C5 Han's Methods

Although Shen Tianxin was silently cursing, she still turned around and smiled at Faang Xinsu, "Cousin has not been here for so many years. There are many things that have changed in this house." Look at that lotus flower pond over there. It was dug just a few years ago. Let's go over and take a look first before we pay our respects to the madame. " He then gave a few glances to the maidservants beside him.

Faang Xinsu had some doubts in her heart. Why did her cousin not bring her out to pay her respects first and instead start strolling around the garden? However, she had no choice but to do as the host asked. Thinking about the servant girl from before and then thinking about the identity of the old lady from the Ning Hui Yuan School, Faang Xinsu had an idea. It seemed that this loyal Marquis Mansion would not be peaceful even if it was divided into families.

Therefore, the girls all went to the Lotus Pond, Qingliu quietly fell behind, turned around and entered the Congee Courtyard. Shen Tian's servant, Mo Xiang, had gone to the outer court and had to stop a few young masters.

When Qingliu walked to the main hall of the Congee Courtyard, she saw a group of girls and women gathered around the door, afraid to even breathe. Seeing her, a little girl beside Mrs. Shen hurried forward to say a few words to her.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhou's rebuke came from inside the room.

Qingliu lightly stroked her dress as she lifted the curtain herself to enter the room. The old lady's maidservant wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Entering the room, Qingliu bowed, "Greetings to the madame and mistress. "In reply to Madam's words, an urgent letter came from the manor in Changzhou saying that the Third Master … he …"

Upon seeing Qingliu walk in, the madame was delighted. She had flown and cut off Lady Shen's arm. Hearing her talk about the third master, the old mistress stood up abruptly. "What's wrong, third brother?" Hurry up and say it! "

Qingliu replied, "The manager of the manor said that the third master's illness is acting up again, and it seems that he is not feeling well. The doctor he invited is just making preparations." Mrs. Han glanced at her. How come she didn't know about this? If this girl was making it up, then her acting would be too similar. No matter how he thought about it, the play had to go on.

"What did you say?" Is that true? " Mrs. Zhou couldn't sit still anymore when she heard this. "What kind of doctor is there in the countryside? This person must be a quack doctor. "Hurry, hurry up and take this post to the Imperial Physician Guild."

However, no one moved even after she spoke for half a day. Mrs. Zhou could not help but get angry, "Did no one hear what I just said? Hurry and get the imperial physician. "

Finally, her serving maid, Pearl, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Old madam, you are not a titled and cannot invite an imperial physician. "Only the marquis and his wife can get the imperial physician to do that in our house." These words made Mrs. Zhou's heart tighten. She was the old marquis' stepwife, even though it was written into the family tree, the old marquis had also requested for her to seal the titled a few times back then.

After Shen Mingchang inherits from the Marquis, it is even more impossible to get his stepmother to seal his titled. In the marquis' house that came and went, the ladies all had titled s, so there were very few like her. Due to her seniority, everyone only showed respect and did not agree with her at all. Hence, Mrs. Zhou could only bounce around inside the Loyal Marquis Mansion. After leaving the main gate, not many people paid attention to her.

Since Shen Mingchang wasn't in the capital, the only person who could call the imperial physician in was Mrs. Marquis, Mrs. Han.

No matter how reluctant Mrs. Zhou was, it was all because of her only son. She had no choice but to lower her head. Why aren't you going back to your own room? An aunt, she comes out all day to wander around, and when she goes back, she's forbidden to come out for half a month. "

Mrs. Bai didn't expect the old lady to turn around and sell her. She didn't even have time to resist before she was dragged down by a few stout women.

Qingliu took advantage of the chaos to come to Mrs. Han's side. Mrs. Han asked in a low voice, "What happened to Third Master?" Qingliu replied in a low voice, "That's how the manager came to cry and complain. He said that the third master was in trouble and wanted to pay him some silver before asking the good doctor in the capital to take a look."

Mrs. Han sneered. They had already been separated for so many years and yet they still came to the Marquis Mansion to ask for money. They truly did not know shame. However, anything that could be solved with money was not a big deal. Mrs. Han sent someone to get a letter while she hurried over to the Imperial Physician Courtyard to ask for an Imperial Physician. On the other side, a maid was also assigned to pack up some good herbs and tonics so that a good piece could be sent to the third master.

Seeing Mrs. Han's actions, Mrs. Zhou also remembered what she had done and hurriedly packed up a big bag of things. She wasn't too sure about the others and personally went to look for the maidservants to pack up a lot of top quality medicinal herbs, including the bird's nest, Lingzhi, and other tonics.

Shen Cang couldn't help but plead for his birth mother. He even secretly winked at Qingliu, but she didn't even look at him. Mrs. Han glanced at him and then asked Qingliu, "Have you paid the bill that was sent over from the restaurants this morning?"

Qingliu replied, "In reply to Madam, Eldest Young Master's bill was overspent this month, so he did not settle the bill."

Mrs. Han gently turned the bracelet on her wrist. Brother Cang, the mansion has its own rules, and you are the eldest son of our family, so it would not be good for you to lead the group in violating those rules. "

Hearing this, Shen Cang panicked. Was he going to break his money? He kneeled in front of Mrs. Han. "Aunt's words are rude, so it's good for you to rest in the yard for a few days. "Please be merciful and help your son."

Mrs. Han then smiled in satisfaction, "That's more like it. You are a man, a master. You can't spend all day with a servant. Look at you, child, what are you doing kneeling? The ground is cold, quickly get up. "Naturally, the manor's rules cannot be changed so easily. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess if your brothers learned from each other?

Seeing Shen Cang scratching his head in anxiety, Mrs. Han changed the topic, "However, it's still possible for me to help you with this job." Qingliu, take some silver from my private room and settle the bill of the Eldest Young Master. "Take out another hundred silver taels and give it to Eldest Young Master to have him spend some more." Even though he said it amiably, he looked down on Shen Cang in his heart: something without a backbone, yet he didn't even care about his own mother, it was a waste for Aunt Bai to treat him as her lifeblood.

When Shen Cang heard that Mother not only paid all of his debts, but also gave him an extra 100 taels of silver, he immediately became extremely excited and kept on flattering Mrs. Han. There was no dowry for the madame. The two of them lived off the monthly rules in the public school, and the madame had spilled some between her fingers. However, the madame had never been this generous. He only got ten taels of silver a month and Mother gave him a hundred taels all of a sudden. With this money, he could go to the Fragrant Storey to have some fun for a few days.

Seeing him acting so frivolously, Mrs. Han could not help but feel a sense of disgust from the bottom of her heart. Qingliu, who was standing to the side, watched the show that was about to begin, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Being Mrs. Marquis was truly tiring, and she didn't think that there was anything wrong with Mrs. Han's scheming. If he didn't have the snack bar, he might not even be able to survive in this mansion. Even someone as smart as Mrs. Marquis, didn't she have a son?

At this moment, the young maid reported from outside that Cousin and the others had already entered the courtyard.

Mrs. Han gave Qingliu a meaningful look. Qingliu went to the inner room to help Mrs. Zhou, who was rummaging through her boxes. Mrs. Zhou happened to have packed up most of her things. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that her makeup was indeed luxurious. She then walked out and sat in the seat of honor.

Shen Tian and a few other girls escorted Faang Xinsu over. They were waiting at the door. When they saw them, they quickly went up to the curtain and said, "Cousin is here. Old lady has been talking for a long time."
