After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Putting away the memories of her previous life, Shen Ruoyan smiled at her mother, "Mom, don't worry. Since we can't do anything now, you might as well relax and recuperate at home. I believe that dad has never done anything to the country. It only takes a while for this matter to be harmful to the people to be brought to light, and daddy will be cleared."

Mrs. Shen didn't want to just stay at home like this, but she had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "It doesn't matter if you come back. Thanks to your sister-in-law's support, the house has not become a mess these days. Now. When you come back, go and help your sister-in-law, it’s all your mother’s fault…”

"Mom, what are you talking about? Just leave the outside matters to us. You can just relax and recuperate. I'll go back and change my clothes and go to my sister-in-law's house to see if I need any help."

Shen Ruoyan agreed and said some words to comfort her mother before retreating from Mrs. Shen's room.

Although she said she couldn't do anything about Mr. Shen's case, it was definitely not Shen Ruoyan's character to just wait.

As soon as Shen Ruoyan went out, she winked at Qin'er who had been waiting at the door, called the little girl to her side, and whispered: "Qin'er, go and find out for me whether there are any ladies in the city in the past few days. Ladies’ party.”

Qin'er gave Shen Ruoyan a strange look, wondering how the young lady could still be in the mood to attend the party after such a big thing happened at home, but she still nodded and left quickly.

Watching Qin'er's leaving back, Shen Ruoyan stood alone in the courtyard and raised her head. On a crisp autumn day, the sun was shining straight down from the cloudless sky. Although she was standing under the bright sunshine, she still felt A bit cold.

Shen Ruoyan slowly raised her arms and hugged herself, took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and silently encouraged herself.

She is no longer the self-pitying self she was in her last life. Although her father is imprisoned in Dali Temple now, it is at least better than the last time when her family was suddenly ransacked. She must do something to prevent the Shen family from repeating the same mistakes as in her previous life.

I went back to my room and washed up. Ever since my father was imprisoned in Dali Temple, no news has come out. The first thing I have to do is to find a way to meet my father and ask him what the matter is. Whatever the inside story is, they can figure it out together.

Now that Mr. Li is not in the capital, he has lost a lot of help. Shen Ruoyan quickly calculated the connections she could use, and suddenly thought of a person.

In the last porridge donation event, Mrs. Wang, the minister of Dali Temple, was also one of the organizers. After getting along with her, Shen Ruoyan felt that she was a cheerful and funny person. If she could find a chance to meet her, she might be able to ask her to help. The lobbyist asked the Dali Temple Qing to open his eyes and allow him to see his father.

For things like asking for gossip, Qin'er is very efficient. She is on good terms with the maids of various families, and all kinds of news are at her fingertips. Shen Ruoyan didn't wait long before she saw the little girl running back excitedly. .

"Miss, I heard about it, I heard about it." Qin'er took two breaths before continuing, "Recently, because of the disaster relief incident, no one dared to hold any big banquets."

Seeing her young lady frowning, Qin'er immediately said, "But there will be a chrysanthemum appreciation party tomorrow, and ladies and ladies from all over the capital have been invited, but..."

When Shen Ruoyan heard Qin'er's few words, there were so many twists and turns, she couldn't wait any longer and asked anxiously: "Just what?"

Qin'er glanced at Shen Ruoyan, opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time and finally said, "It's just that this banquet is hosted by the Taifu's Mansion."

Because of Su Xihe and her young lady's kindness, Qin'er certainly didn't want Shen Ruoyan to go to the Taifu's house to ask for trouble. Even in normal times, the people in the Su family would not have a good look towards the young lady, not to mention that the master is in trouble now. , there is no guarantee that the Su family will not deliberately embarrass the young lady.

Shen Ruoyan looked calm, "Chrysanthemum appreciation banquet? I don't remember when the Su family started to like chrysanthemums?"

Qin'er had no choice but to tell all the information she had learned, "Tomorrow is Mrs. Su's birthday. She didn't dare to engage in extravagance and waste in the name of her birthday, so she invited ladies from various families to come to the house to view the chrysanthemums. To celebrate his birthday."

"It's a birthday party again." Shen Ruoyan muttered, holding her forehead.

It was at Mr. Li's birthday party last year that she formed a relationship with the Su family. She didn't expect that it would be a birthday party tomorrow.

"Miss, don't you want to..." Qin'er asked tentatively.

If the young lady is in a bad mood and wants to relax, she can go to the countryside to climb to the lake, or go to Fanlou to have a big meal. Why do she have to think so hard and go to the Taifu Mansion to find fault?

Shen Ruoyan smiled and nodded, "Yes, we will go to the Taifu's Mansion tomorrow."

After hearing this, the little girl immediately dropped her face and said sadly "Ah...".

"Oh, if you don't want to go, then I will go by myself tomorrow." Shen Ruoyan joked with a smile.

Qin'er immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, how can I trust you to go alone! Miss, why don't we bring more people, so that if anything happens, we won't suffer."

"We are here as guests tomorrow, not for a fight. What are we going to do with so many people? Besides, as you know, we can't find so many people in our house if we want to create a scene." Shen Ruoyan consoled her. , "Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. How about accompanying me to see Chun Niang now?"

Hearing that the young lady was going to see Chun Niang, the anguish on Qin'er's face dissipated a little. She helped Shen Ruoyan comb her hair into a new bun, and the two of them came to the door of Haohao Clothing Store together.

After not seeing each other for a while, Chun Niang became even more cheerful. She was busy greeting guests in the hall. From her words and deeds, there was no trace of her squatting in the alley and crying secretly. Shen Ruoyan stood in the crowd and looked at Chun Niang smiled.

Maybe she didn't expect her to come back so soon. Chun Niang was stunned, raised her eyes randomly, and signaled Shen Ruoyan to go to the second floor to talk.

Shen Ruoyan understood this and took Qin'er upstairs from the back stairs, and found that Chun Niang had already been waiting for them on the second floor.

"Wait a moment." Chun Niang said, mysteriously lifting two bricks on the wall, and under the stunned eyes of Shen Ruoyan and Qin'er, she pulled out a wooden box from the wall.

"Chun Niang didn't expect you to have such a skill." Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but tease, "Did Brother Wei teach you this method of hiding things?"

Chun Niang blushed, glanced at Shen Ruoyan angrily, pushed the wooden box in front of her, "Open it yourself and take a look."

Shen Ruoyan opened it curiously and found that there were several huge banknotes inside.
