《Reborn Evil Mother-in-law》


 CH 1

    Ying Guo Gong1 Old Madam Shen, who had been praying for blessings at the temple for many years, died. The news spread throughout the capital as if it had grown wings.


    ¡°Ying Guo Gong Old Madam? Hadn¡¯t she already passed away?¡± Some people expressed confusion.


    The Ying Guo Gong mansion has won over the Royal family, and the Ying Guo Gong Wei Cheng Lin is one of the best figures in the younger generation. But in recent years, the news of Ying Guo Gong Old Madam Shen has never been heard of. Even so, hearing the news of the passing of Ying Guo Gong Old Madam away, many people were stunned at first glance.


    ¡°She has lived in the temple for many years and prayed for blessings. She has never seen outsiders or appeared in front of people. Except for close people, no one remembers her. It¡¯s not surprising that you don¡¯t remember.


    ¡± The mansion has been in full swing these past few years. It is also because of this madam who devoted herself to worshipping Buddha!¡±


    ??¡±This madam, although she has been alive these years, it is no different from being dead.¡± A certain noble lady slowly uttered meaningful words.


    ¡°No, you guys, you are just too young and take it for granted!¡±


    ¡°Listening to this, I am reminded of a piece of news I heard a few years ago. It is said that this old madam was at odds with the Duchess? Is it because That¡¯s how you avoid going to the family temple?¡±


    ¡°Probably not? I¡¯ve seen the Duchess. She is the softest and gentlest lady I¡¯ve ever known. How could she do such an unfilial thing!¡± Someone immediately retorted.


    ¡°Who knows? Knowing the face, but not the heart. Who knows!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think the Duchess is like that. They all say that appearance is born from the heart. You look at the capital, and in terms of appearance, who can match this lady? ¡±


    ¡°At a young age, she became the Duchess. Her husband treated her wholeheartedly. The back house was clean and there was no trouble at all. She also had sons and daughters under her knees. This lady had it all the best. She must be the darling of God. ¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true. The last time the palace banquet was over, the Duke of Ying deliberately waited for her in front of the palace gate. I watched with my own eyes as the Duke helped her into the carriage. She was like an eyeball in his hand. So careful! ¡±


    ¡°In the whole capital, the man who treats his wife with great affection, if the Duke of Ying is second, then no one will dare to be the first!¡±


    ¡°It can be seen that the Duchess has accumulated a lot of fortune in her past life. She will fall into the nest of blessings in this life.¡±


    ¡­


    The focus of the discussion gradually shifted to the lady of Ying Guo Gong who made the ladies of the capital envy and envy. New things and new characters are appearing in the city from time to time. An old lady who has lived silently for several years like an invisible person is not worth their attention.


    Shen Xin Yan¡¯s soul floated around. As if being led by a thread, to a certain mansion in the city.


    She saw Chun Liu, who had been loyal to her all her life, collapsed to the ground in grief. Then she reported the ¡°bad news¡± of her passing to the young man on the chair of the Grand Master.


    That was her son. The son she was proud of all her life, and the son who personally sent her to the temple to spend the rest of her life.


    She stared at the man stubbornly, not letting go of every expression on his face. Seeing a trace of pain in the face of that incomparably determined and handsome face, his expression gradually became dazed. Until the delicate and sweet voice of a young woman came from outside the house, ¡°Husband¡­¡±.


    The pain miraculously disappeared in an instant.


    ¡°Understood.¡± In the end, he threw such a sentence lightly at Chun Liu, who came to report the news. Then he got up and walked towards his sweetheart who came in gracefully.


    ¡± Knowing this will be the case, what are you looking forward to? ¡°She curled her lips sarcastically.


    Suddenly, a strong wind blew. It instantly blew her away from the Ying Guo Gong mansion. It was as if a huge vortex was sucking her, twisting her into the depths of the white light.


    She closed her eyes tightly, and the wh8ining sound of the wind roared in her ears.


    I don¡¯t know how long it took, the wind gradually subsided, replaced by unfamiliar voices.


    ¡°Damn, why don¡¯t the male lead quickly get rid of this vicious mother and younger sister!¡±


    ¡°His mother is so disgusting. The male protagonist quickly let her get the box lunch!¡±


    ¡°The male protagonist is too indecisive. He let this mother and daughter pair jump up until now!¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t solve this evil pair first. But you still want to marry the female lead! This male protagonist is too useless. Give up the article!¡±


    ¡°+1, hate the male protagonist, disgusting male protagonist¡¯s mother!¡±


    ¡°+10086 Please let this scumbag go offline!


    ¡± Ah, isn¡¯t this evil mother-in-law not disgusting enough?¡±


    ¡°ID card number.¡±


    ¡°Pi.¡±2


    ¡­


    Strings of inexplicable words entered her ears. Shen Xin Yan was stunned. The light suddenly shot towards her brain, and her pupils suddenly widened.


    Scenes and scenes flashed in her mind quickly. There were even various narrations and voices in her ears. She was dazed at first and shocked. Then smiled wryly, and finally calmed down.


    It turned out that she was actually the vicious mother-in-law in the so-called ¡°favourite text¡±.


    Since it is a ¡°favourite¡±, the mother-in-law, who is the daughter-in-law¡¯s ¡°natural enemy¡±, the mother of the male protagonist will either die early or treat the female protagonist like her own daughter.


    You don¡¯t like the heroine. But you still wanna live a good life. Why don¡¯t you go see your ancestors early? I¡¯m sorry. According to the golden rule of ¡®the protagonist is prosperous, and the anti-protagonist is dead¡¯, this ¡°mother¡± must not end well!


    Unfortunately, she is such a ¡°mother¡±, also known as the ¡°vicious mother-in-law¡± in the legend.


    There was a loud noise of ¡°Boom¡±. And then another white light slashed towards her. Her eyes suddenly turned black, and her whole person fell sharply¡­


    Shen Xin Yan stared at the picture in the bronze mirror dumbfounded for a moment. This young face. She pinched the back of her hand in disbelief. The pain struck, and she suddenly woke up.


    Not a dream? But why? Hadn¡¯t she already died in the temple?


    She cursed for a year, went mad for four years, and finally died miserably in her home temple. Her only son, however, was indifferent to her death.


    Is there a more failed mother in the world than her?


    Recalling the past, she taunted the corners of her mouth and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying.


    ¡°Madam, the eldest son has come to greet you.¡± Chun Liu lifted the curtain and entered, reporting the news with a smile.


    Looking at the loyal maid who was ten years younger, Shen Xin Yan¡¯s heart was suffocated. Her nose couldn¡¯t help feeling a little sour when she thought of how Chun Liu had never left her in her previous life.


    She quickly turned her face away to cover it up. After a while, she said indifferently, ¡°Let him come in!¡±


    Chun Liu gave her a glance in a strange way. In the past, what Madam looked forward to most was the time when the eldest son came to greet him. What happened today? So calm?


    After a while, the young man in splendid clothes stepped in.


    The young boy¡¯s handsome face was tensed tightly and his back was straight. He was only a ten-year-old child. But he had an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty on his body.


    This is her only son, Wei Cheng Lin, the eldest grandson of the Guo Gong mansion, who has been brought up and raised by his grandfather, the Duke of Ying since he was three years old.


    Shen Xin Yan once thought that her son always had an indifferent expression. It was his nature. So he seldom smiled at his relatives.


    It wasn¡¯t until that beautiful girl appeared¡­


    It was also at that time that she knew that her indifferent and almost unsympathetic son also smiled so tenderly, and sometimes bent his proud back.


    Shen Xin Yan stared at him with complicated eyes. Seeing this son who she loved, resented and hated again, she thought she would be very excited, and could not help but ask him loudly, ¡®Why do you treat me like that? Why let me die so lonely and desolate¡¯.


    But in fact, her heart was quite calm. It was so calm that she just stared at him without blinking. Watched him respectfully greet her and stand in the centre of the room.


    She thought that whatever amount of resentment, anger, and unwillingness would have been slowly consumed in the years when she went crazy. Maybe she still had a little bit of unwillingness before her death. So her soul drifted uncontrollably to the Guo Gong mansion, just to see how her only son would react to her death.


    However, she still overestimated herself and her position in his heart¡­


    After a long time without hearing her mother¡¯s usual ardent instructions, Wei Cheng Lin raised his eyes suspiciously and looked at his mother on the Taishi chair. Then he immediately met with a pair of complicated and indescribable deep eyes.


    ¡°Mother?¡± He frowned invisibly and called out in confusion.


    Shen Xin Yan was calm. She lowered her head slightly. When she lifted it again, there was nothing strange on her face.


    ¡°Sit down. Do you sleep well last night? Did you study your homework until midnight? You are still young. No matter how hard you work, you can¡¯t delay your body. The combination of work and rest is more useful than anything else. ¡±


    ¡± I have already fallen asleep at midnight. My mother¡¯s teachings are always in my son¡¯s heart.¡± Wei Chen Lin sat up straight. His tone was respectful but slightly alienated.


    In her last life, Shen Xin Yan would have felt sad and complained about her father-in-law who had taken her son away. But after she died once, she no longer had such thoughts. She just nodded and said warmly, ¡°Okay. Now it¡¯s the class time, right? Go to the class.¡±


    Wei Cheng Lin thought he would listen to the nagging for at least another quarter of an hour as usual. But unexpectedly he heard such a sentence.


    ¡°Yes. My son retires.¡± He didn¡¯t think too much. He glanced at her, bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out.


    The tall and straight back of the young man gradually disappeared. Shen Xin Yan pursed her lips. Her eyes appeared a little blank.


    Why? Does God think that what happened in her last life was not bad enough? Why let her do it all over again?


    This inexplicable chance of rebirth. She is not rare at all. For a person whose heart has been completely dead, what is the point of living?


    Why should she live again? Doesn¡¯t it mean that people die like a lamp goes out? Why is she still here?


    The unresolved scenes of resentment from the previous life flashed in her mind like a revolving lantern. The pain in her heart quickly swept through her limbs and bones. She clutched her heart tightly as if a voice was constantly echoing in her ears. Why? Why? Why live again?


    She didn¡¯t know how long it took before she took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.


    Since God wants to let her do it all over again, then she will live again. At least, this time, live a good life for yourself!


    ¡°Chun Liu, I¡¯ll change my clothes!¡± She called out loudly.


    Chun Liu entered in response.


    ¡°Change one. Let¡¯s change to the snow blue one!¡± Shen Xin Yan glanced at the dark green shirt and skirt held by Chun Liu. She shook her head and pointed to another set on the shelf.


    Ying Guo Gong ¨C Duke of Ying, Imperial Duke who is brave. Guo Gong(Imperial Duke) is the highest military title based on military achievement.


    Well, I don¡¯t know what it means either. It literally means ID number and Pi. If somebody knows, don¡¯t hesitate to tell me. I¡¯ll fix it.

 CH 2

    ¡°Madam looks so good in this color!¡± Chun Liu couldn¡¯t help but admire her master who had suddenly become much younger.


    On weekdays, Madam always likes to wear clothes that are indigo blue, dark green, or other dark tones. Although it adds a little bit of calm and dignified aura to her, she looks a few years older.


    Isn¡¯t it better to dress like this now?


    The Ying Guo Gong mansion started with martial arts. And all the previous princes were famous warriors. The current Duchess is the eldest princess and the aunt of the present emperor. She has two sons and one daughter.


    The eldest daughter is married to the eldest son of the Duke of Wei. The eldest son Wei Jun Ting has won achievements in both civil and military affairs throughout the year. Since the age of fourteen, he has followed his father to fight everywhere, and married Lady Fang, the eldest girl of the Marquis of Pingliang. Unfortunately, heaven is jealous of talent. Wei Jun Ting fell ill a few years ago. After passing away, the position of the prince fell to the second son Wei Jun Hang.


    Although this Wei Jun Hang was born to the same mother as Wei Jun Ting, he was far inferior to his excellent elder brother, and they had nothing in common. He is easygoing by nature. Most of the people who come and go on weekdays are the idle children of various noble families. Over time, he actually got named as a dude. The Duke of Ying was so annoyed that he can¡¯t wait to kill this evil son who is detrimental to the family style.


    As Wei Jun Hang¡¯s wife, although Shen Xin Yan has also risen to become the wife of the prince, she is not the future mistress of the prince¡¯s mansion in the eyes of the eldest princess.


    The requirements of the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are naturally different. On that day, the eldest princess fully considered this point when she chose a daughter-in-law for her sons. So she hired the capable eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingliang for the eldest son. For her second son, she hired Shen Xin Yan, a girl from Jing An Bo Fu who he liked.


    It¡¯s a pity that the world is messing with people. In the blink of an eye, the capable eldest daughter-in-law has become a widow.


    Although Shen Xin Yan in the previous life was the wife of the prince, she was crushed by Lady Fang in everything. The only thing that could make her proud in front of Lady Fang was that her son was far better than Lady Fang¡¯s son!


    At least, the Duke of Ying chose to keep her son by his side instead of Lady Fang¡¯s son.


    Speaking of which, her mentality was also very strange. She was angry that her father-in-law took away her son regardless of her wishes. But she was also proud that her father-in-law valued her son.


    Shen Xin Yan was a little absent-minded. Putting on this elegant color, it was like seeing herself who was still waiting to be married in her boudoir.


    Gradually, the figure in the bronze mirror was turned into a face of national beauty.


    She pursed her lips. She took off her snow-blue shirt and skirt without saying a word. Then she put on a brand-new silver-red robe. She applied a little powder, and her whole body became more and more dazzling, which made Chun Liu beside her full of admiration.


    ¡°It¡¯s Madam¡¯s eyesight. This one is even better than the one just now. If you go outside with the fourth girl, maybe people will think you two are sisters!¡±


    Shen Xin Yan¡¯s face immediately froze when she heard the words ¡°fourth girl¡±. And she felt a burst of heartache swept over.


    ¡°Ying Zhi, Ying¡¯er¡­¡± Her lips trembled. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she struggled to call out her daughter¡¯s name.


    Wei Ying Zhi, her only daughter. She still vividly remembers the grief and despair of the white-headed man who sent the black-headed man in the previous life. The death of her daughter was also the most direct reason why she hated Zhou Wan Ning and the Zhou family, even though Zhou Wan Ning was already pregnant with her grandson at that time.


    However, what made her hatred reach its peak was her son¡¯s protection of the murderer, Zhou Wan Ning¡¯s second brother.


    At that time, she was completely insane. She didn¡¯t want to hear any explanation. She only knew that her daughter was dead. But the murderer was just exiled to the border without any pain, still living in his glorious days.


    Why?! Why?!! How can surname Zhou be able to make his scenery and happiness through the blood and tears of others! Why is her daughter dead, but the daughter of the Zhou family can still live happily and heartlessly?!


    Her daughter is still so young. She hasn¡¯t even had time to set a marriage date for her¡­


    ¡°Madam, are you thinking about the fourth girl? Just now, Sun Mama come back, and the fourth girl will be back at this hour.¡± Chun Liu thought she missed her daughter who went to Jing An Bo mansion and said with a smile.


    That¡¯s right. Her Ying er is still alive and well. She will be back in a while!


    She took a few deep breaths, clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. She barely suppressed her trembling body, and slowly sat down on the Taishi to couch.


    She lowered her eyes and searched her mind for her memories of this life. This year, her Ying er was only six years old. Yesterday, she brought her daughter back to Jing An Bo Mansion, and her mother was not willing to let her granddaughter leave her.


    She silently combed through the memories of this life. She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little fortunate in her heart.


    It¡¯s all over. Everything in the last life is over. The daughter¡¯s misfortune has not yet happened, and everything is still possible to recover. In this life, she will never fight again, whether it is Zhou Wan Ning or Li Wan Ning, Chen Wan Ning and Sun Wan Ning. Whoever his son likes to marry, he will marry.


    The rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down. She took a long sigh, and saw the maid Xia He walked in with a sullen face.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my sister? Could it be that the old ladies in the kitchen still dare to show power at my sister?¡± Chun Liu Zheng put the folded clothes back in the closet. When she turned around, seeing Xia He¡¯s appearance, she asked casually.


    Xia He reluctantly suppressed the anger in her heart, blessed Shen Xin, and said bitterly: ¡°Madam has to eat bird¡¯s nest porridge every morning. This is a norm. This morning, the servant saw that there was no bird¡¯s nest porridge for breakfast. So I went to ask what happened. But Mama Cui actually said that the cost of our yard has exceeded this month. And now the price of bird¡¯s nest in shops is increasing. I am afraid that it will not be available until next month.¡±


    ¡°What is this? Ying Guo Gong mansion can¡¯t even afford the wife of the prince a bowl of bird¡¯s nest porridge?¡± Chun Liu immediately became angry.


    ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m saying!¡± Xia He said it aggrievedly.


    This is clearly bullying knowing the lady¡¯s temperament. If the eldest princess or even the eldest lady wants to eat it, then Mama Cui dares to reject it like this?


    Shen Xin Yan¡¯s expression was not obvious, but she sneered secretly.


    She glanced at the maid who was fighting for her for a moment, and said lightly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a bowl of bird¡¯s nest porridge? It doesn¡¯t matter if you eat less for a few days. Don¡¯t make people laugh!¡±


    It was the same in her previous life. At that time, although she was angry, she finally endured it. Looking back on her previous life, she was always patient with Fang Shi, and kept forgiving. Even if she was so upset and annoyed, she finally swallowed it all to herself.


    Just because she knew that Lady Fang was the daughter-in-law that her mother-in-law wanted the most, and the future princess of the country that the eldest princess was most satisfied with. If it wasn¡¯t for the bad fate of Lady Fang and her husband¡¯s early death, how could the name of this prince¡¯s wife fall on her own?


    But, will she endure it for the rest of her life?


    She sneered again.


    No, not anymore!


    The result of her repeated concessions in the previous life was to let Fang Shi occupy the magpie¡¯s nest, fully grasp the authority and status of the prince¡¯s wife that should belong to her, and let her repeatedly provoke her relationship with her son.


    Anyway, this life of re-living is an accidental gain, not what she wants. If that is the case, why doesn¡¯t she live a more comfortable life!


    Sitting down at the dining table slowly, she looked at the breakfast that was already on the table¡ªa few small porridges and several delicate side dishes. Although not what she usually used to, but it didn¡¯t look too bad. At least it can be said that although the Fang Shi is in power now, no one with a brain dares to embarrass her, the prince¡¯s wife, on the bright side.


