  Shuang Rui gazed at Shen Mu Qing's expression, which had a hint of probing: "If rumors spread, Third Brother's reputation will also be tarnished. Some things, you must consider carefully."

  Shen Mu Qing was stunned. After a while, he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the one who came to persuade me would be Second Aunt!"

  Jiang Shuangrui's eyes were slightly red as he said, "I've been through it myself... don't follow in my footsteps from back then."

  Shen Mu Qing raised her head and looked up, with a face full of surprise.

  Jiang Shuangrui looked at her with a bitter smile: "You're an intelligent person. Some things, you'll know sooner or later, and I'm not afraid to lose face in front of you." She sighed long and said, "Your second brother has always been charming and elegant, and the wine house is his usual haunt. At that time, I was young, and every time I quarreled with him, back and forth, until this matter was spread out... He simply broke the jar and made a mess... In the end, it became true... Listen to me, this kind of thing can't be made public in front of elders, not only losing face but also being ridiculed..."

  Shen Mu Qing looked at Jiang Shuang Rui's grateful face: "Second sister has always taken care of me, I know it in my heart."

  Jiang Shuangrui listened, and only then did she nod her head with a relieved expression. She said very considerately: "We women, the inner courtyard is our everything. Who doesn't want their brothers to be respectful and kind... Mu Qing, although you've been here for a short time, I really like your personality, and I'd like to get along well with you as sisters-in-law!"

  Shen Mu Qing smiled and pinched Jiang Shuang Rui's hand, saying: "I understand your intentions, Second Sister."

  The two of them chatted for a while longer before Jiang Shuangrui suggested going with Shen Muchun to see Feng Wancheng.

  Ying Fan stopped her: "You haven't had dinner yet - eat first and then go!"

  Jiang Shuangrui was taken aback. "Why haven't you and Third Sister had dinner yet? You've also had a shock today! It's not too late to go see her tomorrow!"

  Shen Mu Qingxu smiled bitterly: "Something like this has happened. Who can swallow it? I'll go take a look at her first!"

  Jiang Shuangrui hesitated for a moment. He no longer stopped her, but only called out to wear more clothes and windbreaker. The night wind was still a bit cool, and she couldn't catch a cold again.

  Shen Mu Qing listened quietly and nodded straight. Letting Ying Fen take a cloak to put on her body, then went to the Xin Zhu courtyard.

  The lights in the Xinzhu courtyard were shining brightly. Feng was standing in the main hall, talking to Wang Wenxiang about something. Although they were far apart, Shen Muqing could sense the tense atmosphere between Feng and Wang Wenxiang with just one glance.

  She was taken aback.

  Is Feng Wanqing's situation really that bad?

  Chiang Shuang-ju and Shen Mu-qing were of the same mind.

  Three people fell into the water at the same time, and two of them were rescued by the wives who had come to fetch them. They both woke up, but the one who was rescued remained unconscious... Could there be something else wrong?

  The two of them quickened their pace simultaneously.

  Feng and Wang Wenxiang heard the noise and looked over in its direction. Feng's complexion slightly improved.

  Shen Muqing and Jiang Shuangrui greeted Mrs. Feng, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries. Then Shen Muqing hastily asked, "Mother, how is my cousin now? Is it serious?"

  Feng's face softened a lot and he said: "Your sister-in-law says that it's just because her body is too weak, there's nothing seriously wrong."

  Jiang Shuangrui was taken aback and asked, "Is that person awake now?"

  Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, just about to say something, when Wang Wenxiu said: "It's possible that she was frightened and has been having nightmares. Just now the little servant came back to report that it's already late at night, and there is a curfew in the city, so the imperial physician will probably only be able to come tomorrow morning."

  "Mu Qing, I think you'd better come back tomorrow to see her!" Madame Feng looked at Shen Muqing with a pleading tone in her voice, "After all, she's my niece. To send her back like this is really..."

  It's really embarrassing for her!

  Shen Muqing secretly acquiesced in her heart, but on her face she smiled respectfully: "Mother, I naturally will listen to you."

  Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, feeling that Shen Muqing had given himself enough face in front of his eldest daughter-in-law.

  Jiang Shuangrui, however, slightly furrowed his brow before smiling and saying: "Mother, since Fifth Sister is still not awake, let's head back first and come again tomorrow to see her - Third Brother and Sister haven't had dinner yet?"

  "Feng was surprised: 'How come it's so late and you haven't had dinner yet... Yingfen, how did you serve the Third Young Mistress? Hurry up and get the kitchen to cook some ginseng porridge to nourish her energy.'"

  Wang Wenxiu smiled and nodded, instructing: "There is also a Korean ginseng in my cabinet that was given by Uncle Wang. Take it to the kitchen and use it to make porridge for Third Young Mistress."

  She immediately nodded and said "yes", then pulled Ying Fen gently, saying in a low voice: "Sister, we also know San Shao's taste, why don't we go together?"

  He glanced at Shen Muqing, saw her slightly raised chin, and smiled as he held her arm, saying in a low voice: "Sister is too polite..."

  The two of them spoke and then knelt down to pay their respects to those inside the house before quickly retreating.

  Shen Mu Qing looked at him with a calm expression but shook her head.

  Jiang Shuangrui is good, but compared with Wang Wenxuan, he is indeed not in the same league!

  Back at the Treasured Pavilion, a steaming hot ginseng porridge had been sent over, filling the room with a faint earthy smell.

  Ying Fan said in a low voice: "Third Young Mistress, I didn't dare use the ginseng that Second Young Mistress gave me, and had it sent away early - this is our own family's!"

