Chapter 41: Come to the door

It was noon when the sun rose, and the Gu family's yard was still quiet because Miss Gu was sleeping.

Mrs. Lin lifted the curtain and looked at her daughter sleeping soundly. She couldn't help but show a loving smile on her face, waved her hand to the mother in charge, and the two walked out of the house gently.

When she returned to the room, Mrs. Lin sat on the big kang next to the window and started to do needlework. There was obviously a case pressing on her head, but when she looked at Zhuzhu, she often felt the years were quiet, and she seemed to feel safe and soundly reunited with the master.

Mrs. Lin touched her lower abdomen. If it goes well, she will have a small child at home next year. Zhuzhu is as kind as that, she will definitely like this younger brother or sister.

"Madam," the manager's mother came in and whispered, "There was news from outside that there was movement in the government office, saying that Lord Wei had come to Taiyuan Prefecture."

Mrs. Lin slipped in surprise and almost stabbed her needle. Lord Wei appeared at this time, was there any progress in the case?

"Let me ask if something happened?" Mrs. Lin ordered very alertly.

The manager's mother responded.

Mrs. Lin put the needle and thread back into the basket. She knew in her heart that her mother might not be able to ask anything. Not to mention that Lord Wei is famous, Cui Zhen's repeated reminders have made her feel scared of this Mr. Wei.

Mrs. Lin subconsciously said, "Let the guard guard the gate." After saying that, she immediately regretted it. After hearing too many words from Cui Zhen, she became suspicious. Can Lord Wei still come to the door? Their family is full of female relatives. Is there anything precious? How can that sentence be said...

No honey attracts colorful butterflies and bees.

Mrs. Lin felt much more at ease when she thought of this, and raised her head to the manager's mother: "I don't need to pay attention, I'd better go and find out the news!"

When the manager's mother stepped down, Mrs. Lin picked up the needle and thread again. Baotong picked up a rabbit. Zhuzhu liked it very much and had to hold it in her arms if she had nothing to do. She made a slightly larger purse and asked Zhuzhu to put some grass leaves and dried vegetables to tease the rabbit.

The manager came to report: "Madam, Mrs. and Miss Second are here on Wednesday."

"Welcome people to the main hall!" Mrs. Lin stood up and brushed her dress. She had never seen the Zhou family again since Jinta Temple. How could the Zhou family come to the door today?

Zhou Ruzhang looked around at the small courtyard of the Marquis of Huaiyuan. It seemed that the rumors she had heard before were correct. The Marquis of Huaiyuan would soon be unable to hold on. Otherwise, how could he live in such a shabby place? He would have to rely on the help of Dingning Hou to survive in secret.

Not only the Cui family, but also the in-laws have to rely on Dingning Hou. It is really not easy for Dingning Hou to rely on.

Zhou Ruzhang couldn't help feeling angry when he thought of Cui Zhen's mighty and handsome appearance. Unfortunately, Dingning Hou's wife was not lucky. She was once implicated by the reputation of her elder sister, but now she has to face a sick Zhang family. She probably doesn't know what it feels like to be a virtuous wife and a virtuous wife.

If she was asked to marry into the Cui family, she could guarantee that Cui Zhen, Dingning Marquis, will be smooth sailing from now on. As long as Cui Zhen is good to her, what if there are two wife of Dingning Marquis in front?

She didn't have to marry Cui Zhen, she just felt that Cui Zhen was so pitiful. This was what the Zhou family owed Cui Zhen, so there should be some compensation.

Zhou Ruzhang thought about entering the main hall. As soon as the two of them sat down, Mrs. Lin entered the door.

"lady."

Mrs. Zhou San and Zhou Ruzhang immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Why did my wife come today?" Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Zhou San. She didn't meet with the Zhou family much, but since the last time in Jinta Temple, she had already seen the mother and daughter's thoughts, and she didn't understand. A good lady came to the door to be a concubine with Cui Zhen? Such an anxious self-recommendation was simply self-deprecating.

"Don't you know yet?" Mrs. Zhou San's face changed, "Didn't Dingning Marquis' Mansion send news?"

Mrs. Lin was a little stunned: "No, what happened?"

