Su Wanniang hurriedly walked through the forest, and walked back and forth around the Moon Pavilion from a distance, making sure that there was no one around. She broke some flowers before rushing to the temple. She felt that the conversation with Ji Wenzhao was long and unbearable, and she was afraid that if she came out for too long, it would arouse people's suspicion.
After entering the temple, Su Wanniang avoided the main hall with some voices, and walked quickly from the side corridor to the backyard, the surrounding was quiet.
She finally finished the matter, and she couldn't wait to go back and tell Shen Wen. While walking quickly, she lowered her head and recalled the conversation with Ji Wenzhao just now, when she turned a corner, she vaguely felt that there was someone in front of her, and it was too late to raise her head, and suddenly bumped into a person firmly. The flower branches in Su Wanniang's hand were scattered all over the ground, and the man staggered two steps back and fell heavily to the ground.
Su Wanniang was startled, and kept saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She hurried over and knelt down to help the man up. But after all, she was from a decent family. At this time, her hands and feet were bound and she only stretched out her hands, still daring not to touch his arms.
It was a young man who fell to the ground, dressed in plain clothes and with a handsome face. At this time, he was holding the knee of one leg with both hands, his eyebrows were tightly knit, his lips were closed, his face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat was oozing from his forehead.
A servant in his twenties hurriedly squatted down, supported the boy's back, and called in a low voice: "...Young Master, Young Master... How are you?" Then he glared at Su Wanniang.
Seeing this young man in such pain, Su Wanniang felt very uncomfortable, and said anxiously: "I'm sorry...it's my fault...you are in pain, let's call the doctor quickly!" Although she is only a maid, if this If someone really broke his leg or something, she should borrow money from Shen Wen to heal him... But thinking of her mother's refusal to borrow money, Su Wanniang broke into a sweat.
Hearing that he was going to call Lang Zhong, the boy shook his head vigorously, gritted his teeth and said, "No!... I'm fine!... just wait..."
Su Wanniang pricked her hands and said anxiously: "You hurt so much, did you break a bone? I'd better ask the doctor to take a look, and I'll pay for it."
The young man kept shaking his head, exhaled and inhaled slowly, and after a while, his face gradually became less pale. He raised his eyes to look at Su Wanniang, forced a smile, and said, "It's okay, the girl must be in a hurry, so go and do it quickly." He said to the servant who supported him, "Go and help pick up those flowers." .”
The servant responded unwillingly, got up and picked up the scattered flower branches one by one, and put them beside Su Wanniang with a frown.
Su Wanniang hadn't slept well for many nights, and she was already on the verge of collapse, but the meeting with Ji Wenzhao just now caused her to become extremely nervous. Finally, my wish came true, and I just felt a little more relaxed before I hurried on the road, but then I bumped into someone and injured him! She had to muster up her already depleted energy to deal with this emergency. Who would have thought that she was the one who bumped into the other party, and the other party hurt so much, but was so reasonable, telling herself that she could go, and when she was relieved, she was also deeply moved... Several ups and downs, although she is precocious and strong, but after all, she is a ten-year-old girl. The girl next year finally lost control of her self-discipline, and she sat on the ground all of a sudden, crying with choked sobs.
This crying is out of control. Ever since her father had an accident, her mother was weak and sick, and her younger brother was too young, she stepped forward and took charge of a family. Afterwards, the father died and the family was ruined, they were unable to seek relatives, and she was forcibly bought by a brothel. She held on, fearing that she would be weak, so she went ahead with the old bustard. Later, Shen Wen rescued her, and she did not hesitate to commit suicide in order to be taken in by the Hou Mansion. But after entering the mansion, watching Shen Wen's actions, she found that the Hou's mansion was also full of wind and frost swords, and she would not be sloppy at all. Be careful in everything you say in normal times, and you can't say a word wrong. Outside, you have to concentrate on understanding Shen Wen's intentions and cooperate with her. Shen Wen didn't come back at night, she sat alone in a dark room, listening to the movement around her with trepidation...
