Chapter Nineteen

After returning from Qi's house to his small yard, Shu Ying never left his house again.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li and other wives from Miyi Lane came to look for Shu Ying outside the yard and wanted to ask her how she got out of the Qi family and how her condition was now, but Shu Ying seemed to have heard nothing and had no intention of opening the door to pay attention. The women in Miyi Lane gradually began to feel resentful towards her, thinking that she, a little girl who had just arrived for a long time, did not understand the world at all!

On the third day after returning from Qi's house, the sky was slightly heavy.

The women in Miyi Lane were thinking that they should go to Qi's house to see him and ask about Concubine Qi's condition. Naturally, they passed by Shu's yard.

"Madam Li, should we call Miss Shu?" A woman hesitantly looked at the closed gate of the courtyard, and said with some anxiety: "That day... but we abandoned her and left first!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she glanced at the direction of the talking woman and asked with a sneer: "What? Do you regret it now?"

When the woman heard this, she looked at Mrs. Li's cold gaze and suddenly felt panicked. She quickly lowered her head and did not dare to look at her again: "No...No, Mrs. Li, you misunderstood. I just think it's better for us to call Miss Shu!"

"Call her? Do you think she will be so easy to cheat? Will it be the same as last time?" Mrs. Li sneered at the woman, then turned her eyes to Shu Ying's yard, and said with a sneer: "This girl has a stubborn temper. She has been hiding since she came back from Qi's house. She asked us to come in and the news from Qi's house was not revealed. If we don't go and see, who knows what will happen to Mrs. Qi? As for Miss Shu, since she is so ungrateful, let her cry at home by herself! It is a little credit to help us turn the attention of the Qi's family away. Just wait for her to go out, so don't alienate her!"

Several women nodded timidly, not daring to say anything more.

Mrs. Zhang, wearing a shaking stairs, stood in front of the team, looked at Mrs. Li with a graceful expression, and said lightly: "Don't talk too much nonsense here. It's getting late. Let's go to Qi's house earlier and make up for the bad impression we left last time."

Mrs. Li nodded quickly, raised her smile and headed towards the direction of the Qi family with Mrs. Zhang, and she was still a little nervous.

When they heard that Mrs. Qi was sick, they were indeed thinking about the familiar relationship that everyone knew on weekdays. They wanted to visit her and find some comfort from others' pain. Everyone had the same little thoughts, and they did not reveal them.

But what everyone didn't expect was that when they went to Qi's house, they found that Mrs. Qi lived a better life at home than they imagined, and the couple was even more loving. How could they have the sadness they imagined? In addition, Mrs. Qi's children were also well-behaved and upright and grand, which made everyone's hearts balance?

Which of the women who come out to chat every day in Miyi Lane is not a tranquility at home, so they avoid it, swallow their bitterness and smile sweetly in front of others, and create a fantasy for themselves?

Therefore, when the third lady of the Qi family refused to visit Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang, who were jealous in their hearts, scolded the third lady of the Qi family without hesitation, and then they cursed a little more after the unfair resentment in their hearts was blown away?

For the women in Miyi Lane, they would rent a house here to settle down. They were either businessmen without backgrounds or some down-and-out families who had left here in other places. Even though the Qi family had a business in Ziyang County, they had never moved out. Isn’t it because the family was definitely not rich, so they couldn’t leave? With such a background, everyone is the same as others, and I really never thought about who would have a higher identity, which is the wealthier level of the family.

But Mrs. Li had sharp eyes and went into Mrs. Qi's house to visit her. While she was speaking, she accidentally saw an untied letter pressing on the corner of the table in Mrs. Qi's house. She saw the name on the seal and the title of the letter that raised her head.

The first sentence of the letter is that my sister is well!

The signature is my brother, Yunde.

And that bright red private seal is the source of Mrs. Li's fear.

It is said that Mrs. Li's family also came from another place, and it took only two years to settle in Miyi Lane. Two years ago, she was considered an official wife. Although her husband's rank is not high and his position is not heavy, but with an official position, everything is naturally different.

And the reason why her family lost this official position was just a trivial matter!

This is when Mrs. Li's husband took back an extremely important letter from Shangguan and left it missing in the study.

Mrs. Li still remembers how much energy the whole family spent on searching for the book when she lost the book. It was because she had sent chicken soup to the study that night, and her husband scolded her, almost letting her take the blame for stealing the letters and want to leave her back to her parents' home.

From that day on, the Li family also died of illness and several servants. In the end, they could not withstand the pressure from the superiors. After disbanding their wealth, Mrs. Li's family finally suffered only one dismissal, and then the whole family came to Ziyang County.

When I was looking for a letter, almost everyone in the family was asked to remember the appearance of the bright red seal below the letter. It was precisely because this incident was very big in the Li family that the appearance of the bright red seal was deeply engraved in Mrs. Li's mind and will never be forgotten for life.

So, when he saw the shape of the seal on the letter, Mrs. Li immediately became panicked and contacted the title again. How could Mrs. Li not understand something?

Therefore, Mrs. Li, who was afraid that Miss Qi San would complain to them again and made Mrs. Qi angry, immediately began to think about how to deal with it. As a result, her eyes turned around. When she saw Shu Yan in an instant, a thought flashed through Mrs. Li's mind, and then she pushed her out without hesitation.

Shu Ying had known them for not long, and she had no background alone. In addition, she could make ointments, so they pushed her out. On the one hand, she had the motivation to come to visit Mrs. Qi in an instant. On the other hand, she gave Shu Ying a chance to show her face, which could also be considered as helping Shu Ying. In the end, they could use this reason to directly retire and leave the Qi family quickly, and even sold a huge favor to other wives in Miyi Lane. Why not do this?