    The eldest princess has to go to the small Buddha hall to recite the scriptures every morning when she wakes up. After chanting the scriptures, she simply eats some light breakfast. She likes to be quiet and is impatient to make rules for her daughters-in-law. So her daughters-in-law will come to her room to greet her after she has eaten breakfast.


    In addition to the two sons and one daughter from the eldest princess, there is also a son from a concubine, who is now the third master, Wei Jun Xian.


    This Wei Jun Xian¡¯s biological mother passed away early. He was raised in the house of the eldest princess. He married Yang, the daughter of a former servant of the Ministry of Rites, and now has two sons and one daughter with Yang. This Yang Shi has an exquisite temperament. Although she is a concubi daughter-in-law, she is used to curry favor her mother-in-law. So she has some face in front of the eldest princess.


    As soon as the maid had cleaned up the dining table, Fang Shi, Shen Xin Yan and Yang Shi walked in with light steps.


    The eldest princess only felt that her eyes suddenly lit up. Her eyes fell on the silver-red figure behind Fang Shi. When she recognized that person was her second daughter-in-law Shen Xin Yan, she was a little surprised.


    In all these years, it was the first time she had seen this second daughter-in-law dressed up so brightly. Dressed in a silver-red forged skirt with a long collar, a simple bun on her head, a butterfly-style gold hairpin, and a golden gourd pendant with jewelry embedded in her ears, it is obviously red and gold, which tend to be vulgar colors, but they look suitable on her. She looks bright and radiant, which is very different from her usual image.


    Looking at her like this today, she somewhat understands why her second son picked her out of so many noble ladies.


    ¡°You look very good on this dress today. That¡¯s exactly how you should be. When you are young, you have to dress radiantly.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned. She never thought that the eldest princess would say such a thing to herself. But she quickly reacted and said with a smile, ¡°Mother is right. I was the one who was confused in the past.¡±


    She had long known that the eldest princess had already had a second daughter-in-law candidate in her mind. It was her husband Wei Jun Hang who insisted to marry her. After entering the door, she was afraid that others would think that her appearance had seduced Wei Jun Hang to marry him, and that her elders would misunderstand her frivolous behavior. So she deliberately dressed herself in a solemn and steady direction, and she got used to it over time.


    But she never thought that all this was just her own thinking!


    She pursed her lips bitterly.


    In the last life, she cared too much about other people¡¯s eyes. So she would restrain herself again and again and make herself so tired.


    Lady Yang¡¯s eyes rolled a few times. She smiled and stepped forward to hug Shen Xin Yan¡¯s arm affectionately, and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that true? I just saw the second sister-in-law just now. I thought I saw the fairies in the world! The whole room was lit up by the second sister-in-law¡¯s face.¡±


    ¡°The third sister-in-law¡¯s mouth is still so flattering!¡± Lady Fang¡¯s gaze swept back and forth between Shen Xin Yan and Yang Shi, and answered them in a flat tone.


    With a smile on Shen Xin Yan¡¯s lips, she glanced at Fang Shi and saw that she had turned around and chatted with the eldest princess.


    Yang Shi wanted to say something else. But when she saw it, she just pouted.


    When it comes to a likable mouth, in the family, this eldest sister-in-law is the second, who dares to be the first. Isn¡¯t she coaxing the eldest princess to smile?! What are you saying about being quiet and indifferent? If you are really so indifferent, you shouldn¡¯t be holding on the central ledger of the house!


    It¡¯s just that she always knew her identity. Although she was unhappy, she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. Don¡¯t look at the eldest princess treating them equally in front of everyone. If there is anything, it is still her direct daughters-in-law, especially the eldest daughter-in-law Fang, who she is most proud of.


    She calmly glanced at Shen Xin Yan who was sitting on the other side. She secretly said: This is also stupid. Obviously, she has become the wife of the prince. It is the most justifiable, but she is pressed on her head by a woman who has lost her husband.

 CH 3

    ¡°I have already prepared the gift list for Rong An Mansion Old Madam¡¯s birthday and the full moon ceremony of Cheng Wang¡¯s grandson next month. Mother, please take a look at this gift list.¡± Fang Shi presented the prepared gift list.


    The eldest princess took the outline and scanned it. Just as she was thinking about what Fang Shi said, she paused for a moment, then changed the subject and forwarded the gift list to Shen Xin Yan: ¡°Shen Shi, come and take a look at this list.¡±


    Fang Shi withdrew her hand that was going to take the list without a trace.


    Shen Xin Yan nodded and took the gift list. She read it carefully from beginning to end. Then she said calmly: ¡°The list proposed by my sister-in-law is quite good. There is nothing wrong with Rong An Mansion. It¡¯s just that this list for the full moon ceremony of Cheng Wang¡¯s eldest grandson is very inappropriate.¡±


    Fang Shi¡¯s eyes sank. There was a bit of displeasure on her face, but she tried to suppress it in her heart.


    ¡°Oh? Then what do you think is wrong?¡± The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and asked with great interest.


    ¡°If second sister-in-law feels that there is something wrong, let¡¯s say it outright. So that I can learn from my sister-in-law.¡± Fang Shi said with a half-smile.


    An ignorant woman who has never been in charge of the family and only eats, drinks and dresses up, how can she know the relationship between people? She just wants to take the opportunity to step on her face.


    Yang Shi looked at Fang Shi, and then at Shen Xin Yan. A smile flashed in her eyes.


    Yo, is this clay figurine Shen finally going to show off her power?


    Shen Xin Yan glanced meaningfully at Fang Shi. Then she said slowly: ¡°Sister-in-law has been in charge of the family for many years. These human relationships are just easy for you and they are handled properly. It¡¯s just that for many years, the eldest sister-in-law has lived in a secluded place. With the ladies of the noble family, there is very little contact. Naturally it is not clear that although the eldest grandson of Chen Wang has the word ¡®di¡¯, but in fact, he is not from the princess consort. It is just recorded in the name of the princess consort.¡±


    Fang Shi¡¯s heart squeaked. She instantly understood where she was wrong with this list. Her face changed all of a sudden.


    Although the named direct son is also called the direct son, after all, it is different from the direct son of the eight classics. This dynasty stipulates that if the surnamed heir wants to inherit the title of the family, it must be done with a decree.


    And the gift list she prepared was completely based on the royal family¡¯s legitimate son.


    ¡°It was daughter-in-law who was negligent. Thanks to my second sister-in-law for reminding me.¡± No matter how uncomfortable she was, she was wrong. Fang Shi hurriedly got up, apologized to the eldest princess with a face of shame, and sincerely thanked Shen Xin Yan.


    ¡°It¡¯s good to change it. You just don¡¯t know the reason for this omission.¡± The eldest princess said warmly.


    ¡°Yes, my daughter-in-law will try again.¡± Fang Shi¡¯s head dropped even lower.


    It was the first time in her life that she had made such a low-level mistake. And Shen Xin Yan, whom she had despised, pointed it out. It was really embarrassing for Fang Shi.


    In particular, Shen Xin Yan¡¯s words, ¡°You have lived in seclusion for many years, have little contact with the ladies of various noble families¡±, which is no less than a slap directly on her face.


    The headmistress of the noble family, in addition to handling the affairs of the house, also has to deal with the female relatives of the various houses. But she was a young woman whose husband had died. Although this Dynasty was not very demanding of widows, famous families regarded young widowed women as ominous. They were unwilling to deal with them more. This is also why Fang Shi does not know that the eldest grandson of Chen Wang is not a legitimate direct descendant.


    ¡°Oh, thanks to eldest sister-in-law always doing things properly. She knew that she has to come and ask my mother to give her instructions first. So a misunderstanding can be avoided. Otherwise, if this gift is sent out, it will not look good. Instead, it will cause trouble between the prince and princess consort Chen. It¡¯s not worth the work!¡± Yang patted his chest with joy, but he couldn¡¯t hide the look of a good show on his face.


    This was the first time I saw the well-rounded sister-in-law choked up. If she didn¡¯t take the opportunity to add a little more obstruction, it would be a waste of this good show!


    ¡°Don¡¯t let you talk nonsense about the family affairs of the Wang Fu. Don¡¯t you know the truth that calamity comes out of your mouth?!¡± The eldest princess frowned and gave Yang Shi a displeased look.


    Yang Shi was suffocated. Her face was a little embarrassed. But she quickly covered it up and said hurriedly: ¡°Mother taught it very well. It was the daughter-in-law who was careless.¡±


    ¡°Sister-in-law has always been in charge of the family. Everything is done well. But I am a little puzzled about one thing. I heard that my yard has exceeded the cost for this month. I can¡¯t even eat the bird¡¯s nest porridge. But I carefully checked the booklet in my room, but I don¡¯t know where this cost came from. So I asked my sister-in-law to give me some pointers.¡± Shen Xin Yan pretended not to notice the subtle atmosphere between Fang Shi and Yang Shi, straightened her waist and asked seriously.


    For a time, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on her, especially the eldest princess, whose face was even more difficult to hide the surprise.


    This second daughter-in-law is indeed a little different today.


    No wonder she felt this way. It¡¯s because Shen Xin Yan has always been a sullen gourd. No matter what unpleasant thing she encounters, she will only hold it in her heart, not to mention ask for an explanation in person.


    Yang Shi was surprised. She was even more excited.


    I don¡¯t know what kind of medicine Shen Shi took wrong today. She took the initiative to face Fang Shi again and again.


    How could the Yang Shi not know that the eldest princess just taught herself a lesson because she also wanted to protect the Fang family? Now she wants to see, when the two daughters-in-law of the direct lines meet, which one will she protect?


    Fang Shi was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect that Shen Xin Yan would take the initiative to find her. But she was not Yang Shi. She quickly recovered and said unhurriedly: ¡°Our imperial duke mansion is also a wealthy family. A mere bowl of bird¡¯s nest porridge, how can¡¯t you afford it? Although each room in the government has a fixed monthly fee, Fu Ning Courtyard is now the courtyard of the prince. As for what the second sister-in-law said, I think the servants are not paying attention to what they do. I will check it out when I go back. Then I will give the second sister-in-law an explanation! ¡±


    Fang Shi¡¯s answer is wonderful! She didn¡¯t almost directly say, ¡°Your Fu Ning Courtyard is now the residence of the prince. With a high status, it¡¯s just you bully others. How can others bully you?!¡±


    Tsk Tsk. What a grievance! What a righteous sister-in-law!


    Since Shen Xin Yan mentioned this matter in person, she didn¡¯t intend to let Fang Shi dodge it. So she ignored her reply. She cleared her throat and said with a half-smile: ¡°Sister-in-law doesn¡¯t understand what I mean. I just want to make it clear. This cost of Fu Ning Courtyard, where does the overpayment come from? Why is it so different from the booklet that I have?¡±


    After a pause, she said solemnly, ¡°Besides, there are rules and regulations. Fu Ning Courtyard is the residence of the prince. But it is also a part of the mansion. It is necessary to follow the rules of the mansion. What should be used and should not be used should be spoken following the rules. Therefore, what my sister-in-law just said ¡®Fu Ning Courtyard is occasionally out of the norm. It will never happen. ¡®There will be no shortage for the prince¡¯s expanse.¡¯ I can¡¯t agree with this!¡±


    Fang Shi¡¯s face was a little ugly when she was refuted, but the other party¡¯s words were reasonable. She couldn¡¯t say anything for a while.


    The eldest princess frowned even tighter. How could she not feel the struggle between the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law? Now she was a little awkward.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t hide it from my second sister-in-law. It¡¯s not wrong to think about the expenses in the courtyard recorded in the booklet on the second sister-in-law¡¯s hand. It¡¯s just that the second sister-in-law doesn¡¯t know. Not long ago, the second brother withdrew a hundred taels from the public. This account is recorded in the Fu Ning Courtyard.¡± Fang Shi was annoyed by her pressing step by step, paused for a while, and said again with no expression.


    ¡°Second brother and you are husband and wife. Could it be that he never mentioned this to you? It¡¯s not my sister-in-law who talks too much. It¡¯s just that second sister-in-law, as a wife, you have to spend more time on your husband.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned by Fang Shi¡¯s sneering eyes. But she restrained her expression and solemnly retorted: ¡°I do not know about this matter. It is also my negligence. However, there are also inappropriate behaviours for my sister-in-law. Let me ask my sister-in-law. Where did he spend the money?¡±


    Fang Shi was suddenly dumbfounded. She said with a bit of embarrassment: ¡°If even you, the wife, don¡¯t know, how do I know?! ¡±


    ¡± That¡¯s right! The price has a free and easy temperament. He is honest and generous. He has always regarded money as insignificant. But now he suddenly wants to withdraw such a large sum of money, and my sister-in-law agrees without asking the reason. This move is very inappropriate and is suspected of being unfair. Today I give money to the prince without reason, what if others want to withdraw money tomorrow? Could it be that because the prince is the prince, you can allow him? But others are not allowed to do so?¡±


    Fang Shi was stunned. After a while, she said angrily, ¡°He is the prince. He wants to withdraw silver taels. Can I still block him?!¡±


    As soon as she said the words, she knew that it was bad. She quickly looked at the eldest princess who was silent all this time. As expected, she saw the eldest princess¡¯s face sinking.


    Others can say this. But she absolutely can¡¯t say it, especially in front of the eldest princess.


    She opened her mouth to say something to make amends. But Shen Xin Yan didn¡¯t give her this chance. She got up and knelt in front of the eldest princess, and said sincerely: ¡°If this is the case, the elder sister-in-law is only wrong on one point. But the daughter-in-law is wrong on nine points. Just as my sister-in-law said, since I am a wife, I have to put my husband first in everything. Now, this incident is all because my daughter-in-law ignores the prince on weekdays. My daughter-in-law knows that the mistake has been made. But the husband and wife are one. This 100 taels will be deducted from the monthly records of the daughter-in-law and the prince.¡±


    ¡°From now on, the daughter-in-law will learn from this. Put the prince first in everything, and consider everything for the prince!¡±


    The eldest princess couldn¡¯t say the words of reproach anymore. After a moment, she said indifferently: ¡°Get up. You can understand this level.¡±


    This is to let it go lightly.


    But this is not Shen Xin Yan¡¯s ultimate goal.


    She raised her eyes and met the eldest princess¡¯ already-somewhat-displeased face. She said sincerely: ¡°There is something else. My daughter-in-law would like to ask my mother to point me.¡±


    The eldest princess frowned even more. Her intuitions told her that what this daughter-in-law said next would not be good words. But before she could answer, Shen Xin Yan had already said it herself.


    ¡°Although the money in the government is allotted to each court, the money is still in the hands of the public, and cannot be allocated by each court. My daughter-in-law feels that this move is quite inappropriate and causes trouble for the public. Not to mention, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.¡±


    Yang Shi¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. She instantly understood what she meant.


    If this happens, it will not only benefit Shen Shi!


    Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: ¡°Second sister-in-law¡¯s words are very true. Since the money is distributed to various places, the money is naturally controlled by each place itself. It¡¯s just right!¡±


    Shen Xin Yan simply threw a heavy punch.


    ¡°For example, how can a sister-in-law still manage the money in the brother-in-law¡¯s yard!¡±


    ¡°Presumptuous!!¡±

 CH 4

    The eldest princess shouted angrily: ¡°Shen Shi, you are so bold!¡±


    ¡°Second sister-in-law, I really can¡¯t wait to die 10,000 times! I also ask my mother to decide for my daughter-in-law!¡± She bowed down at the feet of the eldest princess.


    Yang Shi was also taken aback by Shen Xin Yan¡¯s boldness, staring at her like a ghost. But an uncontrollable excitement spread wildly in her heart.


    Tear it. Tear it harder. It¡¯s better to tear off all the skin of Fang Shi, that bitch!


    A widow. Not honestly staying in her own yard, mourning her deceased husband and raising her children, but clinging to the central ledger and refusing to let it go. That¡¯s not all. The husband is already dead. But she still puts on the spectrum of the prince¡¯s wife. Her eyes are higher than the top. There is no dust in her eyes.1


    Pooh! That¡¯s because the righteous mistress doesn¡¯t like to care about her. If the other is serious, there is nothing she can really do. The sky in this mansion will change.


    No, maybe the day is slowly changing¡­


    ¡°Shen Shi, you are also a woman from a noble family. How can you say such foul language? I was the one who misjudged you in the past!¡± The eldest princess was so annoyed that she criticized her sternly. All the people in the room were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.


    Shen Xin Yan seemed unaware. Facing the eldest princess¡¯ angry eyes, she said calmly: ¡°I just told the truth. My sister-in-law does not have to die 10,000 times. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t take care of your face. My sister-in-law lives in seclusion. The house is quiet. So naturally, you can¡¯t hear it. But the two masters in our house are going to walk outside. If someone has malicious intentions, they can make trouble from it and spread unspeakable words. I¡¯m afraid it will damage the reputation of our mansion. Mother, please think carefully about whether what I said is reasonable.¡±


    The eldest princess sneered: ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you have such a clever mouth!¡±


    ¡°Daughter-in-law is just telling the truth.¡±


    ¡°Everyone goes out. Let me be quiet. None of you makes me comforted!¡± The eldest princess glared at her angrily and waved at everyone in annoyance.


    Shen Xin Yan bowed her body and withdrew without saying a word.


    Yang Shi followed her and walked out.


    Fang Shi bit her lip unwillingly. She wanted to say something. But the eldest princess had already entered the room with the help of the maid. She was so annoyed that she twisted the handkerchief in her hands.


    Today, she was careless. She was forced by Shen Shi to the point where she is now. It was also that she underestimated Shen Shi. She thought she was a quiet person. But she didn¡¯t expect that she was hiding malice in her heart, just waiting for a good time to deal with herself.


    ¡°Second sister-in-law is really impressive today!¡± Yang Shi sighed.


    Shen Xin Yan glanced at her, and the corner of her mouth curled slightly: ¡°The third sister-in-law has always made me dare not look down on you.¡±


    Yang Shi was choked by her. She was a little speechless. It¡¯s like if the rabbit is in a hurry, it will bite?


