All the trivial matters that happened in the capital were recorded by Chen in letters and sent to Jiangnan.

It was already mid-June of the lunar calendar when Jiang Yuzhu received the letter. She was cooling off in the shade of trees by the lake in Zhuangzi.

As her belly grew bigger and the fetal movements became more obvious, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't sleep well every night.

"Hongli, my mother will be arriving soon, so please tidy up the guest house and dry the bedding in the sun."

With her mother Chen coming to Jiangnan, Jiang Yuzhu felt more confident with her relatives around.

Hongli smiled and said, "Madam, I clean the place every day and make sure there isn't a speck of dust."

The farm where Jiang Yuzhu lives is not very big, but the scenery is extremely beautiful. It is a summer resort in Suzhou.

There are thousands of soldiers guarding the periphery. As long as she doesn't agree, even her mother-in-law Shen can't get in.

Shen was overwhelmed by the troubles caused by her natal family and the Xie family. She was worried that these people would harass her daughter-in-law, so she set some rules.

"Miss Wei was sent to the countryside, and that disgusting Mr. Li didn't get any advantage. People in Sucheng don't dare to offend the Xie family, so naturally no daughter dares to marry them."

There has been a lot of news out there recently, and Hongli picked up some gossip related to the Xie family.

"I heard that Shen Tinglan had a miscarriage. Guo Rui was so inhumane that he was furious. The Guo family had previously been concerned about the child in Shen Tinglan's belly, but now, regardless of Guo Rui's actions, he beat Shen Tinglan half to death..."

These two people are no good, they will suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Jiang Yuzhu was enjoying the scenery and eating melon, feeling very relaxed.

These trivial matters could not arouse her interest at all.

"Madam, the invited guests have arrived!"

Hong Jin came trotting over and found the platform had already been built.

When Hongli heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked happily, "Are they all here?"

“Here I come!”

Hong Jin blinked, and everyone was already there, waiting for his wife to come over and see them.

The master and servants moved to the backyard, where a sunshade curtain had been set up.

On both sides of the stage, there were strong men on the left and handsome scholars on the right, more than twenty people in total.

The sturdy man was wearing a green shirt, with smooth muscle lines, strong physique and deep facial contours, while the handsome scholar was gentle and elegant, with a sense of romance.

"Ma'am, are you satisfied?"

Hongli smiled. She didn't know whether the lady was satisfied or not, but she was very satisfied anyway.

Everyone loves beauty, regardless of whether they are men or women, as long as they have good looks, they will be pleasing to the eye.

Shen had previously planned to take Jiang Yuzhu on a pleasure boat tour. Considering that it would be inconvenient for her daughter-in-law to do so due to her big belly, she simply paid money to invite her to the farm.

"good!"

Jiang Yuzhu waved her hands and waited for the strong man to show his boxing skills.

At first, Jiang Yuzhu had no interest in watching acrobatics or operas, but Shen suggested that she look at more good-looking people so that the baby in her belly would be good-looking when it was born.

These strong men in front of him are no worse than Xie Zhao.

Shen didn't care whether Xie Zhao would be jealous if he found out. She just wanted to have some fun and didn't do anything else.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Jiang Yuzhu leaned on the small couch, and the maids and servants served her tea and water and gave her massages, making her feel extremely comfortable.

After watching the boxing match, the romantic scholar stood on the high platform and began to recite poems and compose couplets.

Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When it was time to light the lamps, Aunt Lanhua served some light and appetizing side dishes.

"Madam, the girls from Bibo Pavilion will come to play tomorrow."

The strong man and the elegant scholar have seen it, and tomorrow it will be the turn of the beautiful woman.

The music played was soothing, and Jiang Yuzhu felt relaxed both physically and mentally after listening to it.

After dinner, it was time to play cards.

Jiang Yuzhu had just sat down at the card table when Hong Jin came over with a stern face: "Madam, Han Zhen wants to see you."

"Let him come in and talk."

Jiang Yuzhu was helped to stand up by Hong Jin and walked to the side hall.

After about half a minute, Han Zhen opened the door curtain and saluted, "Master."

Han Zhen can make decisions on some small matters on ordinary days, but this matter is more critical, so Han Zhen has to ask for instructions.

"According to your instructions, I sent people to keep an eye on the Lu family and discovered that the Lu family was secretly colluding with the Yan family."

After Jiang Yuzhu entered the city, the Yan family got the news and fled, most of them hiding in the Lu family's farm.

In order to play the long game and catch the big fish, Han Zhen and his men kept a close watch.

The Yan family hid very well and did not make any moves for about a month.

"I followed this line of inquiry and discovered that the Lu family was also selling the Immortal Powder on the black market."

Han Zhen asked, "Should we arrest the Lu family now, or wait a little longer?"

The Lu family is different from the Yan family. Lu Yunxi is Jiang Yuzhu's cousin. Because of this relationship, Han Zhen is restricted.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Yuzhu planned to wait for her mother Chen to come in a few days before taking action against the Lu family.

In this way, the relationship can be severed completely to avoid hidden dangers.

No wonder Jiang Yuzhu always felt that Lu Yunxi had ulterior motives and was quite ambitious.

"Madam, we caught a few people sneaking around the farm."

Before Han Zhen left, Cui Ji came again.

He tied up three people and kicked them to their knees.

"These people are all skilled, and two of the quick ones ran away!"

In the process of catching people, more than a dozen brothers were injured, and Cui Ji even suspected that these people were coming for Jiang Yuzhu.

He had already interrogated him once and tortured him severely, but he hadn't gotten anything out of him.

In desperation, Cui Ji had to drag the man over.

As soon as they entered the yard, the three men gave Yan Lin, who came to play cards, a visual shock, and Yan Lin fainted.

Cui Ji said embarrassedly, "I sent the brothers to change their clothes, but the blood on their faces was not wiped clean."

Yan Lin's illness has not been cured. Instead, it has become more serious recently and he is extremely weak.
