A Poisonous Woman from a Good Story

At this point, Cheng Xiumei realized that Mrs. Shen's account checking was fake, and it was true that she deliberately came to seek bad luck for Shen Lijun's mother and son, so she quickly explained with a smile: "There is a reason for this. Eldest Sister and Sister Lan are fine, Gui My brother's bones have always been weak, and these things are indispensable for daily maintenance of the body, and it is not difficult for us to facilitate them, so we have always provided them like this."

In fact, Cheng Xiumei only guessed one of them. Mrs. Shen may not want to find an opportunity to squeeze out Cheng Xiumei and take over the Shen family's huge family business. Yes, I have no choice but to organize more property for my children.

It's a pity that Zhuang Chengrong's imperial decree to enshrine the Duke excludes their family from the Yongning Hou Mansion. If she wants to take it over forcefully, her name will not be correct, and she will have trouble in the end, so I have to focus on the important things first. Do things, put other thoughts aside for the time being.

After hearing Cheng Xiumei's words, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sneered and said: "Siblings are young after all, haven't they heard that they are poor only if they can't eat poorly, wear poor clothes, and can't count. Our Shen family has a big business, but we can't afford to spend so much. I don’t know how many aristocratic families have been ruined because of the extravagance of their descendants.”

Cheng Xiumei paused for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "It's about relatives after all. If you say no, it's fine. The family's income has exceeded their expenditure these years, so how can we just ignore it? Besides, my mother-in-law also said that day, it's not for my daughter and grandchildren. Let the sons subsidize the reason, the eldest sister will use it every month, and she will subsidize it. I thought that doing so would make us unfilial, so I refused, and the mother-in-law said that I should pay the bill at the office first. By the end of the year, she will always send money."

Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "To be disrespectful, it is very inappropriate for a mother-in-law to act like this. Now a son and daughter-in-law dare not accept her money, so they dare to accept it at the end of the year, but it sounds nice. Besides, The money in her hand is not from the Shen family, but from her own dowry money, we as sons and daughters will have a share in the future. Could it be that her old man gave all of it to the eldest daughter and grandson?"

Although Cheng Xiumei had some complaints about Mrs. Shen's support for Shen Lijun in her heart, but that was Mrs. Shen's own selfishness, and outsiders couldn't control it. Besides, although she didn't like Shen Lijun's mother and daughter, she liked Gui Geer quite a lot, and she was also for him. regretted the situation.Besides, the Shen family really didn't lack that kind of money, so they didn't take it too seriously.

Seeing Mrs. Shen being picky now, Cheng Xiumei didn't want to be troublesome. Anyway, as long as the Duke of Wei's mansion is built, Mrs. Shen's prestigious days in the Yongning Hou Mansion will be over, so she said with a smile: "That's according to Mrs. Is good?"

Mrs. Shen didn't answer, but looked at the ledger and asked, "Why have you spent so much more money in the courtyard these days than usual?"

Cheng Xiumei hurriedly explained again.It turned out that Brother Gui fell into the water that day.Still sick.

In fact, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the water in the pond is not too cold. If an ordinary person suffers from a little cold at most, he can be alive and kicking without even taking medicine. Ben was sweating a little, and then fell into the water and was taken aback.In addition, everyone was discussing whose fault it was, and they couldn't change the wet clothes in time.Therefore, although he drank ginger tea under Shen Lijun's urging and covered his sweat all night, he still fell ill the next day.

Because Cheng Xiumei was asked by Mrs. Shen not to tell her in-laws, she had to secretly invite someone to come to see the doctor. She dared not be stingy with the money for the medicinal materials. She only hoped that Brother Gui would get better as soon as possible. Fortunately, it has really improved in the past few days. .

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen felt sorry for the money that was spent like flowing water, but on the other hand she secretly rejoiced, and said, "Forget it, although I am going to move out soon, but after all, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family. Busy, I have to serve my grandmother and in-laws, I have to take care of the younger generation, and I have to take care of everyone in the house, so I don’t have the energy to take care of the affairs in the yard over there. It hurts to be a sister-in-law, why don't you entrust the affairs of the courtyard to me, and I will take good care of them with me."

Cheng Xiumei didn't believe that Mrs. Shen would have such kindness. Seeing this, Mrs. Shen said, "You have a lot of things to do. If you neglect your grandma and in-laws, wouldn't it be unfilial? If something goes wrong over there, your mother-in-law will be worried. It's also unfilial, in my opinion, I help you a little, it's a way to get the best of both worlds."

Cheng Xiumei had no choice but to agree, but she was really worried about Mrs. Shen, so she sent her confidants to secretly inquire about the news.

After Mrs. Shen got the management right in Shen Lijun's courtyard, she immediately thought of making Shen Lijun feel helpless in front of her son, so she ordered people to stop the high-grade and rare medicinal materials used by Brother Gui, and instead took that It looks bright on the surface, but in fact it is a fake and waits for the goods to make up for it, and then drives the doctor away with an excuse, and replaces it with a quack doctor who can only do things with money.