The exhaustion, despair and loneliness of these days all came to my heart for a moment, although Su Wanniang didn't dare to cry loudly, she couldn't stop sobbing no matter what.
The young man sitting on the ground was at a loss, and tried his best to comfort Su Wanniang in the suppressed crying: "But the girl is in trouble? If it's because of the damage to the flower branches, I can let my servant and the girl go, and say it's because of me. Therefore, I broke the girl's flower branch. If necessary, my servant can pick some... "
When Su Wanniang heard this, she burst into tears, and said vaguely: "I hit you...you are not wrong..." She took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, but soon the handkerchief was wet. Because Shen Wen often cried, she brought an extra handkerchief, took it out quickly, wiped her tears a few times, wiped her nose a few times, and it was also soaked.
The young man hesitated and asked: "Do you need a handkerchief?" Su Wanniang shook her head, she still had this awareness: How can you wipe your face with a handkerchief used by men? Does anyone know where that veil was used? But now she has runny nose and tears, so she has to wipe it on her sleeves.
After finally crying enough, Su Wanniang let out a sigh of relief, feeling relieved, she suddenly understood Shen Wen: I want to cry often to relieve the burden in my heart.
Su Wanniang put away the two wet handkerchiefs, and took turns wiping her face dry with her two sleeves. With tears in his eyes, he smiled, and said in a low voice embarrassedly to the young man sitting on the ground: "Master, I saw you laughing, I'm really sorry, Master..."
The boy hurriedly shook his hand vigorously and said, "No, there's no need to do this!"
Su Wanniang probably also felt that something was wrong, and hastily reached out to pick up the flower branches on the ground. The boy said to the stunned servant beside him, "Accompany her to explain..."
Su Wanniang hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, I'll be fine! Thank you, my lord!" Then she got up and gave a deep salute, then trotted away with the messy flowers and branches in her arms.
Seeing Su Wanniang disappear around the corner, the young man signaled the servant to help him up. The boy walked slowly out of the temple, his leg was crippled badly.
The young servant said in a low voice: "It seems that he is from that family. Shall I take this opportunity to meet him?"
The boy shook his head. He is the fourth prince who usually lives in seclusion. Hearing that the eldest prince and the fourth princess hated the young daughter of Marquis of Zhenbei deeply, along with the other children in the mansion, he had the idea of seeing the Marquis of Zhenbei's children. Before his mother died, he repeatedly told him not to oppose the eldest prince or queen, but he just wanted to get acquainted with them.
The servant next to him found out that the children of Zhenbeihou's mansion would come to this secluded small temple for an outing on this day, and it happened to be a good place that didn't attract people's attention. But just now the maid cried like that because she knocked off the flower branch. She must have wept so often that she carried two handkerchiefs. That servant girl was so beautiful, she had never seen such a beauty in the palace, but she was so frightened and sad, which showed the sternness and ruthlessness of the master of this mansion.
He lost interest for a while, didn't want to see anyone again, and walked out of the temple gate with a limp, feeling that the place where he fell just now was extremely painful.
Su Wanniang bowed her head to greet the guards, and then walked into the small courtyard where Shen Wen lived behind the temple. Mrs. He, who was drying bedding in the courtyard, saw her and said in surprise, "What's wrong with you?!"
Su Wanniang knew that her face must be ugly, so she hurried into the room and said, "I fell down, it's nothing."
Shen Wen was lying on the bed looking at the scriptures placed in the house in the temple, and he was stunned when he saw Su Wanniang's appearance, and seeing He's coming in, he couldn't ask carefully, but could only ask: "Does it hurt from the fall?"
Su Wanniang shook her head, looked down to find the clean bottle on the table, and inserted the flower branches one by one. He sighed: "I'm still a child, I can make myself cry when I go to pick a flower." Seeing that Su Wanniang bowed her head and nothing happened in the room, she muttered: "I don't know when the eldest son and the others will come back..." Walked back I went to continue my work in the yard, the humidity in this mountain was too high, and the bedding always felt cold.
