As the sun began to rise, the Shen Mansion once again began to fill with the sound of weeping.
Shen Hong had long since been escorted by his younger brother to the mourning hall. When he arrived, he saw Shen Jun smiling with a dark green eye, silently looking at him with tears in his eyes.
For the past few days, the youth did not rest at all. He would often squint his eyes and swallow for half an hour before waking up.
The events of his previous life would always happen in his dreams.
He thought that it was probably because the mourning hall reminded him of the departure of the little girl from his past life that disturbed him.
As the sun rose higher and higher, more and more people gathered at the Shen Mansion.
Shen Hong's legs and legs were inconvenient, and Shen Jun simply didn't want him to come into contact with any outsiders. Thus, he was the one receiving all of the guests outside. The youth walked to the front yard under the blinding sunlight. He bowed to the people who came and thanked them one by one before ordering them to lead the way to the mourning hall.
As he turned around, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure mixed in with the group of people from before.
He frowned. He only felt that it was familiar, but he could not recall it at the moment.
He wanted to go forward and identify him, but the steward hurried over, saying that the second master had arrived at his house. When he looked back, he had already walked past the bamboo forest.
"Let's go and welcome my second brother." Shen Jun smiled as he retracted his gaze, feeling that he had been too worried.
Which one of the people who came to the Shen family was not familiar, so he lifted his foot and walked towards the shadow wall.
When the youth arrived, Second Master Shen had already got out of the car, wearing dark colored clothes. Second Madam and Xiu Guan's juniors got off the car one after another. Shen Guan had been crying so much that she was afraid that Shen Jun would smile, but now she was so sad that she didn't care and just jumped into his arms.
"— Third Uncle, how could big sister be in trouble? You lied to us, right!?"
The little girl's eyes were swollen from crying, while the son of the Second Branch, Shen Qing Rui, was also crying. Big Sis had just given him a handkerchief she had personally embroidered.
Second Master Shen quickly pulled his daughter away and threw a look to his younger brother. Naturally, they would not tell their children about such an important matter.
Faced with this little girl who kept crying, Shen Junxiao thought of his previous life, and when the long-married Xiu Guan found out that her sister had died, she cried all the way back.
She was one of the people in this family who genuinely liked her.
Shen Jun finally showed a smile on his face, which had been cold for the past few days. He raised his hand and patted Xiu Guan's head, then said, "Ying Guan, don't cry. If you do this, your big sister will only be hurt."
Shen Guan couldn't stop, holding his father's hand and crying loudly. Second Madam Shen quickly took the children to the side so the two brothers could walk ahead and talk.
"Why is it so sudden?" Shen Er laoshi didn't know how he should explain the matter, so he said those words after a moment of hesitation.
"It's not out of the blue. This day will come eventually." The young man did not seem to have a smile on his face, but his handsome face revealed a cold look under the sunlight, "Big brother was wrong back then. If it was even a little later, the Shen family would have probably been implicated. It's better to come early than later. "
After careful consideration, combined with what his younger brother had said in his letter, the situation now was indeed the best one. He couldn't help but sigh. "Big Brother was really muddle-headed back then."
Shen Jun smiled and did not reply, silently leading him to the mourning hall. At this moment, Shen Jun had a smile on his face as he recalled the figure of the general. He scanned the entire Mourning Hall, but couldn't find the figure.
He frowned slightly, but could only put this matter behind him in the end.
Shen Junxiao saw that it was Li Qingzhao, who had travelled for a day and a night. After confirming Yu Ying's death, he didn't dare to stay in the Shen family for long. He immediately left in a panic and almost tripped on the ground a few times.
It could not have been more real.
He stood on the street, not understanding what the pain in his heart meant when he saw the tablet. He clearly blamed Shen Ying.
Why did she have to go back to her previous life at such a young age?
Anyway, he didn't need to rely on the Shen family in this life. Perhaps, he was just feeling pity for such an exquisite beauty like Shen Ying.
