Chapter 146 Are those two women from the Duke’s Mansion?
What?
"Didn't your lordship's first wife pass away?" Shen Heng asked in surprise.
"Who said that?"
"Everyone in Nanming County says so." Everyone thinks so.
“Rumors stop with the wise.”
Chen Heng: "..." Well, she's not a wise person. Then she asked with a spirited look: "Then the lady looks very beautiful to me, why did you divorce?"
Incompatibility of personalities?
The woman had a crush on someone? And then this man stole her away?
Does Lord Lu have a lover? Is he keeping his virginity for Bai Yueguang?
This look of interest, just like those women on the street who love to ask questions, Xie Jian asked back: "Why are you so interested in the Master's affairs?"
"You know you're not interested. Tell me."
Xie Jian said unhappily, "When I was fifteen, my teacher went on a journey. That same year, my family arranged a marriage for him, despite his wishes. When I was seventeen, I wrote home, saying I had no interest in marriage and asked them to cancel the engagement. Later, I asked them to explain why. They said the fault was his, not the woman's. They shouldn't let rumors ruin a woman's life."
Shen Heng nodded. Since she had taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, she would also take full responsibility. Women have a difficult life in this world, and Lord Lu is considerate of this.
"Who would have thought that the girl was determined to marry the Master? The Lu family didn't want the Master to break off the engagement, so they found someone to marry the girl on his behalf."
Chen Heng thought that the woman must be very fond of Lord Lu: "What happened next?"
"When the Master was twenty years old, he passed the imperial examination and was transferred to a frontier post. He returned home and told the woman to find someone else to marry, and then they divorced."
Chen Heng thought there was more to come, but Xie Jian didn't say anything further: "That's it?"
"That's all."
Without all the entanglements of love and hate, they divorced so readily? What Chen Heng was even more curious about was: "Why is Lord Lu unwilling to get married?"
"I don't know." Xie Jian felt strange when he heard Brother Gu Feng talking about this. He had a suspicion, but it had not been confirmed yet. When he confirmed it one day, maybe he would have the answer.
But if that is true, the Master's life must be sad.
When the two of them arrived home, Xia was packing the charcoal they had bought. She immediately stood up and took Ah Heng's hand to ask about interesting things in the palace.
Chen Heng then recounted everything she had seen and heard.
The following days returned to normal.
Fortunately, Shen Heng went to the Meng family's big shop on Dingguo Street, and her monthly salary increased by half.
And the end of the year is approaching.
On New Year's Eve, Min'er came. He wanted to celebrate the New Year here and stay for two nights. On the second day of the New Year, the eunuch Wang would come out of the palace, and he would go back to accompany his grandfather.
Nanny Feng also had the New Year's Eve dinner here. Xia lit a charcoal fire in the kitchen. The five of them sat around the charcoal fire, drinking tea and chatting, while also roasting sweet potatoes and rice cakes.
Laughter could be heard from the kitchen from time to time.
At this time, little Xie Min exclaimed: "Wow, there is a lot of snow outside, we can have a snowball fight."
The snow started falling in the morning, and the heavy snow never stopped. Seeing Min'er running into the yard to play in the snow, Chen Heng also became excited.
"Auntie, watch this." Xiao Min'er picked up a snowball and threw it at Chen Heng.
Chen Heng was caught off guard and was hit on the shoulder, so she also picked up a snowball and threw it at him.
The two of them immediately had a lot of fun.
Nanny Feng and Mrs. Xia watched with great amusement.
