Chapter 53 After She Left
After the second and third wives discussed it, they decided to report the matter to the old lady in the mansion.
Liu thought about how it was her mother-in-law who had dissuaded her from doing so two years ago, and she felt somewhat relieved.
My niece had lived in the mansion for more than two years, and at the beginning she did have the idea of strengthening the relationship between the two families.
But later, as they got to know each other better, Liu came to understand Liu Qingwan's personality a little better. This was definitely not the personality a good daughter-in-law should have.
At this moment, she looked at her sister-in-law from the second house with a dark face, and she felt more ashamed. After all, her surname was also Liu!
When Old Lady Xiao in Songhe Hall heard that the sons and daughters-in-law of the two families were coming to her place, she didn't say much.
After everyone was seated, Master Xiao II spoke first: "Mother! Now we want Liu to marry Jinrong. What do you think about this matter..."
After all, the old lady had never agreed to get involved with the Liu family in the first place. Although times have changed, now that this kind of thing has happened, the second master really can't say anything.
The old lady looked at their dejected expressions, but she did not make things difficult for them: "Since that's the case, let's pick a date!"
But after everyone left, her face immediately darkened.
Although Madam Liu was a servant, she had followed the old lady for many years.
Seeing her sitting there for a long time without saying anything, he tentatively asked, "Is the old lady not satisfied with this marriage?"
Madam Xiao snorted, "What can I do if I'm not satisfied? I just hope that the Liu family will be more obedient after what happened last time."
At last she said with a self-deprecating smile, "I now think the same as the second daughter-in-law."
"If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen Miss Xu! She is more generous and has a good temper, and there are no troubles in her family." Old Lady Xiao said after a long time.
Nanny Liu didn't know how to comfort her master. As an old servant in the mansion, she also felt that Miss Xu had a better temper.
Think about the guy in the Rose Courtyard. If he becomes the master, there will probably be a lot of trouble in the future.
But she was just thinking about it. Why should she, a servant, worry about something that the Second Madam couldn't do?
In Jiyunzhai, the bone-biting itch on Xu Shuyao's body gradually subsided, but she had sweated too much today and was really weak.
But she can't just lie there all the time. Otherwise, if the elders ask a familiar doctor to come here, how will she cover it up?
So, the next morning, when she felt a little better, she packed up and went out.
At Songhe Hall, the old lady had asked Chunsheng to come and tell her yesterday that she didn't need to go there to pay her respects today, so Xu Shuyao could only go to Jinhua Hall.
By the way, let’s hear what Liu Qingwan and Xiao Jinrong said when they came back yesterday.
Look at that piece of pastry made by her maid. Was it the culprit that caused the two people to go astray?
Xu Shuyao met her third cousin Xiao Jinshan not far from Jinhua Hall.
Xiao Jinshan also looked pale, which Xu Shuyao could understand.
Chen was unhappy that Liu Qingwan was going to be her sister-in-law, and neither was the third daughter of the Xiao family. She had never liked cousin Liu's Xishi-holding-heart-like behavior.
Xiao Jinshan saw Xu Shuyao from a distance and looked her up and down.
After I came back yesterday, I heard about what happened between Liu Qingwan and my second brother.
Later, I learned from them that cousin Xu seemed to have passed away because she was not feeling well.
After all, the two people before her had been in trouble, so Xiao Jinshan couldn't help but suspect that the person in front of her had also been poisoned by the fierce drug.
But she looks fine now, it doesn't look like anything bad has happened to her.
After Xiao Jinshan finished her inspection, she asked with concern, "Is cousin okay? What happened yesterday?"
Xu Shuyao nodded: "I'm fine. At first I had a stomachache, and then I had a fever. I knew I was not well, so I went straight to the clinic after leaving the Shen Mansion. Later, I took some medicine and I felt much better."
Her words were ambiguous, so let people guess!
If she insisted that she just had a stomachache, it would only arouse suspicion. It would be better to directly admit that she also had fever symptoms.
Xiao Jinshan looked at her again. Her face was a little pale, probably because of the sweat. "Then why did you come? Why don't you rest in Jiyunzhai?"
Xu Shuyao thought to herself, "Can I not come?"
Even standing in front of you, he still looks unconvinced!
But she said softly, "I feel better now, so I came to see my aunt!"
Xiao Jinshan glanced at Jinhua Hall not far away, and approached her with a somewhat depressed look, saying, "You don't know what happened after you left. My mother must be so upset right now."
Although she was very close, her voice was not quiet.
Xu Shuyao raised her eyebrows and waited for her to continue.
"You don't know that cousin Liu was drugged and something happened with second brother..." She was halfway through her sentence when she looked at Xu Shuyao with a red face, raised her eyebrows twice, and had an expression that said you know what I mean.
Xu Shuyao nodded quickly.
Xiao Jinshan thought for a moment and sighed, "Our second branch is really unlucky. Fortunately, I'm getting married next year."
Xu Shuyao smiled.
Isn’t it?
My aunt planned carefully, but she didn't expect that her house would be stolen by others.
I wonder what will happen to the second room in the future!
Given Liu Qingwan's scheming, it's hard to say who will be the final winner between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Xiao Jinshan sighed, and Xu Shuyao was also speechless.
Liu Qingwan became the mistress of the second house, and her cousin who was staying here was afraid that life would become even more difficult in the future.
Xu Shuyao would not tell her third cousin about these thoughts, and only said, "Let's take it one step at a time!"
But I have to say, now that Xiao Jinrong has married, he should be able to feel more at ease about her, right?
In the past, the conflicts between them mainly came from the fact that Xiao Jinrong attached too much importance to his position as a wife and was always wary of his aunt forcing her into his hands.
While Xu Shuyao was thinking about this, Xiao Jinshan hadn't finished her words yet. She sighed and said, "Cousin, let me tell you one more thing. Before you left, didn't Wang Zhujun and I agree to go out and play? I don't know what got into Shi Zhongyu. He started taking off his clothes halfway through the walk, and no matter how the people around him tried to stop him, it was useless. It just so happened that the people led by Shen Jingshu happened to go up to the Star Picking Platform, so they saw the situation below clearly."
There is such a thing?
Xu Shuyao didn't know what expression to use to describe herself at this moment.
In this case, the Chengguo Mansion should blame the Shen family for the incident with Liu Qingwan's Chinese medicine, right?
After all, bad things never come alone.
But even so, Xu Shuyao still has reservations about this.
Shen Jingshu certainly taught the arrogant Shi Zhongyu a lesson.
But it did not cause any impact on her and Liu Qingwan, and Liu Qingwan even solved her own marriage because of it.
Xu Shuyao did not dare to take it lightly, and felt that the road ahead was uncertain and she was walking on thin ice.
