Chapter 428 The Truth ([-])

Mother Rong went to take orders, and replied in the evening: "Except for those who went out on serious business, only Aunt Qin passed by with a girl. When she saw Mrs. Xing and Wang's family, she asked why they weren't on duty today. Where are they? Sister-in-law Xing and Wang Sanjia went back. She said that Sister-in-law Wu and Master Liu went out with Miss San on duty. Aunt Qin asked them if the princess knew? Did you report to the princess? I heard that the princess She also went out, so she didn't say anything. Aunt Qin always has a bad mouth, but the nagging one is annoying!"

Aunt Qin?Yao Cunhui was a little confused.Just like what Rong Ma said, Aunt Qin has a bad mouth and loves to wander around with nothing to do, so it's normal for her to say these words casually, it's not unreasonable!
Besides, Aunt Qin's IQ and EQ are even more unreliable than Lu Ying. The Lu family really trusts her to do things?Are you not afraid of messing things up?Could it be that she hides too deeply?It doesn't look like it!
"Except for Aunt Qin, has no one else been there? Can you find out all about it?" Yao Cunhui asked again.

Rong Ma shook her head, "It seems that there are no more! This old slave is not easy to ask too bluntly, these few days old slave will slowly make out of the way! The princess asked this to-"

Yao Cunhui sighed softly, looked at Rong's mother and said, "I'm not hiding it from you, this matter..." He said what Qian Shan said and his own guess.

Mother Rong became anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "The old slave also thinks that the concubine's guess is right! If it is true, someone will come to report to the concubine and persuade the concubine to send someone or go in person. Is it really Aunt Qin? Don't lie to the concubine. Said, the old slave thinks it's not very reliable!"

Yao Cunhui chuckled, "I think so too! That's why I wonder if I missed someone else!"

Rong Ma was silent for a moment, then said: "If that's the case, then that person must have promised Mrs. Xing and Wang's family the benefits of not telling them! But it's not easy to ask about this matter clearly, otherwise it will be as if there is something to attract people. Pay attention to suspicion, but it is not good!"

Yao Cunhui nodded, and said with lingering fear: "No! That's what I'm afraid of!" She is just a sister-in-law who has no blood relationship at all, and Shen Quan is a brother, and she can't ask too carefully about Shen Jialin's affairs!Even if Shen Jialin didn't listen to her words and went out of the house willfully, she was doing her mother's filial piety to buy things. Now that she has come back safe and sound, she still has to send someone to ask here and there. Isn't that clearly telling people that there is something weird here?Did Shen Jialin not annoy her?I'm afraid Mrs. Xiao will be unhappy if she finds out!

Knowing her difficulties, Rong's mother hurriedly comforted her, saying that she would investigate the matter secretly, please rest assured.Yao Cunhui didn't want to make Rong's mother worry, so she pretended to be relaxed.

Shen Jialin didn't go out for two days, saying she was not feeling well, so she rested in her room bored.Mrs. Xiao was very anxious, and hurriedly sent Mama Li to visit.Yao Cunhui knew that she had a heart disease and wanted to avoid others to avoid embarrassment.

Although she knew it well, she had to do it on the surface.Knowing that the last thing Shen Jialin wants to see at this time is that she has to bring some food to visit the wisteria house in person.

Sure enough, Shen Jialin didn't see her. When she went, Haitang replied that the young lady had already fallen asleep.Yao Cunhui didn't say much after putting down the things, and told Haitang to take good care of her and to report back immediately if something happened.Haitang would dare to commit another crime if she had a clue in her hands, she almost swore to show her loyalty.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jialin came to Xihe Hall in person on this day.

"Sister-in-law!" Shen Jialin was wearing a pair of knee-length Lu silk skirts printed with rose-red roses on a moon-white background, a light yellow satin skirt, combed her hair, and simply put a green jade hairpin on her hair and counted the broken beads. The figure is slender and pitiful, and looks very weak.

"My sister is getting better?" Yao Cunhui smiled and sat down with her hand. She was surprised to see her haggard and dull face. "My sister is not in good spirits. Did you sleep well at night?"

Where can I sleep soundly!Shen Jialin smiled wryly in her heart.

"It's nothing, just rest for two days!" Shen Jialin was a little embarrassed and guilty.She believes that Yao Cunhui must know about her, and maybe Rongma, Hong Liao and other Yao Cunhui's confidants also know that she is a rich lady, and she will always be thin-skinned and embarrassing in front of servants.

"Come on, let's talk in the warm pavilion! It's more comfortable to sit inside!" Yao Cunhui guessed that she had something to say, so he got up and entered the warm pavilion with her. After the tea, melon and fruit snacks were served, Yao Cunhui retreated wisely.

"Sister-in-law, help me!" Yao Cunhui was still thinking about how to relieve Shen Jialin, but she didn't want Shen Jialin to slip down and kneel beside her, pulling her sleeves and pleading earnestly, her chin slightly raised, her expression was mournful, her eyes The water is full of light.

"Sister, get up! What is this?" Yao Cunhui panicked and pulled her away.

"Sister-in-law!" Shen Jialin knelt down firmly with her hand, and said with tears in her eyes, "I know I shouldn't say this, but, but I really like Mr. Tang! Sister-in-law, you are also someone who has been here before, you must understand me right?"

"I—" Yao Cunhui only felt that his tongue was heavy, and he felt speechless.