    With a clear cough to cover up the embarrassment, she asked what she cared about most: ¡°Second sister-in-law, do you think Mother will listen to your words, and in the future, she will really distribute the expense to our courtyards directly?¡±


    ¡°How can you and I guess what Mother¡¯s thoughts are?¡± Shen Xin Yan smiled slightly without saying anything.


    This third sister-in-law is a good-for-nothing person who only does things for profits. She is also a wallflower. Whoever wins, she follows. Although she does not like Fang Shi, it does not mean that she is willing to have a deep friendship with this person. Better to keep some distance from each other.


    As for whether the eldest princess will answer what she said, the answer is yes. Even if the eldest princess favours Fang Shi again, what she values ??most is the Yin Guo Gong Mansion. Today, if she didn¡¯t bring out the fact that the prince withdrew the silver taels in advance from the public but directly proposed to return the expense of each court to the control of each court, the eldest princess might not agree.


    But with the foreshadowing in front, the eldest princess naturally thinks more.


    Of course, she didn¡¯t need to explain this to Yang Shi.


    I don¡¯t know which ancestor created the management method of the inner house in the Ying Guo Gong Mansion. This highly centralized method is indeed quite conducive to improving the power of those in power. It is estimated that this is also the reason that the backyard of the Ying Guo Gong Mansion is clean.


    This method has high requirements for the mistress. When a mistress is a shrewd and capable one, the inner house under the pressure of power and pressure will naturally be orderly and everything is efficient. However, the chaos in the inner house is a bit deeper than the ordinary situations right now.


    Fang Shi is the candidate for the future mistress of the mansion, carefully selected by the eldest princess. However, she has a fatal point ¨C that is, the name is not right.


    If she is still the prince¡¯s wife, then neither the Yang family nor anyone in the house will have any objection to her taking power. But now she is not. Without the identity of the wife of the prince, just with the favofavourthe eldest princess, she is in charge of the central ledger in the house. How could she be able to convince the public?


    The first person who is dissatisfied is Yang Shi.


    Besides, as the saying goes: Whoever provides the food is who they have to listen. Even though the servants do errands in various courtyards, the salary is still taken from the public. In this way, the word loyalty is not very reliable.


    In the past life, Shen Xin Yan suffered a big loss in this regard. In the Fu Ning Courtyard where she was located, nearly half of the servants belonged to the Fang Shi!


    And Fang Shi, relying on this unique highly centralized management of the inner house of the Ying Guo Gong Mansion, has established a firm foothold in the house step by step. Thus she has the capital to make waves in the house.


    In this life, Shen Xin Yan directly cut off this possibility from the root! She can continue to hold the central ledger in her hand if she has the ability. But if she wants to be as smooth as in her previous life, it is unlikely.


    Seeing her like this, Yang Shi knew that she couldn¡¯t get a positive answer from her. So she pouted her lips secretly and was about to say something else. But she saw Shen Xin Yan¡¯s footsteps paused, and then hurried forward. The eager look really puzzled her.


    She raised her eyes and looked forward. There she saw a small figure hitting Shen Xin Yan like a small cannonball. After a closer look, she recognized that the small figure was Wei Ying Zhi, the fourth girl from Shen Xin Yan.


    She shook her head amusingly. She didn¡¯t see her mother for one night, but this fourth girl is quite attached to her mother!


    ¡°Mother¡­¡±


    ¡°Fourth girl. Slow down and walk carefully!¡±


    The little girl¡¯s soft cheers came from a distance. Shen Xin Yan¡¯s eyes were slightly red. Her body was shaking with excitement, and she stared at the little figure running closer and closer.


    The little girl was about six or seven years old, with two flower buds tied to her head, wearing a red butterfly jacket, a pair of big black eyes embedded in a red peach face. She was fluttering into her arms coquettishly.


    Shen Xin Yan opened her stiff arms to hug her. The moment her daughter¡¯s soft and warm body hugged her, her tears almost fell.


    ¡°Ying er¡­¡±


    ¡°Mother, You hold Ying er too tight. It hurts!¡± This delicate humming sound was like a warm current, gently soothing her heart.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my mother¡¯s fault.¡± She slowly lowered her head and looked at the clear black and white eyes of her daughter in her arms.


    Xiao Ying Zhi¡¯s big eyes flashed. She suddenly showed a sweet smile, and then kissed her on the face with a kiss: ¡°Mother is the best!¡±


    After a while, she held the little girl¡¯s soft and fleshy little hands and asked softly, ¡°Are you obedient at grandmother¡¯s place?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m super obedient. My grandmother and aunt compliment me!¡± The little girl held out her chest, a proud look of ¡®I am very good. I am the best¡¯.


    Shen Xin Yan¡¯s expression was soft. She pinched her daughter¡¯s cheek lovingly, and boasted without hesitation: ¡°Mother¡¯s Ying er is really good!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she managed to see the little girl¡¯s brows and eyes curled with laughter. She was happy to hear her mother¡¯s compliment.


    Seeing this sweet and bright smile, Shen Xin Yan only felt her heart soften. She couldn¡¯t help but ask softly, ¡°Do you have breakfast today?¡±


    ¡°Of course I do! I ate a bowl of porridge and a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I ate one more piece of walnut cake than Cousin Hui. My grandmother said, as long as I eat on time every day, I will soon be as tall as my uncle.¡± The little girl was even more proud, fingering the things she had used for breakfast with her fat fingers. It looks so cute.


    Shen Xin Yan stared at her with a smile and did not disturb her. She asked a few interesting things about her grandmother¡¯s house from time to time, which made the little girl¡¯s eyes sparkle with excitement.


    Shen Xin Yan took her daughter¡¯s little hand and walked slowly towards the Fu Ning Courtyard. The little girl¡¯s delicate and beautiful voice swayed all the way.


    ¡°¡­Cousin Hui can make a purse. She said she would make one for me after a while. By the way, mother, look at it. This is the butterfly pendant that Cousin Hui gave me. Does it look good?¡±


    Shen Xin Yan lowered her head and looked down. Seeing that the little girl really had a delicate butterfly pendant on her palm, she smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡±


    ¡°I knew that Cousin Hui would not give it to me something that¡¯s not good-looking. Cousin Hui said, wait until she makes it. She will give it to me so I could tie it to the fan. Cousin Hui also said¡­¡±


    The little girl kept saying ¡®Cousin Hui¡¯, but the smile on Shen Xin Yan¡¯s face subconsciously subsided.


    The Cousin Hui in Xiao Ying Zhi¡¯s mouth was Jing An Bo¡¯s eldest daughter, and her niece, Shen Hui Ran. She was two years older than her daughter, who was eight years old this year.


    Although she is not very fond of the elder sister-in-law, she is quite fond of this niece. Once, she also had the idea of ??kissing with her son. No, she not only had such thoughts in her previous life, but she also acted on them again and again.


    The most beloved niece married her most precious son, which was her hope in her previous life.


    However, her hope was completely shattered when Zhou Wan Ning appeared.


    And after that¡­


    She shook her head, forcing herself to stop thinking about the things in her previous life.


    ¡°Does Ying er like Cousin Hui very much?¡± She took her daughter and sat down on the Taishi¡¯s couch. She fondly rubbed the little girl¡¯s forehead and asked softly.


    ¡°I like it! Cousin Hui is the best! Give me anything good-looking, delicious, or fun.¡± The little girl nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.


    ¡°The fourth girl and Miss Hui have such a good relationship that they are like sisters. Before returning to the mansion, the fourth girl still held Miss Hui¡¯s hand and insisted on pulling Cousin Hui home. The uncle said with a smile, ¡®Give Cousin Hui to your brother. As a daughter-in-law, then she can accompany you.¡¯ ¡± Mama Sun on the side said with a smile.


    Shen Xin Yan¡¯s smile faded completely when she heard her last sentence.


    She glanced at Mama Sun blankly, and said lightly: ¡°Mama is not too young. Why don¡¯t you know what to say and what not to say?¡±


    Mama Sun immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.


    The eyes are not under the dust, a Chinese idiom, the pinyin is m¨´ w¨² xi¨¤ ch¨¦n, which means the eyes do not look down; it describes an arrogant attitude and looks down on people of low status.

 CH 5

    Shen Xin Yan lowered her eyes and caressed the jade bracelet on her hand, turning a blind eye to Mama Sun.


    Xiao Ying Zhi blinked her big eyes ignorantly. She tilted her head to look at her mother for a while, and then looked at Mama Sun again, with a blank expression on her face.


    Mama Sun knelt on the ground, her face turned pale as time passed, but she never heard Shen Xin Yan¡¯s voice that made her get up.


    ¡°Mother¡­¡± It was still the little girl who felt a little distressed about Mama Sun. She coquettishly grabbed her mother¡¯s sleeve and shook it.


    Shen Xin Yan pinched her daughter¡¯s blushing face, and then her eyes slowly fell to Mama Sun, who was on the ground. She said calmly, ¡°Get up!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Madam!¡± When she breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Xin Yan¡¯s meaningful words rang out again, ¡°Although Mama came from Jing An Bo Fu, now you are receiving silver and rice from Ying Guo Gong Mansion. You should always be able to distinguish your identity when speaking and doing things. My daughter is the jewel in my palm. I gave her to you only because I trusted Mama. I just hope Mama will not betray my trust.¡±


    ¡°She is still young when her innocence was like a blank sheet of paper. Waiting by her side, what should be said, what should not be said, you always need to have a clear mind.¡±


    Mama Sun¡¯s old face turned red and white. She didn¡¯t dare to say anything.


    Shen Xin Yan stared at her for a moment, and then slowly continued: ¡°Mama has done her best to serve Ying er over the years. I see it all in my eyes. You only need to remember who you serve. It¡¯s Ying er. When she grows up, she will definitely remember the credits of the Mama. So why do you bother to worry about other people¡¯s affairs? Mama thinks carefully about what I said?¡±


    Mama Sun was suffocated and immediately said again. Kneeling on the ground again: ¡°Madam¡¯s words are reasonable. The slave was blinded by the lard. From now on, this slave will only serve the fourth girl wholeheartedly and ignore other people¡¯s affairs.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s best if you can think like this. You can go now.¡± Shen Xin Yan nodded, without trying to find out the sincerity of what she said. She waved her hand and let her back out.


    Although Mama Sun was a bit selfish, she really did her best to serve her daughter. With this level, she didn¡¯t even think about dealing with her.


    Thinking about it, it was a new life. It seemed to clear the clouds from the sky. In this life, she saw a lot of things that she didn¡¯t pay attention to in her previous life.


    For example, the mind of this Mama, and the idea of ??her sister-in-law from Jing An Bo Fu.


    She knew very well that at this time, whether it was in her past life or this life, she hadn¡¯t thought of marriage for his son. Besides, she had stopped thinking about it in this life. It was naturally even more impossible to in her daughter the idea of ??¡±letting cousin Hui marry her brother¡±.


    In the past life, her daughter tried her best to match her cousin Hui and her brother. In addition to being influenced by her mother and being moved by her niece¡¯s infatuation with her son, she also spared no effort in lobbying and hinting at people around her.


    But her daughter never imagined that her enthusiasm had brought her own calamity!


    Her heart was like being pierced by a needle. Shen Xin Yan took a deep breath, and she lowered her eyes to meet a pair of crystal clear black and white eyes.


    ¡°Mother, did Mama do something wrong?¡± Xiao Ying Zhi asked in confusion.


    ¡°Well, she said something she shouldn¡¯t have said.¡± Shen Xin Yan caressed her tender face and replied gently.


    The little girl nodded understandingly.


    Shen Xin Yan¡¯s heart was hot. She couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Ying er, you have to remember, but if it¡¯s¡­Well. You¡¯re still young. What am I talking about?¡±


    She sighed vaguely and hugged gently. The ignorant little girl fell into her arms.


    It was her fault. She was a pretty failed mother. The tragedy of the daughter in the last life was ultimately caused by her poor upbringing.


    In the last life, she regarded her son as the only support for her whole life. She put her whole body and mind on her son. Although she also loved her daughter, she still ignored her.


    ¡°Mother will accompany Ying er more in the future.¡± She suppressed the grief in her heart and said softly.


    ¡°Really?¡± The little girl¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°It¡¯s true!¡±


    Shen Xin Yan smiled slightly. She suddenly found the goal of reliving her life ¨C raising her daughter, watching her grow up, marry and have children¡­ not to repeat the fate of the previous life.


    Yes, her life is probably like that in the last life. But her daughter is different. She can have a happy and comfortable future.


    With an idea in her mind, her smile became a little more relaxed unconsciously. Her forehead was against the little girl¡¯s, which caused the little girl to giggle happily.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°Is the madam in the room?¡±


    ¡°The madam and the fourth girl are talking in the room!¡±


    When the voice of the man in the sealed memory for a long time came in, Shen Xin Yan¡¯s heart twisted, and she bit her lip subconsciously.


    Husband¡­


    This famous dandy son in the capital has achieved nothing in his life. She was unwilling to marry him. Naturally, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to him.


    However, even this man, and only this man, no matter what mistakes she made, he always defended her unswervingly. If it weren¡¯t for his accidental death later, she would not have lost her biggest backer. No matter how much her son hated her, he would never have been able to send her to the family temple to live.


    Before she died in the last life, she had a brief sanity. What she thought most about was not the son she loved, resented and hated, nor the daughter-in-law who always looked down on her, but her husband who she had always looked down on, but defended her. It¡¯s her husband, Wei Jun Hang, who has been protecting her whole life.


    ¡°Ying er is there too? The little girl came back early.¡± Wei Jun Hang didn¡¯t know what was on his wife¡¯s mind. He lifted the curtain and entered with a smile.


    Although he has such a reputation as a ¡°dude¡±, he is still the son of an aristocratic family. Even if he is now in his twenties, Wei Jun Hang¡¯s appearance is not inferior to that of a young man. The brocade robe made him look taller and taller.


    Shen Xin Yan quickly calmed down her thoughts, holding her daughter¡¯s little hand to meet him: ¡°Master!¡±


    Wei Jun Hang scratched his ears when he met his wife¡¯s smiling face. He doesn¡¯t know if it was his delusion, but he always felt that the lady¡¯s smile was much gentler than usual, which made him a little secretly delighted.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be too polite, ma¡¯am.¡± He cleared his throat and supported Shen Xin Yan who was saluting. Then he looked straight at his wife uncontrollably.


    ¡°Daddy!¡± Xiao Ying Zhi¡¯s delicate and soft voice awakened Wei Jun Hang who was peeking at his wife¡¯s pretty face.


    ¡°Cough¡­, Daddy¡¯s good girl.¡± Wei Jun Hang retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened. He pursed his lips and let out a feigned cough. He stretched out his big palm and touched the top of his daughter¡¯s hair lovingly. He spread his palm, took out and handed it to Xiao Ying Zhi.


    ¡°Good. Ying¡¯er. Look at this. Do you look like this lucky doll? Daddy especially found it for you.¡± The little girl curiously took the jade doll to look at it. She smiled in surprise: ¡°Mother, this jade doll is like me. It has two buds tied up!¡±


    Shen Xin Yan also looked at the doll. She nodded with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s just like Ying er.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her daughter¡¯s big eyes sparkling.


    Seeing the smiles of his wife and daughter, the prince was very happy. He smiled into a cracked mouth, both happy and proud.


    Shen Xin Yan looked at his smile and couldn¡¯t help being a little lost.


    Compared with Wei Jun Ting, the famous and amazing former Prince of Ying Guo Gong Mansion, this man is not very promising. He has lived in the shadow of his elder brother all his life. Even though Wei Jun Ting has passed away many years, when people mention the prince, they always compared the two of them. People sighed that the Ying Guo Gong Mansion was afraid that there would be no successor.


    It¡¯s only this kind-hearted man who never takes those rumours to heart. Even if someone mocks him in the face for being useless, far inferior to Wei Jun Ting, who has been dead for many years, he is not annoyed at all but acknowledges it with a smile.


    Marrying him is not what she wanted. Especially after the sisters in the boudoir marry, they will always show off their husbands¡¯ achievements intentionally or unintentionally. They cast their eyes on her as if they pity her. There is always a sense of superiority and aloofness, which makes her give birth to a kind of incompetence.


    On the one hand is the husband who makes her lose face in front of her sisters. On the other is the excellent son who is excellent and gives her a face. Over time, her focus is more and more inclined toward her son. She only regards her son as her only support.


    She thought that if she hadn¡¯t taken her son so seriously in her last life and had not grasped it so tightly, maybe the chain of events that followed would not have happened.


    Or, as the strange voice she heard when the soul was floating said, what she did in the last life was nothing more than a ¡°widow mentality¡±?


    She curled her lips sarcastically.


    Even though she had a husband, son and daughter, she could still develop a ¡°widow mentality¡±. She ended up like that, which is considered self-inflicted.


    Wei Jun Hang coaxed his daughter absent-mindedly. His eyes were always involuntarily looking at his wife beside him. Seeing her expression was a bit sentimental, but also a bit self-deprecating, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.


    Why is the lady in such a low mood? Could it be that there is something depressed in her heart? Is it the son? Or Jing An Bo Fu? Shouldn¡¯t it be Jing An Bo Fu? He had met with his brother-in-law a few days ago. He didn¡¯t think there would be anything in his brother-in-law¡¯s house that would make his wife worry.


    If it¡¯s not Jing An Bo Fu, then is it the son? Thinking about it, she loves her son so much. But she can¡¯t take care of him herself. Except for the morning and evening and major festivals, it is not easy to see her son. After so many years, how can she not feel depressed!


    He found the answer in his heart, and he secretly made a decision.


    Shen Xin Yan didn¡¯t know how to make up the answer after only a short while. She calmed her mind, walked over and rescued her daughter, who was caught by the bad father. She had her head in a mess. She gave an angry look at a certain noble prince: ¡°Okay. How old are you? You are still arguing with the little girl?¡±


    Wei Jun Hang smiled with a good-tempered look.


    Shen Xin Yan ignored him. She took her daughter¡¯s little hands and took the wet handkerchief that Chun Liu handed over to wipe her face. She re-combed two flower buds for her. Then Chun Liu led her out.


    ¡°Just now, I heard from my sister-in-law that you withdrew a hundred taels from the public a few days ago. Is there something wrong?¡± Shen Xin Yan poured tea for Wei Jun Hang herself and asked him about the money.


