Chapter 283 Refuse to Help
"Really." Song Qingci always had extraordinary patience towards Shan Xi.
This even surprised herself.
Looking at Shan Xi's innocent face, Song Qingci sometimes wondered if she was born in a normal family and had not experienced those unbearable things in the orphanage, would she be the same as Shan Xi now.
Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. Everything has already happened. Even if she has traveled through time and space and become Song Qingci, she is still herself.
"Sister-in-law, you are still the best to me!" Shan Xi smiled happily and sincerely.
At this time, Yin Xing brought up two bowls of smoothies, one for Shan Xi and one for his own young lady.
Smoothie is a new food that Chixiaoyuan has recently created.
There aren't many fruits in summer, and they are not easy to store and spoil. The taste is also very ordinary. But how come the fruit in this smoothie is so sweet?
"Sister-in-law, this is so delicious, so icy and sweet! I can eat three bowls at once!"
"This has syrup in it, so it's naturally sweet! However, you can only eat one bowl every three days, so don't even think about eating three bowls a day."
Song Qingci himself couldn't even eat three bowls of rice a day.
She herself had a very good physical condition.
But the original owner's physical foundation is really average. These days, she has tried every way to exercise and recover. There is still some effect, but she still needs to pay more attention.
Take your time. The original owner had taken care of her body for more than ten years, so she tried to recover within a year.
"By the way, sister-in-law." When the bowl of smoothie was almost empty, Shan Xi thought of Xiao Yuer and asked, "Who is Xiao Yuer learning from recently? I just met him and asked him, and he said it was an old friend? What old friend?"
Shan Xi was purely curious, and also wanted to stay in Chixiao Court for a little longer so that he wouldn't be nagged by his own mother when he returned.
"Oh, it's a friend of your eldest brother. He has been staying in our house recently because of some things." Song Qingci thought about it for a while and thought that the big friend Xiao Yuer was talking about should be Shen Mozhu.
This was the statement Song Qingci and Shan Li had agreed upon.
Shen Mozhu is such a grown-up person living in the mansion. Others might not know about it for one or two days, but after such a long time, unless someone is really blind, how could he not know?
Whenever someone asks, just say he is Shan Li's friend.
This is the only way to say it in this era. If you say he is Song Qingci’s friend, that would be a big deal.
Shen Mozhu met Xiao Yuer when he lived in the mansion before. Maybe he felt bored, so he started chatting with this little brat.
Xiao Yuer liked him very much at that time and visited him almost every day.
Song Qingci had once encountered this big and small couple together. She casually said at the time that if Shen Mozhu was free, he could give Xiao Yuer some enlightenment.
The top student is here, so we must make full use of him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mozhu really took it to heart.
Except for the first few days after the operation when he couldn't get up, he basically gave Xiaoyuer lessons every day, whether before or after.
Ever since Li went to work at the Moon Viewing Tower, she indeed had less time to spend with Xiao Yuer.
Xiao Yu'er now has only a maid who takes care of his daily life, and the guard who protected them mother and son before is still by his side. There is no one else.
It was obvious that Song Qingci liked Xiaoyuer. Li was helping with things at the Moon Viewing Tower again.
So no one had any objection to Xiao Yu'er living in the general's mansion. Even if there was, they had to keep it to themselves.
Such a big general's mansion would not treat a child harshly.
Even Shan Li didn't say anything.
He has complicated feelings towards Ma Yuan, and the same is true for Xiao Yuer.
"Brother's friend?" Shan Xi suddenly thought of someone. "Is it the friend wearing a mask?"
Song Qingci was stunned and looked at Shan Xi, "Have you seen him?"
Logically speaking, these two people should have never met each other!
"Yes." Shan Xi admitted generously and told him how she met him.
"I didn't expect that you two would actually meet before." Song Qingci was a little surprised.
"Sister-in-law, did he come to you for treatment because of the wound on his face?" Shan Xi asked what was in his mind.
The little girl is quite perceptive!
Song Qingci nodded, "I guess so. He did come here to treat his injuries."
"Can his face be cured?" Shan Xi always felt that this person gave people a very clean and comfortable feeling. It would be a pity if a person with such temperament had his face ruined.
"Of course!" Song Qingci nodded.
Shan Xi admired her, "Sister-in-law! You are really amazing!"
"Okay, don't ask about his affairs." Shen Mozhu will have nothing to do with her anyway. Why ask so many questions?
"Oh." Shan Xi nodded obediently. She was just simply curious.
"Why aren't you going home yet?" "You've already finished your smoothie, why aren't you going home yet? Are you waiting for a second bowl?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll just sit for a while longer." Shan Xi didn't want to go back.
Moreover, she knew that her own mother would not come to Chixiaoyuan easily, so she could really find some peace and quiet here.
"Is there someone waiting for you in your yard?" This was purely Song Qingci's guess.
"Sister-in-law!" Shan Xi thought her sister-in-law was really amazing. Or, could she ask her sister-in-law for help?
"Sister-in-law! How about you go and talk to mother and tell her not to be so anxious to find someone for me?" Shan Xi said tentatively, looking at Song Qingci with wet eyes.
An expression that is both cute and aggrieved.
Song Qingci's heart almost skipped a beat when he saw this!
However, Song Qingci really couldn't do anything about what she said.
After calming down, Song Qingci refused, "I really can't take care of this matter. Otherwise, you can go and ask your grandmother?"
Although she did not agree with her mother-in-law's eagerness to find a partner for her sister-in-law, she really had no right to speak!
She herself received nine years of compulsory education in China, and learned the idea of female independence. But this is Dachen, not China. There is not only a difference of thousands of years, but also a difference of a whole space and time.
What her mother-in-law did was the right thing to do in this era. And her mother-in-law didn't just sell her daughter for fame.
She was truly thinking about this for her daughter, and she really had no right to speak up about this matter.
If she spoke out in opposition, it would be a real challenge to her mother-in-law and this era.
The most she could do was to help investigate the person after selecting him/her to see if he/she had any bad habits, or to be a backer for Shan Xi in the future.
