Mu Qingzheng wanted to let Liang Youhui open it for everyone to see, but Jiang Shuangrui hurriedly said: "Who would open the gift when everyone hasn't left yet? Danzhu, you help the second young lady put it away first, and wait until tomorrow to wear it out for Madame Tai to see."

  Old Mrs. Tai listened and chuckled, patting Jiang Shuangrui's hand: "You child, it's rare to be so lively, if only you could accompany me every day like this."

  Jiang Shuangrui also laughed: "If I were to talk nonsense like this every day, you would be annoyed with me!"

  A pair of clever eyes seemed to be gazing at Shen Muqing with a hint of meaning.

  Shen Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment.

  Thought of several encounters with Jiang Shuang.

  Or is she the whitest person in this family?

  Shen Mu Qing found an opportunity to instruct Zhu Ji: "Later ask Bai Mu, where did the Third Young Master go?"

  A hint of surprise flashed across Zhen's face, but she still nodded and replied "yes".

  Shen Mu Qing was eating lunch with a calm and serene expression, when Zhu Ji hurried over and said: "Bai Mu said that Third Young Master didn't go out on New Year's Day, but went to the Deqing Hou Mansion on the second day of the new year, then went to the Fuma Mansion, where he stayed with Second Young Master until the hour of hai before coming out; On the third day, you returned to your maternal home..."

  "Where did you go today?" Shen Muqing interrupted Zhu Ji's muttering.

  Zhu Qi said with a calm and clear expression: "Third Master didn't go out today. He's in the flower house with Thirteenth Master of the Wei Manor, pruning camellias!"

  Shen Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment.

  ******

  In the evening, I returned to Die Cui Yuan. On the kang table, there was a red lacquer gold-plated box. Shouwu Di Liuchun smiled and bowed to Liang Youhui: "This is the thirteenth young master of the Wei Mansion who sent someone to deliver it as a birthday gift for the second lady."

  Liang Youhui listened and immediately retreated three feet, pointing at the box and saying: "Quickly throw it away for me!"

  Shen Mu Qing was taken aback and laughed: "Even if you don't like it, take a look at what it is before throwing it away, why are you so impatient!"

  "Last time on my birthday, he gave me a basket of toads... and scared me half to death."

  Shen Mu Qing was taken aback: "Thirteen Young Master wouldn't send you a basket of toads for no reason, would he?"

  "I, I heard that frogs are delicious, so I just mentioned it." Liang Youhui said with a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Who knew he sent me a basket of bullfrogs..."

  Shen Mu Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You're too daring, aren't you? You dare to eat anything... Thirteen Shao is the same, in winter when he couldn't find any frogs for you, he went and found a basket of dried clams..."

  "You're still smiling, you're still smiling!" Liang Youhui's face turned red as she pushed Shen Muqing, "He's been teasing me since he was a kid, I knew nothing good would come out of it..."

  Serene and clear eyes gaze around.

  Thought of Wei Thirteen accompanying Liang Jiemin in the flower house cutting flowers all day, laughing and calling out to Ying Fen: "Go take a look, what did Thirteen Shao bring over?"

  Ying burst out laughing and opened the box.

  Inside was a bright yellow branch of red gold hairpin.

  Shen Mu's heart was filled with joy, but her face showed a look of surprise and astonishment. She took the Ruyi hairpin under the lamp to examine it carefully: "Oh my, what is this?"

  Liang Youhui had already snatched the golden hairpin from her hand and with a "slap" sound, she flung both the scabbard and the hairpin away: "I knew it, Wei Thirteen has never been up to any good!"

  Shen Mu Qing was shocked and hastily picked up the golden hairpin. Thinking it was just a joke, he took Liang You Hui's hand: "It's all my fault..."

  Her words had just come out when Yu Hui's bean-sized eyes dropped tears: "What does this have to do with Third Aunt... Is Wei Thirteen laughing at me for being looked down upon?"

  Shen Mu Qing's face was calm and clear, but sweat broke out on his forehead.

  What's all this about... But now, in this situation, it's not the time to talk about this matter, and with her identity, it's also not suitable to say such things!

  She hugged Liang Youhui and sat down on the large kang by the window, smiling: "Alright, alright. Tomorrow I'll let your third brother give him a good scolding." Then she called Danzhu to come and help her wash her face.

  Liang Youhui washed her face again, and there was still a hint of anger in her expression.

  Shen Mu Qing's eyes swept over the yellow wooden box, and he coaxed her, "I don't know what Wan Qing sent over? Why don't we open it and take a look?"

  Liang Youhui's expression slightly cleared up, and she personally opened the yellow rattan box.

  Inside is about one chi high yellow warbler.

  Liáng Yòu Huì was taken aback and asked: "What is this?"

  Shen Mu Qing's expression was as cold as a winter's day after drinking a glass of cold water, exuding chilliness from the inside out.

  Others didn't know, but she did. It was like the small copper man that Liang Jimei gave yesterday, which could fight, all of them were toys with a wound-up spring inside.

  She mechanically took out the canary from the box and found a brass key at the bottom of the box.

  Shen Muqing found the small hole and inserted the key to turn it tight, then released it. The silver oriole suddenly jumped up from the kang.

  "Third sister is really clever!" Liang Youhui stretched out her hand to poke at the silver-yellow oriole jumping around on the kang, "How come I couldn't figure out how this was done?"

