"Yun Yao has stayed with me for a while when she returned to her hometown this time. Although she is a little willful, she is not so vicious, right?"
Mrs. Shen was astonished and raised her own questions.
Shen Zhonglei looked embarrassed when he heard this, and finally said after being repeatedly questioned by Mrs. Shen: "Although Yun Yao was at fault, she can't be blamed entirely. In fact, it was Yu Rou's nephew who gave the idea, so after that incident
, I immediately drove him back to the Xu family."
He tried to be as vague as possible, but Mrs. Shen still grasped this point keenly.
"You mean Xu Yihao?" Mrs. Shen became very angry when she mentioned this name, "Speaking of this, I haven't even had time to settle the score with you, but there are so many things I don't know about?
"
After Mrs. Shen arrived at Yongzhou Mansion, she did not act in a hurry. After all, Mrs. Xu was in charge of the accounting books. Even if she was the mother-in-law, she could not just take over the rights of her daughter-in-law.
She was not afraid of offending Mrs. Xu, but she was afraid that the matter would spread unfavorably and affect Shen Zhonglei's reputation.
Therefore, during this period of time, she has been using Chunlan's previous connections in the mansion to inquire about Xu's affairs, hoping to catch the other party's mistakes so that she could legitimately intervene.
Who knew that Xu's performance during this period was quite remarkable, which made her a little confused for a moment.
After listening to Shen Zhonglei's words, Mrs. Shen became more and more determined to come here this time, and she must treat Mrs. Xu in a submissive manner so that she would not dare to cross the border again.
Otherwise, my son will be troubled by this wife sooner or later.
After Shen Tianshu returned to the room, he felt a little uneasy about the fact that Mrs. Shen left Shen Zhonglei behind.
She wanted to ask someone to go out and send a message, but she was afraid of being caught.
Xie Yan didn't know what he was busy with these past two days, and he didn't seem to be around.
Seeing that she was worried, Mingyu couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is the girl worried that the master will go to the Guo family to inquire about information?"
Shen Tianshu nodded when he heard this.
If Mrs. Guo is asked to inquire about information, she will naturally not be afraid, and the other party will definitely help her cover up her lies.
But now that Mrs. Guo is still ill in bed, even if Shen Zhonglei sends someone to inquire, he will definitely ask other members of the Guo family, which will be difficult to handle.
"Slave, please go find big brother and deliver a message!" Mingyu said, helping to think of a way.
"No." Shen Tianshu shook his head, "Shen Yunyao can send someone to follow me today, and maybe he will also send someone to keep an eye on the people in our room."
"What should we do?" Mingyu also became a little anxious.
If it were left to normal times, that would be fine. The master is soft-hearted and Mrs. Xu can't do any tricks.
But now that Mrs. Shen is in the house, if she leaves any bad impression in front of her, it may affect the girl's marriage in the future, which is not a trivial matter.
Shen Tianshu thought about the person he could use, and finally waved to Mingyu, asked her to come over and explain a few words.
Mingyu nodded when he heard this and said: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely take care of it."
Hanqiao got Xu's order and sent people to watch the front and back doors of Shuangtang Courtyard, while he went to the people's residence in the backyard.
Walking to the door of Mingyu's residence, Hanqiao heard Mingyu's voice coming from inside, but he couldn't make out what he was saying.
She didn't knock on the door, pushed open the door and entered the room: "Mingyu, aren't you on duty in front of the eldest girl today?"
Besides Hanqiao, there was another person in the room, sitting with his back to the door. It was unclear who he was for the moment.
"Sister Hanqiao, you..." Mingyu stood up in panic when she saw Hanqiao.
Hanqiao thought she had caught something this time, so she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and asked: "Why are you panicking when you see me? Are you doing something shameful? Let me see, who is this?"
Before Hanqiao came forward, the person sitting with his back to the door stood up and said coldly: "Doing shameful things? Isn't this what sister Hanqiao is best at? I'm afraid others can't learn it if they want to do it.
Woolen cloth!"
After Hanqiao saw the man's face clearly, his expression immediately changed, and then he understood why Mingyu looked panicked just now.
The person in Mingyu's room is none other than Chunlan.
Mingyu whispered: "Sister Hanqiao, I just want to learn some embroidery from Sister Chunlan...
The pile of embroidery patterns, embroidery supports, fabrics and silk threads spread out on the bed clearly showed what the two people were doing just now.
Hanqiao usually opens her mouth very dexterously, but now she doesn't know what to say.
Ever since he saw the old lady coming to the house with Chunlan, Hanqiao had been on tenterhooks. He even left the task of accompanying Xu to Mrs. Shen's house to Mingzhu.
During this period of time, she didn't wait for the old lady's resignation, and she didn't meet Chunlan in the house. She just relaxed her heart, but unexpectedly she bumped into Mingyu in his room.
When Chunlan saw Hanqiao, she was naturally filled with hatred.
She trusted Hanqiao so much at first, but she was drugged by her and sent to Xu Yihao's carriage.
Chunlan shuddered even more when she thought about the fate of those sisters who went to the Xu family.
If she hadn't been rescued by the eldest girl, she wouldn't be dumped in a mass grave!
When Chunlan followed the old lady back to Yongzhou Mansion, she was thinking of revenge against Hanqiao.
The old lady knows the ins and outs, and even if she does something, she will definitely move towards her.
Unexpectedly, after arriving, the situation changed beyond her expectation.
Hanqiao actually climbed onto the high branch of Shen Zhonglei.
Old Mrs. Shen even beat her up specially for this, saying that she would find a good in-law for her in the future to make it up to her.
The implication is to tell her not to cause trouble for Han Qiao.
After all, the weight of the maid in the daughter-in-law's room is definitely different from that of the person sleeping next to the son.
Chunlan was now at home and could only rely on Mrs. Shen to make a living. Naturally, she did not dare to disobey her, so she simply stayed out of sight and out of mind after Hanqiao avoided her for such a long time.
But at this moment, someone bumped into her, and Chunlan still couldn't help but want to sneer a few words.
"Why, sister Hanqiao is so lenient that I can't even talk or chat with other sisters, right?"
"No, I..." Hanqiao felt guilty. When she saw Chunlan, she became a little shorter, and even her voice was an octave lower than before, "It's all my fault. You guys can talk, I won't delay you anymore."
Hanqiao didn't dare to stay for a long time, fearing that Chunlan would really ignore her and expose the fact that he gave her the drug before, so she hurriedly slipped away.
Looking at Hanqiao's dejected figure leaving, Chunlan realized that the hatred in her heart had never diminished.
Although she couldn't take action, she didn't want to see Han Qiao have a hard time.
Thinking of this, Chunlan suddenly leaned into Mingyu's ear and said, "Don't worry, the eldest lady saved my life, I will definitely help her with this little thing.
"I have something else, please help me tell it to the eldest girl..."
