: Taking it into consideration

After doing all this, she suddenly bent down and held Lu Mei's hand with a painful look on her face: "Lu Mei, my stomach hurts."

Lu Mei hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Did the girl have a bad stomach? Let's go back quickly."

She still remembered her girl's instructions before going out. As long as she complained that she had a stomachache, she would tell her to go home.

After helping her into the carriage, Shen Zhiyi leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "Remember to send a message to father, saying that I am not feeling well and cannot go."

"Girl, you don't want to go to the banquet so much. That's the imperial city. How many people want to go but can't go."

She stretched out her hand to pour a cup of tea for Shen Zhiyi. The little girl held the tea cup and sneered: "Whoever wants to go, I won't go anyway."

All her life, she wanted to stay away from Jiang Huaice and everything related to him. Wasn't it good to live? She had to seek death.

Jiang Huaice waited around at the banquet, but she was nowhere to be seen. His excitement gradually turned into greater disappointment.

After a while, Xiao Zian walked up to him with a playful smile, raised his hand and hooked Jiang Huaice's neck.

"Minghuai, Minghuai, I heard an interesting thing today. Do you want to hear it?"

Jiang Huaice patted his hand down impatiently. He was so irritable that he was not in the mood to listen to him.

"Then Fourth Miss Shen is one against five, saving the hero over there on Second Street."

Xiao Zian was clapped by him, but he was not angry. He leaned back and sighed. Jiang Huaice turned around and looked at him after hearing Miss Shen Si: "What did you say?"

He frowned, obviously his patience had reached its peak, Xiao Zian stopped teasing him, went over and relayed what he saw to Jiang Huaice.

Xiao Zian hadn't seen Jiang Huaice's face getting darker and darker, so he was talking to himself.

"Tsk, but Miss Shen Si is really kind-hearted. The man she saved seems to be named Meng Xuan'an. I sent someone to find out. He is just a clerk from Baihe Academy. Hey, where are you going?"

With a clatter, the wine glass in Jiang Huaice's hand was placed heavily on the table. He stood up and walked out regardless of Xiao Zian calling him from behind.

It's Meng Xuan'an again. Jiang Huaice's heart is already rolling with thousands of waves. When he closes his eyes, Shen Zhiyi's words are in his mind: "Jiang Huaice, you and I are husband and wife. Even Meng Shidu has nothing to do with me." Everyone involved can plead for the Shen family, why are you so cruel! Why on earth!"

She was kneeling on the ground, crying so hard that her heart was broken, but he could only push her away and couldn't say a word more. Why after one sentence after another, it almost broke his heart.

He took a deep breath and punched the pillar. As if all his strength was taken away in an instant, he sat down on the railing feebly. He never wanted to hide anything from her, but he hid that one thing. There is no turning back.

After the dust-washing banquet, life returned to normal, but now Shen Zhi thought that if he wanted to prevent the Shen family from making the same mistakes again, he would first have to remind his honest father not to be too trusting of others.

For example, his colleague was the one who severely stepped on the Shen family when they were in trouble in the previous life. However, her father regarded him as a good friend, and it was he who placed the treason letter in his father's study.

It's just that she died too early in her previous life, and she doesn't know who the person behind the scenes is. From this point of view, she still needs to trace the identity of that person first, if she can enter the palace of these ministers.

"Yes!"

Suddenly she slapped the table and thought of an excellent idea. The wives of the important ministers in Dayong were more beautiful than each other, and the clothes they wore would never be the same. Therefore, they would often let the embroiderers come into the house to have their clothes tailor-made. The lady will also keep the embroiderer in the house until the clothes are finished.

Her embroidery skills are already very good, and coupled with her knowledge of fabric patterns in her previous life, she will definitely be able to open an embroidery workshop. In this way, she can form her own intelligence network and make the first move, so that she will not be in a passive position.

It's just that she is a farmer, an industrialist, and a businessman, so her identity still needs to be hidden, and she needs to find a reliable person to help her take care of it.

Thinking of this, she summoned Lu Mei to find out if there were any shops for rent. She had to keep this matter secret, so she couldn't use the Shen family's shop.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mei left for a quarter of an hour and then hurried back: "Girl, Mrs. Xiang is here. She is in the front hall at this time."

"Xiang Zihua's mother? What is she doing here?"

Shen Zhiyi now feels unlucky when he mentions Xiang Zihua. The most unlucky thing is Mrs. Xiang. She was the one she was referring to as the baby relative of Xiang Zihua back then. Her mother and Mrs. Xiang are related by marriage. Who is it? She had thought that her sister's husband would become arrogant after he became the chief envoy of Quang Binh.

He looked down on his mother at all times, belittled the Shen family into disgrace, and never mentioned the marriage. If he hadn't found a better family, he would have kicked them aside long ago.

"Madam asked the slave to tell the girl that Madam Xiang is here to propose marriage, and she asked you not to go out."

Lu Mei's face was also stained with anger. This person was really shameless. Her son humiliated her girl in front of everyone, and now he even proposed to marry her by licking his face.

"I'm afraid this matter is not simple. You should go and inquire about it in the Xiang Mansion. I'm afraid that Mrs. Xiang has dug a hole and is waiting for me to jump into it."

Shen Zhiyi didn't believe it. It was probably because her sister-in-law who was the chief envoy of Guangping fell from power and had no one to rely on. She thought of them again. Maybe there were other things behind this. But what puzzled her was that there was no such thing in her previous life. Once it came out, could it be that some things had changed because of rebirth?

Shen Shaowei also heard the news that Mrs. Xiang had come to the house. When she rushed to Chunyuyuan, Shen Zhiyi was still embroidering the handkerchief in his hand like an innocent person.

"You are quite calm."

She sat down in front of Shen Zhiyi and looked at the double-sided embroidery in her hand: "Xiang Zihua's mother is a snobbery. She must have bad intentions when she comes to the house at this time. I have sent Chun Xing to find out."

Shen Zhiyi smiled and looked at her: "Thank you very much, sister, for taking such trouble for me, but Lu Mei is back."

Lu Mei had an angry look on her face. She saluted the two of them and said, "Girl, that's really hateful to Xiang Zihua. He owes three hundred taels of silver at the gambling house! Now that Xiang's family can't pay back, he's thinking of us."

When she went to inquire, no one told the truth. Or she only found out after she saw Xiang Zihua going out and followed him secretly. Wasn't this a fraud?

Listening to Lu Mei's words, Shen Zhiyi also understood what Mrs. Xiang's plan was. He wanted her to marry Xiang Zihua and use his dowry to pay off the gambling debts to Xiang Zihua, while tying up the Shen family to death.

After all, she is also the daughter of the Shen family. If there is any difficulty in the future, can the Shen family not help?

"Her abacus is pretty good. It depends on whether I should respond or not."

Shen Shaowei held her hand and asked, "Does Zhizhi have an idea in mind?"

"I remember that according to Dayong Law, if someone commits a fraudulent marriage, they will be exiled for three thousand miles. This time, we will solve it once and for all to save future troubles."

A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Zhiyi's mouth. Mrs. Xiang would not tell her mother that Xiang Zihua owed gambling debts. Most of the deficits in the family in the past life were secretly financed by her mother for the sake of her in-laws. This time, she can also make her sober. , it’s not a loss to kill two birds with one stone.
