My wife is frail and sickly

Chapter 27 Uncle Wang

Shen Xiaolou was still in shock until she returned to her residence. The people in the same hospital regarded her as dazed and lost, and they automatically found a good reason for her, "It seems that Miss Shen still hasn't found her cousin today." .”

To say that this Miss Shen is really pitiful, a girl whose family is gone and who comes all the way to the capital to seek refuge with her cousin. I am afraid she has no way of living in her hometown. Otherwise, how could she seek refuge with a cousin she has not seen for many years?I don’t know how much hardship I suffered along the way.

These days, Miss Shen goes out early and comes back late. They all see it in their eyes. Even if she has some savings, she can't stop sitting on it.What should Miss Shen do if she has spent all her savings and still hasn’t found anyone?
Everyone couldn't help but worry about her.

Shen Xiaolou was in a daze, and suddenly stood up. No, she shouldn't have come back so soon. She should have confirmed again.The Wang family is rich, there are so many people, and there are so many carriages. The Changping Marquis Mansion must be busy and chaotic, which means there are loopholes to exploit.

Thinking of this, she went out again and went straight to the Changping Marquis Mansion.First we went around the back streets.Most of the children of the Changping Marquis Mansion lived here. Shen Xiaolou stole a set of clothes worn by a young maid while no one was paying attention.

The reason why he stole the little maid's clothes was because she was inconspicuous.Who doesn’t know the first-class maid next to the master?Second-class maids are often brought in and out by their masters, and everyone looks familiar to them. Only the little maids, who do daily chores, cannot be seen by the master and do not attract attention.

Shen Xiaolou waited patiently until dark, changed his clothes, and went into the house from the remote place he had expected.

It was pitch dark outside the house, but the lights inside were bright.Shen Xiaolou heard Mother Li mention the layout of the mansion, but with such a big mansion and so many courtyards, she was really confused. As she was trying to identify it, she saw a woman on the path in front of her pointing at her and shouting: "Which yard are you from? Why are you running around? The kitchen is almost busy. Come with me to help!"

Shen Xiaolou's tense body relaxed and he came over quickly, "Hey, hey, here we come."

This woman was so busy that it felt like the wind was blowing under her feet. Shen Xiaolou had to jog to keep up.When she arrived at the big kitchen, Shen Xiaolou was first assigned to select and wash the vegetables, and then she was asked to light the fire.

Just do it. Shen Xiaolou was unambiguous in her work, choosing the vegetables quickly and cleanly, and the fire was burning brightly. The woman who brought her here treated her much better.

Shen Xiaolou quietly looked at the large kitchen. It was as big as three rooms. There were six large stoves alone. There were only ten people working there including Shen Xiaolou. It was indeed busy enough.

The maid who was also lighting the fire next to her saw Shen Xiaolou quietly beating her waist, and whispered: "Are you tired? In fact, the big kitchen is usually fine, but it is so busy today because there are so many people in the house. Which courtyard are you from? Why? Are you being arrested by Manager Zhao? The guest house is in a hurry, asking for food, food, and hot water. There are only a few of us, how can we be so busy? Manager Zhao is going crazy with worry, arresting people everywhere to do work. " His tone was full of sympathy.

Manager Zhao was probably the woman who brought her here. Shen Xiaolou pointed casually and said, "I'm from that yard." He was vague.Then he pretended to be curious and asked: "Are there many people in the house today? Where are the distinguished guests? I see that everyone in the house is busy. Our manager just asked us to sweep the floor again because there were leaves. My conscience, it's spring now, not autumn, where are there so many fallen leaves? Just as I finished sweeping and wanted to take a breath, I was..." She glanced in the direction of Manager Zhao.

The maid understood and sympathized with her even more, "Then you are really unlucky! Let me tell you, the guests here today are really distinguished guests, the eldest lady's maternal family. Do you know the Jiangnan Wang family?" She said in a proud and showy tone. .

Shen Xiaolou shook his head honestly, and the maid became even more interested, "The leader of the Wang family in Jiangnan is our eldest lady's grandfather. Although the Wang family is a merchant, their business is very big and they are very rich. Every year on the eldest lady's birthday, The Wang family will send people to deliver birthday gifts. The boxes are moved down one by one, and the gold, silver and jewelry are gone. There are so many good things! The eldest lady is the most blessed person in our house!" She looked envious.Shen Xiaolou was stunned when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Sister, you are so amazing, you know so much!" He begged her in a low voice, "I just entered the house and have never seen the world. Sister, please tell me about the appearance of the eldest lady." Home, I can show off to my little sisters in the same room when I get home."

Her ignorant look pleased the maid. The maid smiled proudly and said to Shen Xiaolou: "Don't look at me lighting the fire here, but I am a family member. My mother said, let me do this work first. She will Find a way to get me somewhere else." She blinked, as if remembering something, extremely mysterious, "Do you know who the eldest lady's maternal wife is here this year?"

She didn't need Shen Xiaolou to guess, she announced the answer herself, "It's the eldest lady's biological uncle!"

Shen Xiaolou whined and said as if unintentionally: "He comes to give birthday gifts to the eldest lady every year? I really envy the eldest lady to have such a good uncle."

The maid said: "That's not true. The people who came here in the past few years were all the big shopkeepers of the Wang family."

Shen Xiaolou was thoughtful. She now understood how the Changping Marquis Mansion kept the Wang family in the dark.

Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the news is blocked. What else is it that the Changping Marquis Mansion says?She and Shen Qingya are only one year apart. You may be able to tell the difference when you are young, but you won't be able to tell the difference after four or five years old. It would be too easy for Shen Qingya to impersonate her.

The Wang family only comes here once a year, and the one who comes is the big shopkeeper. There are distinctions between master and servant, and distinction between men and women. It is estimated that he has not even seen the "eldest lady" in person, or just said a few words through the screen. The key is no one. I won’t think about it!

This time it's Uncle Wang who's coming back. He will definitely meet his nephew. Will Uncle Wang see that Shen Qingya is a fake?Shen Xiaolou doesn't think so. Again, who would think about it?
Suddenly, Shen Xiaolou became very angry and wanted to rush to the guest house to reveal the truth.

But no, let’s not talk about whether Uncle Wang will believe her. Even if he does, they are all on the territory of Changping Marquis. No matter how rich the Wang family is, they are just merchants. What can they do to compete with the Marquis of Changping?She will be the passive one then, and she doesn't want to be killed quietly.

Don't say that cheap dad can't do such a thing, isn't he doing this all the time?

Shen Xiaolou has another concern. Although she is related to the Wang family, they have never met, so how can they have any feelings for each other?Businessmen pursue profits, what if Uncle Wang trades her with the Hou Mansion for benefits?Didn't she throw herself into a trap?
You can't blame her for thinking so badly of Uncle Wang. Never underestimate the dangers of the human heart.Changping Hou's family can do such shameless things, what else can't happen?

Shen Xiaolou kept the fire burning until almost three o'clock. Dinner was served in the big kitchen. There was meat and soup. The food was very good.Just when she was about to go back, Manager Zhao suddenly asked her to help deliver hot water to the guest house.

What a windfall!
Shen Xiaolou's eyes lit up and he lifted the barrel with one hand, "Don't think I'm thin, but I'm actually quite strong."
