Chapter 24
At the moment of application, Shen Zi was sitting in front of the window looking at the account book on the table, and she broke out in a cold sweat. In her previous life, she didn't care about these things, but now she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she sees the Shen family's wealth and wealth in ruins.

Ling Shuang sent the steward away, opened the curtain and was about to enter the house when she saw two little girls chattering at the door.

Ling Shuang frowned, looked back at the main room, quickly walked down the steps with her skirt in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and go to work, be careful that the lady will see you, so you won't be punished! "

Ever since Shen Zi came out of Nanfeng Courtyard, Ling Shuang was afraid that someone would disturb Shen Zi, so she asked everyone in the courtyard to go out.

"Is Zi'er still in the house?" With the support of Nanny Yu, Mrs. Xie stepped into the gate of Qinghui Courtyard.

"Ma'am." Ling Shuang hurriedly blessed her body and saluted.

The two little girls were taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I have seen Madam, the young lady is in the room."

Mrs. Xie frowned, and walked towards the main house without saying a word.

Ling Shuang hastily followed to pull the curtain for Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie entered the door and saw Shen Zi sitting in front of the desk, untied her cloak, took the food box from the maid and walked towards Shen Zi, "What time is it, let's take a break! There are still two days to go, Why be in a hurry!"

After dealing with the second uncle just now, Shen Zi was a little tired!
Especially seeing the second aunt's attitude of protecting money, Shen Zi felt even more painful. Based on Shen Zi's understanding of the second aunt... I am afraid that the Shen family will be in trouble for a few days!

Looking up and seeing her mother, most of the pain in Shen Zi's heart disappeared. She resisted the pain in her heart, stood up and laughed, "Why is mother here in such a heavy snowstorm?"

Helping Mrs. Xie to sit down on the soft couch, she also sat on the side. She smiled slightly, "It's rare that father doesn't go to court, why doesn't mother spend more time with father?"

"Your father, it's not like you don't know, you are born to work hard, no, the Minister of the Household Department came and said that you have something to discuss with your father, and you have been busy for a long time." Xie stroked Shen Zi's hair , "Come, try the ginseng soup my mother stewed for you!"

She nodded, watching Xie take out the ginseng soup from the food box and put it in front of her, she took a sip with a small spoon, it was really delicious!

"Why haven't the Gu family's things been sorted out?" Xie asked in a low voice.

Shen Zi lowered her head, took a sip of soup and said, "I've already sorted it out, but there are still a few things that have been sent to the pawn shop by my second uncle, and I'm afraid it will take a little money to get them out..."

"Pawn shop? This second brother is also confused, the family is short of his food and clothing, need to use these things to pawn?" Xie was furious when he heard it.

Her second brother was spoiled by his mother since he was a child, and he usually took all the benefits he could get, and he even dared to steal the things in the house and go out.

Shen Zi knew that her mother was disappointed, she raised her head and squinted her eyes and smiled, "It's not a difficult matter, mother doesn't need to be angry, and with the help of Uncle Yuan and Nanny Yu, are you afraid that my daughter won't be able to handle it?"

She looked at Mrs. Xie with a smile in her eyes, her mother is still there, everything is fine!

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xie couldn't say anything more, so she just took out her handkerchief and wiped Shen Zi's mouth, "Hey! I'm sorry for you, the sons and daughters of the Shen family are not so easy to be."

"Whatever mother said, it is a daughter's blessing to be a mother's daughter." She held Xie's hand and smiled dotingly.

Shen Zi has been mature since she was a child, even when she was young, she seldom showed such a gesture. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xie tapped her forehead, "You! You're the big kid!"

"Didn't you learn this from your mother?" Shen Zi talked to Mrs. Xie affectionately, but endured the pain in her heart.

In this life, she will definitely not let her mother commit suicide!

"I don't know about you yet, I must be holding something bad in my heart!" Xie shook off the handkerchief, and added some ginseng soup for Shen Zi, "Forget it! Forget it! For the sake of being so obedient, I will spare you !"

Shen Zi nodded obediently, "Thank you, mother!"

Mrs. Xie didn't see Steward Yuan waiting in Qinghui Courtyard, and asked, "Why hasn't Steward Yuan come back yet?"

"Uncle Yuan went to redeem something for me, it should take some time before he comes back."

Mrs. Xie is still satisfied with Butler Yuan's ability, she nodded, "Mother can rest assured that he is doing things, but you have to watch your body carefully, don't be too tired, if there is something you don't understand, don't hold back, just Come and ask mother."

"Yes, my daughter will definitely annoy my mother a lot, so mother shouldn't be annoyed at that time!"

Seeing Shen Zi who was laughing with her, Mrs. Xie felt unbearably sad when thinking about what happened to the Gu family last night, fearing that Shen Zi would find out that she was wrong, Mrs. Xie left without sitting for a while.

Not long after, Steward Yuan brought his things into the Qinghui Courtyard. When he saw Shen Zi, he bowed first, and then said, "Miss, I brought back all my things, except for the ruby-studded magpie branch hairpin, the rest are in my house." Here it is."

Shen Zi looked at the things in front of her and couldn't help smiling coldly, they were all good things.

"Have you found out where the hairpin is?" Shen Zi asked with a suppressed voice.

Butler Yuan stepped forward, "Go back to Missy, I found out clearly, it was bought by King Ling, and this old slave didn't dare to go to King Ling's mansion to inquire, so I came back with my things."

Shen Zi thought for a moment, this Ling Wang in his memory has not yet married a wife, but he bought the hairpin as a gift to his sweetheart?But I haven't heard who is Ling Wang's favorite?

Shen Zi remembered that this hairpin was handed down by the old lady of the Gu family, and it was very valuable, especially the ruby ​​in the middle, which could buy half of the houses in Kyoto.

Shen Zi asked, "Uncle Yuan, did you hear that King Ling has a sweetheart?"

Suddenly asked by Shen Zi, Steward Yuan was stunned, and said after a long while, "I have never heard of it. It is rumored that there is a son next to King Ling, who is inseparable with him. They say... they say... King Ling has Longyang." Great!"

When Shen Zi heard this, her face blushed instantly, although she was a human being in two lifetimes, she was still an unmarried girl.

But it's good if people have preferences, everything is easy to talk about!

Shen Zi turned to Yuan Guanjia and said, "I wonder if there are... are there any valuables in the mansion, which can be comparable to that gemstone hairpin?"

Steward Yuan instantly understood Shen Zi's meaning, "I remember that there are hundreds of years of human body and precious medicinal materials such as velvet antler in the storeroom, as well as ten altars of tiger whip wine. Do you think these are enough?"

Shen Zi tapped on the table, and immediately said after thinking, "Uncle Yuan, write a post and send it to Prince Ling's Mansion, saying that we will go to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."

pay a New Year call? ?Butler Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that according to her seniority, the eldest lady is indeed King Ling's junior, so she should pay a visit.

Then Shen Zi turned her head and said to Ling Shuang, "Hurry up and take my post, send it to the palace, and tell Yongning that I have something urgent to find her, and tell her to leave the palace tomorrow! Don't talk too much! "

Ling Shuang responded repeatedly, turned around and opened the curtain and retreated with Butler Yuan.