  "This is good, everyone is like a startled bird."

  Ying Fen disagreed and said: "Third Young Mistress shouldn't underestimate these small matters, big troubles often arise from small ones."

  Shen Mu Qing covered her mouth and smiled.

  "It's always like this, unpredictable." Yingfen muttered under her breath, "In case something happens, it'll be too late to cry."

  Shen Mu Qing smiled for a while, then said seriously: "Ying Fen, living like this every day, do you think it's interesting?"

  Ying Fen was taken aback and said, "Don't we all live like this?"

  His face was calm and clear, but there were a few hints of melancholy: "Life is so short, yet people spend their thoughts on this, what's the point of living?"

  The Englishman did not lower his head in thought.

  Shen Mu Qing smiled and said: "Don't think so much. I still have something to instruct you!"

  "Is it that you don't want to tell your wife? Don't worry, we've all agreed, in front of your wife, we'll only report good news and not bad news."

  "Wow, our sister Wenfen has learned to be omniscient!" Shen Muqing chuckled and said, "This time you guessed wrong!"

  Ying burst out laughing: "Third Young Mistress always orders this sentence, I've heard it all before!"

  Shen Mu Qing smiled and said: "This sentence is also what I want to remind you of. However, there's still one more thing I need you to take care of!"

  Who else? Can't you even handle it by yourself?

  The Englishman was wildly guessing and leaned in closer.

  "Go and call Luomei and Zhuiji for me."

  Mrs. Bennet covered her ears and jumped up: "What Mrs. Bennet said is right, the girl has never been dignified"

  Shen Mu Qing heard Ying Fen's usual title amidst her flustered cries, and suddenly felt a warmth in her heart like a cup of hot tea on a cold winter's day.

  She couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Luo Mei and Zhu Di were both married women, brought over from their maiden homes by Shen Mu Qing, with a good reputation. Even the old lady would address them as "Mrs. Zhou Bai Mu" or "Mrs. Lin Rui Chun". The servants in the Liang household naturally didn't dare to neglect them, and their days in the Liang household were spent smoothly and comfortably.

  It's said that Shen Muqing called them, and Luomei was fine. Lin Rui Chun was in the Jiangnan shop, while her husband and mother-in-law were house hunting in Baizhi Fang. She was alone, guarding an empty room, not wanting to cause any trouble. Except for going to Zhuji's place, she didn't go anywhere else. She wished that Shen Muqing would call her over to serve him when he had nothing better to do. However, Zhuji lived with her husband and mother-in-law, and often helped out in the kitchen or gave her mother-in-law a foot massage. When she appeared, she saw Yingfen and Luomei already waiting, and her face flushed as she explained: "I just made a silver fish soup for my father-in-law, and I was afraid of having a strong smell on me, so I washed up again."

  "Your husband, what's wrong with him? Doesn't he want to do this job anymore? If not, let's just say it early. Our girl isn't someone who can be easily bullied... Braised silver fish, he knows it tastes good, if he's craving for it, why doesn't he ask his wife to cook it instead of ordering our girl and the people in her house..."

  "Shh! Keep your voice down. This is a shared courtyard, the main house and the second house both have people living in them..."

  Ying Feng forcefully pried open the hand covering her mouth and was about to speak when she saw Zhou Bing walk out.

  After all, he had been a big shopkeeper, and with a stern face, he had an air of majesty.

  The English man looked crestfallen, like a deflated balloon, his previous arrogance slowly deflating.

  Who would have thought that Zhou Bing was extremely polite to Ying Fen, bowing deeply: "Miss Ying Fen's teachings are, in the future, I will definitely be more careful!"

  Ying Fen couldn't help but widen her eyes, yet she saw that Zhou Bing's face was full of sincerity. She couldn't help but smile and say: "I speak my mind, Manager Zhou shouldn't take it to heart."

  After all, he was Zhu Ji's father-in-law, and Lu Mei hurried forward to persuade him: "You are a junior, how could Zhou Guan Shi be on an equal footing with you?" As she spoke, she also bowed to Zhou Guan Shi and smiled: "Third Young Mistress is still waiting for us, we'll come another day to apologize to Zhou Guan Shi." Then she pulled Ying Fen and Zhu Ji away in a hurry.

  Zhou Bing returned home, his wife couldn't help but complain: "You let those little girls off so easily, how can you show your face in front of others in the future?"

  Zhou Bing sat back on the kang, pointing at the wine cup on the kang table, and shouted loudly: "Fill it up for me."

  "You only know how to order me around, you have the ability, go outside and show off...” She muttered under her breath, pouring wine for Zhou Bing with a look of impatience on her face. "Staying in the Shen family, at least we're managing the business, even if we make mistakes, there's still an account of over a hundred taels of silver per year. Now it's all good, you're idle at home, from being the attendant of the old man of Baomu Pavilion to becoming the attendant of a scholar... look at him, our family's Baomu doesn't even know how many years it'll take for him to grow up..."

  Zhou Bing slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the kang table with a "pa" sound: "What are you muttering about?"

  "Am I wrong?" Zhou Bingjia thought, from the time Zhou Bing stepped down as the head of the household, his voice involuntarily grew louder. "Look at Mu Xiang, after serving Master for eight years, he became a judicial secretary in Jinzhou...I don't dare say anything else, but our family's Bai Mu is more than ten times better than him..."

  He raised his wine cup and took a sip, then said in a low voice: "Don't say any more... one misstep, the whole game is lost... even Master and Mistress, such astute people, were blinded, let alone me..."