    ¡°This, this, this is indeed the case.¡± Wei Jun Hang stammered and answered, avoiding her eyes with some guilty conscience.


    However, he was a little excited in his heart unconsciously. This is the first time that my wife took the initiative to ask about him!


    Thinking of this, his back straightened involuntarily, as if ¡®no matter what you ask, I¡¯ll answer honestly¡¯.


    Shen Xin Yan didn¡¯t pay attention to his thoughts, got up and entered the room.


    Wei Jun Hang stared blankly at her back. In a moment, his whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost. He sighed again and touched the end of his nose sullenly.


    When Shen Xin Yan came out of the room, what she saw was his listless appearance, stunned, and asked suspiciously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s okay.¡± Wei Jun Hang replied in a stern voice. Just looking at her eyes with a small grievance that can¡¯t be ignored.

 CH 6

    Shen Xin Yan was so amused by his small grievance and pitiful appearance that she couldn¡¯t help hooking the corners of her lips. She quickly pressed it down, went to sit beside him, shoved the gold-painted black brocade box she was holding into his hand and said: ¡°This is the profit from the shop that was sent a few days ago. Is it enough? If it is not enough, I will ask someone to pick it up later.¡±


    Wei Jun Hang opened it in a daze. Like being scorched by the fire, he pushed away the box, bounced from the seat with a ¡®whoosh¡¯, and stared at her with a blushing face: ¡°You, what do you mean by this?¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was startled by his reaction and was stunned when she heard such a question.


    ¡°I, Wei Jun Hang, can¡¯t do things like spending the wife¡¯s dowry money even if I am not capable. You, You, I, I.. I¡¯m going to be mad at you!¡± He wanted to teach her a lesson. But he looked at her face, which is as beautiful as a day for ten years, those words can¡¯t be said. The only thing he can do is drop such a sentence angrily.


    ¡°Master¡­¡± Qiu Tang, who was about to lift the curtain and enter, was suddenly shoved out of the room. Wei Jun Hang, who was blushing with anger, was startled. He didn¡¯t say anything and disappeared.


    She opened her mouth stupidly. She looked at the little girl beside her in disbelief: ¡°Just now that is Master, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes. That¡¯s Master.¡± The little girl weakly sent a sentence back.


    Qiu Tang¡¯s eyes widened.


    Master actually lost his temper at Madam? The sun is coming out from the west!


    You must know that this couple has always respected each other as guests. They have never quarrelled since they got married. Although Master is not very talented, he treats Madam very well. He has never said a word to Madam aloud, much less quarrelling.


    Shen Xin Yan in the room saw her husband rushing out of the door angrily. She was a little confused. But when she recalled Wei Jun Hang¡¯s words just now, she immediately understood why he was angry. She patted her forehead angrily.


    It¡¯s her fault. Why don¡¯t you be more euphemistic instead of giving people money just like this?


    ¡°Madam, Master, he¡­¡± Qiu Tang saw the annoyance on Madam¡¯s face when she entered the door.


    ¡°I did something stupid without thinking about it. It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll find him later and make it clear.¡± Although she was a little annoyed, Shen Xin Yan knew her husband¡¯s temperament better. So she wasn¡¯t too worried.


    Seeing her unconcerned appearance, Qiu Tang was also relieved.


    ¡°Mama Cui just now sent someone to send a package of high-quality bird¡¯s nest. But she didn¡¯t say the reason. This slave thought it a little strange. ¡± Qiu Tang said. She took leave yesterday to go home to visit her sick old lady. She didn¡¯t return until just now. So she didn¡¯t know what happened this morning.


    ¡°Since she brought it, you can keep it. Go back and stew it in the small kitchen. You, Chun Liu and Xia He will also try it. ¡± Shen Xin Yan didn¡¯t care much.


    No matter if this is what Fang Shi means or what the eldest princess means, is it possible that she can¡¯t even eat a few bowls of bird¡¯s nest?


    Qiu Tang responded with a crisp sound.


    In the room of the eldest princess of Ning An Courtyard.


    The eldest princess squinted her eyes and leaned on the soft couch. Mama Liang, who had served her most of her life, sat at her feet and pinched her legs with just enough strength.


    ¡°What do you think is the best way to handle the matter that Shen Shi mentioned?¡± The eldest princess suddenly opened her eyes and asked.


    Mama Liang paused for a moment, and said with a smile, ¡°The princess already has an idea in her heart. So why do you play tricks on this servant?¡±


    The eldest princess laughed. She shook her head and sighed: ¡°Shen Shi also has her own words. It¡¯s true. It¡¯s just¡­if I rely on her, I¡¯m afraid Bi Zhen will blame me in my heart.¡±


    ¡°Princess, you have grown up with the eldest lady, don¡¯t you know her yet? She is the most sensible. Although this change was proposed by Madam Shen, it is also for the good of the mansion. How can she blame you?¡± Mama Liang smiled reassuringly.


    The eldest princess thought about it and felt reasonable. Just thinking about the eldest son who passed away early, she couldn¡¯t help but sighed deeply: ¡°If Jun Ting is still here, there is no need for my old bones to worry about the mansion. Jun Hang is still far from qualified to be the heir. Even Shen Shi is not as good as Bi Zhen.¡±


    The words were referring to the masters of the mansion. Mama Liang didn¡¯t know what to say. So she just changed the subject and said, ¡°This slave just passed the martial arts training ground. I saw the eldest son dancing with the sword from a distance. That agile action, tsk tsk, It really has the style of the Duke.¡±


    Hearing her mention the most promising eldest grandson, the eldest princess¡¯s face showed a beaming smile. She said, ¡°Brother Lin, that child, is a motivated person. He is a hundred times stronger than his father! It¡¯s not in vain for his grandfather to teach him.¡±


    ¡°Princess is saying this now. But at the beginning, I didn¡¯t know which one shed tears on the Duke, blaming him for being too cruel. Training the fourth-year-old baby is like training a soldier.¡± Mama Liang teased.


    The eldest princess glared at her angrily: ¡°It¡¯s just you making fun of me!¡±


    Wei Jun Hang in the other room actually regretted it as soon as he walked out of his wife¡¯s courtyard. He only felt that his wife was well-intentioned. And he really didn¡¯t want to be angry at her.


    He paced back and forth in front of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, wanting to turn around and say soft words to his wife. But he was worried that she would turn her back on him. He couldn¡¯t make up his mind for a while. After thinking about the decision that he just made, he turned his footsteps and left in the direction of the East Courtyard.


    The martial arts training ground in the east courtyard.


    The young man danced with the wooden sword in his hand, stabbing, picking, or chopping, sometimes volleying into the air and sometimes falling to the ground. His moves were quite imposing. The martial arts master who watched him nodded again and again.


    When Wei Jun Hang came, this was what he saw.


    The martial arts teacher noticed his arrival and was about to come forward to greet him. Wei Jun Hang waved and shook his head at him. He understood after a little thought and bowed his hands at him.


    Wei Jun Hang touched his nose and stood aside to watch quietly. The more he looked, the more proud he became.


    Sure enough, he and his wife¡¯s good son, with a son like this, what can a husband ask for! See if those tortoise grandchildren dare to make fun of him behind his back in the future!


    Bah, even if he is useless, just having such an excellent son is enough to look down on the capital!


    Wei Cheng Lin took back the wooden sword. When he turned around, he saw his father, who had arrived at some point, was looking at him with a smile. Handing over the sword to the servant on the side, he said a few more words to the teacher and then walked towards Wei Jun Hang.


    ¡°Father!¡± He saluted respectfully and respectfully.


    ¡°This sword dances well, much better than Lady Nangong¡¯s dance!¡± Wei Jun Hang praised with a smile, unaware of the teacher¡¯s frown.


    Wei Cheng Lin pursed his lips and finally couldn¡¯t hold back his rebuttal: ¡°My boy is a manly man. How could my father compare him with such a dusty woman? Besides, the boy¡¯s sword is meant to be used to kill the enemy. It¡¯s not to be entertained like those women!¡±


    The gentleman on the side nodded in satisfaction.


    That¡¯s it!


    Wei Jun Hang was not annoyed after being rebutted by his son. His smile did not change, ¡°Yes, yes, it was my father who said the wrong thing!¡±


    This kid is good at everything. But his temperament is just like his grandfather¡¯s and he is very stubborn. It¡¯s boring. It¡¯s not as funny as Ying er girl. He muttered secretly.


    The martial arts teacher  shook his head helplessly. He stepped forward and bowed his hands to leave.


    Wei Jun Hang waved his hand indifferently.


    ¡°Father has something to order? If not, the child will have to go back to review his homework.¡± Wei Cheng Lin naturally knew his biological father¡¯s temperament.


    ¡°You child, no one is forcing you. It¡¯s okay to relax occasionally.¡±


    ¡°Grandfather always taught the child to be self-disciplined, but¡­¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, go as you want!¡± He has a headache.


    ¡°That being the case, the boy retires!¡± The self-disciplined boy bowed his hands and turned to leave.


    ¡°Slow down!¡± Only after his son had taken a few steps, did Wei Jun Hang remember his intention and hurriedly stop him.


    Wei Cheng Lin stopped and turned around, looking directly at his father with inquiring eyes.


    ¡°You can spend more time with your mother in the future. She¡¯s not doing very well recently.¡± Afraid that this little old-fashioned boy would give him another ¡®grandfather¡¯s teaching¡¯, he hurriedly stated his purpose.


    ¡°Mother is not in good health? Can you hire a doctor? What did the doctor say? Is there a serious problem?¡± The boy asked with anxiety on his face when he heard that his mother was not in good health.


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem. It¡¯s not a big problem. She just thinks about you from time to time. You live in the outer courtyard. Therefore, she worries and thinks more, and her body is a little weak.¡± Satisfied with his son¡¯s answer, he brushed off his non-existent beard.


    ¡°My child understands. Then as my father said, take more time to go back to my mother every day.¡± Wei Cheng Lin nodded.


    After getting a satisfactory result, Wei Jun Hang was very proud. He wanted to take his son back to find his wife now and show his merit in front of his wife by the way. But he was afraid that he would delay his son¡¯s studies and that he would be scolded by his father in the end. So he  stopped thinking about it.


    Thinking about it again, he was still a little unwilling that he wasted an opportunity to show his merit, and hurriedly said: ¡°Today, you will go back to accompany your mother for lunch. But you must remember it. You will only go back with me together.¡±


    Wei Cheng Lin was a little puzzled: ¡°The son can go back by himself. My father doesn¡¯t need to worry about me.¡±


    ¡°You just listen to me!¡± Wei Jun Hang stared at him and pretended to be a strict father.


    ¡°That being the case, the child will obey.¡± Wei Cheng Lin was also accustomed to his father¡¯s inconsistency. He nodded in agreement without arguing with him.


    ***


    The Duke who is over fifty years old smiled and rubbed his beard. Although his son is not up to his expectations, he has such an excellent grandson. It is just around the corner to revive the prestige of Ying Guo Gong Mansion.


    ¡°After a while, go and rehearse the marksmanship that grandfather taught you the day before yesterday. Our family started with martial arts. As a descendant of the Wei family, you must not leave your martial arts behind at any time.¡±


    ¡°Yes, grandson remembers grandfather¡¯s teachings!¡± Wei Cheng Lin responded respectfully. After a moment, he hesitantly said, ¡°Mother is sick. Grandson wants to go back to accompany her early for lunch.¡±


    ¡°If you are sick, go ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Then rest and recuperate¡­ that¡¯s all, just go!¡± How could he not know that this must be his daughter-in-law missing her son?


    She really is a loving mother! Thanks to his decisiveness, since the eldest grandson was three years old, he brought him to personally raise him, and never let him be wasted like his father.


    He couldn¡¯t help but have a headache when he thought of the second son who was not a successor.


    If the eldest son is still there, why does he need to be so diligent? Their mansion can achieve a higher level even without relying on the name of his wife, the eldest princess!


    Touching the left leg that had been unconscious for many years, and recalling the excellent eldest son who had passed away many years, his heart still couldn¡¯t help but throb.


    That was Wei¡¯s only hope! If he was still there, why would he need to drag his old bones to support his eldest grandson? How could the position of the heir of the Duke¡¯s Mansion fall to the second son who was not a successor!

 CH 7

    Shen Xin Yan never thought that her husband would give her such a ¡°big surprise¡±.


    She stared silently at the husband who came triumphantly to ask for credit, and then her eyes slowly turned to the little boy who was walking into the house. After a long time, she sighed inaudibly.


    If she hadn¡¯t experienced the previous life, she would have been ecstatic. However, after experiencing life and death, she found that she could no longer find a way to get along with her son. After all, those hurts happened. She could convince herself to forget about the people and things around her, but this is different. Because this is the son she once devoted herself to caring for.


    In all honesty, she was even a little afraid to have more contact with her son. She was afraid that she would inadvertently invest too much as in her previous life. She was even more afraid that she would be dominated by the hatred in her previous life and do something that she would regret to this young son.


    It can¡¯t be near. It can¡¯t be farther. Therefore, it is better to keep a distance that is not far or near and let her continue to perform her mother¡¯s duty.


    ¡°Madam, are you, are you unhappy?¡± Seeing her staring at him without saying a word, Wei Jun Hang was a little confused.


    ¡°¡­no, I¡¯m very happy. Thank you, Husband!¡±  After all, he¡¯s always her bloodline. Could it be that she can still avoid seeing him?


    ¡°Mother!¡± Wei Cheng Lin didn¡¯t know that in this short time, his mother had already experienced a lot of struggle. After coming up to greet her, he asked worriedly, ¡°Is mother in good health? Have you asked a doctor for a diagnosis?¡±


    After being stunned for a while, Shen Xin Yan quickly glanced at Wei Jun Hang, who was embarrassed and begging for mercy. A smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.


    ¡°Mother is fine now. Why don¡¯t you wipe the sweat? The weather is getting colder now. You can¡¯t just ignore it just because you are young and healthy.¡± Seeing that her son¡¯s temples were wet, she habitually pulled him closer and gently wipe the sweat off him.


    Wei Cheng Lin felt uncomfortable for a moment. But when he leaned into a soft and fragrant embrace, the whole person relaxed involuntarily. He even unconsciously cuddled his mother.


    When Shen Xin Yan noticed his closeness, she was stunned. She lowered her eyes to hide the complexities in her eyes, carefully cleaned his hands for him, and then ordered Chun Liu to take her daughter and tell Xia He to pass the meal.


    Seeing the mother and son hug each other affectionately, Wei Jun Hang cracked his mouth and smiled with joy.


    It seems that he made the right move.


    During lunch that day, the Fu Ning Courtyard changed from its usual ¡°no speaking during the meal¡±. From time to time, men¡¯s hearty voices, children¡¯s soft coquettish voices, and woman¡¯s helpless reprimands were heard outside the door. The maids looked at each other and smiled. The colour of joy between their brows was very strong.


    ¡°Mother, don¡¯t you want radishes?¡± Xiao Ying Zhi acted coquettishly at her mother. Seeing her mother¡¯s stern face, she knew her mother wouldn¡¯t. So she turned around and begged her father, ¡°Father¡ª¡± A soft, waxy and sweet voice called. As soon as it sounded, the unscrupulous father surrendered: ¡°Okay, no radish, no radish.¡±


    ¡°Sir!¡± Shen Xin Yan glared at someone who was holding his chopsticks into her daughter¡¯s bowl, intending to get rid of the nasty radish for her.


    Wei Jun Hang was stared at by her. His hands turned stiffly. He picked up a piece of chicken and threw it into his son¡¯s bowl, and said dryly, ¡°Son, eat more.¡±


    ¡°Well, thank you, father!¡± A smile flashed in Wei Cheng Lin¡¯s eyes. Looking at his mother with a sullen face and at his younger sister, who pouted and poked at the radish with an aggrieved expression, his smile couldn¡¯t help but grow a little more.


    ¡°Children can¡¯t be picky eaters. Otherwise, they won¡¯t grow taller in the future.¡± The little girl was too picky. Shen Xin Yan had to scare her.


    ¡°Liar, the eldest uncle doesn¡¯t eat radishes. But he is very tall!¡± The little girl retorted plausibly.


    Shen Xin Yan was choked by her, and rubbed her forehead with a headache: ¡°If your uncle ate radishes back then, he might have grown taller.¡±


    ¡°I only need to be as tall as uncle¡­¡± The little girl muttered in dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Ying er is a woman. My eldest uncle is a man. So my eldest uncle can grow as tall as he is without eating radishes, but Ying er can¡¯t. Look, my brother also wants to eat radishes.¡± Wei Cheng Lin put down his silver chopsticks, and explained to his sister seriously.


    The little girl looked into his bowl and saw that there was a large piece of radish in it. She could only reluctantly say: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll just eat it.¡±


    Seeing that my sister ate it honestly, Wei Cheng Lin smiled slightly. He reached out and rubbed the little girl¡¯s head to show her compliment.


    Shen Xin Yan looked at such a scene with a bit of a daze.


    Maybe it¡¯s too long ago, so far away that she can¡¯t remember the time when her two children were so affectionate.


    She hurriedly lowered her eyes to hide her reddish eyes. But in her mind, the scenes of her son protecting Zhou Wan Ning and scolding her daughter again and again in her previous life always appeared.


    ¡°Madam, try this. It tastes pretty good.¡± A chopstick was suddenly stuffed into the bowl. She looked up subconsciously and saw Wei Jun Hang¡¯s slightly flattering face.


    She pursed her lips. After a while, she said softly, ¡°Thank you, husband./f¡±


    Wei Jun Hang giggled a few times. He prepared dishes for her diligently, making Shen Xin Yan unable to laugh or cry.


    ¡°Sir, enough is enough. You have to eat more yourself.¡± The husband and wife, you are holding this for me, I am holding that for you. Xiao Ying Zhi, who is pulling the bowl on the side, rolls her eyes a few times. She found it interesting, and also imitated his father¡¯s appearance and poked a piece of radish into his mother¡¯s bowl, and said in a milky voice: ¡°Mother, you eat.¡±


    In the end, she poked another piece and sent it into his brother¡¯s bowl: ¡°Brother, you also eat.¡±


    ¡°Daddy eats too!¡± Of course, the little girl wouldn¡¯t miss her daddy who loved her.


    Seeing that the plate with the radishes was empty, the little girl covered her mouth and snickered happily.


