Chapter 190: Cousin, my mother agrees, let’s go choose a hill!
Wei Zhendong became a scapegoat. He tried his best to please his wife. His wife was pregnant and her belly was very big. She was also angry here. How could he not coax her?
He finally got his two daughters and his future son-in-law to sing the same tune and the three of them managed to coax his wife to stop crying.
Qin Beiyu tried to smooth things over: "County Lady, no matter how you look at this matter, it's all Beiyu's fault. I was accidentally poisoned, which led to my uncle coming to Shunjing Prefecture."
Shen Shi still knew the etiquette. She wiped her tears and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but it's really my Ruyi who has never left me since she was a child. This time she came to Shunjing Mansion by herself. I knew there was danger here and I was worried about her day and night...
"Has the poison in the prince been completely cured? Is there anything else that is causing you discomfort?"
Qin Beiyu said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, the ginseng detoxification potion that Ruyi brought has already cured the poison of Xifengzui that I was infected with. I am fine now.
Recently, Ruyi has been of great help here again. Not only did she help find the huge amount of grain left by the former prefect Wang Dapeng, she also found some silver. My father was very happy because Ruyi is a blessed person, so with her here, it was very easy for us to find things.
And Ruyi came here to save people, she really wasn't here for fun. Please don't blame her and her uncle anymore, County Lady. This incident was caused because I was poisoned and had no other choice but to let Ruyi come here.
I guess my uncle kept it from you because he was worried that you might worry about Ruyi again because you were not feeling well. It was indeed wrong of my uncle to do this, but it was understandable."
Shen nodded and said, "That's right, Prince, as long as your poison is cured, everything will be fine. Just complete the task here.
Your uncle really shouldn't have kept it from me this time. If he had told me the truth, I would have agreed to let Ruyi come, but I would have asked her eldest brother to send someone to protect her.
How could she be allowed to follow Chen, the shopkeeper of Guangji Dental Clinic? Ruyi is so bold! "
Shen Ruyi's lips twitched. Her uncle Guangji had taken everything on for her!
"Mom, don't be angry, I also followed Uncle Guangji's team secretly. Uncle Guangji didn't bring me here intentionally, really!
Mother, let me tell you something interesting!"
Shen said angrily: "You just want to change the subject. You are such a bad girl. You are such a bad boy. You even ran away secretly. How can your mother feel at ease?
Your uncle Guangji is so bold, he should at least inform our family!"
The corners of Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched: "Oh, mother, please stop talking!
If I tell my mother about that, I think she will be interested too!
Please listen to me. I don't want to change the subject. My uncle Guangji is a very nice person. He has helped our family with a lot of work over the years.
At the beginning, I knew that he was going to bring people from the dental practice to work in the shop in Shunjing City, so I secretly followed his team. He only saw me when we arrived in Shunjing. It was really not him who brought me here on his own initiative!
Later he helped us transport a lot of things. Mom and Dad, it really wasn’t my Uncle Guangji who brought me here on his own initiative!
Mother, I rescued Madam Cao and her daughter in Shunjing City. They were divorced and bullied by a scumbag, so I took Madam Cao and her daughter in. I planned to let Madam Cao stay while I managed Ruyi Clothing Shop in Shunjing City.
But mother, I found out that my uncle Guangji has taken a fancy to Madam Cao!"
Shen's eyes widened: "What? Your uncle Guangji is optimistic about Madam Cao, how is that possible?
If your uncle Guangji wanted to remarry, he would have done so long ago. How could he possibly remarry now?"
Wei Zhendong said angrily: "That sissy just likes to take care of a girl... I won't say anything more!"
Seeing his wife looking at him, Wei Zhendong stopped talking.
Shen Ruyi thought to herself: My uncle Guangji has been waiting for you to be kicked out of the Duke's Mansion, and wants to save you from the dire straits!
Alas! Mother is too innocent. She must have been protected too well by me and my father!
"Hahahaha...hahahaha...Mom, let me tell you, this is fate, my Uncle Guangji is really moved, I'm not lying to you!
Let me tell you a joke. My uncle Guangji is very nice to Madam Cao. He buys cakes and candies for her children and helps her coax the children!
