Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 237: The No. 22 Scholar’s ​​Wife ()

Minister Fu knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he hurriedly supported the woman, carefully held the child in his arms, and then stumbled out of the yard.

Their steps seemed a little hurried, but their hearts were full of desire to survive.

In the end, everything was fine. People nearby rushed to help put out the fire. With everyone working together, they finally succeeded in putting out the fire.

At the same time, someone quickly called the police, hoping that the cause of the fire could be found and the problem resolved as soon as possible.

Minister Fu's face was covered with black soot, and his originally neat clothes became dirty. He looked extremely disheveled.

The woman next to him had obviously unstable breathing due to inhaling too much smoke, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked like she was dying.

Minister Fu was deeply distressed and immediately ordered his servant to ask a doctor to come and treat the patient.

After receiving the order, the servant left in a hurry and came back with the doctor after a while.

Minister Fu asked the servant to carefully help the woman into the courtyard, and then found a room for the two to stay.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir."

The woman was filled with gratitude. She knew very well that if Minister Fu had not come to her aid, she and her master would have been burned to death.

Minister Fu couldn't help but look at the child. Although the child was young, he had an extraordinary demeanor, especially his good manners and handsome appearance. When he grew up, he would definitely be handsome.

"Since your family is in trouble, you can settle down at my place. Someone will take care of your food and daily life for a while. Once your house is repaired, you can move back in."

The child responded obediently, bowed to Minister Fu, and said respectfully, "Yes, thank you, sir."

Minister Fu stroked his forehead, but saw a flash of displeasure in the child's eyes. This sinister look was a bit like... the late emperor.

Minister Fu felt that his idea was too absurd. How could this child, who lived in the courtyard of Yanliu Lane, be born into a wealthy family?

However, looking at the child's face and expression that were similar to the late emperor, Minister Fu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Could this child really have some special identity? Or is it just a coincidence?

Minister Fu shook his head and threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

In any case, the child is homeless now, so it's a good thing to be able to take them in.

Moreover, looking at the child's sensible and well-behaved appearance, Minister Fu couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

Thinking of this, Minister Fu decided to go back and live for a while. After all, he had not been in the Minister's Mansion for a while, and the Shen family would definitely make a fuss.

But his mother has never liked Shen. If he doesn't go home, Shen will probably suffer more grievances.

So he said to the children, "I will take care of some business first and come back to visit you in a few days. You should live well here. If you need anything, you can tell the guards here."

The children all agreed in unison, their eyes filled with gratitude. Minister Fu smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

Liu'er, who was hiding in the dark, stared at the interaction between the boy and Minister Fu, with a look of shock on her face.

What just happened made her feel a chill running down her spine.

And now, she finally understood everything.

It turned out that the boy was Minister Fu’s son!

This discovery made Liu'er's heart sink. She couldn't help but think of the test she had just made on the relationship between Minister Fu and the mother and son.

However, to her surprise, the mystery was solved so easily.

Liu'er secretly felt lucky that she did not deal directly with the mother and son, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

She bit her lip and cursed in her heart: "Damn luck!"

But then I thought, now that I know the truth, what should I do next?

Thinking of this, Liu'er's face became even gloomier. She knew that if this matter got to the ears of the lady, it would definitely cause an uproar.

The Madam has been keeping a close eye on the Shangshu's whereabouts, and this incident is undoubtedly a major breakthrough.

Liu'er began to think about how to report this matter to the lady so as to avoid being punished and get some benefits.

After all, she completed this task at a risk.

Just as her thoughts were in a mess, Minister Fu left with the boy in the distance, leaving Liu'er standing alone in the dark, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart, then turned and disappeared into the night.

Only after Minister Fu left did Liu'er quietly leave Yanliu Lane.

She took a shortcut in a carriage and returned to the Shangshu Mansion before Shangshu Fu. This news must be told to the mistress, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

After half a cup of tea, Liu'er reported to Shen everything that had happened in Yanliu Lane, without any concealment or omission.

