When Rumeng was still serving in Mrs. Chen's yard, although she was not serving in the master's house, she had heard that Mrs. Chen and Mr. Qian had a good relationship.
Ru Meng weighed it in her heart, then she just put her mind on it and said it out.
"My good sister is the maid who cleans the yard in Madam's yard. Her name is Pearl. She is outstanding in appearance, but unfortunately she has never had the opportunity to show her face to the master. She told me that the last time Mr. Shen came to the Hou Mansion , pulled her and said a lot of treacherous words. She was afraid and ran away. Her mother-in-law has already arranged a marriage for her, and she will go home next year to get married."
Rumeng sniffed and said in a sad voice, "Young Master Shen came here again yesterday. I wanted to remind Pearl to stay away from Mr. Shen. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that Pearl was dead... I found out that it was Miss Fourth. Seeing that Pearl and Mr. Shen were having a hard time, she accidentally pushed Pearl... Now Pearl must be suffering from infamy. But the slave girl knew in her heart that Pearl was definitely not that kind of person. She and her fiancé were in love with each other and were loyal to each other. Damn it! I want to ask you for help, don’t let Pearl bear the infamy!”
Qian was surprised. She only heard about what happened yesterday that one of Mrs. Chen's maids accidentally slipped and fell to her death on the rockery. She didn't expect that there was such a reason.
Chen Yaying's fiery temper is indeed capable of doing such a thing.
When Shen Han looked at the gentle man, he turned out to be a pretty person.
Mr. Qian clicked his tongue twice, the twists and turns in this are really exciting.
It's a pity that Mrs. Chen chose to suppress this matter. If she mentioned it in front of Mrs. Chen, wouldn't it mean that she wanted to go against Mrs. Chen?
Looking into Rumeng's earnest eyes, Qian deliberately showed a look of pity on his face and whispered: "I can't help you with this matter."
Disappointed as a dream.
She originally thought that Qian would help.
Mrs. Qian sighed and said: "You also know that the Fourth Miss has such a temper. If anyone speaks for Pearl, won't she be resented by her? And now, the Hou Mansion and the Shen family are discussing marriage, if Shen is If the young master is involved and this marriage is ruined, who can bear the responsibility?"
Rumeng's heart cooled down little by little. Qian was right and she was unable to refute.
Seeing that Rumeng had listened, Qian said: "Zhenzhu is dead, what matters is the living. Jin'er, go get a hundred taels of silver notes and give it to Zhenzhu's servant."
Rumeng was surprised, one hundred taels? It was a huge sum for them.
Qian patted Rumeng on the shoulder and said, "I do it for your sake. If there is knowledge under Pearl Spring, her family will live well and she will definitely be able to rest in peace."
Rumeng was so moved that she kowtowed to Mr. Qian and said sincerely: "I can't repay you for your great kindness. If you are useful in the future, I will definitely die without mercy!"
Qian smiled, what she wanted was Rumeng's words.
After sending Rumeng away, Master Qian and Jin'er walked back slowly.
Jin'er whispered: "Mr. Shen... do you want to remind Madam?"
Shen Han dared to involve the maids of the Hou Mansion in the territory of the Hou Mansion.
Outside the Marquis Mansion, there must be mercy everywhere.
Wouldn’t it be a sin to marry such a man?
Previously, the Marquis of Dingbei took a fancy to the Shen family because he saw that the Shen family was a scholarly family and that Shen Han was a scholar, so he felt free to hand over Chen Yaying.
Qian smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you talking about? Just pretend you don't know."
She secretly thought to herself that Chen Yaying was arrogant and should be punished.
When Mrs. Qian first got married, she was quite angry with Chen Yaying.
Jin'er stopped talking.
Rumeng went out for a trip, and when she came back her eyes were red and swollen, so naturally she couldn't hide it from others.
Fu Zhao thought for a moment, then remembered what Rumeng said in front of him, and said calmly: "Don't worry about her."
"Yes." Si Qi responded.
Fu Zhao raised his head again, "Still keeping a close eye on her. She is still thinking about the people on Madam's side. Her heart is outside and she has to be on guard."
"Yes, I know how powerful this slave is."
*
News came from the Fu family that Mr. Fu and others agreed to Fu Qingxin's first marriage and asked Fu Zhao to pull the strings.
Fu Zhao knew that Mrs. Ma loved being a matchmaker, so he still entrusted Mrs. Ma with this matter.
Lu Shan, who lives next to Fu Qingxin, is cunning and mean, so staying in the Fu family is really a hidden danger.
It is also a good thing to let Fu Qingxin marry off early.
Fu Zhao then sent a lot of silk and satin to Madam Ma, hoping that Madam Ma would pay more attention to them.
It was the fifteenth day, and Fu Zhao went to pay his respects to Mrs. Chen.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao, who had not been seen for a long time, would show up.
Ms. Zhao has lost a lot of weight, her lips are dry and peeling, but she is in good spirits and her eyes are sparkling.
Seeing Fu Zhao come in, Zhao rarely greeted Fu Zhao.
Fu Zhao smiled back.
After greeting Mrs. Chen and bowing, Fu Zhao sat down on the side.
Mrs. Zhao replied: "When the weather gets hotter, I get less sick."
Mrs. Chen nodded, "Just wait until you are older. Let's see what you did. Now drink some tea."
"Thank you for your concern, mother." After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she put her hands on her knees and remained motionless, with no intention of drinking water.
When you really can't stand it, just purse your lips to relieve the discomfort.
She was afraid that she would be unable to control her urge to vomit when she was at Mrs. Chen's place. She hadn't had a sip of water since last night.
Of course, no one else in the room would notice whether Mrs. Zhao drank water.
Mrs. Chen glanced outside and said, "Bring the snacks quickly. The red bean cakes just came out of the kitchen. They are soft and glutinous."
The maid then brought the snacks over.
The red bean cake is still steaming, and the aroma makes people salivate.
Little girls like Chen Yaying like to eat sweet pastries, and even Fu Zhao couldn't help but pinch a piece of red bean cake.
Although Qian wanted to eat it, she still held it back. She said with emotion: "Oh, I tend to gain weight easily as I get older, so I don't dare to eat such sweet things. Hey, fourth brother and sister, why don't you eat it? "
Ms. Zhao swallowed her saliva and said with a wry smile, "I'm also afraid of getting fat."
Qian raised his eyebrows, "I see you have lost a lot of weight recently, why are you still afraid of getting fat? I remember you also liked to eat before."
Ms. Zhao was indeed so greedy that her mouth watered.
But recently, she felt like vomiting after eating.
If you are disgusted again in public, the more astute people will definitely see something.
Mrs. Zhao lowered her head and whispered: "I don't like sweets much now."
Mr. Qian continued to dig into the matter, and Mr. Ma said first, "My four brothers and sisters are just like me. They used to love to eat, but suddenly they no longer like it."
