When Shen Fanghui came to Mrs. Zhu's room, Mrs. Zhu was embroidering with her maid.
When people outside spread the news that Shen Fanghui was looking for her, she just exchanged a look with her maid.
Obviously, they didn't know why Shen Fanghui came. You must know that because of the previous events, logically speaking, they should have disliked each other for a long time.
However, doubts remained in her heart, and she did not embarrass the other party. She just asked Shen Fanghui to be invited into her room.
When Shen Fanghui came in, her face was full of kindness.
They naturally understood the rule of not hitting the smiling person, so when they saw Shen Fanghui's innocent behavior, the two of them just smiled.
The moment the three of them met, it was as if nothing had happened.
As Shen Fanghui took the initiative to come to see Mrs. Zhu, naturally she also chose to take the initiative to speak.
"Mrs. Zhu, my cousin wrote a letter a few days ago and sent me some osmanthus honey from Beijing. I was thinking that you were arranging for people in Zhuangzi to fetch some honey a few days ago? So I sent I brought this sweet-scented osmanthus honey here. If you don’t mind it, just accept it.”
While she was talking, Shen Fanghui went behind her to get a jar of honey.
However, when she saw Shen Fanghui bringing nectar, Mrs. Zhu's face was obviously a little embarrassed.
Firstly, she didn't know what Shen Fanghui's purpose was for coming here, and secondly, she had not been kind to Shen Fanghui before, and she even put medicine in Shen Fanghui's bowl, so she was very worried that Shen Fanghui would use the same method to deal with her. .
When she thought of this, she just laughed, but she did not step forward to pick up the honey.
"Hui Niang is interested, but I am not short of nectar now, because the servants in the mansion have gone to the village to fetch things for me, so I appreciate your kindness."
Upon hearing what Mrs. Zhu said, Shen Fanghui also knew that Mrs. Zhu would probably not accept her things now, but she was not embarrassed.
Since Mrs. Zhu didn’t want it, she wouldn’t give it away.
After all, giving something away is just an introduction.
Now that the topic has been opened, she naturally doesn't need to use this introduction anymore.
After Mrs. Zhu rejected Shen Fanghui's kindness, she only added, "I have more nectar here than I can use up. If Miss Shen doesn't mind, you can take some of my nectar back and try it, right?"
Shen Fanghui just smiled and said, "Since Madam is willing to give it, I am naturally happy to accept it. It just so happens that I also want to taste the nectar in this village."
Unexpectedly, Shen Fanghui actually dared to ask for the nectar. Madam Zhu was a little surprised for a moment, but Shen Fanghui only took the initiative to look at the maid next to Madam Zhu and said, "Miss Guier, Madam and I can't go there. Can you and Yue'e get this nectar for me?"
Unexpectedly, Shen Fanghui actually wanted to collect their things, but now she actually directly arranged for her to do so.
Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but look at her wife. However, the lady had already guessed the true meaning of Shen Fanghui in Shen Fanghui's words. She didn't want nectar. She just used the opportunity to ask for nectar to drive others away. Just leave.
So Mrs. Zhu understood the key and couldn't help but said to Gui'er below, "Since Miss Lu has spoken, you can lead Yue'e to get the nectar."
After hearing what his wife had said, Guier just cooperated and led Yue'e away.
After Yue'e and Guier left, Shen Fanghui said to Madam Zhu, "Madam, you should know why I came here, right?"
Facing Shen Fanghui's questions, Mrs. Zhu pretended to be ignorant at this time.
"Please make it clear, girl, that if you come to me, I really don't know what you are coming to me for."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but take the initiative and said, "Didn't the eldest young master come to see you today? He was asking you about the whereabouts of the third master. At that time, you also told the fact that the third master had been killed. You always Don’t you remember?”
noodle
In response to Shen Fanghui's question, Mrs. Zhu immediately laughed out loud.
"Miss Lu is really good at joking. How could I have said such a thing? Even if I did, you wouldn't think it was true, would you?"
Realizing that Mrs. Zhu was planning to muddle through, Shen Fanghui straightened her face again and said, "Mrs. Zhu, of course I believe what you said is true in that situation? Don't forget that Liu Ye'er is still in our hands." Go ahead, if she wants to say something, and it happens to be known to the eldest master, aren't you afraid that you will end up with a tragic end? Even your child may have the legitimacy of his bloodline questioned."
After hearing Shen Fanghui's threat, the smile on Mrs. Zhu's face obviously faded.
But even so, she refused to let go no matter what this time. After all, Zhu Yuewu seemed to have begun to change his mind now, and she didn't believe that Zhu Zanxun could defeat Zhu Yuewu at all.
