It only took half a day to arrive at the Shen Mansion. The Shen Mansion was originally the richest man in Yunlai County, but the current head of the Shen Mansion, Shen Zhiqing's second uncle, was not good at doing business. As a result, the Shen family was increasingly in decline and was no longer as prosperous as before. Mr. Shen is the concubine son of the old master of the Shen family. When Father Shen was alive, the Shen family did not pay much attention to him as the concubine, and he simply became an idle master. It was only when Father Shen died suddenly that he became the head of the family. Mrs. Shen was originally just Mr. Shen's concubine. Later, Mrs. Shen died of illness and became the main wife. Now Mrs. Shen's relationship with Shen Zhiqing's mother was not very good before, and she also loved money. Therefore, Mrs. Shen's mother When I left, I was afraid that Shen Zhiqing would be wronged in the house, so I sent her to my senior brother.
Arriving at the door of Shen's Mansion, Mr. Shen and his wife were already waiting at the door. Even if they had no feelings for this niece, she still had the title of princess, and the more they showed their respect for Shen Zhiqing, the more likely they would be if something happened in the future. You can also ask Shen Zhiqing for help.
Mr. Shen has a fat head, fat ears, and a round belly. Those who don't know better think that the Shen family was defeated by Mr. Shen. Mrs. Shen is dressed in heavy makeup. She is in her forties or fifties, and she still wears such bright colors as red. Like a madam in a brothel.
Shen Zhiqing opened the curtain first, stepped out of the carriage, and just when she stood still, Mrs. Shen walked up to Shen Zhiqing and took her hand, "Zhiqing, you are finally back. This door has been here for many years. You can think of it." Second aunt is dead."
Shen Zhiqing was frightened by Mrs. Shen's sudden enthusiasm. She recognized me, what should I do? Shen Zhiqing froze on the spot.
"Second Aunt." Mu and An opened the curtain and shouted lightly to Mrs. Shen.
"Ah." Mrs. Shen was confused by the situation in front of her. Didn't Shen Zhiqing come back by herself? Why was there another person? Who was she holding in her hand?
Shen Zhiqing adjusted her mood and bowed to Mrs. Shen Yingying, "Hello Mrs. Shen, I am Zhiqing's senior sister, Yueshu."
Mrs. Shen smiled awkwardly, but soon returned to her previous appearance. She took Mu Yuan's hand and said, "Zhiqing, you've lost weight. Come in quickly and I'll have someone give you a good patch up." It was as if she wasn't the one who held Shen Zhiqing's hand and expressed her feelings just now.
As he spoke, Mr. Shen also came forward and said, "Zhiqing, I haven't seen you in so many years and you are so beautiful." Mr. Shen's body trembled as he walked.
Mrs. Shen didn't have the slightest fondness for Shen Zhiqing in her heart. If she hadn't been about to become a princess, she wouldn't have stood at the door to greet her and embarrass her. If she had known better, she wouldn't have allowed her Ya'er to marry so early. Maybe it was her daughter who became the princess, and she was still looking at Shen Zhiqing's face. The royal family never mentioned this engagement. She thought it was because the royal family did not like Shen Zhiqing. If she had known it, Ya'er should have been waiting. Two years. Although Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied with Shen Zhiqing in her heart, her face was full of smiles. Both Mu and An could see the wrinkles on her face, and even the countless layers of makeup couldn't cover them.
Mu Yu'an spent some time in Yaogu before, and Shen Zhiqing came back this time not to catch up with the people in Shen's mansion, not to mention they had nothing to catch up with. After visiting Shen's father and Shen's mother, Mu and Shen Zhiqing An and Shen Zhiqing did not stay long. The special envoy who came to pick up Shen Zhiqing had already arrived at the inn. After receiving the letter, he came to pick them up at the door of Shen's mansion.
Before leaving, Mrs. Shen pulled Mu Yu'an and cried with tears in her eyes, "Zhiqing, you just came back and are about to leave. Second Aunt can't bear to leave you."
