Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

0After hearing what Zhao Wenrui had said, Shen Jingli sighed endlessly, the person who came to look for trouble in front of him not long ago ended up like this in the blink of an eye, could it be that the so-called villains would be accepted by the heavens?     2

    

He kept silent, feeling that his throat was a little dry. He raised his cup of water to drink, and after half a day, he still did not manage to drink a single bit. As he was pondering, he suddenly heard Zhao Wenrui's laughter.    

    

"What are you drinking from an empty glass?" Zhao Wenrui saw that he was drinking water from an empty cup, and even though he did not realise it after a long time, he started to laugh.    

    

Shen Jingli's face became red from embarrassment. He laughed dryly and quickly got Jin Yu to fill a pot of hot water again.    

    

Seeing him act that way, Zhao Wenrui retracted his gaze, extended his hand, and flicked his forehead, "What are you thinking about? You think it's not worth it for Ceng Wan'er? "    

    

Zhao Wenrui raised his eyebrows, his gaze fixated on Shen Jingli's face, not sparing even a single detail of his expression.    

    

Shen Jingli shook his head. How is that possible? Although he would not take advantage of Ceng Wan'er when he was down, he did not pity her so much that he wanted to sympathize with her.    

    

"I just feel that Big Brother will be so hard to do." Before this incident had occurred, Dehui County Lord, Mu Ke, and Ceng Wan'er had been causing a ruckus all day. Now that this incident had occurred, the Ceng Family would definitely come knocking on their door to demand an explanation. With Dehui County Lord's personality, it would not even cause the world to turn upside down.    

    

"That's true." Zhao Wenrui nodded in approval. He had experienced the feeling of being stuck between a few people and it was difficult to reconcile. In his heart, he sympathized with Mu Yu.    

    

Jin Yu brought hot water over and when he heard that they were talking about it, she interjected, "I heard that Madam Ceng brought two Daughter-in-law s over to cause a ruckus, and even had a huge argument with them."    

    

She poured a cup of water for Shen Jingli and when she saw Shen Jingli raise his head to look at her, his gaze carried probing and observation, she laughed embarrassedly and explained: "They are making trouble at the door, standing at the entrance of our residence, you can hear them clearly."    

    

With Madam Zeng's voice, everyone within miles of her could hear her. Jin Yu laughed sarcastically.    

    

"You have good hearing." Shen Jingli glanced at her with a smile that was not really a smile.    

    

Jin Yu laughed awkwardly. Okay, she did indeed go out to ask around, but the main thing was that their movements were too big.    

    

"However, they did cause quite a ruckus." Zhao Wenrui said. "I heard that no matter how hard County Owner and the Marquis asked, Mu Yu and Ceng Wan'er never mentioned what happened. Ceng Wan'er was even more dispirited, and searched for death everyday."    

    

Her home was right next to Shen Jingli's County Prince's Mansion, which was closer to it. Mrs Xu was worried that she would be affected by the residual flames, so she personally came to pick Shen Jingli up and bring him back to the Xu Residence to wait for his delivery. As a result, he learnt a lot about Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion from Mrs Xu.    

    

After ending this topic, the two talked for a while about managing the shop, and then Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin came over together.    

    

Xu Yanlin brought Zhao Wenrui home, while Mu Chen accompanied Shen Jingli to sit in the courtyard for a while.    

    

"Big brother went back?" Shen Jingli got Nian Hua to get a basin of warm water, and was wiping Mu Chen's face with a wet towel.    

    

Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, enjoying his wait of service.    

    

Seeing that he was extremely tired, Shen Jingli did not ask further and only stood behind him to help him massage his shoulders.    

    

Mu Chen was probably really tired. Under Shen Jingli's massage, he relaxed his body and fell asleep.    

    

— —    

    

The matter of Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion continued to stir up trouble, but it did not affect the life of County Prince's Mansion at all. Because the shops under his name had sent over the books from the first half of the year, Shen Jingli had become very busy as well. In addition to that, next month, if Mu Jing wanted to get married, he would also need to pass through the middle autumn.    

    

Very quickly, the tenth day of August arrived. It was the day of Mu Jing's wedding.    

    

Shen Jingli said that he was going to help out with Western Mu Mansion, but actually, he could not help out at all. Madam Qin had dealt with all the matters well, the eldest son had gotten married, Madam Qin placed more importance on marriage than anyone else.    

    

Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin accompanied Mu Jing to get married, and Shen Jingli wandered around the front courtyard to see if there was anything that he could help with.    

    

"You have a heavy body, so there's no need to be busy. Go to the madame's room and chat with her for a while." The Madam Qin saw Shen Jingli walking around the courtyard with his stomach puffed out. He was extremely anxious, so he quickly stepped forward and supported him, "Lovers, accompany the County Prince to the Old Mistress's room."    

    

She held Shen Jingli's hand and patted the back of his hand, "Good child, go. I will take care of the things here."    

    

Shen Jingli thought that he wouldn't be able to help much, so he followed the mandarin duck to the backyard.    

    

On the way to the backyard, he met Master Mu. He was busy explaining things to the servants.    

