Since Huang said she wanted to make peace with Fan Guangzu, she no longer talks to Fan Guangzu and doesn't care about his whereabouts.
Fan Guangzu was coaxing him with nice words at first, but as time passed, he lost his patience.
Therefore, Fan Guangzu simply did not go home these two nights, but went to Lien Niang's place.
Mrs. Huang has given up on Fan Guangzu, and she doesn't care at all now whether he comes back or not.
When Shen Xiu came to the door, what she saw was the disheartened Huang family.
Huang raised her eyes and saw Shen Xiu, her body only moved slightly, "What are you doing here?"
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, how come my sister-in-law has lost so much weight?" Shen Xiu asked with concern.
Mrs. Huang twitched her lips: "You don't have to pretend to care about me. Before I arranged for my brother to be the accountant, I'm afraid you already disliked me. Now that you see me like this, I'm afraid it's not too late to be happy!"
Shen Xiudao: "Sister-in-law, you look down on me too much. Although I am not that big-hearted, I don't take pleasure in others' misfortune. As an outsider, I can't interfere in the affairs between you and Shopkeeper Fan. Of course, I have no way to come here today."
Not just to see you, sister-in-law."
When Mrs. Huang heard Shen Xiu's sincerity, she believed it, "Then why did you come today?"
"I came here because of the foreign wife." Shen Xiudao: "Sister-in-law, don't you think it's strange? Shopkeeper Fan was originally a henpecked person, but now he is willing to abandon you, his wife, for a woman."
"What's so strange about this?" Huang laughed at herself: "Aren't all men like this? They love the new and hate the old. They become restless when they have some money."
"Sister-in-law is right. If Shopkeeper Fan just likes the new and hates the old, then I won't meddle in other people's business. But the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. I always feel that this outer room is strange."
Huang looked at Shen Xiu with an expression on her face, "What's weird?"
Shen Xiudao: "If she were an ordinary woman raised outside like this, she would definitely want to seek status. But shopkeeper Fan told me that this outsider does not seek status at all."
"Furthermore, the silks and satins used in the embroidery workshop were originally provided by the cloth shop. But in the past few days, shopkeeper Fan, under the instigation of the outer room, no longer used the silk and satin from the Fucheng cloth shop, but changed it to a surname
The silk and satin provided by Qin’s merchants.”
"Although there is no problem with the silk satin for the time being, I think this matter is not simple."
"What do you mean by that? What's not simple?" Mrs. Huang couldn't sit still. She and Fan Guangzu were quarreling because she had given up on Fan Guangzu and didn't want to see him again.
However, the embroidery workshop is the ancestral property of the Fan family. If nothing unexpected happens, the embroidery workshop will belong to her two sons sooner or later. Now that she heard that someone was planning to touch the embroidery workshop, Huang's heart, which was originally like a dry well, immediately began to waver.
.
Anyone who dares to touch her son's things will be in trouble with her.
What Shen Xiu was most afraid of was that Huang didn't respond. Now looking at her like this, he knew that he had touched her weak spot.
"The business of Jinxin Embroidery Workshop is getting better and better now. In our eyes, this is a good thing. But in the eyes of some people, they feel that our embroidery workshop has taken away their business. I guess, Fan
The shopkeeper's outer room may have been brought in by someone with intentions to destroy the embroidery workshop."
"You said that, have you guessed who the other party is?" Huang asked.
Shen Xiudao: "This is just my guess. I'm not sure who the other party is. But one thing, I can be sure that there must be something wrong with Shopkeeper Fan's outer room."
When she heard that there was a problem in the outer room, Huang couldn't help but sneer and said: "Fan Guangzu is not very capable, but he causes a lot of troubles. I want to see what he will say when he knows that there is a problem in the outer room.
.”
"Sister-in-law, I think it's best not to tell Shopkeeper Fan about this."
"Why?" Huang asked puzzledly, "If you don't tell him, how can you make him watch out for that outer room?"
Shen Xiudao: "Let's not talk about whether Shopkeeper Fan believes in us or not. Even if he really believes in us, if there is a slight leak, the outer room will notice something."
"I have an idea. Let's hide it from Shopkeeper Fan first, and wait until the outsider reveals her fault, and then we can catch her. Shopkeeper Fan will definitely feel guilty and regretful by then, and you can give him a good scolding, sister-in-law.
"
Huang thought for a while and said with a smile: "You are right, people like Fan Guangzu should be taught a lesson." After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "You helped me like this. I didn't believe you before. I feel really ashamed when I think about it."
.”
Shen Xiudao: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Trust is built up slowly. As long as sister-in-law trusts me on this matter."
"Of course I believe you." Huang said: "When the embroidery shop was about to close down, I thought I had seen through the world. Unexpectedly, after the business of the embroidery shop was good, my man built an outhouse behind my back.
To tell you the truth, after thinking about it these past few days, I feel that this man is really unreliable. When there are difficulties, you will never abandon him to tide over the difficulties. But when the situation is a little better, he will forget about the relationship between husband and wife and turn around to say goodbye.
The woman makes love to me."
"If it weren't for the sake of my two sons, I really don't want to have to deal with the embroidery workshop anymore." After Mrs. Huang said this, she sighed, "Compared to this man, you are more reliable as a girl. In the beginning, this embroidery
You were the one who set up the embroidery workshop. I didn't trust you in the middle, but you didn't care about the past and still devoted yourself to the embroidery workshop. Don't worry, I will definitely trust you in the future."
Shen Xiu smiled lightly and said: "Sister-in-law, just trust me. I came today not only to tell my sister-in-law about this matter, but also to ask her to do me a favor."
"What help?" Huang said hurriedly: "As long as I can help you, I will definitely help you."
"I want to see Shopkeeper Fan's outer room." Shen Xiudao.
Huang was a little confused, "Why do you want to see her?"
Shen Xiudao: "I think there is something wrong with the outer room, but I always feel a little uneasy when I don't see anyone. Let me tell my sister-in-law honestly, I want to find out her details. As long as my sister-in-law tells me where she lives, the rest
I won’t bother my sister-in-law anymore.”
Huang said: "She lives near Qingzhu Lane in the east of the city. That damn ghost rented a house for her there. There is a big willow tree at the door."
There was an alley close to the main street near Qingzhu Lane. Shen Xiu walked around in it for a while and then saw a house with two entrances. Just as Huang said, there was a big willow tree planted at the door.
She straightened her clothes, then stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.
The person who opened the door was a servant. She looked at her curiously and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "I came to see Shopkeeper Fan. I heard that he has been living here recently, so I came to ask."
"Master is not here today, please come back another day!" The maid was about to close the door, but was stopped by Shen Xiu.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Fan has newly married an aunt. If I can't see Shopkeeper Fan, I might as well meet this Aunt Lian."
The maid was still hesitant, but Shen Xiu had already walked in and raised her voice: "Is Aunt Lian at home?"
