Chapter 198 My cousin almost became the scapegoat!
Two little girls were walking side by side in the market, whispering to each other, when suddenly Xiao Tao accidentally bumped into a village girl who was carrying a basket of eggs and fell to the ground with a plop.
You can imagine what happened to a basket of eggs, they shattered to the ground with a loud crash!
Xiao Tao was so frightened at that time: "Oh my! What's going on?"
The village girl stood there pitifully and began to cry. The basket of eggs was broken into pieces. There could have been at least twenty or thirty eggs!
Xiao Tao instinctively raised her head and looked at Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong sighed helplessly, "Oh! It's okay... It's okay. I'll buy the basket of eggs for you, Miss."
Xiaohong took out another dime from her purse and gave it to the village girl. The village girl took the dime with many thanks: "Thank you, Miss. I really don't know how to thank you. It was the young lady who bumped into me, not you. It's really embarrassing that she didn't pay the money and asked you to pay it."
Xiao Tao lowered her head embarrassedly, her face a little red, but she just couldn't bear to pay the money!
Xiao Hong smiled and said: "She also works for others, it is not easy. The money in her hand belongs to the master, she can't take it out casually, I will compensate you in the same way!
Forget it, don't embarrass her. Let's go together. You're all dirty. Let's go shopping in front. There's a cloth shop that's about to open. I don't know if it sells clothes right now. Let's go and see if there's anything suitable. I'll buy a set of clothes for each of you. Don't be angry!"
Xiao Tao carried a large basket of vegetables in a daze and followed the lady who wanted to buy clothes for her and the village girl.
While walking, the rich lady took off the pearl hairpin on her head and gave one to each of the two girls. The two girls put them on their heads and looked at each other. They thought they looked so beautiful.
The three little girls are of similar age, and they became good sisters as they walked. They were so happy talking and laughing!
Xiaotao was sandwiched between a young lady and a country girl, and she felt like she was their friend.
When we arrived at the entrance of Ruyi Clothing Shop, there were people watching the fun, but I heard that it hasn’t opened yet and the auspicious day is tomorrow!
Xiaohong went into the house and asked the shopkeeper, who said that the business was not open yet, but he could sell them two sets of clothes first. However, he asked them to come in through the back door and go out through the back door, and not to advertise it too much so that people would squeeze in to buy clothes and affect the opening tomorrow!
Xiaohong brought Xiaotao and the village girl into the shop and chose a light pink dress for each of them. The two girls were very happy. Xiaohong also chose one for herself. There were three dresses in total, and she spent thirty taels. The two girls looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.
After exiting the back door of Ruyi Clothing Shop, the three girls became complete good friends. The village girl first told her family's secret: "My eldest brother's new wife is so funny. She kept screaming during her first night at home. The sound was so embarrassing that my mother even said she was shameless!"
The little girls all blushed, but started to talk about their family secrets. Xiaohong said that her father was rich and had a mistress outside, and was beaten half to death by her mother!
Xiao Tao had nothing to say, so she said, "My young lady was in the capital. She and her cousin from the Wang family were hugging each other while viewing flowers in the garden. When we went there, the young lady had been raped by the cousin and was crying!
Later, they had several trysts. This time, the young lady was probably pregnant. She didn't have her period on the fifth day of this month, so she ran over from the capital, wanting to find the prince. She said that she had experience and was sensible, and as long as the prince was a man, she could make it happen!"
Xiao Hong and the village girl said at the same time: "It turns out that your daughter is so brave that she even wants to find the prince to take over!"
Xiao Tao said in frustration: "It's all my fault. When I was watching at the door, I clearly saw the prince's entourage, but when my young lady rushed over, she turned out to be the old man from the Prince of the State!
When my little girl was young, a fortune teller told her that she was destined to be very rich!
If my young lady could marry a prince, she would be really rich, but my young lady said that I was unlucky and ruined her plans!
There is no other way. Now that the young lady’s reputation has spread, she can only go along with the situation and marry that old man, the Duke of Fuguo!
But my young lady is very capable. As long as she enters the Duke's Mansion, the position of county lady or mistress of the house will definitely be hers in the future!"
