Chapter 187: Xie Wan
Mrs. Wu was very happy that a new life was born on her birthday, and she was also glad that nothing happened to her. The woman next door gave birth to a son, and Grandma Mu told her about the situation when she came.
Mrs. Wu and her party went to see the mother next door in person. The maid who had been hiding in the corner had disappeared. Chen Xiuyan glanced around and felt suspicious.
"I wonder which family this lady belongs to?" She didn't participate in the climbing activities held by the Jin Palace during the Double Ninth Festival. She probably wasn't a member of the official family of Taiyuan City, but her temperament was unusual.
"I don't know where the maid who was in this private room has gone, and I don't know where Madam's home is?" Chen Xiuyan said.
"My husband is a businessman. Please, ladies, please send me to Wangji, the largest salt merchant in the city. I will pay you a lot of money at that time." The woman held the child with a forbearing expression, but also showed gratitude, and it seemed that she had some ejaculation.
Hate.
When everyone heard that they were businessmen, many frowned. As today's host, Mrs. Wu personally arranged for someone to send the woman and the child back. Mrs. He stayed with her as a friend of Mrs. Wu, while Chen Xiuyan was pulled away by Mrs. Wu.
Let go.
Before going downstairs, the woman glanced at Chen Xiuyan and Nanny Mu behind her, and saluted everyone present, "I'll note down my thanks for today's kindness."
"Why do I always feel familiar when I look at it?" Mrs. Wu looked at the woman who was being helped down, and thoughts flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't think of who it was.
"They are all in Taiyuan Prefecture. It's normal to have seen them before." Mrs. He said nonchalantly, "Go back and see the doctor for a closer look. Everyone is eating well, but you almost died from it. I don't know if there is something wrong with it."
Something wrong."
Mrs. Wu's eyes widened, and she walked back and forth around Mrs. He to take a closer look, "What you said is so vicious. I thought you had changed your gender after getting married. I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here. I really haven't noticed it these days. You can hide it."
That’s great.”
Mrs. He snorted and looked at Chen Xiuyan with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, "I didn't expect Mrs. Luo's medical skills to be so good. Thank you very much when I was at the inn last time. I also apologize to you for my attitude before."
Chen Xiuyan really didn't expect Mrs. He to come out like this. She accepted it with a smile and replied, "Next time if you need anything, please come to me. I'm quite powerful. If you want to, I'll give you a discount. I'll charge you for treating others."
Very expensive.”
"Pfft -" Mrs. Wu laughed out loud and put her hand on Chen Xiuyan's shoulder, "Then let's move on to the next show. I'll treat you two to the show alone."
The three of them took a carriage together and went to the most famous Hongxiang Tower in the city. It was a large teahouse. There was a stage in the lobby of the teahouse, where people could eat, drink and watch plays at the same time.
This was not Mrs. Wu's first time here. The second brother knew her as Mrs. Tongzhi and was taken directly to the private room on the third floor. The location was very good, facing the stage. It was high up and had a clear and spacious view.
"Madam, this is a playbook. If you like it, can you give it a try?" The second brother wrote a booklet, which is as big as the palm of your hand, but beautifully made. The title of the play is written on each page and the key characters in the play are drawn.
Key scenes.
"Want to see it again?" Mrs. Wu asked Mrs. He and Chen Xiuyan to take a look.
Chen Xiuyan was not interested, so Mrs. He politely ordered the play "Han Xiang Ji".
Mrs. He announced the name of the play, and Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows in surprise. When the very familiar dialogue began to be performed on the stage, Chen Xiuyan twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Is the owner of this teahouse a salt merchant?" Chen Xiuyan asked as if she had accidentally asked as she picked up the tea cup.
"How do you know?" Mrs. Wu suddenly thought of it, "Oh, that couldn't be the husband's family of the pregnant woman."
"When I came here for the first time, I didn't ask. The owner is a salt merchant." Mrs. Wu explained, "I don't know how the mother is doing. It must be because the family has a big business.
Such a crime."
Chen Xiuyan recalled what Luo Wenqian had said before. The owner of Hongyue Tower was a salt merchant, and the plays in the teahouse opened by the salt merchant in Taiyuan Prefecture were originally sold to Hongyue Tower. This context was a bit shocking.
At this time, in the main room in the backyard of the teahouse, the woman who had given birth in Manshixiang was sitting on the bed with a forehead wipe on her forehead. A baby was sleeping on the inside of the bed. A woman was crying and choked on the edge of the bed. On the floor of the room
Several people were kneeling.
"Wanwan, my miserable daughter."
"Mom, please stop crying." Xie Wan, a woman who had just given birth to a child, had sharp eyes, "I will not let this matter go easily."
"Why are you so angry with your son-in-law? It must be some wild woman outside who is sowing discord. You said you are the same. You came from Pianguan County with a big belly. What if something bad happens along the way? What do you want me and your father to do?"
people cried.
"Where's dad?" Xie Wan asked.
"I sent someone to call him as soon as you arrived. I think it won't be long before he arrives." Xie Jiang looked at the room and frowned, "Do you really want to confine yourself here? Isn't it better to go home?"
Can my mother still take care of you during your confinement period?"
"Just here, don't tell anyone about my return. No one can know except you, dad, and eldest brother." Xie Wan said seriously.
"I know, I know." Xie Jiang knew that her daughter had made good decisions since she was a child.
"Fan Wan, Wan Wan." Xie Jucai ran out of breath and did not forget to call someone.
"Dad, don't shout." Xie Jucai's son Xie Yuan stopped him, and Xie Jucai immediately felt like he was sawing a gourd.
When the father and son entered the room, Xie Jiang took the kneeling person down consciously, leaving the room to the three of them.
"Wanwan, what happened?" Xie Jucai asked with concern.
"Lu Duanglei, there is someone outside." Xie Wan said calmly.
"What!" Xie Jucai stood up angrily and started walking back and forth in the room, "Lü Duanlei has forgotten his roots. He took advantage of our Xie family and is now killing the donkey?"
"Dad." Xie Yuan was speechless. What kind of metaphor could he compare his daughter to a donkey?
"He doesn't want to kill the donkey, but he wants to monopolize power. He wants to swallow up the Xie family's property." Xie Yuan sneered, "You don't even want to ask me if I agree."
"What!" Xie Jucai and Xie Yuan both looked at Xie Wan with shocked expressions.
"Lu Duanlei's heart is getting bigger. The Shanxi general soldier can't satisfy him anymore. He is a bit dangerous now. The fact that there are people outside is just a reason for me to run away from home."
"Dad, eldest brother, all the family's property can be liquidated, otherwise we won't be able to get it back if it is seized by others." Xie Yuan took out his private seal and said, "And help me find a way, I want to see King Jin."
"Is this, is this so serious?" Xie Jucai sat down slumped, "When he came to our house, I thought he had bad intentions and just wronged you. Let's reconcile."
"Dad, we can't live without each other." Xie Wan is not stupid, and neither is Lu Duanglei. If he doesn't agree, he will always be part of the Lu family.
