My wife is frail and sickly

How could it be that her auspicious silk fabric was leaking water?Mrs. Lin didn't give up and broke away from Xu's mother's support, "Get the car ready." She wanted to see it with her own eyes.

She went to Wang's shop first. She sat in the car and looked outside without getting out of the car.She saw that Wang's shop was indeed safe and sound, with many customers coming in and out. The clerks had decent smiles on their faces and walked with wind under their feet. It was obvious that business was good.

Lin's eyes were like daggers. She gritted her teeth and whispered: "Let's go!"

The driver quickly turned the car around.

Lin thinks he is low-key, but in fact there are flaws everywhere.With such a big car parked at the door and no one getting out, who wouldn't take a second look?Although the carriage Lin was riding in did not have the markings of the Hou Mansion, the servants of the Hou Mansion were recognized.

"The shopkeeper is a servant of the Changping Marquis Mansion, but I don't know which master is in the carriage. He stopped at our door for a long time and then left again." A waiter was very surprised and quietly reported to shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang knew the inside story, and with a serious look on his face, he immediately said, "Follow me quietly and take a look."

When Mrs. Lin went to Changlong Street, she saw a circle of people watching the excitement outside her shop from a distance, and her face darkened.Seeing this, Mother Xu quickly ordered her entourage to follow, "What would it look like to drive people away and gather them all around here?"

The entourage went over to drive the crowd away, followed closely by the carriage.When everyone saw a carriage with so many followers following it, they all wanted to take a closer look and stopped again at a distance.

Mrs. Lin got off the carriage and looked at the shop where most of the beams had been burned down. Her eyes went dark again, but she heard people talking about the evil in the fire last night.She cheered up and took a closer look, didn't she?Her shop was the only one on this street that burned down, and the two families closest to her didn't suffer at all.

She was startled and confused, and suddenly a chill ran down her spine in broad daylight. "Go home." These two words were squeezed out from between her teeth.

Shen Xiaolou also saw Mrs. Lin. She was ready to leave, but she didn't expect this surprise.Although surrounded by a group of maids and women, Shen Xiaolou had good eyesight and could still clearly see her appearance. She was... quite pretty. No wonder she was able to win over Shen Derong and have three sons and one daughter with her.

Mrs. Lin couldn't sit still and looked at the shop. You can imagine how important this shop is to her. Ha, she is indeed a capable person. Shen Xiaolou is proud of it.

While her illness was killing her, Shen Xiaolou decided to give Mrs. Lin another big gift and pave the way for her to return home.

Lin fell ill when she returned to the mansion. Shen Derong hurriedly came to visit, "What's wrong with Madam?" He was shocked when he saw Madam leaning weakly on the bedside and her haggard look.

"Master Marquis." Mrs. Lin shed tears before she could say anything. This time she was not pretending, but was sincerely sad, "It's okay, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"What happened?" Shen Derong became even more anxious and asked repeatedly.

Ms. Lin twisted her face and wept silently without saying a word.Shen Derong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He pointed at Mother Xu and said, "Mother Xu, tell me, who made Madam unhappy?"

Xu's mother lowered her head and wiped the non-existent tears, and said, "Master Marquis, madam, alas, madam, it's so difficult. Last night, the Jixiang Silk and Satin Shop on East Street was flooded and burned to the ground. Madam, this morning If you go and see it, you won’t feel comfortable when you come back.”

Shen Derong thought it was some big deal, so he looked relieved, "Isn't it just a shop? Burn it if you burn it. If the old ones don't go away and the new ones don't come in, why should you think you are seriously ill?"

Mrs. Lin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up: "You said it lightly. If you are not a householder, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. In that area of ​​East Street, a shop can sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Plus the inventory in the shop, I am so embarrassed." The loss is huge. As you know, I don’t have much property, so I just use this shop to support a few children. Now..."

