Chapter 62: Full score for comprehension
Seeing Shen, Wei Jing's eyes were red with excitement. She said in surprise and affectionately, "Aunt Shen, you're in Beijing!"
In order to marry Xie Zhao, Wei Jing sent people to Jiangnan all year round to keep an eye on the Xie family.
Shen brought her servants to the capital, and Wei Jing got the news soon after.
She looked forward to it every day, dragging her sick body out in a carriage, just to create a chance to meet Shen.
Since Xie Zhao's approach doesn't work, then I'll just try to please my future mother-in-law.
God opened his eyes and gave Wei Jing a great opportunity!
"Your forehead is broken. You need to find a place to stop the bleeding. There is a clinic in front. The doctor is very good."
Wei Jing ran around and was very attentive.
Shen's expression eased slightly, and she pressed her handkerchief to her forehead and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Wei."
Shen had been to the capital no more than three times, and the driver was from the Xie family in Jiangnan and was not familiar with the roads.
Shen was a little confused by Wei Jing's attentiveness.
Shen had heard some news from the capital, and she had also heard that Prime Minister Wei was interested in bringing Wei Jing and Xie Zhao together.
It was just a rumor, and Shen didn't take it seriously.
Wei Jing shook her head and said guiltily, "It was because of my driver that Aunt Shen was injured."
Shen had heard that young ladies in the capital were domineering, but after seeing that Wei Jing was brave enough to take responsibility, she had a good impression of her.
The two carriages stopped at the clinic. Wei Jing asked the doctor to bandage her wound and repeatedly told him, "Doctor, my aunt's forehead is bleeding. You must bandage it well."
Although Shen felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration, she still felt good about it.
Wei Jing asked for the ointment and asked carefully: "Doctor, are there any taboos on eating after being injured?"
The doctor didn't have much patience to begin with, and he rolled his eyes when he was annoyed by the questions: "Taboos? There are so many taboos. It's best not to eat. If you came a step later, the wound would have healed and there would be no need to bandage it at all!"
Upon hearing this, Shen smiled good-naturedly: "Yes, the injury was not serious."
Everything Wei Jing had planned was ruined by the doctor's few words. She was so angry that she jumped to her feet. She pursed her lips tightly to hold back her retort.
Wei Jing reminded herself that Shen liked gentle and polite ladies, and she must not reveal any of her true temperament until her wish was fulfilled.
When I came out of the clinic, the last afterglow of the sunset disappeared into the sky, leaving only a gray scene.
At dusk, the restaurants on both sides of the street are decorated with lights and are bustling with activity.
Wei Jing wanted to have more contact with Shen, so she said shamelessly, "Auntie has missed dinner, how about we go to a restaurant?"
There are several major cuisines in Beijing restaurants, and Wei Jing knows them all.
Shen just wanted to inquire about the news in the capital, so she happily went there.
Sitting in the private room, Shen sipped her tea and asked, "Does Miss Wei often visit my daughter-in-law?"
Speaking of Jiang Yuzhu, Shen's eyes were filled with smiles. Someone who could make Xie Xuan and Shen Zhilan praise her in their letters must be very kind in dealing with people.
Especially Xie Xuan, who is either black or white and has a straightforward personality. He is definitely not someone who can be bought off with money.
Wei Jing squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand and smiled, "Mrs. Xie is quite busy and doesn't hang out with us sisters very often."
Before Shen could find a topic, Shuxiang behind Wei Jing muttered, "She's not busy at all, she's busy having a private meeting..."
Wei Jing immediately said angrily: "Shut up!"
The master and servant play the good guy and the bad guy respectively, and they work well together.
Shen paused holding the teacup, frowned and asked, "What secret meeting?"
Wei Jing looked flustered and accidentally knocked over the teacup. She waved her hands randomly, signaling the maid not to say anything.
Shuxiang stepped forward and said, "Miss, even if you try to hide it for her, it won't be hidden. The news has spread all over the capital!"
