Vicious Male Partner is a Girl
Chapter 16: win people's hearts
Mrs. Zheng has already left, and only the old lady and Shen Fengzhang are left in the main hall.
"You've already decided?" The old lady's old voice was serious, without any trace of kindness.
"The grandson has already decided."
Old Mrs. Shen stared at the young man standing in the hall earnestly, and felt that the time had flowed back, as if she had returned to decades ago. Ah Zhang looks very much like her father. Back then, her son stood in this room with such high spirits, and promised her that he would bring the Shen family to a higher place.
Swiping away the memories that came to mind, Mrs. Shen settled down, "If that's the case, let's do as you say. The Shen family is ultimately up to you."
Looking at the back of Shen Fengzhang turning away, Mrs. Shen eased the toughness on her face and sighed in her heart. Mrs. Yu is not willing to take care of things, she tends flowers and weeds every day, except Erniang and her own yard, she doesn't want to take care of anything else. Zheng Shi, who is determined to be strong and wants to take power, has a disagreement with Erlang. She is too old to help Erlang much.
Mrs. Zheng is right in saying that Erlang, as a gentleman, will concentrate on his official career in the future, how can he let her be distracted from housekeeping. Furthermore, the elders in the family are still there, but Erlang is allowed to manage Zhongfu by himself. If anyone finds out, it will not sound good.
Mrs. Shen twirled the Buddhist beads between her fingers, pondered for a moment, and felt that Erlang's marriage should be put on the agenda.
On the other side, Shen Fengzhang returned to Jingxingyuan, and first called Fang Zhi.
Although she told Mrs. Zheng and the old lady that she would take care of the house herself, but if she really wanted to supervise everything in person, she would not be exhausted. so-
"Nominally, I am in charge of Zhongfu, but in reality, you, Fang Zhi, are in charge."
When Fangzhi heard this, she knelt down on the ground immediately, and repeatedly declined, "I can only take care of you, and I can't afford such a heavy responsibility."
Shen Fengzhang got up and helped Fangzhi herself. Her expression was soft and her voice was comforting, "It's okay if you don't have housekeeping experience before. I asked Wan Yu from the old lady. Wan Yu is the old lady's right-hand man. She is smart and capable. You If you don’t know it, you can ask Wan Yu and the old lady for advice.”
Seeing that there was still hesitation on Fangzhi's face, Shen Fengzhang looked serious, "Fangzhi, I entrust this matter to you because I trust you."
Fangzhi heard this, even though she was still a little nervous, she still gritted her teeth and solemnly promised, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"
"Don't be afraid." Shen Fengzhang's expression softened, "You just let go and do it, and I, the county prince, will be behind you." Seeing the touched look on Fang Zhi's face, she smiled again, "I promised you back then, As long as you are loyal to me, I will definitely not treat you badly. Now it is."
Fangzhi's heart was shocked, she lowered her head slightly, and hid her face that lost her composure. The beating that Mr. Xiao Lang didn't long ago resurfaced in her heart, what Mr. Xiao Lang wanted was loyalty.
She was originally a second-class maid in Zheng Niang's courtyard, but by chance, she was sent to take care of Xiao Langjun, and gained Xiao Langjun's trust. Without Mr. Xiao Lang, she might still be just an ordinary maid today, how could she wield such great power. Thinking of this, Fang Zhi made a decision.
"Mr. Lang, I have something to report to Mr. Fang." Fangzhi raised her head, "In the past, I seldom mentioned the situation at home, in fact—" she was interrupted by Shen Fengzhang before she finished speaking.
"If you mean your brother and sister-in-law, don't worry. I have already sent people to take them to Zhuangzi under my name." Shen Fengzhang looked calm.
Even when she heard that she was assigned to be in charge of the Fuzhong, Fang Zhi did not show such emotion. She plopped down on her knees and kowtowed vigorously, her eyes were red with excitement, and her face was radiant, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
From the day she came to Xiao Langjun's side, her brother and sister-in-law have been at Mrs. Zheng's village. For this she—
Recalling the last time she expressed her loyalty to Mr. Xiao Lang, but actually concealed the most important thing, Fang Zhi was too ashamed to look up at Mr. Xiao Lang.
"Forgive me, sir. I didn't intend to deceive you." She just felt that the young man was young and didn't believe that the young man was capable.
Shen Fengzhang interrupted Fangzhi again, there was no harshness in his black eyes like ink blobs, but gentleness and generosity. She bent down to help Fangzhi, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't mention the past again. You came to me when I was five years old. We have been a master and servant for many years. Can't I see whether you are loyal to me? In the past I was negligent and didn't notice the situation in your home. Now, your brother and sister-in-law have settled down in my village, and you can stay by my side with peace of mind. "
Tears welled up in Fangzhi's eyes, and she was so grateful that the husband actually ignored her past suspicions and was so considerate of her! She raised her head and looked directly at Shen Fengzhang, with a firm tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang! From now on, Mr. Lang will be the master of this slave! I will do my best to do good things for Mr. Lang!"
