Wasnât this the person who gave him the white steamed bun?
Bian Yuanzhi blinked. So, did his cousin send this guy over?
What about the one from the day before? Was it also his cousinâs doing?
His eyes suddenly curved into crescents, and he smiled happily.
Shao Qingyuan noticed his gaze and couldnât help but look at him.
Bian Yuanzhi hurriedly lowered his head and ate obediently. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Shao Qingyuan scooping porridge for Gu Yundong. He could not help but think to himself that this was his cousin-in-law.
She looked better than his ex-brother-in-law. She would definitely be happy in the future. Definitely.
After everyone at the table finished eating in silence, Shao Qingyuan said, âSomeone will come over later.â
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows.
Shao Qingyuan looked at the time and walked to the windowsill. He lowered his eyes and looked at the people coming and going below.
After a while, a familiar-looking woman walked over and raised her head to look over.
When she saw Shao Qingyuan, she quickly lowered her head.
This person was Gu Gangâs concubine, Madam Shen.
Mdm Shen was holding a basket in her hand and there was a woman beside her. She did not notice Mdm Shenâs abnormality and was bargaining with the vegetable seller by the roadside.
Seeing that the discussion was intense, Mdm Shen suddenly said in a low voice, âIâm a little unwell. Iâll go to the inn opposite to borrow the outhouse. If youâve bought the vegetables, wait for me under the willow by the river.â
The woman frowned. She wanted to say that she was lazy and had a lot of feces and urine, but she still forced a smile. âAlright, go ahead. But you have to give me the money for the groceries.â
Mdm Shen gave her the money and the basket. She hurriedly turned around and entered the inn.
The woman pursed her lips, but she was a little happier when she saw the money in her hand. She worked even harder to argue with the vegetable seller. If she could get the price lower by one copper coin, she would be able to keep one more copper coin.
Mdm Shen entered the inn and looked at the second floor. When she saw Shao Qingyuan, she hurriedly came up.
After entering, she saw Gu Yundong, Madam Yang, and Bian Yuanzhi.
Bian Yuanzhi also saw her. Of course, he recognized this person. In the past, when Madam Shen pitied him, she would occasionally give him some food. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bian Yuanzhi had a good impression of her and would not call her a vixen behind her back like the other children in the village did.
Mdm Shen was slightly surprised to see Bian Yuanzhi, who had changed completely. She smiled and nodded at him before looking at Gu Yundong. âYou must be Miss Gu.â
âMiss Shen,â Gu Yundong said with a smile.
When Mdm Shen heard her address, she was still in a daze.
Ever since she became Gu Gangâs concubine, she had heard many vicious and unpleasant titles. The best was âMadam Shenâ.
It had been a long time since anyone called her Miss Shen.
Mdm Shen was a little moved. She secretly took a deep breath and said, âI donât have much time. Iâll make it short.â
âLetâs go to the room next door.â Gu Yundong asked Madam Yang to teach Bian Yuanzhi to solve the puzzle, and the three of them went to Shao Qingyuanâs room.
Originally, Shao Qingyuan could have gone to the Gu village to look for Mdm Shen. However, Gu Gangâs wife kept a close eye on her and was especially keen to find trouble with her. Just two days ago, when Shao Qingyuan went to look for her, he was almost seen by that woman.
Mdm Shen took the opportunity to go out. She even brought Gu Gangâs daughter-in-law, Mdm Yu, with her.
Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always been difficult to get along. Madam Yu and her mother-in-law had always been at odds. Now that she had Madam Shen as her second mother-in-law, wouldnât she be close to her so that they could deal with the mother-in-law together?
After the three of them sat down, Mdm Shen asked, âWhat do you want me to do?â
âWhat can you do?â
Mdm Shen sneered. âAs long as Gu Gang receives retribution, I can do anything..â