If it is said that Shen Jialin gave and received privately, isn't she the same as Shen Quan?Shen Quan is desperate for her, and everyone is watching.Shen Jialin's boldness to say these words to her could not be considered abrupt.

"Sister-in-law, Mr. Tang is a scholar, and he will definitely be successful in the future! He is worthy of our family status! Sister-in-law, can you help me?"

"Get up first!" Yao Cunhui thought, not to mention whether Mr. Tang will be promising in the future, Mrs. Xiao always loves her daughters, and she is not a person with family background prejudice, and Shen Quan would not care about this—otherwise she would She won't be marrying Yao Cunhui, even if Mr. Tang's qualifications are mediocre, Shen Jialin really likes her, as long as there is no talk of "Ms. Shen's private decision for life", Mrs. Xiao and Shen Quan will most likely be happy to help them!But the problem is, this is a trap!

That anonymous letter can be said to be unbelievable, but Qian Shan clearly hid under the window and heard the conversation between Mr. Tang and Poppi, so it can be seen that this person must have a wicked heart!How could Shen Jialin marry such a person?

"Sister-in-law, promise me, okay! Sister-in-law, I beg you!" Shen Jialin's tears rolled down.

"My good sister, how can you call my sister-in-law like this! Get up quickly, we have something to discuss!" Yao Cunhui hastily coaxed softly.A young girl who is just in love with her head is hot and can't listen to persuasion, not to mention that although Shen Jialin usually doesn't talk much, she is gentle and kind to others, but in her bones she is as stubborn as Shen Quan, so she definitely won't listen to persuasion !Yao Cunhui dare not say Mr. Tang is bad!
"Sister-in-law, you agree!" Shen Jialin was overjoyed, and looked at Yao Cunhui with tears in her eyes.

Yao Cunhui sighed slightly, and said softly: "My good sister, my sister-in-law will help you find out about this matter. You have to wait until your brother comes back and your mother is better. What do you think?"

"Sister-in-law's words are so true! I feel relieved to have her words!" Shen Jialin felt guilty for a while, and when Yao Cunhui pulled her again, she stood up and sat aside to wipe away her tears.

"That day, how could Qianshan—" Shen Jialin twisted her veil and lowered her head, recalling the situation that day, she was still a little embarrassed.

Yao Cunhui had expected that she didn't realize it at the time, and would become suspicious afterwards, so she said bluntly: "I learned that you were out of the house, and I rushed there in fear of accidents. Shan rushed to see it. Maybe Qian Shan misunderstood what I said, thinking that you were being bullied and afraid that you would be held hostage, so he quietly broke in through the window!"

"Sister-in-law... That day, it was my fault, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have kept it from sister-in-law!" Shen Jialin said in a low voice, slightly embarrassed.The reason why she kept it from Yao Cunhui that day was because she was afraid that Yao Cunhui would not allow her to go because it was unsafe, but Yao Cunhui was really worried and Qian Shan misunderstood her.

Sure enough, Yao Cunhui said: "Something happened in Pujing Temple a few days ago, so why don't you worry about it?"

When Yao Cunhui had promised to help her, Shen Jialin didn't hide it from her when she was "one of my own", blushing and whispered: "Three days ago, Mr. Tang asked someone to bring me a message to ask me to meet. I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't let me go out. , That’s why—sister-in-law, I won’t dare in the future!”

Yao Cunhui was taken aback, and frowned, "How could he bring you news?"

Shen Jialin's face turned even redder, "It's Haitang's mother..."

"Nonsense!" Yao Cunhui couldn't help but change color, "Jialin, if people find out about this, your reputation will be completely ruined!" Yao Cunhui didn't know what to say!How can a girl who is obviously very smart be so confused!
"No! Don't worry, sister-in-law," Shen Jialin hurriedly explained to Yao Cunhui.It turned out that there was no letterhead or oral message, but that Shen Jialin had already agreed with Haitang's mother that Shixi's secret sugar lotus root was produced by a restaurant called Hexianglou not far from Zhenxi Prince's Mansion. Xianglou had agreed to ask them to bring it from time to time, and if they did, they would ask Haitang's mother to take it back to the wisteria house.In this way, every time Shen Jialin got Tang Xin lotus root, she would know that it was Tang Yan who asked her to meet in three days.

Since Shen Quan left the capital, Yao Cunhui had been very strict with the palace, and Tang Yan didn't dare to come to look for her often. There were only three times in total, and this last time Shen Jialin was caught lying about Yao Cunhui.

After hearing this, Yao Cunhui couldn't laugh or cry, and was speechless!
What should she say?My sister-in-law is really talented!She also called it a fluke in her heart, fortunately there was no correspondence, otherwise, things would be even more difficult!However, if it was a letter, Haitang's mother might not dare to pass it on for Shen Jialin. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If things are revealed, their family will be miserable!

"Who came up with this idea?" Yao Cunhui asked with a casual smile.

Shen Jialin's face was slightly hot, and she lowered her eyes and said: "Yes, he said it. He said it was more concealed, so that no one would know about it, so as not to underestimate me..."

When Yao Cunhui heard this, he knew that Shen Jialin was completely captured by that Tang!Who wouldn't say cheap words?He wanted to hide it from others because he was afraid of being spoiled, but he coaxed Shen Jialin around!