    How could Shen Xin Yan not see the little girl¡¯s idea?  Pinching her nose amusingly: ¡°Little villain, you have the most mischievous ideas!¡±


    The little girl giggled smugly, making everyone present amused.


    The family of four had a happy lunch and then went to the garden to relax. Seeing that the daughter¡¯s head was little by little down, and her big eyes were about to close, Shen Xin Yan ordered Mama Sun to carry the little girl back to the room.


    ¡°Lin er, you too go back to the room and sleep for a while, so that you will have the energy to continue the class in the afternoon.¡± Then, she took the cloak handed over by Chun Liu and tied it to her son herself.


    ¡°Yes. Mother. Father. The child retires.¡± Wei Cheng Lin nodded and bowed before leaving.


    ¡°This child has such a straight-forward temperament. I don¡¯t have¡­¡± The prince on the side whispered. He swallowed the unfinished words when he received a look of resentment from his wife.


    The husband and wife went back to the house. Shen Xin Yan hesitated for a moment and was about to explain to him about the previous incident, but Wei Jun Hang took the lead in grabbing the words: ¡°Well, ma¡¯am, it¡¯s my fault this morning. I shouldn¡¯t lose my temper to you casually.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned. After a while, she said softly: ¡°Why is it your fault? It¡¯s my lack of thoughtfulness in doing things.¡±


    ¡°No, no, no, it¡¯s my fault. No matter what, I can¡¯t just lose my temper. ¡°Wei Jun Hang shook his head like a rattle.


    Shen Xin Yan stared at him for a moment and said with an expression: ¡°Forget it. Since the matter has passed, let¡¯s not talk about it anymore! It¡¯s just that you and I are husband and wife. Husband and wife are one body. I¡¯m not talented, but I would like to do my best to share your worries.¡±


    Wei Jun Hang opened his mouth in surprise, but his heart was bubbling with beauty.


    Madam said husband and wife are one body!


    The more he thinks about it, the more beautiful it becomes. The more he thinks about it, the bigger his smile is. In the end, that extremely bright smile almost blinds other people¡¯s eyes.


    Shen Xin Yan was a little embarrassed by his smile: ¡°What are you laughing at? You are not allowed to laugh!¡±


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t laugh, don¡¯t laugh anymore.¡± Although the smile on his face was reluctantly suppressed, the light in his eyes shone brightly, tightly locking her face.


    ¡°You, I¡¯ll be annoyed if you do this again!¡± His gaze was so scorching that Shen Xin Yan couldn¡¯t bear it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be annoyed. Don¡¯t be annoyed. I, I¡­¡± Hearing that she was going to be annoyed, Wei Jun Hang became anxious. He immediately changed the subject, ¡°I¡¯m not short of silver taels now. The one hundred taels before were to lend it to someone else for an emergency.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was indeed bypassed by him. She just nodded after listening and didn¡¯t ask to who he lent the money.


    On the other hand, Wei Jun Hang touched his nose a little embarrassedly and explained, ¡°I lent it to Yan He Nian, the third young master of the Duke of Zheng¡¯s mansion.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was really surprised: ¡°You have a relationship with the third young master Yan?¡±


    Why didn¡¯t she know that my husband has a friendship with the future black-faced Hade?


    ¡°I can¡¯t say that we have any friendship. We just drank wine together. I saw that he was a little tight on money, so I lent him.¡± Wei Jun Hang answered vaguely, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that his wife would ask about the reason why Yan He Nian borrowed money.


    ¡°That¡¯s how it is.¡± Fortunately, Shen Xin Yan didn¡¯t intend to pursue it. She just nodded slightly, as if thinking of something, and shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m also confused. You can still buy a jade pendant for Ying er. It doesn¡¯t look like you¡¯re short of money.¡±


    Wei Jun Hang stammered: ¡°Next time, I will buy you jewellery from Linglong Pavilion, okay?¡±


    Seeing that his wife was still smiling, he hurriedly said, ¡°I will also buy you a dress from Nishang Xuan. Just buy the most beautiful, one-of-a-kind ones! I will also buy some of the new dim sums from Bai Wei Lou for you. If you like it, I will find a way to invite the chef back¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Shen Xin Yan couldn¡¯t hold her face any longer, and gave him an angry look: ¡°You think I¡¯m the one with shallow eyelids? I don¡¯t like those jewellery and dresses. Besides, you¡¯re not afraid to blow the cowhide. Who is the owner of Bai Wei Lou? You also need to touch their chef!¡±


    Wei Jun Hang felt relieved by her anger, and then looked at his wife¡¯s moist black eyes and slightly pouted mouth. She looks so cute!


    He scratched the back of his head humbly and said with a little smugness: ¡°Others are helpless, but they don¡¯t include me. Ning Wang owes me a huge favour. Not to mention that I just want a cook. Even if I want his heart and soul, he has to offer it obediently.¡±


    The word ¡®Ning Wang¡¯ came into her ears. Shen Xin Yan frowned subconsciously. Don¡¯t blame her for not wanting to hear about Ning Wang. This person was a famous Hua Hua Tai Sui1 in the capital. Taking a concubine is as common as eating. No one¡¯s wife would want her husband to mix with him.


    On the other hand, Wei Jun Hang was still ignorant.


    ¡°¡­Ning Wang is so obsessed. How can he still be vigilant? Even the soul was almost hooked by the woman. If it wasn¡¯t for me to be alert, I noticed the woman¡¯s origin early in the morning and have taken precautions. Maybe the next morning, the one who was thrown on the street will be Ning Wang.  Such a great kindness, you say that fellow¡­¡±


    ¡°You and Ning Wang go to that kind of place to drink?¡± The triumphant voice came to an abrupt end.


    It is an idiom. It means officials and local tyrants who dress gorgeously, do not do business, and only concentrate on eating, drinking and having fun. Or a playboy.

 CH 8

    He only realized this later. It seems¡­ It seems maybe these words are not suitable for talking to his wife!


    He glanced at the woman beside him with a guilty conscience. When he met her half-smiling face, he became more and more guilty. Especially when he heard a light hum from the other party, he panicked immediately and swore to the heavens: ¡°I just sat for a while, had a drink and left!¡±


    ¡°Just a drink, huh?¡± Shen Xin Yan said again. She doesn¡¯t believe what he said.


    ¡°Just, just, one, one cup.¡± Wei Jun Hang¡¯s eyes wandered around. He didn¡¯t dare to look at her.


    ¡°You and Ning Wang often spend time together?¡±


    ¡°Ah? Oh, no, not often. It¡¯s just that when I occasionally met him on the street, I said a few polite words. Madam, really, I only had a drink with him once. I¡¯m not lying to coax you! If you don¡¯t like it, I will detour when I see him in the future!¡± He expressed his loyalty in a hurry.


    Shen Xin Yan was choked by him. She cleared her throat and said helplessly: ¡°I¡¯m not restricting you from interacting with him. He is a prince after all. There is nothing wrong with getting to know him. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m afraid of you¡­ Well, alcohol can easily hurt you. ¡°


    Wei Jun Hang was stunned for a while as if he didn¡¯t understand what she said. After thinking for a while, there was a big smile on his face.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll listen to Madam!¡± He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.


    When Shen Xin Yan glanced at him, she couldn¡¯t ignore the too-bright smile on his face. She doesn¡¯t know why. But she suddenly feels guilty. She hurriedly turns her face as if she does not dare to look at his face.


    Seeing this, Wei Jun Hang¡¯s smile grew brighter.


    ¡°What are you laughing at? Your mouth is split behind your ears!¡± Shen Xin Yan raised her face.


    ¡°Hee hee, hehe¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­Stop laughing like a fool!¡± She scolded with a bit of embarrassment.


    ¡°Well, okay. I¡¯ll stop laughing. Hee hee¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± Shen Xin Yan decided to ignore this fool.


    Wei Jun Hang didn¡¯t care either. He looked at his wife, who was rarely embarrassed, with a smile in his heart.


    Hee hee, Madam must be jealous. The more he thinks about it, the happier he becomes and the more uncontrollable his smile becomes.


    Shen Xin Yan stroked her forehead.


    How could she never know that this man is so stupid?


    ***


    When Qiu Tang brought back all the next month¡¯s monthly allowances for Fu Ning Courtyard, Shen Xin Yan was not surprised. Looking at the excited maids in the house, she also raised the corner of her mouth slightly.


    Although this incident didn¡¯t hurt Fang Shi¡¯s muscles and bones, it at least dampened her spirit. Of course, the most important thing is to benefit yourself.


    ¡°It¡¯s good now. I don¡¯t have to go to the public to see other people¡¯s faces if I want to buy something in the future!¡± Chun Liu¡¯s face blushed with excitement.


    ¡°Yes. It¡¯s obviously the regular money in our yard. But when it¡¯s time to use it, you still ask your grandfather to tell your grandma. It¡¯s really suffocating. This time, it¡¯s a good thing!¡± Xia He¡¯s eyes were also shining. She was so excited that the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball.


    ¡± Just know it in your heart. But you can¡¯t say these words outside. If you are accused of criticizing your master, I¡¯ll see what happens to you!¡± Qiu Tang, who has always been stable, whispered.


    ¡°I know, don¡¯t worry!¡±


    ¡°Okay, just put everyone¡¯s monthly money in order and send it on!¡± Shen Xin Yan instructed and handed the invitation card in her hand to Chun Liu to put it away.


    Qiu Tang goes down.


    ¡°Kangjun Princess¡¯s post on the Hundred Flowers Banquet? Is Madam planning to go?¡± Chun Liu glanced at the post and asked curiously.


    ¡°We still have to give a face to the Princess. Besides, I have nothing to do lately. I¡¯ll go and see flowers to relax my mind.¡± Shen Xin Yan disagreed.


    The Hundred Flowers Banquet of Princess Kangjun is quite famous in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, not only because of the amazing number of exotic flowers and plants in the garden of Princess Kangjun, but the most important thing is the countless marriages that this Hundred Flowers Banquet has achieved since it was held. Even wives with school-age children at home are quite willing to attend.


    Over time, Princess Kangjun¡¯s Hundred Flowers Banquet has become synonymous with the future daughter-in-law candidates of each family¡¯s wife.


    There are no men of the right age in the younger generation of Ying Guo Gong Mansion. The second girl from Fang Shi is only twelve years old now, and it is still too early to get engaged. And her marriage has nothing to do with Shen Xin Yan, the second aunt. So she is really planning to go to see those precious flowers and plants in Kangjun Wang Fu.


    ¡°Second sister-in-law is in the house?¡± Yang Shi¡¯s voice suddenly came from outside the house. Shen Xin Yan raised her head and saw Yang Shi smilingly walking into the house.


    ¡°The weather is so good outside. Why doesn¡¯t the second sister-in-law go out for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery in our mansion?!¡±


    ¡°The third sister-in-law is here. Please take a seat. Chun Liu, serve tea!¡± Shen Xin Yan got up and greeted her.


    ¡°Second sister-in-law can train people. This Chun Liu girl is smart at first glance.¡± Yang Shi took the teacup offered by Chun Liu and praised it with a smile.


    ¡°Don¡¯t praise her. This girl can¡¯t be praised. Her tail will be lifted when you praise her.¡± Shen Xin Yan covered her mouth and smiled.


    ¡°Madam!¡± Chun Liu stomped her feet in shame, and she turned around and backed out.


    ¡°Look, she has such a big temper!¡± Shen Xin Yan laughed lightly but there was no hesitation in her expression.


    Yan Shi looked at this scene. She can see it naturally. She also joked a few times, and then she said with deep meaning: ¡°From now on, we can really be our own masters! This is still thanks to my second sister-in-law¡¯s blessing.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan knew what she was referring to. She just smiled but didn¡¯t answer her.


    Yang Shi didn¡¯t care. She could see it. This second sister-in-law is used to fooling people. Even the eldest princess and Fang Shi couldn¡¯t see it.


    Look at this shot. She took a piece of meat from Fang¡¯s mouth and brought it back.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you see Ying girl?¡± Yang Shi asked a few more casual words.


    ¡°I think she¡¯s at her grandmother¡¯s place now. Yesterday, she whispered about the delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cake at her grandmother¡¯s place. If she doesn¡¯t eat enough of it today, she¡¯ll definitely refuse to come back, this greedy girl!¡± When she asked about her daughter, Shen Xin Yan couldn¡¯t stop the smile on her face.


    ¡°How can a child not be greedy? Only the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the mother¡¯s courtyard is indeed better than the ones made elsewhere. Not to mention Ying girl, even I am greedy for it.¡± Yang Shi said with a smile.


    The two talked about the girls¡¯ interesting stories for a while, and then Yang Shi said casually, ¡°I just came here, and I saw my eldest sister-in-law taking a girl to mother¡¯s yard from a distance. I saw that the girl was somewhat similar to her. Could it be that the younger sister from her mother¡¯s family has returned to the capital?¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned. She shook her head and said, ¡°I have never heard of this. If it was that girl, it would be normal for her to visit her sister whom she hadn¡¯t seen for many years.¡±


    ¡°I probably remember that girl. Is she almost seventeen? Could it be that she is going back to the capital to prepare for marriage?¡± Yang Shi paused, covered his mouth and smiled again, ¡°That¡¯s it. Although Marquis Pingliang was expelled from the capital by the sage back then, he was from the capital after all. His daughter will naturally have to go back to the capital to prepare for marriage.¡±


    After speaking, Yang Shi thought of Fang family¡¯s  downfall, she couldn¡¯t help giggling. Her laughter couldn¡¯t hide the schadenfreude.


    Shen Xin Yan smiled and didn¡¯t tell her that this girl Fang had never set a marriage and naturally, she had nothing to say about marriage. At this moment, she also remembered that Fang¡¯s younger sister also entered the mansion in the previous life, and the period when the Fang family girl was in the mansion was also the time when Fang Shi was the closest to her.


    Just because Fang Shi asked her to take her sister to various banquets in the capital so that she could have a good marriage in the future.


    In this life, Fang Shi still has to rely on her.


    Yang Shi sat down for a quarter of an hour and then said goodbye.


    At this time, in the side hall, Xia He and two stewards were distributing monthly money for the servants.


    ¡°Miss Lian Xiang, this is yours, you ca n take it with your fingerpfingerprinta Wang set aside a portion of the monthly money and said to Lian Xiang in front of her.


    Lian Xiang thanked her in a low voice, pressed her fingers, and then took the monthly money that belonged to her, but she did not leave like the others who took the money.


    ¡°Anything else?¡± Xia He, who was facing the booklet, raised her head to see her expression of hesitating to speak. Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she opened her mouth to ask.


    ¡°Sister, where¡¯s Shizi Ye1¡®s?¡± Lian Xiang lightly bit her lips and asked in a low voice.


    ¡°Shizi Ye¡¯s?¡± Xia He put down the pen in her hand, and said with a smile that¡¯s not a smile, ¡°I don¡¯t understand this. What is the identity of the girl? I don¡¯t know when Shizi Ye¡¯s things will be taken care of by you? ¡°


    Lian Xiang¡¯s face turned red with a swipe, but she didn¡¯t dare to offend her, she said like a mosquito: ¡°I said something wrong, don¡¯t be annoyed sister.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t dare to be. The girl is the celebrity beside the master. Maybe you will be able to be half the master in the future. I¡¯m just a slave. I can¡¯t afford it!¡± Xia He sneered.


    Lian Xiang apologized in a low voice. Her face was red. When she was about to leave, the little girl who had been following behind her dissatisfiedly said, ¡°Sister Xia He, what does this mean? Sister Lian Xiang is just asking one more question. Besides, Sister Lian Xiang has always received the monthly money from Shizi Ye, but now she¡­¡±


    ¡°Crack!¡± With a heavy slap on the desk, she blocked the angry little girl¡¯s words back.


    Xia He looked coldly at her, whose face was slightly pale, and said in a cold tone: ¡°Listen to what you mean, your sister Lian Xiang has worked hard, even the wife of the prince is unmatched? Is it that Madam have to give up the position to your sister Lian Xiang?!¡±


    ¡°Sister forgive me. Dong¡¯er didn¡¯t mean that, please forgive her.¡± Lian Xiang¡¯s face turned pale, and there was even a cold sweat on her forehead. She just didn¡¯t kneel down to Xia He and begged for mercy on the spot.


    ¡°Yo, Miss Xia He is so majestic. If I didn¡¯t know, I would have thought you were the master!¡± The woman¡¯s slightly sharp voice came from not far behind Lian Xiang. Lian Xiang looked back. She was anxious and afraid. Seeing Xia He¡¯s face filled with annoyance, she quickly stepped forward, grabbed the woman¡¯s cuff and begged, ¡°Mother, please stop talking! You are doing this. Do you want to harm me forever?¡±


    Only she knew the reason why she could stay with Shizi. If she offended someone on Madam¡¯s side, no need for Madam to do anything. Shizi Ye will be the first person who will never forgive her.


    ¡°You are so boneless that you are bullied to the head! What are you afraid of? She is from the wife¡¯s side, but you are the eldest princess¡¯s room for Shizi Ye. It¡¯s her¡­ What are you doing? I haven¡¯t received my monthly money yet! Hey, don¡¯t drag me! You damn girl¡­¡± Lian Xiang did not dare to let her say it again and tried her best to drag her away, making the woman scold her.


    Everyone present was gloating, sympathetic, and disdainful, but no one dared to say anything.


    The opponents all left, and Xia He, who wanted to fight back, suddenly became angry. Qiu Tang, who was walking in, was puzzled: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What are you so angry about that your face is so red?¡±


    It refers to Wei Jun Hang. He is the heir. I just use Chinese term. It¡¯s better.

 CH 9

    ¡°How dare I be angry with the other! The other is Lian Xiang Yi Niang1¡®s mother, half the master!¡± Xia He said sarcastically. Then she turned around and walked away with a sullen face.


    ¡°What Lian Xiang Yi Niang! Where did this Yi Niang come from? What the hell is this girl saying?¡± Qiu Tang was confused. Mama Wang, who was beside her, whispered to her what had just happened.


    Qiu Tang frowned. She rubbed her forehead irritably.


    This piece of charcoal2! What are the people over there doing?


    Shen Xin Yan also heard about what happened in the side hall.


