Chapter 135 I Have a Helper (2/2)



"good."

When Aunt Feng heard that Xiao Min'er was back, she happily came over with the pastries she had made. She was alone and saw that the little kid liked the pastries.

Shen Heng casually asked about Mei'er's affairs.

Nanny Feng said calmly, "He was beaten to death."

"Beat him to death?" Shen Heng looked at her in shock.

This kind of thing was common to Madam Feng, so she wasn't surprised. "And all the servants who were involved in this incident that day were beaten to death or sold off in front of the young lady. Madam Qiu has been taken to the manor, and she will die of old age there for the rest of her life."

Chen Heng couldn't describe the feeling in her heart at this moment. She felt like she was being sacrificed.

"I heard that the young lady had a high fever that night and was talking nonsense." After all, she was the one who raised the young lady, so Nanny Feng still felt sorry for her.

Not to mention Liu Zhiyue, even if it was herself, if several people were beaten to death in front of her, Shen Heng would not be able to bear it all at once.

"Madam Shen, when you have time, come and accompany me to look at the feng shui." Madam Feng said with a smile.

"Looking at Feng Shui? Is Aunt Feng moving?"

"Yes. I'm going back to my hometown in a few days. I'm looking for a beautiful place with clear water and mountains." Seeing Madam Shen's puzzled expression, Madam Feng laughed heartily for the first time: "It's the cemetery."

"Auntie will live a long life." Xiao Miner said from the side.

"This child is really good at talking." Nanny Feng held Xiao Min'er in her arms. If she had kissed him when he was a baby, her great-grandson would be this big now.

In the next few days, Xie Jian seemed to become very busy.

Sometimes he would be taken away by Gu Feng just after he came back.

Xia had been telling Xie Jian to study hard, as the imperial examination was not far away. When she heard him say that he was with Lord Lu and that he had not fallen behind in his studies, she felt relieved.

Two days before the winter solstice, there was a light snowfall, but it did not affect travel.

Taking advantage of the break, Chen Heng accompanied Madam Feng to look at Feng Shui.

Speaking of Feng Shui, Nanny Feng had already asked a Feng Shui master to look at it and selected three places. This time, she asked Shen Heng to accompany her to choose the location.

The ox cart went out of the city and arrived at the foot of a nearby mountain.

Chen Heng saw many people carrying baskets and walking up the mountain in groups.

Nanny Feng said, "The snow is likely to get heavy in the next few days. Everyone should take advantage of the good weather to pay respects to their ancestors."

Speaking of ancestor worship, Chen Heng realized that the Xie family had never done any ancestor worship in the past. Xie Jian had said three months ago that if the injustice was not redressed, they would have no face to worship their ancestors.

The first place that Mammy liked was halfway up the mountain, facing the imperial city and directly opposite the canal. However, there were three large trees in front blocking the view, so it couldn't be said to be very good.

"There's a family cemetery behind here, so you won't be lonely after a hundred years." Nanny Feng said with a smile.

Although Nanny Feng had a smile on her face, Shen Heng could still hear the loneliness in her words. An old lady like Nanny, who had served in the palace all her life, would usually be treated well by the palace, so there was no need for her to worry about this.

Chen Heng tried to find some light-hearted topics to talk about. After two or three incense sticks of time, the road under her feet became quite difficult to walk on. However, after a while, the ground suddenly became clear.

"Mammy, this place is nice." Shen Heng looked at the open space in front of her. She could also see the Imperial City and the canal, but they were a little off to the side.

"I like this place too," Nanny Feng pointed to a spot not far away. "A benefactor of mine is buried there. If there really is a world after death, I can repay him."

Chen Heng only glanced at it, then looked back at it. There was a small path on the lower left with many pedestrians on it, among whom was a familiar figure who looked a lot like Lord Lu.
