Chapter 12 Danger Approaches
Shen Minghui was pushed aside by Old Man Shen, and he also stood up. Seeing his wife leaning against the door, standing there watching the fun, he walked over quickly, "My wife!"
"Hmm," Lin Yuxi answered lazily. Looking at the energetic Shen Minghui, and then at the rabbit, she couldn't help but sigh at Shen Minghui's strong energy. He had been busy for half the night interrogating Shen Mingzhu, and this morning he was running around non-stop, yet he still had the energy to follow his elder brother up the mountain to catch rabbits!
"Boss, where have you been so early in the morning? You finally come back, but you don't even help with the housework!" Old Mrs. Shen's signature loud voice rang out, and her words, as if she was blaming someone else, immediately diluted the warm atmosphere that had just been there.
Shen Mingyuan frowned and glanced at Old Lady Shen indifferently. The words that were stuck in his throat were about to come out, but the next moment he met his wife's worried gaze and forced himself to hold back the words.
"Hey, mother, why are you talking about the eldest brother? Aren't the brothers just worried about Daddy and Mommy's pregnancy, so they can't wait to go up the mountain?"
"I know you care about my brothers and worry about the dangers on the mountain! You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but saying this hurts them so much!"
Sharp tongue but kind heart?
Haha, can this be used in this way?
Everyone laughed in their hearts, and then realized something was wrong. Was it Mingzhu who said that?
Looking at Shen Mingzhu standing next to Old Lady Shen, smiling sweetly and acting like a spoiled child, everyone felt something was wrong. Did this girl take the wrong medicine today? Or did the sun rise from the west?
"Girl, I just feel sorry for you!" Old Lady Shen tapped Shen Mingzhu's forehead affectionately, scolded her with a smile, and then grabbed Shen Mingzhu's slightly wrinkled hand after working all morning, "Girl, you will have a life of luxury in the future, so just be obedient. We won't do these jobs, just leave them to your sister-in-law and the others!"
Shen*good-looking*no special skills*Mingzhu:……
How could my mother be so confident that she could go to the city and enjoy a good life? Was it because of her pretty face? Or was it because of her useless talent?
Shen Mingzhu curled her lips and didn't care about it in her heart. But when she thought about marrying a village peasant and working hard in the fields, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
The sisters-in-law smiled, saying that what their mother said was right. Anyway, they couldn't do anything, so they could do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't cause trouble for the family.
"Hey, little sister, did you work today? Did the sun rise from the west today?" Shen Laosan had long looked down on Shen Mingzhu for doing nothing and making trouble for others. Today, Shen Mingzhu actually did some work for the first time, so he couldn't help but take the opportunity to sneer at her. No matter what the reason is, just have fun first!
Seeing that the old lady was about to lose her temper, Shen Lao Er quickly took the initiative to sigh, "My little sister has grown up!" Then, facing the gazes of everyone, he looked at Shen Mingzhu with pity, and after a long while, he said, "Hey, before I knew it, Mingzhu has grown up so much, she is already a big girl!"
Seeing Old Lady Shen's thoughtful expression, Old Second Shen felt relieved and took advantage of the situation to say, "Our Mingzhu will get married in the future, so she really needs to take good care of her reputation!"
Right, right, reputation?
Did you hear what I said?
The key is reputation! You are such an adult, but you don't work every day, and you order your sister-in-law and niece around everywhere. How can you do anything? Don't you see what people are saying about you? Do you still want to get married?
Shen Lao Er had a smile on his face as if he was so relieved, but no one knew that he was complaining a lot in his heart.
Old Mrs. Shen's expression froze. She knew, of course, that her daughter didn't have a very good reputation outside, but the masters all said that her daughter was destined to enjoy a happy life.
What’s the big deal about a few gossips? It won’t cost you a few pieces of meat, so just say it!
Old Mrs. Shen comforted herself for a moment, and felt relieved and righteous again. She couldn't help but raise her chin a few degrees higher.
