Chapter 85 Living in the Liang Family
Mo Yunwan's ribs were injured again. After the doctor re-bandaged her, he ordered her to stay in bed and rest.
Shen Qingyuan was not willing to stay with her, so only Chunxi and Qingshu were with her.
The next day, Mrs. Liang came to the clinic to visit in person.
Although Liang Weimin looked a little old, Mrs. Liang was in excellent condition. She had a plump figure, round and smooth figure, and exuded a noble air.
Mrs. Liang was not as friendly as Liang Weimin. She looked very proud and did not take Chunxi and Qingshu, the two servants, seriously at all. After entering the house, she pulled Mo Yunwan and called her "sister".
"My dear sister, you must have suffered a lot over the years. I can't even imagine how you managed to get to where you are today."
Mo Yunwan lay in bed, her face pale. Seeing how distressed Madam Liang was, tears welled up in her eyes again. "Back then, Shen Lang was also ordered to arrest a murderer in another place. My aunt was afraid that something might happen to Shen Lang, so she decided to let me marry her. I really wanted to leave a descendant for Shen Lang, so I risked my life to find him. But I didn't expect to encounter robbers on the way and accidentally fell off a cliff."
At this point, Mo Yunwan burst into tears, and Madam Liang hurried to comfort her: "My dear sister, at that time, Lord Shen's life or death was uncertain, and you were not only willing to marry him, but you also dared to travel thousands of miles to find him. Such courage and such friendship are truly rare in this world."
Madam Liang's words touched Mo Yunwan's heart, and her tone immediately took on a tragic tone: "Although this marriage was arranged by my aunt, I have actually long been secretly in love with Shen Lang. If I hadn't fallen off the cliff and been seriously injured and lost my memory, I would have found a way to return to Shen Lang even if I died."
"It turns out my sister has lost her memory. How pitiful."
Mrs. Liang was very flattering. Mo Yunwan wiped her tears and said, "I have been working for the miracle doctor's family to repay his kindness. It was not until the end of last year when I recalled some scattered memories that I left the miracle doctor and went out to look for my relatives. I didn't expect to encounter a flood in Xuzhou again. The luggage containing my travel expenses was washed away by the flood. I could only squeeze into the charity hall with other disaster victims to spend my days. Perhaps it was God's mercy that I met Chen Lang again."
The lovers finally met again, and Mrs. Liang was so moved that she hugged Mo Yunwan and cried.
After Mo Yunwan calmed down, Madam Liang asked tentatively, "My dear sister, have you been bullied in Xuzhou these days? If so, please tell me and I will have them tied up and brought to you to kowtow and apologize!"
Mo Yunwan shook her head without hesitation: "No, Lord Liang was very good at disaster relief. Not long after the flood, all the victims were properly resettled. The charity hall was well managed by the government officials. I felt very safe staying in the charity hall and was not bullied at all."
Mrs. Liang originally looked at Mo Yunwan with a defensive look, but after hearing Mo Yunwan's answer, her eyes turned into a sincere smile. She immediately took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and put it on Mo Yunwan's hand.
"My dear sister, you are so affectionate and grateful. I feel close to you the moment I see you. If you are willing, I will be your real sister from now on. If Lord Shen dares to let you down, I will be the first to disagree!"
Madam Liang was quite generous, and Mo Yunwan didn't shy away. She stroked the gold bracelet on her wrist and called softly, "Wanniang greets my sister."
After recognizing the relatives, Madam Liang was not polite and immediately ordered Chunxi: "Go find a sedan chair and carry your young mistress to the Liang Mansion to recuperate."
Qingshu felt it was inappropriate and was about to refuse, but Chunxi spoke first: "Madam, it is really kind of you to let my wife come to your house to recuperate. However, my master has always been frugal. He didn't bring much money with him this time. I don't know where I can borrow a sedan chair..."
Before Chunxi could finish her words, the maidservant beside Madam Liang stuffed a silver ingot into her hand and said, "Go out, turn right, and walk two blocks. There is a car dealership. You can bargain for the price based on your ability. The rest is your reward."
Chunxi smiled happily, thanked for the reward happily, and took Qingshu out to rent a sedan chair.
After the two left, Mrs. Liang asked someone to find a doctor to prescribe some high-quality tonic for Mo Yunwan.
Where no one could see, Mrs. Liang raised the corners of her lips sarcastically.
I thought the imperial envoy sent by the court was very capable.
As a result, before the investigation even began, a lady appeared, pretending to be dead.
A weak woman who has been missing for many years alone would be dead even if she returned home, and it is even more impossible for her to be accepted by her husband's family. So no matter what Mrs. Shen had experienced in Xuzhou before, she had to grit her teeth and say that the government's disaster relief last year was timely and effective, and the city was peaceful and tranquil.
This is the only way to ensure her innocence.
They don't even need to find any witnesses, Mrs. Shen will do her best to persuade them.
The clinic was not far from the Liang family. Chunxi spent fifty cents to rent a sedan chair and another thirty cents to hire two people to carry it.
There was still a lot of silver left. Chunxi weighed it in his hand and felt that it looked a bit mercenary.
Qingshu couldn't help but whispered, "Young Madam, I think you should return the silver to Madam Liang, otherwise it will have a bad impact on the adults."
"What's wrong with that? Is this little reward enough to be considered a bribe?"
It doesn't even reach the level of bribery, but when others see people around adults behaving like this, they will definitely think that the adults' seriousness is just an act.
Qingshu was about to persuade him again when he heard Chunxi tut-tut: "I was going to give you half, but since you don't want it, I'll keep it all."
“…”
The servants of the Liang family acted quickly, and when Mo Yunwan was carried back to the Liang family, the room prepared for her had already been arranged.
The room was decorated according to the woman's preferences, with heavy curtains and incense burning in the room.
As soon as Chunxi raised her eyes, she saw the lifelike Shu embroidery screen, the priceless Ru porcelain vase, the clear and precious Yunyan gauze, and the step-out bed made of fine nanmu wood.
The seemingly fresh and elegant bedroom exudes nobility everywhere, which is completely different from the simplicity and plainness when Liang Weimin welcomed Shen Qingyuan that day.
Madam Liang had already arranged a courtyard full of maids and servants to take care of Mo Yunwan, and Chunxi and Qingshu were quickly driven out of the house.
The Liang family's housekeeper said to them with a stern face: "The people arranged by the madam will do their best to take care of Madam Shen. Since you two are men, it is inconvenient for you to live in the backyard. I can only ask you to squeeze into the servants' room."
Qingshu didn't care, but how could Chunxi squeeze into the room with him? He was about to refuse, but Chunxi said first: "It's not unfair, it's not unfair. As long as I can stay here to take care of the young lady, we can live anywhere."
After passing through the hanging flower gate, the head nanny called a servant to take them to the servants' room.
Chunxi was very adaptable. After walking for a while, he became friends with the servant named Zhou Er.
In the evening, Shen Qingyuan came to Liang's house after a busy day, and saw Chunxi standing on a low stool, eating fried peanuts, and hanging out with someone.
"Brother Cao, only after meeting you did I realize what it means to regret not meeting earlier!"
"Brother Zhou, from now on you are my real brother!"
Seeing that the two were about to burst into tears, Shen Qingyuan strode forward and carried them behind him.
"Eh? Sir, you're here."
Chunxi's face was filled with joy. Shen Qingyuan pushed Zhou Er's hand away and said solemnly, "You guys continue. I want to talk to my followers."