    ¡°Madam is just too good-natured which makes the hearts of those who can¡¯t get on the stage big. Right now, she is only a maid. But she dares to think about the things of Shizi Ye! And her old lady, maybe she is still saying herself in the name of ¡®Shizi Ye¡¯s mother-in-law¡¯ outside!¡± Xia He said angrily.


    ¡°What¡¯s ¡®Shizi Ye¡¯s mother-in-law¡¯! Can this thing be messed up?¡± Qiu Tang, who happened to lift the curtain, heard her words and said angrily.


    Xia He pouted. She was still full of resentment.


    ¡°I think Sister Xia He¡¯s words are justified. Madam is still too soft-hearted. What is Lian Xiang? In the past, Madam asked her to receive the monthly money from the Shizi Ye for the convenience of Shizi Ye. Now her heart has risen.¡± Chun Liu hummed and followed.


    ¡°I just reprimanded Xia He. Why are you also here to join in the fun?¡± Qiu Tang poked her forehead and said angrily.


    Chun Liu covered her forehead and pursed her mouth.


    Shen Xin Yan listened to the words of the girls quietly and didn¡¯t say anything.


    It was also at this time that she remembered that her husband still had a maid.


    She damaged her body when she gave birth to her daughter. The doctor asserted that she needed to take care of her body for three to five years. Although the inner house of Ying Guo Gong Mansion is peaceful, it does not mean that there are no concubines. Even the Duke, the eldest princess¡¯s husband, has a concubine.


    Wei Jun Hang is a horse without a rein. He doesn¡¯t spend much time in the mansion. And he doesn¡¯t care much about women¡¯s sex while Shen Xin Yan¡¯s whole heart is on her children. She doesn¡¯t care about her husband¡¯s affairs. Seeing him like this, she also has no intention of setting up a concubine room for him or something.


    Although the two of them have no intentions, they can¡¯t stand the eldest princess who is a mother and feel sorry for her son! Although it is not enough to skip the daughter-in-law and directly take a concubine for his son, the maid of the house has given it a few times.


    Shen Xin Yan remembered that the maids around Wei Jun Hang didn¡¯t stay for long, and she didn¡¯t know why. When she occasionally thought about seeing those maids, she was surprised to find that either she was kicked out by the prince, or she had already been sent away.


    Finally, this Lian Xiang has stayed by Wei Jun Hang¡¯s side for the longest time now.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s something that can¡¯t be put on the table, why should you take it to heart? After all, it¡¯s someone from Shizi Ye¡¯s side, and she came out of the courtyard of the eldest princess. Even if you don¡¯t look at the monk¡¯s face, you have to look at the Buddha¡¯s face. Today¡¯s matter, Xia He is indeed a bit reckless.¡± After a moment, she said calmly.


    What about Lian Xiang or Ou Xiang? In the end, she couldn¡¯t escape the end of being kicked out. If she cared about her existence, it would be looking at her too highly.


    At least, Wei Jun Hang didn¡¯t have a concubine in his last life! Naturally, there are no concubine sons and daughters. So what else is she not satisfied with?


    When Xia He heard this, her eyes turned red with a grievance.


    Shen Xin Yan sighed secretly.


    This girl has a strong temperament. She can¡¯t accommodate the sand in her eyes. She is loyal to her, but she doesn¡¯t know that if her reckless temperament is not restrained, she will suffer a big loss in the future.


    This was the case in her last life.  Xia He became the first girl beside her to die in the battle at the back house.


    This time, she wanted to tone down her temper. So she didn¡¯t say anything to relieve her. Xia He¡¯s eyes are gradually filled with more tears. Shen Xin Yan watched her backing out while sobbing, only then did she wink at Qiu Tang.


    Qiu Tang understood. She saluted her. Then she followed Xia He and walked out.


    When Xia He came back afternoon, her mood had calmed down. Occasionally, she looked at Shen Xin Yan with a bit of shame on her face.


    ¡°Madam, it was the servant¡¯s mistake that happened this morning. I shouldn¡¯t be so aggressive in front of everyone.¡± Finally, she couldn¡¯t hold back. She knelt down and recognized her mistake.


    Shen Xin Yan personally helped her up and said warmly, ¡°You can think like this. It shows that you didn¡¯t waste your sister Qiu Tang¡¯s teaching. However, I still have a few words to tell you.¡±


    ¡°Madam, please say.¡±


    ¡°You are the capable person around me. You also represent the face of our Fu Ning Courtyard when I go outside. So you can¡¯t just argue with everyone. You have to refrain from your temper  Although Lian Xiang is the person next to Shizi, if she doesn¡¯t understand the rules, you will reprimand her. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that. It¡¯s just that little girl Dong¡¯er. Won¡¯t you lose your identity in vain by fighting with her?¡±


    ¡°And that woman, since she¡¯s rude, she has Wang mama to teach her a lesson. You are still an unmarried girl. It¡¯s not appropriate to argue with her.¡±


    The girls around her, she intends to give them a good marriage in this life. She doesn¡¯t want to damage their reputation for some random people.


    ¡°I see.¡± Xia He blushed and nodded.


    In the other courtyard, Wei Jun Hang, who had just returned from outside, washed his hands and cleaned his face, and took the cotton handkerchief handed over by the maid beside him to wipe his face. Only then did he realize that Lian Xiang came in at some point and was taking over from the little girl and handing him the handkerchief.


    He didn¡¯t care either, and ordered, ¡°Go on!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he didn¡¯t even look at her. He went into the inner room with the silver he had recovered from today and took out his treasure box. He counted and counted the silver while putting it in and said to himself: ¡°This money is almost enough to buy a piece of fine jewellery from the Linglong Pavilion for Madam, but it¡¯s better to save some more.¡± He put the treasure box back in the cabinet and put a lock on it. When he turned around, he suddenly remembered something, and called out loudly: ¡°Lian Xiang!¡±


    Lian Xiang responded: ¡°Yes, Shizi Ye¡±


    ¡°I remember that today is the day when the mansion issues monthly silver?¡±  He asked while rubbing his smooth chin.


    Lian Xiang lowered her head and answered back: ¡°Master remembers correctly. Today is indeed the day when silver money is issued. It¡¯s just that the slave can¡¯t retrieve Shizi Ye¡¯s monthly silver. ¡°


    ¡°You can¡¯t retrieve? Why is this?¡± Wei Jun Hang was in a hurry. The tone was also a little heavier unconsciously.


    Lian Xiang lowered her head even lower: ¡°The slave doesn¡¯t know about this either. Sister Xia He only said that the status of slaves is out of reach.¡±


    Wei Jun Hang was even more confused: ¡°Is Xia He the girl who has been waiting at the lady¡¯s place? Why is the monthly silver matter related to her?¡±


    ¡°Shizi Ye doesn¡¯t know. From this month, the monthly silver in each courtyard will be distributed by the master of each courtyard and the public will no longer be responsible for this matter.¡±


    ¡°So it is!¡± Wei Jun Hang suddenly realized. He then happily said: ¡°It¡¯s better to be in charge of Madam!¡±


    Lian Xiang saw that he didn¡¯t ask about Xia He anymore. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. But she just remembered her identity and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. So she quietly exited the door.


    ¡°Sister, why don¡¯t you tell Shizi the grievance you have suffered, and ask Shizi to decide for you?¡± The girl Dong¡¯er asked unwillingly when she saw her walking out quietly.


    ¡°Dong¡¯er, you have to remember this sentence ¡®Be cautious with your words and deeds.¡¯. If you say the wrong thing again, I won¡¯t be able to save you.¡± Lian Xiang frowned, her face a little hesitant.


    Dong¡¯er¡¯s mouth quivered a few times but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything.


    Ask the prince to be the master for herself? Back in the room, Lian Xiang taunted the corners of her mouth.


    Why should Shizi be the master for her? Just because of the name of this unreal ¡®Tong Fang Ya Tou3¡®?


    If she really said anything about Madam in front of Shizi, the next person to be kicked out would be herself.


    Now, this is the best. She could just do her errand in peace.


    Shen Xin Yan really doesn¡¯t take that Lian Xiang in her eyes, a girl who can¡¯t find any trouble.  Even if she is given by the eldest princess, her future and destiny are in her own hands.


    It¡¯s just that after this incident, she wakes up to how irresponsible she is as a wife. Just how big the heart of this wife of Shizi is!


    ¡°Madam should have done this a long time ago. Although Shizi Ye has never cared about women¡¯s beauty, we just can¡¯t ignore these hooves who become audacious. It can be slowed down for the time being. First, the slave will sort out the people who are serving Shizi Ye. Who should be beaten, should be beaten. Who should be expelled, should be expelled. If not, when there is something in the future, is it not Madam who regrets it?¡± When Wang Mama heard about Shen Xin Yan¡¯s plan to clean up, she agreed wholeheartedly.


    Shen Xin Yan smiled slightly: ¡°It will take a lot of trouble for Mama.¡±


    ¡°Madam, this is the slave maid¡¯s duty!¡± Wang mama said that she didn¡¯t dare to trouble Madam. Then she stepped back full of fighting spirit.


    There are a few stubborn hooves in Shizi¡¯s courtyard. She has been disgusted with them for a long time. Now let¡¯s see how she peels off their goblin skins!


    ***


    ¡°Second sister-in-law has been very resolute recently! It¡¯s really a blockbuster. It¡¯s just that the second sister-in-law needs to act in a measured way. It would not be good if she has a reputation for being jealous and intolerant.¡± On this day, Shen Xin Yan went to the eldest princess to greet her as usual. While she was waiting, she listened to Yang¡¯s typical sarcasm.


    ¡°The servants are restless. They are provoking right and wrong everywhere. How can we make the inner house clear if they are not rectified?¡± Before Shen Xin Yan could say anything, she unexpectedly heard Fang Shi¡¯s words. There was some meaning to speak for her in those words.


    Yang Shi did not expect Fang Shi to speak out to help Shen Xin Yan. It was obvious that Shen Xin Yan had only shown her face like that not long ago.


    ¡°The third sister-in-law is really a virtuous person. She specially picked a sweet and beautiful girl, Xu Yiniang, to serve third younger brother. I wondered why the third younger brother¡¯s face was ruddy and radiant these days. It was all thanks to the third younger sister-in-law.¡± Shen Xin Yan replied with a smile. She naturally did not want to be the one who was so angry but she only dared to choke in his stomach like in the last life.


    Yang Shi¡¯s face changed. She was clearly embarrassed but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything.


    Everyone in the manor knew that the third master was so fond of the newly acquired concubine. Because of that Concubine Xu, the third lady was repeatedly angry to the point of pain in her heart.


    Fang Shi glanced at Shen Xin Yan without a trace. Then she lowered her eyes but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Speaking all the way to poke into other¡¯s heart, these two younger siblings¡­


    Concubine


    A metaphor for someone who is quick-tempered and prone to attacks.


    Tong Fang Ya Tou- this is a servant girl especially for master to sleep with. She is not a concubine yet.

 CH 10

    Successfully stabbed Yang Shi¡¯s heart, Shen Xin Yan took a small sip from the teacup beside her with a smile. She saw the eldest princess walking out from behind the standing screen with a smile on her face, supported by a young girl in purple.


    When she saw the girl, she recognized that she was Fang Bi Rong, the younger sister of Fang Shi and the youngest daughter of Marquis Pingliang. Looking at the attitude of the eldest princess, as expected, she treated Fang Bi Rong with love and affection as she did in her past life.


    Speaking of which, although Fang Bi Rong is a daughter of Marquis, her life is not very good. She is ten years apart from her eldest sister, Fang Shi. It¡¯s reasonable to think that she should have grown up lovingly. Who would have thought that the Marquis of Pingliang offended the current sage more than ten years ago? He was exiled by the current sage as a local official. A good Marquis was exiled from the capital in such a sullen manner. So the Marquis of Pingliang became a joke in the capital.


    This Fang Bi Rong also left the capital with her parents when she was still a baby. It was only now that she was 16 years old. So she was sent back to the capital by the couple to entrust her to their eldest daughter, Fang Shi, just to take advantage of the influence of the Ying Guo Gong Mansion to find a good marriage.


    Compared with the younger sister, Fang Shi is better. When the Marquis of Pingliang was defeated, she had already married into the Ying Guo Gong Mansion, and her position in the mansion was also stable. The Duchess, the eldest princess, is a kind person. In addition, she and Fang Shi¡¯s mother are very close sisters. She does not neglect her because of her family¡¯s affairs but is more compassionate and trusting.


    The three daughters-in-law saluted and greeted the eldest princess one by one. Yang Shi¡¯s expression could not be seen at all. With a smile on her face, she stepped forward and took Fang Bi Rong¡¯s hand: ¡°What a beautiful girl! I have long heard that there is a girl who looks like a fairy arriving in the mansion but I have never seen it before. Now when I look at you girl, such a temperament! You really deserve to be sisters with sister-in-law. No wonder my mother loves you so much.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan wanted to laugh. Yang Shi¡¯s mouth really makes people sigh. Every sentence has a deep meaning. If she didn¡¯t know about her, she would have been fooled by her sincere expression.


    Listen, ¡®there¡¯s a fairy-like girl in the house, but she, as the master, ¡®has never seen her before¡¯, doesn¡¯t this imply that this girl from the Fang family doesn¡¯t understand etiquette?


    There is also the phrase ¡®Such a temperament! You really deserve to be sisters with sister-in-law ¡®, the sarcasm implied in these words, it is estimated that anyone who knows her attitude towards Fang Shi can hear it.


    But unfortunately, every word of these words sounds like a compliment. People can¡¯t pick out the slightest mistake.


    Fang Shi naturally heard what she meant. She was slightly annoyed but it was not easy to say anything. She can only pretend that she didn¡¯t know.


    The eldest princess raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Yang Shi¡¯s side, looking at her kind and warm smiling face, she suddenly felt a little headache for some reason.


    Fang Bi Rong was not a fool. She could naturally feel that Yang Shi was not as enthusiastic as she had shown. She couldn¡¯t help feeling a little aggrieved. Just thinking of her status as someone under the fence, she swallowed the grievance and bowed to Shen Xin Yan and Yang Shi under Fang Shi¡¯s guidance.


    Shen Xin Yan took off the jasper bracelet on her wrist as a gift, while Yang Shi plucked a gold hairpin from her hair bun and gave it to her. Both of which were quite normal, neither too warm nor disrespectful.


    But for Fang Bi Rong, these greeting gifts were quite thin. Especially, when compared to the pearl and jade jewellery that the eldest princess and Fang Shi gave her not long ago.


    ¡°Thank you, ma¡¯am!¡± Although she was not very happy, she was born the daughter of the Marquis family, so she thanked the two of them decently.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you see those mud monkeys tomorrow.¡± The eldest princess smiled and patted the back of Fang Bi Rong¡¯s hand lovingly.


    ¡°My aunt is too modest. I heard my mother mention that the eldest grandson of Yin Guo Gong Mansion is the most intelligent and outstanding. He is the most similar to the Duke. I never thought that I would be able to see it today.¡± Fang Bi Rong¡¯s voice was soft and gentle, and it was easy to make people feel good.


    Hearing her mention to the most outstanding grandson, the eldest princess laughed: ¡°Brother Lin is a little big man and he likes to pretend to be an adult. Among the grandsons, he is indeed a little more reassuring.¡±


    Fang Bi Rong accompanied her smile, but with a hint of unnoticeable worry in his eyes. She subconsciously glanced at her sister, whose smile was momentarily stiff.


    It seems that, as her mother said, brother Lin¡¯s status in the minds of the grandfather and the eldest princess is higher than that of her nephew, brother Qi.


    ¡°Mother can¡¯t be partial! Brother Lin is a sensible child, but Brother Zhao and Brother Yue firmly remember to be filial to our grandmother. Yesterday, Brother Yue deliberately left his favourite hibiscus cake, saying: It¡¯s for my grandmother to eat!¡± Yang Shi said with a smile.


    Brother Zhao and Brother Yue are her two sons.


    ¡°They¡¯re all sensible children. They¡¯re all sensible children! Only you can¡¯t let Brother Yue eat too much sweet. Be careful and don¡¯t have a toothache like last time.¡± The eldest princess smiled brighter and brighter, thinking of Brother Yue. Once because of the toothache, he couldn¡¯t eat or sleep, so I told her worriedly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, mother. Sweets are all locked up! They are only allowed to eat two pieces a day. Even if they want more, there will be no more.¡± Yang Shi is a habitual climber. She told a lot of interesting stories about the children. It became more and more amusing. The eldest princess is also happy.


    Shen Xin Yan was simply amazed. Look at people, what about the concubine daughter-in-law? She was still able to coax her mother-in-law into a happy mood, which was many times better than her!


    The eldest princess and Yang Shi were amused. They chatted with Fang Shi and Shen Xin Yan for a while, and then said to Shen Xin Yan: ¡°Your sister Fang has not returned to the capital for many years. She is estranged from relatives in the capital. Just in time, the day after tomorrow, for the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Kang Jun Wang Fu, you two will take her there together, so that the little girl can open her eyes.¡±


    The two sisters were naturally referring to Shen Xin Yan and Yang Shi. Although Fang Shi was the eldest daughter-in-law. As for banquets, she is not suitable for such occasions.


    Shen Xin Yan was a little surprised. She was the only one who took Fang Bi Rrong with her in her last life. She didn¡¯t expect that she would also take the Yang Shi in this life. It¡¯s just that for her having one more person and one less person doesn¡¯t make any difference. So she nodded and said, ¡°As my mother said, the daughter-in-law will take her there.¡±


    Yang Shi¡¯s eyes rolled a few times. She understood the real meaning of the princess¡¯ move.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, the good things that my sister-in-law put in the box have to be brought out. Sister Fang will be dressed up to go to the banquet together.¡±


    ¡°Although the things of the sister-in-law are good, they may not be suitable for this young girl. It is better to invite Linglong Pavilion. The shopkeeper of the pavilion will bring some latest jewellery. Let Sister Fang choose some of her favourites. Wouldn¡¯t it be better?¡± Shen Xin Yan suggested with a smile.


    ¡°Yes, yes, the second sister-in-law thinks it all over. Let the shopkeeper of Nishang Xuan also come and let Sister Fang choose some clothes.¡± Yang Shi was happy. She hurriedly followed along.


