Hearing this, Chu Yunli did not relax, and said seriously, "How dare you ask Uncle Chen, the identity of the county horse..." Most of them are not ordinary people.
Chen Qian's complacent expression faded slightly and he looked her up and down, "Jun Ma is the second son of Weining Houfu. However, in recent years, the power of the honorable family has gradually decreased. I am not afraid to tell you that the emperor has lost a lot of power in the past few years since he ascended the throne." The title of young noble."
Does this mean that the Hou's Mansion will also rely on the Princess's Mansion? Even if it knew that the Princess had dealt with the children here, the Hou's Mansion would not dare to argue with the Princess's Mansion.
Chu Yunli didn't believe his words. Even if Shen Qiuyan's father was just an ordinary scholar and was favored by the princess because of his good looks, that was not something that a small merchant like Zhou Fu could deceive. Even if he was just an ordinary farmer, Not to mention the hope that the princess's husband is just an ordinary person, but he has been a county horse for at least ten years, and the contacts he has made are not something that the Zhou family can compete with.
Zhou's father frowned in thought, but Chu Yunli was inclined to refuse. Chen Qian was already impatient and urged, "How about it? As long as you agree, the money will belong to your father and daughter. With this money, if you don't want to deal with the Hou Mansion You can still move to another place. Anyway, your family is not local. It doesn’t matter where you live.” As he spoke, he pushed the box again.
Chu Yunli reached out to take it, took a look at it and pushed the box cover back, "Although the money is good, it has to be spent. We, father and daughter, are just ordinary small businessmen. We can't get involved in the grudges between these big shots. .Uncle Chen, I’m sorry!”
Chen Qian was surprised by her rejection and raised his eyes to see Zhou's father's expression, "You think so too?"
Zhou's father nodded, stood up and bowed to him, "I'm really sorry, Zhou has this daughter in his life, and everything he thinks about is her safety. And although Zhou is a profit-seeking businessman, he also knows that Please forgive me for saying that some money cannot be obtained."
After Chen Qian was surprised, he stood up and put away the box, turned around and left without saying a word.
Chu Yunli was a little worried, "Dad, what should we do?"
Father Zhou comforted, "It doesn't matter. If something happens, we will leave here. For me, the place with you is home."
After hearing this, even Chu Yunli's eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, she really felt that she actually liked this job. At least there was no father in her world who loved her so much.
"Dad, I will be filial to you." Chu Yunli said sincerely. After saying this, she felt relieved again. She stretched out her hand to cover her chest, vaguely understanding that her original desire for revenge was secondary, and that she was probably the most reluctant to let go. Her only relative.
Knowing the details of the neighbor next door, while Chu Yunli was preventing him from attacking her, she was also curious about Chen Qian's treatment of Shen Qiuyan. She paid attention secretly for a few days. That morning, before Chu Yunli got up, Chun Yu came in and whispered. Reported, "Girl, a few days ago you specially asked the slaves to pay attention to the next door. Early this morning, they left the town and went to the county."
Chu Yunli was surprised, "Leaving?"
Chunyu nodded, "Let's go. The old man who stayed next door as a gatekeeper said that his master has returned to his hometown."
Chen Qian’s hometown?
If what he said is true, then Chen Qian has returned to the capital? It is clear that he does not want to care whether Shen Qiuyan's father comes to see her.
Chu Yunli has been just an ordinary person in his two lives. He has never experienced or seen the complexities of a wealthy family. He doesn't know whether he has really given up or if he has other tricks. But no matter what, Chen Qian's departure will not affect them It's a good thing. Although they are just father and daughter, and their family fortune is not big, it is not difficult to leave Huanxi Town. But if it is not necessary, who wants to be forced to move?
Shen Qiuyan in Sannan Village had never heard of Chen Qian and his party who came to find her. At this time, she was gritting her teeth and washing a lot of dirty clothes. Most of them belonged to Wu Ming, and occasionally there were a few shabby ones. The ones with patches, of course, are not her own. These items all belong to Wu's mother. Since Mrs. Shen was ill in bed, these tasks have been hers.
Wu's mother was folding dry clothes that had just been put away in her room. Suddenly she came out carrying a long gown and said angrily, "These clothes are ruined, how did you wash them?"
Shen Qiuyan raised her head in surprise, "I don't know."
"What do you know?" Mother Wu was almost furious. "I spent so much money to marry you, but I can't do anything. I can wash my clothes until they are torn. I don't know how to cook. Spending money on you is worse than buying a little girl." You are getting a good deal. Other people’s wives can give birth to children. You are a hen that can’t lay eggs. When you were so anxious to get in, I thought you had something in your stomach. I didn’t expect... Haha... I didn’t know that Ming’er was interested in it. What are you? A broom star!" The voice was loud and full of malice.
