Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 423 Gossiping and Bad-hearted

Seeing that his wife was in a daze, Shen Wenchen couldn't help but feel worried, so he held her cold hand lightly, and said slowly: "The new courtyard of the eldest brother and the second brother is not far away, only one street away, and it is also away from us. It's only half an hour's walk, if you miss your father-in-law and mother-in-law, we'll take them all to live at home."

"never mind."

Nan Zhi shook his head, and took a small sip of the soup bowl.

Parents now have shops to be busy, if they really moved to the city lord's mansion and saw themselves like this every day, they would have to delay their work.

She felt that her mind was a little dull.

The business of Sanweiju is neither bad nor bad. When the weather gets colder, there will be fewer people eating barbecue. Xu Chou and Lu Daliang have good craftsmanship, and relying on a pot of soup has boosted the restaurant's business again.

Although it is not as good as the hundreds of taels a day at the beginning, I can still earn five to sixty taels a day, and I can sell more than 60 taels of wine every day.

The business of the Lin family's food shop is getting better and better. Now that Sun Cui's stomach is getting bigger, most of the things on the shop floor are Chen Qiulan and Lin's mother. She can only do some preparations. Sometimes the business is too good. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to work until late at night.

In this way, the number of visits to Nanzhi in the City Lord's Mansion was also reduced.

Originally, Nanzhi was bored at home, and wanted to invite some friends to the mansion for a gathering, but after counting, there were only Miss Zeng and the other female shopkeepers. Now Miss Zeng was learning how to manage the shop, so naturally If she couldn't come, the rest of the female shopkeepers were not very close to her, and in the end she could only pass the time by reading those scripts at home.

Shen Wenchen has been a little busy recently, and has to go out of town for a few days from time to time, only a few little dolls are free all day long, and they can still talk to Nan Zhi at home.

After half a month of such days, Nan Zhi, who was holding back, panicked.

Shen Wenchen went out of the city the night before yesterday, and said that it would take five or six days at the earliest to come back. The masters in the academy also took nearly [-] children, big and small, to the suburbs for a sketching tour yesterday. Leave her alone.

Ma Po was forty years old, although her hands and feet were nimble, she was very bored. Apart from reminding Nan Zhi to be careful, she did things in a muffled voice, which was a bit too boring.

Looking at the cold sky outside the window, Nanzhi lost interest in looking at Tang in front of him.

"Ma'am, this soup is good for you and the young master if you drink this soup to replenish energy and blood." Seeing her frowning, Ma Po immediately said softly.

"I don't want to drink any more of these soups." Nan Zhi pushed the porcelain bowl towards the opposite side, feeling a little frustrated on his face.

She drank soup all day long, and if she drank any more, she would turn into a soup jar.

"Ma'am..." Ma Po knows that there has been a lot of soup recently. It is normal for Madam not to want to drink, but her appetite is poor. Compared with eating, she can drink two more mouthfuls of soup, and her complexion has improved in the past two days .

"Ma Po, I'm fine, I just want to eat some sour food, go to the kitchen and get some for me." Nanzhi knew that although Ma Po was not very talkative, she was soft-hearted and couldn't really force herself to drink. When it came to the matter of eating meat in soup, he said in a coquettish tone.

"Okay, then I'll go and get some sour fruit for my wife. If my wife doesn't want to drink this soup, I'll leave it there."

After Ma Po saluted, she left the room again.

Nanzhi watched her stepping out of the small courtyard, then stretched out his hand to move the bowl of soup out.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour and still not seeing Ma Po come back, Nan Zhi became a little suspicious, and just wanted to go and see for herself, but saw Ma Po coming in with a gloomy face.

"Ma Po, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her gloomy face as if dripping water, Nan Zhi couldn't help frowning.

Ma Po was specially invited by Shen Wenchen to take care of her. Few people in the mansion dared to disrespect her. Why did she turn black when she went to the kitchen?

"Ma'am, I just happened to overhear something when I went to the kitchen."

Ma Po saluted, but still told what she had just seen and heard.

Just now, before she went into the kitchen, she heard the cook inside chatting with the little girl.

If she was talking about gossip, she would just pretend that she didn't hear it, but what they were talking about was that Madam was bullying others outside, trying to force to death a girl who was under her command back then.

She didn't hear it right, so she went into the kitchen, but the cook shut up when she saw her coming in.

Even the two little girls ran away with blank faces.

If this matter is left to other people, it will only be hidden from the master after the servant is punished.

But Ma Po is from Yancheng, and she is the most well-informed in terms of news. She knew that matter clearly at the beginning, and there was a notice posted by the government on the matter of Qian Er back then. Harmful.

"Really?" Nan Zhi raised his eyebrows, and went to the kitchen with the stove in his arms.

Ma Po was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she went to fetch another shawl for her, and then followed her to the kitchen.

As soon as he arrived outside the kitchen, he saw two girls who were sixteen or seventeen were gnawing their ears together. Nan Zhi had no expression on her face, but Ma Po frowned.

These two girls are really a little out of character.

I just said it two quarters of an hour ago, and now I'm biting my ears again?
And it's a maid in the kitchen, so what's going on dressed up like this?

She hadn't paid much attention to it just now, but looking at it now, it's really a bit out of place.

There are not many maids in the city lord's mansion, and the rare ones are all arranged elsewhere. The only ones who have the opportunity to contact the city lord are the people in the kitchen.

Most of Ma Po understood the small thoughts in the stomachs of these maids, seeing that they hadn't found her yet, she coughed lightly.

Hearing movement behind them, the two little girls stopped talking, turned around and knelt down on the ground.

They were all stuffed in with silver at home a year ago.

At that time, it was rumored everywhere in Yancheng that Shen Wenchen was an evil god, and the story between him and Su Tao was well-known, and some people became a little bit cautious.

It took 50 taels of silver for the two of them to stuff them into the city lord's mansion.

In the end, because Shen Wenchen didn't like serving maids, they haven't changed to other positions after coming in for a year, but it's also because they have been working as handymen in the kitchen.

The two of them stayed when Shen Wenchen sold the maids in the mansion half a year ago.

Two months ago, the city lord got married, and soon after it was reported that the city lord's wife was pregnant, the two of them felt hopeful again.

When the mistress is pregnant, she will always arrange two rooms for her husband, which can not only show the generosity of the mistress, but also prevent the man from stealing.

Both of them are women of the right age, and their appearance is not bad. There are not many maids in the mansion now. As long as the madam thinks about it, the two of them will only be the best choice.

The two of them were very pleased with themselves, and they began to lose the meticulousness they used to do. Now that they were being lazy and met the Lord, their faces turned green and pale, and they only dared to kneel on the ground and wait for their punishment.
