Jiang Mianmian, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had just returned to the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as they stepped into the house, Li Tingxue couldn't wait to find an excuse, saying that she had to go back quickly to feed the child.
Before she finished her words, she ran back to her own courtyard like a gust of wind.
Looking at the hurried and slightly flustered back of her eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang Mianmian was not angry at all. Instead, she felt quite happy.
Oh, she felt that her eldest daughter-in-law was so anxious to go back and take care of her granddaughter, which obviously showed that she really cared about the child. This attention and care for the child made Jiang Mianmian feel very relieved and satisfied.
At that moment, she made up her mind that she would take Li Tingxue out to play more often in the future. This would not only improve the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also make the daughter-in-law pay more attention to her granddaughter.
Meanwhile, Li Tingxue trotted back to her yard. After entering the house, she quickly picked up the crying little Le'an, gently cradled him in her arms, and began to feed him.
After little Le'an had eaten and drunk his fill and fell asleep contentedly, Li Tingxue finally had time to talk to Chen Xiuyan about what had happened today.
After listening to his wife's stories about Zhou Liang and his wife, Shen Xiuyan was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh, "Fuck, there really are so many strange things in this world! There are strange things every year, and this year I've heard of so many.
Especially what happened to General Zhou and his wife this time, it almost made my jaw drop. This kind of bloody and inhuman plot is extremely rare, right?
These two eccentrics are truly a perfect match. They're both their own saviors, yet they mistakenly saved each other's lives. It's truly unbelievable! It's beyond words!
Then, Shen Xiuyan couldn't help laughing: "Oh my, if mother hadn't accidentally let the cat out of the bag today, I'm afraid they would still be kept in the dark until their death! Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
At this point, Shen Xiuyan couldn't help but shook his head, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and he did not hide his contempt and ridicule for this matter.
Li Tingxue looked at her husband's eyes which were both shocked and slightly excited, as if he was eating a big melon with gusto.
She couldn't help but show a helpless expression on her face. Oh, hey, hey, did this person not hear the main point of what she was saying?
Li Tingxue shook her head gently, sighed deeply, and said unhappily, "Okay, Chen Xiuyan, I didn't say this to amuse you or make you react like this!
"Are you really listening to me? Are you focusing on the little details and ignoring the main point I'm trying to make?"
Having said this, Li Tingxue paused for a moment, then continued sadly:
"The reason I mentioned this to you is because I'm worried about what my mother said without restraint. I'm afraid that I might accidentally offend the General's Mansion. If I end up making enemies with them, it will cause unnecessary trouble later.
Also, I originally wanted to arrange a marriage with the General's Mansion for Chen Xiujin, but now, what should I do?"
She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Oh, there's something else I need to tell you. When we left, Mrs. Zhou fainted on the spot! I don't know how she's doing now, or whether she's woken up yet."
Besides, I heard that General Zhou Liang is usually quite arrogant and domineering. Now after what mother has done...if Zhou Liang is petty and holds a grudge, will he retaliate against us?"
After saying this, Shen Xiuyan frowned slightly. It was indeed as Li Tingxue said, that Zhou Liang was not only a general with a large army, but also a popular figure in front of the emperor, and was highly valued by the emperor.
If you accidentally offend him, it will probably be very difficult to deal with him. Thinking of this, Shen Xiuyan's face gradually became solemn.
Shen Xiuyan thought for a moment and spoke slowly, "How about this! Let's send someone to inquire about the situation in the general's mansion first, especially to see if the general's wife is safe and sound.
Besides, their General's Mansion currently has no solid evidence or sufficient reasons to blame the mother for Mrs. Zhou's fainting. After all, no one else can hear the mother's voice, right?
Besides, my mother is a lady of the first rank, and was canonized by the late emperor. As long as my mother has not committed any serious mistake, even the current emperor cannot do anything to my mother without a serious reason.
Our Marquisate is not one to be bullied. Even if Zhou Liang were to attempt any action, the Emperor would certainly not sit idly by and allow him to do so. Don't forget, our grandfather was once granted a golden medal of immunity from death!"
When Li Tingxue heard what Shen Xiuyan said, her heart, which had been hanging high in the air, finally settled down a little.
However, as her thoughts turned, she couldn't help but think of Shen Xiujin and Zhou Jingyao again. She couldn't help but sigh softly and said with some worry:
"I just don't know how Shen Xiujin will react after learning about this. Will he blame his mother-in-law and feel resentment towards her?"
Shen Xiuyan smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said comfortingly: "Haha, you don't have to worry about this. In my judgment, the second brother will never act like this. Just relax."
…………
Night falls quietly, everything is silent, only the moonlight shines into the house through the window, bringing a faint light to the whole room.
The brothers Shen Xiujin and Shen Xiuyan were sitting in the study. There was a candle on the desk in front of them, and the flickering flames illuminated their handsome faces.
