After two days of rain, the weather suddenly turned cold.

Xiu Ying's new clothes were already made, and Shen Lian had also gotten one.

When Shen Lian came to greet him, she was surprised to see the clothes that Xin Mei had given him. Reaching out her hand to touch it, she felt that it was fine silk, and the Begonia embroidered on it was also very delicate, making her love it even more.

However, she was still relatively calm and knew that she had to thank Madam Feng first.

Madam Feng lightly said, "I'm used to putting a bowl of water on the level. Xiu Ying made three sets, but in reality, the two sets were made in accordance with the rules and were given out by the government. The rest was given to you by myself. You were born as a concubine, so I made a set for you according to the rules, but it's clear. "

Shen Lian who was about to kneel down suddenly stopped, feeling wronged. Her voice was low as she said, "Mother, your daughter knows what's good for her. Your daughter isn't dissatisfied."

"I know you know the seriousness of the situation. That's why you said it out loud." Madam Feng asked her to sit, and smiled with the corners of her lips. "I'm just afraid that someone will talk back to me, that's all."

Those words made Shen Lian even more helpless.

The Feng family put their priorities at the forefront. Furthermore, since she was sensible, it meant that she had a caution. This was a warning.

Shen Lian really couldn't even think about it anymore.

This first wife was truly amazing. She was adept at everything and would not allow anyone to grab onto even the tiniest bit of her hair. Besides, if she could just settle down, she would have a better life than before, and she was willing to do so.

Now that she no longer had Aunt Cui backing her up, even Old Madam Shen was wary of her stepmother. She was no worse off than when Aunt Cui had been doing things back then.

She understood and stood up to bow to Madam Feng. "Mother, you will definitely remember your kindness towards your daughter!"

Madam Feng did not say anything else. She was told to leave so that she would not be so restrained.

The moment she left, Xiu Ying rolled her eyes. "Which daughter is she, hateful!"

The servants in the room were all close friends between mother and daughter. When they saw her expression, they couldn't help laughing out loud. They were all jealous.

Madam Feng was also overjoyed and pulled her into her embrace. "She's so sweet on the mouth to please, but you're also jealous, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Two jars! " Xiu Ying snorted and ran out the door.

Madam Feng hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing? There's wind outside, put on a cloak!"

Xiu Ying replied without turning her head, "It just so happens that the wind can blow away the sour taste!"

Madam Feng had truly been defeated by her, so she told Huang'er to hurry up and catch up with her. This girl must have gone to look for her third uncle.

After the second room left, she only had one place left to go.

Madam Feng sighed with melancholy as she thought about it. Perhaps, she should start planning now.

Xiu Ying had indeed run over to Shen Jun Xiao's side. Shen Jun Xiao was currently sitting in the yard, cooking tea. His clothes were fluttering in the wind, giving him an otherworldly charm.

"Why are you here at this time?"

Shen Jun had noticed it the moment the little girl entered the door. Seeing that she was not even wearing a cloak, he chided her, "Why not wear a thicker cloak? Where's your little girl? "

Pang'er caught up just as she was panting heavily. When she heard his words, her skin tensed up.

San Ye's cold face was too intimidating.

Xiu Ying was also very protective and hurriedly explained to her little girl, "I ran too fast. I'm not cold. Third uncle, you have to worry. Why don't you give me a few cups of tea to drink?"

Ye Zichen walked forward with a smile and blinked mischievously.

It's kind of like a small animal.

Shen Jun's smile became wider as she teased him.

"Sit down. I'll teach you tea."

Xiu Ying cried out in her heart. She wasn't a masochist like that little tyrant. Her hands were red from being scalded, and she still wanted to learn the art of tea.

Shen Jun smiled and ignored her pretentious look. He began to talk seriously about every step of the way, with some common sense about tea between them. Hearing these words, Xiu Ying's interest was piqued and she remembered them seriously.

Shen Jun couldn't bear to see Xiu Ying suffer either. After finishing her sentence, he didn't let her touch the tea set. He told her to go back and memorize what had just happened. He would look into it some other day.

It was only natural for Xiu Ying to run into trouble at Mu Xi Yuan for dinner. However, there was a small accident during dinner.

Xiu Ying lost a tooth.

"Puff …"

Shen Jun couldn't hold back his laughter as he looked at the frowning little girl who was using a handkerchief to hold her head.

Xiu Ying was so angry that her face turned red. She had never been so bold as she stared at him.

Shen Jun didn't want to laugh, but when he thought about how Xiuxiu had changed her teeth, and had switched to someone else's who was next to her front teeth, he couldn't help but feel as if his mouth had leaked air … No, he wanted to laugh.

In his memories, he had long since seen Xiu Ying's slim and graceful appearance, and he had never seen her lose her teeth. She had hidden herself back then, and now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt a sense of joy no matter how she thought about it.

"Alright, third uncle isn't just mocking you." Shen Jun coughed and laughed. The smile on his face had disappeared, but it was still reflected in his eyes.

Xiu Ying became even angrier.

Third uncle was actually trying to coax her!

"I'm ignoring you!" Xiu Ying covered her mouth and said in a muffled voice.

Seeing that the little girl was about to run away, Shen Jun smiled. He was truly angry and quickly held her, kneeling down and begging for forgiveness.

"Uncle was wrong. I'm not angry." The youth coaxed with a sincere look on his face.

However, Xiu Ying was not only angry, but also irritated.

In the past, aside from her mother, no one had ever seen her without a tooth. How was she going to face Third Uncle in the future?!

"I'll make you eat fewer candied fruits that day." Shen Junxiao looked at her fuming face and thought that she was very adorable. "Open your mouth and let Third Uncle see if there's any blood trickling out. How much has your new tooth grown?"

"I won't, you're so annoying!" Xiu Ying's face turned red. She humphed and still ran away.

Zhi-Er took the handkerchief that she had thrown on the table and put it away, then she smiled and bent her knees towards Shen Jun. "Third Master, this servant will bring back the handkerchief for big miss to take a look. There shouldn't be any big problems."

The youth nodded as he thought of something else. "Come over again when you're free."

Doubt flashed across Zhi-Er's eyes as she replied solemnly.

It was already close to winter and the sun had long since set. The curtain of night enveloped the earth, accompanied by the blowing wind that made people feel chilled for no reason.

Shen Junxiao had just received a reply from the capital. Looking at the date at the end of the letter, he calculated that they had been delayed for a day on the road.

He didn't know that the old man had done it on purpose, but he had indeed been delayed.

He helplessly smiled, and the smile on his face quickly faded. A layer of coldness covered his eyes and brows.

The person changing the topic was actually Li Qingzhao. Even if those people were to spread the news, no one would believe them. Furthermore, Li Qingzhao was leaning against Liu Yun. If Liu Yun knew, he probably wouldn't have let them open their mouths. However, how did Li Qingzhao know the answers to the questions?

Shen laughed at himself for not remembering this year's exam questions, but he still had a vague idea of the exam's scope.

This Li Qinghao was truly quite impressive.

Could it be that there was someone stronger than Liu Yun behind him?

Shen Jun smiled and thought for a long time, but he didn't dare to be sure. He could only call for Lian Qing to come over and ask the people he had sent to stay in the capital to investigate.

Actually, he knew that Old Marquis Dou would also send someone to investigate, but he still felt uneasy.
