Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 416 - 375: This Is Where Their Roots Lie (Part 3)

Chapter 416: Chapter 375: This Is Where Their Roots Lie (Part 3)

Seeing Shi Haiyan protecting her so much, Guo Tong was evidently a bit surprised, but upon hearing Ah Su call out "Young Madam Sun," she felt a secret joy in her heart for no apparent reason.

This secret joy didn’t show on her face, though, as she just furrowed her brows slightly and quickly urged,

"Mom, don’t mind it. After all, Bo Wen and I aren’t married yet, so there’s nothing wrong with Ah Su calling me Miss Guo..."

Shi Haiyan frowned tightly and glared at Guo Tong,

"You shut up! It’s not that she doesn’t respect you; she doesn’t respect me and the eldest son of this family!"

With Shi Haiyan’s reprimand, Guo Tong immediately shut her mouth.

So that’s how it is...

No wonder, she thought to herself, why Shi Haiyan was supporting her so much. It wasn’t because she really liked her.

Since Ah Su came to the Yin Family, she hadn’t made any mistakes.

Even when she first arrived and didn’t know some of the rules, the master and madam only patiently corrected her through other servants.

This kind of severe criticism was a first. Ah Su, twenty-seven, was still a thin-skinned young girl, and her eyes immediately reddened being scolded by Shi Haiyan like this.

"Sister-in-law, who has upset you to make you so angry?"

Upon hearing the commotion inside, Yin Shixiu let Su Xiaomeng continue sitting while he got up and went inside.

Shi Haiyan glanced at Yin Shixiu and said indifferently,

"The servant doesn’t know the rules, so I’m teaching her."

"After all, a servant is still a servant, sister-in-law. There’s no need to get so angry, right?"

Yin Shixiu gave Ah Su a look, and she sniffed and was about to take her bowl back to the kitchen.

"Who told you to leave!"

Seeing Ah Su about to leave on her own, Shi Haiyan became even more furious!

Ah Su was utterly at a loss at this moment, her eyes filled with tears, on the verge of falling.

Yin Shixiu pressed his lips together. Unable to communicate with the woman, he looked to Yin Shiqing,

"Elder brother, what exactly happened that made sister-in-law so angry?"

He said as he walked over to sit on the sofa.

Yin Shiqing actually felt his wife was making a fuss over nothing, but thinking about it...

Guo Tong and Yin Bowen’s wedding was already decided, and the servants knew as well.

So he said,

"Old Fourth, nowadays the servants in this house only take you seriously, taking your wife and child seriously, but have no regard for my son and grandson."

"Elder brother, those words seem a bit self-deprecating, don’t they?"

"Heh heh..."

Seeing Yin Shiqing speak in a sarcastic tone, Yin Shixiu couldn’t help but look at Ah Su,

"Ah Su, tell me, how did you offend the eldest young master and eldest young madam?"

Ah Su, now feeling aggrieved, had shed two tears, quickly wiped them, and hurriedly said,

"Because I—"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she caught Shi Haiyan’s furious expression and changed her mind.

If she directly said, "Because I didn’t call Miss Guo Young Madam Sun," it would probably sound like she was blaming the eldest young madam.

Ah Su had been working in the Yin Family for several years.

She understood clearly that there’s a hierarchy between the master and the servant, and even if the master’s family deliberately made things difficult, the servant had no right to contest.

No matter how good the master and madam or the Fourth Young Master and Fourth Young Madam are...

They would never criticize the master in front of the servants.

"Fourth Young Madam is pregnant, and I made herbal medicine for her but forgot that Young Madam Sun is also pregnant. It’s my bad memory; I forgot..."

Ah Su repeatedly took the initiative to admit her mistake.

Shi Haiyan snorted coldly.

Yin Shiqing looked at Yin Shixiu,

"See, both are pregnant, yet the treatment between your people and my son’s people is as different as heaven and earth."

"Elder brother, can you please not say such sour words?"

Yin Shixiu said to Ah Su,

"Since you made a mistake, you should accept the punishment. This week, go clean the barren garden and don’t step into the Zheng Garden."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

"Let Mrs. Huang handle the herb boiling. Mrs. Huang, starting tomorrow, make two portions of the medicine, one for Fourth Young Madam and have the other sent to Young Master Sun’s house."

"Yes."

Mrs. Huang quickly responded.

After the servants left, Yin Shixiu looked at Shi Haiyan,

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling better now?"

Shi Haiyan exhaled slowly without saying anything.

Yin Shixiu smirked slightly, turning to Yin Bowen and Guo Tong,

"After Xiao Meng came to see you that day, she wasn’t feeling well at home. The next day we went to the hospital, where the doctor said the baby’s condition was unstable, so the doctor prescribed this herbal formula."

"..."

Guo Tong swallowed, clearly intimidated by Yin Shixiu’s calm tone. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"The formula is quite effective for stabilizing the pregnancy. Xiao Meng felt better after taking it for a few days; the dosage will gradually decrease in the future. You can follow her dosage. How about that?"

Yin Bowen quickly said,

"No problem, no problem."

"They’re all children of the Yin Family; there’s no reason to favor one over the other. To argue over what a servant says would be too idle."

"You’re right, Uncle."

"Alright, just comfort your brother and sister-in-law, okay?"

With that, Yin Shixiu patted Yin Bowen’s shoulder and went back to the courtyard.

This large family, gathered together, was like a big dye vat.

No one is a good character, nor are they easy to provoke.

Yin Shixiu wore a cold expression; these trivial matters stacked up into a not-insignificant mountain, ultimately to be toppled by something as light as a feather—

Causing an earth-shattering collapse.

————

Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows as she saw Yin Shixiu return and asked,

"What was the noise inside?"

"Nothing, just trivial matters."

Yin Shixiu leaned back in the chair, and the fatigued Shuangshuang and Huang Huang took the chance to climb all over him.

The two little ones, having just rolled around on the lawn, carried dirt as they climbed all over him...

His white shirt was thoroughly ruined.

Yin Junjie came over to Yin Shixiu and said,

"Fourth Uncle, who was Grandma arguing with earlier? It sounded really fierce."

"You can ask your grandma yourself and see."

Yin Junjie quickly shook his head,

"I’m not stupid. Why would I approach Grandma when she’s angry?"

Yin Shixiu smirked, pulling the two kids tightly into his embrace.

Su Xiaomeng patted the empty seat beside her,

"Junjie, come, sit here and take a break. You’re all sweaty, so take a bath before dinner."

"Hee hee!"

Yin Junjie chuckled a couple of times, flipped to sit properly on the chair.

"The sunset is beautiful! It looks like it’s stained with blood..."

Yin Junjie waxed poetic and then turned to Su Xiaomeng,

"Fourth Aunt, do you think London also has such beautiful sunsets?"

"That you’d have to ask him, he knows."

Yin Shixiu gazed at the sky, which resembled a vivid painting, and said softly,

"No... over there, there aren’t sunsets as beautiful as this."

"When Fourth Aunt finishes her studies, you’ll come back, right?"

"Of course. This is the root of our family."

Su Xiaomeng thought to herself, even if they didn’t want to return, Father would probably drag them back!

Just a round of patriotic reasoning for the country and its people would be overwhelming.
