Chapter 136: Letter from the Old Man (Part 1)
"What's wrong?"
Ling Fang immediately saw Zhong Niang's strange appearance, seeing that the envelope she was holding in her hand was not as exquisite and gorgeous as the invitation next to her, and it looked like it was just an ordinary letter, she was also slightly surprised in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to take it over to take a look.
Zhong Niang suddenly hid it behind her, her eyes widened slightly, and only after she was done did she realize that she had no silver three hundred taels here, and pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "It's just an ordinary invitation, and the slave just looked at it and thought that it was mixed in with the letter next to it, and he didn't worry about it." ”
Chen Ge looked at her for a while, and said calmly: "Zhong Niang, take it out." ”
This lame lie, not to mention that she can't deceive Ling Fang, even she can't deceive her.
Although Zhong Niang was in a hurry, she clearly saw that there was not a word written on the envelope of the letter, and Zhong Niang pulled out the letter paper inside a little before it suddenly changed color.
This shows that it is very likely that she knew the person who wrote the letter.
And Zhong Niang knows, and she is so afraid of the people who will be known by the people of Yanhou Mansion......
Chen Ge frowned slightly, and he already had a guess in his heart.
"Husband...... Madame......"
Zhong Niang muttered, still refusing to take out the letter.
However, seeing that the lady's face was calm and her eyes were slightly cold, she had already guessed who wrote this letter.
Seeing Steward Ling frowning at her again, he also knew that he had already become suspicious, so he could only take a deep breath and take out the crumpled letter with a trembling voice.
"Steward Ling, my wife absolutely doesn't know about this letter! Since the last time my wife was taken away, the three of us have never heard of Shen Sanlang, and we don't know how Shen Sanlang used to get such a letter into these prayers! If...... If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get in touch with my wife at all, why would he use such a sneaky method! ”
As soon as Ling Fang heard Shen Sanlang's name, his face sank, and he was about to take the letter suddenly, but suddenly he thought of something, took his hand back, took a step back and bowed respectfully to Chen Ge.
"The Lord does not like to socialize on fair days, and the servants in the house have little experience in receiving prayer posts, and may have put all the invitations sent to them in one place without a detailed examination, so that the bad people can take advantage of the situation.
Please forgive your sins, Madame. ”
Chen Ge glanced at him with some surprise.
After returning from Changzhou this time, Ling Fang's attitude towards her seems to have changed a lot.
I still remember that before, this kid was the one who didn't give her a good look, and now although she doesn't have a good face, her words and deeds obviously regard her as a serious housewife.
She withdrew her gaze to look at Ling Fang, and with a slight cold eye, she picked up the plain white and wordless envelope on the table, and pulled out the letter inside.
When she heard that Shen Yuchen had escaped, she knew that he would not give up taking her away.
At that time, although she and Wei Yuan were husband and wife, they were actually strangers.
Later, after returning to Jizhou, they have been sleeping in separate rooms, and rarely appear in front of people together.
It's not that she doesn't know what is being passed around among the people, it's nothing more than that she is not favored, she is a titular Mrs. Yanhou, Wei Hou is not close to women as always, and even because she has been taken captive, she secretly hates her in her heart, and she is even more disgusted and disgusted with her as a lady.
But she had the intention of leaving at that time, and she really didn't care.
It wasn't until the way to Changzhou that the relationship between her and Wei Yuan gradually became clear, but they were busy resisting the smallpox epidemic along the way, and the people mostly rumored how she and Wei Yuan had the power to restrain the smallpox epidemic.
is concerned, the topic in the city has long been filled with shocking news that the smallpox epidemic has finally had a way to restrain itself, and few people will pay attention to whether the relationship between her and Wei Yuan is really deep.
So much so that in the eyes of most people, although she assisted Wei Yuan and made eternal contributions, she still had no feelings for Wei Yuan.
What's more, Wei Yuan really didn't care about her before, as long as someone wants to check these things, they can easily find out.
After reading the content of the letter, Chen Ge had a headache even more.
Sure enough, just like she thought, Shen Yuchen didn't give up, not only did he not give up, but he still looked at her with the same mood as the original owner.
The handwriting on the letter was somewhat sloppy, apparently written when the man was in a frustrated and painful mood, and the letter was not long, only a few lines:
Yang Yang Qingqi,
I am well now, Siqing is very strong, and when I am stable, I will help Qing to break away from Yanhou and reunite with Qing.
Shen Lang
Chen Ge and Zhong Niang behind her also saw the content of the letter at the same time, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
Zhong Niang just took out a little letter paper, and vaguely saw the word "Yangyang" and knew that it was not good, and after reading the whole letter, she felt even more bad.
Again and again, this Shen Saburo is deliberately ruining their wife's reputation!
Madame's life in Yanhou Mansion has finally gotten better, what if the prince misunderstands!
Lan Yi has seen the attitude of the prince towards his wife with his own eyes these days, and his mood is naturally different from Zhong Niang's, so he couldn't help but scold.
"This Shen Saburo is too much! He doesn't know that our wife is already married? If he is really good for his wife, he shouldn't always intervene sideways, as if his wife is guilty of being by the side of the prince!
He has repeatedly fallen into injustice in disregard of his wife's wishes, so he has not thought about his wife's feelings? ”
Seeing that Ling Fang's expression was getting darker and darker, Zhong Niang was so frightened that she pinched the little girl beside her fiercely, and said in a low voice: "You give me a few words!" ”
Lan Yi grinned in pain and glanced at Zhong Niang sadly.
Zhong Niang doesn't understand, where can the relationship between Mrs. and Junhou be shaken by a mere letter!
Chen Ge ignored the small movements of the two of them, glanced at Ling Fang, who had been standing aside in an orderly manner, put the letter on a few sides, and said, "If Manager Ling wants to see it, just look at it, there have been such loopholes in Yanhou Mansion many times, and some problems should be taken seriously." ”
Seeing Chen Ge casually letting Ling Fang look at it, Lan Yi and Zhong Niang's faces changed slightly.
Although Lan Yi is confident that his wife and the prince will not be shaken by this letter, the content of the letter involves the private affairs of his wife, and it is Yang Yang and Shen Lang's, and it looks like the affectionate name between lovers.
However, seeing that Madame's face was as usual and her eyes were clear, the hesitation and uneasiness in Lan Yi's heart immediately dissipated.
That's right, Steward Ling knew that this letter was sent by Shen Sanlang, and he couldn't guess what would be written in it, rather than hiding it to arouse suspicion, it was better to be generous and open-minded.
Ling Fang was slightly stunned, then he made a move, stepped forward and unfolded the letter and took a quick look, a face suddenly seemed to be covered with ink, so black that it could drip ink at any time, and scolded fiercely: "Vertical Zier dare!" ”
Then he turned to Chen Ge and made a deep gesture: "Madam, this matter is the negligence of the subordinate steward, and I am willing to be punished by my wife." ”
Chen Ge looked at him and said with a smile: "This time, don't you suspect that I secretly colluded with Shen Sanlang?" ”
