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

After Shen Ke was taken away by Captain He of the Imperial Guard, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion had many guesses in their minds, but no one dared to go out and inquire.

Xia Tian still took the opportunity to go out, visited Shen Nian's villa, and visit Aunt Zhang.

"Madam, how come you have time to come here today?" Nanny Zhang was very happy to see her.

He pulled her into the house and sat her down, then began to instruct the maid to make tea and serve snacks.

Xia Tian pulled Aunt Zhang to sit down with her and said, "Aunt, I need your help with something."

After saying that, she glanced at the other people in the room and understood what she meant. "You guys go out first. I want to talk to the Crown Prince's wife."

The little maid went out.

Take a look at Ningxiang in summer.

Ningxiang nodded slightly and went out to guard the door.

Seeing how cautious she was, Aunt Zhang also became nervous. She didn't know what she was going to talk about.

He sent everyone out and guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching!

"Madam, please feel free to tell me what you have to say." After all, Nanny Zhang had seen the world, so she quickly calmed down.

"Mammy, I want you to keep this for me first." Xia Tian took out a box, which contained the indentures of those people in the second courtyard of Linglong Lane.

Nanny Zhang took it and saw that it was a contract of sale. She was a little confused and asked, "Madam, what is this?"

She thought the Crown Prince's wife was going to do something mysterious, but it turned out that she was asked to keep the indentures of these servants?

"Madam." Xia Tian leaned closer. "Recently, Liu and Shen Ke from the Marquis' Mansion were taken away by the Emperor. The Crown Prince said that Liu was taken away because she wanted to assassinate the Emperor."

Xia Tian finished speaking very quickly in one breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

The reason why she came to see Nanny Zhang today was because Nanny Zhang was no longer a member of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, and Shen Nian had returned her body contract to her long ago.

But she was always worried about Shen Hui and Shen Nian, and she didn't have any children of her own, so she stayed.

When Aunt Zhang heard the words "assassinate the emperor", she immediately panicked and spoke incoherently, "Then, then, you and the prince, you and the prince..."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was so anxious that she didn't know what to say, Xia Tian quickly held Aunt Zhang's hand and said, "Aunt, don't worry. The prince and I are fine. Just listen to me first."

Nanny Zhang was so concerned that she was confused. When she heard those words, she immediately thought that Shen Nian and Xia Tian might be implicated, so she was a little scared.

After being comforted, Xia Tian suddenly realized that if something really happened, the Crown Prince's wife probably wouldn't be able to go out, so how could she see her?

He cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, and said, "Madam, please speak."

"Mammy, the prince and I should be fine." Xia Tian emphasized this first, so as not to scare Mammy Zhang again.

"I came to you today to make preparations in advance. If anything happens, they won't be implicated by me."

Xia Tian knocked on the box and said, "Also, I want to register those two courtyards and the restaurant under your name first. What do you think, Madam?"

This was also the purpose of her coming to see Aunt Zhang today. If her courtyard and restaurant were under Aunt Zhang's name, then if they were ever raided, those two places could be preserved.

If something really happens to them later, Nanny Zhang will definitely not ignore them.

Nanny Zhang immediately understood what Xia Tian meant. "Okay, as long as the Crown Prince's wife trusts me, I will definitely take good care of her."

"Thank you very much, Ma'am." Xia Tian smiled, "You are the only one I trust the most."

"Don't worry." Nanny Zhang agreed immediately.

Xia Tian then told Nanny Zhang what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion in the past few days.

After hearing this, although Nanny Zhang was still a little panicked, she still felt that what the Crown Prince's wife said was correct, and there should be no problem between her and the Crown Prince.

But I’m afraid that I’ll be implicated to some extent, and it will be too late to make other preparations then.

After leaving Aunt Zhang, Xia Tian felt a little relieved. Now that this matter had been arranged, she felt a little relieved.

Even if something happens, it can serve as their fallback.

She didn't go to Linglong Lane and Yuejin Pavilion again. It was better not to let too many people worry about this matter, so as to avoid any accidents.

However, she went to the mansion that the emperor had rewarded her, and asked Ningxiang, Ningxue and Mufeng to wait outside. She went in to find the two old women and asked them to steam some more buns at home since they had nothing to do in the next two days and keep them for her.

After saying that, she came out. She had no mood to go anywhere else and went straight back home.

Two days later, Shen Ke and Liu still hadn't returned, and the old lady's face became increasingly ugly.

Marquis Wu'an's face was not looking good either. The old lady asked him to ask someone to find out first. If Shen Ke's accident was not serious, she wanted to see if she could ask for his release first.

After all, Shen Ke is her grandson, and he is not well yet, so she still feels a little distressed.

Marquis Wu'an had a dark face and said nothing, but he did not refuse either.

I don’t know if anyone has been asked to intercede!

Shen Nian was fine.

On the third day, Xia Tian took the three newly painted portraits to Yi Mochen's shop in the capital.

Since she didn't meet him this time, she handed the painting directly to the shopkeeper and asked him to pass it on to Yi Mochen.

She went back to the mansion that the emperor had rewarded her with, put all the steamed buns that the two maids had made in the past few days into the space, and then left.

I asked Ningxiang and Mufeng to wait outside, and sent the old woman away before taking her in.

That night, after Wu'an Hou came back, he had a huge tantrum in the study and threatened to divorce that vicious woman Liu.

The old lady was alarmed and went to the study of Marquis Wu'an in person.

Didn't come out until very late.

Only after Shen Nian came back did Xia Tian secretly ask him what was going on.

This time Shen Nian did not hide it.

It turned out that after Liu was taken away by the Imperial Guards, she had always refused to admit that she had sent anyone to assassinate the emperor, and refused to speak no matter how she was asked.

The emperor interrogated Master Liu San, also known as Minister Liu, and learned from him that among those who had tried to assassinate Shen Nian many times, there was also Shen Ke, so he took Shen Ke away as well.

After all, Shen Ke was young, so he told everything when Captain He asked him.

But what Shen Ke confessed was all about the assassination of Shen Nian, which was also a family affair of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

If I ask Shen Ke again, he won’t know.

Shen Ke did not participate in the assassination of the emperor. Liu was afraid that Shen Ke would not be able to hide the truth and would do something worse, so she did not tell him.

When Captain He told Liu that Shen Ke had confessed everything, Liu immediately collapsed.

In order to protect her son, she confessed everything, but she still refused to admit that she sent someone to assassinate the emperor. She only said that she sent someone to assassinate Shen Nian.

Because Shen Nian's whereabouts at the time were kept secret, Liu couldn't possibly know, and even if she guessed, it probably wouldn't be that accurate.

Captain He pressed her to find out who told her about Shen Nian's itinerary, but she only said that it was her own guess and did not explain anything else.

When the interrogation reached this point, Marquis Wu'an remembered that after he had just returned from Lingxiao Mountain, Lingxiu Bo came to see him, and asked why Shen Nian had not returned yet.

With this connection, I know what happened, that's why I got so angry in the study!
