When Lianniang came in with the food box, she saw Shen Xiu standing at the table and Wei Yan sitting upright.
It was originally a very serious scene, but Lien Niang was a visitor. She only glanced at the couple and realized that the young couple were flirting before she came in.
Lianniang took a deep breath and looked at Wei Yan's delicate facial features under the light, and couldn't help but envy Shen Xiulai.
She is obviously more beautiful than Shen Xiu, so why does the other party have such a progressive and handsome husband, while she only deserves to hang out with an old man like Fan Guangzu?
At that moment, Lianniang felt that God was very unfair, and her jealousy towards Shen Xiu made her almost unable to maintain a smile on the surface.
She dug her nails deeply into her palms, then forced out a slight smile and said: "Ms. Shen has been busy for a long day today, so she must be exhausted! I asked the kitchen to boil some soup. If Mrs. Shen is hungry, you can give her a cushion. Make up for it."
After Lianniang finished speaking, she placed the food box on the table.
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I happen to be hungry. I wonder what kind of soup Aunt Lian made?"
Aunt Lian smiled lightly and said: "It's red date and black chicken soup, specially used to replenish the body of women."
Shen Xiu opened the food box and saw a steaming bowl of red date and black-bone chicken soup inside.
She didn't have as much scruples as Wei Yan, so she picked it up and smelled it: "It smells so good!"
Aunt Lian smiled and said: "That's because the people in the kitchen are good at their craftsmanship." It was an indirect explanation that she didn't make the soup, so you can drink it without worry.
Shen Xiu picked up the spoon and took a sip. The hot soup was thick and fragrant. Shen Xiu felt a lot warmer after drinking this bowl.
Lianniang watched Shen Xiu finish the soup, and suddenly glanced at the cold bowl of soup on the table with the corner of her eye. She said with a somewhat uncomfortable expression on her face: "Why didn't Mr. Wei drink the soup?"
Wei Yan had already picked up a book and was reading. When he heard this, he was about to reply, but Shen Xiu beat him to it and said, "He doesn't like to drink medicinal food. If the soup has medicinal flavor, he won't drink it."
Only then did Lianniang understand, and couldn't help but said: "Then I'll ask the kitchen to make some chicken soup tomorrow."
"No need." Shen Xiu glanced at Wei Yan with a smile and said, "He is very picky. He will only drink some soup made by me. He will not drink the soup made by others."
After Shen Xiu finished speaking, he pinched Wei Yan's ears affectionately, "This guy likes to cause trouble the most to me."
Wei Yan did not retort, but shook his head to prevent Shen Xiu from pinching his ears again.
Aunt Lian saw this in her eyes and said with envy: "The relationship between you and your husband is really good."
"It seems that Aunt Lian also knows that we have a good relationship as husband and wife." Shen Xiu looked back at her, still with a smile on her face, "Then when you enter our room again, please knock on the door to avoid seeing anything you shouldn't see. thing."
She spoke these words without any shyness, and looked at Lianniang unceremoniously.
Lianniang said sheepishly: "I didn't think too much. I heard that Mrs. Shen was back, so she hurried over with a food box. I will pay attention next time."
"I know Aunt Lian feels sorry for me that I leave early and come home late, but you are a guest and you are pregnant, so I don't dare to let you take care of me. If Shopkeeper Fan finds out, he will think that I am bullying you!
And you are pregnant and still going in and out at night. What if you accidentally bump into something and fall?
What's really going on? Shopkeeper Fan thinks I have ulterior motives and wants to harm you! For your own good and my own good, everyone, from now on, let Rou Niang and the others do the work of delivering soup!"
Lianniang blushed at these words and mumbled for a long time before saying, "I understand. I won't come out at night anymore."
"That's good." Shen Xiu looked out the door and said, "Aunt Lian came with Rou Niang, right? I'll ask Rou Niang to take you back!"
Rou Niang was right outside the door. She was not worried about Li Niang coming alone, so she simply followed her. However, she did not come in when she reached the study room.
Shen Xiu gave Rou Niang a few words and asked her to send Aunt Lian back safely.
After the two of them left, Wei Yan said from behind: "Aren't you trying to pull off a beauty trap? Why are you so guarded against her getting close to me?"
