Erbao Lin Ruixi saw that Shen Yunqing was in a mess and looked even more pitiful than before. He hurriedly knelt down to help him wipe the dirt off his body. While doing so, he comforted him with a warm voice:
"Brother, don't be afraid. If he dares to bully you again in the future, I will help you beat him."
Han and Erlang of the Shen family were listening with goosebumps all over their bodies.
Erlang of the Shen family wanted to reply, but Han secretly stopped him.
This little move immediately caught Chu Nanzhi's attention. She looked at the two of them meaningfully, pretended not to know, and asked doubtfully: "Is this young man the second wife's child?"
Mrs. Han nodded in agreement: "Indeed, he is the second son of the slave family's younger uncle."
"This young man knows how to run a family better than your son."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the resentful Shen family Erlang and smiled meaningfully.
"Ms. Chu is joking. This child is close to the slave family, so he often comes to visit the slave family. Naturally, my son Yunqing will be in charge of the family in the future."
As Han said this, his attention was not on Shen Yunqing. He touched Shen Erlang with a kind look on his face, and with a smile on his lips, he explained to Chu Nanzhi: "He is actually a very filial child. You are very well-behaved. I was afraid that you were playing with Yun Qing just now. Madam Chu, don’t be offended by things that happen between children.”
Seeing her serious nonsense, Chu Nanzhi almost burst into laughter.
I'm afraid this woman has some misunderstanding about filial piety and obedience.
But since she believed so, Chu Nanzhi could only agree: "Yes, this child is really well-behaved."
It's a short sentence, but the tone is very long.
Mrs. Han heard the hint of a gun in her words, but she pretended that nothing happened and went to help Shen Yunqing. She also taught her patiently: "Yunqing, if you have anything to do, just discuss it with your mother. No. It’s just a matter of giving some money, why bother carrying my mother’s back.”
It was obviously a very kind move, but Chu Nanzhi clearly saw that when Han's hand touched Shen Yunqing's arm, the little guy subconsciously dodged slightly.
And when I took a closer look at the young man in front of me, he was very handsome and looked very much like an actor I had seen on TV before who played the male lead when he was a child.
Chu Nanzhi thought for a moment, "Xiao Yehua."
Well, it's so cute and tight.
She couldn't help but go over and touch Shen Yunqing's head, and asked softly: "How old is the young man this year?"
Shen Yunqing did not dodge, but bowed respectfully to Chu Nanzhi, and then replied respectfully: "To the lady of the Chu family, this junior is seven years old this year."
"So good."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a very friendly smile.
She was not born and raised in this era, so she had no concubine prejudice. She could even accept a son-in-law herself. When she saw such a handsome young man, she naturally felt more pity for him.
But when Mrs. Han saw her actions, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, but she still pretended not to care and smiled:
"I'm not afraid that Mrs. Chu will laugh at the slave family for selling themselves and boasting. My Yunqing has been raised in the slave family's courtyard since he was a child. He is very sensible. Everyone who sees him has to praise him."
Chu Nanzhi just smiled and said nothing.
Isn't this just bragging and forcing herself to admit that she has educated her children very well?
But Han was not prepared to care about her opinion. She pulled Shen Yunqing inside and said gently: "Ms. Chu, please go sit in the front hall with me."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about the tea in her room and did not refuse. She led the second treasure and the fourth treasure to follow the Shen family to the front hall confidently and boldly.
Although the Shen family is not as grand as the Zhao Taigong's mansion, it is still a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits that only a wealthy family can live in.
It was the first time that Erbao entered such a luxurious courtyard, which opened his eyes. He looked around from time to time, which caused Erlang of the Shen family to look at mother and daughter with disdain.
Chu Nanzhi also noticed that Er Bao, a little kid, was not as well-behaved and calm as Si Bao. When something happened, no matter what the other person's name was, he would just rush forward based on his will.
Today, Japan is here just to investigate the case. She is afraid that this little guy will cause some trouble again, so she has been paying careful attention to her.
When they arrived at the front hall, Mrs. Han asked someone to serve tea. Chu Nanzhi politely pretended to take a sip, but did not dare to drink it, and then hurriedly asked her to get the remaining honeysuckle tea.
