Shen Shuyi knew she was anxious and was deliberately making things difficult for her!

But unfortunately, she had to coax the person back as soon as possible and could not afford to waste time, so she had to admit defeat.

Nanny Zhang was filled with anger, but she had no choice but to sit back obediently.

Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips and said softly, "Today's Jade Dew Soup is good."

Nanny Zhang and Hongying felt dry-mouthed, thirsty and tired just from listening to this.

But Shen Shuyi clearly wanted to torture them, so how could he give them a sip of water to drink?

Nanny Zhang wanted to pretend to faint, but she couldn't. After all, the Madam was in a hurry now, and if she missed the opportunity, she would be in trouble.

Hongying didn't dare to do so. After all, she was counting on Nanny Zhang to plan the matter between her and Zhiyuan after she returned home. Even though she was full of complaints now, she didn't dare to be clever at this time.

It was not until the hour of Xu that Shen Shuyi felt a little tired after reading. The moon was bright outside the window and the stars were sparse. In the cold courtyard, Nanny Zhang and Hongying were still washing clothes.

Their arms were so swollen that they could hardly lift them. Even though Hongying had endured it for a whole day, she couldn't help but complain now.

"Aunt, why did you get so many clothes for Yuping to wash? Now that Yuping hasn't washed them, we are torturing ourselves."

When Hongying said this, there was a tone of tears in her voice.

Aunt Zhang was even more furious and cursed: "If it wasn't to vent your anger, would I do this? You are stupid and you blame me!"

Hongying was so aggrieved that she didn't say a word. She was hungry and tired and wanted to die.

Shen Shuyi put down the book, stood up and walked to the door to look at the two for a while, then looked at the washed clothes, and said with a smile: "Mammy and Hongying are really capable. They have packed the clothes in just one day."

Aunt Zhang could only force a smile and said, "As long as the young lady and the mistress can be reunited soon, I am willing to work harder."

Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Madam's painstaking efforts are truly evident to all."

Nanny Zhang smiled awkwardly. Her hair had fallen a lot and her waist was sore. It seemed like she had aged a lot in just one day.

Shen Shuyi spent some time with them, thinking about his plans after returning home. Until the moon rose above the willows and he saw that the two of them had only a few clothes left, he turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

Yu Ping was on the couch keeping watch. As soon as the door and window were closed, she could not help but whisper, "Madam Zhang is really shooting herself in the foot. I am so ashamed to see her."

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold, and she said in a cold voice: "This is just the beginning. I will get back all the debts I owed in the past few days!"

The next day, after Shen Shuyi had breakfast, Nanny Zhang and Hongying arrived late.

It’s not that they don’t want to get up early, but they are so tired from yesterday that they feel sore and painful all over and can’t get up at all.

"Miss, I have checked all the clothes. They are all hung out to dry. I have just packed them up with my men. We should return home today."

When Nanny Zhang said this, there was some joy on her face.

Shen Shuyi said gently, "There's no need to pack them. Nanny also said yesterday that these clothes don't fit anyway. It's better to give them as a reward to the servants."

Hearing this, Nanny Zhang almost couldn't breathe.

It turned out that she worked so hard to wash clothes all day, but in the end, the clothes were given to the maids!

She forced a smile and said, "Young lady, you are very thoughtful. I will give the order right away."

After saying this, Aunt Zhang thought Shen Shuyi would be satisfied this time, but who would have thought that Shen Shuyi would hold his head with his jade hands and lean back on the couch like a boneless person.

"Mammy, you know that I just recovered from a serious illness a few days ago. I have been eating too light a diet these days, and now I really don't have any strength."

"After you return home, Miss, the cook in the mansion will take good care of you. You can rest assured." Nanny Zhang suppressed her anger and said again.

Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice: "It's not appropriate. I've been traveling so long. If I get seriously ill before I get to the mansion, won't mother still have to send me back to the Jade Buddha Temple?"

"Miss, you are really worrying too much! Madam would never do that!" Nanny Zhang was completely anxious.

Shen Shuyi looked at her coldly and said, "Mother has always cared about me and always put my health first. If I were seriously ill, it would be reasonable for mother to do this. Why is Madam so sure?"

Nanny Zhang's breathing was unstable, and she was holding her breath in her chest, and her face turned a little green.

These days she only knew that Shen Shuyi was indeed difficult to deal with, but at this moment, she realized that she was so sharp-tongued!

"Forget it. I'll stay in the temple for a while longer to recuperate. Then my father and mother will be happy to see me."

After saying that, Shen Shuyi no longer paid attention to Nanny Zhang's reaction and took Yuping to stroll in the woods.

Quanzhong saw this scene and couldn't help but feel anxious: "Mammy, what should we do?"

Aunt Zhang's face turned pale: "Wait one more day, and first give her good food and drink to coax her."

If it really doesn't work, she can only use the trick she had used to deal with Yuping before. When she returns to the Shen Mansion, as long as she denies it, Shen Shuyi won't be able to do anything.

Near noon, Shen Shuyi brought Yuping back with a basket of wild fruits.

They usually just pick the fruits off the ground, so the harvest isn't much.

Seeing Nanny Zhang diligently serving lunch, Shen Shuyi said calmly: "I really don't have much appetite today. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Nanny to pick some wild fruits for me. Yuping's cooking skills are very good. Making them into sauce will whet your appetite."

Aunt Zhang's old face was almost unable to smile, so she could only patiently agree: "I will go right away, Miss, don't worry."

Shen Shuyi said, "Other people are clumsy and can easily damage the fruit. I'm afraid you'll have to trouble Madam to do it yourself."

"Don't worry, I am loyal to you. I will go through fire and water, and even if I give my life to you, I will never regret it!"

Nanny Zhang took Hongying and a few servants away, thinking they were just going to pick up some fruits, but when they arrived they found that there was not a single fruit on the ground.

In order to fill the two bamboo baskets given by Shen Shuyi, he had to climb up the tree to pick the fruits.

Unfortunately, the fruit trees in the Jade Buddha Temple were decades old, very tall and big. Not to mention Madam Zhang, even the few servants she brought with her only managed to climb up two of them after great effort.

Hongying was so angry that her eyes turned red: "Aunt, do we really have to be tormented by the Second Miss like this! I haven't even got the money back yet, and now I have to be bullied by her like this!"

Aunt Zhang looked gloomy and whispered, "Did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy a few days ago?"

Hongying nodded: "I bought it."

"Add it to their dinner tonight. Once she falls asleep, have someone carry her to the car. When we get to the mansion, if she makes a fuss again, Madam will take action to deal with her!"

Hongying finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Nanny Zhang said. However, when she thought about returning home, she couldn't help but worry about her and Zhiyuan.
