Lu Fenghe patted Shen Nanxun again, "Go to Fushan Hall and don't hurt anyone."
Shen Nanxun responded in a muffled voice.
"The small kitchen of Fuxiantang will no longer be used after the New Year. How come the water leaks out so well?"
Shen Nanxun then said: "I'll go and see it, don't worry about it."
Shen Nanxun walked to the door, and Lu Fenghe spoke again, "Come and talk to me after you've seen it."
"Um."
After Shen Nanxun walked out of Bailuyuan, he felt that his violently beating heart had settled down. He couldn't understand why Lu Fenghe was so focused on returning home, why did the house make her so unhappy?
It's just that I drank too much wine during the evening meal with my father and uncle, and fell asleep not long after.
He could tell that he was asleep, and he also knew clearly that he was dreaming. He struggled to wake up, but he couldn't move with all his strength.
This dream was like the follow-up to Chenzhou's previous dream that He Niang was gone. He helped He Niang dress up and took He Niang to the bed in the main room of the courtyard where they lived in front of the Buddhist temple.
He wrote a memorial to invite his younger brother's eldest son, Feng Geer, to be sent to the palace the next day. He packed up and returned to the main courtyard, intending to go to hell with He Niang, but when he opened the bed curtain, there was nothing, not even the bed where he had been lying. No wrinkles at all.
Just as he was about to look for it, it was Fu'an's voice that made him escape from that oppressive dream.
When Fu An said that the kitchen in the backyard was leaking, he didn't even have time to put on his cloak. He put on his shoes and walked directly towards the parapet. It was Fu An who caught up and put on the cloak for him.
It wasn't until he opened the door to the west wing, heard Lu Fenghe's voice, lifted the bed curtain, and saw the vivid Lu Fenghe that Shen Nanxun's uneasiness eased a little.
Shen Nanxun was almost at Shanfu Hall when he met Fu'an and Shoukang who came in from the second door.
"how's it going?"
Shoukang first sent someone to Shanfutang to check, "I discovered it early, but there was a lot of firewood in the small kitchen. It has not been used for a long time. The mother-in-law was lazy and the water tank was almost empty."
In order to prevent water leakage, the government's regulations require that small kitchen water tanks must be filled with water regardless of whether they are in use or not.
"The kitchenette is almost a little late. Only the window screen of the side room in the main room is burned and the wall is blackened."
"Where's mother?" Shen Nanxun asked.
"The small kitchen is at the back and west end, and the princess's bedroom is in the east room. I just received some shock."
Shen Nanxun thought of what Lu Fenghe muttered, "Why is the water leaking? Isn't the small kitchen useless?"
Shoukang lowered his head before he could investigate.
Shen Nanxun waved his hand, "Go and check."
Shen Nanxun thought of what his mother had done before, but it must not be his mother who set the fire in order to say that the Lu family was unlucky and that the Lu family brought disaster.
"Mother-in-law is still at home, please be careful." Shen Nanxun had to remind Kang Shou that if his mother who couldn't hold her hands really yelled like that, she would have to find a way to prevent the words from spreading out of Fushan Hall.
Kang Shou did not fully understand what Shen Nanxun meant, but it did not affect his judgment of what could and could not be said.
The boys in the front yard rushed in with buckets and basins, fetched water from the Bihan Pond, poured out the water, and went back to the front yard noisily.
When Shen Nanxun arrived at Shanfu Hall, Shen Erlang was already there, and so was Butler Gou.
The princess was lying in the back room, crying out loud and feeling palpitating.
When Shen Erlang saw Shen Nanxun coming in, "It's late at night. Someone has already prepared some soothing medicine for my mother. If she still feels uncomfortable at dawn, please call the doctor."
Shen Nanxun nodded, "That's very appropriate."
Shen Nanxun stood by the door of the main room and the east room and greeted a few times.
Fortunately, the princess didn't say anything except that she had palpitations, dizziness, and weakness.
This made Shen Nanxun feel a little more at ease. If it was really a play written and performed by her mother, then she felt that she had already started shouting about it.
