Chu Nanzhi raised her eyes and looked at Yang Xiaoniang, who had an indifferent expression. She was afraid that this woman now knew Erbao's childish thoughts.
After someone learned their little secret about mother and daughter, Erbao looked calm and relaxed, while Chu Nanzhi, the mother, felt even more ashamed than the little one.
I don’t know how to mention this to the pretty girl.
It's true that the upper beam is out of alignment and the lower beam is crooked. When I was a father, I spent all my time studying scriptures instead of studying scriptures. Now, as a daughter, I already have a deep love for her at a young age.
What a sin.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere in the living room, she deliberately changed the topic quickly.
Originally, she wanted to keep Yang Xiaoniang and her son at home for dinner, but before the words came out of her mouth, Yang Xiaoniang stood up resolutely and already had the idea of leaving: "No, sister, Yunqing is still in mourning period. It will be inconvenient to come out today.
, I just can’t worry about my sister, now that the matter has been settled, the Nu family and Yun Qing will leave first.”
Thinking of the new bereavement in her family, Chu Nanzhi did not dare to force her to stay anymore, and took Erbao to send the mother, son and Xiaofen out of the yard.
Before getting on the carriage, Yang Xiaoniang warned her with a sincere face: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are now famous and honored figures. The Nu family should not say such shameless words, but the Qi family is really not an upright family, even if
At present, their family has lost part of its water transport business, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, so my sister should be more careful. It is easy to hide from open attacks and hard to guard against hidden attacks."
Smiling gently, her dark eyes flashed and she continued: "If you can win such love from your sister and brother-in-law, our Shen family is willing to live and die with you, so if anything happens, you must remember to inform the slave family."
"Okay, I've written it down."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and replied.
Thinking about the bad things that happened to her second wife, although she said it calmly, this woman has always been unwilling to reveal her grievances.
When I was bullied like that by the Han family, I repaid him with kindness.
Looking at the maid beside her with a deep look, Chu Nanzhi warned her uneasily: "You are in charge of the Shen family's business now, so don't wrong yourself. Xiaofen is a shrewd and capable man, and he treats you very well."
Zhongxin, when you encounter trouble, you might as well ask her for advice. With her and Butler Qin helping you both internally and externally, you will be able to relax a lot."
"My sister's words have also been recorded by the slave family."
Shen Yang nodded in confusion, roughly understanding what she meant. Han's incident was enough for her to understand the dangers of the world.
The corners of Chu Nanzhi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a happy smile.
Suddenly, she remembered what Mrs. Han of her family had told her, and asked cautiously: "The previous mistress of your family told me at the county government office that she wanted me to pack a piece of clothing for her and have it burned in front of the head of your family."
"My family has asked someone to keep that piece of clothing. I will burn it for my sister on the Double Ninth Festival. My sister does not need to worry about it."
After Yang Xiaoniang finished speaking, she frowned slightly: "When I went out, I heard my sister's personal guards in the village inquiring about the owners of the pastures and woods at the foot of Nanhua Mountain. I wonder what my sister wants to do with the wasteland over there?"
"Oh, I'm not afraid of Miss Yang's jokes. Now that I've moved to the city, my humble husband has become famous. I'm thinking of renting a pasture and raising some horses for fun."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't tell her his true intention, so he could only make a perfunctory statement.
"My sister's temperament is quite different from that of girls from the water towns like us."
This made Yang Xiaoniang think of Princess She who was famous in the Dahe Empire.
The two of them are really women-like figures.
Secretly signaling to Butler Qin, Butler Qin immediately said with a smile: "Leave this matter to the old slave. Most of the pastures and woods at the foot of Nanhua Mountain belong to our Shen family, and some of them belong to Liu Dahu's family in the neighboring village.
The old slave and the head of the Liu family have known each other for a long time, so taking over those forest lands is not a problem. In a few days, the old slave will take care of this matter for the princess."
"In this way, I will have Lao Qin, the steward."
Chu Nanzhi considered that with the money she had now, it would be no problem to buy the pasture and woodland under Nanhua Mountain.
"Princess, you don't have to be polite."
Butler Qin said modestly.
Chu Nanzhi personally put the Shen family into the carriage, watched them go away, looked at the reluctant little head sticking out of the carriage, then looked down at Erbao, who was smiling like a flower, and hugged the little one angrily.
She stood up, pouted and tapped the tip of her nose heavily: "You are really a little kid."
Er Bao hugged her neck tightly, Li Duo smiled wildly and said, "Auntie, I'm not disobedient, I just don't like brother Yunqing calling you mother."
"Then what do you want him to call me?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced at her with an angry look.
Erbao replied with a smile: "Master's wife, Master's wife is very good, just like my father calls the Chang family's master's grandma."
In this way, Aunt Chang can still like Dad and even want to marry Dad.
Chu Nanzhi shook his head helplessly, this little guy was really full of evil ideas.
After leading Erbao back to the living room, she saw the Luo family's mother and daughter still standing in the hall, refusing to sit down, which put her in a difficult position.
After careful consideration, he had no choice but to compromise: "Lan'er, if you really want to stay with me, you can go to Qinghefang. The restaurant over there is currently short of manpower, but you can only go there to work as a handyman first.
"
After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Your mother can also go there with you."
"Thank you, Princess."
Roland happily handed the three hundred taels of silver notes back to her.
Chu Nanzhi's eyes paused slightly, and he sighed lightly: "Take it, clean up the mess at home before going to the restaurant."
Li was so excited that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
He took his daughter and immediately knelt down and worshiped devoutly: "The princess's kindness to the common people and my little daughter will never be forgotten. Even if my body is shattered, I will repay the princess."
"Okay, okay, it's not that serious."
Chu Nanzhi hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up, told Mrs. Li to collect the banknotes, and asked Sang Qi to send them out of the house.
Liu Yun looked confused. Looking at the mother and daughter walking out, she asked in confusion: "Da Zhi, what did you do today? Why did you go to Tong'an Village and bring back the mother and daughter?
"
I looked at my son-in-law again and found that he was being helped back by someone. The worry on his face was even more serious: "What's going on with Da Lang? Why is his good leg disease getting worse again?"
"Mother-in-law, don't worry. My son-in-law just had a sudden attack of gout. My wife has already taken the medicine for him and he is much better now."
As for the matter about the mother and daughter, it was really hard for him to talk about it.
He was originally going to fight an injustice, but he ended up scheming against someone else's gambling shop owner and bankrupting his entire family. Just thinking about it makes people laugh or cry.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the curious little babies, took back her little box and pretended to be mysterious, pulling Liu Yun to the bedroom.
The mother and daughter sat on the edge of the bed. Chu Nanzhi opened the box and looked at Liu Yun dumbfounded.
Liu Yun asked dumbfounded: "Where, where did so many banknotes come from?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled and said nothing, and was secretly happy for a while before replying: "On behalf of Shu Yang, I have taken back for you all the money that has been tricked in the casino over the years."
Raising her eyebrows, she continued: "You can also include the polite scum of the Han family."
