On this day, Shen Yingyue and Siqi went to deliver something to another palace. When walking through a small road, two young eunuchs on the opposite side were carrying a stretcher with a corpse on it, covered with a sheet.

As I was passing by, a gust of wind happened to blow by, and the sheet was lifted open, revealing Cui Liu's young and tender face.

At this moment, her eyes were closed and she was motionless.

"Your Majesty is still waiting for a reply. Let's go quickly." Seeing that she had seen what she should see, Si Qi continued to walk forward without saying anything extra.

Shen Yingyue came to her senses and followed her footsteps.

…

It was already half a month after Shen Xinyue and Lu Zhong arrived in Kyoto.

The two returned to Zhenxihou Mansion together.

Looking at the Gaomen Courtyard in front of her and the large gilt characters Zhenxi Houfu on the plaque, Shen Xinyue couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

In the past, you had to pay to buy a ticket to enter a courtyard of this level. You may have to stay here for a long time in the future.

Just when her eyes were still on the two majestic stone lions at the door, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her hand.

"My second uncle and second aunt are both very easy-going people. Don't worry, no one will make things difficult for you. There are no people in my yard. You will know when you go to see me."

He was telling Shen Xinyue in disguise that there was no one in his room, let alone those messy things.

"You know my character. I can't bear even the slightest grievance. It's okay for irrelevant people to just pretend. If it's someone else..."

"Why do unrelated people pretend to be?" Lu Zhong held her hand tightly: "I didn't marry you just to make you compromise. With your man here, everything that happens will be blamed on me. "

Hearing this, Shen Xinyue pursed her lips and smiled.

When the young man guarding the door saw that his master had returned, he opened the door to welcome him, and at the same time asked someone to go back quickly to inform the second master and second wife.

"Didn't you say that we will arrive in two days? Why did you come back early?"

"The prince also brought a girl back."

Hearing that he hadn't changed his words yet, Mrs. Lu's second wife, Ge Shi, was a little unhappy and reprimanded with a stern face: "Have you forgotten the rules I taught you before? According to the order, you should be called the eldest young master."

After hearing this, the boy hurriedly responded.

Lu Zhong led Shen Xinyue in. Lu Qi and Ge Shi were already waiting in the front hall.

When Shen Xinyue saw Lu Qi, surprise flashed in her eyes.

Lu Zhong and his second uncle look really alike.

Later, when I thought about it, Lu Zhong seemed to have mentioned to her that Lu Qi and Lu Zhong's father were twins, so it was understandable that Lu Zhong and Lu Qi looked so similar.

However, she still had to sigh that the Lu family's genes were so powerful.

After Lu Zhong introduced both parties, Lu Qicai asked: "Didn't I say before that I would be back in two days? Why did it come earlier?"

"There were too many people on the streets when the army returned to the city."

Afterwards, the uncle and nephew said a few more words, and Lu Zhong stood up and left, taking Shen Xinyue back to his yard.

"Master, are you back?"

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, a beautiful green figure came out to greet them.

She was moving very fast, but when she was two meters away from Lu Zhong, she restrained herself and stopped.

A pair of eyes looked at Lu Zhong up and down, making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xiaoli, you only have eyes for the young master."

Chang Ping's unintentional joke made Xiaoli change her color instantly.

"Chang Ping, what are you talking about?"

Chang Ping didn't know why a person who was so happy just now suddenly changed his color.

But he wanted to make Xiaoli happy, so he quickly changed the subject, pointed at Shen Xinyue next to Lu Zhong and said, "Xiaoli, this is Miss Shen, who will be our young lady from now on."

Xiaoli actually saw Shen Xinyue from the beginning, and also noticed that Lu Zhong looked at her in an unusual way, but she never expected that the two of them would develop so quickly and would reach the point of discussing marriage.

The smile on her face became more and more forced.

"Go and call everyone else in the yard." Lu Zhong said. Xiaoli didn't dare to delay, so she quickly turned around and called people. At the same time, she was also afraid that she would be unable to hide the expression on her face by accident.

Soon everyone in the yard was called out.

The servants in the yard are very simple.

In addition to the two eldest girls Xiaoli and Xiaoqiu, there are also two women on the stove and a few servants, a total of only a dozen people.

After the death of Lu Lian, the Marquis of Zhenxi, the eldest princess was extremely sad and her health became very bad.

Lu Zhong didn't want her to miss people after seeing things, so he accompanied her back to the eldest princess' mansion and stayed there for two years.

Later, after the eldest princess disappeared, he was no longer in Kyoto often, so all the old people stayed in the eldest princess' mansion.

The ones in the yard now were all selected with the help of Mrs. Lu Er.

"This is Miss Shen. How you treat me is how you treat her."

There was no severe admonishment, but everyone knew in their hearts that there had not been a woman in the courtyard for so many years, and the woman in front of them must be their future young lady.

Therefore, everyone's attitude towards Shen Xinyue is very respectful.

"I have been living in the same courtyard as you since I came here. Will it have any impact on you if word spreads?" When the two returned to the room, Shen Xinyue couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lu Zhong pulled her to sit down on the seat next to him, and chuckled: "Who would ask for trouble to bite the back of my tongue."

"Why didn't I realize before that you are actually thicker-skinned than me?"

Lu Zhong: "I'm going to the palace in a while, so you can rest assured at home. There is Chang Ping outside. If you want to go out, just ask him."

Shen Xinyue wanted him to help inquire about the current situation of her second sister Shen Yingyue in the palace, but when she thought that he was busy with things recently and had to go to the palace to meet the saint, she hesitated for a moment, then just nodded and said nothing. explain.

Before Lu Zhong went out, he called Xiaoli over again: "Tell the stove to cook some light and delicious meals and bring them over."

Then he turned to look at Shen Xinyue: "You were in a hurry all the way. I see that you didn't eat well. You can eat something simple first, and then when I come back in the evening, I will go over to attend the family banquet with my second uncle and the others."

Xiaoli had never seen Lu Zhong show such a gentle side to any woman. For a moment, she didn't know whether it was because she felt more bitter or because she was more envious of Shen Xinyue.

Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Zhong turned around and asked doubtfully, "Why aren't you going?"

Xiaoli came back to her senses, hurriedly responded and turned around to go out.

It wasn't until I reached a corner and made sure no one saw me that I finally couldn't help but shed tears.

She was assigned to Jinzhuyuan for six years.

When I first learned that I could serve the handsome prince of Fengshen, countless sisters around me looked at him with envy and jealousy.

She was so excited that those few days felt like she was dreaming.