Seeing He's going out, Shen Wen put the book away, stood up and said angrily, "Did he not agree?!"
Su Wanniang hurriedly said in a low voice: "He agreed. I really fell and hit someone. But people didn't care about it, so I cried..."
Shen Wen took a long breath: "You, it's just that you haven't slept well recently. This is called a mental breakdown."
Su Wanniang's eyes widened: "Does this have a name?"
Shen Wen nodded and said: "Of course." Beckoning Su Wanniang to sit by the bed, Su Wanniang walked over and told the story in a low voice, including how she bumped into someone and how she cried to death. She knew that Shen Wen always paid attention to details in his work, and she couldn't hide anything from her. Besides, Shen Wen understood her loss of control, she cried to a stranger, Shen Wen should know the process, so as not to have any unexpected things.
Shen Wen listened silently, and praised Su Wanniang's frankness. She had expected Ji Wenzhao's side, but what happened to the person Su Wanniang bumped into? Shen Wen carefully asked this person's age and appearance, and the appearance of the servant beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of clothes is he wearing?"
Su Wanniang thought about it carefully: "It should be Shu brocade with dark blue flowers..." As soon as the words came out, she knew something was wrong. The man was dressed plainly, but how can ordinary people wear Shu brocade? This person should also come from a wealthy family.
Shen Wen asked again: "Are you sure this was an accident?"
Su Wanniang hesitated for a moment, but she still said: "It should be, I hit that person hard, and he sat on the ground so painful that his face turned pale and he couldn't speak."
As Shen Wen thought about it, Su Wanniang felt a chill in her heart: Could it be that the collision was arranged? I even cried! For a moment, she felt an unknown fire in her heart, and her face flushed red.
Shen Wen said slowly: "I don't think the collision was intentional, but this person shouldn't be here."
Su Wanniang also nodded and said: "Since she was born in a wealthy family, why did she go to such a remote place? There are not many servants around her." The body of a daughter does not sit in the hall. How can someone from a wealthy family not be protected? If there is no protection, then you have martial arts yourself. But that person doesn't seem to have much effort...
Shen Wen agreed: "Yes, this Fragrant Leaf Temple is small and remote, and the monks usually don't receive other pilgrims. Except for people from the Houfu, very few people from the city come. Even if they come, during the year, if they meet It’s just a coincidence that we’re here.”
Su Wanniang frowned, but Shen Wen smiled: "It's okay, it's probably someone who wants to get in touch with the Hou's mansion, not necessarily malicious."
Su Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Next time, I can't just cry to people casually."
Shen Wen smiled and touched Su Wanniang with his elbow: "How could you be so casual? Tell me about his appearance again. Is his eyebrows very black? His face is fair and clean, and he looks like a handsome scholar?" Words used by Su Wanniang.
Su Wanniang blushed again, pinched Shen Wen's chubby face and whispered, "How old are you?! Ah?! How old are you?! Just say such things!"
Shen Wen whispered: "Sister, please spare me!..." The two laughed and rolled on the bed.
The two of them had had enough quarrel, they both sat up and tidied each other's clothes. Shen Wen withdrew his smile, and said in a low voice: "Although this person may not have any malicious intentions, since he was able to find him, it means that we have attracted people's attention when we came out this time. This is also good, and it gave us an early return." Excuse, I was thinking of pretending to be sick."
Su Wanniang asked puzzledly, "Why did you go back early? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Wen said: "You are already extremely nervous. I am going to tell you after you talk to Ji Wenzhao. Of course we have to go back early. Think about it, what would happen if you wanted to punish the children in the Xiahou Mansion?" manage?"
Su Wanniang suddenly said: "Of course we can only wait for her... You leave the mansion! So, if we come out now, there will definitely be trouble! Miss, why didn't you tell the eldest son them? We have to go back quickly!"
