After Jiang Huaice walked into the flower hall, Shen Fu asked people to serve tea. He made a gesture of invitation. Jiang Huaice did not give in anymore and sat aside.

According to his official rank, it is reasonable for him to sit in the chief position, but privately, he has always regarded Shen Fu as his elder and his father-in-law, so he sat aside. Shen Fu looked at him with a somewhat meaningful look and could only Sit opposite him.

"Master Marquis, you said that you came here today for a private matter. May I ask what private matter it is?"

"Old lady."

Before Jiang Huaice could say anything, the servants' greetings sounded outside the door. Mrs. Shen was supported by Mother Lin and walked in. When she saw Jiang Huaice, she first bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Hou."

Her eyes seemed to see through everything. Jiang Huaice raised his hand and said, "Old madam, there is no need to be polite."

"Please take a seat, Lord Marquis. You are a distinguished guest and you deserve to be seated."

The distinguished guest pushed Jiang Huaice out again. The man pursed his lips and said nothing. He stood up and walked to that seat to sit down. Only then did Mrs. Shen sit where he had just sat: "Master Hou is here this time, but for Prince Kang's sake." memorial?"

Mrs. Shen was also from a famous family. Although she didn't know why she married Mr. Shen back then, she was definitely a strategic woman. Jiang Huaice raised his eyes and looked at her and replied: "Yes."

"Miss Shen Si is kind-hearted to help, but Prince Kang is not a kind person, and he will never allow the meat in his mouth to fly. In desperation this morning, he can only make the decision to temporarily suspend Dr. Shen. I hope Be considerate.”

His words were concise and to the point, with a hint of sincerity and respect in his tone. Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes and said, "Master Hou saved the Shen family. We have to thank him."

"It's just that you are here now because of Prince Kang's affairs, or for the person who did it?"

She looked at Jiang Huaice with a hint of probing and appraising eyes. At this time, a little maid came up with tea. He stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup. He waited until the little maid had finished serving the tea before he spoke: " It’s both.”

The man's words were somewhat indifferent. He lowered his eyes and just looked at the tea in the cup, making a pun. Mrs. Shen put her hand on the tea cup and stared silently. Shen Fu folded his hands and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit tense.

"Master Marquis, is it possible that you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and have fallen in love with wild game?"

Mrs. Shen didn't want Shen Zhiyi to have too much involvement and involvement with Jiang Huace, so she asked this question just to hear what he was thinking.

Although Jiang Yun and Zhizhi's fathers were brothers who were close friends in life and death, they are both gone, and those jokes have long been buried under the soil with their corpses, so why does he bother them.

When Jiang Yun died, Jiang Huaice was still young, and Jiang Yun had been at the border all year round. She thought that he must have never mentioned that joke to Jiang Huaice, so how did he know Zhizhi and how did he get to know Zhizhi? Involved.

Jiang Huaice listened to Mrs. Shen's words and just replied: "Whatever I want will last forever."

From the moment he puts Zhi Zhi in his heart, all his choices and the direction of his heart belong to Zhi Zhi, and they will last until death.

But he was very curious, why could he vaguely feel the old lady's hostility towards him?

"Master Hou, the Shen family can handle the matter of the Shen family. I accept your kindness today, and I will definitely come to thank you in person in the future."

Mrs. Shen had a light smile on her face and said this lightly. He didn't want Zhizhi and Jiang Huaice to continue to be involved, so he would tell Jiang Huaice the attitude of the Shen family from today on.

"Old madam, I am not rescuing you. I am taking action for His Highness the Crown Prince."

"I came today to tell Mr. Shen that the position of Right Assistant Minister will be vacant in half a month. I would also like to ask Mr. Shen to prepare for the official assessment."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Huaice stood up and left quickly. Shen Fu looked at his back and was still confused. The old lady sighed: "My son."

Hearing Mrs. Shen calling him, Shen Fu turned around and walked to her to support her: "Mother."

"My son is smart and will definitely be able to rise to the top, but if he does this, Zhi Zhi may be caught in that person's eyes."

For so many years, Shen Fuzang had been clumsy and had been relegated to the position of a sixth-rank petty official. It was because of Zhizhi that he had received great kindness from her father, so he did his best to protect her.

But to be honest, even if he could continue to be mediocre, the same could not be said for Shen Shaoqing and Shen Shaonan. He could not let these two children have no future because of Zhizhi alone.

In the future, when the two brothers embark on official careers, Zhizhi's identity will be exposed sooner or later.

"Before, I thought that Meng Xuan'an would be an excellent candidate, but that day I thought about it carefully. Meng Xuan'an is capable. In the future, he will be crowned king and become a marquis, and he will be in the cabinet. It would not be appropriate for Zhi Zhi to marry him. ."

The old lady looked thoughtful and spoke slowly. Shen Fu frowned as he listened to her words and responded: "But mother, we can't just let Zhizhi hide like this for the rest of his life just because of the slightest possibility."

It has been almost twenty years since this incident happened. He also knew that Mrs. Shen was worried that Zhi Zhi would be harmed, but hiding it all the time was not an option.

"My son doesn't understand. That man is as ruthless as his father. Do you know what it means when Zhizhi's identity is exposed?"

Mrs. Shen stood up, looked at the light on the horizon, and hit Shen Fu's heart with every word, causing thousands of feet of waves: "A century-old noble family will fall apart like this. If he wants to continue to hold this glory tightly, he will never do it." Allow the branches to survive.”

"Mother, Zhizhi is just a child. She doesn't have anything in her hands to verify all of this. Why does that person have to be exterminated?"

Shen Fu really didn't understand, what could Zhizhi do with a child?

"She is alive, which is the best evidence."

After all, she was the only child who survived the massacre. She was still alive and was saved by her family at the risk of death. This in itself was evidence to bring down that person. It was not that the old lady had never thought of exposing everything before him.

But it was just a test that made her lose her biological child, the young man who was supposed to step into an official career after winning the election.

"My mother is thinking about my brother again. If my brother is alive in heaven, he will definitely not want to see my mother so sad."

When Shen Fu looked at Mrs. Shen's face, he knew that she was thinking of his brother, Shen Weizhi, the amazingly talented brother who was known as the Fourth Young Master of Wenzhou.

"That's all, let's not talk about it anymore. It's all over. Isn't Siqi going to take the scientific examination this year? If he is going to be released, let Zhizhi go with him. If he can find a good husband in the prefecture where Siqi is in charge, , nature is the best.”

"If that doesn't work, I will arrange a marriage for her from Wenzhou. In short, she should not get involved in anything or anyone in Huai Jing."

The Shen family started their fortune in Wenzhou. There is the Shen family's ancestral hall and old residence there. Even if Shen Zhiyi marries to Wenzhou, the old lady can help her and make her happy and worry-free throughout her life.
