The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 440 A Guest Visits (2)
After Shen Xuan sat down with each other, their hearts were moving with each other, and the atmosphere in the hall was suppressed for a moment.Shen Xuan was waiting for the other party to explain the purpose of coming, but did not ask aloud.The other party was observing Shen Xuan, assessing how much the purpose of coming today can be achieved.

The eldest concubine of the Duke of Zhen's mansion is named Liu Zhen, and she is the niece of the mistress of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. The marriage with Xue Yaoshuo, the eldest son of Xue, can be regarded as a close relationship.The Liu family was originally a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but the ability of their descendants was limited, and it slowly began to decline.If there was no cooperation between Xue Yaoxi and Mrs. Xue before, allowing Liu Wanting to marry into the Duke's Mansion as his successor, then there would be no such thing as Liu's daughter marrying into the Duke's Mansion now.

It has been two years since Liu Zhen married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. A year ago, she just gave birth to a boy, which indirectly made her husband Xue Shizi secure the position of the son.But in the big family of Xue's mansion, there are many fights, both openly and secretly.Now that the old lady is dying, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are discussing, hoping to use this matter to let Xue Yaoxi go back to the Zhen Guogong's mansion to ease the conflict between them.

After all, Xue Yaoxi now lives in the third rank and holds real power in his hands, and his wife Shen Xuan is a princess who is personally appointed by the emperor and is deeply loved by the emperor and queen.Under such circumstances, some people in Zhen Guo Gongfu hoped to reconnect with Xue Yaoxi.

Yun Shu had ordered someone to serve herbal tea again just now. The imperial concubine Liu Zhen drank a few sips, put down the teacup, and adjusted her thoughts, then said to Shen Xuan in a gentle tone, "I will tell you the truth, Mrs. Xue, this imperial concubine Did you come here today to discuss something?"

Hearing what the other party said, Shen Xuan knew that it was time to enter today's topic, so she followed the other party's words and asked, "I don't know what the concubine Shizi needs to discuss. If it can be done, my wife will definitely help."

"The old lady in the mansion is seriously ill now, and now the old man wants to see his eldest grandson. A few days ago, my husband also went to meet Mr. Xue in person, but Mr. Xue refused to go back to the mansion. Seeing that the old lady is dying, now this eldest son The concubine had no choice but to come to the mansion to ask for help, and asked Madam Xue to persuade Mr. Xue. No matter how big the contradiction is, the current situation..." After looking at Shen Xuan's face again and again, and seeing nothing unusual, the eldest concubine Liu Zhen said Only then did he speak, his tone and expression were well expressed, worried.Emotions such as requests are shown on the face.

After listening to the other party's words, Shen Xuan laughed inwardly, what she said was better than what she sang.

It was said earlier that the old lady wanted her grandson, and she acted as if she was thinking of the old man, and then she called Mrs. Xue immediately afterwards, and put a distance between each other.Just now, he asked the other party to change his name to Mrs. Xue, but he changed his name immediately.This pretentiousness was not because he was worried that if the husband and wife took the opportunity to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo and compete with them for the position of the son, Shen Xuan thought so.

"My wife has written down what the concubine said. After my husband returns to the mansion today, I will bring it up with my husband. As for the final decision, it depends on my husband's own wishes." Shen Xuan continued in a neutral tone. replied.

"Then Mrs. Xue will have to worry about this matter. I just hope Mrs. Xue can figure it out as soon as possible. The old lady probably won't be able to wait for long." Hearing Shen Xuan's answer, Princess Liu Zhen added another sentence.

He explained the purpose of today's visit, and chatted with Shen Xuan for a while.After getting closer, the eldest concubine Liu Zhen was ready to go back home.

After sending the other party away, Shen Xuan returned to the courtyard and lay down lazily.Recall the temptation of both sides just now.In the language contest, Shen Xuan suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she really didn't like this kind of thing more and more.Competing with each other in cryptic language is really tiring and tiring.

Shen Xuan's heart made her "reclusive" in her future life. In the days to come, Shen Xuan seldom participated in some boring banquets held by the wives of the aristocratic families in the capital.With the promotion of Xue Yaoxi's official position in the future, Shen Xuan's status will also become higher and higher. Even if Shen Xuan seldom interacts with those official wives, those people dare not talk behind their backs.Because Xue Yaoxi and Shen Xuan were deeply favored by the emperor at that time, as long as they were shrewd, they would not offend them at will.

When it was lunch time, Shen Xuan ate a few mouthfuls, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and then lay lazily on the couch.Seeing Shen Xuan like this.Thinking of Shen Xuan's loss of appetite in recent days, Yun Shu suppressed the speculation in his heart, and decided to go to Li Luo's counselor later to see if it was necessary to suggest a doctor to come and see Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan was too lazy to move, and fell asleep in a daze on the couch.When Shen Xuan woke up, she found that the sun in the sky had moved to the west, and the sun's light became less poisonous.

Hearing movement in the room, Li Luo, who was guarding outside, hurried in, saw Shen Xuan woke up, and rushed forward to serve her.

"Ma'am, you're awake." Li Luo said aloud, with a hint of worry in her tone, it was because Shen Xuan slept a lot longer than usual.

Thinking of what Yun Shu had mentioned to her before, Li Luo looked at the master who was exuding a lazy aura, and wondered in her heart whether it was really time to propose to find a doctor to show the master.Although I know that my master has some medical skills, isn't there a saying that "doctors don't heal themselves"?
"What time is it?" Shen Xuan asked aloud.After waiting for a while without hearing Li Luo's answer, Shen Xuan turned her head to look at the other party, saw Li Luo's expression in her eyes, and continued to ask, "What are you thinking, are you in a daze?"

Hearing Shen Xuan's inquiry again, Li Luo finally recovered from her own thoughts, realized her mistake in behavior just now, and hurriedly confessed, "Madam, forgive me, my servant was distracted just now."

Seeing Li Luo's respectful attitude of admitting her mistakes, Shen Xuan didn't intend to pursue the matter any further.Shen Xuan has always been tolerant of the capable maidservants around her, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Okay, be more careful next time."

"Yes, ma'am, thank you ma'am for not punishing me." After hearing Shen Xuan's words, Li Luo hurriedly expressed her thanks.

"What time is it now? By the way, what were you thinking just now, so engrossed?" Shen Xuan asked again.Seeing Li Luo distracted for the first time, Shen Xuan's eyes were full of curiosity, curious about what attracted the attention of a sleazy Li Luo.

"Return to madam, there are still two quarters of an hour before Shen Shi." Li Luo replied.

Hearing Li Luo's answer, Shen Xuan realized that she had slept for a long time, and she didn't wake up until now.Shen Xuan was a little puzzled, she obviously didn't feel too tired, why did she sleep for so long?
Carefully looking at the changing expression on Shen Xuan's face, Li Luo suggested, "Ma'am, do you want to invite a doctor to take a look? You ate very little these days, even if the weather was hot before. This has happened."

Hearing Li Luo's suggestion, Shen Xuan thought for a while, and then said aloud, "Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days, if it's still like this then, I'm looking for a doctor." Looking at Li Luo, Shen Xuan He asked again, "Talk to Yun Shu, don't mention this to others beforehand, and the most important thing is not to let your husband know, so that he won't worry."
