With Mrs. Shen's words, Shen Zhonglei actually went to the side room to take a look at Hanqiao, and came back not long after and said, "Let mother worry about it."
"Second brother, it's not a big deal that you two have been like this!" Old Mrs. Shen said, "I originally wanted to ask Hanqiao to ask her what she meant. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my aunt. , you have been married for so many years, only Ping Niang is the only one, and now it is not easy to raise another one.
"Unexpectedly, this Hanqiao just came back from outside. He must have been overheated. Suddenly he felt retching and uncomfortable. I thought it was... then I hurriedly called for a doctor."
Only then did Shen Zhonglei know that Mrs. Shen suddenly asked a doctor because she mistakenly thought she was pregnant by chance, and she made a big mistake.
Mrs. Shen sighed as she spoke, looked at Shen Zhonglei and said, "Mom, I know you are focused on official duties and don't want to spend time on things like the back house, but it is a fact that there are only a few heirs in the family, so you should be more attentive. yes!"
"It's all because the son is unfilial and didn't deal with these matters, leaving the mother to worry about it." Shen Zhonglei said, "Actually, the son has long wanted to make this matter clear, so as not to have to do it secretly every time. Hanqiao kept saying I have already felt sorry for Yurou, and I refuse to make it public even if I say anything."
Shen Zhonglei was sincerely worried about this matter, and even somewhat appreciated Hanqiao's attitude.
Mrs. Shen listened to her son's words with a smile, but in her heart she just wanted to roll her eyes.
If you really felt sorry for Mrs. Xu, would you still keep secretly getting along with Shen Zhonglei?
Only men who feel good about themselves will believe this kind of argument about being a bitch and still building a memorial.
"Hanqiao is a thoughtful person." Mrs. Shen said insincerely, "It's better to do this. I have nothing to do when I'm free every day. If you can trust me, leave this matter to me and keep it safe for you. How about bringing Hanqiao into the house smoothly?"
Shen Zhonglei was overjoyed when he heard this. In fact, he had kept it secret and not made it public, not just because of the clever remarks.
Firstly, he didn't want Xu to make trouble over this matter, and secondly, the feeling of being sneaky was very exciting.
But it will definitely not be a problem if it lasts for a long time. Paper cannot contain the fire, and sooner or later the secret will be revealed.
Now that Mrs. Shen is willing to take matters into her own hands, with her ability, she will definitely be able to handle it properly, and Shen Zhonglei is naturally eager to do so.
"Then my son won't be polite to you." Shen Zhonglei said with a smile.
"You child, why are you so polite to your mother?" Mrs. Shen also smiled lovingly, "It would be good to have more people to serve you. Besides, if she can let my mother have more grandchildren, Mom still wants to record her merits!"
Shen Zhonglei left happily, and Mrs. Shen finally stopped the smile on her face.
"How's it going over there Hanqiao?"
Chunlan hurriedly said: "If you tell me back to the old lady, everything will be fine."
"Then ask her to come over. Do you want me to go to the bedside to see her?"
Hanqiao was brought over quickly.
While resting in the wing, Hanqiao thought a lot.
Shen Zhonglei went over to see her, which made her finally make up her mind.
So as soon as she entered the room, she knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Shen and said, "Hanqiao listens to the old lady, and I hope the old lady will do it!"
Mrs. Shen nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, she still knew the importance.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly afterwards." Old Mrs. Shen adjusted her sitting position and said, "Then first tell me, what kind of business does your wife do outside on weekdays? How much usury money has been let go, secretly going to her parents' house? How much money did you give?..."
Hanqiao didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would ask such a question as soon as she came up, and she was sweating.
But since she decided to surrender, she had to show her sincerity.
"Madam's daily business outside is generally divided into three parts. The first is to lend usury money to the people in the city who are in urgent need of money. The interest is calculated on a monthly basis. If the money is not paid, the houses and fields will be used to pay off the debt.
"The second is to place people in the casino and lend money directly to gamblers who are addicted to gambling. This kind of interest is calculated on a daily basis and the interest is compounded. It doubles in a few days. This kind of debt can be repaid. There are so many things, including land and property, wives, children, and even myself..."
When Hanqiao said this, he was afraid that Mrs. Shen wouldn't understand, so he explained specifically: "Some people really can't pay off their debts, but they can also help their wives do things to pay off their debts. Depending on what they do, the amount of money they can pay off is different... "
"Is it possible that she still dares to use these gamblers to commit murder and swindle goods?" Old Mrs. Shen's face became darker as she listened.
Hanqiao quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, how dare you do such a thing, just ask them to help collect debts or something."
"What about the third type?" Old Mrs. Shen asked, narrowing her eyes.
"The third type is to help people connect people and earn some rewards from it..."
"What kind of string to pull, what kind of bridge to build?" Old Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied, "You said the first two items carefully, why do you want to be vague here?"
"The main thing is this, it involves all aspects, the slave is stupid and can't explain clearly in a few words..."
"Are you stupid? How can you make your master look like a fool with your stupid mouth?" Old Mrs. Shen suddenly raised her face, "Why don't you tell me in detail!"
Hanqiao had no choice but to say: "Actually, I just help others contact some business, or establish some connections..."
The words were still unclear, but Mrs. Shen already understood what she meant.
Xu is a housewife. What skills and connections does she have to help others connect?
To put it bluntly, it's not just using Shen Zhonglei's identity as a pretense.
The people sent out also found out some of the first two things, so Mrs. Shen was somewhat prepared.
But this last incident really made her angry.
Could it be that the son she had worked so hard to give birth to, raise, and become a talented person was just for her to use and make money outside?
Mrs. Shen's hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Old lady, don't be angry. You won't deserve it if you are so angry." Chunlan quickly picked up the tea bowl and brought it to Mrs. Shen's mouth. She fed her two sips of tea to help her calm down. "If you are sick with anger, , it hurts in the hearts of the master and us, but others may not know what they think!"
Chunlan's words were obviously talking about Mrs. Xu. She was so surprised that she kept looking at her from the corner of her eyes, wondering how she could be so bold.
If Chunlan hated Hanqiao, it was because she hated her for betraying her trust.
Then her hatred for the Xu family does not need a reason.
Chunlan knew better than Hanqiao that Mrs. Shen had already decided to give up on the Xu family. Now she only needed more evidence and charges.
If we don’t hurry up and add insult to injury at this time, when will we wait?
