After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Soon the gentle woman followed the shopkeeper and walked out.

She was wearing an apron, and she was carrying a child behind her. Her hands were wet, and she was obviously working behind her.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan looking at her with a smile, and then finding her mother-in-law sitting on the ground, the woman quickly wiped her hands on her apron, helped the old lady up, and asked anxiously:

"What's wrong, girl? Mother-in-law, what are you doing sitting on the ground? It's cold, so get up quickly."

Shen Ruoyan explained the matter simply, and deliberately concealed the fact that the shopkeeper wanted to marry her as a concubine. After all, any wife would not be happy when she heard that her husband wanted to marry a concubine.

After understanding what happened, the woman apologized to Shen Ruoyan:

"Girl, I'm so sorry. As businessmen, of course we have to keep our word, but it's really unbearable to spend such a large sum of money. That's why my husband and mother-in-law are so anxious."

The woman's voice is not pleasant, but the tone of her voice makes people feel comfortable listening to it.

After the woman apologized, she continued:

"But we are in business and we must not break our word. Since my husband has said that he would give it to you, of course these fabrics should be given to you."

Shen Ruoyan shook her hand happily and said:

"Forget it, for your sake, you don't need to send me the fabric."

She deliberately called this woman out just to create a scene for her, hoping that through this incident, her husband would treat her better in the future.

As soon as he heard Shen Ruoyan's words, the shopkeeper immediately raised his fat head.

He couldn't understand why the little girl who was holding on to him just now became so talkative when she got to her wife's place.

Shen Ruoyan continued:

"But you have to give us these materials according to the purchase price, how about that?"

The shopkeeper wanted to say something else, but the woman spoke first:

"That's natural. I wonder which ones you are interested in? I will definitely pay you the purchase price."

Shen Ruoyan's eyes showed secret approval, and she admired this woman more and more, and said:

"Okay! Why don't you help me choose."

The woman knew that Mrs. Li was buying clothing materials for the servants of the mansion, so she chose an affordable dark red material and explained:

"This material is made of cotton. It is not only breathable, but also very strong. The color is also festive. It is suitable for making clothes for the servants of your house. The purchase price of this batch of material is 642 Wen, so I will give you 640 Wen per piece. The price of the purchased goods is recorded in the account book. If you don’t believe it, I can get it and show it to you.”

After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan admired this woman even more, thinking that if she could open a store in the future, it would be great if she could hire such a capable clerk.

Shen Ruoyan asked Mrs. Li's opinion again.

Mrs. Li nodded, "Okay, let's buy this one."

When checking out, Shen Ruoyan pulled the woman to her side and quietly told her her true identity.

"If he bullies you again in the future, you should come to see me in Shangshu Mansion. Don't just swallow your anger. I will support you if anything happens."

I don't know which words touched her heart, and the woman's eyes instantly turned red.

Losing his usual calmness, he opened his mouth, whimpered a few times, and then swallowed forcefully.

Shen Ruoyan held the woman's hand and patted it.

She also understands this kind of pain. After surviving alone for so long, someone suddenly cares about her, which can break her defense.

Shen Ruoyan took Mrs. Li's arm and walked out of the clothing shop happily.

On the other side of the general's mansion, Lu Yan was reading in the study when a man in black suddenly jumped down from the roof.

Anyone else would have been frightened, but Lu Yan sat motionless on the chair without even raising his eyelids.

Wei Xu, who was dressed in black, stood in front of the desk and patted the dust on his body, thinking that it was time to clean the roof of the young master's study.

Lu Yan looked at the book, but he couldn't wait to hear Wei Xu's report, but he only saw Wei Xu lingering on the spot, patting his arms and legs, making the elegant study room full of dust. Talk about business.

Lu Yan finally couldn't help but ask, "Did she return home safely?"

Wei Xu then stood still and reported: "After Miss Shen went out, she went to the dental shop first."

Lu Yan put down the book in his hand and asked, "Does she want to buy a house?"

Wei Xu shook his head: "Miss Shen just asked about renting a shop, and then went to a clothing store."

Later, Wei Xu explained in detail what happened in the cloth shop. At the end, he took the initiative to ask Ying and said:

"Young Master, would you like me to go to the shop tonight and teach the shopkeeper a lesson?"

"It doesn't matter, she has her own reasons for handling it this way." When it came to Shen Ruoyan, Lu Yan's expression became softer unconsciously, "How was the investigation of the matter I told you last time?"

Wei Xu put away his playful expression and replied: "Our people have infiltrated the Qingyan Gang, but the mysterious man who asked them to kidnap Miss Shen never showed up.

I also checked the sachet you gave me with someone who is proficient in herbal medicine.It is filled with ordinary herbs such as Cangshu, Angelica dahurica, and Perrin. Hanging it on the body can indeed repel mosquitoes and avoid snakes, but there is nothing special about it. "

After Lu Yan heard this, his slender fingers tapped gently on his left shoulder habitually. After thinking for a while, he asked again:

"Have you checked out the private village near Qingyang Lie?"

Wei Xu took out a map from his pocket, spread it out on the desk, pointed to the markings on it, and said:

"Young Master, look, the crosses marked on them are the locations of all private villages within 300 miles of Qingyang Hunting Ground."

Although he didn't know why the young master asked him to investigate this, Wei Xu had been on horseback every day these days and spent a lot of effort to collect this information.

Lu Yan looked at the map for a moment, picked up a pen and circled a few places on it, saying:

"Check these places carefully."

Wei Xu accepted the order and said, "Yes."

After giving all the instructions, seeing Wei Xu still standing there, looking like he was hesitant to speak, Lu Yan turned his head and glanced at him, "Is there anything else?"

Wei Xu touched his head and asked embarrassedly:

"Young Master, the makeup on your face..."

How did the young master's handsome face turn into such a ghostly appearance?

At first glance, Wei Xu thought the young master was seriously injured and was shocked. Later, he discovered that the young master's face was a disguise.

Lu Yan touched his face and then remembered that he had not yet wiped off the make-up on his face due to his illness.

No wonder Wei Xu looked like he had seen a ghost just now.

Lu Yan gave a faint "hmm" in embarrassment as an answer.

The inscrutable look made Wei Xu think that the young master was arranging something important again.

What he couldn't guess no matter how hard he guessed was that the makeup on his young master's face was just to coax the little girl to feel more sorry for him.