    In name, it is to choose clothes and jewellery for Fang Bi Rong, but all fools know that it is impossible just to buy for her alone. Basically, everyone who sees it has a share.


    Yang Shi is naturally not an idiot. Shen Xin Yan has made such a good start, and she will not be far behind. So she asked the eldest princess to settle the matter.


    Fang Shi¡¯s mouth twitched invisibly, knowing that she was going to bleed heavily. Even if this expense is paid from the public, isn¡¯t the public¡¯s money also her money?


    She glanced at Shen Xin Yan who had a gentle smile on her face. Somehow she felt that the roots of her teeth were a little itchy.


    This Shen Shi didn¡¯t know what medicine she took wrong recently. She felt she was doing things on purpose. So aggrieved!


    Shen Xin Yan received her gaze. She looked back and gave her a soft and kind smile, which made her almost unable to lift her breath.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to strike while the iron is hot. In that case, let someone go to Linglong Pavilion and Nishang Xuan respectively and tell the shopkeepers, asking them to bring the best products from their store as soon as possible. It¡¯s good to buy it early.¡± Shen Xin Yan added coldly.


    ¡°Yes, yes, the second sister-in-law reminded in time. Eldest sister-in-law, let Mei Ying and Lan Ying beside me handle this matter so that these two girls will not be lazy all day!¡± Yang Shi said.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­¡± Fang Shi was about to decline, but Yang Shi didn¡¯t wait for her to speak and raised her voice to tell Mei Ying and Lan Ying to quickly ask the two shopkeepers.


    Seeing Mei Ying and Lan Ying running away without a trace, Fang Shi wanted to vomit so much that she almost broke the veil. She said without a smile, ¡°I will trouble the third sibling like this!¡±


    ¡°No trouble. No trouble! They¡¯re all a family!¡± Yang Shi got a bargain. Her smile was so bright that she almost blinded Fang Shi.


    Shen Xin Yan hurriedly pretended to drink tea to hide the smile that was about to appear on the corner of her mouth.


    Wei Shi is really a ¡®no profits, no early rise¡¯ person!


    The eldest princess smiled and looked at the three daughters-in-law, who came and went, and did not make a sound. In her opinion, it is worthwhile to occasionally buy some jewellery and clothes for the female family members of the mansion. How could she know that Fang Shi had long regarded everything in the public as their eldest room¡¯s property? Asking her to spend such a large sum of money was no less than cutting her flesh.


    It would be fine if it was specially made for her sister. She also loves this young sister who is ten years younger than her. But for the other two rooms¡­


    She took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, but she was unhappy in the end. After talking with the eldest princess for a while, she got up and left.


    Shen Xin Yan stayed for a while.


    ¡°Madam, do you really want to take that girl to the Kang Jun Wang Fu?¡± Back in the house, Chun Liu asked in confusion while changing her clothes.


    ¡°Naturally it¡¯s true. I¡¯ve already promised my mother. Is it possible that there¡¯s still a fake?¡± Shen Xin Yan leaned on the couch and said very comfortably.


    Chun Liu thought about it too.


    ¡°Madam, the eldest son is here.¡± Xia He¡¯s happy voice sounded outside.


    Shen Xin Yan hurriedly sat up straight. After a while, she saw Wei Cheng Lin walk in with more and more steady steps.


    ¡°How many people did my mother drive out of my father¡¯s courtyard recently?¡± Wei Cheng Lin asked directly after the salute.


    Shen Xin Yan was surprised, but she didn¡¯t hide it from him: ¡°It¡¯s true. Is it possible that those who don¡¯t have long eyes are still making trouble with you?¡±

 CH 11

    Wei Cheng Lin shook his head: ¡°No. It¡¯s just that I found out about this by chance and thought that something was wrong. So I came to find my mother.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan nodded slightly but did not ask him what was wrong.


    Wei Cheng Lin hesitated for a moment but he finally couldn¡¯t hold back his groaning: ¡°Mother, I think you should inform my father about this matter in advance. After all, those are the people who serve my father. If you have a quarrel with father because of this, wouldn¡¯t the gain outweigh the loss?¡±


    Perhaps feeling that as a son, it is inappropriate to talk too much about parents¡¯ affairs, the boy¡¯s voice became softer and lighter, and his head gradually lowered.


    Shen Xin Yan was astonished. She never dreamed that he would say such a thing to her, and she didn¡¯t expect him to be so concerned about her affairs. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sour in her nose. She quickly covered it up by taking a sip of tea.


    After not getting a response from his mother for a long time, Wei Cheng Lin became more and more uneasy. He couldn¡¯t help regretting his recklessness.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s me being meddlesome and the mother doesn¡¯t have to¡­¡±


    ¡°No, mother is very happy that my son has put his mother in his heart and you are worried that mother will anger your father because of this. Mother is very pleased with my son¡¯s filial piety.¡± Shen Xin Yan interrupted him-.


    The boy who always liked to have a small face couldn¡¯t help but blushed slightly, gave her a quick look with some embarrassment, and continued to lower his head and whispered: ¡°You are the mother of the child, and the child will naturally take you to heart. .¡±


    Shen Xin Yan did not miss his words, the smile on her face condensed slightly, and then she added a bit of bitterness.


    Is it? Because she is his mother, she will be in his heart. If that¡¯s the case, what happened to her in her last life?


    She knew that she was on the cusp of bullshit again, but she couldn¡¯t restrain the crazy thoughts growing in her heart. It was like two little people were arguing loudly in her mind.


    ¡°It¡¯s a liar. He¡¯s a liar. It¡¯s nice to say at this time. But when Zhou Wanning appears, you¡¯ll be nothing!¡±


    ¡°Nonsense. Brother Lin never bothers to lie. Since he said that, he thought this way in his heart!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re crazy. Isn¡¯t the lesson from your previous life deep enough? Do you still want to do it again in this life?¡± ¡°


    ¡°The previous life is the previous life. This life is this life. No matter what, he is your son, you have to do your mother¡¯s responsibility well. How can you completely neglect him who is still young because of what may happen in the future?¡±


    ¡°Women¡¯s benevolence. You are women¡¯s benevolence!¡±


    ¡°I am a woman, so what if there is a woman¡¯s benevolence? ¡°


    ¡­


    Shen Xin Yan calmed down and locked up all the little people who were arguing deep in the mind. He raised his hand to caress his son¡¯s head lightly, but the action paused when he was about to touch his hair, and there was a little struggle in his eyes, and finally, the soft palm still rested on the boy¡¯s head.


    ¡°You¡­you can think like this. Mother is very happy.¡±


    Although it is unclear what happened to make this son in this life a little different from him in his previous life, she is quite happy to see these differences. No one would want their blood and flesh to be separated from them. She was the same.


    Her tone paused for a while. Somehow she thought of something from the previous life. She lowered her eyes for a moment, looked into the dark eyes of the young man, and said to him word by word with incomparable tenderness.


    ¡°It¡¯s just, Brother Lin, you have to remember that you are a dignified man. In the future, you will do a career to support our family, the Ying Guo Gong Mansion. Your world should be outside. And the inner house is the battlefield of women. As the saying goes, ¡® As a man, you shouldn¡¯t put your mind and energy into the inner house¡¯, let alone intervene in the disputes between women, do you understand?¡±


    Wei Cheng Lin blinked his dark eyes and nodded: ¡°The son understands!¡±


    Shen Xin Yan smiled slightly, stroked his soft hair, and said softly: ¡°Since ancient times, women have been the gentlest and firmest backing for men, like your grandmother. It is precisely because your grandmother is a smart and capable mistress in the mansion, your grandfather can make achievements outside with peace of mind. In the future, when brother Lin chooses his daughter-in-law, the appearance is second, but the words ¡®smart and capable¡¯ are absolutely indispensable!¡±


    And Zhou Wanning and the words ¡°smart and capable ¡± are absolutely irrelevant! It can¡¯t even pull the slightest relationship!


    She admitted that she did have other thoughts when she said this. But so what? No one can say that what she said is wrong!


    The little boy was even more embarrassed, his mouth pursed slightly, and his tone actually had a hint of coquettishness: ¡°Mother¡­¡± Shen Xin Yan laughed lightly. Wei Cheng Lin¡¯s face flushed red. He even forgot to do the ceremony, turned around and slipped out.


    Seeing that her son rarely showed his age-matched side, Shen Xin Yan couldn¡¯t help laughing again. In the laughter, a gust of wind seemed to blow away the mist that had been shrouded in her heart.


    Yes, her son is only ten years old this year. There are still seven years before he meets Zhou Wan Ning. Although her son was always assertive and determined, so what? She was his mother. As a mother, she had an obligation to teach her son. Who can be sure that during these seven years he will not take her teachings to heart?


    I don¡¯t dare to expect him to hear it all into his heart. Just one or two is enough!


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, that old woman really went to look for Lian Xiang.¡± Qiutang frowned slightly as she lifted the curtain and said.


    Shen Xin Yan nodded, her eyes drooping slightly: ¡°Understood. It¡¯s noticeable to trace her. So don¡¯t care about her.¡±


    Qiutang¡¯s brows became worried: ¡°This servant doesn¡¯t understand. Madam must also know that the old woman will go to find Lian Xiang. Why? Why do you have to let it go? If the master¡­¡±


    ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t worry. Just do what I say. Everything has me!¡± Shen Xin Yan didn¡¯t know what she was worried about, but she didn¡¯t say anything. only vaguely commanded.


    Qiutang wanted to persuade her again. But Shen Xin Yan had already turned her face away, showing that she did not want to listen anymore.


    She could only sigh and retreat helplessly.


    After the sound of the door curtain being lowered, Shen Xin Yan absent-mindedly grabbed the handkerchief. Although she was prepared, she couldn¡¯t hide her anxiety.


    What if that person disappoints her? She felt remorse for a while.


    Maybe she shouldn¡¯t be tempted like this. If the husband and wife are estranged because of this, it will outweigh the gain.


    In her last life, she didn¡¯t interfere much with Wei Jun Hang¡¯s affairs. She also let go of the people who served him. But she intends to get along well with him in this life, so she naturally needs to pay more attention.


    It¡¯s just that she doesn¡¯t know much about Wei Jun Hang, so she plans to explore the bottom line of the other party. Then she will be able to act appropriately in the future.


    Therefore, this time, with her tacit approval, Mama Wang attacked several of Wei Jun Hang¡¯s unruly servants in one breath, including Lian Xiang¡¯s younger brother.


    The mother of Lian Xiang, Mama Zhang, was deeply in love with her only son. If something happened to her son, she would naturally ask her daughter to intercede with Shizi Ye.


    If Wei Jun Hang finally gave Lian Xiang this honour, then she would have to find the most suitable distance between him and her.


    ¡°¡­Mother, Zhuzi was caught by someone. It is a helpless thing to be exempted from the errand. Besides, Mama Wang is someone close to Madam. Zhuzi¡¯s dismissal was approved by Madam. You told me to think of a way, what else can I think of?¡± Lian Xiang said helplessly with a bitter face.


    Madam Zhang was so annoyed that she pinched her daughter on the arm: ¡°Damn girl, you can¡¯t even do this, what¡¯s the use of you! That Mama Wang is the person from Madam¡¯s side. You are still the person of Shizi Ye! You! You can beg him to spare your brother this time.¡±


    The expression on Lian Xiang¡¯s face became even more bitter: ¡°Mother, what nonsense are you talking about! Lord and Madam are husband and wife. Madam gave an order. How could Shizi Ye contradict Madam for a servant? Isn¡¯t it detrimental to the relationship between husband and wife?!¡±


    ¡°Shizi Ye and his wife naturally have a relationship between husband and wife. But you have been by Shizi Ye¡¯s side for so long, don¡¯t you have any relationship? Besides, Zhuzi is just being playful for a while. Coupled with his young age and soft ears, he was forced to gamble just once or twice by those who had no good intentions. Who would have thought that Mama Wang would just happen to take someone to the courtyard at that time!¡± Lian Xiang said in a low voice. She didn¡¯t know what to think, as if she hadn¡¯t heard her words. Mama Zhang was so annoyed that she slapped her on the back shoulder again: ¡°I¡¯m talking to you! Did you hear me?¡±


    Lian Xiang was caught by her. She stumbled a few steps before she steadied. Staring at her both angrily and aggrievedly: ¡°Zhu Zi is already in his twenties. How can you say he is young? Ordinary men like him have already married and established a business.¡±


    ¡°Now that your wings are hard, you dare to talk back to me?!¡±


    ¡°Beat me. If you beat me again, don¡¯t expect me to plead to Shizi Ye!¡±  Instead of retreating, Lian Xiang puffed her chest out and pushed her neck up.


    Mama Zhang was furious at first, then overjoyed. She patted the folds on her clothes with a smile: ¡°No beating. No beating. Then the matter of the pillars is entirely up to you.¡±


    Lian Xiang said: ¡°I will try my best. It¡¯s not up to me to decide whether to succeed or not.¡±


    ¡°What are you saying? You¡¯ve been serving Shizi Ye for so long. Is it possible that he doesn¡¯t even give you this honour?¡± Mama Zhang was not worried at all. But when she saw her daughter¡¯s face sinking, she quickly changed her words and said, ¡°Okay. As long as you try your best, whether it succeeds or not is the master¡¯s business. It has nothing to do with you!¡±


    That night, when Wei Jun Hang came back from the outside, he first came to the main house to have dinner with his wife and children before returning to his Jinxiu Residence.


    Jinxiu Residence is not the main courtyard of Funing Courtyard. So it does not occupy the largest area. However, its scenery is not much worse than that of Ning¡¯an Courtyard, where the eldest princess lives. There are three small rooms. The east room is the bedroom, and the west room is Wei Jun Hang¡¯s study.


    After taking a bath, Wei Jun Hang held the treasure box as usual and counted the contents several times, and then let out a long sigh. For the first time, he felt that his income was so thin that he wanted to give his wife and daughter something. He was powerless to buy good things.


    ¡°Shizi Ye!¡± He reluctantly put away the treasure box. As soon as he turned around, he saw Lian Xiang come in at some point and knelt straight in front of him.

 CH 12

    ¡°Just speak it out. What do you mean by kneeling?¡± Wei Jun Hang frowned.


    Lian Xiang dared not get up. She kowtowed to him several times, and then she choked out: ¡°The slave asks Shizi Ye to show mercy. Please forgive my servant¡¯s younger brother Zhuzi this time and don¡¯t drive him out of the house!¡±


    Wei Jun Hang was stunned: ¡°Who is Zhuzi? Who is going to¡­ What did he do wrong to get kicked out?¡± He first wanted to ask ¡®Who is going to drive him out?¡¯. But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that his wife was rectifying the inner courtyard recently. And the words turn into ¡®What did he do wrong to get kicked out?¡¯


    Two different sentences have completely different meanings. The latter question is a straightforward demonstration of his trust in the fairness of his wife¡¯s actions. You must have made a mistake to get kicked out!


    Lian Xiang is not a fool. Although Wei Jun Hang didn¡¯t say all the words, she could understand them. Her heart sank. She suddenly felt that it was a mistake to ask for this kind of love.


    Will Shizi Ye really refute Madam¡¯s decision and forgive her brother for her sake?


    ¡°What are you doing? Why don¡¯t you answer the question? What mistake did that Zhuzi make to get kicked out?¡± Waiting for her answer for a long time, Wei Jun Hang was dissatisfied. His face sank immediately.


    Lian Xiang shuddered and lowered her head even lower. At this moment, she only wished that she would never come but the water had been poured out. She has already said the words. She was afraid that she would not be able to save it.


    ¡°The day before yesterday, Zhuzi was dragged by a few incompetent boys in the outer courtyard to have a drink. Zhuzi couldn¡¯t get rid of it, so he drank two glasses. He was thinking of going back to work. But he didn¡¯t know that those people would not let him go. He was dragged to throw a dice. Zhuzi can¡¯t get out of the way. He was thinking about how to deal with them and then left, but he never thought that in such a short time, Mama Wang would bring someone to visit the courtyard¡­¡±


    Speaking of the latter, her voice was getting lower and lower, and her head was getting lower and lower.


    Although she didn¡¯t speak clearly and deliberately played down her brother¡¯s fault, Wei Jun Hang was not an idiot. He could hear that her words were biased. He frowned: ¡°So, your brother was arrested by Mama Wang for drinking and gambling while he was on duty. Mama led someone to arrest him. He was freed from errands and kicked out?¡±


    Lian Xiang¡¯s face turned pale. Her head was lowered in embarrassment. Her heart was even more chaotic, and her words were incoherent: ¡°Zhu, Zhuzi, he has always done things diligently, followed the rules and never made mistakes. Slave¡­ slave has never asked Shizi. Please see, for the sake of the servant who has always served loyally. Please forgive him this time!¡±


    After speaking, she kowtowed again with a ¡®dong dong dong¡¯.


    However, if she looked up at the person in front of her, she would find that the other person¡¯s face became more displeased.


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk too much. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This is a matter of course. If you don¡¯t have anything else to report, then get out!¡± Wei Jun Hang flicked his sleeves at her, unwilling to listen to her anymore.


    ¡°Yes¡­¡± Although Lian Xiang was a little unwilling, she still remembered her identity and didn¡¯t dare to entangle him again, so she started talking about other things.


    ¡°Dongmei, Luyue, and Xiaocui were transferred a few days ago. Although the new girls are honest, they are not as neat as those three. As a result, the manpower is a little tight recently. The newcomers need training for a while. I¡¯m afraid that they may not be able to get started immediately. Can you transfer Dongmei back for a while and wait for the new girls¡­¡±


    ¡°You can report to Madam on this matter, and Madam will decide. ¡°Wei Jun Hang was impatient to hear these trivial matters, and immediately blocked her words.


    Lian Xiang¡¯s heart is cold.


    Dongmei and Luyue served longer than her, and in the end, they ended up like this. How could she have felt that she was different in the first place?


    Madam didn¡¯t make a move in the past. But as soon as she made her move, she was so resolute. Those few people¡¯s thoughts about Shizi Ye in the past may have fallen into the eyes of Madam long ago. She will take care of them when the time is right.


    Shen Xin Yan had been waiting for Wei Jun Hang¡¯s attitude all the time. The person serving him suddenly changed to a new face. It was impossible for him not to know, but he never said anything, which made Shen Xin Yan a little unsure of his mind.