Shen Wen said flatly: "It's hard to get out, so naturally we have to let everyone have a good time."
Su Wanniang was a little anxious: "But they are in the dark, we are in the light, you don't know when there will be trouble, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Shen Wen pulled Su Wanniang's hand: "Look, once I told you, you became nervous again. It's actually not that bad, because they only have one choice."
Su Wanniang was still worried: "Why? There are so many ways to get into trouble."
Shen Wen said: "Of course, but everything remains the same. If you pretend to be the eldest prince, if you want to take revenge on the person who made you lose face, what will you do?"
Su Wanniang thought: "That person's eyes look a little close, he must be a person with a narrow heart. If you feel ashamed, of course it's better to make the other person feel ashamed too."
Shen Wen was happy: "Sister Wanniang can still read faces?"
Su Wanniang was embarrassed: "I just read the nonsense in the book."
Shen Wen asked: "Then tell me, how can he embarrass us?"
Su Wanniang thought about it: "You can find a place where everyone can see and humiliate us. Or, find a remote place and beat us severely, but don't let anyone catch you."
Shen Wen took Su Wanniang's arm and said with a smile: "Sister Wanniang is really a military adviser. My father has a lot of troops, but they dare not kill them. My elder brother has many guards, and it is not easy to beat us up."
Su Wanniang understood: "That means we must cause trouble in a place where there are people. This place is remote, so there is nothing wrong with it. It should be when we return to the city... But why didn't they do anything when we left the city?"
Shen Wen said: "We left early, early in the morning, and there were not many people on the road. Moreover, if we don't come out, there is no need to arrange people. Now that we know we are here, we can arrange."
Su Wanniang said, "Then what should we do?"
Shen Wen whispered in Su Wanniang's ear: "There are other people's eyeliners everywhere in the Hou's mansion, and there must be some in our industry. If you really want to go back early, you can't say it out loud, let alone me. You have this collision It's a human excuse, I just went to talk to Shen Xiang..."
Shen Yi brought people back before the sun set, and knew from the guards that Shen Wen hadn't been out for a day, and nothing had happened in the temple, so Shen Yi didn't think much about it.
After dinner, Su Wanniang smiled and said to Shen Xiang: "I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, and I want to take a few steps, can Missy give me some pointers?"
Shen Xiang was very tired after climbing the mountain for a day, but ever since she rushed to save Su Wanniang who was about to die, she felt a sense of caring for Su Wanniang in her heart. He usually takes Su Wanniang to practice martial arts, and the relationship is like a master-student relationship, which feels closer than Shen Wen. At this time, I didn't evade, just smiled and said: "I can only move my mouth, I can't get out of it."
Su Wanniang smiled and said, "It's all right." The two walked to the backyard, Su Wanniang did a few tricks, Shen Xiang went to her, moved Su Wanniang's arm to show her the correct posture, and asked with a smile: "Why are your eyes swollen?" gone?"
Su Wanniang said: "I went out to pick flowers today and fell down when I came back. Oh, I saw some beautiful cars at the gate of the temple. Did you see them when you came back?"
Shen Xiang was taken aback, shook his head and said, "No."
Su Wanniang looked around and said in a low voice: "This small temple is so remote, who would rush to come with us? Miss was in the Marquis of Changle and had a quarrel with the eldest prince and the fourth princess. Tell me, will anyone come?" See if we are here, and then wait for us to go back and make trouble on the road?"
Shen Xiang thought for a while, and said: "I have to go and tell my brother and the others!" Before leaving, Su Wanniang immediately grabbed her sleeve, and whispered: "If there is no report from the mansion, who would know so accurately? ? Even if the eldest lady wants to discuss with the eldest son and the others, she can't just go there so clearly."
Although Shen Xiang was straightforward, he knew the importance at this moment, and said in a low voice: "Okay, you practice a few more tricks, and I'll go to them again and say I'm asking about tomorrow."
Su Wanniang nodded and said: "Actually, just tell one person, don't disturb everyone. And..." She whispered a few words in Shen Xiang's ear.
