Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 143 Capital City (2)

Zhu Jintang nodded: "Your natal family's affairs are also important, not to mention that the elders have written letters, so it's not good if you don't go. In the next two days, you should start preparing."

Don't think too much, the elders must agree.

Shen Yuechen agreed with a smile.

Seeing her happy face, Zhu Jintang smiled lightly.

After lunch, Zhu Jintang rested for a while, then went out again.

Shen Yuechen was about to take a nap when she heard someone running in from outside and said: "Grandma, someone from the South Court came to report that Aunt Sun just hanged herself and almost lost her life."

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen frowned, stood up and asked, "How is she?"

The maid gasped and said, "Fortunately, the maids found out in time, and they didn't hurt their lives, but their neck was strangled. Grandma, do you want to... go and have a look."

Shen Yuechen nodded helplessly: "When something like this happens, I will naturally go over and have a look. You let the people below keep their mouths shut, and don't let the elders know."

After not seeing each other for several months, Shen Yuechen cared much less about Mrs. Sun. Ever since she became infatuated, she has been in that delirious state every day.

It was clearly daytime, but Mrs. Sun's room was extremely dark, all the windows were covered with thick curtains, almost no light could come in.The room was fully furnished, but there was only one candle emitting a faint light.

Sun Wenpei was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, even her lips were white, and there was a deep red scar on her exposed neck, which was clearly a strangulation.

Seeing Shen Yuechen, she couldn't help being startled.

Long time no see, Sun Wenpei was so skinny that he was lying there like a paper man.

The maid who was usually in charge of taking care of the Sun family cautiously stepped forward and said, "Huan'er, my maidservant, pays my respects to grandma."

Shen Yuechen glanced at her, and only asked: "How do you serve her? It's so good, it almost killed me."

Yun'er, whom Mrs. Sun served in the past, is not here, only her fresh face.

After Huan'er heard this, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit her mistake: "This servant is guilty of failing to serve Aunt Sun well..."

Hearing her tone, Shen Yuechen was obviously hesitant to speak, so he knew what she had in mind.

Sun Wenpei is not a normal person, so he is naturally not as easy to serve as ordinary people.

Shen Yuechen continued: "How is Mrs. Sun recently? Have you taken your medicine on time?"

Huan'er knelt on the ground and sighed softly: "Since Aunt Sun moved to the south courtyard, her spirit has become worse and worse. Every day she is crying, or making a fuss, saying a lot of stupid things... What are you talking about?" Grandma, you stole her son away with Aunt Qin. The doctor prescribed tranquilizers and took them three times a day, but it didn’t work. Aunt Sun was asleep, but once she woke up, she would make a fuss... ...Miss Yun'er has been sick for the past two days, and the maidservant is too busy to take care of the aunt alone, and the auntie touched the maidservant again today and scratched the maidservant, so the maidservant went out to apply medicine... Who knows, that's it After a while, Aunt Sun will..."

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her body trembled slightly.

After hearing this, Shen Yuechen asked lightly, "Did Aunt Sun scratch you?"

Huan'er bit her lip and nodded, rolled up her sleeves lightly, revealing her arm scratched by Sun, there were streaks of blood on it, it was really badly hurt.

Shen Yuechen frowned slightly: "Go down and apply some medicine."

When Huan'er heard this, her eyes were sore, she hurriedly thanked her, and quietly backed out.

Shen Yuechen turned to look at Sun Wenpei who was on the bed, and silently shook his head.

The little maid next to her took out the pill prescribed by the doctor, gently put it into Sun Wenpei's mouth, and slowly swallowed it with water.

Xia's mother who rushed over later was shocked when she learned that Mrs. Sun had caused such a thing, and then sighed again and again: "I thought it would be better for her to be quiet, but I didn't expect her to be so confused!"

Shen Yuechen said indifferently: "She is a sick person, and her mood is naturally different. It is better to send someone to take care of her. Fortunately, she was in time today, otherwise, something serious will happen."

Mother Xia nodded again and again, but couldn't help but said: "Grandma, it's not a solution for Aunt Sun to go on like this, why don't you think of a way..."

Recently, the Zhu family has had enough troubles, and they can no longer worry about it because of this crazy woman, Mrs. Sun.

Shen Yuechen looked at Mama Xia quietly, "What do you think?"

Mother Xia pondered for a while before she said: "Your maidservant thinks, Auntie Sun makes such trouble every day, so everyone should be reminded to be afraid. Although the South Courtyard is remote, but still lives in the concubine's room of the old man, Auntie Sun makes such trouble every day, and it won't last long. The plan. The servant girl thought, should I bring Aunt Sun’s natal family and let them take Aunt Sun back first, and wait for her to recover from her illness..."

Before Shen Yuechen could finish her sentence, she raised her hand to stop her.

Mother Xia's words sound nice, but she means to drive Sun Wenpei out of Zhu's house.

Sun Wenpei was born in an ordinary family, with two brothers, three sisters and a younger brother. In the early years, he was photographed by the Li family in the Huashen Temple, and because of his innocent background, all of them were bought back by the Zhu family.

Shen Yuechen had never seen Sun Wenpei's natal family, but had heard of many.There is no doubt that they have only one purpose every time they come to visit, asking for money!