But she turned over the tea leaves that Han brought and looked through them, but she didn't see anything fishy.
It seems that the people behind the scenes really just want to target Shen Yang.
At this time, Li Sanmu came in from the outside. Chu Nanzhi handed the tea leaves to him and told him to keep them properly, while she asked to go to Shen Yang's courtyard for further inspection.
Judging from the current situation, there will definitely be no clues to be found in Shen Yang's courtyard. What she did was just a formality.
Arriving at Shen Yang's courtyard, Han was so sad at the scene that he couldn't help but began to sob softly again:
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh, this sister of the Nu family is actually a miserable person. The Nu family really can't think of any reason for her to murder her deceased husband. In order to have more children in the family, they kindly accepted her into the family. They never thought that something like this would happen. , even if the slave family dies, I’m afraid they won’t be able to face their dead husband again.”
"People cannot be resurrected after death, Madam Han expresses her condolences."
Chu Nanzhi saw that she was crying quite literally, and was a little touched in her heart, so she couldn't help but say some words of comfort.
After this contact with Mr. Han, she had realized that this woman was a well-established woman, but in order not to arouse her alertness, she deliberately asked:
"I heard that Madam Han is very kind to Shen Yang, and they get along very harmoniously with each other. I think she knows her quite a bit. I wonder if Madam Han knows if this Shen Yang had any enemies outside before entering the palace? "
"Well, what kind of enemies can she have?"
Mrs. Han squeezed back her tears and answered simply without thinking: "My sister was a refugee from the south. The slave family took her into their house when they saw how pitiful she was. She has no relatives at home and is so lonely. How can she be alone?" What kind of enemy is this? He has been here all day long, and even the neighbors don’t even recognize him."
"He is a serious person."
Chu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully and looked up and down in the courtyard: "Does anyone else come in this courtyard on weekdays?"
"How can that be possible?"
Mr. Han gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and finally calmed down: "Although our Shen family is not a famous family, we are still considered a close family in the village. The rules are strict. In my sister's yard, on weekdays, Apart from Nujia and Yunqing, my late husband comes here occasionally."
But as soon as she said these words, she fell into hesitation.
So far, she has never understood what this lady from the Chu family wanted to do when she came with an official mission.
Glancing at Li Sanmu who kept a cold face on the side, she quickly added: "Oh, the Nu family has also heard some things about my sister and Mr. Wei these days. There are different opinions, but even the Nu family will not believe it. Madam Chu, please don’t pay attention to those gossips.”
After saying that, he took Chu Nanzhi back to the front hall, for fear that they would stay here too long.
In the living room, Erlang of the Shen family was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a peeled banana in one hand and gnawing an apple in the other, looking very relaxed and contented.
Erbao and Sibao sat aside and stared at the bananas and apples in his hands, their eyes twitching.
Shen Yunqing, on the other hand, was sitting at the bottom of the hall with his head buried in his face, looking honest and humble and not daring to say a word.
Looking at this scene, Mr. Han walked up quickly with an embarrassed expression, and angrily scolded her son: "Yunqing, you don't even greet your two sisters. Please give them apples and bananas."
Then he looked at Chu Nanzhi apologetically, blaming himself: "Nu Jiajing was busy letting Madam Chu worry about my sister's affairs, and neglected the two young guests. It is really disrespectful."
"Ms. Han, those words are serious, but I brought my two children here to cause you trouble."
"Where, where."
The two exchanged a few words of humility, and Chu Nanzhi also saw that Mr. Han did not like these two little treasures.
It seems that what Erbao Lin Ruixi said just now offended the woman, so she didn't want to see her.
Otherwise, if the fruit plate had been left on the table for so long, she wouldn't have thought of caring about her two children now.
Seeing Shen Yunqing holding two apples and two bananas and handing them to the second and fourth treasures with a sincere face, but the two little guys were hesitant to take them, the panic look on the child's face was shocking. Nan Zhi seemed to have noticed something and quickly said to the little ones:
"Second treasure, fourth treasure, big brother gives it to you, you just accept it."