Xiaohong and Xiaoli were shocked. This vixen and her servant were so shameless! Why didn't they kick the vixen to death?
Xiaohong and Xiaobi took Xiaotao for a walk. Xiaotao got five taels of silver and a set of clothes. She was so happy that her tail wagged as she walked, and she returned to the Sun Mansion reluctantly!
Xiaohong and Xiaobi looked at each other, then quickly ran into an alley, changed their clothes and went home.
Xiao Hong and Xiao Bi told Shen Ruyi what Xiao Tao said truthfully. Shen Ruyi nodded and said, "I just don't think this is such a coincidence. Vixen and Green Tea Bitch are so filthy!
All right, now just wait for my uncle to find the imperial physician, I will immediately arrange for the fortune and treasure, and prepare everything!"
Shen Ruyi had almost finished investigating the matter and quickly went to tell her mother.
Shen was in a bad mood, but when she heard about this, her eyes widened: "How could this little girl be so vicious when she was so young? She had an affair with someone else and got pregnant, and she wanted your cousin to take over?"
Shen Ruyi: "Well! Thanks to her maid's poor eyesight, she ran into my father. She had to make the best of it and wanted to rely on our family again. She is really bold!"
Mother, don't worry. I have already made arrangements there. We just need to wait for His Highness' uncle to find the imperial physician and have him diagnose truthfully that she had a miscarriage and cannot blame us.
Another thing is, I want to catch her adulterer and make her lose her reputation so that she can’t blackmail anyone else!"
Shen looked at her little girl and said with some concern: "Ruyi, don't work too hard. I heard that your shop will open tomorrow. Have you arranged everything?"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Mother, of course I have arranged it. It will open tomorrow. I will ask everyone in our family to help. It will definitely be busy in the first few days!"
Shen smiled dotingly: "Ruyi, you scared mother to death. When mother knew you were in Shunjing Mansion, I couldn't sleep all night. Mother rushed to find you regardless of everything because she was afraid that something would happen to you. Mother is useless. She has relied on you for so many years, but mother can't live without you. You are mother's sweetheart!
Ruyi, when your shop is open and the hill over there is arranged, let's go home. Your mother is here with you, and your grandmother and Wanqian at home will be worried!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay, my uncle has allocated the hill that my mother owns to me, and today Lord Ma has written the deed for that hill for me. Qixia Mountain is great, and I will make a big farm out of it.
I won't move that mountain for the time being. I'll wait until you give birth to the baby, during the New Year or the beginning of autumn. Then when we have time and have spare manpower, we'll come and do it.
My cousin has someone, and my dad has someone, so won’t it be quick by then?”
When Shen talked to her daughter, the atmosphere became relaxed, because the problem had been solved and the mother and daughter no longer had to worry.
Shen was a simple woman. As long as her daughter was happy, she would be happy! As long as her husband treated her well, she would be good to her husband!
While the mother and daughter were talking, Qin Beiyu came in. He got a bag of goodies outside today and brought them to Shen Ruyi. When Shen Ruyi saw her cousin carrying an oil-paper bag, she knew it must be chestnuts.
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Cousin, what is this?"
Qin Beiyu is not a fool, how could he say that he bought it for his little cousin?
"The county lady is here, I picked some chestnuts specially to cheer her up!"
Shen is not really stupid. Her daughter and cousin are in love with each other and it is the time for them to develop their relationship. How can she get in the way?
"Ruyi, go eat chestnuts with your cousin. Mom doesn't like them. I'm going to go and sew a pair of pants for your dad. I don't know how he wore those pants, and the trouser legs are torn!
Prince, you can eat here with Ruyi!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay, mother, go ahead and do your work. Let Xiaohong and Xiaobi help you!"
Qin Beiyu respectfully said goodbye to Shen, and they sat there. The man's big hands were strong and he peeled a chestnut kernel in two strokes. While eating the chestnut kernel, Shen Ruyi looked at her cousin and suddenly laughed.
"Cousin, do you know? You almost became the scapegoat!"
