Chapter 184 Say a Word
Xiao Zhao didn't even look at the eldest lady, and handed the box straight into Chen Muqing's hand, saying, "I want to go to see Mr. Shen, and I hope my aunt will help us introduce the introduction."
Chen Muqing hesitated a little.
Chen Zhen only asked her to report the message to show her importance to this matter. If he felt it was necessary to meet Xiao Zhao, he would naturally explain it to her...
"The master has been making an appointment with friends from all over the past few days for Xiao Sa's affairs," she refused politely, "There is a lot of time. When I go back, I will ask the master when I have time..."
Xiao Zhao's lips slightly squinted, and he was about to say something. The eldest lady had already stepped forward and stopped him and pushed the box into Chen Muqing's hand. While pushing it, she also blinked at her, indicating that she would soon take the box containing 200,000 taels of silver notes: "Okay, our master should also meet Mr. Shen. When you go back, just tell Mr. Shen that we can do whatever Wang Qing wants."
Xiao Zhao nodded, "Yes, you just tell Mr. Shen that we will find a way to do whatever Wang Qing wants."
This couple may rarely have such a time when they have a unified opinion, right?
Chen Muqing responded with a smile, thought for a moment, took the box, and then bent his knees and said goodbye to Xiao and his wife.
This time, the eldest wife personally delivered it to the door and quickly handed it back.
Seeing the eldest lady's anxious look, Chen Muqing couldn't help but smile slightly.
I wonder if the two will quarrel?
*******
As Chen Muqing thought, the eldest wife had not entered the house and had already said blame: "...I've smashed people with 200,000 taels of silver. Do you think they have never seen them... When did you become so vulgar when you do your business?"
Xiao Zhao said coldly: "What do you know? If I don't take some strength, how can the Shen family look at us in the future..."
"You have shown your strength, but did they promise to see you?" The eldest lady looked at Xiao Zhao and smiled faintly, "You should not be able to make trouble..."
"At least she took the money!" Xiao Zhao said in a dissatisfaction, "You have never met an official. Last time, I accompanied Jiangsu Provincial Governor Tao Xueqin to Lichunlou to drink. Wen Jie'er, who was on the top, served him well. He originally prepared a tael of silver to reward Wen Jie'er for buying pollen. Later, he felt heartache for a long time, and he added a tael of silver..."
"Who is Mr. Shen? Who is that Tao Xueqin?" The eldest lady interrupted Xiao Zhao's words angrily, "Can you compare this? When Mr. Shen was a prefect in Sichuan, he was famously honest..."
"Forget it, you!" Xiao Zhao said disdainfully, "Master Shen is honest? If he is honest, can he get involved in the Yuyao Tan Mo case? If he is honest, can he buy a house in Mingshifang?"
"The emperor said that Lord Shen is not greedy, so you have a charge for Mr. Shen." The eldest lady replied unwillingly, "I am so clumsy! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are better than the people in Dali Temple."
The couple's quarrels, their voices getting louder and louder...
*******
The jade hairpin was very affectionate and accompanied Chen Muqing out.
"My aunt has lost a lot of weight during this period - you should take care of yourself!"
Chen Muqing knew that she had lost a lot of weight during this period, but she didn't want others to know the reason... She smiled and said, "I have always been so thin!"
Yuzhan slowed down and turned around and said to Yingfen: "The last time the eldest wife gave her was not an ordinary bird's nest, but a blood bird's nest... My sister went back to stew my aunt and longan meat together, so I'll replenish her!"
Yingfen was naturally very happy when he saw Jade hairpin respecting Chen Muqing. He smiled and replied, "Yes", and said, "My sister is more careful. If you have anything, you should always mention me."
Yuzhan smiled and joked: "My sister is the most caring person around my aunt, so I need some advice..."
Several people were talking and laughing. Seeing the towering tree in front of them walking a few steps to the left and the door came, but a panting scream came from behind: "Grandma, wait a while, wait a while..."
Chen Muqing turned around in surprise and saw Tu Xiaoque running towards them with her skirt.
The mandarin on the side frowned.
Since the eldest wife realized that Chen Muqing was not very willing to get close to Tu Xiaoque, she said, asking them to be careful not to let Tu Xiaoque shake in front of Shen Muqing!
She stepped forward a few steps to stop Tu Xiaoque: "What's wrong with the second sister looking for aunt?"
Maybe because he ran too fast, Tu Xiaoque's face turned pale.
She nodded to the jade hairpin in a hurry, walked around the jade hairpin to Chen Muqing: "Auntie, I have something to say to you!"
The first encounter was at Yaowang Temple, the second time was Wanbaozhai, and the third time was at Tingyuxuan... It was not a pleasant thing!
Chen Muqing didn't want to deal with her more, so he smiled politely at her and said, "What's the matter with my second sister?"
Tu Xiaoque hesitated and didn't speak, as if he wanted Jade hairpin and Yingfen to avoid it.
Yingfen thought of Tu Xiaoque in front of him, and felt uncomfortable when she looked at her. Seeing her taking Qiao, she felt even more disliked. Looking at her, she said disdainfully: "There are no outsiders here. What do you have to say? Don't beat around the bush." Her tone looked very impatient.
Tu Xiaoque looked at Chen Muqing standing there with reserved confidence, and there was a little resentment in his eyes.
