Chu Nanzhi was grateful to Liu Shuyang for helping take care of Lin Jinxiao, but she didn't expect that the little son-in-law would be so arrogant and say such things in front of the child.
She quickly bent down to comfort Dabao: "Dabao, be good. Dabao won't cry. Your father will be fine sooner or later. We don't listen to other people's nonsense."
But the little son-in-law seemed to be missing a muscle in his brain, muttering to the side: "Brother-in-law, isn't he disabled now? I'm not wrong."
When the second, third, and fourth treasures saw this, they all started crying too, and scolded them while crying.
Erbao scolded me the most: "Hey, uncle, you are the cripple. You use my grandma's money to gamble every day, and you have harmed my grandma and my little aunt. You are the cripple."
Chu Nanzhu originally thought that the child was just playing with his uncle and accidentally pushed him into the water. He never thought that something like this happened in the middle.
After hearing these words, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She put down the child and beat Liu Shuyang hard: "Liu Shuyang, not only do you owe me with your hands, but you also owe me with your mouth. Get out of here."
When Liu Shuyang saw that no one in the family looked down upon him, he was so frightened that he crept out and ran out.
Chu Nanzhi was afraid that he would go gambling again, so she quickly reminded him: "Liu Shuyang, don't forget what you promised in front of your family yesterday."
Liu Shuyang was so angry and annoyed that he ran away without a trace.
Chu Nanzhu didn't bother to pay attention, and followed his second sister Chu Nanxiang to comfort the crying babies.
Xiao Muci stood aside blankly, watching her brothers and sisters howl, but she didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, she laughed stupidly.
Chu Nanzhu sadly took his son to his side. He saw Liu Shuyang diligently serving his brother-in-law this morning. He thought he was about to change his mind, but he never thought that a dog could not spit out ivory from its mouth.
With a guilty look on her face, she comforted the little ones and said, "Don't cry, dears. Your uncle is a big bad guy, and we are not on the same level as him."
After hearing this, Xiaosi Baolin Ruijia was the first to stop crying.
She knew in her heart that for a long time to come, she, her brothers, sisters, and her father would have to stay at her grandma's house, waiting for her grandma to teach her aunt and grandma how to cook before they could go home.
Holding her tears, she pressed herself to Chu Nanzhi and whispered in her ear with a crisp voice: "Mom, how about you make another of daddy's toys at grandma's house?"
"good."
Chu Nanzhi stroked her little head and agreed.
I had this idea before, but I was busy dealing with the family's affairs yesterday and rushed to the county office in the morning, so I never had time to take it into consideration.
After waiting to comfort the quadruplets, she ordered the two sisters:
"Axiang, please stay at home and help me take care of the four little treasures and little Muci. Azhu will accompany me to Lao Wang's carpenter's house."
Chu Nanzhu also heard the whispers of the Four Treasures just now, and quickly echoed:
"I heard from Dabao in the morning that my eldest sister made a strange toy for my brother-in-law at home. It is very convenient for him to use. The carpenter Lao Wang in the village should be very clever and can make it. It just so happens that our father's legs and feet are not very flexible now, so he can just use it.
Worth it."
"Well, let's go now."
After saying that, the two sisters hurried out of the house.
They took a few breaths of fresh air on the road, and the birds and flowers were everywhere, and their mood gradually improved.
Chu Nanzhu thought about her going to the county and couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what's going on? Now that we have met the brother of the Wei family, will this case turn around? Can we help the second mother of the Wei family?"
In front of his sister, although Chu Nanzhi could not tell the truth about his thoughts, he could not conceal everything. He narrated in a concise and concise manner:
"People have seen it, and I'm afraid that the Yang family who poisoned Shen really didn't know about it."
"So, the brother of the Wei family and the concubine of the Shen family were really wronged?"
Chu Nanzhu was surprised and a little unbelievable: "But the tea that the head of the Shen family drank was clearly brewed by the concubine."
"There should be something fishy about the tea itself."
Chu Nanzhi answered, thought of some questions, and asked Chu Nanzhu directly: "Azhu, do you know where the Shen family comes from, and why they can still enter the royal palace on Nanhua Mountain in May? Picking flower tea?”
