Doctor Jiang quickly stretched out two fingers and placed them on Lianniang's right hand.
Lianniang bit her lip, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, and did not even dare to look at Dr. Jiang.
Doctor Jiang finished taking the pulse on the right side, then switched to the left side, then stretched out his fingers and said to Shen Xiu: "The pulse is very good, there is nothing wrong with the adult and the fetus."
Shen Xiu smiled: "Thank you, Doctor Jiang. Madam Rou, please send Doctor Jiang off for me."
Lianniang on the side was stunned. She obviously didn't take the secret medicine, so why did Dr. Jiang call out the happy pulse?
"I guess you are thinking, you are obviously not pregnant and you are not taking any medicine, why didn't Dr. Jiang see anything wrong?" Shen Xiu said straightforwardly: "Is my guess correct?"
Lianniang's face changed again, this time she was much paler than last time, "I don't quite understand what Madam Shen means by this."
Shen Xiu smiled faintly and said: "You still don't want to admit it until now. Are you forcing me to tell Shopkeeper Fan?"
At this point, Lianniang finally relented and said: "Now that Mrs. Shen knows, I have nothing to say. It's just that I don't know something."
Shen Xiudao: "I know what you want to say. Did you take a mushroom soup today at noon? I put a drug in that soup. This drug can make a woman's pulse appear slippery, as if she is pregnant. Same."
"So that's it." Lianniang raised her head and said, "Since Madam Shen already knows about my taking medicine, why didn't she expose it to me face to face?"
Shen Xiu smiled slightly and said: "I don't do loss-making business. You used drugs to pretend that you were pregnant, which is obviously a conspiracy. Now that your false pregnancy has been exposed by me, I will naturally use this Something. Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Lianniang whispered: "So what, you won't let me go anyway. Why should I tell you."
"That's not necessarily the case." Shen Xiudao: "If you don't tell me, I will hand you over to Shopkeeper Fan. He has always hoped to have a daughter, but now that hope has failed, how do you think he will deal with you. But if you are willing to tell If you tell the truth, I can always take you in and find you a good husband in the future."
After hearing these words, Lianniang looked at Shen Xiu in disbelief, "Are you really so kind?"
Shen Xiudao: "My kindness is only towards my friends, not my enemies. If you insist on being my enemy, there is nothing I can do about it."
Lianniang didn't speak for a while, she just lowered her head and thought.
Shen Xiu knew that she was weighing the pros and cons and did not rush her.
After a long time, Lianniang finally made up her mind and looked up at Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu quietly waited for her choice.
Lianniang looked at her and asked a question instead of explaining her decision.
"Are you really willing to find me a good husband?"
Shen Xiu smiled, as expected, this was what Lianniang cared about most.
She said sternly: "I always keep my word. I said I would find you a husband, so I will definitely help you do it. I know what you want. The young talents in the world are not only I have a husband-in-law. If you want to find someone who is comparable to him, it will not be difficult to do."
Lianniang's face turned red. She didn't expect that the most secret thoughts deep in her heart had been penetrated by Shen Xiu.
Now that Shen Xiu knew everything, she stopped thinking about it and said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, I had already planned to fly away that day. However, I was captured by Qin Yougui and the others."
"Who are they?" Shen Xiu asked.
Lianniang said: "It's Mr. Gu and the others. I was really a concubine of a wealthy family. I was deceived by them because I was desperate. They had promised me that as long as I cooperated obediently and let Shopkeeper Fan obey my words, they would
Give me a sum of money and let me fly away."
"Who would have thought that they regretted it in the end." Lianniang said: "They forced me to take the secret medicine and pretend to be pregnant so that Shopkeeper Fan would no longer be wary of me."
"Then what is their purpose?"
Lianniang said: "Their purpose is simply to make Shopkeeper Fan's house uneasy, so that they can find an opportunity to deal with Jinxinxiufang."
"But what they didn't expect later was that Shopkeeper Fan didn't take me home, but sent me to you. So they changed their mind and asked me to wait until the time was right, pretend to have a miscarriage, and then frame you.
You and Shopkeeper Fan had a rift, so they took advantage of the opportunity to get in."
These conspiracies are similar to what Shen Xiu guessed.
She expected that Master Gu and the others would not let this matter go easily, and now it seemed that they could only use Lianniang and use some unsavory methods.
"How do you usually deliver news?" Shen Xiu asked after knowing what they were hiding.
Lianniang said: "The doctor that Shopkeeper Fan hired for me has been bribed by them. Every time he comes to diagnose my pulse, he will give me a note."
"Then does the doctor know about your false pregnancy?"
Lianniang shook her head and said, "I don't know. In order to reveal the secret, Qin Yougui and the others did not tell the doctor about this matter."
After hearing this, Shen Xiu remained silent for a while.
Seeing this, Lianniang felt a little uneasy and said tentatively: "Ms. Shen, I have said everything that needs to be said."
Shen Xiudao: "I understand. You go back first and do what you should do next. I want to think carefully about how to deal with them."
I thought about it for half an hour, and the sky darkened unconsciously.
When Wei Yan came in, he saw Shen Xiu sitting in a chair, lost in thought, without even lighting the lamp.
Wei Yan stepped forward and lit the oil lamp.
The sound of a fire sickle igniting a fire awakened Shen Xiu from deep thought.
When she came to her senses, she saw that Wei Yan had already lit the oil lamp. Under the light, his handsome face looked particularly approachable.
Shen Xiu couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't even know when you will come back."
Wei Yan said: "What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
Shen Xiudao: "I didn't think anything of it. It's just that Lien Niang confessed to me." After that, he told Wei Yan what Lien Niang said.
Wei Yan frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect them to have such dirty thoughts."
Shen Xiudao: "Actually, everything in business is like this. But now that they don't have a embroidery shop, they don't have much money on hand, so they are no longer a great threat to me. They can only make some low-end products now."
means."
Wei Yan asked: "Can't this matter be solved once and for all? I always feel uneasy with such a person staring at you eagerly."
Shen Xiudao: "I have already thought of a way. But it will have to wait until after the new year. From now on, you should be more polite to Lianniang. I have already promised her to help her find a husband. But for this matter, I still need to
Your help."
Wei Yan said: "If she really wants to find a husband, she must at least wait until I win the election."
Shen Xiu understood what Wei Yan meant. If he could pass the exam, he would naturally get to know more young talents.
"I think she's not in a hurry. Then we'll wait until you pass the exam."
Wei Yan still had some doubts about Lianniang, "She helped to frame Jinxinxiufang in the past. You have no grudge against her at all, and you are still willing to take her in?"
Shen Xiudao: "How could there be no grudge. It's just that we are all women. From her perspective, she was forced to become an accomplice. If I didn't help her at this time, would I really see her fall into the trap?
Abyss? I don’t expect her to repay me in the future, as long as she does her duty in the future.”
When she said this, she suddenly smiled and said: "But if you are worried, you can test her."
