Chapter 287: Wife is Qi
Ping'er spoke quickly after hearing this.
"Madam, please give your instructions."
The smile in Su Hanchu's eyes faded.
"Go tell Zishu to push Concubine Liu to the top, but she has to hold on to the power of the housekeeper. She can't appear too prominent over Concubine Liu, but she has to know everything about the Shen family. Also, find a famous doctor to give her a fertility prescription so she can have a child as soon as possible. Also, arrange for two capable maids to be by her side."
Ping'er naturally understood that Zishu's identity was originally fake, so she naturally couldn't show off too much.
"Yes, I will go out and have someone pass the message to Zishu in a moment."
On the Lin family's side.
After the family had dinner, Mrs. Lin let Li Xiao and Lin Hanzhi walk around the yard at will.
Having been away from home for nearly two years, Lin Hanzhi missed every tree and blade of grass at home. She took a walk in the yard with Li Xiao, telling him some interesting stories that happened in her childhood.
"Li Xiao, do you know? When I was little, I was actually very naughty. I relied on my mother's love for me and often hid. One time, I hid behind this rockery, waiting for the maid to find me. As a result, I fell asleep inside the rockery, which made my mother very anxious. Later, I woke up by myself and found it was dark. I started crying and was discovered by everyone. My mother scolded me."
Looking at the relaxed smile on her face, Li Xiao felt a little sad in his heart. The girl he once wanted to marry home as soon as possible has grown a lot in the past one or two years. He still remembered that she used to call him Brother Li Xiao every time they saw each other, but now she just calls him by his name.
"As for you, I know how naughty you were when you were little. You were a bit of a tomboy."
Lin Hanzhi looked up and gave him a coquettish look.
"So what? It's too late for you to regret now."
Li Xiao reached out and held her hand, and the two of them got married very quickly. It didn't matter even if others saw them.
"How could I regret it? You are the girl I have been waiting for for many years. Moreover, I am the one who married the famous boss of Minji. It is the greatest honor of my life..."
Listening to Li Xiao's words, Lin Hanzhi's face was filled with a pretty smile.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Mrs. Lin's room.
The maid Wenzhu smiled and poured tea for Mrs. Lin.
"Madam, now the young lady has finally found happiness after all the hardships she has endured. This future son-in-law is so kind to her. Even a servant like me can see that his eyes are full of our young lady."
Mrs. Lin took the teacup with a relieved smile in her eyes.
"Li Xiao went through a period of decline, but now he has managed to carve out a good life for himself. He has achieved the rank of general and still remains loyal to Zhizhi. This is truly remarkable. It's not surprising that Zhizhi did this for him..."
Wenzhu heard this and spoke.
"From now on, our young lady will definitely be happy."
Mrs. Lin nodded.
"Wenzhu, tomorrow you disguise yourself and find a few beggars to spread the word that the daughters born to the Lin family many years ago were actually twins, one named Lin Hanzhi and the other named Lin Xiuzhi. Lin Xiuzhi died of a sudden illness a year and a half ago, and God has mercy on the family and brought back another daughter, Lin Hanzhi."
Wenzhu spoke quickly after hearing this.
"Yes, I will go there early tomorrow morning."
A night passed.
The next day, people were everywhere on the streets talking about how the daughter of the Lin family who had been lost many years ago had been found. She was Su Hanzhi, the head of Minji. Now the head of Minji had returned to his ancestral home and changed his surname back to Lin. At the same time, Minji also tried to prove to the outside world that the head of Minji was originally surnamed Lin, and her future husband was General Li Xiao, who had made great contributions in the northwest.
Shen family.
After the Xu family was initially unwilling to accept Shen Xu's death, they told the Shenzhou Prefecture that they could send another daughter to the Shenzhou Prefecture as a consort. Although they told the outside world that Xu was deceived about the burning of grain and grass, they knew the specific situation very well. The Shenzhou Prefecture now had no good feelings towards the Xu family at all.
But the truth must be kept secret even for the sake of the Shen family. However, the Shen family has now made contributions, and the Xu family will certainly not give up the Shen family easily. What's more, the Shen family also has a grandson of the Xu family. The whole people in Shenzhou Prefecture couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Zishu came over with her maid Mudan, carrying a bowl of soup.
"Master, I see you're busy all day, and I can't help you with your official duties. So today I've asked the kitchen to make you a bowl of soup. Please drink some before continuing."
Chenzhoufu looked up at Zishu, who was wearing a lavender dress, and stretched out his hand to her.
"You are the most considerate."
Zi Shu handed over her hand and turned behind Chenzhou Fu.
Reach out and press his temples.
"I am just a woman, Master. You are doing big things, and I can't help you at all. But when it comes to the little things in daily life, I just want to do what I can to take care of your health."
Chenzhoufu leaned back and sighed.
"What your master has been worrying about lately is not official business."
Zishu was surprised when she heard this.
"It's not official business? Then what is it? Maybe I can't help you, Master? But I can listen to you quietly. If you say something that's bothering you, it won't be a worry anymore."
Chenzhoufu reached out and patted Zishu’s hand.
"The Xu family has been coming here quite frequently lately. Even my former mother-in-law has come. After all, the two families have been friends for so many years, so we can't refuse them too bluntly."
This was something he had expected, and now that Chenzhou Prefecture had brought it up first, he didn't have to bring up the topic any further.
"Master, I am overstepping my bounds and saying one more thing. Actually, you and the Second Miss have both made great contributions on the battlefield. The status of the Shen family is rising. You are considering the Xu family because you think that marrying the Xu family's daughter into the mansion will be more beneficial to the eldest lady and the young master.
But this woman has her own child, so naturally her heart will be biased towards her child. I am saying something unreasonable, Master, why don't you help someone from the mansion to become the housekeeper? The new Madam Shen was originally the concubine of the family, so she will naturally respect the eldest lady and the young master. "
Chenzhoufu turned to look at Zishu, his eyes a little different.
"What? Zishu is interested in Madam Shen's position?"
Zishu spoke with a smile.
"Master, you are joking. How long have I served you? How dare I think about Madam Shen's position? I am just talking about the matter and want to help you solve your problems."
Only then did the Chenzhou government restrain its expression.
"Then in your opinion, who among the concubines in this mansion do you think is the most suitable to be appointed as the wife?"
Zi Shu seemed to think for a moment and spoke softly after hearing this.
"The book says that a wife is equal to you, so the future Madam Shen should naturally walk side by side with you, Master. In terms of family background, the concubines in the mansion are not very good now, but there is one person, Master, who I think is very suitable, because in addition to the son being honored by the mother, the mother can also be honored by the son."
After hearing this, Chenzhou Prefecture knew who it was.
"Are you talking about Aunt Liu?"