What kind of lady is pretending to be a wealthy lady? Thinking about it, I just tricked the young master into a circle...
"Auntie, I want to find you for the sake of the young master..." She elongated her voice, looked at Chen Muqing with a flash of eyes, and her tone seemed very ambiguous.
Although Yuzhan is a capable person around the eldest wife, and although she is not sure about Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing, she also guessed a little bit about Chen Muqing's help. In addition, Tu Xiaoque used to serve Xiao Sa... Looking at this situation, she lost her opinion for a moment, and her eyes looking at Chen Muqing became a little confused.
Chen Muqing felt very annoyed when he heard this.
Yuzhan is the eldest wife, Xiao Sa’s personal maid next to Xiao Sa’s biological mother. What does she mean by saying these words in front of Yuzhan? Or is she hinting that she has an affair with Xiao Sa?
"No need!" Chen Mu smiled faintly, "There are still some things at home, and I can't stay here for a long time - if the second sister's affairs are so hidden, come and listen when I have time!" After that, he turned around and left.
When the Jade hairpin saw it, panic flashed across his face and hurriedly followed. Yingfen glared at Tu Xiaoque fiercely, then turned around and followed.
Tu Xiaoque looked at Chen Muqing's back with a calm look.
Turning over the towering tree, Chen Muqing left Liansheng Inn... I'm afraid I won't have any chance to see Chen Muqing?
She gritted her teeth and raised her skirt and chased after her.
"Auntie, wait..."
Although Chen Muqing heard the shouts behind him, he made up his mind to ignore Tu Xiaoque anymore, so he walked forward without looking back.
Yuzhan and Yingfen couldn't help but look back, and saw Tu Xiaoque rushing towards them with great momentum.
The two exclaimed... Tu Xiaoque had already pushed them away, and suddenly grabbed Chen Muqing's hand and pulled it towards the path beside him: "Come with me..."
It was too late to turn back when Chen Muqing heard the exclamation behind him. Tu Xiaoque had already grabbed her hand tightly. Before she could come back to her senses, Tu Xiaoque had already stumbled forward a few steps.
Yingfen's reaction was faster than that of the hosta.
She quickly walked over, grabbed Tu Xiaoque's hair and shouted: "Tu Xiaoque, let go! What are you going to do! Don't think we don't know your background. Do you want me to go to the Zeng family to pick up your brother and discipline you?"
Tu Xiaoque was so painful that she was caught by Yingfen. She couldn't help but let down Chen Muqing and protected her hair with both hands: "You little shrew..."
Yingfen listened and kept pulling her hair: "You say another word? If you say another word, I will make you bald!"
The two wrestled into a group.
Chen Muqing, who rubbed his arm that was hurt by Tu Xiaoque, saw that the two of them looked dissatisfied, saw the jade hairpin running over and hurriedly said to Yingfen: "The jade hairpin is here!"
After hearing this, Yingfen reluctantly let go of Tu Xiaoque: "I'm going to beat the dog to see the owner today..."
Tu Xiaoque also heard Chen Muqing's warning, rubbed his head and stared at Yingfen fiercely. Although he looked like he was about to eat her, he was afraid of the jade hairpin and dared not take action again.
"Second sister," the Yuzhan who rushed over looked very bad, "Auntie is a distinguished guest invited by our eldest wife. If you don't understand the rules like this, be careful that the eldest wife is angry!"
Tu Xiaoque showed a reluctant smile to Yuzhan: "Sister Yuzhan, it's okay, it's okay, my aunt and I are acquaintances, everyone is having fun..."
The eldest wife's life suddenly sounded in Chen Muqing's mind: "... Later, I heard her say that you are her savior, and it was Xiao Sa who asked her to find. Then I asked her to introduce you to me..."
She couldn't help but feel cold, and she glanced at Tu Xiaoque with a sarcastic look on her face, nodding to Yingfen: "Let's go!"
When Yuzhai saw Chen Mu angry, she hurriedly smiled and accompanied Chen Muqing.
"Don't take the words of the second sister to heart, auntie." As he said that, he gave Tu Xiaoque another wink.
Under normal circumstances, Tu Xiaoque would apologize to others obediently, and then she would say a few flattering words, and the matter would be over.
Who knew that Tu Xiaoque was different this time.
After hearing the words of Yuzhan, she not only did not apologize, but instead stepped forward and pulled Chen Muqing's sleeve, looked at Chen Muqing pitifully and said, "Auntie, I have no other meaning. I just want you to give up your hands and save our young master..."
Chen Muqing looked at her big eyes that were as lingering as autumn water, and her heart suddenly became very dry and her face became a little cold.
Xiao Sa has a father and a mother. Even if there is anything, it’s not your turn to ask for help...
Yingfen looked at Chen Muqing's face unwillingness, and thought that Tu Xiaoque was also talking nonsense in front of his eldest wife that he was familiar with Shen Muqing - others knew that our aunt saved Tu Xiaoque's life and made a great charity; if she didn't know, she thought that our aunt was in contact with those singing girls...
She stepped forward and pushed Tu Xiaoque away: "My second sister's words are so confusing... When will our aunt be familiar with you? Whether or not Mr. Xiao is saved, when will it be your Tu Xiaoque have the final say?"
