Chunlan raised her head with tears on her face and looked at Shen Tianshu confused, wondering what her so-called good news would be.
Mingyu stepped forward to help the person up, pulled out the handkerchief and wiped away Chunlan's tears and said, "Don't cry yet. The girl has been thinking about you and has always wanted to help you reunite with your parents. Now it's finally possible." One way to do this is to listen carefully to what the girl is telling you."
Chunlan wiped away her tears and was held down by Mingyu to sit on the embroidered pier.
Seeing that she stopped crying, Shen Tianshu said, "You don't know yet, but Xu Yihao is dead. He died on the woman's belly on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Chunlan never expected that the good news Shen Tianshu said would be such shocking news.
She opened her mouth wide and looked up at Shen Tianshu, as if to confirm whether she was lying to herself.
"Although it seems inappropriate to describe this matter as good news, I think this should indeed be good news for you."
Chunlan shed two more tears involuntarily, covered her mouth and choked, "It's good news, great news."
"And because Xu Yihao died on the woman's belly, you should have known what would happen to the maids he took back. So your act of jumping out of the car to escape was really brave and very brave. correct."
"Thank you, eldest lady. If I hadn't met the eldest lady, I wouldn't have been able to escape from the clutches of the prodigal son even if I jumped out of the car."
"You said before that you felt that if you went back, you would embarrass your parents and brothers, so you didn't want to go home. Now that Xu Yihao is dead, have you changed your mind?"
Shen Tianshu finally brought the topic back on track.
Chunlan was a little hesitant. When her mother brought her in and went to work with Shen Zhonglei, she actually had the idea of raising her status so that she could talk to a good family in the future.
A maid who has worked in an official's house will naturally have a different level when she is released to serve as a servant.
But now, not only was he broken by Xu Yihao, but he would also make the Xu family dissatisfied if he showed up.
Even if my mother can talk to her now, who can guarantee that she can continue like this?
As the saying goes, a person is not as good as a thousand days, and a flower is not as beautiful as a hundred days.
If I just stay anonymous like this, then I and my brothers can still live peacefully even if they are no longer favored.
But if I go back, once I fall out of favor with the old lady, or if the old lady goes away, will it be easy for Mrs. Xu, as the mother of the second house owner, to clean up her house?
Chunlan's expression changed, and her eyes were complicated and tangled. After a long time, she slowly told Shen Tianshu her considerations.
Shen Tianshu didn't expect that Chunlan, as a maid, could think about all these things in such a long-term and comprehensive way.
"Then what if I say that my ultimate goal is to overthrow the Xu family?"
"Girl..." Mingyu was startled by Shen Tianshu's bold words and quickly stood up to see if there was anyone outside the door and window.
Chunlan didn't show too much surprise. Instead, her eyes looked at Shen Tianshu with a bit of eagerness to try, competing with the tangled expression.
In the end, I was still eager to occupy the top.
"I wonder what the girl wants from this slave?"
"I heard that you can write?" Shen Tianshu took out a few pages from his arms and handed them to Chunlan and said, "This is the loophole in last year's account book. You copy it and take it back to your hometown to find your mother first. Then say you have no intention." I discovered something fishy in the ledger.
"In order to prevent you from revealing the news, Madam deliberately asked Xu Yihao to break your body and sent you to the Xu family. Fortunately, she jumped out of the car and ran away, found a place to recuperate, and then returned to her hometown. .
"As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. Your mother knows the old lady better. She knows when and how to disclose this matter to the old lady is more appropriate.
"When the time comes, you will have passed the clear path in front of the old lady, and you can legitimately stay with your parents in your hometown."
Chunlan took the paper handed over by Shen Tianshu and didn't rush to open it. She hesitated and asked, "Can this bring down my husband...Xu?"
"Of course this is not enough, but this is enough for the old lady to come to Yongzhou Mansion." Shen Tianshu said, "I will make my own arrangements for the rest, so you don't have to worry."
Seeing that Chunlan still looked confused, Shen Tianshu stood up and prepared to go home. Before leaving, he said, "I won't force you to do this. You have to think about it yourself before doing it."
Chunlan crumpled the paper in her hand. When she came to her senses, she found that no one was in the room. She hurriedly turned around and chased out: "Miss, if... I mean, if this thing fails, I hope you can give me some help from my family. I really can’t bear to have my parents be implicated by their children at such an old age..."
"Don't worry, I will never treat anyone who helps me badly."
Chunlan finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I will leave for my hometown tonight."
"You go back and clean up. Don't be afraid on the way. I will send someone to escort you secretly."
"Thank you, big girl."
On the way home, Mingyu couldn't help but said: "Girl, do you really want the old lady to come over? I heard from Grandma Yang that the old lady is not an easy person to get along with. We will be chased away by the wolf by then. , and another tiger comes in."
Shen Tianshu was amused by Mingyu's metaphor, and he lay on the pillow and enjoyed himself for a long time.
Although Mingyu didn't get an answer, seeing the girl rarely smile so happily, he felt it was worth it.
Of course Shen Tianshu knew that Mrs. Shen was difficult to deal with, but if he wanted to bring down the Xu family, he had to hire someone with a higher rank to take charge.
As for how to send off the invited Buddha...
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will be a solution when the time comes.
…
In Wuchang Mansion, Li Zian looked through the secret folders on the table and found one that was presented by Xie Yan. He immediately took it out and looked through it.
After seeing the contents inside, he immediately called out: "Xie Bai."
A man dressed as a secret guard came in following the sound, clasped his fists and saluted, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Shen Zhonglei was slandered by someone behind his back. Take someone to investigate and find out what happened. Then send a message to the secret guards in Yongzhou Mansion and ask them to pay attention during the Flower Festival, so as not to worry about praying. What happened during the ceremony?"
Hearing this, Xie Bai said: "As far as I can tell you, Mr. Fan has already handled these secret letters, and they are just submitted to the prince for review as a matter of routine."
Li Zian was stunned when he heard this, and he flipped back and found that there was indeed Fan Yuru's comments on the back page, and how to deal with them was also arranged properly.
He took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little irritable. He threw away the book and said, "I understand, go down."
"Yes!" Xie Bai turned around and left. As soon as he reached the door, he was suddenly stopped again.
"From now on, all the discounts sent by Xie Yan will be sent directly to me!"
