Before Shen Xiu could wait for Luo Gong to come back, Liu Hao came back.
Xie Sanniang also brought her child over to thank Shen Xiu.
When Shen Xiu saw Liu'er, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Magistrate Zhen would release Liu'er so quickly.
But after Xie Sanniang and Liu Hai left, Shen Xiu broke out in a cold sweat.
She has met Magistrate Zhen a few times, and aside from the things he did to her, this person is not simple at first glance, and he is also very shrewd.
If the child was really involved in the case, Magistrate Zhen would not joke about the murder even if he wanted to see her again.
But Liu'er was released so quickly, which means Liu'er was not involved at all. Since he was not involved, it was delayed until now.
The reason is self-evident.
Shen Xiu took a deep breath and decided to keep a distance from the other party in the future.
Not to mention that she is already married, not to mention that Magistrate Zhen is just looking for a substitute. With her temperament, even if she is not married at the moment, she will not like to be someone else's substitute.
After Shen Xiu made this decision, she did not dare to take it lightly and tried to reduce the number of times she went out as much as possible.
She stayed at home all day and embroidered the wisteria screen in her spare time, so she finished the screen in less than ten days.
When Laisheng came to pick up the embroidered screen, he saw Lonicera alone in the shop, so he asked casually.
Ling Dong said: "Our boss is feeling a little uncomfortable these days, so he stayed at home."
This was Shen Xiu's excuse to stop Lonicera. Lonicera took it seriously and told Laisheng again.
Lai Sheng transported the embroidered screen back to the county government office. This embroidered screen was specially made by Magistrate Zhen. Lai Sheng did not dare to make the decision, so he asked Magistrate Zhen where the embroidered screen should be placed.
Magistrate Zhen said without even thinking: "Just put it here!"
The place where Magistrate Zhen is staying now is the meeting hall, where cases are handled and offices are held.
Laisheng thought that Magistrate Zhen would order him to put the embroidered screen in the Nuang Pavilion next to him, where Magistrate Zhen rested.
But I didn't expect that Magistrate Zhen would put the embroidered screen in the meeting hall.
Lai Sheng did not respond, but hesitated for a moment, but before he spoke, Magistrate Zhen glanced at him lightly.
This glance made Lai Sheng swallow back all his unsaid words.
He bent slightly and walked out, then called two government servants to carefully carry the embroidered screen to the meeting hall.
After Magistrate Zhen finished handling the official business at hand, he raised his head and took a look.
The embroidered screen is embroidered with wisteria flowers, but unlike the wisteria flowers embroidered on the tent, the wisteria flowers embroidered here are more unique. Although not so gorgeous, the color is light and elegant, adding a bit of charm.
Magistrate Zhen stared at the wisteria embroidered screen for several times, and soon remembered an old incident.
His late wife, Wan Niang, was not proficient in needlework, and it would take her half a year to sew a sachet for him.
One year when the wisteria flowers were in bloom, the two of them were admiring the flowers together. Wan Niang suddenly lamented that the flowering period of the wisteria flowers was too short, and the petals withered in just a few days.
Magistrate Zhen comforted her and said that she could draw the wisteria flowers and then find some embroiderers to embroider a screen according to the pattern, so that she could see the wisteria flowers all the time.
It's just that Magistrate Zhen was not good at meticulous painting, and later something happened at home, so he didn't start painting for a long time.
By the time he finally finished the pattern, Wan Niang's illness had become worse day by day.
At that time, Magistrate Zhen was busy seeking medical advice, so until Wanniang passed away, she did not see the embroidered screen of wisteria flowers.
Because of this matter, Magistrate Zhen felt that he had always been ashamed of her and could not even satisfy her little wish.
Now seeing the wisteria embroidered screen in front of him, Magistrate Zhen couldn't help but think of the passing Wan Niang.
After Wan Niang passed away, he was in pain and wished to live. But no matter how painful he was, Wan Niang's voice and smile became increasingly blurred year by year.
Now that ten years have passed, Magistrate Zhen thinks back and finds that he can't even remember what Wan Niang looked like.
It wasn't until the appearance of Shen Xiu, a young lady who was 89% similar to Wan Niang, that Magistrate Zhen remembered the face deep in his memory.
It is precisely because of this that Magistrate Zhen did not hesitate to create various opportunities to see the other party more times.
But when they first met, his gaze was probably too obvious, and the other party was obviously wary of him.
When Magistrate Zhen saw the other party again, he had no choice but to try his best to hide it.
It's just this little cover-up, but it won't help in the end.
The other party is not only smart, but also as sensitive as Wan Niang.
Magistrate Zhen could see her vigilance and vigilance in her eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh, it was so easy to meet a woman who was similar to Wan Niang, but he didn't expect that she had already married early.
It's really God's will.
After Magistrate Zhen recalled old things, he called Lai Sheng over and asked him if he had seen Mrs. Shen when he went to the shop.
Lai Sheng said: "Ms. Shen didn't go to the shop. I heard she was feeling a little unwell."
When Magistrate Zhen heard that Shen Xiu was feeling uncomfortable, he quickly asked, "Is it important?"
Lai Sheng said: "I don't know either. The female clerk in the shop didn't say much."
Magistrate Zhen originally wanted to ask Lai Sheng to call for a doctor immediately, but then he thought about it and realized that the other party was already wary. If he did this, he might make the other party more resistant.
"How did you go about the matter that I asked you to inquire about before?"
Laisheng didn't expect that he would suddenly change the topic. He was puzzled in his heart, but he still replied: "I have inquired clearly. Luo Xiancheng and Madam Shen have nothing to do with each other. They are just doing business together. In addition,
, Mrs. Shen’s husband and Luo County Cheng are still colleagues.”
Magistrate Zhen frowned slightly when he heard about Mrs. Shen's husband.
As early as when he asked people to inquire about Shen Xiu's identity, he knew that her husband was a boy with a high reputation.
Tong Sheng was nothing, but this Tong Sheng was really not that simple. Not only did he get the top spot in both the county and government examinations, he was also accepted as a disciple by Mr. Meng from Fucheng.
There is no guarantee that such a promising boy will fail the Jinshi exam in the future.
This is also the reason why Magistrate Zhen has not taken any action yet.
If Shen Xiu's husband-in-law was just an ordinary scholar, then he could have had his wife divorced.
But Wei Yan was no ordinary scholar, and Magistrate Zhen had to be wary of him.
He was silent for a while and then said: "Later, in the name of Luo Gong, send some supplements to Mrs. Shen."
"Sir, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" Lai Sheng boldly replied: "If Mrs. Shen talks about this matter after meeting with Luo County Cheng..."
"You don't need to worry so much." Magistrate Zhen said, "There are still a few days until Luo Gong comes back. In these days, just send the supplements. Even if you know about it in the future, you won't guess what I am here."
Moreover, since the two of them have business contacts, it is normal for them to send some supplements. Shen Xiu would not go out of his way to ask Luo Gong.
Magistrate Zhen thought so, but he didn't know that Luo Gong had never sent anything to Shen Xiu.
In fact, the two of them only have simple business dealings, and if something happens, they usually go to Qu Huan to pass the news.
So when someone sent a bunch of supplements in the name of Luo Gong, Shen Xiu found Qu Huan.
Qu Huan naturally didn't know anything about it.
Shen Xiu was extremely puzzled as to who would give her supplements properly and in the name of Luo Gong.
Could it be that someone wanted to do something for Tuoluo Gong but had no way of doing it, so he sent the supplements to her.