Shen Xiu came over and said: "She's not stupid. If I didn't guard her, she would think I did it on purpose. It would be better if she couldn't see or touch her, then she would be itchy and unbearable.
Make some bold moves."
Wei Yan said: "I heard you say it so easily, it seems that the one she covets is not your brother-in-law."
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "I have known one thing for a long time. My husband-in-law is so good-looking, he will definitely recruit a lot of people. Instead of being strictly guarded against others, it is better to concentrate on dealing with you. As long as you have no external intentions, those
I won’t pay attention to the women outside.”
Wei Yan didn't mean this originally. He wanted to say that Shen Xiu didn't pay enough attention to him, but after what the other party said, it turned out that he was easily liked by women.
But it's good that Shen Xiu is so relieved about him. If a woman really stalks him in the future, Wei Yan won't have to explain it to her.
They both had a busy day, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Xiu had just gotten up and before she had dressed up, she saw Wei Yan returning from boxing.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Shen Xiu put on her shoes and asked casually.
Wei Yan said: "I have asked Rou Niang to prepare face wash for you. You should wash up quickly. There is a guest outside."
No wonder Wei Yan came back so early. Shen Xiu called Rou Niang in and asked, "Which guest came so early?"
Wei Yan sat by the bed and took a book from the small table next to him, "It's Shopkeeper Fan's wife who's here. You can think of how to explain to her while you're washing up!"
Mrs. Huang came to the door.
Shen Xiu secretly scolded Fan Guangzu for not doing things well and letting Huang know about it so quickly.
However, complaints are complaints, and things that should be solved must still be solved.
Shen Xiu washed her face in a hurry, put her hair into a bun casually, and went out to see Mrs. Huang without even wearing any jewelry.
Mr. Huang was sitting on a chair in the flower hall, with a trace of anger on his face.
When Shen Xiu came in, before she said hello, Huang said in a strange tone: "Sister, you are really a busy person. I have been to Jinxin Embroidery Square several times, but I haven't seen you. I asked that dead man, and he said he didn't
I know. I have no choice but to come to your house to block you."
In the past two days, Shen Xiu has indeed been at the Nishang Embroidery Workshop more. Huang didn't see her, which is normal.
It was just this tone that made Shen Xiu a little unhappy.
"It turns out that my sister-in-law wants to see me. In fact, I am at the Nishang Embroidery Workshop. I don't know why Shopkeeper Fan wants to hide it from you."
Huang said: "Why did he hide it from me? Mrs. Shen, you should know it! I originally thought that we were all women, and you should be on my side. I didn't expect that you helped him hide people. You helped her
At that time, did you ever think that you would be sorry for me?"
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law said something wrong. We are all women, so we should help each other. But that day when I first arrived at Jinxinxiufang, my sister-in-law didn't trust me and specially sent my brother to do the accounting. Is there something wrong with this matter?
Right!"
"We are both women, but sometimes we may not be able to open our hearts." Shen Xiudao, "Although Shopkeeper Fan has some problems, he trusts me very much. When there is any problem, the first thing he thinks of is me. If it is my sister-in-law,
If he trusts me so much, I won't get into trouble with my sister-in-law."
Mr. Huang was originally angry, so he spoke very rudely.
But when Shen Xiu mentioned the matter of inserting people, Huang's anger was almost gone, and she hurriedly explained: "That matter is indeed my fault. I hope you don't take offense, sister."
"If I were offended, I wouldn't tell my sister-in-law." Shen Xiudao said, "As soon as my sister-in-law came over, she accused me indiscriminately. It was obvious that she didn't trust me."
Mrs. Huang hurriedly said: "I don't distrust you, I'm just angry. Who would have thought that the foreigner was pregnant, and that dead man actually hid it from me."
Shen Xiudao: "If my sister-in-law trusts me, she should know that I help Shopkeeper Fan hide people, and I must have my intentions."
"My sister-in-law also knows how the outsider helped outsiders frame Jinxinxiufang that day. As long as my sister-in-law thinks about it carefully, she should know that I hate the outsider very much. There must be my reasons for taking her in today."
After Shen Xiu said this, Huang's suspicion disappeared and she asked: "Then why did you take her in?"