She vaguely remembered that Nanhua Temple was only open to the common people during the Lunar New Year, July 15th and October 15th Lantern Festivals, allowing everyone to enter the temple to pray for longevity and good fortune.
Moreover, during the Three Yuan Festival, the temple is heavily guarded. Not to mention that it is impossible to visit the mountain, even if you just want to pay incense, you have to squeeze through your head to get in.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Chu Nanzhu was not curious at all, but said calmly:
"In the past few years since my eldest sister married into my brother-in-law's family, I'm afraid I don't know a lot about what happened in our village. I heard that the mistress of the Shen family has started asking questions with great concentration in the past two years."
When she said this, she suddenly stopped and looked at her carefully.
Chu Nanzhi saw that she had a strange look on her face, and she was so babbling that she didn't know what she was worried about. She urged impatiently: "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Chu Nanzhu hesitated and thought for a moment before he dared to continue:
"As far as I know, it seems that Madam Han started practicing at home only after she met the Taoist Ximen who met you, eldest sister. To say that Madam Han is indeed unlucky in fate. She managed such a large family business, but she got... I have an infertility problem and I have no support in my heart, so I am afraid I can only place my thoughts on Taoism."
Chu Nanzhu talked about the anecdotes of the Shen family with gusto, but Chu Nanzhi frowned unconsciously when she heard Taoist Ximen's name.
The origin of Taoist Ximen has always been a mystery. Some say he came from overseas, while others say he was a Taoist who traveled down the mountain and possessed unique knowledge.
But in Chu Nanzhi's view, this person was just a charlatan who knew some heretical ways, and was by no means a member of the orthodox Taoist sect.
But in my impression, it seems that I have never heard this person mention the Nanhua Temple, and I never expected that this guy is also connected with the mistress of the Shen family.
She interrupted Chu Nanzhu's words and asked curiously: "But Taoist Ximen did not come from Nanhua Temple, how could he lead the Han family into the Royal Palace Temple? As far as I know, Nanhua Temple is not something Are all the heretical people willing to take it in?"
"How about he have great magical powers?"
Chu Nanzhu pouted her lips arrogantly, and couldn't help but smile evilly and joked: "Otherwise, how could I have the ability to deceive my good sister into falling into a trance."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chu Nanzhi patted her angrily and asked, "Good sister, please tell me what's going on."
"It's not difficult either."
Chu Nanzhu made a cute smile and continued:
"Nanhua Temple is such a big temple, and there will always be a few false Taoist priests who are greedy for worldly things. I heard that in recent years, Taoist priest Ximen has made friends with many rich ladies in our area, and coaxed them to donate tens of thousands to Nanhua Temple.
With two taels of incense money, Madam Han alone probably has 700 to 800 taels of silver, so she got to know a very qualified Taoist priest, who seems to be the master of some eldest princess."
After a pause, she shook her head with a sneer:
"Such a distinguished pilgrim, let alone go to the temple to offer incense, no one will stop him from traveling throughout Nanhua Mountain. What's more, last month was the summer solstice of the Sanqing Festival, and qualified Taoists can enter the temple to listen to Taoism.
The officials preach the discipline and precepts, accept the assessment of merits and demerits by the three officials, and then determine the order of receiving the urn."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
Just after listening to her talk so much, she suddenly looked at this stinky girl with admiration and couldn't help but asked curiously: "You stay in the village all day, where do you go to hear so many messy things?"
"Of course I have my channels."
Chu Nanzhu pretended to smile mysteriously, but looking at the eldest sister's sharp and questioning eyes, he had to confess quickly:
"At the beginning of this year, I met a female envoy from the outer courtyard who works in the Shen family's house. Her husband's house is only a few steps away from our home. She likes my carefree temperament, and I think she is a good talker.
So when we had free time, we often went to each other's house, and over time we became good sisters. She told me almost everything she knew in the Shen family."
"Told you everything?"
"You told me everything. Anyway, that's all I know."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully and did not press her any further.
It is impossible for a female envoy from the outer courtyard to know too many secrets.
But as soon as the matter came into contact with Taoist Ximen, her sixth sense became a bit strong, and she always felt that there was nothing good going on.
It seems that I have to go to Shen's house tomorrow.
