After coming out of Hanqiao's room, Mrs. Xu lost her previous calmness. Now she didn't even have anyone around her that she could use, so she had to write a letter and send it to Wuchang Mansion and give it to Yingmei.
Yingmei was originally Xu's maid, but when she got old, Xu assigned her to the steward Wan Peng, and then went to Wuchang Mansion to work as the steward's wife, helping Xu manage the property he bought in Wuchang Mansion.
Now that there is no one around, I have to call Yingmei back to help her temporarily, and help her bring Manqing and Mancui along.
As soon as the letter was sent away, Man Qing came in and said, "Madam, Guan Mao is back and wants to see Madam."
"Why is he back?"
Mrs. Xu was startled. Guan Mao was the person she sent to Sanyi Academy to guard Shen Yuanlin.
Now that Shen Yuanlin hasn't taken a vacation yet, what is Guan Mao doing when he suddenly comes back?
"What happened?" Mrs. Xu asked immediately when she saw Guan Mao.
"Madam, Zhao Haijun went to see the young master." Guan Mao also got straight to the point.
"What!" Mrs. Xu stood up excitedly, "He, how dare he... Where is the person? Have you caught him?"
Guan Mao shook his head and said: "No!"
"What do you do for food!" Mrs. Xu screamed in disbelief, "I give you so much money every month, is this how you do things?"
"Madam, Zhao Haijun hired someone to protect him. Besides us, there was also a group of people ambushing near the academy. That group kidnapped Zhao Haijun directly. We just wanted to follow him, but Zhao Haijun's helpers mistakenly thought that we were following him.
The people who kidnapped him were in a group. They came straight towards us and fought with each other. By the time we finished fighting the carriage, they had long disappeared."
"There's another group of people?" Mrs. Xu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Besides yourself, who else would keep an eye on Zhao Haijun?
Old Mrs. Shen’s people? Or Shen Zhonglei’s people?
Aunt Guo must have recruited them all, right?
She took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down her emotions, and denied her guesses.
The old lady came from her hometown and didn't bring many people with her. How could she easily get her own people?
As for Shen Zhonglei, if he knew about this incident, he would definitely have had an attack long ago, and he would not be able to tolerate it all the time.
Mrs. Xu tried her best to comfort herself in her heart. It must be Zhao Haijun's previous creditor who heard that he had money and came to find him.
She was not in the mood to blame Guan Mao anymore, and said: "Go back quickly, don't worry about anything else, just keep an eye on Yuan Lin, and don't let him come into contact with random people."
After sending Guan Mao away, Mrs. Xu returned to her room. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
Aunt Guo knows too many of her secrets, but now that they are in the hands of others, how can she feel at ease?
At Shuangtang Courtyard, Shen Tianshu was entertaining Shen Yunhui who suddenly came to the door.
"Sister, I just went to see my aunt, and my wife went to look for Hanqiao angrily. Their voices in the room became louder and louder, so I followed and eavesdropped..."
Shen Yunhui was mysterious and told Shen Tianshu the news she had overheard like a treasure.
"Madam is so cruel. She started drugging the maids around her a few years ago."
Shen Tianshu had doubts when he read Hanqiao's medical records before. He didn't understand how she could have mistakenly taken cold and cold medicine for so long without knowing it. She grew up in the Shen family almost since she was a child and was with the Xu family. Now she finally has the answer.
After Shen Yunhui finished speaking, his thoughts began to spread out uncontrollably.
"Sister, you said that my mother has only given birth to me for so many years. Could it be because of Madam...well..."
Shen Tianshu stuffed Shen Yunhui's mouth with snacks, frowned and looked at her: "You are becoming more and more unruly. Have you forgotten everything I taught you? You dare to say anything! Can you listen to others? In the corner, aren't you afraid that there will be people outside listening in the corner at this time?"
Shen Yunhui choked, chewed hard for a few times, picked up the tea cup, drank the snacks in her mouth, and then said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of being here with eldest sister!"
"You can't be so casual. If you develop a habit, it will be difficult to change it in the future."
"Okay!" Shen Yunhui has been in contact with Shen Tianshu more, and now she dares to show her little daughter's naivety and coquettishness. She whispered, "Actually, I know that my aunt must have some health problems, so the previous The child was lost so easily. My eldest sister helped my aunt nurse her back to health, right?"
Shen Tianshu did not deny that Shen Yunhui's identity meant that she could not be a silly person who was not familiar with the world, and having some brains was not a bad thing.
After Shen Yunhui got the answer, she didn't ask any further questions. She just made a deep note in her mind of Shen Tianshu's kindness to her and Ping Niang. She showed a sweet smile and asked: "Sister, what are you busy with these days? I can't see you all the time." people."
Shen Tianshu had previously focused all his attention on studying the medical records brought back from the Guo family. Now, although the results have been obtained, they have not been able to solve any doubts at all, but have instead involved more mysteries.
And now it was almost time to go to Prince Rui for a follow-up visit, but there was no movement from Li Zian's side, and he didn't know what excuse he should make to go to the palace again this time.
"Sister? What's wrong?" After Shen Yunhui finished speaking, she saw Shen Tianshu in a daze and couldn't help but call out again.
"It's okay." Shen Tianshu came to his senses, "I have been sorting out my mother's previous dowry and some shops and properties recently, so I have been a little busy."
When Shen Yunhui heard that it was this, it was hard to ask any more questions.
The two sisters chatted for a long time, and Minghui suddenly came in from outside.
She didn't expect that Shen Yunhui was in the room at this time. She failed to control her expression well and looked like she was hesitant to speak.
Although Shen Yunhui didn't know what happened, she still stood up obediently and said: "Sister, I'm going back first."
Shen Tianshu stood up to see her off, not forgetting to tell her: "Something big may happen at home recently. You should be honest and spend time with your aunt, and stay away from other things. You are not allowed to listen to things like this." Do it again.”
"Sister, I understand." Shen Yunhui nodded obediently and left with the maid.
Shen Tianshu returned to the house and asked, "What happened?"
Minghui lowered her voice and said: "Today, Madam wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Wuchang Mansion. The content of the letter is not clear at the moment. If the girl wants to know, she can ask someone to take a peek on the way.
"Also, Guan Mao, who was sent to protect Master Yuan Lin, suddenly came back today. After asking to see my wife, they didn't know what they said. Guan Mao has now left the city in a hurry."
"There is no need to read the letter, so as not to alert others. Just ask people to keep an eye on Mrs. Xu's every move."
Now he is just waiting for Mrs. Shen's final blow. Shen Tianshu doesn't want anything to happen to the Xu family again.
"Yes, don't worry, girl, the manpower has been arranged long ago, and there will definitely be no mistakes."
Shen Tianshu opened the drawer, took out a brocade box and handed it to Minghui: "Take this to Xin'an Street and give it to Xie Yan. He knows what to do."