Mrs. Zhou Wednesday seemed a little disappointed. It seemed that the wife of Dingning Marquis' Mansion and Mrs. Lin were not as close as they thought. They came here this time to use Mrs. Lin's oral message to the Cui family. This situation made her a little discouraged...

Even so, I have to continue talking. Mrs. Zhou San said: "The Wei family arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture and quietly took down the Tongzhi of Taiyuan Prefecture, used lynching, beat Lu Tongzhi to the point of being broken, leaving only half of his breath, but he did not find any mistakes and was released like this."

Mrs. Lin felt her spine numb when she heard it.

Mrs. Zhou Wednesday said: "The Wei family has beaten to death in Beijing, and my wife has heard of it, right?"

Mrs. Lin nodded, but it was all spread rumors. No one knew what the inside story was...

Mrs. Lin remembered: "The Tongzhi of Taiyuan Prefecture you mentioned is Mrs. Cui Si's younger brother?"

Mrs. Zhou San nodded and her eyes were full of concern: "Mr. Wei took over the thief case, and everyone in the Taiyuan government office was going to listen to him. He also went to the Cui clan to take away Mrs. Lin's mother and wanted to thoroughly investigate the burning of the Cui family's ancestral tomb."

Mrs. Lin understood that this was the purpose of Mrs. Zhou San’s trip. Mrs. Zhou San wanted to speak for the Cui family so that the Cui family would not be caught by Mr. Wei.

Mrs. Zhou San sighed: "There are many rumors in the city that the Cui family criticized Rujun, but we all know the kindness of the Zhou family. Every time my old lady mentioned this, she would cry and said that Rujun was a lucky child.

If our Zhou family does not stand up and speak for the Cui family at this time, we will be really uneasy."

Zhou Ruzhang also nodded.

Mrs. Lin did not speak immediately, and reached out to pick up the tea to drink. Perhaps because she was pregnant, she was unstable and she was very disgusted with Mrs. Zhou San. The Zhou family wanted to climb up with Cui Zhen and took Zhou Rujun out to use it. This food was really ugly.

The room was quiet for a moment and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Mrs. Zhou San frowned. What happened to Mrs. Lin? Can't you understand what she meant? No wonder the mansion of Huaiyuan was declining. Mrs. Huaiyuan was clearly a piece of wood.

Mrs. Zhou San thought about it and picked up the tea. As soon as the tea bowl was approaching her mouth, she heard Zhou Ruzhang screaming.

Mrs. Zhou San immediately frowned and looked over. Zhou Ruzhang stood up and threw the colorful small cover bell in his hand on the low table.

"What... are there inside?" Zhou Ruzhang pressed his lips with a veil, and his face was full of disgust and disgust. She just opened the gauze and tasted the tea. She felt that the tea smelled a little strange, so she lowered her eyes and looked at it. It didn't matter when she saw it, and she almost vomited it out.

There were a few grass leaves floating on the tea soup, and some pickled things.

The mother next to Mrs. Lin walked over to see it quickly, and was stunned when she saw the things in Xiao Gai Bell.

What's going on?

Isn’t it Shang Hao Longjing? Who added additional ingredients to Miss Tuesday’s bowl?

The manager's mother looked at the door and a pink embroidered shoe shrank to the side, but she still recognized it as the eldest lady.

"Miss?" the manager asked tentatively.

The foot took a half step back again.

The manager's mother breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a eldest lady.

Mrs. Zhou San lowered her head and looked at her tea bowl. Although it was clean inside, she no longer had the interest in tasting tea. When she heard the Lin family manager's words, she also understood in her heart that it was the fool who was causing trouble again.

Mrs. Lin looked at the door and said softly: "Zhuzhu, did you throw the grass leaves into the tea bowl?"

"Rabbit, Rabbit..." Gu Mingzhu stopped hiding this time, got up and pointed to the tea bowl beside Zhou Ruzhang.

Zhou Ruzhang rinsed his mouth, but still felt a churn in his stomach. The fool said that he would let her vomit, so how could she vomit?

"Make my wife and the third lady laugh," Mrs. Lin explained to Mrs. Zhou San, "My family has newly raised rabbits recently, and I think grass leaves are good things."

