Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 593 Entering the Shen Mansion

This time, the attitude of the manager of the Shen residence was even more respectful, presumably because he had inquired about the relationship between Li Xin and Mrs. Shen after returning home, knew that he had offended someone, and rushed to make amends.

He just stood at the bottom of the slope and didn't even mention coming up. He bowed his waist slightly with a flattering expression on his face: "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and offended Mrs. Guan, I hope Mrs. Guan won't be as knowledgeable as the little one..."

Naturally, Li Xin didn't come to see anyone, and it was Xiaobi who was blocking the entrance.

After following Li Xin for a while, Xiaobi also knew Li Xin's temperament, and the people who were timid living here gradually became bolder.At this time, Xiaobi had one hand on her waist, and the other hand was naturally hanging on her leg. After hearing what the steward said, she said with a faint smile: "My wife has a big heart, so naturally she doesn't take these little things to heart."

The steward hurriedly apologized, praised Li Xin a few words, and flattered Xiaobi a few more words, then said cautiously: "I know Mrs. Guan was busy a few years ago, but now the year is over, I don't know what Mrs. Guan is doing." Are you free? My fourth wife asked Mrs. Guan to come over to the house..."

Xiaobi frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and said just now: "You wait here, I'll ask my wife what she means."

The steward hurriedly made a bow, Xiaobi turned around and walked while deliberately muttering: "Madam is not in good health these days, it's safer not to go out for a walk..." The steward was choked to the point of speechlessness.

Xiaobi came back to learn from Li Xin, and said, "Sister Xin, the steward is still down there waiting for me to get back to you."

Li Xin glanced at Xing'er: "It seems that Fourth Shen's wife won't let me go without seeing me."

Xing'er was a little worried: "Otherwise... will I return to her?"

"If you can hide from the first day of the new year, you can't hide from the fifteenth day." Li Xin shook his head, pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaobi, go tell the steward that I will visit the house tomorrow afternoon."

Xiaobi let out a quick "ah" and was about to answer the manager's words. Li Xin called her to stop and said, "Remember to emphasize 'afternoon', just to say that I was sleepy and woke up late in the morning."

Xiaobi should be busy.

Myolie looked at Li Xin and asked, "Are you planning to go in the morning?"

"En." Li Xin said softly: "I went to see Mrs. Shen first, and then I went to see Mrs. Shen Fourth as a matter of course."

Xing'er nodded: "That's good, at least it's under Mrs. Shen's nose."

Li Xin was not so optimistic.

What puzzled her was why did An Xuan have to see her?Isn't she also pregnant, and it's time to have a baby at this time!How does jumping while pregnant do her any good?
Thinking of what Guan Wen told her, Fourth Master Shen didn't show any joy when he mentioned Fourth Wife's pregnancy to him, and he just mentioned it briefly, unlike the pride of a promising father...

Li Xin's movements stopped immediately.

Shouldn't it be...

She shook her head, not daring to think about it anymore.

Guan Wen came back at night, the same frequency as in the past when he rested in the town for a night and then went home for a night.

Li Xin took off the outer cotton coat for him, threw a handkerchief over his face to wipe his face, and just now whispered to him about the fact that the steward of the Shen residence came again recently.

"Have you seen Fourth Master Shen recently?" Li Xin asked in a low voice, "Did you find out anything about it?"

Guan Wen frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen's insistence that Li Xin go to Shen's residence.

"Although I've been busy recently, I've seen him twice. I also asked him on the sidelines, but once he talked about the inner courtyard, he kept silent. It seemed to me that he... avoided it." Guan Wen said: "So I didn't ask anything."

Li Xin was faintly disappointed, Guan Wen said: "Sirth Master Shen has matured a lot, with the capital and money given by Master Shen, he can do business freely, and with Master Shen's contacts... I heard that he rarely returns home recently. The one who went to live has always been outside. There are rumors that he has a solitary room outside, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Li Xin opened her mouth in an "oh" shape, Guan Wen smiled and scratched her nose: "Are you that surprised? Those rich young masters are not like this."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Guan Wen, Guan Wen quickly waved his hands and said, "But I'm not like that, I don't have any money left, you're holding on to it, and I'm not a son or brother."

"You're a bad old man."

Li Xin snorted softly, and Guan Wenmang coaxed her softly, before pondering for a moment, and said: "Since you have agreed, tomorrow will follow your plan. I will go in the morning and talk to Mrs. Shen." Let's talk first. I'll go there early tomorrow to see if I can find Fourth Master Shen and make up a cover for him to go back. "

Guan Wen glanced at Li Xin and said, "You don't want to have too much contact with Mrs. Shen Si?"

"Yeah..." Li Xin sighed: "It's not like you don't know, I and her...although we don't know each other very well, but there was always some entanglement, and she was locked up in our house at that time... just not I know what kind of mentality she is now."

After thinking about it, Li Xin still didn't tell Guan Wen the reason for suspecting An Xuan and Fourth Master Shen's discord.If it wasn't what she guessed, then the sewage was really unreasonable.