  Just then, a little maid whispered on the side: "This is just like the small copper man that Third Young Master gave to Third Young Madam yesterday, they can all move!"

  At night, she and Liang Youhui lay side by side, but couldn't sleep no matter what.

  It feels as heavy as a ton of bricks.

  If this feeling has already become a thing of the past, then one shouldn't continue to pursue it. But the question is, has this feeling really become a thing of the past? If Liang Jiemin never had any intention of giving up, then where does that put him? Everyone receives different educations and will have different views on things. To share a husband with another woman, she simply can't do it. And to expect men of this era not to take concubines seems impossible as well.

  All she asked for was a monogamous relationship for a period of time. Even if one day Liang Qiming took a concubine, she would consider herself divorced from this man and try to find a way to coexist peacefully...

  Shen Muqing decided to first figure out the current relationship between Feng Wanqing and Liang Jimin before doing anything else.

  She chatted with Leung Yiu Wai.

  "Wanqing's younger sister is ill, why don't we take some time to go visit her?"

  "It's better not to go!" Liang Youhui had played all day and was quite tired, she let out a yawn, "At that time, Auntie might say something in front of us about Fifth Sister being pregnant... it's probably even worse."

  "In a few days is the Lantern Festival. Why don't we send someone to invite her and have her come home to watch the lanterns!"

  Liang Youhui turned over, closed her eyes: "The public likes to have fun, that day the Feng family will definitely hold a lantern festival. If the fifth sister is ill, she naturally has to rest in bed and can't walk around at will. But if she's better, with so many things at home, how can she bear to say come and play? Forget it!"

  "If it's an official lantern festival, we might as well go and join in the fun!"

  Liang Youhui's voice was vague: "We ran to our grandfather's house to play, what about grandma?"

  Shen Mu couldn't help but smile.

  Blood is thicker than water... She may respect Madame Liang, but she lacks the kind of genuine care that Liang Youhui has.

  "What about February 2nd? On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head, it's a great time to go for a spring outing. At that time, let's invite Wanqing to go for a spring outing together?"

  Liang Youhui remained silent for a long time.

  Shen Mu Qing looked again and found that she had already started breathing evenly.

  Shen Mu Qing let out a long sigh, gazing blankly at the sachet hanging from the corner of the canopy.

  What does Feng Wanqing mean by giving this silver pendant to Liang Youhui? Is she trying to let her discover something through these subtle clues? Or is it "returning the pearl with tears"... Anyway, one thing Shen Muqing is very clear about. Firstly, the impact of this matter cannot be expanded, and secondly, no matter how unfavorable the situation develops for her, she cannot turn against Liang Jimin. Otherwise, this will become a death sentence for Li's family.

  She made up her mind and wanted to see Feng Wanqing even more strongly.

  Shen Muqing decided to make a move on Feng's body tomorrow.

  She was thinking, when someone knocked on the door lightly.

  Yueye quickly got up, put on her clothes and stuck to the fan door, asking in a low voice: "Who is it?"

  "I am Feng Yun!"

  Jing Bi opened the door: "What's going on? Third Young Mistress just fell asleep!"

  Ying was hastily dressed in a small jacket and carrying a sheep horn lantern, it could be seen that she had just gotten out of bed: "The night watchman's wife said that the mistress has arrived, she is now in Third Master's room, let Third Mistress get up quickly and hurry over."

  Shen Mu Qing suddenly sat up with a "ding" sound: "What happened?"

  "Has anyone come home?"

  Ying was taken aback for a moment before she understood what Shen Muqing meant, and she stuttered: "N-no, I don't know, I'll let Li Mama go ask!"

  In the middle of the night, the mother-in-law personally came to the daughter-in-law's room, probably because something big happened at her hometown...

  Ning Bi was also flustered, and from the corner of the wall, she picked up a white silk jacket from the fire basin cover and ran to the bedside to help Shen Muqing put it on.

  Shen Muqing had already gotten out of bed and was standing at the bedside, urging Ying Fen: "Hurry up! Ask clearly! Ask carefully!"

  The English translation is: "Ying responded in unison and left. Shen Muqing only then took the clothes from Ning Bi's hand and put them on, and said impatiently: 'Skirt, find a skirt for me to wear...'"

  Ning Bi let out a soft "tsk" sound, turned around and ran to the corner of the wall to find the peach-red skirt that had been draped over the brazier for Shen Muqing to warm up. She then ran back to the bedside and helped Shen Muqing put it on, before fetching a cloak with sable trim from the wardrobe. When she returned to the bedside, she found Shen Muqing still fumbling with his buttons. She hastily placed the cloak on the small stool in front of the bed and went to help Shen Muqing button up - only then did she notice that Shen Muqing's hands were shaking violently.

  "Don't worry!" Ning Bi couldn't help but whisper to comfort Shen Muqing, "Madam still wants to see her daughter grow up and have children of her own, she still wants to hold her grandchildren! Nothing will happen!"

  Shen Muqing's tears burst out suddenly.

  It was easy to collect everything, but Yingfen was nowhere to be seen. Shen Mu took a deep breath and walked out the door with Cong Bi's lantern in hand.

  The courtyard is quiet and still, with bright moonlight shining on the eaves, treetops, and ground, making it exceptionally bright and serene.
