Chapter 219 Feng Learns the Truth
"Little rabbit, little rabbit..." Xiao Fubao immediately put down the little white rabbit in his hand, ran over with his short legs, and picked up the little white rabbit.
The little rabbit was very well-behaved. It didn't move at all and let Xiao Fubao knead it.
Mrs. Wan Er and Old Lady Wan were both dumbfounded. Where did this little white rabbit come from for no reason?
"Mom, when we came back just now, the door was closed, right?" Wan Ersao asked uncertainly.
Old Mrs. Wan was also a little uncertain at this time. She had just helped Liu hold the child and had not really noticed whether the door was open or closed.
"That should be the case. Mother doesn't remember it very clearly."
Wan Ersao looked around and had no idea how the rabbit got in. She felt a little scared.
"Mom, shall we accept this little rabbit?" Little Fubao held the little white rabbit with some difficulty and looked at Wan Ersao with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
Mrs. Wan smiled and said without thinking: "If Fubao likes it, just keep it. Maybe it's the rabbit that was sold for a hundred coins just now?"
Mrs. Wan was reminded by Mrs. Wan's words. She felt that this rabbit might be the one. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? How could there be a rabbit in the house out of nowhere?
Finally, Xiao Fubao contentedly placed both little rabbits in the room. The two rabbits were well-behaved and did not run around. They circled around Xiao Fubao, making her giggle.
The next morning, Old Mrs. Wan got up early. She slept with Xiao Fubao last night. Second Sister Wan slept with Liu and could help take care of the baby.
After a simple breakfast in the inn, Mrs. Wan took Mr. Wan's second sister-in-law and Liu to find out some news, leaving Mr. Wan at home to look after the children.
Old Lady Wan asked for directions all the way to the county government office, where she saw two stone lions and two yamen runners at the gate. Wearing the yamen runners' uniforms, Old Lady Wan's legs felt weak. After several months of exile, the yamen runners did not leave a very good impression on Old Lady Wan.
Wan Ersao was also a little frightened. After all, they were exiles, and it was indeed a bit timid to visit them now.
Finally, the yamen runner saw the three people and shouted, "This is a very important place for the yamen. You are not allowed to stay here for long. Leave immediately."
Old Mrs. Wan was so scared that she turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, a woman came out of the yamen. Old Mrs. Wan took a closer look and found that it was Nanny Feng who had gone to Shizi Village to pick up Shen.
Old Lady Wan quickly waved to Aunt Feng, "Aunt Feng."
Nanny Feng was about to go out to do some work when she heard someone calling her. She quickly looked over and saw it was Old Lady Wan, so she quickly walked forward to greet her.
"Hey, isn't this the old lady? Why are you in the county? Are you here to see my aunt?"
Nanny Feng looked at Old Lady Wan who was still holding the gift and asked speculatively.
Old Lady Wan nodded quickly: "Yeah, that's right. We came to the county town to do some business. I haven't seen Shen for a long time, so I came to see her. I wonder how your aunt is doing now?"
Nanny Feng was very friendly. She took the old lady's hand and led her inside.
"Madam, isn't it good for my aunt to live in the county government? The county magistrate is famous for loving his sister, but if my aunt knew that you came to see her, she would definitely be happier. Stop standing there and follow me in."
Old Mrs. Wan quickly followed Nanny Feng's footsteps. With Nanny Feng leading the way, they entered the backyard of the county government office smoothly.
There is a small door next to the county government office, which leads directly to the backyard of the county government office. They went through the corner gate.
Old Mrs. Wan kept her head down all the way, not daring to look around. Second Sister-in-law Wan and Mrs. Liu were even more cautious, not daring to glance around at all.
Nanny Feng glanced back at the three of them, a satisfied smile flashing in her eyes. Although these three were from the countryside, they knew the rules, which was good.
Nanny Feng led people all the way to Shen's courtyard.
There were two courtyards behind the county government office. Shen Jinyuan arranged his sister to live in the backyard, while he lived in the front yard. The brother and sister ate in the flower hall in the backyard.
The county magistrate has not married yet, and all affairs in the courtyard are managed by Shen, but she finds it very boring and is afraid that she will bring shame to her brother if she fails to manage it well, so she is somewhat timid. However, because of the pressure from the county magistrate, the servants dare not act rashly.
"Auntie, look, who's here?"
Nanny Feng's voice was filled with joy, and she led people directly into Shen's room.
Shen was doing needlework. Upon hearing the words, she quickly put down her work and walked out. She saw Old Lady Wan, Second Sister-in-law Wan, and Liu behind Nanny Feng.
Shen's eyes immediately turned red. She walked quickly forward, holding the hands of Old Mrs. Wan and Second Sister-in-law Wan, then looked at Liu, extremely excited.
"Aunt, sister, why did you come just now?"
"We came to the county town to do some work and came to see you on the way. We built a new house some time ago and it was the autumn harvest, so we didn't have time to come and see you."
Because Nanny Feng was nearby, Old Lady Wan didn't dare tell the truth. She just said that she came to visit on the way and would talk later after figuring out the situation. Anyway, now that she had met Shen in person, she could tell her everything.
When Shen heard what Old Lady Wan said, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes. Isn't he here to propose marriage?
Old Mrs. Wan glanced at Nanny Feng secretly, and seeing that she had no intention of leaving, she wiped away Shen's tears. It was only a few months later that Shen looked completely different.
She had an oval face and big eyes, and was naturally beautiful. After several months of rest, her skin lost its yellow color and became fairer, and her face gained some flesh. She was wearing silk and satin, and gold hairpins and pearls on her head, and she looked even more like a wealthy lady.
Old Lady Wan suddenly backed out. Shen's current life was undoubtedly a blessing. If she really married her eldest son, wouldn't she have to go back to Shizi Village and suffer together? Not to mention the county magistrate, she would not be willing to let her daughter go.
However, Mrs. Wan decided to find out the situation first so that she could explain it to Boss Wan when she returned.
"We heard about your wedding as soon as we entered the county. The county magistrate introduced you to a good marriage. You will have a good life in the future. You don't have to suffer anymore. You don't have to dig for food in the soil like us. You look how good it is now. You have silk and satin, servants and food. I have no shortage of food and drink. I have never had such a blessing in my life."
Shen's face turned pale, and she immediately grabbed Mrs. Wan's hand and shook her head vigorously: "Aunt, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? What good marriage? Why don't I know?"
When Old Mrs. Wan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that there must be a misunderstanding, so she repeated the news she had heard at the gate of the county town.
Shen was furious and cursed: "I want to see who is gossiping. Let me find him and I will kick him out. He takes the master's money and still spreads rumors about the master. He is really a traitor."
Shen looked at Aunt Feng and saw that she looked strange. Then she thought about what Old Lady Wan said and asked Aunt Feng coldly, "Aunt Feng, do you know something? You didn't tell me? This shouldn't be groundless, right?"
Madam Feng lowered her head and said, "Madam, I serve in the inner courtyard and I don't know what's going on in the outer courtyard. If this matter gets out, it should have spread from the outer courtyard. Maybe it's something with the master. After all, now there are so many people trying to curry favor with the master. Maybe someone is trying to curry favor with the master and is targeting the aunt. After all, everyone in the county knows how much the master cares about the aunt."
However, Shen couldn't sit still anymore. She wanted to go to the front yard immediately to ask Shen Jinyuan why he interfered in her marriage?
"Madame Feng, please wait on me first. I'll go to the front yard to look for the master."
Shen left after saying this.
