After Shen Zhonglei left, Mrs. Shen said a few more words to Shen Tianshu, then let everyone disperse and asked Shen Tianshu to go back and rest quickly.
"You've been tired from the journey for several days. You don't have to come over to say hello at night. It's a good time to rest."
Shen Tianshu thanked Mrs. Shen and finally returned to his Shuangtang Courtyard.
Aunt Yang had already led a kind of maid to sort out the luggage she had brought back. She put away what needed to be put away and picked out what needed to be cleaned and ironed.
When he saw her finally coming back, he hurriedly greeted her and asked: "Why did the girl lose so much weight when she went out this time?"
"How can I not lose weight by eating fast and chanting Buddha's name with the concubine every day?" Shen Tianshu said with a smile, "Others can't lose weight even if they want to, but I think it's pretty good."
"Then you can't be too thin." Mother Yang muttered, "Look, the clothes that were just right before I left are now loose around the waist. What do girls want to do if they are so thin? They want to be round and round."
Before Shen Tianshu could sit down even when he returned home, Shen Yunhui came to the door hurriedly.
"Sister, you are finally back!" Shen Yunhui entered the room with an expression on her face that said, "I have a lot to tell you."
"I've been away for so long. Is everything okay at home?" Shen Tianshu asked, "Is there nothing going on with Ping Niang?"
"We are all fine!" Shen Yunhui sat directly opposite Shen Tianshu and whispered mysteriously, "I'm telling you, you can't imagine what happened to Shen Yunyao after she returned to her hometown."
After learning these things from Ping Niang, Shen Yunhui had no one to talk to and was almost suffocated to death.
Now, after finally waiting for Shen Tianshu to return home, he naturally poured out everything in his mind like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
Shen Tianshu really didn't expect that Shen Yunyao would live such a wonderful life after returning to his hometown for such a short time.
"No wonder the old lady brought her back directly this time. She probably didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone in her hometown, for fear that her family wouldn't be able to control her." Shen Tianshu asked again, "Dad didn't say anything when he knew about this. What?"
"Grandma has already asked her third cousin to write a letter of divorce and divorce Mrs. Liu back home. Nothing really happened to Shen Yunyao. What else could dad say? Not only did he not say anything, he also treated the old lady as his own. I gave Shen Yunyao a lesson in person."
Shen Yunyao curled her lips as she spoke, and then said: "On the mother's side, the boss is not happy. But what if she is not happy? Doesn't she still have the guts to get angry at the old lady?
"I heard from Ping Niang that she had a fight with dad about this matter in private. But because the old lady was at home, dad was too lazy to argue with her, so he let it go."
Shen Tianshu wanted to know what Mrs. Shen did after she returned home, but asking Shen Yunyao about these things probably wouldn't help her, so she would have to ask Ping Niang.
So when Shen Yunyao finally said enough and was ready to say goodbye and go back, Shen Tianshu warned: "I have packed up all the gifts prepared for you and Heping Niang. You can just take them back by yourself. I won't send anyone specially." Sent to you.
"Also, go back and tell Ping Niang and ask her to come over at her convenience."
In fact, Ping Niang couldn't wait to see Shen Tianshu for a long time, but in order to avoid being noticed, she waited until dark and everything was locked before she came quietly.
Shen Tianshu had already asked someone to leave the door open for her.
Ping Niang entered the room first and said, "Young lady, when you go out, remember to prepare a gift for me. I really don't dare to accept it."
"It's not anything expensive, but I saw that the colors of the two rulers were just right for you, so I asked Yunyao to bring them to you."
"Because of this, it proves that the eldest lady is thinking about my concubine!" Ping Niang was worried, but she still smiled and greeted Shen Tianshu.
"Before the old lady came, she was very busy, wasn't she?" Shen Tianshu said.
"Yes!" Ping Niang knew that this matter could not be hidden from Shen Tianshu, so she took out a booklet she had memorized from her sleeve, handed it to Shen Tianshu and said, "Everything I know is recorded here."
Shen Tianshu took it and flipped through it. Most of what was recorded in it was Xu's illegal money-making activities such as loan sharking, selling goods, buying and selling, etc.
Glancing at the huge amount of money at the back, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but be a little stunned. The Xu family's money was probably all weighed down on it. It's no wonder that last year they had to divert some silver from the company to supplement the Xu family.
"This time, all the outside business was suddenly stopped, and all the money was withdrawn to fill the hole. The loss must be considerable, right?"
"There must have been some losses, but she was the prefect's wife. Who dared to make her lose too much money? Most of the losses were borne by the people who cooperated with her. Even so, she still felt very unfair. !”
"She really dares to bully others like this outside, isn't she afraid that something will happen to her in the future?" Shen Tianshu frowned when he heard this, "That's right, as long as she is still Mrs. Shen and as long as her father does not fall, not only will those people not I can spread the word, and maybe I’ll be happy to have such a way to send money to her!”
"Isn't it? Mrs. Shen is her biggest shield. Even if the incident comes to light one day, in order to preserve the official reputation of the master, the Shen family will not ignore her."
Hearing this, Shen Tianshu looked at Ping Niang with a smile and said, "There is something in your words!"
Ping Niang said with a smile: "I am not as calm as a big girl, so naturally I am worried."
Now for Shen Yunyao, she could be said to have completely surrendered to Shen Tianshu, and even handed over many of Xu's evidence to Shen Tianshu.
It would be fine if Shen Tianshu could really defeat the Xu family in one fell swoop.
If not, Shen Tianshu will at most have a more difficult life in her parents' home before getting married, and she and Shen Yunyao will be completely ruined.
Xu couldn't touch Shen Tianshu, but it was easy to deal with herself and Shen Yunyao.
"Okay, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have everything ready."
Ping Niang was stunned when she heard this. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Tianshu. She tried hard to control herself and lowered her voice. Her voice was a little out of tune and she said, "Have you really found that person?"
Shen Tianshu actually learned the good news after returning to Wuchang Mansion and meeting Xie Yan.
Moreover, Xie Yan had not yet alerted the enemy, leaving only one secret guard to keep an eye on the opponent.
No matter how cunning the opponent is, he is not just a commoner. He cannot escape the eyes of the secret guards of the Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, when Shen Tianshu came back this time, he felt very confident in his heart. Mr. Xu had been so excited for a few days.
"It's just that how to expose this matter requires a little more thought."
Shen Tianshu couldn't let this matter have anything to do with him, at least not openly.
"When the time comes, the old lady will have to ask you for questions. You have to figure out clearly what should be said, what should not be said, and how to say it. Think about it in advance. Don't panic when the time comes and decide what should be said and what should not be said. Everything was poured out."
