A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Marquis Wu'an felt relieved when he saw Xia Tian put the box of silver back on the table.

Although it was natural for him to give the money, he was still very happy to see that his daughter-in-law was sensible.

He casually picked up the box and stuffed it into Shen Nian's hand, saying to Xia Tian, "Take it, this is what you deserve."

Xia Tian saw that Marquis Wu'an did not seem to be lying, so he did not refuse and accepted it.

She was also very happy. Although Wu'an Hou wanted to paint her, he did not use his status as an elder to pressure her and even gave her money. From this point of view, this big brother was still worth holding on to.

There was nothing wrong, so Marquis Wu'an let the two leave.

It's not that he really likes Mr. Xuanying's paintings.

As a military general, he usually doesn't have the habit of pretending to be cultured. It's just that everyone is talking about this matter today and he is a little curious.

Just then he thought of asking Xia Tian to draw a picture for him so that he could see what kind of painting was worth five thousand taels of silver.

As for giving money, they are all family members, so I don’t feel bad about giving it away.

As Xia Tian and Shen Nian just left Wu'an Marquis's courtyard, a guard came to report to Wu'an Marquis that the reward from the Empress Dowager had arrived.

Marquis Wu'an hurried out. Nanny Chen, who was beside the empress dowager, did not come, but sent two eunuchs and two maids to deliver things.

The people who came did not receive the order in a grand manner. They just put down their things and left.

Before anyone else could come over, Marquis Wu'an asked his maid Qin to give each visitor a large purse before letting them go.

After the Queen Mother's men left, Marquis Wu'an asked Shen Nian what was going on.

Shen Nian then briefly told Marquis Wu'an what Xia Tian had told her about what happened today at the Queen Mother's place.

Marquis Wu'an nodded. He didn't know that such a thing would happen today.

No wonder everyone now knows that the prince’s wife is Mr. Xuanying.

After understanding the situation, Marquis Wu'an waved his hand and asked someone to deliver the things directly to Xia Tian's yard.

Shen Nian and Xia Tian also went back with them.

When they arrived at Jinglan Garden, Ningxiang asked people to put the things in the warm room. Xia Tian took a look and saw that there were six pieces of brocade in six colors, all of which were more suitable for young people to wear.

That set of jeweled headdress was a complete set, including hairpins, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, etc. It looked extremely valuable.

The things that the Empress Dowager bestowed upon me were definitely worth more than five thousand taels of silver.

Xia Tian was extremely happy, as all of this was earned through her own efforts.

She asked Shen Nian, "Brother Shen, do these things need to be distributed to the old lady and the others?"

She didn't understand this rule, so it would be better for her to ask clearly to avoid making anyone unhappy.

"No need, this is a reward from the Queen Mother, just keep it."

"Okay, I'll keep it then."

"Well, you are tired today, so go to bed early." After Shen Nian said this, he returned to Lingyun Pavilion.

After Shen Nian left, Cuiyun and the others came over and asked Xia Tian what was going on.

In Jinglan Garden, only Ningxiang and Ningxue knew that she was Mr. Xuanying. These two people were the ones who usually cleaned the study, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

So Cuiyun and the others only knew that Xia Tian often painted in the study, but they didn't know that she was Mr. Xuanying.

After Ningxiang and Ningxue got Xia Tian's consent, they told Cuiyun and the others about this matter, and the maids were very happy.

I didn't expect that their lady was so talented. She impressed so many people with her painting skills.

Seeing them happy in the summer, I am also very happy.

This joy made Cuiyun take the silver to the kitchen to prepare extra meals for everyone in Jinglan Garden.

This made everyone even happier, and they wished that good things would happen to their wives every day.

It was very lively here, but Liu was not happy at all.

"Madam, you said that Mr. Xuanying is the prince's wife?" Madam Qi, Liu's personal nanny, asked in disbelief.

Qiuyue followed Liu into the palace today, so she didn't know about this yet.

"She painted it today in front of the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and all the ministers' wives." Liu said with a bit of gritted teeth, "It was such a show, no one could compare to it."

Aunt Qi was puzzled. "Madam, didn't they say she was from the countryside? Didn't our people investigate thoroughly enough, or did they not investigate at all and just make it up?"

When Shen Nian went out to find a miracle doctor, Liu did not hide anything she did from Madam Qi.

Nanny Qi naturally knew that Liu had sent people to hunt down Shen Nian, and she also knew that Liu had sent people to investigate Xia Tian's background.

"That's absolutely correct. The people we sent out wouldn't be so bold as to lie about this matter." Liu said affirmatively.

But what on earth had gone wrong? How could a peasant girl from the countryside like her have so many things?

Could it be that Shen Nian taught all this?

But if it was Shen Nian who taught her, then it might be possible that he taught her to read and write, but it was absolutely impossible that he taught her to paint.

Because the Daqian Dynasty had never heard of anyone with such painting skills.

"Could she be the disciple of some hidden master?" Liu speculated. How else could she explain this? Unless she was a genius, self-taught!

"Should we send someone to check her identity?" asked Aunt Qi.

Liu thought for a moment, her eyes cold, "Forget it, whether she is really from the countryside or is a disciple of some master, it doesn't matter. What matters is that she is on Shen Nian's side now, so there is no need for us to keep her."

I originally wanted to keep her to embarrass Shen Nian, but now I find that keeping this girl will actually help Shen Nian, so I have no choice but to get rid of her.

Aunt Qi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then has Madam figured out what to do?"

"Don't worry, wait for me to get ready, then go call Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Li was the one who was in charge of the garden and who had instructed her goddaughter Qingye to give Xia Tian the contraceptive drug.

After a while, Mrs. Li came over under the cover of dusk.

The guard who was watching Mrs. Li also quickly informed Shen Nian about this.

Shen Nianrang continued to watch and not to alert the enemy.

Then let Muchen go and listen to see what they are discussing.

Much Chen quietly reached the roof of Liu's house.

When Mrs. Li arrived at Liu's room, Madam Qi asked everyone else to go out and asked Qiuyue to guard the door.

After half a month of rest, Qiuyue's injuries had almost healed, and she came back to continue her duty a few days ago.

After Mrs. Li came in and gave Liu a proper greeting, she lowered her head and asked, "Madam, do you have any instructions for me?"

Mrs. Li was feeling a little uneasy. Ever since Liu had contacted her last time and asked her to instruct someone to drug the Crown Prince's wife, she had never contacted her again.

"Next month is the old lady's birthday. There will definitely be many outsiders at home. The old lady's nephew named Xu Jun who likes to flirt with other women will definitely come." After saying this, Liu looked at Li Pozi meaningfully.

Li Pozi was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Madam, I will strengthen the patrol of the garden and not allow any outside men to walk around casually."

She knew the old lady's nephew named Xu Jun, who was a womanizing bastard.

Last year, when the old lady celebrated her birthday, she almost molested the second young lady, Shen Ning, in the garden.

Afterwards, she was fined by Liu for half a year's salary.

For the housekeepers like them, the monthly salary is not deducted casually, as it is the food rations for the whole family.