Afterwards, Shuxiang spoke eloquently about how Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao appeared in the brothel at the same time, and listed several witnesses.
During the meal, Shen's face was extremely dark. She suppressed her anger and did not lose her temper on the spot.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Wei Jing took the initiative to pay the bill after the meal and left first.
On the way, Wei Jing was smiling. She took off the twisted gold bracelet on her wrist and put it directly on Shuxiang's hand.
When it comes to cleverness, no one can compare to Shuxiang!
Shen sat in the private room for a long time. When Nanny Shen came back to get confirmation after asking for the news, she immediately collapsed on the chair as if she had lost her temper: "Nanny Shen, blame me, it's all my fault!"
Shen felt more and more guilty and just felt sorry for the Jiang family.
Xie Zhao was exceptionally intelligent since childhood. Whether it was studying or practicing martial arts, he never caused Shen any worry. When people in the clan mentioned him, they were extremely envious and said that Xie Zhao was a child who came to repay his gratitude.
"This isn't a way to repay a favor, this is clearly a way to seek revenge!"
Shen lowered her hands helplessly, her understanding was perfect, "Yuanhe went to the brothel to have fun, and Yuzhu had to chase him to cover up for him. She was about to become a widow, but she still had to consider Yuanhe's face, and ended up bringing disgrace upon herself."
Shen felt extremely uncomfortable, her eyes were red, "Madam Shen, look at what Miss Wei and the maid said, how much they looked down on Yuzhu, it's obvious that my daughter-in-law has suffered a great injustice, and she has no way to express her suffering. The Xie family owes her too much."
All night long, Shen stayed awake until dawn, her mind full of how to make it up to Jiang Yuzhu.
Silver, jewels, accessories?
These are external things, which the Jiang family has no shortage of.
After much thought, the problem still lies with Xie Zhao.
Shen gritted her teeth and said, "We are both women, how can I not distinguish right from wrong and only favor my own son?"
Aunt Shen was also in a difficult situation. While comforting Shen, she also had to flatter her: "You are the most open-minded mother-in-law. Miss Jiang is blessed!"
Upon hearing this, Shen sighed and said, "Yuzhu was pampered by her parents, but now that she is married to the Xie family, she has to help clean up the mess. If she hadn't saved him in time, how could Xie Wu be alive?"
People should have a conscience. Xie Zhao was good in every way except that he lacked emotions when he was reincarnated.
Shen was desperate and tried every possible means to find a Taoist priest to perform a ritual.
…
In the third month of the lunar calendar, the sun is dazzling but not warm enough.
Jiang Yuzhu sat in the carriage, opened the windows on both sides, the window screens fluttered, and a breeze with a faint fragrance blew in, blowing away the stuffiness in the carriage.
I just discussed with the owner of the Dequan class and choreographed the play, making it a one-to-one restoration.
About a few days later, the new play came out.
Jiang Yuzhu could almost foresee that the capital was about to explode again. She didn't want to be the topic of discussion every time, so it was time to change people.
Jiang Yuzhu was in a very good mood, humming a little tune, but before she could be happy for too long, she soon noticed something strange.
Hongli noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"pain."
Jiang Yuzhu covered her lower abdomen with her hands, sweat appearing on her forehead.
The original owner had a cold body problem, and every time her period came, she would feel excruciating pain.
Jiang Yuzhu was in good condition in the morning. She thought she could successfully avoid it by drinking brown sugar water.
Hongli lifted the curtain and looked: "Madam, the Jingzhao Yin Yamen is in front, please go to the back Yamen to rest for a while."
Jiang Yuzhu nodded slightly and was helped down by Hongli and Hongfeng. The few steps she took towards the back house felt like she was walking on cotton.
Nanny Shen, who was squatting at the door, was full of energy and reported to Shen: "Look, the young lady has come to the yamen!"
