NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 20 Because now it is legitimate
Shen Qing chuckled, "I will eventually leave Yangling Marquis Mansion. If Lin Xuefu is gone, wouldn't it be too easy for the Mu family?"
Chan Yi was a little skeptical, "Miss, aren't you afraid that Aunt Lin will become the mistress of the Marquis Mansion, and the Mu family will get what they want, and the mansion will be harmonious and safe?"
The Mu family treated Shen Qing like this, and Chan Yi didn't want to see the people in Yangling Marquis Mansion have a good life.
She felt that the ruthless people in the Mu family should not have a peaceful life.
Shen Qing said firmly, "No, you still underestimated Lin Xuefu's ambition. Such a person will never be satisfied. She will only ask for more and more. Yangling Marquis Mansion will never be at peace under her interference."
If Lin Xuefu was really patient, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble before, and she wouldn't have suddenly woken up because she saw the true face of the Mu family.
Speaking of which, Lin Xuefu indirectly helped her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly smiled, "Send two ginsengs to Lin Xuefu later, and tell the palace doctor to check her pulse every half a month, so as to stabilize her pregnancy."
Chan Yi was even more confused, "Before, when Madam and the Third Young Master came to ask for supplements together, the young lady didn't have the slightest intention of giving in. How come she changed her mind after a visit to Fuyun Pavilion?"
Shen Qing looked wanton, "Of course it's because my things are only mine, and only I can control them. Not to mention that Lin and Mu Ziqian came, even if Yangling Hou came in person, as long as I don't want to, don't think of prying a tael of silver from me."
Chan Yi agreed, and found that her young lady's temperament was becoming more and more unpredictable, but it was good this way, at least she wouldn't be wronged like before, as for whether the people in Yangling Hou's mansion would feel wronged, that was none of her business.
"By the way, there's also the fourth young lady, you should pick some clothes and jewelry to send over later."
Shen Qing had a hunch that Aunt Qiu might be able to give her a big surprise.
Everyone in the mansion said that Madam Liang and Madam Qiu were both law-abiding people, so they could live safely in the mansion for so many years. However, Shen Qing did not think so. How could they be ordinary people who could survive in the Yangling Marquis's mansion and successfully give birth to and raise their children? They must have a lot of interesting things in their hands.
…
After returning to Tinglan Courtyard, Chan Yi started to deal with Lin Xuefu and Mu Lingxi's affairs, while Shen Qing leisurely checked the previous account books.
She had not noticed it before, but after a closer look, she found out that the wife of Yangling Marquis had moved three thousand taels of silver from the account in the year before she got married.
If she guessed correctly, the three thousand taels of silver were most likely taken from the profits of the eight shops under the name of the Marquis's mansion.
As for why Shen Qing guessed that she subsidized her natal family instead of taking it for herself, it was because Shen Qing had asked Ling Yi to do a simple investigation of the natal family of the Yangling Marquis's wife before.
The Lin family of Yangling Hou's wife was originally only the county magistrate of Fuguang County, a hundred miles south of Shengjing City. However, after Yangling Hou officially inherited the title, her status rose with the tide. She was first promoted from the eighth-rank county magistrate to the seventh-rank county magistrate, and then promoted to the head of the Ministry of Revenue. She moved her family to Beijing, built a mansion, and raised servants. Each of these costs a lot of money. The annual salary of several hundred taels of the Lin family was naturally not enough. At that time, the Lin family had a shallow foundation, so Yangling Hou's wife naturally contributed a lot.
Unknowingly, the sky had gradually darkened.
The door was suddenly opened from the outside. Shen Qing thought it was Chan Yi who came back, and said without raising her head, "Have you sent the things?"
However, after a moment, there was no response.
Shen Qing raised her head in confusion, and saw Lu Yan walking towards her with a teapot in his hand.
Shen Qing was surprised, "Why did you leave this time?"
Lu Yan poured Shen Qing some tea, and then responded, "Because now it's legitimate."
The voice was light and comfortable, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Shen Qing glanced at him, "What if I divorce you in the future?"
Lu Yan didn't even think about it, "Then I will leave openly in the daytime."
Shen Qing: "..."
Putting the teapot back, Lu Yan walked behind Shen Qing and gently massaged her shoulders, "Have you been reading the account book for the whole afternoon?"
Shen Qing squinted comfortably, "No, I first taught Lin and Mu Ziqian a lesson, and then went to Lin Xuefu's place for a walk, and then I came back to look at it."
Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Then you are quite busy."
Shen Qing continued, "That's right, dealing with the mother-in-law and husband, and punishing the concubines, how can you not be busy?"
After saying that, Shen Qing clearly felt the force on his shoulders slightly increased. Just when he was about to ask Lu Yan what was wrong, he saw Lu Yan's face getting bigger and bigger, and a dangerous aura slowly gathered in his eyes, "Who do you call husband?"
Shen Qing paused, and said very politely, "Where is the husband? I wish I could be a widow today."
Lu Yan was very pleased, and the corners of his mouth that were raised could not be suppressed.
Shen Qing rolled his eyes at him imperceptibly, and then said, "What have you been doing in Shengjing these days?"
Shen Qing didn't know much about Lu Yan's identity. When he was in Yuncheng, Shen Qing only knew that Lu Yan had an extraordinary family background, and he didn't know anything more specific.
Lu Yan thought about it carefully, "In the morning, I will study how to deal with my love rival, and in the afternoon, I will think about when to inherit the family business."
Shen Qing subconsciously asked, "What about in the evening?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "In the evening? Aren't you massaging your sweetheart's shoulders?"
Shen Qing: "..."
After not seeing him for two years, this man has become more and more indecent.
At this moment, Chan Yi's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, is dinner coming?"
Shen Qing glanced at the man behind him, "Have you had dinner?"
Lu Yan shook his head very honestly.
A smile appeared on Shen Qing's lips, and he called Chan Yi in.
Chan Yi pushed the door open and saw her young lady leaning leisurely on the couch, with Lu Yan behind her massaging her shoulders very hard.
Chan Yi was stunned on the spot, and then quickly closed the door, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yan smiled, "Long time no see, Chan Yi."
Chan Yi couldn't laugh, and took a few steps forward to look at Shen Qing's face, and said earnestly, "Mr. Lu is here, why didn't Miss call me to come and watch? If someone sees it, Miss will be in trouble."
Looking at Chan Yi's anxious face, Lu Yan comforted her, "It's okay, Li Ze is outside."
Hearing that Li Ze was watching, Chan Yi felt relieved.
"Master Lu hasn't had his meal yet, I'll go get two dinners."
Shen Qing nodded, and Chan Yi turned around and went out.
At the door, Chan Yi looked around, but didn't see Li Ze, so she hurried out of the yard.
Lize, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Chan Yi looking around, couldn't help but chuckle, and then disappeared into silence again.
It was a quarter of an hour later when Chan Yi came back. In order to give Lu Yan enough time to hide, Chan Yi deliberately waited a little longer after knocking on the door. After Shen Qing responded for a while, she pushed the door open with three maids.
Lize, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but sigh, "Nowadays, when masters talk about love, do they waste their subordinates so much?"