Shen, who had been leisurely sipping her tea, gradually lost her smile after hearing Liu'er's words, replaced by shock and anger. She had never imagined that her husband, whom she had always trusted, would actually betray her.

The Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly broke, and the round beads scattered all over the ground with a crisp sound.

Shen widened her eyes and looked at the Buddhist beads scattered all over the floor, her heart filled with pain and disappointment.

Liu Er continued, "Minister Fu was extremely caring towards the mother and son. When the fire broke out, he even rushed into the opposite yard to rescue them, regardless of his own safety."

These words pierced Shen's heart like a sharp sword.

Shen gritted her teeth, tears glistening in her eyes, and said angrily.

"I've given so much for him, how could he treat me like this? Men's promises really can't be trusted!"

Recalling the scene when she snatched Minister Fu from Wan Baozhu, now he is keeping another woman outside without her knowledge. Is this the so-called retribution?

However, Shen would never allow anyone to snatch the position of Shangshu's wife from her. She would never allow that bitch mother and son to enter the Fu family's gate.

Even if she had to kill the mother and son, she would never eat this half-cooked meal.

Liu'er also complained, "How could the master be like this? You take care of the husband and children and manage the household, how could the master just focus on pursuing his own affairs? This is too much. Why don't you tell the old lady about this?"

Shen sneered, and looked at Liu'er with an increasingly speechless expression, as if she despised the maid for being too stupid.

"Tell the old lady, and then, when she knows she has a grandson, invite the mother and son back and give them a legitimate status. This little bitch has seduced the master's heart, and I will never allow her to enter the mansion."

Liu'er suddenly realized how unreliable what she had just said was. She looked embarrassed and scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Then... according to Madam's idea, what should we do?"

Shen thought about it and still felt that she couldn't let that woman in, otherwise there would be no place for her in the house in the future.

So, she decided to investigate the woman's identity and background first, and then find a way to solve it if there were any problems.

"Don't make this public for now. Go and secretly investigate that woman's background and where she came from. Remember, be careful and don't alert the enemy."

Shen whispered.

Liu'er nodded to show that she understood.

"If he insists on bringing that woman into the mansion, we will think of other ways. In short, we must not let that woman succeed!" Shen said gritting her teeth.

A cold light flashed across Shen's calm eyes. She said lightly, "Since keeping them here is a nuisance, it's better to eliminate them completely. As long as the existence of this bitch mother and son is kept secret, it won't affect my status."

Liu'er was a maid who had served Shen for many years. When she heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked.

She never thought that Shen, who was usually gentle, kind and compassionate, would say such words.

She looked at Shen, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knew that Shen did this for profit.

After all, if that bitch mother and son were really brought into the mansion, they would definitely become a threat to the Shen family.

Liu'er looked away and sighed deeply. She thought of her late wife, Mrs. Wan.

That kind and beautiful woman treated Shen like her own sister, but in the end she ended up with a tragic death.

Thinking of this, Liu Er couldn't help but sigh: "Madam is right."

Shen raised her eyebrows and looked straight at Liu'er, but said nothing.

Her smile became softer, but it made Liu'er feel like she was facing a formidable enemy. Could it be that the lady wanted her to take action?

Liu'er looked a little nervous. She couldn't do such a thing as killing someone.

"lady."

She fell to her knees with a thud, her eyes filled with unspeakable fear.

Shen said with a smile, "You are now 28 years old and still unmarried. In the future, I will arrange a marriage for you, but Liu'er, you must be obedient."

Liu'er kowtowed heavily. She just wanted to be a maid and do her duty. It seemed that she could not stay out of trouble now.

"Madam, if you want me to do something, just tell me directly."

Shen looked down at Liu'er as if she were an ant. This little bitch's life and indenture were in her hands, so she was not afraid that she would have other thoughts.

