Chapter 868 - 870: Confession (5)
"Sure!"
Cai Wei rubbed his little head, smiling at him with eyes squinted contentedly. It was obvious the little guy had been doing well at the Nursing Homes, dressed neat and clean, not to mention his hair was smooth and tidy, not a bit greasy.
"Then, what about Xi Niu and Zhao Di, can they go too?" Gou Dan’er asked anxiously.
"Of course, they can. Sister Juhua already said we’d all go," Shen Juhua bent down, pinched Gou Dan’er’s nose, and then scooped him up into the carriage.
Everyone boarded the carriage, off to the city in high spirits.
With these people around, Cai Wei felt relaxed. Suddenly, she remembered the domineering concubine and the sister born of a concubine in the Shen Family, and couldn’t help but gossip, "Juhua, how’s your Aunt Yan back at home?"
Shen Juhua pursed her lips and said, "She’s dead."
"Oh!" Cai Wei understood and didn’t inquire further.
Aunt Yan had deceived Lord Shen County by switching children, making him raise someone else’s daughter and son for years, and almost turned him against his legal wife and daughter. What’s worse, she drugged Lord Shen County so he could never have children again. Although Lord Shen County had left behind Shen Juhua as his progeny, a daughter would eventually belong to another family, not comparable to a son, so Lord Shen County must have eliminated her ruthlessly, certainly not sparing her life.
She wondered where those two spoiled fat boys were now and that arrogant Shen Furong, who was said to be marrying into the Bianzhou Prefecture Mansion as a secondary wife. She wondered if the marriage had taken place by now.
She definitely had to ask Juhua about these things tonight...
Qing County City was still as prosperous as ever, bustling even at night, busier than during the day. Food stalls were set up alongside the street, and many people who had finished their dinner strolled leisurely through the night market, occasionally stopping in front of a stall to look at the goods for sale.