Li Xin went to bed early at night, got up early the next morning, and went to town with Guan Wen.Xing'er wanted to go too, but Li Xin stopped her and said, "She asked me to go by name, if you go with her, it's not good at all. It's fine if you have Xiaobi with you."

Xing'er was still a little worried, but she couldn't force it, so she just said to Xiao Bi, "Stay with your eldest lady and take good care of her, do you hear me?"

Xiaobi nodded hurriedly, Li Xin laughed and said, "It's the eldest lady and the second lady..."

Xing'er smiled, helped Li Xin into the carriage, and handed in a thick quilt: "Be careful on the road."

Li Xin nodded.

Guan Wen personally sent Li Xin to the gate of Shen's residence. Seeing her go in, he turned around to look for Fourth Master Shen who slept in the brothel last night.

Li Xin came early, but at this time, Shen's residence had already started an orderly day.

The mother-in-law led Li Xin to the main courtyard, and called the little maid to report. After a while, Bi Liu came out and welcomed Li Xin in with a smile.

It was the first time for Xiaobi to come out with Li Xin. Although she felt uneasy, she suppressed it and her face was calm.Li Xin was quite satisfied with her performance.

After entering the flower hall, Mrs. Shen stood up to greet her, and said with a smile, "I was a little surprised to hear that you came. Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Li Xin walked in with a smile, Xiao Bi took off the big cloak outside, walked to Mrs. Shen, and was held by Mrs. Shen.

"This hand is very cold, Bi Tao, bring Mrs. Guan a Mrs. Tang, and let her warm her hand."

Bi Tao hurriedly responded and went to fetch Mrs. Tang, but Li Xin felt a little embarrassed: "Ma'am, you are serious. My body is cold, and it's normal for my hands to be cold."

Mrs. Shen glared at her: "Nonsense, women are inherently yin. If you don't warm yourself up, won't it be even cooler in the shade? There are many problems with women. You don't usually pay attention to it."

Mrs. Shen was complaining, but Li Xin was still touched by the strong relationship revealed inside.

"I'm here today to bother Madam."

"How come, I just happen to be free recently, and there are rules to follow for things at home, so I don't need to worry too much."

Mrs. Shen smiled, and sat on the kang with Li Xin on her arm, and asked Bi Liu to pour tea for Li Xin, then shifted her gaze to Xiao Bi, and said, "I've never seen this girl before."

Li Xin hurriedly asked Xiao Bi to salute Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile: "This is the maid I bought, her name is Bi Er, she is an honest child, and she does things honestly."

Madam Shen nodded and said: "Those who do things must be honest after all." Then she waved to Bi Liu.

Bi Liu understood, took the tipping silver and gave it to Xiao Bi, smiled and pulled her and said, "Hi sister Bi'er, we are really destined, we both have the same name."

Xiao Bi hurriedly squatted down to give a blessing, seeing Li Xin nodding slightly, she just accepted the money and said, "Hello, sister, I don't know sister..."

"My name is Bi Liu." Bi Liu introduced herself with a smile, then pointed to Bitao and said, "That's Bi Tao."

"Hello, Sister Biliu, and Sister Bitao." Xiao Bi hurriedly blessed.Bi Tao and Bi Liu also greeted her.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "The three of you sisters are so destined, so go out and talk about old times. Mrs. Guan and I also chat about home affairs."

Biliu Bitao knew that Mrs. Shen was going to have some private conversations with Li Xin, so she took Xiaobi out to chat, and gave up the space.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Everyone is making fun of me, so why does Madam also make fun of me? You should call me Li Xin."

Mrs. Shen shook her head with a smile and said: "Now your man is also a businessman. Your family has a fortune and you even bought a maid to serve you. Why can't you be called 'madam'?"

Mrs. Shen patted her hand and said, "You just accept it when others call it that. That's right."

Li Xin could only nod his head.

"By the way, I just cared about greeting you, and didn't ask you. What's the matter with you today?"

Madam Shen looked at Li Xin, Li Xin smiled and said, "Why don't you come and chat with Madam if you have nothing to do?"

Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "Of course it's possible. It's just that I think I know you a little bit. You don't like to go out very much. You don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. You must have something to do when you come. of."

Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xin with a smile: "I'm right?"

Li Xin said frustratedly: "Ma'am, you really understand me thoroughly..."

Mrs. Shen laughed loudly: "You used to come to my place for only a handful of days, and you always have something to do when you come back. You can't just come to see me today, right?"

Mrs. Shen said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, don't annoy me and see through you, you have to give in."

Mrs. Shen took a sip from her teacup, and seeing Li Xin take out a piece of paper from her bosom, she smiled again: "I'm right, you are sending me money."

"It's Madam who gives me money every month."

Li Xin smiled, handed the paper full of words to Mrs. Shen and said, "This lady can take it to the masters in the workshop for research."

Mrs. Shen took it, looked at it carefully, and then put it away carefully, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, this business can continue."

Li Xin didn't dare to say anything, and was being humble with Mrs. Shen, when Bi Liu opened the curtain and came in to report: "Ma'am, the fourth wife has come to pay her respects."