"Humph, what's the point of caring about reputation? Everyone's reputation is made up. As long as you don't tell others about our family affairs, no one would have the time to study our trivial matters!"
When Old Lady Shen said this, she looked at her daughters-in-law with suspicion. Could it be that these blind people were ruining the reputation of her daughters?
After thinking about it for a while, the eldest daughter-in-law was not at home all year round, so it couldn't be her. The second daughter-in-law always took care of her daughter, so it couldn't be her either. The third daughter-in-law...
Old Lady Shen thought about the third daughter-in-law's personality of saying whatever she thought, and frowned. Could it be the third daughter-in-law? But then she thought about the fourth daughter-in-law who dared to resist for a broken wooden sign, so she was also very suspicious!
When Old Mrs. Shen thought of this, she couldn't help but shoot her sharp eyes towards the fourth son's wife. Then she noticed the considerate actions of the fourth son in supporting his wife, which made her even more furious!
Vixen, how dare she seduce my own son in broad daylight!
"Old Four, keep an eye on your wife. What's wrong with her in broad daylight?"
Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi looked at each other. What was wrong with the old lady? How did the fire reach us? It was so confusing!
Everyone was puzzled, and seeing the fourth brother's wife with a wound on her head, standing there weakly, they couldn't help but feel pity for her. Such a beautiful girl, the white gauze was really dazzling!
"Oh, mother, don't worry. My younger sister is so diligent now. Are you still worried that she won't have a good reputation?" So you must keep it up! The eldest daughter-in-law, Li, smiled and went forward to comfort the old lady. When she met the younger sister's eyes, she also smiled kindly. It seemed that everything was fine, and the wind was light and the clouds were shallow!
"Yes, mother, our little sister has both good looks and good character. Once her reputation spreads, the number of suitors will probably be overwhelming!" The second son's wife, Xu, joked with a smile. She laughed happily as if she had really seen this scene.
As a few people chatted and laughed, the storm disappeared into thin air.
Changle Marquis Mansion in Beijing
"Hahahahahaha, great!" After some verification, it was finally confirmed that the little bastard was in Longshan County. Seeing that his future would be bright, Marquis Changle couldn't help but laugh out loud!
After a long while, he said, "Someone come!"
The "Marquis's" chief steward Lin Xiaozhi was on standby at all times and responded immediately upon hearing the order.
"Send people to Longshan County as fast as possible! Get that wooden sign at all costs! Do you hear me? At all costs!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!" Lin Xiaozhi was shocked when he heard the Marquis' death order, and he quickly agreed. He knew that if he didn't complete the task this time, he would probably die! He didn't dare to slack off again, and quickly retreated to arrange for manpower!
Stepmother Jiang was satisfied, but her expression showed some hesitation. She said slowly, "Cousin, this... wouldn't be inappropriate? What if these people hurt Yuxi..."
"Don't mention that little bastard to me!" Marquis Changle said coldly, "Oh, a child born to a merchant's daughter is not worthy of being my, Lin Zhiyuan's daughter!" Seeing Jiang's face turn pale, he couldn't help but stand up and go forward to comfort her.
"You! You are just too kind! It was the Chang family that intervened between us, but you actually gave in for the sake of a merchant's daughter and married that useless Gu Chendong for nothing!"
When Marquis Changle thought of the grievances that Jiang had suffered over the years, his hatred for Chang deepened.
Jiang Lanyan leaned softly in the arms of Marquis Changle, and said with deep affection, "Yan'er knows that my cousin is also helpless, but Yan'er really has no choice but to watch my cousin live with others!"
When Changle Hou heard this, he felt a surge of sympathy in his heart, and couldn't help but hug the woman he had kept in his heart since childhood! His silly Yan'er!
Thinking of the frustration of having to marry Chang, the anxiety of learning that her cousin was getting married, and the ecstasy of unexpectedly learning that Gu Chendong was a loser who couldn't consummate the marriage...
Fortunately, fortunately!
After all the twists and turns, my cousin finally belongs to me!
