Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 381
"Maybe that's true, I just want to test her!" Shen Quan smiled.

"This is even more strange!" Yao Cunhui stared at him and said, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"I didn't intend to hide it from you!" Shen Quan sighed softly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he kissed her lightly on the cheek and said in a deep voice, "It's the fact that you contracted smallpox! I suspect it has something to do with my fourth aunt!"

"Fourth aunt!" Yao Cunhui was shocked physically and mentally, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

"I have never offended my fourth aunt. She neither needs power nor lacks money. The fourth wife is not qualified to fight for the title. She killed me, so what good is it for her! This, this is too ridiculous!" Yao Cunhui He stammered and said.

She didn't believe this, but she also knew that Shen Quan was definitely not a person who talked nonsense.

"This may not be her original intention," Shen Quan said indifferently: "Maybe she has something to fall into Lu Ying's hands, and that bitch Lu Ying is threatening her!"

"Before your accident, she came to our Xihetang, but did not enter the house, but went to the garden. Mama Li said that it was noon at that time. All the maids and women were resting in the house after lunch, and she sneaked into the laundry room. No one knows what the house is doing! She has a chance to do it! And the Taoist priest who practiced exorcising evil spirits was also invited by her suggestion to the ancestors. It is because of this that I became suspicious. Get in touch. Aunt Si is not a person who believes in these things in normal times!"

"So you think she also wants to give power to the housekeeper, and you say that today to test her?"

"That's right!" Shen Quan nodded: "But it turned out that I was wrong. She was panicked at the time, but subconsciously shook her head and refused. She really didn't want to! Then she has no reason to harm you at all, she can only say She is just a pawn, and there is someone else behind her."

"This must be a big deal! This old master is really capable!" Yao Cunhui sighed softly.

Shen Quan snorted coldly and said: "I thought she had become smarter, but she was even more stupid when she didn't want to! This poisonous woman, if I let her go easily, I'm not Shen Quan. You just need to take care of yourself, and leave this matter to I'll handle it."

Yao Cunhui felt relieved for a while, and nodded.Suddenly her heart trembled, and she hurriedly said: "If, if it's true as you said, they have other plans to get the third aunt away, maybe—"

Yao Cunhui's heart trembled: "Isn't Third Aunt dangerous!"

"Don't worry!" Shen Quan said with a smile, "I've sent someone to protect it secretly! Let's go there tomorrow with a big fanfare, it won't be so easy for them to make fuss about it!"

As soon as Mrs. Lu came out of the mansion, Yao Cunhui escaped a catastrophe. From this point of view, the Taoist's words were not completely unreasonable!On one side is Princess Zhenxi, on the other side is the concubine's wife. It is clear at a glance which is more important. It is reasonable for the Shen family to let the Lu family move out.

After Yao Cunhui got well, he went to see her in person with the prince Shen Quan as a concubine, and left a capable girl around to serve her. He had already done enough favors, and there was nothing to blame.If any accident happened to Mrs. Lu, it can only be blamed on her poor fate, not on others!
Shen Quan could think of this, and the person who designed this matter could also think of it. Basically, Lu's family is not in any danger.

"Third Aunt is not easy, tell your people to be careful, and don't let her have any accidents!"

"Your husband is doing business, what else do you have to worry about!" Shen Quan said, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan really went out to Biezhuang to visit Mrs. Lu, and they brought a lot of food and clothing, as well as many baby products.

These were all prepared by Yao Cunhui as soon as he heard about it a few days ago, everything was complete, and he was not in a hurry.

Yao Cunhui ordered red Polygonum and red dates, and Zhao Chun's three people followed to stay and take care of Lu Shi. He explained to the three of them in detail, and gave some silver taels in private, telling them not to trouble the people around Lu Shi in everything.

All three agreed one by one.

When Lu Shi saw them, he was surprised and happy, his eyes were red, and it took him a while to speak quickly.

Yao Cunhui, Shen Quan, Zhou Nanny and others were really surprised when they saw Lu Shi's condition.

This Zhuangzi is far away from Beijing, and it is not big. On weekdays, few people come here. Only an elderly couple guards a few rooms here. I didn't expect it to be so dilapidated!In the house where Mrs. Lu lived, the doors and windows were not neatly arranged, several tiles on the floor were missing, the paint on the furniture was mottled and peeled off, and the small yard was full of weeds climbing and growing, and it was desolate everywhere.

Yao Cunhui was secretly startled, and unconsciously exchanged looks with Shen Quan.If they hadn't come this trip, in the future Lu would die here with one corpse and two lives, that reputation of being mean and ruthless would never be washed away in this life, and Yushi would even read a book!
"It's a poor place, and the prince, princess and mother Zhou have been wronged!" Shi Lu smiled, trying to get the maid beside her to help her up, but Yao Cunhui and mother Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and stopped.

Yao Cunhui saw that besides her own mother-in-law, Mama Mei, Liu Er, and Ya Er, there were only two daughters-in-law sent by Mrs. Xiao from Zhuangzi, Yao Cunhui quickly asked, "Why are there only these few people? Didn't they come with you?" Did you kill a lot of people!"

