"Well, I guess we know each other. I've been to that cloth shop with a few girls before. When the shopkeeper Qi heard that I was from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, he gave me a discount.
Later I found out that he was Madam Qi's son. That Caiyun Cloth Shop was also Madam Qi's dowry shop.
She had been there once two years ago, but later heard that it was Liu's dowry shop, and she never went there again.
But she was sure that Shopkeeper Qi was indeed Madam Qi's son.
"Then if this Shopkeeper Qi is Madam Qi's son, then it makes sense. Liu or Chen Ke must have said something to Shopkeeper Qi, such as blaming me for Madam Qi's death. Then it would be reasonable for him to cause trouble for me."
"But, Madam Qi's death is not your fault, why would he bother you?" Ningxue asked puzzledly.
"He doesn't dare to cause trouble for the Liu family, so if he wants revenge, he can only cause trouble for me."
Ningxiang and Ningxue thought Xia Tian’s analysis made sense and nodded.
"What if he still doesn't admit it?" Ningxiang asked.
"There's no way they won't admit it, but at least we now know who's behind this. We have to be more vigilant in the future."
There was no surveillance in ancient times, and it would be difficult for Zhang Datou to get the shopkeeper Qi to confess without witnesses.
I guess this matter will end up in nothing.
Xia Tian sighed, there would definitely be more such things happening in the future.
In the evening, after Shen Nian came back, she told Shen Nian about the restaurant again.
"Well, I understand. Don't worry about it for now. I'll arrange for someone to investigate secretly." Shen Nian thought for a while and said, "Also, the person who assassinated us that day has now become clearer. My father sent people to investigate. This matter is probably related to the Lingxiu Marquis' Mansion."
Today, when Marquis Wu'an came to him to talk about this, he had actually guessed it in his mind a long time ago, but it would be more beneficial for him if his father found out personally.
As long as my father's trust in Liu continues to decrease, he will doubt her no matter what she does in the future.
When disappointment accumulates to a certain amount, that's when he takes action.
"Okay, then be careful when you go out next time. If those people do it once, they will do it again."
"Well, I know, don't worry." Chen Nian took Xia Tian's hand and rubbed it gently, "I'll leave Mu Feng to you. I'll feel more at ease when you go out with him."
"Okay." Xia Tian nodded.
After chatting for a while, the two of them washed up and rested.
The next day, Shen Nian went to the morning court first and came back after it was over.
The Marquis's Mansion was led by Liu, and they went to the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion to attend the third-day bathing banquet.
Liu had been under house arrest for almost five months. Today was the third day of Shen Hui's son's birth. As the legal mother, the old lady was afraid of gossip if she didn't go, so she decided to lift her house arrest and let her take the women in the mansion to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion.
Although today is only the child's third birthday, the Ning'an Marquis Mansion has invited relatives and friends.
As Shen Hui's family, they arrived quite early, but the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion became lively in a short while.
Other guests also arrived one after another.
Xia Tian followed Liu, the second lady and others to pay their respects to the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an.
Lady Ning'an was grateful to her for saving her daughter-in-law that day, and she held her hand affectionately and talked to her for a long time.
Liu, who was listening nearby, only then realized this and her eyes darkened.
This damn girl actually has such precious medicine in her hands?
But isn't she just a farm girl? Why does she have so many things?
Could it be that the people she sent out to investigate were also fooling her?
Liu was puzzled and decided to investigate the matter when she had free time.
Xia Tian had no idea that Liu had become suspicious of her again. After exchanging pleasantries with the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an for a while, she suggested that she wanted to go to Shen Hui's courtyard first. The wife of the Marquis of Ning'an arranged for a maid to take them there.
Girls like Shen Lan, Shen Yi, Shen Yan and others also wanted to see the baby, so they followed her.
Shen Hui is the wife of the prince of Ning'an Marquis's Mansion. Since she got married, she has taken over the housekeeping power of Ning'an Marquis' Mansion. The courtyard where she lives is not far from the courtyard of Ning'an Marquis' wife, and she arrived there in a short while.
Because today was her son's third birthday, Shen Hui had already dressed up early even though she was still in confinement.
But he didn't get up to move around and just stayed in bed to rest.
When Xia Tian entered, Shen Hui immediately greeted him with a smile, "Come quickly, I'm almost bored to death by myself, it's a good opportunity for you to talk to me."
Looking at the other sisters who came in, Shen Hui greeted them with a smile, and then asked Bi Yuan to take them to see the baby next door.
After seeing the person leave, Shen Hui patted the side of her bed and asked Xia Tian to sit over and talk.
Xia Tian didn't hesitate and went over to sit on the stool beside the bed.
"Sister, how is your recovery? You look much better." Xia Tian asked with a smile. Compared with that night, she looked much better and her face was rosy. It seemed that she had recovered well in the past two days.
"I'm much better now. I can even walk a few steps, but your brother-in-law asked Bi Yuan to look after me and let me stay in bed to rest. Now I'm almost suffocating." Shen Hui complained with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, this is also for your own good. After all, you lost too much blood that day. You still need to rest more and replenish your blood, otherwise you will easily feel dizzy."
"That's true. Sometimes I do get dizzy when I get too excited."
Xia Tian tried to comfort her, but she actually felt dizzy. It seemed that the heavy bleeding that day was too severe.
There was no one else in the room at the moment, so Xia Tian reached into her sleeve pocket and took out a porcelain bottle. She opened it and took a look. There were ten pills inside. They were the pills she had made herself in the past few days to replenish her blood and qi.
Handing it to Shen Hui, "Sister, take one of these pills every day. It will help you recover."
