531 Beating Xiao Qirui Up (1)
In the early years, Old Master Yuan was busy with official matters and neglected his sons. When he realized that something was wrong, his brothers were already old enough to get married.
He was filled with regret. He had beaten and scolded them. The brothers had restrained themselves in front of him, but they still did what they did behind his back.
Helpless, Old Master Yuan could only place his hopes on his grandchildren. However, once he became stricter with his grandchildren, his daughters-in-law would cry and complain to Madam Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan’s heart ached for her grandson. She looked for him every few days, causing chaos in the entire Yuan family.
The saying that a wife should marry a virtuous person had almost become Old Master Yuan’s mantra.
No matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, he knew that his grandsons were useless. All of them had learned their father’s bad habits.
In his words, the Yuan family’s luck had come to an end.
After getting so angry that he almost had a stroke a few times, he simply brought Yuan Yuwan to the old residence to stay and focused on teaching her alone.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuwan was smart and gave him some comfort.
Seeing that she was interested, Shen Yijia tilted her head and asked, “Sister Yuwan, do you want to try?”
“Can I?” When she asked this, her eyes were filled with eagerness.
Although Shen Yijia had not interacted with her for long, Yuan Yuwan had always given off a quiet and steady feeling. This was the first time she had done this.
Shen Yijia, who was a little slow to sense the emotions of everyone except Song Jingchen, inexplicably felt that this girl must be tired of living.
Without a word, she pulled Yuan Yuwan to the cubicle and handed her a word plate. “Try it.”
Yuan Yuwan was stunned. She reached out and took it. She chose words from the neatly arranged list and lined them up on the calligraphy plate.
Shen Yijia also lined up a page. After that, the two of them returned to the printing room.
Printing did not require any technical skills. At most, it would be novel to the people who saw it for the first time.
Yuan Yu printed two sheets. When she looked up, she burst out laughing.
“Hurry up and bring your young lady to wash up.” She couldn’t help but turn to Sana and say.
Sana was mainly in charge of the workshop.
Shen Yijia blinked and guessed something. She awkwardly followed Sana to the backyard.
Apart from the work houses, there were also a few rooms left in the backyard. One of them was prepared for Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia washed the ink off her face and asked, “Did you send that child away?”
She was asking about the son of Shen Pingxiu’s mistress. Ever since she sent him to the wine shop, this was the first time she had asked.
Sana handed her a handkerchief and said, “I just sent him away a few days ago.”
Actually, that child had been in the wine shop for a few days and was very obedient. If not for his special status, the few of them would not have been willing to send him away.
Shen Yijia nodded and did not ask further. It was enough to save the child. She did not intend to interfere too much in the child’s future.
When she came out of the room, Yuan Yuwan happened to come over with a maidservant. She was still holding the paper that the two of them had printed just now.
Sana brought her more water to wash her hands before the two of them sat down in the courtyard to talk.
“If my grandfather saw this, he would definitely be very happy.” Looking at the neat handwriting in her hand, Yuan Yuwan sighed.
Shen Yijia scratched her head. “Then burn this for him to see.”
Yuan Yuwan laughed out loud. “That’s a good idea.”
The two of them chatted for a while longer, but Xiao Ruoshui did not return. Yuan Yuwan suggested looking for her.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the Yuan family’s servant came looking for them.
Perhaps because he had been searching for a long time, the servant’s face was covered in sweat. When he saw that Yuan Yuwan did not bow, he said impatiently, “Eldest Miss, go home quickly. Master has something urgent to tell you.”
Although he called her Eldest Miss, he had no respect for her at all.
Yuan Yuwan seemed to be used to it and did not care. She only looked at Shen Yijia apologetically and said, “I have to go back first. Ruoshui…”
Shen Yijia waved her hand. “It’s fine. Go home first. I’ll look for her alone.”
After Yuan Yuwan left, Shen Yijia did not stay in the workshop for long. She reminded Sana about a couple of things and brought Mo Yuan out to look for Xiao Ruoshui.
She had come in the Xiao family’s carriage. Fortunately, this place was not far from the noodle shop. The two of them arrived after walking for 15 minutes.
However, when she arrived at the noodle shop, she only saw Feng Manman sitting in the lobby with tears in her eyes. She did not see Xiao Ruoshui.
Seeing a guest enter, Feng Manman quickly wiped her tears and put on her veil in a panic. She apologized, “I’m sorry, the noodle shop is about to be transferred. We’re not doing business anymore.”
