The eldest lady was grounded, and the back house was temporarily in charge of the old lady and the second lady. This was an excellent opportunity for Shen Xingwan.
She immediately visited the second lady at home.
The second lady's mental state is much better than before, when she was depressed.
When she was called, she gently asked her to sit down. The second lady accepted her kindness. If she hadn't helped her that night, she might have been forced to death.
"Drink tea." The second lady waved her hand, and the people in the hall immediately withdrew.
The second lady whispered, "When Manman wakes up and people from my natal family arrive, I will take Manman and leave the Zhou family."
Her natal family is not weak, but it is far away from here, and she has been under control, so she has rarely interacted with her in recent years.
In the past, she was the one who took advantage of others. She broke her teeth and swallowed such scandals, unwilling to tell anyone about them.
Now she has figured it out, now is the worst situation, there is nothing she can't bear.
"Whatever you want to do, I will try my best to help you during this period." The second lady said, she was giving Shen Xingwan a thorough explanation.
She didn't care what happened to the Zhou family at all. She fought for the rights to the rear house just to make herself and Zhou Man live comfortably.
Shen Xingwan helped her when she was most desperate, and he was also willing to help Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan was not polite, "Thank you, Second Aunt. I heard that there is a rouge shop called Xiangsiji in this imperial city. I want to go and visit it."
The second lady immediately agreed, "I'll send someone to take you there."
In order to rationalize the action, Shen Xingwan asked the second lady to accompany her as an elder.
The second lady also agreed, and the two of them decided to go out the next day.
The next day, the side door of Zhou Mansion opened wide, and a carriage slowly drove out.
Xia Yue, who had been staring at Zhou Mansion in the past two days, immediately followed her.
Soon she discovered that Miss Zhou Qi was accompanied by two secret guards, one bright and one dark, both of whom were not bad in martial arts.
Xia Yue didn't dare to stare too closely, she only dared to dress up as a young lady and follow him from a distance.
Fortunately, she did not leave the city right away and stopped outside a rouge shop, which made it easier for her to go in and inquire about the situation.
Shen Xingwan and the second lady entered the rouge shop and went directly to the second floor.
The second floor only accepts female customers, and sells slightly expensive rouge and gouache.
With the people following Qi Han, Shen Xingwan didn't intend to act rashly. She just came to explore the way today.
She slowly looked at the rouge on the shelf. From the packaging and style, it was indeed a typical Jiangnan style.
"Choose more and buy everything you like." The second lady said from the side.
Shen Xingwan opened a box, looked at it, and said softly, "But it's not like the common style here, this color palette is very special."
The female waiter on the side immediately said, "Girl, you have good eyesight. This is our family's exclusive secret recipe."
Shen Xingwan picked a few boxes and sat on the second floor to try the colors.
More customers came to the door one after another, and a young lady dressed elegantly came up with a basket in her hand.
Shen Xingwan said softly to the second lady, "This color is beautiful. I will also buy a box for my fourth sister."
The young lady heard the sound and looked over. The moment she saw Shen Xingwan's face clearly, she was obviously stunned for a moment.
Shen Xingwan felt her eyes looking up at her. The young lady blushed and smiled sheepishly, "The girl is so pretty, so I couldn't help but look at her twice."
"Young lady, you are so complimentary." Shen Xingwan said as a guest.
The young lady was Xia Yue, and she recognized Shen Xingwan immediately.
But because of Feiyan beside her, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Because of her amnesia, Shen Xingwan didn't recognize that this was Liu Ying's person, and she couldn't recognize Xia Yue's current attire either.
There are so many people in Liuying, but she is only familiar with the core characters, and has only met most of the others once or twice.
After choosing the rouge, Shen Xingwan was going to choose a box of lipstick.
The lipsticks were in the innermost row against the wall. She walked in and looked at them slowly.
Xia Yue also walked over and picked two boxes and hesitated, not knowing which one to buy.
Shen Xingwan glanced at it briefly and said, "The box on the left should be more suitable for you."
Xia Yue said happily, "Thank you, girl, for your advice."
She picked up another box and approached Shen Xingwan, "What do you think of this song, girl?"
The two people were facing each other and discussing rouge.
"This color feels more suitable for people with fair skin. It's a very pink color."
Xia Yue turned her head and smiled at her, mouthing silently, "Captain..."
Shen Xingwan's eyes narrowed for a moment, then he quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
I remembered that Fat Meow had told her that she was originally the leader of a very powerful organization, so now it was the people from the organization who came to save her.
"Thank you, girl, for your help. I've chosen it." Xia Yue thanked her politely.
Shen Xingwan smiled and said nothing.
The two of them walked to the front one after another, and Shen Xingwan said with a smile, "Let's pick so many for today, and come back in a few days."
Of course this sentence is meant for Xia Yue, she will come back in a few days.
Xia Yue listened, carrying the basket and the selected rouge and gouache to check out.
Feiyan didn't notice anything wrong and followed Shen Xingwan downstairs.
Shen Xingwan didn't stay outside for long, as if he really just came out to buy rouge, and then returned home after buying.
On the carriage, Shen Xingwan opened the curtain and looked at the scenery on the street, and began to make calculations in his mind.
Now that someone has come to find her, it saves her a lot of work and she doesn't have to put in the effort to send the letter out.
What she has to do now is to get rid of the two secret guards around her and meet the person coming.
As for how to get rid of it, we need to think about it in the long term. At least in a few days, we must talk to the person we met today alone.
Feiyan followed her, and it was easy to control her with the inner house method. It was rare that she was the Eleven who was hiding in the dark.
Things have become clearer, and Shen Xingwan is still in a good mood. He discussed the affairs of the house with the second lady again.
The carriage quickly returned to the Zhou Mansion. The trip was uneventful, and the two secret guards breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
As soon as she returned to the backyard, she received good news. Zhou Man woke up.
Shen Xingwan immediately went to Zhou Man's yard with his second wife, and she was indeed awake.
He was weak and was helped by the maid to sit up and was drinking water.
"Mother..." Zhou Man burst into tears instantly.
The second lady gently comforted her for a while before her mood stabilized.
Zhou Man met Shen Xing's gaze and apologized a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble."
She was really forced to have no choice but to drag Shen Xingwan into the pond when her brain got hot.
"I'm fine, everything is over." Shen Xingwan said.
Of course she won't hold grudges, after all, she deliberately cooperated with her in jumping, and now everyone is happy with the result, except that it is very bad for the eldest lady.
"You guys chat slowly, I'm going back to the yard first." Shen Xingwan left a separate space for mother and daughter.
I returned to the yard and started thinking about how to trick the two secret guards around me. They were really in the way.