How could the family who sold their daughter cruelly at the beginning be willing to take care of her kindly now?

Shen Yuechen shook her head silently, sending her back to her natal family was equivalent to pushing her into a fire pit, and Zhu Jintang would not agree to such a thing.

Shen Yuechen looked at Mother Xia's face, and said in a deep voice: "Since she has already entered the Zhu family, she is a member of the Zhu family, how can you send her back to her natal family? Mother Xia, I hope you will not mention this kind of thing in the future. .”

Mother Xia's expression froze when she heard the words, and she immediately responded: "Yes, this servant knows."

Shen Yuechen immediately ordered: "Send two more servant girls to Mrs. Sun's side, twelve hours a day, and there must be no one around."

Although it is cruel to let her live, I have no right to kill her life.Even if it's for Yaya, she has to live well.

Because of Sun's matter, Shen Yuechen was in a bad mood all afternoon, especially after Yaya was brought by the wet nurses, seeing the child's face made her want to go to Sun Wenpei involuntarily.

Yaya is almost six months old, she is white and clean, with exquisite features, she looks like a beauty when she grows up.She has almost inherited all of Sun Wenpei's advantages, Shen Yuechen hugged her soft body, and only hoped that when she grows up, she will not be as miserable as Sun, who likes to turn heads.

In the evening, Zhu Jintang brought Shen Yuechen over to give the elders some peace of mind, and incidentally mentioned the matter of going to Beijing.

Mr. Zhu naturally had no objection, and replied lightly: "It's time to go and have a look, hurry up and prepare, and go when you are ready."

Naturally, the old lady did not object, but told them to be careful along the way and not to rush on their way too impatiently.

Li Shi immediately thought of the Ruan family, and temporarily proposed to go to Beijing with the children.First, you can congratulate your in-laws in person, and second, you can go and see Zhu Yuanlan.

When Zhu Jun heard this, he was overjoyed, thinking that this was the best way.When the head room is gone, it's time for the second room to show off.

It's a pity, the old lady pondered slightly: "There are a lot of things at home recently, you two should stay at home, and let's take a look at it after the Dragon Boat Festival."

The family can't have no one to take charge of the overall situation, not to mention, the shop is full of things right now, so no one can make the decisions.

Zhu Feng also felt that what his mother said was reasonable, he looked at Li Shi and said, "Don't be troublesome, the young couple is going out, what shall we do with you, you'd better stay at home and take care of Brother Ming."

Li Shi nodded slightly, and continued to lower her eyes in silence.

Disappointed, Zhu Jun picked up the teacup again with displeasure on his face, and drank a big mouthful of tea to calm his anger.

After dinner, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen walked side by side to the west courtyard.

Shen Yuechen didn't mention Sun's suicide attempt to Zhu Jintang, she didn't want to disturb him, and didn't want to delay her trip to the capital.

Zhu Jintang didn't notice that she was worried, so he just lay down and fell asleep.Perhaps, because of being too tired, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and even snored slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen couldn't help smiling, covered him with the quilt, turned around and took another look at Brother Ming before he fell asleep.

Going to the capital here, according to the intention of the old lady and Li Shi, is to let Shen Yuechen decide on his own, and prepare everything according to his own wishes.

Shen Yuechen happily agreed, and immediately started to prepare.However, Mrs. Li still personally prepared some things, most of which were return gifts for friends in Beijing and China, and some gifts were specially prepared to honor the Ruan family.

Shen Yuechen sent someone to collect the presents properly, and then went to the cashier to collect the money in person.

When going out, safety comes first, and money is the key.

Before Shen Yuechen could enter the door, he heard the crackling sound of abacus coming from the room.

Guanshi Tong, who was in charge of managing the accounting room, saw Shen Yuechen coming here in person, and hurriedly got up to greet him, with a respectful expression, slightly lowered his head, and said, "Greetings to Grandma."

Shen Yuechen had only been to the accounting room once before, and he was still with Li Shi. The tables and chairs in the room were tidy, and everything was cleaned up and down. The solid wood cabinets are so tall, and each door is firmly locked with a large lock.

There are two long desks, on which books of different colors are neatly stacked in order, next to them are pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and an abacus made of Tan wooden beads.

Guanshi Tong, who manages the accounting room, is also a decent servant in the Zhu family. However, he is not a slave of the Zhu family, and has not signed a contract of sale or other documents. He only works in the Zhu family for money.

When Shen Yuechen first found out about Guanshi Tong, she was very surprised and thought, how could the Zhu family let a free man manage such an important place as the accounting room, and if he had something wrong, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Then, Shen Yuechen found out later that Mr. Zhu had been kind to Tong Guanshi, and Tong Guanshi was also in order to repay his kindness, so he worked hard in Zhu's family for 20 years.

Shen Yuechen looked at Guanshi Tong, smiled slightly and said, "I came here without prior notice, didn't I bother you?"

Guanshi Tong shook his head repeatedly, and led the two young men behind him to greet Shen Yuechen.

There are not many people in the account room, only the three of them, but the silver taels under management are tens of thousands of taels.

Shen Yuechen raised her hand, took out the pair of cards Li Shi gave her, handed it to Guanshi Tong, and said calmly: "My uncle and I are going north to Beijing in a few days, so I want to come here to raise some money."