He had even planned to wait for the Feng Family to pass away, just like in his previous life. Since the people of this dynasty said that they would not marry their mother and their daughter, at that time, he would go to the Shen family to marry Shen Ying as his concubine. Most of the Shen family would agree to it. He was his woman in his previous life, how could he marry her again in this life and have fun under her.
He had already planned that he would be able to rise to the top with Liu Yun's help. Once his mother died, Shen Xiuying would only be his concubine!
It was a pity.
Li Qingzhao closed his eyes, and for some reason, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He looked for the carriage driver, then headed back to the capital.
The Shen family was still in a mess, while Xiu Ying was in a quiet place in the Marquis' Mansion.
As long as Madame Zhou was in a coma every day, she would spend the rest of the day in the main courtyard with Madam Feng. As of now, the world could still be considered peaceful. Zhou Zhen would go home to his wife and daughter every day when he rejoined the Military Department. Zhou Jiayu was currently serving in the Military and Horse Division of the five cities, and would be returning home on duty every day.
As for Xiu Ying, she only met her cousin Zhou Xian when she had a headache, but she didn't seem to be in a conflict with her.
Xiu Ying stayed in the house for three days, and finally had a sense of belonging. On this day, Feng Zhen hurried over, asking for the mother and daughter pair to come to the Duke's Mansion.
Lady Feng, upon hearing this, looked at her expectant daughter. When she was about to change clothes, she said to her brother, "Big brother, you have always doted on me since you were young. Can you honestly tell me what father and mother thought? I... "It's good for me to have a guess."
She had been back for three days. Even though she was not feeling well, Feng Zhen had sent someone to tell her that her parents wanted her to stay with them. But she knew in her heart that the Residence of Duke Protector probably didn't want her back so much.
Madam Feng was a meticulous person. Just by thinking about it, she knew that there was a problem. Furthermore, she understood her old-fashioned and stubborn father.
Feng Yong looked at his sister's gentle face and remained silent.
His little sister's complexion had improved in the past few days, and her beautiful eyes had regained their lustre. It could be seen that she was slowly walking out from the Shen family's matters, and Zhou Zhen was truly treating her well. What happened at home... If he told her the truth, it would only make her sad.
Feng Zhen, who never hesitated in the face of critical battles, hesitated.
"Big brother, tell me, at least if Xiu Ying discovers anything, I can explain it to her." I don't want the child to think the grandfather doesn't like her. " Lady Feng spoke softly and her face blossomed into a smile.
She didn't care what her parents thought of her, but she definitely couldn't be implicated. She wanted to live on for the sake of her children.
"Mother is very happy to know that you have come back, and she looks forward to seeing you every day. Father... You know father is a bit stubborn, but I've already told him that I will protect you and your daughter to the end. If he doesn't let your family come, then I might as well give him this position. "
"— Big Brother." Lady Feng stood up in a flurry, her hair swaying from side to side as she moved. She felt her heart ache. "Big brother, you can't say such willful words!"
"The old man would definitely not take up this topic, that's why I said otherwise he would not be able to go down to see his ancestors in a hundred years."
Feng Zhen snorted coldly.
When Madam Feng heard this, she could only laugh impatiently. When the father and son got angry, it was still the same as before.
Very quickly, Xiu Ying had changed into a new set of clothes. She wore a light green short jacket, and at the bottom was a dark green embroidered powder lotus Xiang skirt. It was something he had done at the Shen household, and he hadn't worn it yet. It made her skin go white, and even her round waist looked slender.
Feng Zhen saw her and immediately smiled. He stood up and carried her in his arms again, "Come, let's go greet your maternal grandfather and grandmother. Remember to ask for a big red seal. Your grandfather hid a lot of jade carving gadgets, so your uncle helped coax you to play with them. "
Being treated like a child, Xiu Ying felt helpless, but she still gave him a bright smile. Everyone saw her losing her composure, crying until her nose was full of tears. She was so ugly that she broke down.
