  Chapter 115: The Shen Family is Raided (Pink Ticket 280 Additional Chapter)

  "Yes. Not only is the person gone, but also the personal maidservant and the trunk are all gone." Ren Xiangdeng sat in the armchair, his voice as light as a breeze rustling through the treetops, but the content was enough to make Shen Muqing jump up, "This matter is known only to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and me. We dare not spread it around, so we can only search for her in private."

  "Try some of this tea, sister-in-law. I heard it's a tribute from Fujian, and I'm having it for the first time too." Shen Mu Qing replied with a confused heart.

  This is originally the Shen family's scandal, how can it be let known by people of the Liang family.

  Ren Xiang knew she was saying this for the benefit of the Liang family's servant girls, so he cooperated and raised his voice, laughing: "Thank you, Third Young Mistress. Our village is a rural place, not comparable to the capital city where everything is luxurious and precious. To be able to taste such good tea is truly a blessing in three lifetimes!" As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Indeed, it's good tea."

  Shen Mu let out a sigh of relief.

  Ren Xiang is so clever and should not speak nonsense.

  Thinking of the current situation in the Shen family and thinking that as a daughter-in-law of the Liang family, she had to conform to the norms of "Nü Jie" and "Nü Xun", she couldn't help but frown.

  Ren Xiang had been observing everything since he entered the Liang manor, and Shen Muqing's difficulties were obvious to him. Moreover, he came to find Shen Muqing precisely because he didn't want to disturb Mrs. Li... Therefore, he hastily said: "Please trouble Third Young Mistress to let Manager Wang assist me."

  Ren Xiang's knowledgeable and interesting conversation made Shen Muqing have a good impression of him.

  He must have thought that the steward of the Prime Minister's house would be a good dancer and a smooth talker. But he didn't know that Shen Zhen had experienced many ups and downs in his official career, and had seen through the world's superficiality. The more intimate people were, the more they liked to use honest and kind... As for Wang Gui becoming the steward of the Shen family, it would be better to say that he was loyal rather than capable.

  Ren Xiang asked him to help find Shen Yue Rong... maybe the person hasn't been found yet, but Li has already been driven mad with worry!

  Shen Mu thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "Go to the Fushigane Dry Goods Store on Xidajie Street and find Xiao Qi. Let him help you figure it out."

  Ren Xiang saw Shen Muqing open his mouth and naturally was overjoyed.

  Two people chatted for a while, and then Ren Xiang bid farewell.

  Shen Muqing returned to Die Cui Yuan but no matter what she couldn't calm down.

  She called Zhenzhu over: "Let Bai Mu go and find out what Dài Guì, the commander of Liaodong, has been up to lately?"

  Pearls of wisdom responded in unison and left.

  Before long, a flurry of hasty footsteps echoed through the corridor.

  Shen Mu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  Even if Shen Yueyong eloped with Dai Gui, Zhuji shouldn't be this flustered...

  She was thinking, the curtain at the door "swished" open - tall and majestic Liang Youhui rushed in. She took three steps as two, walked to Shen Muqing's front with a flustered expression, pulled her hand, slightly opened her mouth, tears rolled in her eyes, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

  Who made her suffer such grievances?

  Shen Mu Qing said quietly, "It's strange." Then she thought of Liang You Hui's illness and smiled as she grasped her hand: "Don't worry, don't worry, let's talk slowly."

  Liang Youhui's teeth chattered, and after a long while, she stuttered: "Confiscated... confiscated..."

  Shen Mu Qing's mind went "boom".

  "Yuè Huì, calm down." She heard her own voice floating in the air, sometimes near and sometimes far: "Whose house was searched? Who did you hear it from?"

  Liang Youhui shook even more violently: "You, you, your family... has just been raided, Third Brother, Third Brother is still at Grandmother's place... still there..." As she spoke, her eyes rolled back and she foamed at the mouth, her body tilting to one side as she fell to the ground.

  Shen Mu Qing stayed there quietly.

  Following Liang Youhui in, Danzhu's face turned pale and she cried out in fear: "It's terrible! The second young lady has fallen ill!"

  Shen Muqing finally came back to her senses.

  She didn't have time to think much, staring fiercely at Danzhu, and shouted: "What are you crying about? Call the doctor!"

  Dan Zhu was startled by Shen Muqing's roar and came back to his senses. He responded with a "yes" and turned around to run out immediately.

  Shen Mu Qing looked at Liang You Hui, who was convulsing on the ground, and didn't know what to do. Ying Fen suddenly spoke up: "Third Young Mistress, why don't we call Zǐ Shā over?"

  It's also true that Zilian was sent by Tai Furen to be beside You Hui - she wouldn't send someone to be beside You Hui for no reason.

  Shen Mu Qing nodded repeatedly, and Ying Fen rushed over to call in Zi Sha.

  Zi Sha took a look, didn't say another word, pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and stuffed it into Liang Youhui's mouth. While stuffing, she explained to Shen Muqing: "This is in case she bites her own tongue."

  Shen Mu Qing responded with a soft "oh" and humbly asked Zi Sha for guidance: "What else can we do?" As soon as her words fell, the room emitted a foul odor.

  Zi Sha looked at Shen Muqing with a hint of embarrassment: "Second Miss seems to have lost control!"

  It's good as long as people live!

  Shen Mu Qing said: "Can people move it?"

  Zi Sha nodded: "Be careful and lift him onto the bed."

  Shen Mu Qing hurriedly called in Ming Xia and a few others to come in, everyone gently lifted Liang You Hui onto the bed, and then fetched water to clean her up.

  Just then, the old lady had already received news. Zi Juan and another maid named Zi Xiang, along with Zi Sha, took care of Liang You Hui together. The three people were in perfect harmony, their movements smooth and practiced, their cooperation seamless, it seemed that taking care of the sick Liang You Hui was not a rare occurrence.

