Mrs. Cui is not tall, with a pointed chin, drooping eyebrows, and hanging eyes, although she is smiling heartily, her expression is difficult to hide her fierce attitude.

Shen Lingxi has also heard of this second lady of the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Cui's father was originally a general under the command of the old Xuanping Marquis, but later died on the battlefield and gave his only daughter to the Shen family.

The ancestor took Mrs. Cui to her side and raised her personally for three years, and then made the decision to marry her to the second master, Shen Liang.

One is the second son of his in-laws, and the other is a daughter-in-law who was personally raised.

It is conceivable that the second room received preferential treatment in front of the ancestors.

After the death of the old Xuanping Hou, the Hou Mansion was originally handed over to Shen Lingxi's biological mother, Da'an.

But later, Da'an's fell ill and died, and the ancestor handed over the feed to Cui's for a few years.

Later, Xiao An's entered the door as a step-room, and was not treated by the ancestors, although she was given some power, but the treasury and accounting were still firmly in the hands of the ancestors and the Cui family.

This is also why, Mrs. An never came forward by herself in trouble, and secretly pushed Shen Ji forward.

is because although she, Mrs. Hou, has the right to be a housekeeper, her pockets are empty, and in fact she is far from being as beautiful as she looks on the surface.

At this moment, Mrs. Cui opened her mouth, and Mrs. An didn't dare to let the ancestor wait, so she hurriedly welcomed the two sisters, Shen Lingxi and Shen Yuyao, in.

Mu Huai'an should have said goodbye and left, but he was worried that Shen Lingxi would be treated poorly again, "Grandmother heard that the grandmother of the Shen family was sick, and asked me to say goodbye to her old man." He followed.

Songzhu Courtyard is the courtyard of the ancestors of the Shen family.

As soon as Shen Lingxi entered the courtyard, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which filled the courtyard.

She is sensitive to smells, and she can vaguely distinguish that they are all life-threatening decoctions such as ginseng and aconite.

I heard that the ancestor was not in good health, but I didn't know that it was like this.

It's no wonder that Second Master Shen would be so painful to kill the killer and commit a murder, thinking that he should have a plan.

I just don't know what he's trying to do.

What is the significance of that embroidered handkerchief in this Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

There were many maids and servants standing in the courtyard, and they all came out to meet them.

There was also the ghost of the magpie, which had not been seen for a few days, standing under the porch, looking at her with a smile.

"The ancestor is really interested in you, and let the An family and the Cui family go out to meet you in person, but it's a pity that her body is already at the end of the crossbow, and when she returns to the west, how can there be a place for you in this Hou Mansion, I advise you to pick up your tail and be a man, if you toss it again, it will only be bad for you, not good." Magpie scoffed.

Shen Lingxi finally calmed down for a few days, and when he met her again, he looked at the sky speechlessly.

I finally understand why the ancestor named her "Magpie", it is really noisy, and she will not be gone when she dies.

As she entered, she silently moved a few steps to the right, trying to stay away from the magpie's spirit.

And this kind of action unconsciously made her closer to Mu Huai'an.

Mrs. Wang was sick and crooked on the couch, and saw a pair of talented and beautiful women, who walked in from the door as if snuggling.

The look of sluggishness for days finally lifted a little bit of spirit.

Everyone stepped forward to see the salute, and Mrs. Wang asked Shen Lingxi to step forward, took her hand cordially, and took a closer look, with tears in her eyes, "Your eyes are most similar to Yueqing, Yueqing is a kind-hearted person, and so are you." Grandmother heard about the things you did to people outside, and it was good, and she was proud of you. Shen Fugui taught you very well, and when I went to see him in the underworld, my grandmother would like to thank him well. ”

Shen Fugui is the name of Shen Lingxi's late Ah Weng.

"Does the old ancestor know Ah Weng?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.

"Know, how can you not know." The old ancestor patted her hand, thinking of the past, there was a little embarrassment on his face, "If it weren't for the fact that he was bent on leaving with A-Ying back then, maybe there would be a place for him in this Great Zhou's honors, and he would make people, but I didn't expect him to pick you up." I didn't expect the two of them to leave before me......"

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that Ah Weng, who was giggling all day long, was not serious, and only knew how to urge marriage, still had such a background, and he only felt incredible.

Seeing that the old ancestor had a sad look on his face, he said with relief, "Ah Weng is free and easy by nature, and when he left, he also told me not to be sad for him, saying that if I miss him, I will go to the grave and invite him to eat and drink." The cemetery was personally selected by him, by the mountains and rivers, and he also planted an apricot tree next to the grave, and when you are better, I will take you to see him. ”

"He and A-Ying like the apricot tree the most." Old Madam Wang laughed, "I also asked people to plant one in your yard, do you like it?" ”

Only then did Shen Lingxi understand that the exquisite and quiet meditation courtyard was arranged by the ancestors, and his heart warmed, and he felt a little closer to Mrs. Wang, "Thank you grandmother, my granddaughter likes it very much." ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes were very relieved, and then she turned her head to greet Mu Huai'an, who was sitting on the side.

Mu Huai'an saw that Mrs. Wang was sincere to Shen Lingxi, and her expression was much more relaxed, he was handsome, cheerful and polite, and he was very favored by the ancestors.

The more Mrs. Wang looked at Mu Huaian and Shen Lingxi, the more she felt that the two of them were very compatible, and the more determined she was to make the two of them a pair.

On the other hand, Shen Yuyao, who has been tossing in Wangxian Village for so long, can be regarded as "returning with honor", not only did she not get half a word of praise from her ancestors, but she was even left aside lukewarmly.

Shen Yuyao clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and there was gradually a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

Not only her, but even Mrs. An is very uncomfortable in her heart.

After Mu Huai'an said goodbye, Mrs. An and Shen Yuyao also found an excuse to leave, but Shen Lingxi and the second lady Cui were left behind by Mrs. Wang.

After talking for a long time, Mrs. Wang's spirit was a little weak, and she no longer detoured, and said straight to the point: "I heard about the magpie, I am sick these days, and the housekeeper's power in the house occupies half of the big room and the second room, and the secret competition gives the magpie a chance." ”

She raised her eyes to look at Shen Lingxi, "Fifth girl, I heard that you helped that kid in Huai'an investigate the case, and you must be very familiar with the magpie's case." I can't last long with this body, before I die, the affairs in this house have to be divided and sorted out, are you willing to help me? ”

If it was an ordinary time, Shen Lingxi would definitely not accept this kind of hot potato.

What she wants to check, she doesn't need help from others, it's enough to have Liu Si, there is no need to be strong and be a target.

But Mrs. Wang and Ah Weng are obviously old acquaintances, and this is the situation again.

Shen Lingxi finally relented and nodded in response, "Grandmother wants me to help you?" ”

Old Madam Wang's expression was slightly relaxed, and she said categorically: "From today on, the keys and accounts of the treasury of the mansion will all be handed over to you, and your second aunt will assist me to check for me how many people have been moved in the house these days when I am sick, as long as you find out who is behind the ghost, you will send the official to it!" ”