So instead of being a traitor and being pushed by the other party to clean herself up after taking over, or being pushed forward by this untrustworthy person, she might as well go straight to the dark side.
That's why Mrs. Zhu, despite Shen Fanghui's threats, still said, "Miss Lu, I really don't know what you are talking about. I have no right to interfere with what you want to do."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhu also put away the smile on her face. At the same time, she just stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation. ap.
Shen Fanghui was a little surprised by her tough performance.
However, she still said, "Madam, you have to think clearly. If the scandal between you and Zhu Yuewu spreads, no one will be able to help you."
However, Mrs. Zhu just sneered and said, "I really don't know what you are talking about? I can't stop the girl from doing anything she wants to do. I can only accept my fate if she slanders me."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhu stood up and said righteously to the people outside, "Come here! See the guests off!"
After hearing Madam Zhu's words, Gui'er, who was originally outside the house, naturally entered the house immediately. At the same time, only Shen Fanghui's maid Yue'e came in with her.
However, there was nothing else in Yue'e's hands at this time. However, Shen Fanghui was not surprised by this.
On the other side, Guier, after receiving the order from her wife, took the initiative to walk to Shen Fanghui and said, "Miss Lu, our wife would like to ask you to leave from here."
Facing Na Guier's invitation, Shen Fanghui naturally had no choice but to leave. However, before leaving, she still said to Madam Zhu without giving up, "Madam, I think you may have something at the moment." You didn't tell me the truth due to external reasons, but it doesn't matter, I will wait for you for a while."
However, in response to Shen Fanghui's words, Mrs. Zhu just sneered, "No need to wait, the girl can do whatever she wants. I can't interfere."
After returning from Mrs. Zhu's place, Shen Fanghui had no choice but to find Zhu Zanxun.
After Zhu Zanxun learned about Madam Zhu's attitude, he immediately discussed Madam Zhu's attitude with Shen Fanghui.
"She was able to say these words mostly because Zhu Yuewu came back. She thought Zhu Yuewu could settle everything for her. In addition, he was somewhat afraid of Zhu Yuewu."
"Then what should we do now?" Shen Fanghui asked immediately.
After all, Zhu Zanxun was still a little worried that they would take revenge on Shen Fanghui. After all, this was just a family matter of their family, and he didn't want to implicate Shen Fanghui who had not yet been married.
Therefore, Zhu Zanxun just took the initiative and said, "You don't need to worry about Mrs. Zhu. As long as Zhu Yuewu is around, she will never say anything. But now that we know that Zhu Yuewu killed the third uncle. We You can continue to search along this line, and I don’t believe that he can do it perfectly, without any flaws.”
Facing Zhu Zanxun's words, Shen Fanghui nodded cooperatively, and then she took the initiative to ask Zhu Zanxun, "Then what do you need me to do?"
Faced with Shen Fanghui's thoughtfulness, Zhu Zanxun shook his head, but he also knew Shen Fanghui's temperament, so he only added, "It's not necessary for the time being. I will take the initiative to come to you when needed."
of. "
Seeing that Zhu Zanxun had said this, Shen Fanghui naturally had no choice but to give up.
In the middle of July, when summer is short, cicadas were chirping crazily on the tops of the willow trees. The scorching sun made people dizzy.
But today the door of the Zhu family was open, and the ladies in the inner house only went to the front hall to wait.
I don’t know how long this group of people waited, but then a cry suddenly came from not far away, "The master is back! The master is back."
Hearing this, the female family members who had already been unable to withstand the scorching heat and started to stagger around now stood up again one by one.
They were so happy that they all looked at the front door with longing eyes.
In response to their expectations, a group of middle-aged men riding tall horses and wearing gray silk shirts soon arrived at the door of Zhu's mansion, surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing an azure cloud brocade shirt.
They stopped in front of the Zhu Mansion in high spirits.
Soon the young men at the entrance of Zhu's Mansion also cooperated and walked over. At the moment, some were holding horses for the master, and some were leaning over to act as stepping stools for the master.
The master didn't feel any discomfort among the group of people. He just stepped firmly on the servant's back, and then he dismounted without looking.
And the person he stepped on didn't seem to be a person, but just an object.
After stepping down from the person, he strode towards Zhu's Mansion with rapid strides. Seeing this, the other followers in gray clothes naturally followed behind the master.
Compared with their high spirits, the man behind them who was dragged behind the carriage by a man whose hands were fished with a hemp rope was a very miserable existence.
The man was wearing tattered clothes, and his whole body was even more disgraceful. There was no good skin anywhere on his body.