Why did that fool come to harm her every time? Zhou Ruzhang wanted to say something else, but was looked at by Mrs. Zhou complained.

Mrs. Wednesday said: "It must be Zhuzhu playing with you."

Zhou Ruzhang's eyes were red. When did she suffer such grievances? How could she just reveal it?

Mrs. Zhou San urged Zhou Ruzhang: "What are you still standing there? Come and accompany Zhuzhu."

Not only can you not have an attack, but you have to smile. Think about Cui Zhen... Zhou Ruzhang clenched his handkerchief and walked towards the door. Unexpectedly, after just two steps, the figure at the door suddenly moved, and ran past her like a gust of wind, sitting on the chair next to Mrs. Lin.

Zhou Ruzhang was froze there, and it took him a long time to look back. He saw Gu Mingzhu shaking her legs and eating osmanthus cake from the plate.

Zhou Ruzhang had no choice but to walk back to his seat, and a rage in his body made her chest hurt.

Mrs. Lin was afraid that Mrs. Zhou San would mention what happened just now, so she spoke first: "When will Mrs. Zhou San be ready to return to Beijing?"

"No hurry," Mrs. Zhou San smiled, "We have something else to do when we come to Taiyuan Mansion this time." This should not have been said, but if you are seriously ill, you have to take medicine.

Mrs. Wednesday said: "We fell in love with two farms in Shanxi and were about to buy them. We originally wanted Mrs. Lin to take a look. Mrs. Lin is an expert, and the two farms are next to Mrs. Tai... The land of Mrs. Tai is said to be good in Feng Shui, and it was a dowry brought from her parents' home."

Gu Mingzhu understood everything when she heard this. Mrs. Zhou San was using wealth to attract Mrs. Lin’s favor. Mrs. Lin also liked the two farms bought by the Zhou family. In addition, the Feng Shui treasure land could not arouse Mrs. Lin’s interest. If Mrs. Lin wanted the Zhou family to give it to her, she would have had a relationship with the Zhou family.

The Zhou family has put a lot of effort into making a Cui Zhen.

However, when buying a house at this time, and it was next to Mrs. Lin's land, would there be any mystery? The Zhou family's female family came to Taiyuan Mansion to send clues made her feel a little strange.

Gu Mingzhu was thinking about it, but when the manager came to report: "Madam, the miracle doctor invited by the Marquis in the capital has arrived."

Mrs. Lin was delighted. The Marquis mentioned in a letter that he met a miracle doctor in Beijing and finally invited the miracle doctor to treat Zhuzhu.

"Come to the inner courtyard quickly, I will bring Zhuzhu over here."

Mrs. Lin was about to apologize to Mrs. Wednesday, but the manager who had just left returned, holding a post in his hand.

"Husband...Madam...Wei...Mr. Wei has posted a post to visit."

"Ah!" Mrs. Lin suddenly heard the bad news and didn't react for a while. Why did the Wei family come to the door?

This is unlikely, are you mistaken?

Mrs. Lin took the famous post and opened it to see that it was written with Master Wei San's name and his private seal.

"Can't see you," Mrs. Zhou said immediately, "Madam, you'd better find an excuse to refuse. If Lord Wei doesn't like someone else, he will take the person away casually... it's really amazing." No one wants to be beaten to death for no reason.

Mrs. Lin swallowed, and she seemed to have no reason to refuse Lord Wei, and Lord Wei could not just stop him!

Mrs. Lin ordered the manager: "Please invite someone!"

Wei Yuanchen and Doctor Sun walked into the Gu family one after another. The Gu family's small yard was silent, and no one dared to look up at the Lord Wei.

Wei Yuanchen's blue robe was spotless, his face was frosty, his eyes were deep, his figure was straight, and his every move was filled with inhumane indifference.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but shudder when she saw it.

"Madam Huaiyuan Marquis." Wei Yuanchen stepped forward and saluted.

"Mr. Wei." Mrs. Lin immediately returned the greeting and asked Wei Yuanchen to sit in the room.

When the servant brought the tea up, Mrs. Lin's eyes fell on the tea bowl. She wanted to uncover the lid and see if the beads were put into the inside.

"I wonder what happened to Lord Wei when he came to Gu's family?" Mrs. Lin pursed her lips and spoke.
