Shen Zhu heard the familiar voice and stopped in his tracks.

She turned her head and saw Shen Yao standing behind the crowd, staring at her with an unfriendly gaze. Not long later, Zhu Huiru walked out from the crowd.

Zhu Huiru and Shen Yao talked for a bit before the two of them walked to the front of Shen Zhu and Ah Qiu.

After the two of them left, the surrounding crowd of spectators also dispersed.

Only then did Shen Zhu realize that the person who was surrounded was actually a stall that sold accessories.

Seeing that Zhu Huiru was holding onto so many things, Shen Zhu could roughly guess what it was. It must be that Zhu Huiru and Shen Yao had their eyes on something, but were unable to come up with a price so they had quarreled with the stall owner.

"Yue Niang?" Zhu Huiru pretended to be surprised.

Zhu Huiru had already heard from Shen Yao that she was back, but the capital was so big, and she had never met him before. Naturally, she could not understand why Shen Zhu would come to the capital.

"Mother." Shen Zhu asked stiffly.

Although she didn't like Shen Yao, their relationship had already eased up a long time ago.

After Zhu Huiru heard this, she nodded her head half-heartedly as her eyes sized Shen Zhu up without blinking. She noticed that her clothes were luxurious, and what she wore, no matter if it was clothes or pearls, were all excellent materials …

All of these things were extremely precious and expensive, only the nobles in the capital could afford to buy them. Even Shen Yao, the official wife, wasn't as extravagant when dressed up.

Zhu Huiru lowered his head to look at the clothes he was wearing. Although these clothes were countless times better than the ones he had worn in the countryside, they were still lacking when compared to Shen Zhu's.

Her face changed a few times, but very quickly her expression changed. She still pretended to be friendly, and asked with concern: Yue Niang, how long have you been in the capital? Did you come alone? "Where's Zong Wen?"

"It's a long story." Shen Zhu explained everything to him, "The clan elder was originally a nobleman, but because of the matter, he was deposed to the countryside, and now that they have returned to their original positions, our entire clan has moved back to the capital. Naturally, Zong Wen became the son of Minister Mansion."

"So that's how it is." The smile on Zhu Huiru's face stiffened.

She could not help but think back to twenty years ago, when Su Zhizhong and the rest had just arrived in the village, the two families both looked like refined scholars.

In the beginning, the villagers were still discussing, they were curious about their origins, but Su Zhizhong did not say anything, and did not refute what the villagers said. After a while, no one continued to say anything.

Zhu Huiru only thought that Su Zhizhong was a foreigner, but he never thought that Su Zhizhong was the dignified Master of the Shu Clan.

Zhu Huiru secretly regretted his decision back then. If he had known earlier, he would have let his Yao'er marry.

"Since all of you have arrived at the capital, you should visit your homes more often in the future." Zhu Huiru pretended to be in deep love with his mother.

"Alright." Shen Zhu nodded.

The two of them continued to chat with each other. Shen Zhu was worried that the Ah Qiu might not be able to stand under the sun for too long with his body, so he didn't linger around for too long.

Shen Zhu: "I think it's getting late, and we have already been out for a while. If we don't go back now, I'm afraid our families will get anxious, and we will go back today. When we are free, I will go home with Zong Wen to visit Father."

"Sigh, slow down on the way." Zhu Huiru pretended to be concerned.

"Wait!" Shen Yao hurriedly said, his almond eyes staring straight at Shen Zhu to the point where he could almost spit out fire.

She had been angered by the Kong Family to the point that she had to return to her home for a while, but not only did Kong Linyuan not come to persuade her, he did not even send someone over to ask about it.

When she saw Shen Zhu today, the fury in her stomach was like a place to vent.

"Shen Zhu, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Shouldn't we sisters reminisce about old times? Right, do you know what my husband does? Have you met? What did your mother-in-law do to you? "

Shen Yao would never admit that she did it purely because of jealousy.

Shen Zhu and Su Zongwen's relationship was harmonious and yet she was facing a loss! He didn't know if it was Kong Linyuan who was heartless or his mother-in-law who was evil.

When the scattered people heard Shen Yao's nagging, they stopped and looked back and forth between Shen Zhu and the others.

The inside of the capital was not like those remote places. If she were to be entangled with Shen Yao, it would probably not even have a good effect on her Su Family.

Ah Qiu, on the other hand, was being pulled by Shen Zhu;

This Shen Yao was really like a lingering ghost. Even a fool could see that she, her sister-in-law, did not want to bother with Shen Yao at all!

"Shen Yao, shut up."

Shen Yao was about to continue speaking when she suddenly heard a cold shout from behind her, causing her to swallow back the words that were about to leave her mouth.

"Lin, Linyuan, why are you here?"

Shen Yao's body stiffened. When he turned his head back, he saw an ugly Kong Linyuan walking towards him.

Her face revealed a look of happiness, but thinking about Shen Zhu who was still in there, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.

"I got it, you came to see her!" You came here to find that seductive Shen Zhu, right? "

Shen Yao pointed at Kong Linyuan and shrieked sinisterly, looking just like a crazy woman.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kong Linyuan grabbed Shen Yao's wrist, and said with a gloomy face: "I purposely came here to bring you back!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Zhu. Even though he really wanted to go up and talk to her, due to his identity, he was still unable to take that step.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

Shen Zhu glanced at Shen Yao who was still spouting nonsense, turned and walked away with Ah Qiu.

"Moon …" Kong Linyuan's words that were about to reach his mouth was swallowed back into his stomach. As he watched Shen Zhu's leaving figure, his eyes contained an inexhaustible yearning.

Shen Yao had originally wanted to pick her up from hearing Kong Linyuan's words, but he felt a surge of joy in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, he saw his infatuated expression, and when he saw that he had been staring at Shen Zhu, he immediately started crying, "Kong Linyuan, I am your wife. You're looking at that vixen in front of me right now …"

"What are you doing? You don't think it's shameful on this street? " Kong Linyuan regained his senses, seeing that more and more people were looking in his direction, he became displeased and frowned.

"Mother, I'll take her back first." Kong Linyuan said to Zhu Huiru. Without even seeing that Zhu Huiru disagreed, he dragged the crying Shen Yao towards the horse carriage that was stopped nearby.

If not for the fact that he had just returned home after settling some matters, he probably wouldn't have encountered such a scene.

Kong Linyuan looked at Shen Yao who was at the side in annoyance, and made a decision in his heart.