"I'll give you one hundred taels of silver. Find a skilled assassin to kill that bitch and her son. As long as you complete the task, you will be my first-class maid."

Liu'er was slightly stunned and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Shen spoke again.

"You don't want your old mother and your unmarried brother to die in vain, do you? If you don't obey, someone will do it for me."

After Shen finished speaking lightly, Liu'er knew she had no choice but to kneel down and speak.

"Yes, Liu'er understands Madam's intention and will complete the task well."

While the master and servant were talking, Mother Chen came running in from outside to deliver a message.

"Madam, the master has returned. The old lady has ordered the kitchen staff to prepare dinner and is ready to eat together."

Shen was slightly stunned. She once had some friendship towards Shangshu, but now it was all gone. But since he had a mistress, she really couldn't keep her cool.

"Didn't you say that the master would be back later?" Shen asked with a frown.

The maid Xiao Tao beside her said softly, "I heard that he came back early because he finished his official business."

Shen's eyes turned cold and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

What official business? It was obviously brought back from that bitch. Could it be that Fu Zhengguo really wanted to bring Shen back to his mansion?

She and Minister Fu have been married for many years but have never been able to have children. Now he actually has a mistress outside and lets that woman give birth to a child!

How could she not be angry?

Shen took a deep breath, tried hard to control her emotions, and told herself not to let anger cloud her mind.

"I understand. You go down first." Shen waved her hand, signaling Xiaotao to leave.

Xiaotao bowed and walked out.

Shen sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, her heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.

She and Fu Shangshu had a sweet time together, but as time went on, their relationship gradually became distant and even cold.

Now, he actually has another woman and a child...

Shen felt like her world collapsed in an instant.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the pain brought her back to consciousness.

She had to face reality and not let this incident affect her status and future. Shen calmed herself down.

Then he stood up and straightened his clothes.

Although he was in great pain inside, he still maintained calm and elegance on the surface.

After all, she is the legal wife of the Fu family and cannot let others laugh at her.

"Let's go to Hesong Hall and bring the Buddhist beads we bought from Zhucui Pavilion last time. The old lady will definitely like it." As Shen said this, she walked out of the room and headed towards Hesong Hall.

Although she was reluctant, she understood that it was not the time to confront Minister Fu yet, so she could only endure it for the time being.

Those were Buddhist beads that Shen had spent more than one hundred taels of silver to buy. There was only one of them in the entire capital, and it was a rare item.

Only when the old lady is happy can her life get better, and it doesn't matter if it just costs some money.

Half an incense stick later, Shen appeared in Hesong Hall.

However, she arrived late and thought everyone was waiting for her, but unexpectedly, she saw Fu Qingning there from a distance.

I don't know what she said, but it made the old lady laugh out loud. Minister Fu also looked at Fu Qingning with fondness, as if he was proud of her.

This heartwarming scene hurt Shen's heart. She thought that even if Fu Qingning returned home, nothing would change.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, Fu Qingning gained the respect of everyone.

It was true that she was now a teacher at Bailu Academy, and many people came to please her, but Shen was still filled with resentment.

It is really ridiculous that a woman, instead of taking care of her husband and children, wants to be a teacher in Bailu Academy.

However, Shen's prejudice could not change Shi Qing's success in the Shangshu Mansion.

Shi Qing happily massaged the old lady's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Grandma, the students of Bailu Academy will have their coming-of-age ceremony next month, and the dean has invited many people to attend. I don't know who to invite. I wonder if you are free?" Shi Qing asked the old lady with a smile.

The old lady's face was filled with smiles. She was very proud that her granddaughter had been invited, and she also felt very proud.

She met with an old friend these two days. When she mentioned Qingqing, her friend praised her highly and even said that Concubine Shu liked Qingqing very much.

The most important thing is that in the past two days, many young men from good families in the capital have come to the Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage.

As the saying goes, if one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her out.