Seeing that his mother was fine, Shen Nanxun couldn't stay still. Lu Fenghe was still waiting for him.
Shoukang is a careful person and is best at finding clues.
It was just that it was already dark, and the boys were walking around a lot. Kang Shou walked around carefully and didn't see anything unusual.
Under the corridor of Fuxian Hall, I wish you good health and longevity.
"Master, I smell a hint of kerosene, but it's not strong. I can't tell if it's the smell from the lamp that was just lit or something else."
"It's too dark. There are black footprints and water marks all around. I am incompetent and can't find anything unusual."
Shen Nanxun suddenly thought that Shanfutang was in trouble and Lin Qian was not there yet. This was unusual. Lin Qian was someone who wished she could live in Shanfutang.
"Have the lights been lit in Qinfang Pavilion?"
Kang Shou shook his head, "Never."
"Ask Lu Shun to send someone in and take a closer look, especially the people from Qinfang Pavilion. As soon as the second door opens tomorrow, come in and check."
Except for the master, there is no reason for foreign men to spend the night in the backyard, not even servants or guards.
The second door opened early. If the master wanted to go to court, he would have to go out at the second quarter of Mao. Therefore, the second door must have opened at the second quarter of Mao, but there was movement in the backyard at about Maozheng.
So if Kangshou came in as soon as the door opened at the second quarter of the lunar month, he would have two quarters of an hour.
The two people were talking in the corridor, and the princess's tranquilizing medicine arrived.
The two brothers waited for the princess to drink the sedative medicine, ordered someone to light the sedative incense, said a few words of relief, and then left with the servants.
The two brothers each went back to their respective courtyards, while Fu'an, Shoukang and Gou Guanjia all returned to the front yard.
As for Shen Nanxun's instructions to let Lu Shun send someone in, that means he came in by not taking the usual route, and it didn't matter whether the two doors were open or closed.
Shen Nanxun pushed open the ajar door of Bailu Garden, and the woman on duty as the concierge stood up in excitement.
"Lower the key."
The mother-in-law quickly raised her head and glanced at Shen Nanxun, then locked the courtyard door neatly.
Shen Nanxun gave up the key because he didn't intend to go back to the front yard.
The lamp in the west wing was still on, and Lu Fenghe was talking to Lu Fu.
"Brother Bao, you're not alarmed, are you?"
"I went to see her. She slept well. Cuizhi was with her. I asked her not to get up."
"Exactly, it's business to be optimistic about Brother Bao."
Lu Fenghe asked again, "Then..."
"My lady, please stop talking. My throat is dry and I have to swallow my saliva." Lu Fu continued, "The slaves and maids of Qixia Garden and Jishui Garden have also been there. Several gentlemen and ladies are awake or not, but they are all fine." .”
Lu Fenghe took a mouthful of water and slowly swallowed it several times, "Go to sleep."
"My wife can't sleep."
"Go to sleep, keep the light on."
Shen Nanxun then pushed the door open and entered the room, "Go down."
Lu Fu had an aunty smile on her face, it turned out that she was waiting for her husband, hey, Aunt Xu was right, there is no overnight feud between husband and wife.
Lu Fenghe asked Shen Nanxun, "What's wrong?"
"The small kitchen at my mother's place was destroyed, but the rest is fine."
"How are you, mother-in-law?"
"I used tranquilizing medicine and lit sedative incense. When we left, I was already a little confused by the sound."
Lu Fenghe nodded, "That's good." After saying that, he leaned on the soft pillow. He had been sitting for a long time during the day, and his waist was sore and swollen.
"Go inside." Shen Nanxun said.
Lu Fenghe turned to look at him. He had already walked to the bed and his coat was placed on the screen.
"You...you...I'm still in confinement, don't mess around." Lu Fenghe was shocked.

Shen Nanxun: My wife dislikes me and won’t let me go to bed.
Added update 2.1. I’m tired. Let’s destroy it. I want to be quiet.
