Seeing that there were no members of the second wife's family in the courtyard, Shen Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly told her husband her plan word for word.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Shen Yunsheng said confidently, "Didn't Granny Yang want Wanqing to marry Li Tianci? Then let's play along and tell everyone the news of Li Tianci and Pearl's engagement."
Xiao Jingchuan had already planned this. "I'll go find Li Tianci's parents later, explain the situation to them, and give them some benefits to get their cooperation. Once they agree to cooperate, things will be much easier."
Shen Yunsheng nodded repeatedly, "My husband is so thoughtful. After thinking it over, I've decided to go to Li Tianci's house to meet him."
Xiao Jingchuan agreed with his wife's point of view; there were some things that were better left for his wife to handle.
"My wife, don't tell Father, Mother, and Wanqing about this yet. I don't want them to worry."
Xiao Jingchuan was worried that his father might let him down at a crucial moment because he still had feelings for the old poisonous woman.
Shen Yunsheng understood her husband's concerns. Her father-in-law was a mama's boy, and if he compromised with the old wicked woman, it would be very disadvantageous for them.
Xiao Jingchuan suddenly had a good idea: if they could cure Li Tianci, they could resolve this matter smoothly.
“Wife, I think I heard from Father that you have a divine physician. If we can persuade him to come out of seclusion, then Li Tianci’s illness might be cured.” Xiao Jingchuan said while observing his wife’s reaction.
Shen Yunsheng frowned slightly, seemingly troubled: "But Master's whereabouts are always elusive, so finding him is not easy."
Shen Yunsheng quickly said, "As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we should try. Besides, I believe that with your abilities and connections, you'll definitely be able to find his whereabouts. If we can really cure Li Tianci, not only will his family be extremely grateful, but it will also solve our family's crisis!"
Shen Yunsheng smiled bitterly to herself. She didn't have any divine physician father; she had just made that up on the spot.
In fact, Xiao Jingchuan had already investigated his wife. He knew, of course, that his wife's master was something she had made up. If he were his wife, he would not let anyone know his secret.
He asked his wife to treat Li Tianci not only to resolve his sister's marriage, but also to build good relationships with others.
Shen Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, indicating that he was willing to give it a try.
"Don't be discouraged, my husband. Although I can't contact my master, I've learned a little bit and might be able to help Li Tianci."
Shen Yunsheng planned to use her blood to treat Li Tianci. Since only she knew this secret, she wasn't afraid that the Li family would leak it.
Xiao Jingchuan: [Just as I suspected, my wife's blood truly has the power to cure all ailments.]
"My wife, I thank you on behalf of Wanqing." Xiao Jingchuan looked at his wife tenderly. Although his wife did not love him, she truly regarded them as family.
"You're too kind, my husband. Although Wanqing and I are not related by blood, we are like sisters. Her affairs are my affairs."
Shen Yunsheng smiled bitterly to herself. From the moment she transmigrated into the body of the original owner, her fate was closely related to the Xiao family. Helping her sister-in-law was also a way of repaying the favors owed to the original owner.
Xiao Jingchuan remembered that his wife hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he took the basket of eggs from her.
"My dear wife, the steamed buns are ready. Eat them while they're hot."
Shen Yunsheng was about to go to the kitchen when he suddenly remembered that the rest of the family hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he asked, "Have Mom and Dad eaten? If not, tell them to eat with us."
"They've already eaten, and they're probably already at Baihua Mountain by now."
"Ah! They went to pick bamboo shoots." Shen Yunsheng was a little surprised. She didn't expect her parents-in-law to go out so early.
You know, the sun is so strong and the temperature is so high today. What if they get heatstroke?
So she quickly said to the man, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I could have brought them some water and dry food."
"It's alright, I packed some for them this morning, enough for them to eat for a day."
Hearing this, Shen Yunsheng finally felt relieved.
"Remember to remind me next time that Mom is getting old and her back hurts if she stands for too long. She should stay home and rest."
Shen Yunsheng was mainly worried about her mother-in-law; as for her troublemaking father-in-law, she didn't care at all.
"Okay, I got it."
Xiao Jingchuan smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
"My lady, this is money sent by the General Who Protects the Nation. I'm handing it over to you now."
Xiao Jingchuan took out a bag of loose silver from his person and placed it in his wife's hand with a smile.
"Didn't we already give it to you?" Shen Yunsheng looked at the money bag in his hand in surprise. It was heavy, worth at least several dozen taels.
Xiao Jingchuan knew perfectly well that household expenses were very high, and he couldn't always rely on his wife to help with household finances. If he told his wife that the money was his own, she would definitely become suspicious. Therefore, he decided to use Lin San as an excuse, which would make it easier to persuade his wife to accept the money.
"The silver I received earlier actually belonged to Lin San; it was a bonus given to him by the Grand General. I've already used up all my previous bonuses, and Lin San was worried I wouldn't have enough silver to buy medicine, so he gave me some to use as a bonus."
After hearing her husband's explanation, Shen Yunsheng felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She thought with emotion: These days, it's rare to find someone like Lin San who would willingly give up a hundred taels of silver to help a friend. Lin San's act of using his own money as a reward fully demonstrates his trust and support for Xiao Jingchuan. Such brotherly affection is truly precious.
She turned her head and looked at her husband, her eyes filled with tenderness and love.