Because Mrs. Shen did it in a secret way, and those servants who knew about it, although Cheng Xiumei was strict in running the family, never dared to disrespect Shen Lijun's mother and son, but after all, the servants were the servants of the Shen family, and they had to listen to whoever ate. Compared with Shen Lijun's mother and son, Aunt Shen is their true master, so Aunt Shen doesn't allow them to talk too much, and they naturally don't utter half a word, so Shen Lijun and the three of them didn't notice it.

It should be said that Shen Lijun has always acted cautiously, but in the past year, Cheng Xiumei has taken care of them in every possible way, they have long been accustomed to it, and because they know that Mrs. Shen and Cheng Xiumei are at odds, and Mrs. Shen is now a guest. So how could she have imagined that Mrs. Shen, because she hated them so much, would have the cheek to ask Cheng Xiumei for this job as a housekeeper.

As for the change of doctor, Mrs. Shen did not change her method, and Shen Lijun's mother and daughter would probably ask for a change.

It is also mainly because they care about Gui Ge'er earnestly. As the saying goes, "Sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread." In addition, Gui's body is too weak, so Cheng Xiumei can see Gui's brother with the mentality of a bystander. My son's health has improved.

But in the eyes of her mother and daughter, it's not the case. They wish they could drink a bowl of medicine, and Gui Ge'er stood up vigorously immediately, and Kuang secretly hated Cheng Xiumei for being afraid of Mrs. Shen's lust, for her attitude of putting things down. He didn't want to make matters worse, so he only invited a doctor who was sitting outside, but he refused to ask the imperial doctor who had a good relationship with the Shen family to treat him.

Shen Lijun's mother and daughter also complained a lot about this, and they had spoken to Cheng Xiumei many times, both openly and secretly, and now seeing that the new doctor was changed, it was only Cheng Xiumei's fault.

What's more, the new doctor looked confident, and his words were powerful and convincing, so he thought he was capable, and Shen Lijun didn't become suspicious.

But he didn't know that Gui'er's illness was delayed by this, on the surface it looked good, but actually his body was getting weaker day by day, and it was too late when he found out.

When Cheng Xiumei heard the news, she couldn't help feeling heavy in her heart. In fact, when Mrs. Shen wanted to take charge, she had already vaguely foreseen that things would turn out like this.

But she still let the matter develop. On the one hand, it was because she didn't want to have a conflict with Mrs. Shen and make outsiders laugh, but more importantly, she knew that this was probably the result that Zhuang Chengrong wanted to see under several orders, and it was this time. No, there will be a next time.

Thinking that the innocent brother Gui would bear the punishment for Shen Lijun's mistakes back then, but she was powerless and could only be a bystander. Thinking of this, Cheng Xiumei sat in front of the window with a heavy heart.

At this time, Sister Yu came in, and seeing her mother's gloomy face, she was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother's face is ugly now, but what happened?"

Cheng Xiumei was taken aback, seeing that it was her daughter, she couldn't help sighing: "It's nothing, mother just thought of some unhappy things in the past." At the same time, she earnestly warned her daughter: "Now that you are here, don't always focus on the top and be strong when you do things. You must remember: Do not do anything wrong at any time, otherwise it will be a light retribution in this world, and if it is retribution to your children, it will be a heart-wrenching pain."

Seeing her daughter's confused face, Cheng Xiumei couldn't help but smile wryly, this daughter was spoiled by everyone in the Shen family and was too innocent.

She couldn't help thinking of how she saw her daughter and Brother Song when they were chatting with Shen Qiujun before, and Kuang had always liked Brother Song's generosity and gentleness, and she was indeed a bit greedy for him as the future king of a country. So in his words, he revealed the meaning of wanting to marry his children and in-laws.

She remembered that Shen Qiujun was silent for a long time that day, and said: "Yu'er is simple in nature and has always been close to me. I also like her very much. Besides, she and Song'er are compatible regardless of age. If I were Princess Anle, I would be like this." A niece and daughter-in-law, naturally still love her like a daughter, as long as I am here, I won't let Song'er bully her. It's a pity that Song'er is the prince, the future king of a country, not an ordinary princely family, many things are not human I can't control it. I can't guarantee that Song'er will not trust other women after a hundred years. With Yu'er's current temperament, she will either be bullied by other concubines in the future, or her heart will change, for the sake of love, power, and children. I don't know what she will be like in the future, and I don't know what she will bring to the Shen family who just jumped out of the troubled nest. Anyway, there are still a few years before Song'er gets married, so you must think clearly, whether this is good or bad for Yu'er .”

Thinking of how her lovely daughter would spend the first half of her life scheming so hard that her hands were covered with blood in order to gain the sole favor of the emperor's husband in the future, and that she might have to see her children get retribution for her viciousness in the first half of her life, Cheng Xiumei Breaking out in a cold sweat, she asked her daughter, "Yu'er, how about marrying your prince's cousin in the future and going to the palace to accompany your aunt?"