She looked downcast, "My pain is just one aspect. The shop was completely burned. From this, we can infer that the fire must have been huge last night. But when I looked at it, it was my shop that burned down the whole street. Everyone else's shops were in good condition." Yes, it's very weird. Don't think someone is targeting me intentionally, but I have always been kind to others, and I really can't remember who I offended. It would be fine if I only targeted me, but what if I came for the Marquis Mansion and Lord Marquis? "

She spoke quickly and urgently, full of worry.

After hearing this, Shen Derong felt extremely worried, "Okay, okay, it's all my husband's fault. It's my husband who didn't understand your worries. You can rest assured that you are your husband. Renyi, take my post to repay Officer, please check carefully, I see who is so bold and dares to stir up trouble in Tai Sui?"

After a pause, he then said: "You are the wife of my Ming matchmaker and the mistress of the Hou Mansion. How can I still lack your support? How about this? I will pay you 1 taels privately. How about it? Don't be upset now. ?”

"Master Hou!" Mrs. Lin was coquettishly angry, and gave him a light thump. The charming smoke wave flew over. She was full of charm, and she complained, "It seems that I am obsessed with wealth." Shen Derong was in a happy mood, and said seriously: "Mrs. She is not a money addict, my wife is obviously a good wife for her husband."

"Master Hou..."

"Isn't it right for my husband to say that?"

……

Shopkeeper Wang learned that the person on the carriage was the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and his expression was extremely solemn, "Are you sure you didn't identify the wrong person?"

The waiter was very firm, "Shopkeeper, you have forgotten. I went to the Marquis Mansion with you once and met that lady. She is really the one. I can't be mistaken."

This thing is strange!
Others don't know it, but shopkeeper Wang knows that the Jixiang Silk Shop on East Street is the property of the Changping Hou Mansion. If the shop is burned down, he won't bother the mother of the Hou Mansion to check it out. The important thing is why is she coming to the Wang family's shop?It's not going her way. Did she think it was the Wang family who set the fire?
No, this matter must be reported to the Second Master.

After Wang Hecheng found out, he couldn't guess what Mr. Lin had planned, but it didn't stop him from being in a good mood.

Just when everyone in the Wang family was puzzled, a piece of news spread quietly in the capital, among the people in the market, among the servants of high-ranking families, and then reached the ears of all the masters.

"Zisu, Dingxiang, what are you two mumbling about? Is there anything that I, the master, cannot know?" A young and beautiful girl in the back house of a certain house lazily raised her head.

The two maids who were called were not afraid and even smiled, "Miss, I just heard something new and was about to report it to you."

"What's new?" The young lady disagreed.

"It concerns Miss Shen of the Changping Marquis Mansion."

"Oh, tell me quickly." The young lady suddenly became interested.

"Miss, didn't Miss Shen's maternal family come to her with great fanfare a few days ago to give her a birthday gift?"

"Isn't this nothing new?" The young lady curled her lips. Shen Qingya had already shown off, didn't she just have a rich maternal wife?It's just a merchant, what's there to show off? It's so annoying!

"Miss, please listen to what I'm saying slowly. This person is Miss Shen's uncle. He suddenly moved out of the Changping Marquis Mansion a few days ago. He said he looked particularly ugly when he left. Miss, do you know why he Are you moving out?" The maid looked mysterious.

"Speak quickly." The young lady glared at her with an expression that said, "You deserve a beating."

The maid smiled again, "Because the Wang family discovered that Miss Shen is not the real Miss Shen at all. Miss Shen is someone else, the original wife of Marquis Changping."

The young lady's eyes widened, "Really? Shen Qingya's mother is the stepmother? Miss Shen also has a sister-in-law? Why have I never heard of it?"

The maid said: "I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what I heard. But I think it's groundless, so it's probably true."

The young lady was very excited, "So the Wang family is not Shen Qingya's maternal family at all, but the natal family of the first wife of Marquis Changping? Shen Qingya has been pretending to be the Wang family's cousin for so many years... It's really disgusting! My mother even praised her. She has outstanding character, let me learn more from her... I have to ask my mother." She stood up and walked out quickly.

There are more than one similar scenario.

Shen Qingya, who went out to attend a poetry meeting, returned home crying. (End of chapter)
