Chapter 214 Don’t Try to Control Me
In Maoer Village, Shen Yitian woke up and it was almost dark.
Grandma Li came over with a cane. When she woke up, she saw the old lady standing by her side.
"Miss, you're awake, finally. Miss, you scared me to death." Seeing her wake up, the old lady's eyes were filled with tears.
However, Shen Yitian changed her usual attitude, stood up with a stern face, and didn't even take the tea handed to her by the old lady.
Grandma Li stood there in a daze, not knowing why she suddenly became angry.
Shengsheng didn't dare to speak, but just silently helped her wash her face and served her tea for her to rinse her mouth.
After she finished all this, she sat back on the stool and sipped the sweet porridge that Shen Zhuohang had ordered to be cooked.
Because she ate a lot before going to bed and probably couldn't eat much meat and fish when she woke up, Shen Zhuohang simply ordered someone to prepare her favorite snacks and porridge.
Grandma Li was a little embarrassed. She was already weak, and now she was almost exhausted after staying by Shen Yitian's side for so long.
She originally thought that she would go to rest as soon as Shen Yitian woke up, but Shen Yitian ignored her completely.
Shengsheng glanced at Grandma Li quietly, and saw that the old lady's face was pale, which made her feel a little distressed.
Just when she was about to speak up to help her, Shen Yitian said, "Shengsheng, help me pick up a piece of that dessert."
She was talking about the date paste rolls made by the pastry chef that Shen Zhuohang brought specially from Beijing. The rolls looked crispy and she really wanted to try them.
Shengsheng obediently helped her pick up a piece of date paste roll, and she ate it and looked very satisfied.
So Shengsheng wanted to speak up for Grandma Li again.
Shen Yitian pointed at the soft and sticky donkey rolls over there and said, "I want that too."
It was clearly not far away. In the past, she always picked it up herself, but this time she insisted on asking Shengsheng to do it.
Of course Shengsheng didn't say anything, but she just felt a little strange and looked at Grandma Li again.
During this meal, Shen Yitian, contrary to her usual behavior, asked Shengsheng to be busy here and there, not letting her have a moment's rest.
Normally, Shengsheng had never done much of this because she always said no. So, when she was suddenly busy like this, she was a little flustered and naturally had no time to speak up for Grandma Li.
Grandma Li stood there holding the tea for the entire meal. Her face turned blue and white, then purple, and she was about to faint.
Shen Yitian glanced at them indifferently, then put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Shengsheng, help grandma come over and sit down."
Upon hearing this, Shengsheng immediately went over and supported Grandma Li with both hands as she walked over.
Grandma Li's face turned pale. She asked, "Miss, what did I do wrong to make you angry?"
Shen Yitian snorted, "How could that be? Grandma Li is doing this for my own good."
Grandma Li breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart began to lift again when she saw Shen Yitian's indifferent expression.
"I ate in front of you, are you satisfied?" Shen Yitian raised her eyes and asked Grandma Li.
Grandma Li let out a cry and looked at Shen Yitian in confusion.
"When I disappeared, you stopped eating, drinking and sleeping. Now I'm eating in front of you. Are you satisfied?" Shen Yitian asked again.
Grandma Li's face turned pale in an instant. She stood up tremblingly and knelt down with a thud.
"Miss, please calm down. I have overstepped my bounds."
She is just an old maid, what right does she have to fall ill when the young lady is missing?
"You know very well that this is not what I meant, Grandma Li, what exactly do you want me to do?" Shen Yitian, contrary to her usual behavior, did not reach out to help her, but just sat upright on the chair and asked lightly.
"I've authorized you to take care of everything at home. I'm afraid you'll worry too much, so I've assigned someone to take care of it. Maybe I'm too tolerant, which is why you feel like I should always be by your side and can't go anywhere.
As long as there is no news, you can go without food or drink. It would be best if you fell ill. Then I would feel even more guilty when you come back, and I would think carefully before going out again."
Grandma Li waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Miss, that's not what I meant."
Shen Yitian asked with a cold face: "What do you mean?"
Grandma Li said in a panic, "I, I'm just, I'm just old and worried about you, that's all."
Shen Yitian curled her lips. "Really? You're old now. If you're really worried about me, shouldn't you take better care of me? I've told you time and time again to take care of yourself and not to make me feel guilty, but you never listened."
"Or maybe you just listened to it and wanted to make me feel even more guilty."
When the Song family drove them away, the original owner didn't even bat an eyelid.
At that time, Grandma Li was wronged, but she left resolutely with her men.
After catching up with her on the road to exile, Shen Yitian showed her heartache and weakness again and again, making her feel that she had become the person closest to Shen Yitian.
Whenever Shen Qingshan and Shen Zhuohang gave instructions, Shen Yitian would do as they were told. She felt that she, like Shen Qingshan and Shen Zhuohang, were people she cared about.
In fact, this is true. Shen Yitian really wants to respect her and just hopes that she will be fine.
But he ignored his own health again and again, saying that it was all for Shen Yitian, but in fact he fell ill again and again, which made her worried.
Shen Yitian was a little annoyed.
She felt as if she was being manipulated.
"Miss!" Grandma Li's eyes trembled, and after meeting Shen Yitian's cold eyes, she quickly looked away.
She...had thoughts that she shouldn't have had.
Shen Yitian was so easy to talk to, and everyone was willing to let her do anything, which made her feel that she was the only one who could support this house in Lingnan.
Shen Yitian was silent for a moment, and after Shengsheng knelt down, she silently raised her hand.
"Well, get up. Go and rest and take care of yourself. From now on, you will be responsible for all the trivial matters in the house, and you will also need to train the newly bought servants."
With just one word, Grandma Li was put back in her original position.
She knew that what Shen Yitian didn't say was telling her not to interfere too much.
She doesn't have to worry about what's happening outside, and she doesn't have to care about Shen Yitan's personal affairs in the future. She just needs to take care of the house.
Her face was as pale as paper. Grandma Li didn't dare to say anything more. She just stood up with a hunched back, bowed to Shen Yitian, and then left.
Shengsheng stood up and lowered her head, not daring to speak. She never knew that a good-tempered lady could get angry.
He didn't smash any cups or bowls, and he didn't even speak loudly. Just sitting there was enough to scare people into thinking about him.
"Don't try to control me, no matter who you are." Shen Yitian added this before Grandma Li left.
Grandma Li swayed, not daring to say another word, and left in a hunched manner.
Shen Yitian ate some snacks but still didn't feel full, so she went to the kitchen.
The only things in the kitchen were the servants' leftovers and the pastries that the chef from the capital had carefully prepared for her, all of which had just been eaten.
Shengsheng followed her and, realizing she wasn't full, suggested calling the cook to prepare some food. Shen Yitian shook her head, grabbed two corns, two eggplants, and some tofu from the kitchen, asked Shengsheng to get some seasonings, and then went to the yard.