  The old lady called Shen Muqing out to talk.

  "How did you suddenly fall ill?" The voice was full of questioning and suspicion.

  Shen Muqing did not get angry. A tiger does not eat its own son. No matter how the old lady treated these daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, she was genuinely taking care of the flesh and blood of the Liang family.

  She stared straight at Madame Tai: "Yu Hui said our house was raided!"

  "Ah, Mu Qing, I wasn't going to tell you this. I was afraid it would sadden you. But rest assured, no matter what happens, the ones being punished are the Shens, not the Liangs. As long as I'm around, you'll always have a home with us..."

  The madam's voice floated in the air, sometimes near and sometimes far, like a dubbed sound in a movie, giving Shen Muqing an unreal feeling.

  She had been eagerly awaiting this news every day, but when it finally reached her ears, she felt afraid.

  What if the gold and silver extorted are still not considered clean in the eyes of the emperor?

  What if Mr. Li doesn't have enough time to handle the family property quickly?

  What if someone discovers and reports the property transfer?

  Sorrow and worry came pouring in, Shen Mu Qing leaned against the thick red lacquered pillar under the eaves of the house.

  Old Lady looked at her and shook her head, calling out to Yingfen: "Help your young mistress to the west wing room to rest for a while!" Then she went to see Yu Hui.

  Shen Mu Qing lay on the frame bed in the west wing house, neither wanting to eat nor drink.

  It's been nine days since the Shen family was searched.

  The royal family's thunderous means are even more severe than they imagined.

  The homes of the Ming Shi Fang family and the old residence of Shen Jia Song Hu Tong were sealed off, and several women including Li Shi, Chen Yi Niang, Da She, and Wang Ma Ma were imprisoned in the Temple of the God of Prisons on the outskirts of Kyoto.

  It is said that it was less than twenty zhang away from where Shen Zhen was imprisoned in the imperial prison.

  In the late August of Kyoto, the wind blowing on the body already has a chill. I don't know if Li has warm clothes to keep out the cold? Is there a bowl of hot water for her to drink? Will Chen's wife serve her wholeheartedly?

  These worries and concerns made Shen Muqing's mind restless for a moment.

  She often thought: Did she and Xiao Sa accidentally get clever? Otherwise, the Shen family only copied out 13,644 taels of silver, why were Li Shi and others still locked in the Temple of Prison? Why didn't Shen Zhen let her out? Why did Madame lock herself at home and not let her go out?

  That inexpressible pain made Shen Muqing feel like his heart was being strangled at all times.

  She lay on her back in bed with a dull gaze, not even wanting to move at all.

  Liang Jimin sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the bowl of congealed porridge in his hand and let out a soft sigh.

  "You'd better eat something! Otherwise, when your father-in-law comes out and sees you in this state, he'll probably feel even more distressed."

  His voice was somewhat stiff, and the comforting words sounded very formulaic in Shen Muqing's ears, making her think of those leaders who comfort patients on TV.

  She now only wants to see Xiao Sa.

  Only he can discuss with her, only he can make plans with her, only he knows how worried and afraid she is in her heart...

  Liuchun poked her head out of the door, Yingfen saw her and glared at her fiercely before walking over quietly: "What's wrong?"

  Liu Chun whispered: "The old lady and the madam are coming!"

  Ying hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said to Liang Qiming: "Third Master, the old madam and the madam have arrived!"

  Liáng Jìmǐn let out a sigh of relief.

  Shen Muqing was like this, he really didn't know how to get along with her.

  To be honest, his days aren't easy either.

  His colleagues in the Hanlin Academy made him feel ashamed and embarrassed, like sitting on pins and needles.

  "What's wrong? Still refusing food and drink?" The old lady and Madame Feng walked over.

  Liáng Jìmǐn hastily stood up and paid his respects to his grandmother and mother.

  "Sit down quickly!" Madame Tai looked at him with a sorrowful expression, her eyes full of sympathy. "You've been working hard taking care of Mu Qing for the past two days."

  "Son, don't be too hard on yourself!" Liang Jiemin said with a bitter smile. "Taking care of your wife is what I should do."

  Feng nodded, looking at Shen Muqing lying on the bed like a wooden carving, ignoring him. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and turned to Liang Jimin: "You'd better take a few more days off from the Hanlin Academy!"

  Li Jifen hesitated: "I've already taken five days off in a row..."

  "There's Yatou and your mother at home, and if all else fails, there's us! The old lady disapproved, "He's a man, a big husband, every day at home doing lowly chores for his wife, it doesn't sound good to say it out loud!"

  Mr. Feng wanted to speak but hesitated.

  Madam Tai asked Liang Jiemin, "I heard from Uncle Xin that Yuan Yu petitioned on behalf of your father-in-law and the Emperor agreed to return the Shen family's old residence at Songshu Hutong in Shihua Bridge to the Shen family?"

  Liang Jimin was taken aback and said: "Second brother didn't tell me, I don't know!"

  The madam's gaze fell on Jiang Shuangrui standing behind them.

  Jiang Shuangrui shook his head vaguely.

  Wang Wenxian smiled and said: "I've also heard that. It's not just that the old mansion in Songshu Hutong was returned to the Shen family, but also that Madame Shen will be released in these two days!"

  Shen Muqing, who had been quietly lying in bed, suddenly sat up: "Sister-in-law, is this true?"

  Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Muqing.

  Her pale face was transparent, a pair of big apricot eyes gazed at the people in the scene with misty water vapor, looking pitiful.

  Wang Wenxian looked heartbroken. She nodded and said, "I just heard about it too, I thought the news hadn't reached here yet, so Third Uncle doesn't know - I'll send someone to ask at the Dali Temple later!"
