After finding the problem, Doctor Xie also prescribed a new prescription for Mrs. Shen.
As for the sudden change in the dosage of the medicine, it is difficult to say for the time being whether it was because the clinic took too much or someone in the mansion tampered with it.
Liu Wanyun and Zhang Xinyue decided not to tell Mr. and Mrs. Shen about this matter first, and ordered Mr. Shen not to tell anyone either.
After tossing and turning for a long time, vomiting and fainting, Mrs. Shen was very weak and needed to lie down to rest. Aunt Zhao was very considerate and stayed by her side to take care of her.
This makes the three daughters-in-law of Liu, Guan and Zhang seem ignorant.
However, the three of them didn't want to show off in this regard. After all, they might not be able to take good care of the children and could easily make people angry.
Moreover, Liu Wanyun and Zhang Xinyue both wanted to find out whether it was done by someone in the mansion? Was it accidental or intentional?
If it's intentional, it's a landmine!
It must be ruled out.
Because Madam Shen suddenly fell ill, lunch was prepared by Aunt Zhao. Watching Aunt Zhao instructing the servants and making this and that arrangement, Liu Wanyun thought of a sentence in her mind.
If you can't find the person behind something, then look at who the beneficiary is!
Her intuition was that once Madam Shen fell ill, Aunt Zhao would take over the housekeeping again.
Could it be that Aunt Zhao really did this?
What’s the reason?
Although Madam Shen was strict with her concubines, she was never harsh and gave them everything they needed. Aunt Zhao only had one daughter, so there was no issue of fighting over the family property.
What’s the point of taking care of this family?
We have lived in peace for so many years, so it's not necessary for them to do something like this today. It won't kill people, but it will just make people uncomfortable for a few days.
She was lost in thought and her eyes unconsciously stared at Aunt Zhao for a long time, which naturally attracted the attention of others.
Boss Shen touched her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Wanyun quickly retracted her gaze and smiled, "Nothing..."
Aunt Zhao naturally noticed her gaze and asked gently, "Madam, do you think there's anything you're not satisfied with the food on the table?"
There was no sign of guilt in his expression or actions.
Liu Wanyun couldn't help but think of her mother, who was also a gentle person. She wondered if the two were similar, both having a strong inner core.
"No, they're all delicious. I just saw how busy Auntie is, so I wanted to share some of the work..."
As she said this, she glanced at Zhang Xinyue.
"Leave the responsibility of taking care of Auntie and arranging matters in the mansion to one of us three!"
It was rare for her to take the initiative to be the housekeeper. The men in the Shen family all looked at him with approval, especially the eldest brother Shen, who felt that his wife had grown up and was able to take on responsibilities.
Zhang Xinyue was picking up some food when she happened to pick up a piece of fat. It was difficult to put it back, so she put it in Shen Laosan's bowl. Then she put down her chopsticks and nodded in agreement. "Listen to my eldest sister-in-law. Then leave the affairs of the mansion to us. Auntie should know more about taking care of my aunt than us..."
It's a good opportunity to use the housekeeper to get a feel for the servants and screen out those with problems.
Guan Xiaoyu responded, "Listen to my sister-in-law!"
While saying these words, Liu Wanyun kept looking at Aunt Zhao. Her expression did not show any reluctance, but rather relief, as if she didn't want to care either.
"That's great! Madam has said before that the young ladies should learn to be housekeepers, but you always try to shirk the responsibility and pass it on to me. It's really hard for me~"
These words were said without any regard for the steward Quan.
Liu Wanyun didn't know how to judge for a moment.
They had no choice but to eat in silence, planning to discuss the matter after dinner.
Mr. Shen took this opportunity to announce that for the next few days, until Mrs. Shen recovered from her illness, Liu, Guan and Zhang would be the stewards of the household.
Suddenly, Liu Wanyun felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have used this matter to test the waters. Wasn't this just a big task for herself?
Shortly after the meal, Manager Wu from Tianxiang Silk and Satin Shop came to deliver clothes.
Liu Wanyun went out to receive them. Seeing that only the eldest young lady was there, the shopkeeper gave her all the things and pointed to one of the bundles, whispering, "This is what the young lady wanted."
Then, he changed his voice back to normal, "Young Madam, please take the dress down so that everyone can try it on. If there is anything that doesn't fit, I can take it back and make some adjustments."
Liu Wanyun then sent word for everyone to go to Dongyuan to try on clothes.
The first ones to arrive were Ruonan and Zhaodi, who were trying on clothes. Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue also came.
After the women changed their clothes, they began to admire and compliment each other.
Ruonan was the first to speak. She stared at Liu Wanyun's clothes and said, "Sister-in-law, this outfit is really beautiful. The color suits your skin tone very well."
Zhaodi agreed, "Sister-in-law is really good at choosing and dressing up. Next time we make clothes, we'll ask her to help us choose."
Who doesn’t like to be praised? Liu Wanyun was so flattered by her two sisters-in-law that she was beaming with joy and couldn’t find anything to praise.
Unexpectedly, the special package was opened by Zhang Xinyue who was standing next to him.
She took out the clothes and held them in her hand. "What kind of clothes are these..."
Before he could finish his words, he realized that this was a Tang suit that Liu Wanyun had specially made for him. He quickly stopped talking and prepared to put the clothes back.
Ruonan, however, had sharp eyes. She had been staring at the bundle since she changed her clothes. Recalling the things her sister-in-law had given to Shopkeeper Wu before, she guessed that her sister-in-law and the others must have some private goods that she wanted to make separately.
Seeing this, she immediately stepped forward, pretending to be unintentional, and picked up the dress, "This dress is very beautiful!"
Liu Wanyun glared at Zhang Xinyue, but there was nothing she could do but let them watch.
Ruonan tried the dress on herself and praised it, "I didn't know when Tianxiang Silk Shop came up with this style. It's really elegant!"
