Chapter 20 Because Now It Is Legitimate
Shen Qing chuckled softly, "I always have to leave Yanglinghou Mansion. If Lin Xuefu is no longer here, wouldn't it be too easy for the Mu family?"
Chanyi was a little doubtful, "Miss, aren't you afraid that Aunt Lin will become the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and the Mu family will get what they want, and the house will be harmonious and safe?"
When the Mu family treated Shen Qing like this, Chanyi didn't want to see everyone in Yanglinghou Mansion having a good life.
She felt that the Mu family, a bunch of wolf-hearted people, should not have a happy life.
Shen Qing said firmly, "No, you still underestimate Lin Xuefu's ambition. Such a person will not be satisfied. She will only ask for more and more, and the Yangling Marquis Mansion will also be under her control." If things get mixed up, there will never be peace.”
If Lin Xuefu was really patient enough, she would not have caused such a mess before, and she would not suddenly wake up after seeing the true face of the Mu family.
Speaking of which, Lin Xuefu indirectly helped her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly smiled, "I will send two ginseng plants to Lin Xuefu later, and then tell the doctor to take a pulse every half month, which will definitely stabilize her pregnancy."
Chanyi was even more confused, "My wife and the third young master came together to ask for supplements before, but the lady didn't even have the slightest intention of letting go. How come she changed her mind after walking around Fuyun Pavilion?"
Shen Qing looked carefree, "Of course it's because only I can control my things. Let alone Lin and Mu Ziqian, even if Marquis Yangling comes in person, don't take it from me as long as I don't want to." Pry away a tael of silver."
Chanyi agreed and found that her young lady's temperament was becoming more and more unpredictable, but it was good, at least she wouldn't be wronged like before. As for whether everyone in Yanglinghou Mansion would feel wronged, that's not the case. It's none of her business.
"By the way, there's Miss Fourth. You can also pick out some clothes and jewelry and send them over later."
Shen Qing had a hunch that Aunt Qiu might give her a big surprise.
Everyone in the house said that Aunt Liang and Aunt Qiu both had a law-abiding nature, which was why they were able to stay in the Marquis Mansion for so many years. However, Shen Qing did not think so. They could survive in a den of tigers and wolves like Yangling Marquis Mansion and still successfully give birth to and raise children. How could grown-ups be just ordinary people? They probably held a lot of interesting things in their hands.
…
After returning to Tinglan Courtyard, Chanyi started to deal with Lin Xuefu and Mu Lingxi, while Shen Qing leisurely checked the previous ledgers.
I hadn't noticed it before, but upon closer inspection I realized that just one year before she got married, Mrs. Yanglinghou had removed three thousand taels of silver from her account.
If she guessed correctly, the three thousand taels of silver were most likely obtained from the profits of the eight shops owned by the Hou 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 Lingyi to briefly investigate the natal family of Mrs. Yanglinghou.
Mrs. Yanglinghou's maiden family, the Lin family, was originally the county magistrate of Fuguang County, a hundred miles south of Shengjing City. However, after Yanglinghou officially inherited the title, the tide rose. First, she was promoted from the eighth-grade county magistrate to the seventh-grade county magistrate. Later, he was promoted to head of the household department, moved his family to Beijing, built a mansion, and maintained servants. Everything cost a lot of money. The Lin family's annual salary of several hundred taels was naturally not enough. At that time, the Lin family's foundation was small. Therefore, Madam Yanglinghou naturally contributed a lot.
Unknowingly, the sky was getting dark.
The door suddenly opened from the outside. Shen Qing thought it was Chanyi who had come back, so she said without raising her head, "Have you sent everything?"
However, a moment passed without any response.
Shen Qing looked up in confusion and saw Lu Yan walking towards her, holding a teapot in his hand.
Shen Qing was surprised and asked, "Why did you leave this time?"
Lu Yan gave Shen Qing some tea and then responded, "Because now it's justified."
His voice was light and comfortable, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Shen Qing glanced at him, "Then if we divorce in the future, how will you stay?"
Lu Yan didn't even think about it, "Then I'll go out openly during the day."
Shen Qing: "..."
After putting the teapot back, Lu Yan walked up behind Shen Qing and squeezed her shoulders gently, "Have you been reading the account books all afternoon?"
Shen Qing narrowed his eyes comfortably, "No, I taught Lin and Mu Ziqian a lesson first, then went to Lin Xuefu's place for a walk, and I didn't look until I came back."
Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "Then you're quite busy."
Shen Qing continued, "Isn't it true that you are dealing with your mother-in-law and husband, and you are also beating up your concubine's house? How can you not be busy?"
After finishing speaking, Shen Qing clearly felt that the strength on her shoulders had increased slightly. Just when she was about to ask Lu Yan what was wrong, she saw Lu Yan's face continued to enlarge, and a dangerous aura slowly gathered in his eyes, "Who do you call your husband?" ?”
Shen Qing paused and said politely, "Where does this husband come from? I wish I could become a widow today."
Lu Yan was so relieved that he couldn't lower the raised corners of his mouth.
Shen Qing rolled his eyes at him imperceptibly, and then said, "What are you 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's family background was extraordinary, 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 tonight?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "At night? Aren't you squeezing your sweetheart's shoulders?"
Shen Qing: "..."
After two years of not seeing each other, this man has become more and more deviant.
Just then, 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.
When she was 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.
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 like this?"