Hearing this, Mama Mei raised her eyes to look at Yao Cunhui and then lowered her eyes. Mrs. Lu hurriedly laughed and said, "There are already quite a few people, that's enough! I'll send the rest back! This place It’s small and inconvenient, but it’s crowded when there are too many people, and it’s inconvenient for daily life. Besides, I’m fine, so why do I need so many people to wait on me!”

It's not that Yao Cunhui and Zhou Nanny have never seen women and maids in the inner house bowing down and stepping down. Hearing what Lu said, they couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Those useless ones go away, as long as you can calm down and raise your baby, third aunt, it's better than anything!" Yao Cunhui smiled, and the busy man brought in all the gifts he brought, and said to her with a smile Nanny Zhou and Rhododendron stayed to take care of her.

"How can this happen!" Mrs. Lu was relieved to see that Old Madam Shen and the prince and concubine were still thinking about her, but she was surprised when she heard that Madam Zhou was staying, and quickly declined.

"Third Madam, don't be like this. This is what the old matriarch meant, so you can live with it! Don't worry, the old matriarch also asked me to come and serve me because she saw that my wife is still useful. The old lady will definitely not cause trouble to the third lady !” Nanny Zhou said with a smile.

Red Polygonum and the others are also busy and express that they will serve Yunyun wholeheartedly.

Only then did Lu reluctantly agree with a smile, and after saying a lot of grateful words, she asked Mama Mei to lead Nanny Zhou, Hong Liao and others down to put the luggage.

Mama Mei took the order and looked at Mrs. Wu who was guarding Zhuangzi.

Mrs. Wu stepped forward, stammering and laughing: "Masters, here, there are two spare rooms here, but, uh, there is nothing except beds, furniture, bedding and curtains..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Shen Quan's face immediately darkened.

Yao Cunhui said quickly: "You hire a few people from nearby, and immediately rush to clean the house. Hong Liao, you and Zhao Chun's family will go to the nearby town in a carriage to buy things now! Pick the best ones! Look, Madam Zhou— —”

"That's very good, as the princess said." Nanny Zhou smiled.

Hong Liao and Zhao Chun's family hurriedly responded, but Mrs. Wu still stretched her neck and looked around without moving.

"You mother-in-law don't know what to do, what are you doing here!" Nanny Zhou couldn't help frowning.

Spreading her hands, Mrs. Wu stammered, "Uh, well, you need money to hire someone..."

Everyone was angry and funny, so Lu hurriedly asked Mama Mei to get it.Yao Cunhui stopped, winked at Xiao Xing and said with a smile: "It's because we were negligent!"

Xiao Xing picked up a piece of broken silver from the purse she carried with her and handed it to Mrs. Wu, who took it and left with a happy smile.

Shen Quan then asked someone to go out and call in all the accompanying servants and guards, and cleaned up the yard and the surrounding area.

Yao Cunhui saw that the furniture in Lu's house was dilapidated, and told her that someone would send some new ones from the house tomorrow, but Lu firmly refused, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The princess is kind, I appreciate it! It's just that it seems that I am so inspiring. Frivolous, I feel uneasy. I don’t live for a long time anyway, and the bedding and mattresses are all new, which is very good!”

Only then did Yao Cunhui give up.

Originally, Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan planned to stay in Zhuangzi for one night and then go back tomorrow, but it was obvious that they couldn't live anymore. In the afternoon, it was seen that everything was almost arranged, so Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan bid farewell and left.

Before leaving, Yao Cunhui explained a lot to Hong Liao, and left five hundred silver bills for her; he also called Mama Mei and told her to tell her what she needed and what she lacked. Let the third lady be wronged.

Mama Mei quickly agreed, feeling very upset while being grateful.

Lu Shi was sent to this place in a desolate way, and she had resentment and hatred towards Yao Cunhui in her heart, but now that Yao Cunhui is like this, she doesn't know what to do.

On the way back, both Yao Cunhui and Shen Quan were not in a good mood.Third Master Shen and Mrs. Lu are the ones who have the least right to speak in Shen's mansion. They all know that, who said that he is the only one who is a concubine?Third Master Shen himself is also weak and timid!This is also impossible.

But what they didn't expect was that their situation would be so bad.

It can be seen that Sanfang's life is very difficult.

Yao Cunhui couldn't help but glanced at Shen Quan. If one day she was treated like this, Shen Quan might have the intention to kill someone.

"Since we've come out, why rush back? Hui'er, shall we go to Xinghualing?" Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Shen Quan hugged her and said with a low smile.

Yao Cunhui's eyes lit up, he nodded and smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go to Xingling Village to stay overnight, just in time to go to the fields to see how the cotton is growing!"

Shen Quan chuckled and kissed her forehead lightly.

In the afternoon of the next day, the two returned to the house.There was a tacit understanding, neither of them mentioned Lu's situation in front of Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xiao, so as to save the two of them from feeling uneasy.

Soon it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Shen residence became busy again.

This time there was nothing wrong with Yao Cunhui, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Shen, and Shen Quan did not allow her to touch her hands, and ordered her to stay in Xihe Hall to recuperate.
