Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 289: Headache? Just say I'm not here

"Well, your mother has been to Xiangguo Temple for so many days and hasn't come back yet. You should deal with the things on hand, and go with your grandmother the day after tomorrow to pick up your mother!" The old lady actually didn't want to go at all, but her son was too embarrassed to do so. She sent many people to invite her, but they all returned empty-handed. She had no choice but to go in person. For the sake of her face as an old woman, she should calm down.

"Yes, grandma!" Yao Qingnian also felt that it was not a good idea for Chen Shuhua to hide like this. She would have to face it sooner or later. She might as well go and persuade her. It was not worth it to do it for such a scumbag. Besides, she did not find the source of the toxin in her yard in the past few days, so she was worried that it was caused by her personal belongings, so she nodded and agreed.

"Grandma, Youran wants to go too. I haven't seen mother for a few days and I miss her very much." Shen Youran acted coquettishly.

"Okay, You Ran is still filial. Let's go together." The old lady looked at her lovingly.

"Thank you, grandma. You're the best." Shen Youran lay in the old lady's arms and acted coquettishly. The warm scene between the grandparents and grandchildren made Yao Qingnian seem a little redundant. She did not stay any longer and left with Shan Wei.

After returning to his own courtyard, Yao Qingnian counted all of Chen Shuhua's dowry, and put all of it in the space except for the big items, such as the land deeds and other valuables. The people in the Shangshu Mansion were all thinking about it, and if he didn't hide it well, it could be stolen at any time.

The next day, the maidservant beside the old lady came over and said that the old lady's headache had recurred and asked the eldest lady to come over and see her.

Thinking of what the old lady did yesterday, Yao Qingnian felt very chilled and decided to teach her a lesson.

"Linglong, go tell them that I'm not here."

"Ah? But the old lady..." Linglong was worried. The young lady had just returned. If she offended the old lady, it would be even more difficult for her to stay in this mansion...

"Don't worry, just say what I say. If they ask me where I've been, just say I don't know."

"Okay, miss, I'll go tell them right away." Since the lady said so, Linglong didn't hesitate any more and went out directly to tell them what Yao Qingnian said.

Yao Qingnian took Shan Wei out of the house through the back door.

At this moment, Yao Qingnian was sitting in a teahouse with Shan Wei. In ancient times, teahouses were always the best place to get news and listen to the excitement.

Only after they sat down did they realize that the entire capital was discussing the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Yao Qingnian, as the protagonist, was listening with great interest.

"Do you know? Yesterday, a young lady suddenly appeared in the Shen family. She brought her maids to the shop to catch the Shangshu's mistress!"

"I heard that she is not a concubine. The Minister has clarified that she is the widow of a good friend."

"How dare you believe this? I was at the scene. Didn't you see the seductive look of that woman? She was dressed like the ones sold in brothels. The two of them were flirting with each other in public. If you say they have no relationship, I won't believe it even if you kill me."

"That's all true..."

Those discussions were all about what happened yesterday, most of them were scolding Shen Wenting, some were mixed with speculation and suspicion. Most of them were discussing Yao Qingnian.

"It's rumored in the capital that Miss Shen is Lord Shen's illegitimate daughter, and was brought back from the countryside."

"No way! I heard that this young lady is the real daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. She was sent away when she was a child because the abbot of the Prime Minister's Office said she was a disaster star. She was only brought back recently."

Who is the abbot of the Xiangguo Room? Because of his words, Shen Nianran was thrown into the countryside for more than ten years, and she was stranded in the remote Anding County. The culprit was this abbot. If Shen Nianran was a disaster star, then I was a lucky star, otherwise how could I not be blown to death and travel through time?

If it had any impact, she cursed the abbot to choke on the water and go blind so that he wouldn't come out to harm others. She cursed the abbot in her heart and continued to listen to them.

"What about Miss Youran in the mansion? She is beautiful and talented. Isn't this too unfair to her?"

"What's unfair about this? I heard she's an adopted daughter! She's a real daughter who's been living away from home for many years and has suffered so much. She's taking her place in the mansion. What's there to feel wronged about? If it were me, I should be secretly happy that I have a new sister and haven't been kicked out yet."

"I heard that the young lady came back from the countryside. She is illiterate, has vulgar manners, and is ugly."

Shan Wei was also listening and rolled his eyes. If Yao Qingnian was ugly, then there would be no good-looking people in the capital.

"What nonsense! I saw her yesterday. She was so beautiful."

"Just brag! She's just a country girl, how can she be pretty? At best, she can only match someone like me, haha!"

"With your ugly appearance, you think you can covet the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."

"What's wrong with my looks? She's an old girl in her twenties. It's good enough that someone is willing to marry her." The men talked more and more outrageous, but they were also afraid of saying something wrong, so they made a few jokes, shut up and didn't talk about it anymore.

"Come on, drink, drink!" The men laughed.

Suddenly, the man felt a headache, as if he was hit by something: "Who is it? Who attacked me?"

A handsome and elegant man walked in. He had a sullen face and was followed by a man dressed like a guard.

"You grown men are ashamed to discuss a girl's gossip in broad daylight." Xuanfeng said with his hands clasped over his chest, holding a sword in his hand.

"Who did you come from, you young brat, and how dare you meddle in my business..." Before the man could finish his words, the tornado's knife was placed on his neck.

The man immediately backed off: "Please spare my life, it's my fault for being so rude. I'm sorry, sorry."

"Isn't this General Jiang's apprentice? He's so handsome. Miss Jiang is so lucky." There were not only men in the teahouse, but also ladies drinking tea and eating snacks. When they saw Lu Huaijin's handsome appearance, they couldn't help but have hearts in their eyes.

"I heard that he has now been promoted to a lieutenant and is a favorite of the Emperor!"

"Really? That's a promising future. Although the position is not high, I heard that there are many people who flatter him. With the relationship with General Jiang's Mansion, it's not long before he becomes a general..."

"Tsk tsk, isn't this just living off the Jiang family?" someone who couldn't stand it said.

"You are just jealous of him. Captain Lu has made great contributions on the battlefield and got his position based on his own strength." People around were talking about it.

Lu Huaijin didn't care about the discussions of the people around him. He saw his wife who was watching with great interest and walked up to her.

"Miss, there are no seats left. Can we share a table?"

"As you wish." Yao Qingnian almost laughed out loud. They were old acquaintances, but he still pretended not to know them.

Some young ladies were jealous when they saw Lu Huaijin sitting next to Yao Qingnian. Where did this man come from? There were so many people in the teahouse, but he didn't go anywhere else. He chose this woman who looked like a foxy woman. They were so angry that their teeth were itching.
