Chapter 58: Getting by
After Shen Zhilan was reborn, her mind was full of how to change her fate, and the delusions from her previous life were deeply rooted.
Ever since she came from Jiangnan to visit her relatives, Shen Zhilan's body would react every time she revealed the secret.
At the birthday banquet at the Wei Mansion, Shen Zhilan told the maid Xia'er about Lu Qingxue's ending and also hinted to Jiang Yuzhu in disguise.
When she returned home that time, Shen Zhilan had a nosebleed, but it stopped quickly.
At that time, she just felt extremely tired and slept for the whole day.
As the number of times increased, Shen Zhilan's reactions became more and more extreme. This time, when she reminded Jiang Yuzhu of the assassin, she suffered a backlash as soon as she said it. She guessed that it was related to the disclosure of the secret.
Jiang Yuzhu's mind moved. It seemed that her suspicions were well-founded. Shen Zhilan was indeed a reborn person.
"Cousin, there are all kinds of things in this world."
Jiang Yuzhu comforted Shen Zhilan and said, "If a person can live two lives, it must be a gift from God. All the regrets of the previous life will have the opportunity to be made up."
Shen Zhilan calmed down and did not continue the topic.
Thinking back to her previous life, she was trapped in Jiangnan and didn’t know much about what was happening in the capital, so she couldn’t help much.
There was only one thing that Shen Zhilan could be sure of, that Jiang Yuzhu got sick and died early.
"Cousin, cherish the person in front of you. Actually, my cousin...he is not bad."
Shen Zhilan racked her brains to think of Xie Zhao's strengths, but couldn't say a single one.
He has been married for three years and ignored Jiang Yuzhu for three years. This is not a human thing to do!
Chen Zhilan didn't have the ability to confuse right and wrong, so she had to find another tricky angle to persuade: "Cousin, you should make do with it for now. Although my cousin won't come back home, he doesn't spend money like a drunkard outside."
Never cheat on your husband. Pretty boys like Feng Qing are even more unreliable.
Jiang Yuzhu deeply agreed with what Shen Zhilan said.
Life is short, enjoy it while you can.
Instead of keeping your eyes on the man and following him closely, it is better to have some fun on your own.
Jiang Yuzhu has very low requirements for Xie Zhao. He makes money and she spends it. She makes trouble and he cleans up the mess. The couple cooperates for mutual benefit and lives in harmony with each other.
As long as they perform well, who wouldn't say they are a loving couple?
"Cousin, I received a letter from my mother-in-law some time ago, saying that she wanted to find a marriage for you in the capital."
Shen Zhilan was sincere, and Jiang Yuzhu responded that she respected Shen Zhilan's wishes.
Once a young man is spotted, she will send someone to inquire carefully about his character.
Shen Zhilan shook her head. The shadow of her past life was still there, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
The only reason she came to the capital was to see Xie Zhao. Shen Zhilan had fantasies based on the knowledge that Xie Zhao had never remarried in his previous life. However, after getting to know him, she found that this cousin was not very good and was too cold.
"Cousin, I want to live in the countryside for a while to cultivate my character."
Some time ago, Shen Zhilan accidentally saved a woman who was very rich and dressed in gold and silver.
The woman was a very famous midwife in the capital, known as Liu Jinshou.
Liu Jinshou has a skill inherited from his ancestors. If a pregnant woman has an abnormal fetal position, the position can be corrected through massage.
Liu Jinshou is old and in poor health, and is looking for someone to inherit his legacy.
After Shen Zhilan learned about this, she immediately wanted to learn some skills.
In the future, if Jiang Yuzhu becomes pregnant, she will be responsible for delivering the baby to reduce the risk.
Shen Zhilan concealed it and Jiang Yuzhu didn't know. Her child with Xie Zhao? That could only pop out from the cracks in the stone.
"Cousin, the country is a good place to live, and you don't have to follow any rules. If you don't get used to living there, you can come back anytime. The Xie Mansion is your mother's home in the capital."
After Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, she stood up and Hong Feng ran over to deliver the message.
"Madam, the second young master and the eldest young master Han from Yongchang Earl's Mansion are here to see you at the same time."
It goes without saying that in the past, Jiang Yuzhu would definitely meet Jiang Huaiqing first, but at this critical juncture, Hong Feng was not sure.
Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the sky and said, "Take Master Han to the living room. As for my second brother..."
Without thinking, I knew that Jiang Huaiqing came here to complain.
"Hongfeng, bring some fish food to my second brother and trick him into feeding the fat koi in the back garden."
Seeing the koi brings good luck, Jiang Huaiqing can confide his worries to the koi.
Hong Feng twitched her eyes and nodded in agreement. Her wife was really careless.
So Jiang Huaiqing took a basket of fish food and obediently fed the koi in the back garden.
When the fish food was thrown in, all the koi fish floated to the surface, opened their round little mouths and grabbed the food in big mouthfuls, not afraid of people at all.
Jiang Huaiqing poked a yellow koi's head and said sadly, "Tell me, am I born by my mother?"
Saying that you will respect his wishes regarding the marriage is all lies.
If I find him a she-devil, how will he live in the future?
Unless he can defeat Princess Yutan and restore his status as a husband.
"How about I go to Xie Zhao to learn from him?"
Forget about the eldest brother Jiang Huaida, he would definitely ridicule him if he knew what was on his mind. Xie Zhao seems to be more tight-lipped than Jiang Huaida.
Jiang Huaiqing already had a direction and felt relieved.
In the living room, Jiang Yuzhu was instructing the maid to pour tea for Han Zhen.
Jiang Yuzhu has been testing this younger brother who came to her on his own initiative and letting him do what he wants.
Zhang Zhonglai assassinated her, which was related to the cause of Zhang Wanyi's death.
Jiang Yuzhu sent someone to pass the news to Han Zhen, and she also sent someone to look for the maid who used to serve Zhang Wanyi.
"Master, Han Zhen has lived up to your trust."
Since it was difficult to verify what happened, Han Zhen followed Jiang Yuzhu's instructions and started by looking for someone.
As a result, he really found it.
Using the network of relationships that noble families had built up over the years, Han Zhen found Zhang Wanyi's maid in a secret kiln not far from the capital.
The two were the lowest class of flower maidens, imprisoned in a cellar day after day, receiving the lowest class of patrons.
"The manager of the kiln had accepted money and promised to keep the two maids under guard and not give them a chance to see the light of day again."
After two or three years, when things were calm, Han Zhen proposed to buy the person for a large price, and the manager agreed after careful consideration.
"Two maids have washed up and are waiting at the Chuihua Gate."
Han Zhen was very respectful to Jiang Yuzhu. This was his first sincerity.
Since it is impossible to protect the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, it is better to surrender to a wise leader as soon as possible. If you follow the right person, wealth and glory will naturally follow.
Jiang Yuzhu nodded in appreciation and said to Hongli, "Remember to bring money to Mr. Han later."
Jiang Yuzhu will bear the cost of buying the person herself.
In the past two days, people from the Jiang family took action, and Princess Yutan also helped secretly, but none of them were as efficient as Han Zhen.
The two maids were brought along, feeling very uneasy.
The two of them entered the room and did not dare to look around. They immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Luohua Weiyu greets Madam Xie."
Jiang Yuzhu waved her hands and said calmly, "I saved you two to help me solve my doubts. Why did your young lady hang herself in the past?"
"The second question is, Zhang Wanyi came to me before she hanged herself. Could it be related to her depression?"
Zhang Zhong was convinced that Zhang Wanyi was forced to death by Jiang Yuzhu, and there must be something fishy going on.
Thinking about how she had been blamed for so many years, Jiang Yuzhu was furious and asked, "Or was it that Zhang Wanyi and Lu Qingxue were both murdered and then the blame was put on me?"
Luohua's face suddenly turned pale and the panic in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