    

"You guys go to the cellar of the southern warehouse and bring a few jars of wine to the front yard. Also, ask the kitchen to prepare some soup to sober up the wine so that you can use it as soon as possible."    

    

After he finished giving orders, he rushed back to the front courtyard, just in time to see Shen Jingli.    

    

"It's Jinglee, it's been hard on you and Zi An today." After he had said this, he told the mandarin ducks to take good care of him and hurried to the front yard.    

    

There were too many things to do at the wedding, and the Madam Qin alone was not enough. Even if the Old Mistress made an exception to ask for Aunt Yu's help, she would still be unable to complete the task.    

    

If his second brother's wife was reliable, he should have asked her to come and help him. However, she was unreliable and was still at home in the temple. Without any reliable help, he had no choice but to do it himself.    

    

Shen Jingli looked at Mu Kui's busy back, and felt that getting married was truly tiring.    

    

"..."    

    

A lot of people also came to the courtyard of the Third Old Lady Mu. Most of them were the old madams that she was on good terms with, and some of them were the Old Lady Mu.    

    

When Old Lady, who was initially talking to the Duke's wife, saw Shen Jingli come in, his face immediately darkened. He said in a strange tone: "I wonder what kind of eyes your Daughter-in-law has?    

    

When she said that, the other old ladies who were laughing were stunned. Was this Old Lady retarded? Her nephew was getting married. In front of all the guests, she said that the new husband wasn't good. Just whose face was this?    

    

Sitting next to her was the Duke of Zhenguo's wife. She raised her eyes, quietly moved her position, and left Old Lady's side.    

    

Third Old Lady Mu's face was ugly, she stared at Old Lady Mu, her eyes filled with unconcealable rage.    

    

The Great Concubine De was drinking tea by the side of the Third Old Lady Mu. Upon hearing his words, he raised his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "Xiuhua, you must have been angered to the point of losing your mind by what happened in the manor. Why are you spouting nonsense?"    

    

Before she was married, she was a close friend of the Third Old Lady Mu. However, after meeting the Old Lady Mu through the Third Old Lady Mu, the three of them got to know each other very well and became close to each other. After that, the Old Concubine followed the Old De to the western feudal fiefdom and the three ended their relationship.    

    

Five years ago, when the Old De Wang had passed away, the Old Madame had only just returned back to the capital and contacted them again. However, because the Old Lady Mu was getting older and her temper was getting weirder, a barrier had formed between the two old madams and they did not interact closely.    

    

Madame De Wang glanced at Old Lady Mu, thinking that this old friend of hers was really one who was getting worse the more she worked.    

    

She turned her head and smiled at Shen Jingli, "Nanping County Prince, when you're sitting here, this old one has often heard the Third Madam mention you, and is extremely curious about you."    

    

Shen Jingli was overwhelmed by the favour and hesitated for a moment before sitting next to the Old Grand Concubine.    

    

"I heard that hot spring massage was something you thought of. That's really good, I have to go and live there for a few days every month to soak in the hot spring water and get people to massage my bones. It sure is a lot easier with these old bones."    

    

Shen Jingli laughed and replied, "It's just that junior likes to play, which is why I came up with this kind of inn."    

    

"A lost cause." Ever since he came to the capital, he had first been lectured by his son, and then it was her son who taught her a lesson, and then it was her grandson's miscarriage. She felt that the series of bad thoughts that had encountered was all because of Shen Jingli.    

    

Blue veins popped out of the old imperial concubine's forehead. She pulled out a sinister smile and glared at Old Lady Mu. The clear and cold baleful aura caused Old Lady Mu to be shocked and she quickly shut her mouth. She didn't even dare to take a deep breath.    

    

The Old Grand Concubine was able to hold the position of Duchess De, and was even respected by her sons and daughters. Her methods were not bad, and Old Lady Mu, who had a good relationship with her at such a young age, couldn't help but feel nervous when he knew that she was not to be trifled with.    

    

The Grand Concubine's expression changed as she looked back at Shen Jingli with a benevolent smile.    

    

"I've heard that you are very good at taking care of children. The children at home are never picky with food. How did you do that? My grandson has recently stopped drinking milk and refused to eat anything. In a month's time, he has lost several kilograms. "    

    

Upon hearing the Grand Concubine ask about the child, the old granny who had a great-grandson immediately surrounded him, asking him questions one after another.    

    

Shen Jingli did not feel impatient either, he maintained the proper smile on his face and answered their questions one by one.    

    

When the madams saw his meticulous reply, they had a better impression of him and felt that he was a good junior.    

    

Old Lady Mu was sitting opposite of them, drinking tea. Listening to their conversation, she raised his eyes and snorted disdainfully.    

    

Very quickly, the wedding procession returned. The newlyweds paid their respects in time, and Mu Chen accompanied Mu Jing to the front yard to toast. Shen Jingli and Mu Sihua stayed in the room to chat with Yang Ningyi.    

    

The Madam Qin was very considerate. Afraid that Yang Ningyi would starve if she waited too long, she ordered someone to send him porridge and small dishes.    

    

Shen Jingli left the wedding room, and because he was not feeling well, he returned to his residence. On the other hand, Mu Chen was busy until night before returning home.
