Chapter 689 · Braving the rain

Mrs. Tang put on some clothes and was sitting on the Arhat bed, lost in thought. When she saw the two of them, she said in surprise, "You came back in the rain? You were in such a hurry, but what happened?"

Manager Yan didn't even bother to salute, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Old madam, Brother Rong...maybe he is not of the Tang family's blood at all!"

Mrs. Tang's eyes darkened. Although she had already guessed in her mind, there was no proof after all. After listening to Manager Yan's words, she asked seriously, "How do you say this?"

Manager Yan wiped the raindrops from his forehead and said, "We found out in Ningbo that Mrs. Xiang had a dark pregnancy before she met the eldest master. The child was the man named Luo Xiuchun who eloped with her. Later.

Xiangshi used a trick to seduce the elder, but the elder fell into a pit of beauties, and then he confused her

Although Xiangshi did this secretly, there is no airtight wall in the world, and there are many people in Ningbo who know about it. This time we not only invited back the doctor who had diagnosed Xiangshi's pulse, but also from Xiangshi

The pair of servant girls who came out of the house, and an unexpected person also came with them..."

Mrs. Tang asked, "Who is it?"

"The third wife of the prime minister's family," said Yan Guanshi, "after hearing the price we offered, she agreed without saying a word, and happily made me think there was something fishy in it. Later, after asking around, I found out that it turned out that

The Xiang family has now been divided into families, and the third master of the Xiang family is divided into two families.

I have the least income, and I’m not the type to do business. Life is tight, and I’m so short of money that I’m almost broke. Besides, there’s always been discord within the Xiang family, and Mrs. Xiang San also looks down on the Xiang family. I heard that she could help her by saying a few words.

I got the money, and it seemed so beautiful that I immediately agreed."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "That's a good relationship. She is Xiang's sister-in-law. I'm afraid her words are easier to believe than others."

Aunt Li brought a clean towel and asked Manager Yan and Wu Jie to wipe the rain off their heads before talking.

Manager Yan wiped the pavement casually and said, "Everyone who came back with us was placed in the courtyard of the Dong family in the suburbs. The person who looked after the courtyard heard that I was from the Tang family and invited us in very politely.

.I specifically told him a few words

, let them keep a watch on me no matter what, and don't let them go out and walk around freely. Although Xiangshi can't go out, the wet nurse next to her is also willing to give in. If she finds out, I'm afraid

He will also alert others."

Wu Jie stood behind Yan Guanshi and looked at his back in shock.

Is this still the old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life in his eyes?

Wu Jie finally understood why Mrs. Tang would leave such an important matter to Yan Guanshi. Along the way, he followed Yan Guanshi and indeed learned a lot. This cannot be done with words and deeds.

To convey it, one must experience it personally.

After hearing what Yan Guanshi said, Mrs. Tang sneered and said, "The wet nurse next to Mr. Xiang is indeed a capable person. In the future, we will have to pry open her mouth to help us speak. Otherwise, with Chongzhou's temperament,

I’m afraid I still may not believe it.”

Yan Guanshi said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to handle. The nanny is closely following Xiangshi. It's really not easy to touch her. If you are not careful, Xiangshi will notice it."

Mrs. Tang reminded, "Human beings will have weaknesses. As long as you grasp the weaknesses, you won't be afraid that she won't cooperate and speak. By the way, I remember that Xiang's wet nurse has two sons. At the moment, she is in the eldest room of Quzhou.

Is he the shopkeeper in the shop?"

Yan Guanshi immediately understood, "It seems there is such a thing. I will go find out about it early tomorrow morning."

"No need." Mrs. Tang said, "You are old and not in good health. This journey has been bumpy and hard. Please take a good rest for two days. I still have important things to do for you later. Don't give me anything at that time.

I'm in trouble. I'll leave the matter of Xiang's wet nurse and the two sons to Wu Jie, can you handle it?"

The last sentence was asked to Wu Jie.

Wu Jie immediately said, "As long as the old lady can be trusted, I will naturally have no problem."

Mrs. Tang liked his young self-confidence very much and said with a smile, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you. It's up to you to figure out how to get these two people to Hangzhou in the future."

Let’s do it.”

Wu Jie was slightly startled, he did not expect such an arrangement, but he immediately said confidently, "Don't worry, if there is anything you don't understand, I will discuss it with Manager Yan."

Mrs. Tang nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry about Manager Yan's age. He has encountered a lot of ups and downs in his life. If you humbly learn some skills from him, it will serve you well in the future."

Manager Yan told Mrs. Tang in detail what happened in Ningbo. It was not until the rain outside gradually subsided that Mrs. Tang asked them to go back and rest quickly.

The next day Wu Jie went out early in the morning to inquire about Xiang's wet nurse's two sons, Quzhou.

Although Bai Rongxuan didn't know what happened, she vaguely felt that it must be related to Aunt Xiang. Now that Xiang's belly was getting bigger day by day, the eldest and second bedrooms were calm... Bai Rongxuan felt uneasy, there was a kind of wind and rain.

A sense of urgency to come.

She couldn't help but be a little distracted, and she wasn't as focused as before in class.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xueli came to the door early the next morning.

Bai Rongxuan was a little surprised. When she saw her, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Tang Xueli looked at her and smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, it's nothing. I just miss you, so I came here to have a look."

But Bai Rongxuan still saw a hint of bitterness in her smile.

She said calmly, "We have also missed you and have wanted to visit you for a long time. We were afraid of disturbing Auntie Xiang's pregnancy."

Tang Xueru came over and asked, "How many months has it been since Auntie Xiang, when will the baby be born? Uncle, I must be very happy to have a baby."

Tang Xueli obviously didn't want to talk about Aunt Xiang, so she said tactfully, "My father has to worry about these things. How can I, an unmarried daughter, have any room to talk?"

Bai Rongxuan could understand her position and said with a smile, "What have you been doing at home recently?"

In addition to taking care of the housework, Tang Xueli spends most of her time embroidering in her room, "I made some sachets for you to wear during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Bai Rongxuan and Tang Xueru agreed in unison and allowed her to eat at home.

Tang Xueli did not refuse this time and agreed generously. When Huang found out, he quickly ordered the people in Houzao to make water shield soup.

Tang Xueli said with a smile, "My aunt loves me so much. She knows that I like this bite, so she always asks people to cook it for me every time she comes here."

After dinner, when Tang Xueli said goodbye, Mrs. Tang said to her, "After all, you are not married yet. When Xiangshi gives birth, you can come and stay here for a few days to avoid conflicts between the little girl's family."

When the time comes, you will live with Rongxuan so that you sisters can talk to each other. If your father asks, just say it was me who said it. If he is not willing, just come and talk to me."

Tang Xueli knew that Mrs. Tang felt sorry for her and came to her rescue. She was extremely grateful and thanked Mrs. Tang again and again.

However, Mrs. Huang knew that when Mrs. Xiang gave birth, Mrs. Tang took action to deal with her. The old man did this because she was afraid that Tang Xueli would know all this in front of her, which would make her lose face, and she would not be able to come to the second room as a guest again in the future.

Whenever she thinks about revealing Xiang's true face in the future, she feels frightened and makes her whole body feel uncomfortable.
