The two of them walked home, which was a good opportunity to take a walk and help digest their food.
Shen Heng talked about what happened at the banquet just now: "That woman seemed to be targeting Madam Tang."
"I sent them," Xie Jian said. Although he was a low-ranking official, he was not someone who could be bullied. Yu Shi considered herself clever, but she wasn't the only one who could pull this little trick.
"I guessed it." Shen Heng was not surprised at all: "But who is she?"
"I paid the opera singer some money to perform this play." A traveling opera troupe would do something for money and then leave the imperial capital. Xie Jian said calmly, "It's just a few words. It won't fail."
"An opera singer? I can't tell. When did you arrange this?"
"When you told me Yu's intention. If she doesn't provoke my sister-in-law, then everyone will be in peace." Since she wants to provoke him, he naturally doesn't need to abide by any gentleman's agreement.
Chen Heng nodded. The most intolerable thing about the Yu family was that they came to snatch Min'er so confidently, just to give the eldest brother of the Xie family an extra bargaining chip when he made a choice in the future. Such scheming was disgusting.
In the next few days, Chen Heng received several more posts.
From time to time, he would attend tea parties, flower viewing parties, and the like, and he would interact more often with the ladies of different families.
In the past, Chen Heng's understanding of the court situation came mostly from the guys in Meng's shop. After leaving Meng's shop, she paid more attention to business matters.
After interacting with these ladies, he gained a lot of understanding about the affairs of the women in various mansions and even the dynamics in the court.
"The guard saved the daughter of Lord Fei, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. Why did Lord Fei force his daughter to become a monk?" Xia asked in confusion.
Nanny Feng sighed, "Although Lord Fei is only a fifth-rank official, his daughter was intended to be his concubine. Now, she fell into the water in public and was rescued by the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They have had physical contact. If she marries a guard, it would be embarrassing."
Nanny Feng has seen a lot of things like this.
Chen Heng thought of the concubine that the prince had just married a few days ago, and wondered if Miss Fei's fall into the water was related to this new concubine.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
After Achan opened the door, a woman came in with a box in her hand. She bowed to the people and said, "Madam Chen, this is the dress you wanted."
"Mammy, sister-in-law, come and try on the new clothes I bought for you." Shen Heng said happily.
Nanny Feng and Mrs. Xia looked at each other. They were naturally very happy to have new clothes to wear.
When Xia saw the material, she exclaimed, "Is this silk?"
"Sister-in-law, Madam, please try it quickly." Chen Heng decided that starting from today, she would also make her sister-in-law change from the inside out. Appearance was the easiest.
As Xie Jian rose through the ranks, she was also constantly improving herself, and her sister-in-law should do the same.
If one day, the eldest brother of the Xie family really came, no, even if he didn't come, the eldest sister-in-law should also grow up.
Not for others, just for yourself.
Whether it is a man or a woman, a sense of security is something that you give yourself. As long as people live in groups, being hurt is inevitable, and we may even hurt others inadvertently.
Many people are devastated by this and lose the ability to love themselves and others.
But who in this world is not wounded? Think positively.
The only way to avoid harm is to constantly enrich yourself, become strong inside, and let this strength fight against all kinds of harm.
