After the steward saw off the Taoist priest, Shen Wan was ready to return to Qinglan Garden. However, just when she was about to retire, Shen Jing spoke and told Shen Du, "Go and tell King Ling that Wan'er will get married on the eighteenth next month. "

Shen Wan, "..."

Do you still need to tell me?

This date may have been decided by others!

Shen Wan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Dad, I don't want to get married so early..."

Looking at her daughter's shy face, Shen Jing felt very sad in her heart, "You are going to get married after all. Daddy won't miss such a good time just to keep you for another month or two. The Marquis's Palace and Prince Ling's Palace will also leave." Yuan, just let Prince Ling accompany you back more often."

Shen Jing has made up her mind. Shen Wan knows that it is difficult to persuade, but she is still struggling, "Time is already in a hurry, and the second aunt has to copy Buddhist scriptures. She will definitely not have time to prepare a dowry for me..."

Shen Jing calculated it and found that the time was indeed a little tight, but it was not delayed because the second wife was busy copying Buddhist scriptures, and there were more than two wives in the Hou Mansion who could take care of things. Shen Jing left the matter of preparing a dowry for Shen Wan to the fourth wife. The wife is in charge.

The second wife was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. If she stole the chicken but lost the rice, she would just shoot herself in the foot. Now even the right to prepare a dowry for Shen Yuan has been transferred to the fourth wife. She has no intention of listening to the Taoist priest. No matter what Buddhist scriptures she copied, everyone agreed that she had to copy them.

But even if the second wife was not going to copy Buddhist scriptures, she couldn't tell her that it was she who proposed to invite the Taoist priest into the house, and she also sent someone to invite him. She didn't believe it even though it didn't cost much, but she didn't invite him for fun. of.

The old lady's eyes coldly glanced at the second wife's face, and she turned around and went back to the house. The second wife felt aggrieved and angry, and she had to smile and said to the fourth wife, "This should be my business, I can only trouble the fourth sister-in-law." .”

It has become her second wife's business to prepare a dowry for her. She has been in charge of the middle class for a few years. She really thinks that the Pingyang Marquis Mansion belongs to her. Shen Wan said, "It's dad and I who are troublesome to the fourth aunt, not the second aunt."

The second wife's face froze for a moment, then she smiled again and said, "Second Aunt has a gift in her hand. It is her duty to prepare a dowry for you."

Shen Wan also smiled, looked at Shen Jing and said, "The second aunt manages the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion properly, so my father has always let the second aunt take care of the affairs. However, it is our eldest son's responsibility to manage the Hou Mansion. The second aunt should still focus on the second room." , copying hundreds of Buddhist scriptures every day, he will definitely not be able to take care of the trivial matters in the house. If he is distracted by the affairs of the house, he will not be able to eliminate the disaster, and the disaster will affect his second uncle, second brother and second sister. My father will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life. Daughter Seeing as the second aunt is copying Buddhist scriptures these days, I’d better let the third aunt help manage the prince’s mansion.”

After hearing that Shen Wan asked Shen Jing to temporarily hand over the housekeeping rights to the third wife for a few days, the second wife's expression immediately changed. Although she only asked the third wife to take charge of the house for seven days, once she gets involved with power, she won't want to let it go.

It was not like the third wife had never thought about being a housekeeper before, but she suppressed her secretly. The old lady was also worried that the third and second bedrooms would get into trouble because of the power of running the house. The third wife was not allowed to have this idea, but who could be allowed to do so? Shen Jing has the final say on the matter of housekeeping. The old lady has returned to the house now, and she can't stop her even if she is here. It makes no sense that the second wife has no time to take care of it and does not let the third wife help.

Shen Jing nodded, "Wan'er is still thoughtful. In the past few days, she has been troublesome for her three younger siblings."

I don't dare to say it's troublesome, this is something I just want.

The third wife kept saying, "I also hope to contribute to the Hou Mansion."

The matter was settled like that. Shen Jing still had something to do, so he turned around and left after making arrangements.

The third wife got the power of housekeeping and was smiling all over her face, while the second wife had a gloomy look on her face and her hands under Yun's sleeves were clenched tightly.

In the previous life, the second and third bedrooms were twisted together, the brothers were united, and the sisters-in-law were in harmony. In this life, Shen Wan didn't believe that she couldn't sow discord between the second and third bedrooms. She didn't believe that the third wife would not like the stewardship, and the second wife would allow the third wife to share a share. soup.

After coming out of Qinghui Courtyard, Shen Wan kept a smile on her face. Yinshuang looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then asked in a low voice, "Will the old lady and the second lady copy the house rules?"

A few articles will definitely be copied, but a hundred articles, this is absolutely impossible.

But whether you copy or not, the torture will not be less.

To copy hundreds of Buddhist scriptures, for an elderly lady, she would have to copy from dawn to dark, and she might not be able to finish the copying. She had never suffered like this in most of her life.

But if you don't copy it, something will happen to your second wife in the future. Just as the Taoist priest said when he left, evil thoughts will be counterattacked. Will the old lady regret that she didn't listen to the Taoist priest and didn't copy the Buddhist scriptures?

Torture the body and torture the mind. If you escape this, you can't escape that.

As for the second wife, after Shen Wan left, she went into the house to see the old lady. The old lady scolded her severely, "Is this the good Taoist priest you are looking for?!"

The second wife was mute and couldn't tell how hard it was to eat Coptis chinensis. She didn't dare to refute when she was scolded, so she returned to the south courtyard full of evil anger.

After drinking two cups of tea, she still couldn't get rid of her anger. The maid quickly walked in, and the second wife asked, "What's going on with the Taoist priest?!"

The maid held a purse in her hand and carefully placed it on the table.

The second wife recognized at a glance that it was the money the maid had paid to bribe the Taoist priest.

The maid said in a trembling voice, "The Taoist priest said that he was a conscientious Taoist priest, and he did not dare to earn money that was too unconscionable. He gave the money back and gave it to..."

"What?!" the second wife gritted her teeth.

The maid shrank her neck and said, "The Taoist said what he said is true, so you can take care of yourself."

The second wife was so angry that she even wanted to kill someone.

Looking at the livid face of the second wife, the maid felt timid in her heart. She could earn a hundred taels just by saying a few words, but the Taoist priest didn't want it. It was obvious that he was an outsider who regarded money as dirt. He said that what he said was all Really, wouldn't it mean that the second wife is in bad luck and the second wife is about to suffer a bloody disaster?

Thinking of this, the maid shuddered and did not dare to think further.

Shen Wan hadn't gone out for a few days. When he returned to Qinglan Courtyard, he passed by the garden and stopped to admire the flowers for a while before going back.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Ziyu and Zhou's mother standing in the corridor. They didn't know what they were talking about. Seeing Shen Yuan go back, Ziyu came up to her and said, "The girl is back. The Taoist priest said in Qinghui Court that the girl has been here these days. The reason why I was in low spirits was because I ate something by mistake. The slave girl and Zhou’s mother checked the girl’s food and found nothing abnormal. They suspected that someone had tampered with the girl’s food and harmed the girl. Qinglan Garden can’t tolerate such people who harbor evil intentions. No, we have to search the house and find this person out."

Ziyu's face was filled with indignation, and Yinshuang was stunned.

She poisoned the girl and was exposed by the Taoist priest. She turned her tail between her legs without a guilty conscience. She also suggested that the girl search the house. Did she think that her suggestion would prevent the girl from suspecting her?