Shen Fengzhang smiled and patted Fang Zhi's hand. Not in vain she ordered Lin Zhong to investigate Fangzhi's family affairs and bring her relatives. Fang Zhi's loyalty in the past was the loyalty of being wise and protecting one's life, but what she wanted was the loyalty of wholeheartedness.
In Jingxing Courtyard, the master and servant love deeply, and the spring is harmonious, but in Jingjiao Courtyard, it is bitter wind and rain, and cold winter.
As soon as Mrs. Zheng entered the room, she got angry a lot, throwing everything she saw. After finally venting his anger, he saw the favorite coral tree that he had smashed, and the anger he had just left came up again.
"That evil animal! An animal!" Without caring about her manners, she sat down on the couch, slapped the tea table hard, and cursed angrily, the hatred for Shen Fengzhang in her heart went deep into her bones.
At this time, only Mrs. Zheng can persuade Zheng Shi. She caressed Zheng Shi's back, comforted Zheng Shi softly like a loving mother, and finally calmed Zheng Shi down. Evil, Mr. Erlang regained his previous temperament, so he would naturally obey his wife.
"At that time, it will be easy to take back the power to head the family."
Zheng's face was solemn, "Let me think about it first." Think about how to make the old lady suspicious.
Before Mrs. Zheng could come up with a surefire solution, a notification came from outside the courtyard—the Second Lady had arrived.
"Hurry up, hurry up, please Second Lady—" before Zheng could finish speaking, she suddenly saw the messy room and hurriedly changed her words, "Please Second Lady to the study."
Shen Xiangpei went to the Yuan Jiulang Concert this time with the belief of avenging shame. She wanted to perform well, but unexpectedly broke the strings halfway. The second brother, who was thought to be dull, surprised people again, and his spirit was outstanding.
Shen Xiangpei felt uncomfortable. Yu's years of teaching prevented her from being jealous of her second brother, so she could only desperately think that she was not doing well enough. Having to suppress jealousy and constantly criticize herself, Shen Xiangpei was smoldering in her heart, feeling more and more painful. She cried to Shi Yu, although Yu Shi comforted her, she also persuaded her to relax, there is no need to be so strong, don't push yourself too hard, the most important thing in life is to be free and easy.
"Auntie, am I wrong? Am I really too aggressive? Am I not supposed to be so aggressive?" Shen Xiangpei lay on Zheng's lap, her eyes were cloudy with tears streaming down her cheeks. Since she was sensible, this was the first time she lost her composure.
"Of course not!" Zheng looked at Shen Xiangpei's red and swollen eye sockets when he raised his face, and his heart ached. She took a deep breath, stroked the top of Shen Xiangpei's head, and said word by word: "Er Niang, you are right. You are right to be strong! You just want to make yourself better than others."
When she was in her boudoir, she also fought for strength everywhere, unwilling to be inferior to others. The most regrettable thing in her life is that she is obviously better than the Yu family, but because she was born as a concubine, she can only marry Shen Yi as a concubine.
The gloom in Shen Xiangpei's heart dissipated a little, but she still sobbed and said, "But this time the second brother is better than me. I—" she paused, "I'm jealous of the second brother." Shen Xiangpei's tears rolled down again, " I feel ashamed that I am actually jealous of my second brother." What made her even more sad was that the object of her jealousy was her second brother, who had always been looked down upon by her, who could only flatter and flatter without any real talent.
Mrs. Zheng patted Shen Xiangpei's shoulder affectionately, and said earnestly, "Jealousy is human nature, you don't need to mind it too much. You—"
A suddenly louder sound outside the house interrupted Zheng's words.
She was a little annoyed, "What's going on? Green Pearl!"
Luzhu came in from the outside, and glanced at the second lady who was hastily wiping her tears.
"It's okay, Second Lady is not an outsider."
Lvzhu gritted her teeth, and reported: "It was Fang Zhi who was next to Mr. Xiao Lang who brought people over to pick up the right cards, and to return, to move the ledgers." Madam Zheng put some ledgers directly in Jingjiao Courtyard for convenience.
"Right card? Ledger?" After being comforted by Zheng Shi, Shen Xiangpei's mood has recovered a lot. At this moment, when he heard a few key words, he immediately noticed a problem.
Lu Zhu lowered her head, "Reporting to Er Niangzi, Mr. Xiao Lang took away the housekeeping right from Mistress today, and said that she will manage it himself."
"Nonsense!" Shen Xiangpei frowned, her face full of displeasure. She left Lu Zhu and Zheng Shi behind, and walked quickly to the courtyard.
Unknowingly, night fell, and lanterns were lit in the courtyard. Under the bright candlelight, Shen Xiangpei saw the maid next to the second brother standing aside directing the servants to move things. She sternly shouted, "Put it all down!"
Jingjiao Courtyard happened to be on the way to Jiangfu Courtyard. Shen Jun, who had just returned from the outside, heard the noise in the Jingjiao courtyard, turned his head to look at the brightly lit courtyard, and asked Li Miao who was leading the way with a lantern, "What happened in the residence?"
