C12 Ask This Woman

"Yes, Second Miss. This servant will prepare them now."

The two girls looked to be no more than ten years old, so Shan Xing asked the other four to follow. Otherwise, if these two ten years old girls were to bring him hot water, he probably wouldn't be able to take a hot bath tonight.

"Two nanny, two mother, I've just arrived at the mansion today, and I'm not too sure about everything yet. I'll have to trouble the few mother and nanny in the future, and now I want to take care of myself, you two can go and rest as well. When everything goes well tomorrow, I'll have to trouble the few of you to explain the rules of the mansion to me."

nanny and her mother looked at each other. They didn't expect that this six-year-old lady not only didn't have the same fear and panic as when she first came to the manor, but she actually had a good way of speaking. However, it was reasonable and they couldn't refute her.

"Then I'll take my leave. Second Miss, you should rest well. If Miss has any matters to attend to tomorrow, please send someone to pass on the message."

Shan Xingba didn't want to leave with them, so she hastily waved them off.

When First Madam had taken a look earlier, all of her attention had been focused on First Madam, and she hadn't been able to take a good look at her own room. When she turned around, she found that it was roughly the same as her brother's suite, with three inner rooms, the outermost room being where they ate. There were also some high-backed chairs with tea tables on the outside walls, which should have been used for entertaining guests.

Even someone as undesirable as her could actually use such a good item. It could be seen that there was no coward in the Count Mansion who could recognize the good or bad pen, ink, paper and ink stone, and because her unit's leader was a calligraphy fanatic, her parents took her to learn calligraphy for a while after knowing her boss's preferences, saying that she would always need to use it in the future, but in the end, they never expected that she would need to use it for the rest of her life.

When she first saw her brother's bed, she immediately liked it. Fortunately, she also had a bed, although it was a little smaller than her brother's, but for her, who was only six years old right now, it could be considered a huge bed. She wanted to go up and take a look, but when she saw her grayish clothes, she decided to forget it.

There was a window opposite the bed, and although the window wasn't very tall, it was very big and was about the length of a bed. And below it, there was also a bed, shaped like a modern imperial concubine's bed, with one shoulder up and the other hanging down, the entire bed was the same length of the window, and also very wide. Even if an adult were to lie down on it, there was still plenty of money to be had.

From her perspective, on the side of the bed, there was also a dressing table. This makeup table was quite a grand style, the entire wood carvings, from the back of the mirror to the foot of the table, were all carvings, looking extremely grand, and that mirror, as Shan Xing had expected, was a copper mirror, not a mercury mirror, but it was clearly well done. She could clearly see what was reflected in the mirror, and it was very clear, but regrettably, because of the angle, she couldn't see herself.

So far, she still did not know what she looked like, so, even though she was very tired, she could not hold back her curiosity. Climbing down from the bed and taking advantage of the reflection in the mirror, she really did not think that what was reflected in the mirror was her childhood self, a round little face, white and clean, with a pair of big round eyes, with a pair of black pupils, long eyelashes, and a row of shallow shadows cast on her eyes, making her eyes appear even deeper, her nose was straight, her lips were red and small. Not only did Shan Xing so believe in her looks, but she was also considered a beauty in her previous life.

Shan Xing had already experienced the right and wrong of this world. She did not have much joy or resentment towards her own looks, she only felt that it was better to look better than being ugly, and that she would be more at ease if she did not want to look ugly. If she did, it would not be even more miserable, thinking so randomly, her heart had actually become a lot calmer, so why did she want to do so much? Right now, she was still too young, her thoughts were too small, she could only not pay attention to it.

Shan Xing finally took a hot bath and changed into the clothes that the little girl had prepared for her. Shan Xing climbed onto the bed that she had longed for for for half a day, but in the end, it was not as comfortable as she had imagined, as the softness and comfort in her memory had already become a thing that would never come back. Shan Xing buried her face in the pillow, but the pillow was still considered soft.

Shan Xing lost track of time and fell asleep in a daze. It wasn't like she had slept for a long time. Shan Xing was woken up by the two girls.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, it's time to eat. First Madam is waiting for you at her place."

Although she was unwilling, Shan Xing was still lifted out of bed by the two girls. Of course, it took some effort for the two of them to carry her.

"Father, mother!"

After being tidied up by the two maidservants, they arrived at the main courtyard. The moment Shan Xing entered the dining room, she bowed to them respectfully. As expected, the man and the woman calmed their expressions.

"I've been waiting for you, hurry up and come over. If you don't come, then your brother won't eat."

Shan Xing smiled sweetly at her brother. It turned out that if it wasn't for her brother, she wouldn't even have the chance to sit at this table.

"I've long since decided on your brother's name, so there's no need to worry about it. Now that you're old, you can't always be called Second Miss and Second Miss. Every name is inconvenient, so you should just call —"

Before this man could say his name, Shan Xing had already rushed to say it.

"Father, I have a name. Mother, please pick it for me, I'm called Shan Xing."

His daughter's words made Shan Yongxin choke to death. Returning to his mother and Shan Xing really made him explode with anger.

"What mother, you have to call me concubine."

Shan Xing opened her mouth but didn't say anything. It was just a scolding from her disciple. In her heart, Madam Peng was her mother, and no one could change that.

"You can't even call me that. It's too rustic. If you call me that, people will laugh at you."

Shan Yongxin did not allow Shan Xing to refute him. In this family, there was no one who dared to challenge his authority.

"What's the name of the brother?"

Shan Xing wanted to know, did her brother call out another name as well? If that happened, would her brother and herself really become two different people, no longer being Shan Xing and the forest?

"Your brother is called Shan Honglin."

Shan Yongxin answered Shan Xing without thinking. He felt that this was a good name he had given his son for nine years and it would not change.

"My name is Mountain, not Shan Honglin."

He had nothing, and only his name could prove what had happened. If he had changed his name, then his mother's desperate escape that time would have been meaningless, and he had no seed, so he could not be someone who betrayed his family, and the person he betrayed, and also his own mother, would not be able to do it.

"Who said you are from the forest? Who allowed you to change your name, that bitch. "

Shan Yongxin was finally angry. He thought that the woman dared to bring his son and daughter away. She was challenging his bottom line. Luckily, she died, otherwise, he would have made her die an even worse death.

"You dare to call my mother a slut? Not bad, not bad. Since my mother is a slut, then my sister and I are not good people either. Why did you bring us back? Sister, let's go."

With a swoosh, he stood up from the forest, grabbed Shan Xing's hand, and walked towards the door.

"Let's see if you dare to walk out!"

A loud shout came from behind her. It was clearly a furious voice. Shan Xing sighed in her heart. This kind of father was better than having one. He didn't have any kinship left at all.

"Why would I not dare? If I stay, I will die. If I leave, I might still be able to live."

The forest didn't stop. He gritted his teeth as he replied, but his steps were more resolute. However, before he had taken two steps, he was pulled back by someone.

"I'm going against you. Just explain it to me clearly, what is death even if you stay?" "Why can't I understand? How can it be death in my own home?"

Shan Yongxin raised his head and looked around. The girl in the room quickly lowered her head and quickly left. Moments later, only the family of four remained in the room.

"Do you really want to hear it? Why don't you ask her first? "

Hearing his son talking to him without even a greeting, Shan Yongxin was about to get angry. He didn't expect his son to say this again. He looked at the woman his son was pointing at and asked in confusion.

"What does that have to do with her?"

First Madam's heart skipped a beat when she saw the forest staring at her with hatred.
