C224 Were You Tired Last Night

He did not directly expose the fact that she was still awake. Shen Mingxi hesitated for a moment and also followed Situ Ye's posture and closed her eyes again.

This sleep, even Shen Mingxi did not expect that she could actually sleep sweetly until ten o'clock the next morning!

There was not a bit of rest in the first two days, but it was not so exaggerated, right?

When Shen Mingxi woke up, Mrs Lee had already opened the room door and saw Shen Mingxi staring at the ceiling with her big eyes. She could not help but laugh, "So Eldest Miss has already woken up. I thought you were still sleeping."

If it was in front of other maids, Shen Mingxi might feel embarrassed but the other party was Mrs Lee. She had been used to Mrs Lee being by her side since she was young and was silent for two seconds but she did not have the intention to get up.

"Eldest Miss, were you tired last night?" Mrs Lee was stunned for a moment and carefully looked at the expression on Shen Mingxi's pretty face. She wanted to find a trace of fatigue.

She had just hung up the water for the whole night the day before yesterday. Logically speaking, they should not be sharing the same room for the next two days. She did not mention it before and thought that Shen Mingxi knew about it.

Mrs Lee really treated her like her own family and doted on her. Shen Mingxi gently let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Mrs Lee's worried look, she did not know whether to be embarrassed or feel warm.

"No, not at all!" The corner of her mouth curled up awkwardly. Shen Mingxi shook her head and very quickly interrupted Mrs Lee's thoughts, "Nothing happened. It was just that Situ Ye was drunk last night. I helped him up. He was a little tired, so he slept a little longer in the morning."

In a family like Shen family, although it did not seem to be as strict as Situ's's family rules, Shen Mingxi had grown up and had received a lot of etiquette and discipline training. If she didn't get up at this time of day, for a healthy girl... She shouldn't have.

It was precisely because Mrs Lee knew this that she felt that her current behavior was different, right?

After a pause, Mrs Lee nodded her head and heaved a sigh of relief, "So it turns out that the Young Master went out last night to drink."

The man went out after dark and came back drunk. It reminded people of him and they could not help but feel a little pity for Shen Mingxi.

"Yes." Shen Mingxi answered and then slowly sat up.

"Big Miss, there are some things that Mrs Lee should not have told you. But even if I am just a servant, under such circumstances, I also want to tell you. " Seeing Shen Mingxi's frail body sitting up from the bed, Mrs Lee took the slippers that were placed on the bed head over. As she raised her head, she looked deeply at Shen Mingxi.

"In my heart, you are already my family." Shen Mingxi was touched as she took her shoes. She still remembered when she was very young. Because she did not have a mother, Mrs Lee was like taking care of her own child. Every morning, she would be considerate and put on her shoes and clothes for her as if he was the real mother.

Mrs Lee's eyes flickered. She did not expect Shen Mingxi to suddenly say such a thing. Her hand that was holding the shoes also trembled a few times. She stared at Shen Mingxi who had already grown into a beautiful lady in front of her as if she could not believe it. "Eldest Miss, I..."

"It's nothing. What do you want to say? Just say it." Shen Mingxi did not want to hear anything sensational and lightly breathed a sigh of relief. Her delicate facial features grew on her gentle face, coupled with a slightly cool temperament. At this moment, her entire person made her look very comfortable.

Such a good girl, why did she have to be tormented by fate like this?

Mrs Lee looked at Shen Mingxi with some heartache, "Eldest Miss, when do you plan to marry Young Master?"

Although the servants in the manor would intentionally or unintentionally say this question, Mrs Lee had never heard Situ Ye or Shen Mingxi say it themselves.

As someone who watched Shen Mingxi grow up, she really hoped that Shen Mingxi could marry Situ Ye a little faster.

After all, the Shen family was gone. Now, the only person who could protect Shen Mingxi was... Besides, the outside world was bustling with noise and excitement. He knew that Shen Mingxi had always lived by Situ Ye's side. If the two of them did not get married, what would the people outside think of Shen Mingxi when the time came?

No matter what, they were all once young ladies of the Shen family. They had lived since they were young and had become the real heiress of a rich family.

"Mrs Lee?"

Shen Mingxi had just put on her slippers and was ready to go into the closet to find a set of clothes. She did not expect Mrs Lee to suddenly ask such a question. She frowned in shock and seemed to be at a loss as to what to do, "Why are you asking this?"

Who was it and what did he say?

Looking at a person's eyes was enough to tell her current state of mind.

Mrs Lee saw Shen Mingxi's huge reaction and the hope that she was holding just now was quickly extinguished like a flame.

Shen Mingxi looked very surprised. Was it because the two of them had never thought of such a problem?

Mrs Lee originally had doubts about Shen Mingxi living by Situ Ye's side but seeing that he was good to Shen Mingxi, she believed that he really liked Eldest Miss.

But looking at Shen Mingxi's reaction now, they did not plan to get married at all. A girl's reputation could not be destroyed like this. Then, if they continued like this, how would Shen Mingxi continue to live in the future?

Although Mrs Lee had not seen Shen Mingxi go out these few days, that did not mean that she would live in such a small manor for the rest of her life!

"Big Miss, Mrs Lee can tell that Young Master likes you." Mrs Lee sighed lightly and thought more in her heart. After all, she was not the person involved. She could not influence Shen Mingxi and Situ Ye's decision. So she could only try her best to persuade the person involved.

Mrs Lee's eyes were very gentle. In Shen Mingxi's eyes, there was an indescribable feeling that instantly enveloped her.

"So what?" Regarding whether she liked it or not, if it was the previous Shen Mingxi, after all, the person who made her become like this was Situ Ye. She could not believe that he really liked her.

However, when the drunk man last night whispered in her ear about whether he liked her or not, although he did not get the answer later on, she probably forgot about it.

But when a person was drunk, wasn't it when their consciousness was the most blurry and what they thought was the closest to the depths of their heart?

Furthermore, these few days, Shen Mingxi had not been blind to the bits and pieces that Situ Ye had displayed. It was also impossible that she did not feel anything.

Mrs Lee sighed lightly and felt very lamentable for Shen Mingxi in her heart. She could not help but softly advise, "Eldest Miss, perhaps things are not as pessimistic as you think? We can all see that Young Master likes you. But a woman, no matter how much a man likes you, has to lower his attitude appropriately. As long as you are willing to give in a little, the young master, the young master, he... "
