After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

On the dim path of the Hunting Palace, Mrs. Shen held her daughter's hand and analyzed Lu Yan's various advantages with great sincerity, which showed that she sincerely liked this future son-in-law.

Shen Ruoyan's ears felt like calluses growing out of her ears.

Mrs. Shen didn't realize it at all. At the end of the sentence, she became interested and said:

"If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely be crying and shouting that I wanted to marry him, and there would be nothing wrong with your father."

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan felt really miserable.

What is true love in times of adversity?

In her previous life, she had trusted Lu Yan when she was in trouble, and that was why she ended up in such a miserable end.

No matter how good Lu Yan is to her now, all the hardships in the previous life have been deeply ingrained in Shen Ruoyan's bones. She will never forget the pain and despair.

Not wanting to continue talking about Lu Yan with her mother, Shen Ruoyan asked casually:

"By the way, mother, where did the sachet you are wearing on your waist today come from?"

She clearly remembered that her mother did not bring the sachet with her when she went out in the morning. Who gave her the sachet?

If we could know the origin of this sachet, could we follow the clues to find the person who wanted to harm my mother?

"That sachet was given by the Imperial Concubine." Mrs. Shen recalled, "When we were picking fruits in the forest, we would inevitably encounter some small insects. The Imperial Concubine was considerate and had some sachets made, which contained too much. The hospital specially prepared fragrant powder, which is very effective in repelling mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and each of us was given one."

"Given it to the imperial concubine?!"

Shen Ruoyan was shocked, she didn't expect that this matter would involve the imperial concubine.

There is no queen in the Holy Emperor, so all matters in the harem should be completely controlled by the imperial concubine.

Shen Ruoyan really couldn't understand why this most noble woman in Daning had any reason to attack the families of two ministers?

Mrs. Shen saw that her daughter's face was a little unnatural, she put away her playful expression, and asked in a low voice with a serious face:

"Is there something wrong with the sachet?"

Mrs. Shen was not stupid, but the situation was urgent and she didn't have time to ask.Now that I think about it, there must be something fishy about her daughter's deliberate attempt to take away the sachets from her and Mrs. Li's waists.

Shen Ruoyan knew that her mother was timid and docile. Even if she encountered a small thing, she would have to think about it for several days and couldn't sleep well. She didn't want her mother to worry, so Shen Ruoyan pretended to be relaxed and said:

"It's okay, mother, don't think too much about it."

But Mrs. Shen is not so easy to fool. If there is really no problem with the sachet, Ayan will not ask herself specifically.

Mrs. Shen raised her eyes, looked around cautiously, leaned into her daughter's ear, and whispered:

"Is it the imperial concubine, she..."

Shen Ruoyan quickly interrupted her mother:

"Mother, to tell you the truth, I broke those two sachets, so I came to ask if they were anything important. If Mrs. Li values ​​them, we still have to compensate them."

"It's just a sachet. If it's really a valuable thing, Li's sister-in-law won't care about you even with her cheerful temper." Mrs. Shen knew that her daughter was deliberately interrupting, and asked more thoroughly, "Tell me the truth, it's Didn’t you find something wrong with the sachet?”

Seeing that her mother didn't believe her words at all, Shen Ruoyan felt a little guilty and sighed, saying:

"Actually, at first I also suspected that there was something wrong with the sachet, so I took the sachet from you and Mrs. Li away. After you left, I went back to try it, and then I realized that it was my daughter who was overthinking the tiger. Not interested in the smell of the sachet at all.

I didn't tell you about this just now because I was worried that if you found out, you would blame your daughter for not knowing the seriousness and taking risks, so I hid it.Mom, don’t worry. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen completely dispelled her doubts.

Today, Mrs. Shen is extremely happy that her daughter can let the horse out in a critical moment and risk her life to verify her guess.

Touching Shen Ruoyan's hair, Mrs. Shen sighed:

"Our Ayan has really grown up! But if there is a next time, you must not risk your own life, you know?"

"Mom, do you want another time?"

Shen Ruoyan opened her eyes wide and smiled naughtily and cutely.

"Have you learned how to find fault with your mother?"

Mrs. Shen smiled and tried to pinch Shen Ruoyan's ears, but Shen Ruoyan hurriedly avoided it with a smile.

"Mother, it was my daughter who was wrong, please forgive me."

The mother and daughter returned to their yard chatting and laughing. They saw candles still burning in the front hall and could still hear faint voices. Mrs. Shen asked her daughter to support her. When she walked in, she found Mr. Shen was standing there. Drink tea with Grandma Gui.

Shen Ruoyan was shocked.

Aunt Gui is the old man who has been waiting beside the imperial concubine before she entered the palace. She can be said to be the most trusted person of the imperial concubine Xuan.

Having just learned that the sachet was a gift from the imperial concubine, and now seeing Aunt Gui appearing here, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but cheer up.

What does the imperial concubine want to do when she sends Aunt Gui here at this time?

Mrs. Shen didn't know anything about it, so she walked in with Shen Ruoyan, greeted Aunt Gui with a smile:

"Oh, Aunt Gui, why are you here?"

"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen is finally back!" Aunt Gui put down the tea cup in her hand and greeted Mrs. Shen with a smile, "The noble concubine heard that you were injured today and was really worried. She specially sent her slaves to come to you. Say hello."

"Your Majesty, please take the trouble. My daughter and I are fine." Mrs. Shen sat down next to Aunt Gui and asked Master Shen with a hint of reproach, "How long has Aunt Gui been here? Why didn't anyone come to inform her? Say it to me!"

Before Master Shen could speak, Mrs. Shen turned to Aunt Gui and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Although Aunt Gui is just a servant, she represents the imperial concubine behind her. Mrs. Shen's attitude is very polite.

Aunt Gui smiled very kindly and said:

"Mrs. Shen is so polite. I heard that Mrs. Shen is taking care of Mr. Lu. I asked you not to disturb you. I don't have much, but I have a lot of time. I can rest here and have a sip of tea with Mr. Shen. I am the one who told you not to disturb you. blessing."

Aunt Gui said, glanced at Shen Ruoyan who was standing next to Mrs. Shen, and asked with a smile:

"I heard that Miss Shen was almost injured by the tiger. The imperial concubine was very worried. I wonder if Miss Shen was injured?"

After hearing what Aunt Gui said, Shen Ruoyan's heart sank.

Since the imperial concubine knew that she was almost injured by the tiger, she must have understood the situation at the scene.

This made Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but think of the missing sachet again, and she always felt that there was something profound in the way Aunt Gui looked at her just now.

I'm afraid that Aunt Gui's visit this time is just a pretense.

Her real purpose was to test herself to see if she had discovered the secret of the sachet?