Shen Xiang nodded and said: "Great! Thank you for your reminder. The little sister is young and not sensible, and one of us does not know martial arts. You are older than her and smart. If you have any thoughts, say no to her." Come and tell me.”
Su Wan's mother thought that your younger sister is not ignorant or clever, she is too sensible and clever, and she is about to become a genius, but she said: "Okay, I will listen to the eldest lady."
Shen Xiang hesitated for a while and said: "I have never treated you as a maid, so you can be considered my apprentice!"
Su Wanniang burst out laughing, she was older than Shen Xiang, felt that Shen Xiang was still childish, and said, "Thank you, Master."
Shen Xiang blushed a little from the laughter, and said stiffly: "You are my great apprentice, what's so funny? I want to be a female marshal in the future! Even if I can't, at least I should be a hero who walks the rivers and lakes. You go and When others say that I am your master, I will be envied by many people!"
Su Wanniang smiled even more, bowed to Shen Xiang and said: "Marshal, or, Marshal, I'm here, be respected by my disciples."
Shen Xiang pushed Su Wanniang and ran away with a smile.
Shen Xiang then went to find Shen Zhuo, saying that he would ask him some tricks. The two exchanged hands a few times, watched and quarreled a few more words. After she left, Shen Zhuo pestered Shen Yi and Shen Jian to play chess, and the three said that the room was too small, so they took the chessboard and went to the forest to play chess. When I left the temple, I asked the monk if anyone came to offer incense today, and the answer I got was that there were three or four families.
The three brothers played chess in the forest for a while, and chased and fought for a long time. At sunset, they returned to the temple.
Originally, they would stay for another day and leave early the next morning to return to the city. The next day, Shen Yi said that he would take a few younger brothers and sisters to visit the surrounding historical sites of the previous dynasty, but he only brought half of the guards and one of the three carriages for Shen Wen and a few maidservants to sit in. The guards left in the temple waited until it was dark, and just thought something was wrong, when someone came back and told them that when she was about to go back to the temple, the eldest lady suddenly had a stomachache, and the eldest son was afraid that it would be difficult to find the doctor in the suburbs, so he hurriedly took him with him. I'm back home. The rest of the people will go back early tomorrow morning according to the original plan, be careful all the way.
After the sun went down, Mrs. Yang, who had had dinner, was surprised and delighted when she heard that Shen Yi had brought someone back. She was surprised that something happened when she returned home early, and happy that the children came back. She finally let go of her restless heart.
Shen Yi also knew that he couldn't talk casually in the Hou's mansion, so he insisted on the original excuse, saying that Shen Xiang had a stomachache. Shen Xiang also held his lower abdomen, frowning in discomfort. Yang knows that this daughter has practiced martial arts since childhood and is physically strong, so it must be true to say that she is sick. Busy people to invite the doctor, let the daughter go to rest quickly, and let people serve dinner for the other children.
The doctor came to check the pulse, and said that the eldest lady may have caught a cold and was too nervous, drink some ginger water and sleep for a while.
Shen Xiang and Shen Wen fell asleep, but Shen Yi and Shen Jian personally inspected the Hou's mansion, one in the middle of the night and the other in the second half of the night, leading people to strictly check the door and not allowing anyone to enter or leave. Even Shen Zhuo got up in the middle of the night and looked around, but there was nothing wrong with the Hou Mansion.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day when the others returned home, they reported that when they were about to enter the city, they were blocked by a group of hooligans just as they were entering the city. Seeing a young girl in this group of carriages raising the curtains and smiling at him, he came to ask her name, hoping to meet a little beauty.