What's even more ridiculous is that he asked Madam Cao how old she was, and Madam Cao said she was 24. Do you know how old my uncle Guangji said he was? You can all guess!"
Shen frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Your uncle Guangji is probably over 40, right?"
Wei Zhendong said sarcastically: "That sissy is already fifty, right? He still wants to get married at such an old age, how shameless..."
Seeing his wife giving him a sidelong glance, he stopped talking awkwardly.
Shen Ruyi couldn't help but grin, "Hehehe... my uncle Guangji told Madam Cao that he is 32 years old this year!"
Phew…hahahaha…hahahaha…
Wei Zhendong laughed so unkindly that even Wei Dazhuang and Wei Chuang who were outside the door couldn't help but burst into laughter!
Shen couldn't hold back her laughter either. She couldn't keep her serious expression any longer and smiled at her daughter and said, "Hahaha, is that so?
Shopkeeper Chen is so funny. How can he look like he is 32? He must be at least 42!
When we first arrived at Jun'an County, Manager Chen said that he was in his thirties.
We have been out for eight or nine years, how could he still be 32 years old? "
Wei Zhendong sneered: "That old guy must be trying to trick Madam Cao because she is young and beautiful!
If he said that he was 42 years old, 18 years older than Madam Cao, and could be her father, wouldn't he scare her away?
He is an old cow who still wants to eat young grass. This old man is shameless... No! No! That's not what I mean. I just said that Chen Guangji is shameless. How can he marry such a young wife at his age? "
Shen glared at her husband and said unhappily, "My husband, don't say that about Shopkeeper Chen. He's a nice guy and he's gentle and refined. If he really married these helpless mother and daughter, it would be a good thing!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Well! I told Uncle Guangji today that I hope he can marry both Madam Cao and her daughter.
If that is the case, Madam Cao can have a child while she is still young. Even if Uncle Guangji leaves Madam Cao first, at least he can leave his children behind to accompany her, right?
Uncle Guangji is extremely wealthy, and supporting Madam Cao and her daughter is just like playing with her, right? "
Shen nodded: "That's true. Manager Chen has been pure and simple all these years, always thinking about making money, but what is he trying to achieve in the end?
The children have grown up and left him, and he has become a lonely man. Ruyi, tell Shopkeeper Chen tomorrow. If he is embarrassed to bring it up, then mother will go and find a match for him!"
Wei Zhendong smiled and said, "Oh, let your husband handle this matter for the county lady. You can go and act as a matchmaker for her. Madam Cao is young and beautiful, and you recognize her... No! That young lady looks pitiful. I just feel sorry for her... Hehe..."
Shen stared at her husband with unfriendly eyes. He actually said that Madam Cao was young and beautiful?
Wei Zhendong couldn't help laughing in his heart. His wife was jealous!
That old guy Chen Guangji is finally going to get married. It’s great that he doesn’t have to worry about his wife all day long!
Shen Ruyi found the atmosphere interesting and said, "Mother, my cousin and I will go to the imperial kitchen to see what we have for lunch today. I will ask them to make you something you like.
You came all the way here, you must not have had a good meal these past two days, right?"
Seeing her little girl caring about her, Shen said happily, "I can eat anything, don't bother the imperial chef, okay?"
Shen Ruyi and Qin Beiyu left the main room. She breathed a long sigh of relief and could still hear her mother and father talking in the room.
My mother told my father not to say anything about Madam Cao being pretty anymore, and not to say bad things about Chen Guangji behind his back!
Qin Beiyu smiled and said, "It's okay, just let uncle coax his wife. By the way, Ruyi, my cousin is going out of the city this afternoon. Don't you want to go to the top of the mountain? I'll take you there to see it."
"Okay! I'll tell mom about it when we eat later!"
At lunch time, Wei Zhendong took Shen, who looked very pregnant, to the courtyard of Crown Prince Qin Jinan and had the imperial meal together!
After dinner, Shen Ruyi and her father helped her mother back to the backyard of the main courtyard. Shen Ruyi talked to her mother for a while and then came out.
When she ran to the gate and saw Qin Beiyu waiting at the door, Shen Ruyi grinned: "Cousin, mother agreed to let me go with you to see the mountain!"
