Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 301 Famous Detective

Before he finished speaking, Cui Shuhua's voice came over, followed by Guizhi, who tried to stop her but failed: "I came at the right time. What does Second Sister-in-law want to say to me?"

"aunt."

"aunt."

"Yes." Cui Shuhua calmly walked straight to the bedside and sat down. After looking at Zhao Yue for a while, she said, "What's wrong with you, second sister-in-law? You look fine. What did you want to say just now? I'm all ears."

She didn't even place any of her own people at home in Qinghe, and she was just staying at the Cui Mansion for a while, so she wouldn't bother placing any people there. Therefore, she really didn't know how Zhao Yue could be so stupid as to end up like this just by eating a grape.

Zhao Yue nearly bit her tongue and forced a smile. "It's nothing. I just got injured while practicing martial arts. I need to rest for a month or so. Yi'er was worried that I wouldn't be able to teach Madam Jiang the ways of housekeeping, so I thought of entrusting it to you..."

"Oh?"

Cui Shuhua didn't believe it and naturally wouldn't agree.

How comfortable would it be to lie down every day without having to work?

She was lucky enough to have accepted one job, but she couldn't even think of taking on another one. "Second sister-in-law is such a skilled martial artist, how could she still get injured? It seems the martial arts of the Dunhuang Zhao family aren't that great either."

She glanced at Jiang Shangxian, who was looking down and pretending to be obedient. "Besides, isn't Second Sister-in-law teaching her how to manage the household? Why would she go off to practice martial arts when she's in the right place? Could it be that she caused your injury?"

Oh my God!

Xiao Jiang even wanted to give her a thumbs up - you are a famous detective - Shuhua.

The atmosphere was so awkward that it made people pick their feet. Cui Bianxu glanced at his mother, then at his son Xiao Jiang, exhaled, and silently began to argue for them: "Aunt, mother... hasn't practiced martial arts for a while, and accidentally twisted her waist. I'm afraid she won't have time to practice martial arts in the future..."

He didn't know what exactly happened, but his biggest characteristic was protecting his people - don't worry about it, just protect them first!

Zhao Yue's hand was suddenly grabbed by Jiang Shangxian. She clearly didn't understand what she meant, so she had to interrupt, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. It will be fine after lying down. How many years has your aunt not learned housekeeping? Now you want her to teach etiquette and housekeeping at the same time? It's really asking too much."

Jiang Shangxian was so moved that she almost cried. Woohoo, what a loyal mother-in-law! She would never leave her out when she had a good meal!

Cui Shuhua didn't want to take on more work, so she raised her eyebrows and glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were making obvious little movements. She felt relieved in her heart. Neither of them was very smart, so her retirement would be secure in the future.

"It's boring to lie alone all day, so it's nice for her to come and talk to me." Zhao Yue said this sincerely.

She only gave birth to Cui Bianxu. Sons and daughters are different. Daughters are considerate and sons are quiet. Although Jiang Shangxian seems to be some distance away from being considerate, he can at least chat with her.

If she was asked to lie down all day, even though there were maids around, they would not chat with her all day.

Jiang Shangxian immediately assured her, "It's just right for me to tell my wife a story!"

In a flash, she had already made up her mind to tell Zhao Yue stories like The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes. She would definitely like them.

Although Zhao Yue didn't know what she was going to tell her, she could only go along with her words. "Yes, there are many Hu people in Chang'an City. She used to listen to the Hu merchants who came and went talking about what they saw and heard outside. It's just right. If I get tired of teaching, she can tell me some stories about the outside world to cheer me up."

This was the first time she had gone out since she married into the Cui family. Cui Zhe had no official position, so he had to work in many places, so she had no chance to go out.

If her son hadn't been getting married this time, she wouldn't have had the chance to come out.

Cui Bianxu still had to go to work. Seeing that the two of them insisted on doing so and Cui Shuhua didn't want to take over, she had no choice but to do so for the time being. After all, it was just a broken bone. For a martial artist, this little injury was really no big deal. So she bowed and left.

He wanted Jiang Shangxian to see him off, but not only could he not see her eyes, he could only see half of her face, mostly the back of her head. He didn't know how close she was to Zhao Yue!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and argued with each other.

Jiang Shangxian: Aunt, aren’t you leaving yet?

Zhao Yue: Who knows!

Jiang Shangxian: So what should we do now?

Zhao Yue: Who knows!

Jiang Shangxian: What if she doesn’t leave?

Zhao Yue: Who knows!

Cui Shuhua was so angry that she almost laughed. Did these two idiots think that others couldn't see that their facial features were flying around?

She simply tossed her sleeves and sat down, then gave orders with great initiative: "Go, bring some lychee pastries over, and some grapes, soak them in an ice basin and bring them over."

The future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were frozen at the same time, swallowed their saliva - Jiang Shangxian couldn't help swallowing when he heard about Litchi.

Zhao Yue didn't want to join her, lest she catch the opportunity to mock her: "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say we were going to tell a story? I'm free, so I'll accompany my second sister-in-law to listen to it. Do you think my sister-in-law dislikes me?" Cui Shuhua treated Zhao Yue very casually.

Zhao Yue said dryly: "How could that be? What are you talking about?"

She cleared her throat and pulled her hand away from Jiang Shangxian's. She didn't know where the damn girl got so much sweat from, her hands were wet. She had very dry skin!

"Can you tell me today? If not, it will be the same next time." Zhao Yue winked at her.

Jiang Shangxian blinked as well, regretting that she didn't have a face on the back of her head like Voldemort, otherwise she would have liked to pull her hair aside to see what Cui Shuhua's reaction was.

If it were before, she would have definitely run away quickly, given such a good opportunity.

But now she and Zhao Yue can be said to be friends for life, so what is the most important thing in society?

Be loyal!

My mother-in-law is so loyal, how could she be stingy?

Although she is usually very selfish, she always remembers those who are kind to her and treats her well, and is always ready to respond in kind.

The timid Xiao Jiang clenched his fat fists to encourage himself: Sister, be loyal!

Turning around, he made a request to Lianhuan, who was waiting for Zhao Yue's instructions: "Lianhuan, I want a bowl of lychee pastry, too! Put more lychees and milk in it!"

Since she is going to be a guest storyteller, she has to eat lychees!

Zhao Yue: ...

In fact, she was quite convinced.

"Go ahead and bring two bowls." Zhao Yue waved her hand helplessly. It was just a little food. Being able to eat was a blessing!

"Yes!"

The chain came very quickly, and not only the lychee pastry and grape ice basin were brought in, but also a bowl of steaming and bitter medicinal juice.

Jiang Shangxian shrugged and tried to comfort Zhao Yue: "Madam, this medicine is not very bitter."

"How do you know?" The most painful thing in the world is to suffer yourself while watching others enjoy the sweetness. Zhao Yue glared at her unhappily.