Amid the laughter, everyone knew that this was the convoy of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, and more and more people gathered around, wanting to see the excitement. But there were no women in the convoy at all, Shen Xiang, Shen Wen and Chunlu Su Wanniang He returned home the day before. The young man leading the team ordered people to open the curtains of the carriage so that the onlookers could see that there were no women in the team, and then nodded to the guards. The guards of the Hou Mansion were always arrogant, who had ever been so blatantly framed, they were extremely angry and beat the man who said that a woman waved to him just now, along with a few hooligans, all over the place. It wasn't until these people begged for mercy, saying that there was no such thing, they just wanted to extort some money, and the young man in charge didn't want to kill anyone, so they stopped.
Just after this incident, when they entered the city and arrived at the bustling market place, a few more coquettishly dressed brothel girls came over and said loudly that they were invited here to meet their original sisters, to see if they could also be bought into the Hou's mansion. The young man leading the guards sneered, and sent someone to report to the yamen, and confronted those women in the street, saying that they were spitting blood. The women swore that they had indeed got the letter, and asked the guards to ask the maids in the team to find out, or let them meet in person, the maid had agreed with them to meet them here. When the yamen servants arrived, the young man in charge dispersed the guards and opened the carriage again so that people could clearly see that there were no women among them. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the yamen servant escorted the troublesome woman away.
Yang and the old lady didn't speak for a long time, and when everyone retreated, Yang wiped his eyes with a silk and said angrily: "These people want to destroy Xiang'er and Wen'er!"
If there was a girl in the car, the rascal would insist on waving at him, and who could tell the difference? Even if a maid confessed, others would say that it was for the sake of the young lady. In the busy city, if Su Wanniang was there at that time, and those brothel girls met each other in the past, what would the people around them think of Shen Wen who used such a maid
Thinking of how much Shen Xiang and Shen Wen would be hurt if these things were done, Yang burst into tears. She would rather suffer herself than let her children suffer. Seeing that someone is not good for her child, she wants to die.
The old lady frowned and shook her head, and said in a low voice: "Nowadays, I can't move. If we really match up, it will be our side that suffers." This is an underage girl, and if there is any trouble, her back will be stained.
Yang gritted her teeth and said, "If you bully people like this now, it will become a real thing in the future..."
The old lady coughed, looked at Mrs. Yang reproachfully, and said, "Why are you still so open-mouthed?! You are the mistress of the house, so hold your breath!"
Yang frowned, not looking at the old lady. The old lady sighed again, and said to the dead old Hou Ye in her heart: This is the problem of marrying the daughter of a small family.
Yang clasped the silk tightly and said, "What's the point? Why do you want to play with these dirty things when you tell Zichou Yinmao? It's really not a good thing!"
The old lady said helplessly: "Listen to what you said, it sounds like a six-year-old child! How can there be innocence in this world? If you can't do anything, you have to be patient first. Didn't Master Hou also say that in his reply?" ? Let the children go out less. Didn’t I say that they’d better not go out this time, you still let them go out, if it’s not for Yi’er’s child to be vigilant, wouldn’t there be something wrong?”
You see how happy they are, don't they dare to say it? Now come to blame me. Yang couldn't argue with the old lady, so she could only hate: "Don't we have to hide at home? Whose child has to live in such an aggrieved way?"
The old lady shook her head even more when she saw that she couldn't make sense of Yang: "You have such a temper! It doesn't mean that you have to hide for a lifetime. Girls stay at home and it's easy to grind your temper. Wen'er is seven years old, and Xiang'er is only ten years old. There are still a few years left." .Let those people talk for a few days first and make some troubles. It’s considered to be out of anger. There are so many things going on, who would hold on to a child and not let go? These days, don’t let Wen’er go out.”
Yang Shi half-gambled: "Don't let her go out that year!"
The old lady didn't think that Yang was playing with her temper, so she immediately called Su Wanniang and nurse He, and told them not to let Shen Wen go out for a year or so, but to come and talk to herself before doing anything. Take good care of the yard at ordinary times, and don't let people spread rumors. Su Wanniang and Mrs. He hurriedly agreed.
Su Wanniang returned to the yard, faced Shen Wen in front of several little maids and said in surprise: "Miss, Madam said that you are not allowed to go out casually!"