    It was not until the next day that Wei Jun Hang held a delicate brocade box and handed it to her. His eyes were shining and full of anticipation.


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned by his burning gaze: ¡°This, what is this?¡±


    Wei Jun Hang replied without answering, ¡°Open it up and see if you like it?¡±


    She was stunned for a rare moment when the emerald phoenix hairpin inlaid with jewels came into view.


    ¡°This, this is for me?¡±


    ¡°Yes! Do you like it? It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t like it, I can take it back and exchange it.¡± Wei Jun Hang was a little uncomfortable when she looked at him and stammered to answer.


    Shen Xin Yan stared at him for a long time until Shizi Ye, who had always been heartless and careless, was heartbroken. Finally, when he was about to be unable to resist, he saw her suddenly burst into an unusually bright smile.


    ¡°I like it. I like it very much. Thank you, Shizi!¡±


    ¡°That, that, that, that¡¯s fine.¡± The big tongue Shizi wanted to look away and stop looking at the face that made his heart beat faster like a hairy boy. But reluctant.


    After all, it was the first time that she had once again bloomed in front of him with that kind of smile that made his heart palpitate since he first met in the Hundred Flowers.


    ¡°Would you help me put it on?¡± Shen Xin Yan held the hairpin and compared it to the bronze mirror, looking back at someone who was still dumbfounded and asked softly.


    ¡°Oh, good, good!¡± Wei Jun Hang finally came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, took the phoenix hairpin, placed it in a suitable position for the towering bun like clouds, and then inserted it carefully.


    ¡°Okay, okay.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan looked at him in the bronze mirror with a smile: ¡°Thank you, Shizi!¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome, madam.¡± Wei Jun Hang smiled a little silly.


    Shen Xin Yan stared at the still handsome face in the bronze mirror, suddenly burst into impulse, and rushed out and asked, ¡°I have dealt with a lot of people who are serving you lately. Don¡¯t you have anything to say?¡±


    The words just came out. She regretted it and was about to say something to remedy it, Wei Jun Hang replied disapprovingly: ¡°Madam is justified in doing so. Since those individuals have been dealt with, they must have made an unforgivable mistake.¡±


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned. Looking down for a moment, she finally couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.


    It was she who did it redundantly. This man never gave up on her at any time in his last life. How could he possibly have a quarrel with her because of some servants in this life? It was her who took the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!


    ¡°That Lian Xiang, you don¡¯t need to care about her. I left her as a last resort. At the same time, I don¡¯t want to see her being abused by her family.¡± Wei Jun Hang said suddenly.


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned but did not expect that he would explain Lian Xiang to herself.


    ¡°As for what happened¡­¡±


    ¡°I understand. It doesn¡¯t matter. She was given to you by your mother after all. Besides, she has been attentive in doing things over the years, and she has a serene temperament. With her by your side, I¡¯m also relieved.¡±


    Wei Jun Hang opened his mouth, and finally couldn¡¯t help muttering: ¡°But, but¡­ she¡­she¡­ and I have always been innocent!¡±


    What?!


    Shen Xin Yan couldn¡¯t believe what she heard.


    Although she was shocked, she never doubted his words, just because he didn¡¯t need to lie.


    ¡°She, isn¡¯t she, isn¡¯t she your, isn¡¯t your bed warmer?¡± This time it was her turn to stutter.


    ¡°It¡¯s not what I want¡­¡± Wei Jun Hang muttered.


    He doesn¡¯t need to have three wives and four concubines, okay? Of course, it is not easy for him to refuse someone who is given by his mother, but it is his business to deal with it when he brings it back, and it is not appropriate for his mother to intervene.


    Shen Xin Yan was stunned on the spot this time, unable to react for a long time.


    Wei Jun Hang scratched his ears, not sure what her reaction meant.


    I don¡¯t know how long it took before she let out a long sigh. When she raised her eyes, she met his slightly cautious eyes. She felt a stun in her chest for some reason. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out and caress his cheek, she murmured: ¡°In those days, why did you insist on marrying me?¡±


    ¡°Well, it¡¯s just! Just, I think you look so good when you smile. If only I could face each other for the rest of my life.¡± Wei Jun Hang was touched by her. He was so excited that he wanted to jump up and laugh a few times, but he was afraid of shocking the other party, so he could only try to suppress his thoughts.


    Shen Xin Yan couldn¡¯t remember when she had smiled at him before she got married, but she didn¡¯t have the heart to study it at this moment.


    Fortunately, it was not too late for her to wake up in this life.


    ¡°Madam, the third lady sent someone to invite you to the flower hall saying that the shopkeepers of Linglong Pavilion and Nishangxuan are here.¡± Xia He lifted the curtain and came in to report, which also interrupted Shen Xin Yan¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go now.¡±


    ¡°If you have something to do, just go. I¡¯ll go see Brother Lin.¡± The soft and warm touch on his cheek disappeared. Wei Jun Hang was a little disappointed.


    ¡°¡­emerald signifies longevity. It¡¯s not good for Sister Fang to wear these at a young age. Give it to me! This is good. This is good. This gold inlaid dongzhu pendant is especially suitable for my sister. When my sister wears this, she looks more and more like a fairy. ¡±


    ¡°But I think¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it. Just listen to me.!¡±


    When Shen Xin Yan approached the flower hall, she heard voices coming from inside. After listening carefully, she knew it was Yang Shi¡¯s and Fang Bi Rong¡¯s voices.


    She smiled awkwardly.


    She also knew that the Yang Shi would definitely choose the most valuable things for herself. With her temperament, the Fang sisters were so annoyed to they wanted to vomit.


    ¡°Oh, second sister-in-law, you¡¯re finally here. Come and see quickly. Do you see how good I look in these emerald-studded jewellery earrings?¡± Yang Shi noticed her arrival first and leaned forward enthusiastically with her hands on both earlobes There is a pair of delicate earrings.


    ¡°Beautiful, very beautiful. It makes the third sister-in-law richer and more powerful!¡± Shen Xin Yan glanced at Fang Bi Rong, who was a little aggrieved, and then looked at Fang Shi, who was full of forbearance. She almost couldn¡¯t help laughing.


    ¡°I think so too!¡± Yang was so proud. She tried on several pieces of jewellery she had picked one by one and turned back to ask Shen Xin Yan¡¯s opinion from time to time.


    Shen Xin Yan was quite supportive. She complimented her without hesitation. This made Yang Shi¡¯s laughter unstoppable.


    Fang Shi was full of anger. Whenever she chose jewellery for her sister, Yang Shi would always take it away for various reasons. She also had a kind expression on her face like she was doing it for sister Fang¡¯s sake, which made her want to have a seizure.


    How can there be such a thick-skinned person in the world!

 CH 13

    She took a deep breath. She inadvertently looked at Shen Xin Yan¡¯s bun. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: ¡°Second sister-in-law, this phoenix hairpin is quite sophisticated and beautiful. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen you wearing it. Looking at this craftsmanship, it looks like it came from Linglong Pavilion.¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on Shen Xin Yan¡¯s bun.


    Shen Xin Yan held the hairpin. Unconsciously a gentle smile appeared on her face.


    ¡°Madam has good eyesight. This hairpin is indeed from Linglong Pavilion. Shizi Ye chose the design himself and asked the craftsman to make it. It was finished early this morning. Even I saw the finished product for the first time.¡± The shopkeeper Tao Shi said with a smile.


    ¡°It turned out to be ordered by Shizi Ye. No wonder! This hairpin alone can compare all the jewellery in the whole room.¡± Fang Shi glanced at Yang Shi, who stared enviously at Shen Xin Yan¡¯s hairpin.


    Yang Shi looked down at the few hairpins that she liked, and then compared the one that Shen Xin Yan was wearing. For some reason, she originally thought they are very satisfactory pieces of jewellery, but now she thinks they are ordinary.


    ¡°No matter whether this jewellery is precious or not, it only depends on whether it matches the person who wears it, and whether it can bring out the owner¡¯s temperament. This hairpin of Shizi Furen is made specially by Shizi Ye by an inviting craftsman. As fine as the winding of each golden thread, it all displays the grace and elegance of Shizi Furen. So only when Shizi Furen wears it, it has the effect of complementing each other.¡±


    ¡°This pair of emerald-embedded butterfly earrings selected by the third lady, the jade is transparent and moisturizing, and the gems are bright and precious, which perfectly complements the lady¡¯s style. I have to say that my lady¡¯s vision makes me feel ashamed.¡±


    ¡°This Miss Fang is as beautiful and refined as an orchid in the valley. With the pearl as a match, Begonia as a decoration, and then wearing that flowing fairy dress, it is really like Jiutian Xuannu1 descended to the world!¡±


    ¡°And the madam¡­ ¡°The shopkeeper Tao has good eloquence. Her praises were as beautiful as a lotus flower blooming which made Yang Shi and the two Fang sisters smile, especially the Fang sisters, who were repeatedly cut off by Yang Shi.


    The shopkeeper of Nishangxuan was naturally unwilling to be left behind. She also spared no effort in promoting the most luxurious and exquisite dresses in her store.


    After half an hour, everyone had picked out the jewellery and clothes they were satisfied with. Even Shen Xin Yan also picked one piece of jewellery for Wei Jun Hang and a pair of children.


    For Wei Jun Hang and his son, she chose transparent jade pendants, while for her daughter, she chose a double-happiness flower hairpin inlaid with beads. Taking this opportunity, she simply chose two sets of head dressings and a dress for herself.


    Anyway, all the money spent is from the public. Free of charge. If you don¡¯t spend it, you are losing!


    As for how Fang Shi, who is still smiling now, will react after seeing the bill, that¡¯s not something she should consider.


    On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Fang Bi Rong got up early to dress up. Fang Shi did her sister¡¯s makeup herself. Seeing her beautiful little sister, she couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved.


    ¡°Sister, how do you look at my dress? Is it appropriate?¡± Fang Bi Rong was a little nervous. After all, this was her first time showing her face in the capital. What kind of people she can marry in the future depends on this time at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.


    ¡°My sister is very beautiful. You are even better than Princess Rui back then.¡± Fang Shi replied with a smile.


    ¡°Really?¡± Fang Bi Rong¡¯s eyes lit up and her pretty face flushed slightly.


    Princess Rui at that time was the most beautiful maiden in the capital. Any makeup she painted could easily make the ladies of the capital rush to imitate.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. How can my sister be compared to those ordinary uncultured girls?¡± Fang was very confident about her sister¡¯s appearance.


    ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help Qi Ge¡¯er to regain the position he deserves.¡± Fang Bi Rong¡¯s eyes were firm.


    ¡°Right. As long as our sisters are of the same mind, one day we will make those who look down on us¡­¡± Fang Shi didn¡¯t say the last half of her sentence, but the cruel expression on her face showed her intentions.


    ¡°Shen Shi, I thought I had seen through her, but her behaviour recently is quite puzzling. When you go out with her, don¡¯t quarrel with her. Even if you have some grievances, you can endure them for the time being. You must know that a gentleman takes revenge. Ten years is not too late.¡±


    ¡°As for Yang Shi, she¡¯s just a vulgar woman with shallow eyelids. There¡¯s nothing to worry about. Just don¡¯t argue with her. She¡¯s a pungent woman without a face. It¡¯s not a good thing for a girl to provoke her. ¡°Fang Shi said worriedly.


    ¡°Sister doesn¡¯t need to worry. I have written it down.¡± Fang Bi Rong nodded.


    ¡°The roster I gave you a few days ago. Do you memorize it all?¡±


    ¡°I remember it all.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good. You leave the capital after birth. It¡¯s the first time you¡¯re attending a banquet in the capital. So you¡¯d rather say less and do less. You must not offend anyone who cannot offend.¡± Fang Shi warned and repeated, and finally said, ¡°The youngest son from the lady of the first assistant is now eighteen years old. It is time to discuss marriage. If you can get into her eyes, it will be a great help in the future. There are also Xu Shang Shu and Li Guo Gong. There are also men of the right age in these two houses. Hundred percent of the wives of these three families will go there. You should pay attention.¡±


    Fang Bi Rong nodded in agreement.


    Fang sisters were talking for a while. Over there, Shen Xin Yan had to coax her daughter who wanted to go with her. It was not easy to coax the little girl. She finally made the little girl happy after some ceding and guarantee. Then she took Qiu Tang and waited aside. Yang Shi and Fang Bi Rong went out and got on the carriage to Prince Kang¡¯s mansion.


    ¡°I arrived in the capital for the first time. This was also my first time at a banquet. I also asked the second lady and the third lady to remind me of everything so that I would not be embarrassed in front of the nobles.¡± After taking a seat, Fang Bi Rong said gracefully.


    ¡°Miss Fang is a bright person. The eldest Sister-in-law is known for her shrewdness and intelligence. She must have already instructed everything and prepared well. I am just a slow-witted person. I really can¡¯t afford this teaching.¡± Sincerely.


    Fang Bi Rong froze for a moment. A flash of anger flashed in her eyes. She forced a stiff smile and said dryly, ¡°Shizi Furen is too modest.¡±


    After speaking, she sat quietly to the side and did not dare to say more.


    Shen Xin Yan ignored her, closed her eyes and took a rest.


    Yang Shi looked at this and then at that. Her eyes were clear. Immediately, she hugged Fang Bi Rong¡¯s arm and said with a smile: ¡°Sister Fang is so beautiful. She might be favoured by some noble person and marry a husband who has a bright future. I only hope that my sister will become rich in the future, but don¡¯t forget to help my sister!¡±


    Fang Bi Rong¡¯s pretty face flushed. She lowered her head shyly. Her mood seemed quite happy because of her words.


    The corner of Shen Xin Yan¡¯s mouth slightly raised a mocking arc, but she didn¡¯t speak.


    The carriage turned a few intersections and arrived at the street where Kangjun Wangfu was located.


    ¡°There are too many people. When will it be our turn to go in?¡± When the carriage stopped, Yang Shi opened the curtain and looked out, exclaiming.


    Fang Bi Rong couldn¡¯t help but look out secretly. All kinds of horses and carriages of different sizes and specifications were all in sight, blocking the originally spacious street densely. From a distance, it was faintly visible in front of the gate of the county king¡¯s mansion to welcome guests. A dozen or so men dressed as stewards.


    Although she is from the capital, she has lived with her parents away from the capital since she was a child. She has never seen such a splendid occasion. She can¡¯t help but be stunned for a while.


    Shen Xin Yan had participated in this Hundred Flowers Banquet in her previous life as the wife of the heir of the Ying Guo Gong mansion. She had already prepared in her heart, knowing that she would have to wait a while longer. So she continued to close her eyes and rest in peace.


    ¡°Third madam, whose carriage is that? Why is it so grandiose?¡± From a distance, several carriages parked closer to Prince Kang¡¯s mansion slowly gave way, allowing another luxury car that arrived late to drive in first. Fang Bi Rong asked curiously.


    ¡°Other than the carriage from the house of the first assistant. Who has such a big face?¡± Yang Shi replied. She couldn¡¯t hide the envy in her eyes.


    The first assistant of the court was not only the head of the cabinet but also the biological father of the empress. The glory of one family was unimaginable to others.


    The first assistant¡¯s¡­ Fang Bi Rong was silent.


    Shen Xin Yan opened her eyes when she heard the word ¡°The first assistant¡±. She squinted at Fang Bi Rong, who was a little absent-minded, thinking about what the other party did in the previous life, she was thoughtful.


    In her last life, she was reluctant to bring Fang Bi Rong to the banquet. She didn¡¯t like her, but she thought that she brought it out by herself. So she always mentioned her everywhere. In the end, however, Fang Bi Rong fell in love with her brother-in-law, Qi Liu Xiu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.


    While Fang Bi Rong couldn¡¯t let go of Qi Liu Xiu, she was unwilling to give up the chance to climb the high gate. Later, when it was revealed that her brother-in-law was Qi Liu Xiu, whom she met at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Fang Shi naturally put the blame on her head.


    Not only Fang Shi, but also her younger sister, Qi Liu Xiu¡¯s wife Shen Xin Lan, also hated her deeply.


    It¡¯s really funny. Even if this didn¡¯t happen, Fang Shi also hated her, the person who occupied the position that belonged to her. But what about her sister? Instead of resenting the adulterer and the harlot, she hated her own sister. Just because you can only pick soft persimmon!


    In this life, she can put an end to Qi Liu Xiu and Fang Bi Rong¡¯s first meeting at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. But why? The cow wants to drink water. Could it be that she is still insisted on not letting go?


    Don¡¯t blame her for being cold and selfish. Whoever gets stabbed in the back by her own sister again and again can¡¯t be magnanimous.


    This famous blind date banquet in disguise, Princess Kang has already held more than one time. So although there are many guests this time, the Prince¡¯s Palace is also well prepared. The male guests were led to the main hall, while the female relatives were carried by the blue cloth sedan carriage into the second door, and then went to the flower hall.


    When Shen Xin Yan, Yang Shi and Fang Bi Rong came in, the hall was already full of chatter and laughter.


    Princess Kang at the top was talking with the lady of the first assistant. Several noble ladies accompanied her from time to time. The young ladies were greeted by the county head of Pingxiu, the daughter of Princess Kang.


    Although there are no men who can support Ying Guo Gong mansion in the court, the Duke¡¯s wife is the eldest princess and the first aunt of the current sage. Although the present heir is quite sloppy, the saint¡¯s family is quite prosperous. So that Shen Xin Yan, the heir¡¯s wife, just came in. Many aristocratic ladies came forward to say hello.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen the eldest princess for a few days. I wonder if Your Highness will be well recently?¡± Princess Kang naturally did not dare to neglect her, and asked kindly.


    ¡°Princess is concerned. Mother is all well.¡±


    ¡°The lady next to Shizi Furen looks so good. Whose family girl is this?¡± On the other hand, the lady of the first assistant¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Fang Bi Rong. She asked expectantly.


    Fang Bi Rong reservedly gave a blessing to the ladies. She stood beside Shen Xin Yan and listened to her reply: ¡°This is Miss Fang, the daughter of the Marquis of Pingliang. This is the first time she came back to the capital. My sister-in-law asked me to take her with me to see the world¡±


    ¡°It turned out to be the girl from the Marquis Pingliang mansion.¡± The smile on the lady of the first assistant¡¯s face subsided.