Shen Qiuyan bit her lip, stubbornly not letting her tears fall, and she rubbed the clothes in her hands a little more harshly. Mother Wu became even more angry when she saw it, "Take it easy, Ming'er only wears these two clothes. How can he go out if he's been ruined? Unfortunately, rejecting the Zhou Mansion for you was the worst choice he could make. If it weren't for you, my son would be on his way to the county seat now."
Shen Qiuyan refused to acknowledge this and retorted in a low voice, "My husband likes me. If he marries someone else, he will not be happy."
Wu's mother sneered, "I didn't see how happy he was that he married you!"
Wu Ming suddenly heard an unhappy voice in the hall, "Can you please stop making noise? I can't even read the book!"
Hearing this, Mother Wu sneered, glanced contemptuously at Shen Qiuyan, swung the curtain and walked in, "Miss, you are a maid. If Ming'er marries you, it would be better to marry Fang'er from the village chief's family."
Of course she knew Fang'er from the village chief's house. She was a tall, dark girl with a loud voice. Mother Wu used to look down on her. When she first came in, Mother Wu told her not to let Fang'er get close to her house. courtyard.
Shen Qiuyan bit her lip and couldn't help but shed tears anymore. The man who just said that there was noisy outside did not refute this. Maybe he was too lazy to care, or maybe he was really interested... The more he thought about it, the more tears he shed. , Didi fell into the basin under his hand, but he didn't dare to stop what he was doing and continued to rub his clothes. At this time, several women passed by the door carrying basins for washing clothes, laughing and saying, "What you said is true. That rich man who bought the yard next door to Father Zhou is really looking for someone? A woman in her thirties named Shen?"
Another person said firmly, "Yes, the news has spread all over Huanxi Town."
"There are people with the surname Shen in our town, and there are also people of the right age. As far as I know, there is really no one who has both. Why don't we ask Matchmaker Li one day, maybe she knows about it from walking around the streets? Don't ask us. I am a girl who is living abroad, and I just want to get some hard-earned money..."
Before she could finish her words, another woman interrupted her with a sneer, "What good things are you thinking about? A girl from a wealthy family is living outside. A girl from a really wealthy family is already three-layered inside and three-layered outside before she is born. How come you are living outside when you are being cared for by someone else?"
"That's not necessarily true. How else could someone come looking for me? My parents and I don't look alike..."
Another round of joking and laughter gradually faded away.
After hearing this, Shen Qiuyan remembered that Zhou Mingxuan was a girl from a really wealthy family and lived well no matter what. If Wu Ming really married her, for the sake of the Zhou family's money, Wu's mother would not be so arrogant. Wu Ming didn't dare to wrong her, right? If he was also from a wealthy family... She stopped suddenly and forgot to shed tears. Others didn't know it, but she herself knew that she was different from others. She was the son of her father's ominous follower. Her mother's surname is Shen. If her mother had not died, she would be in her thirties this year, and her surname is Shen. This is a match!
She stood up immediately, because she moved too much and knocked down the little horse, but she didn't bother to help her, so she got up and ran out of the courtyard. The woman who was laughing at the door just now had gone away. Then she remembered that they said that everyone in the town was happy. She knew it, so she didn't chase her. She looked at the door of the house where Wu's mother had just entered. She raised the corner of her mouth with ridicule, stopped changing her clothes, closed the courtyard door, and walked towards the town.
The people next door left, and Chu Yunli relaxed. She planned to go to the medical clinic and discussed with Dr. Tian before going into the mountains for a visit.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw the lost Shen Qiuyan, who was looking haggard and disheveled and looking blankly at the door next door. Her first reaction was that this man had come back to trouble the Zhou family again, and she immediately became impatient. This man had already married out. Unable to get rid of her, he secretly considered the possibility of moving away from Huanxi Town, avoiding her and heading to the carriage.
Shen Qiuyan over there seemed to be shocked, and she didn't see Chu Yunli go out at all. When she got on the carriage and was about to set off, Shen Qiuyan suddenly rushed over. Not to mention the horse, the carriage driver was startled.
The carriage driver was busy calming the horse, while Shen Qiuyan was lying on the carriage shaft, her face collapsed, tears streaming down her face as she asked, "Xuan'er, you knew they were looking for me, why didn't you tell me?"
Chu Yunli's expression was a little complicated. Shen Qiuyan in front of her could be said to be two different people from the one she saw when Wu Ming held her in his arms for the first time after waking up.
At that time, Shen Qiuyan was dressed in plain colors and had an ethereal aura without any makeup. She was wearing the most ordinary cloth in front of her, and she looked plainer than before. She could be considered miserable, and her skin was yellower than before. Many of her fingers were swollen and bruised. Except for her delicate eyebrows, she was just an ordinary young woman.
Chu Yunli opened her mouth, wanting to say that it would be best for you not to tell you. If someone secretly kills you, it is possible.
But after hearing Shen Qiuyan's questioning, she suddenly didn't want to explain. It was just a waste of effort, and she wouldn't listen even if she explained. In the end, she just said, "I told him about your location." Believe it or not, Ai. !