He Shi also sighed and said, "Ma'am, it's just for..." For what reason, she couldn't tell why.
After hearing this, Shen Wen immediately said tearfully: "I didn't do anything! Why would mother do this?" He took out a handkerchief and covered his eyes, then went back to the back room with his shoulders twitching.
With a sullen face and one hand resting on her waist, Su Wanniang raised her voice and said to everyone: "Everyone, be careful! Madam said that this yard will be strictly managed in the future, and no one can talk nonsense about Miss. !" Everyone showed embarrassment: This courtyard is already so strict that people dare not move around, if it is stricter, it will not be the same as a prison? Mrs. He sighed and said nothing, and went to embroider in the side room by herself.
Su Wanniang waved for everyone to go down, and closed the door with a solemn look that she wanted to comfort the young lady.
In the back room, Shen Wen sat on the bed, tilting his head thinking. Su Wanniang sat beside her and whispered, "Miss, aren't you sad?"
Shen Wen smiled: "I can go out at night, what is there to be sad about?"
Su Wanniang sighed: "I didn't expect that the eldest prince would be so fussy." She lowered her voice: "If he does such a thing, the eldest son and the others probably won't let it go."
Shen Wen shook his head: "It's okay for my brother and the others to fight openly, but they can't do it in terms of conspiracy."
Su Wanniang asked in a low voice, "What does Miss want to do?"
Shen Wen curled his lips: "It's not difficult. If he dares to do it, don't be afraid to do it. You just need to let people spread the word that the eldest prince doesn't like Zhenbeihou's seven-year-old daughter, and find someone to destroy her innocence!"
Su Wanniang nodded, in this way, the viciousness of the eldest prince was revealed: what does a seven-year-old girl know? It is a lack of character for a married man to harm a child's reputation.
Shen Wen shook his head again: "It's just..."
Su Wanniang interjected, "We don't have anyone."
Shen Wen nodded: "Now you understand why I must find you, there is no one, nothing can be done."
Su Wanniang whispered: "Why don't you tell the eldest son this idea and let them find someone?"
Shen Wen shook his head again: "No, first of all, they won't do this."
Su Wanniang hummed: Shen Wen will be mentioned in this rumor, even if she defends her, it will damage her reputation. It's not a good thing if a girl's reputation is mixed with negative comments about others. Naturally, the princes of the Hou Mansion would not slap their sister in the face like this.
Shen Wen continued: "Even if they agree, there are many people in the Hou's mansion, and if this matter is not done well, they will still leave a clue."
Su Wanniang thought for a while, then said softly, "I'll do it."
Shen Wen shook his head and said, "You will be remembered by others, and if I recognize you in the future, I have to go by myself."
Su Wanniang frowned: "How do you do it?"
Shen Wen smiled and said: "They use brothels to talk about things, so we will also use brothels. I will go to Wanhualou at night."
Su Wanniang understood, and said, "You have to be careful not to be seen by others."
Shen Wen said: "It's okay to see, you dressed me up as a maid."
Su Wanniang sighed: "Be careful, try not to show your face."
Shen Wen agreed, and said to Su Wanniang: "You'd better tell Shen Xiang, don't let the big brother and the others take action now, the eldest prince is probably watching the Hou's mansion, you must wait."
Su Wanniang nodded, and Shen Wen said again: "Oh, go and find out, who is leading the people behind? In the busy city, you can find the yamen servants instead of calming down..."
she stopped. Su Wanniang said with all her heart, "Miss thinks he is reliable, but is she afraid that he will use this to gain trust?"
In his previous life, Shen Wen never cared about the servants and guards in the Marquis's Mansion. After his death, he only knew the names of a few loyal people and those who betrayed the Lord through people's discussions or records. Now I dare not trust people casually. She said, "Ask the name first, and see if I know him."
Su Wanniang didn't hear anything unusual, she memorized everything carefully, and then quietly sewed night clothes for Shen Wen.
