She quickly said, "As for the wedding, your mother-in-law will have someone take care of everything for you. You don't need to worry about any expenses."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, wishing she could immediately return to her residence and have people make arrangements.
Da Zhuang and his group naturally wouldn't take advantage of that.
Shen Qiyin pondered that she had enough money to find a wife for her senior brother, and besides, the house was already ready. She just needed to furnish it before their wedding.
Because of this distraction, Shen Qiyin almost forgot about Shen Cang.
By the time she went to inquire again, the play had already ended.
The person who went to Shen Cang for treatment was actually a shill hired by the owner of a clinic on East Street to cause trouble, with the aim of ruining Shen Cang's reputation and ruining his business. So after Shen Cang was so frightened that he ran away in a panic, the person pretended to have recovered and woken up on his own.
But after this incident, everyone said that Master Shen's medical skills were poor, and he almost killed someone.
Having endured countless glares throughout the day, Shen Cang was seething with anger and couldn't help but blame Jiang Wan for giving him such a terrible idea.
Therefore, upon returning home, he inevitably had to give Jiang Wan a hard time.
Jiang Wan is not the same Madam Shen as before. She understands men's hearts and has the advantage that Shen Cang once had over her, making it easy for her to win him over.
Finally, she added, seemingly unintentionally, "I truly never imagined that the Second Miss could be so heartless. Alas..."
Shen Cang already harbored many grievances against Shen Qiyin, and now, upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, he attributed everything that had happened that day to Shen Qiyin, and naturally, he was completely blameless.
Little did they know that these words had reached Shen Qiyin's ears before the night was even up.
Xianglan held a chicken leg in one hand and a pork chop in the other, and almost cried from the aroma.
Ugh...
These are all Dongyuelou's signature dishes. She surrendered too late. What a bland and tasteless life she used to live.
Shen Qiyin didn't eat as much as Xianglan and Rendong, and she was full quickly. She casually picked out the fish bones for them and asked Xianglan in a distracted manner, "So, how did you know what Aunt Jiang said to Father?"
Xianglan took another big bite of meat, chewing as she spoke: "The little maid who was assigned to serve Aunt Jiang is on good terms with me. I told her that Aunt Jiang is clearly not a peaceful person. If she offends the Second Miss in the future, she might deal with everyone around her as well. I told her to prepare a way out for herself in advance."
"Then she agreed to be our inside man."
"From now on, she will tell me everything that happens in that courtyard, as long as she can find out."
Shen Qiyin smiled warmly and placed a piece of fish into her bowl: "Eat more."
Honeysuckle also put some on her plate: "Yes, yes, eat more, eat more."
Xianglan looked up: "You're full too?"
"No."
"Then why are you only busy putting food on my plate? Why don't you eat any yourself?"
"You eat first, and after you finish, the rest is all mine."
"..." It's Taotie, right? Right?
Actually, it's not entirely Ren Dong's fault. She naturally has a larger appetite than the average woman, and now that she practices martial arts every day, her energy expenditure is even greater.
Fortunately, those meals weren't wasted. She grew taller and was no longer as thin and dark as before. Her face was fair and rosy, so tender that it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.
After dinner, Ren Dong read a book while Shen Qiyin sat beside her, helping her apply medicine.
She had several bruises on her arms, injuries she sustained during the day while on a mission with Xiong Lu and the others.
Perhaps because of her natural strength, she was exceptionally gifted in learning Xiong Lu's kung fu and progressed rapidly. Xiong Lu then began to take her out to spar with others.
For martial arts practitioners, sometimes the benefits of a battle far outweigh those of closed-door arduous training.
Swords have no eyes, and Shen Qiyin naturally didn't want Ren Dong to take any risks, but Ren Dong herself insisted.
When she came back and talked about how she caught the thief all by herself, her eyes lit up.
At that moment, Shen Qiyin suppressed all her worries and finally turned them into a doting smile.
Coming to her senses, she glanced at the book in Ren Dong's hand and looked surprised: "Why are you looking at a military book today?"
Honeysuckle: "I just grabbed it from the shelf."
The books here at Chenxiyin are of all kinds, covering a wide variety of genres.
Madam Shen and Madam Shen always felt that it was useless for girls to study, so they were unwilling to let her spend time on it, and naturally they would not give her money to buy books.
Initially, it was Shen Yaozu who lent her his book.
After she learned to read, she found a job copying books, which allowed her to read and practice writing while earning money. The old lady then turned a blind eye, and Madam Shen stopped saying anything.
Sometimes, when the bookstore wasn't in a hurry, she would simply make an extra copy and keep it for herself.
Honeysuckle doesn't usually like poetry and songs, so she prefers to read miscellaneous notes and travelogues.
I never expected to actually take a liking to "The Art of Deception" today.
She hadn't even turned two pages when she suddenly said thoughtfully, "Sister, I think I know this book..."
"Um?"
Either you've seen it or you haven't, what does "will" mean?
It wasn't until Ren Dong handed the book to Shen Qiyin and let her look at it, and she recited the entire text word for word, that Shen Qiyin realized that the "can" she mentioned meant she could recite it.
Not only can they recite it, but they can also understand its meaning.
Shen Qiyin couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.
Honeysuckle explained, "There used to be a lame old madman in the village. He would mutter these things all day long. After hearing them so many times, I remembered them."