Mrs. Shen's superb acting skills made other people think that their aunt and nephew were so affectionate. Shen Zhiqing was also dumbfounded. She didn't know when her second aunt was so reluctant to leave her. No, she was right. Shen Zhiqing was reluctant to give up.
Mu Yuan's heart was calm, but her face was full of reluctance, "Second Aunt, Zhiqing can't bear to leave you either." As he said this, he covered his face with his hands, looking like he was about to cry.
Since you want to act, then I will act with you.
If Shen Zhiqing hadn't known Mu Yu'an's temperament, she would have thought that she was just a little girl who was reluctant to leave home. She suppressed the urge to laugh in her heart, walked to Mu Yu'an, hugged her, and comforted her, " Junior sister, don't be sad." Mu Yu'an took advantage of the situation and buried her head on Shen Zhiqing's body to prevent others from seeing that she was acting.
"Mrs. Shen, look at my junior sister crying so sadly, let's leave first." After saying goodbye, Mrs. Shen looked reluctant and helped Mu Yu'an get into the carriage. Mu Yu'an and Shen Zhiqing got on the carriage. Look at each other and smile.
Two men were sitting in the private room on the second floor of the largest restaurant in Kangjian City. These two men were the third prince Chu Sheng and the seventh prince Chu Mu.
Chu Sheng was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe with exquisite facial features. Chu Mu was dressed in an ice-blue brocade robe with distinct facial features and a slight smile on his face, like the spring breeze bathing in the sunshine.
"Seventh brother, we haven't had a good gathering since you came back from Xiangcheng."
"Third brother, when I come back this time, I will help you well, so you don't have to work so hard." If there is anyone in the entire palace who really cares about him, it is probably his third brother.
"Seventh brother, five years ago, Concubine De passed away. You went to Xiangcheng, and your marriage has been postponed until now. Now that your father has called you back, the people sent to pick up Miss Shen should have been received. Do you really want to marry her? .”
"Third brother, although I don't know much about this fiancée whom I have never met, since she is the princess my mother-in-law chose for me, I believe she will not be wrong about her."
"I have never understood why Empress De Fei chose an orphan girl to be your princess."
"Third brother, you also know that my mother-in-law has always wanted me to be an idle prince. She does this because she hopes that I can stay away from power."
Mu Yu'an's carriage traveled for three days before arriving at Kangjian City. "Miss Shen, we have arrived at Kangjian City."
Outside the city gate, Mu Yu'an looked at the word "Kangjian". This was a place her father did not want her to step into in her life, but now she had to step into it.
Shen Zhiqing looked at Mu Yu'an's appearance and knew that she was thinking of something sad again, so she held her hand and said, "I'm here."
Being held by Shen Zhiqing, she felt much warmer in her heart and smiled at her.
The carriage slowly drove into the city of Kangjian, and Mu Yuan listened to the bustling crowd outside the carriage and the shouts of various vendors. Kangjian is different from the northern border. The northern border does not have these dazzling novelties, and there is no prosperity in health...
In a teahouse, Chu Mu stood in front of the window in the private room on the second floor, looking at the slow-moving carriage. To be honest, he was curious about his fiancée. He only knew that she was the apprentice of the miracle doctor, and he must have been among these. So-called ladies from famous families are different.
Ji Li, the guard on the side, looked at his prince like this. He obviously wanted to see him but didn't go to see him, so he could only look at him secretly. In Ji Li's eyes, his prince was just shy. He couldn't help but joked, "My lord, you are not They said that there is new tea coming to the teahouse today, do you want to come and taste the tea? Why do you keep staring outside? The person sitting in this carriage must be the future princess. The prince wants to see the princess."
Chu Mu raised his hand and prepared to hit Ji Li with his fan, "You are still taking care of me."
Ji Li hurriedly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, Your Majesty."
When Chu Mu heard what Ji Li said, he was too embarrassed to stare out the window anymore. He sat back on the chair and picked up the teacup to drink tea, but there was no drop of water in the teacup. "Why hasn't the tea been delivered yet?"
Seeing that his prince was angry, Ji Li hurriedly brought the teapot over and left wisely, "I'll get it right away."
