Lin Jingzhou was astonished when he first met Li Yaoqin last time. He turned around to investigate carefully and found out that she was the legitimate daughter of Cheng'an Bo Mansion.

That is, Li Yaoqin, who donated the arrow-proof jacket through Li Yishu's hand!

This greatly aroused Lin Jingzhou's interest. He only thought this woman was smart, but he didn't expect to be such an intriguing woman.

He also learned that that day she went to see Princess Xian regardless of etiquette, just to find out whether her brother was safe, but she was a person who valued love and justice. Thinking of this, Lin Jingzhou's mind reappeared in Lin Jingzhou's mind.

He discussed matters in the north with King Xian today, and he just issued the order. Did she feel it?

Lin Jingzhou is becoming more and more interested in Li Yaoqin.

During this period, Mrs. Shen was feeling uncomfortable because of her children. Suddenly, she learned that the Cheng family had entered Beijing at this time. It was like injecting a clear spring into her heart. Thinking of the sisterhood between her and Mrs. Cheng over the years, Suddenly I felt a bit of the warmth of life.

Mrs. Shen knew that when the Cheng family came to Beijing for the first time, things were messy and they were unfamiliar with the place, so she sent her son to ask for help: if you need anything, just ask.

Shen Zhaoning knew that this was a disguised attempt to impress the Cheng family, so he felt a little embarrassed and could not go against his mother's orders, so he had to go away with a blushing face.

This made Shen Qiujun laugh at her. Although she was surprised that the Cheng family's arrival in Beijing had been delayed for a month or two, she was secretly encouraged: she would definitely get along well with Cheng Xiumei in this life, and her second brother would not have to make it difficult for him to be a good person.

Mrs. Cheng sent someone here as soon as she saw the Shen family. She was secretly relieved and saw that it was Shen Zhaoning. She knew that the Shen family still recognized this marriage, and seeing how talented Shen Zhao was, he was now in the palace. Facing the errand, he felt even more happy from the bottom of his heart. While warmly entertaining Shen Zhaoning, he also said that he would visit the old sisters as soon as possible after the house was tidied up.

In the inner house, Cheng Xiumei's Aunt Wang was also saying happily: "Look at Mr. Shen, he is quite good, not to mention his appearance. His attitude is also respectful, and he is not as arrogant as the ordinary young masters of the Hou Mansion. He is really worthy of his wife." Much respect."

Cheng Xiumei was secretly happy after hearing this, but she said with a faint smile: "Mrs. Shen has a very good relationship with my mother, so naturally it is not easy for him to get married. Besides, my father has now entered the capital and is also a second-rank official. Although he dare not He is comparable to Lord Shen, but much higher than him, a sixth-grade imperial guard."

The girls all lowered their heads and snickered when they saw the duplicity of their young lady.

When Cheng Xiumei saw this, she felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't defend herself anymore, otherwise there would really be no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Because of the good relationship between the two wives, the engagement was often talked about. She and Shen Zhaoning were often teased when she was a child. Now that she has grown up, although Shen Zhaoning's appearance is no longer remembered, But every time I think about it, that feeling is always different in my heart.

Just when Cheng Xiumei was feeling uncomfortable, Mrs. Cheng had already sent Shen Zhaoning away and came to the back house to visit her daughter.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her graceful daughter and felt quite proud of herself. With her daughter's appearance, it would be unreasonable for her to marry into the Marquis's house as a clan wife, let alone marrying only the second son of his family!

When Cheng Xiumei saw her mother's demeanor, she knew that her mother had committed an old habit again. She hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother sit down, and said with a smile: "These days, I have to rely on my mother to do all the work inside and outside. It's really hard, and my daughter can't always help. I feel extremely sorry for having to do this for you. If there is anything my daughter can do, please just tell me directly. My daughter also wants to share some of your worries."

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "My daughter was born blessed. My mother can do all these things at home. You just sit back and be your daughter! You are very tired along the way. Look. , are quite haggard. We need to take a good rest these days. In three days, we will go to the Shen Mansion to visit your Aunt Shen."

Cheng Xiumei's face couldn't stop turning red at this time.

Mrs. Cheng ordered everyone to disperse, leaving her mother alone to talk.

Cheng Xiumei knew that this was what her mother was going to tell her about the details of her visit, and her face became even redder.

Mrs. Cheng said: "Back then, Mrs. Shen and I had formed a friendship since we were still in the boudoir. Later, we got married and we made an appointment to marry our children. Later, when we were in Lu, you also played with Shen Zhaoning. We are childhood sweethearts, we know everything, and I just saw that Shen Zhaoning is a promising person, so I felt relieved."

Cheng Xiumei just lowered her head and looked at the handkerchief in her hand.

Mrs. Cheng knew that her daughter was listening carefully, so she added: "Some time ago, I think you also heard about the third daughter of the Shen family. From this incident, it can be seen that the Shen family is quite enlightened and loves their daughter very much. Yes, after arriving at the Shen family, you must pay attention to making friends with Miss Shen San..."

At this time, Cheng Xiumei raised her head and interrupted her mother's words, saying, "What are you doing, mother? We are just going to be guests in three days. I am not going to get married. I don't know what will happen to this marriage in the future. It’s not like the Shen family has hired someone without any formality, so my mother is thinking too far ahead. As for Miss Shen San, she has to wait until I meet her before I know whether we can get along with her!"

Mrs. Cheng knew that her daughter was a bit left-leaning. Moreover, although the Shen Mansion also sent Shen Zhaoning, she was not sure. She always told her daughter that she was the wife of the Shen family. If the marriage changed, she would not kill her daughter. He stopped talking.

In fact, Mrs. Cheng has been worried about her daughter all her life. When she was outside, because she didn't dare to expect that the Shen family would take this unconfirmed marriage seriously, she also paid attention to some local young talents. First of all, she couldn't bear to treat her daughter. I was left alone, and secondly, I really didn’t like anyone. I always felt that my daughter was good in everything, and few people could match her. And because of my own experience, I was always worried that that person would not be able to treat my daughter well in the future. It has been postponed until now. Fortunately, Shen Zhaoning has complied with the promise and is not involved in marriage.

This marriage in the Shen family is really of the highest quality. Mrs. Shen met Shen Zhaoning in person again, and she felt more and more satisfied. She was afraid that her daughter would accidentally lose this good marriage, so she came here to give her a few words of advice. When the daughter was like this, she excused herself and went to work, leaving her alone to think deeply.

Grandma Wang also heard what Mrs. Cheng said, and she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Although Mrs. Cheng said it a little early, it makes sense. However, the reputation of the third Miss Shen family is a bit indecent, which is far away. Okay, so as not to bring trouble to the young lady, as long as you don't antagonize her, it won't matter if she gets married in the future."

Cheng Xiumei couldn't help but sneered: "Fuyu and I grew up together, and I'm somewhat sure of her character. It's just that she has changed as she grows up. I'll know it when I meet her three days later." !I know that my grandma is doing my best and doesn’t want me to be too close to her. But if I treat her like this just because of the Jin family’s affairs, it will betray the friendship between me and her since we were young, and it will seem like I have no independent opinion. , everyone is following what others say, besides, the sixth prince caused the incident, Fuyu is sitting at home, and the disaster comes from the sky, what is her fault?"

Grandma Wang knew that the young lady had had ideas since she was a child, so she stepped back with a smile.

Cheng Xiumei secretly sighed in her heart: Fuyu was lucky to be born in the Shen family. If she had been born in the Cheng family, if something like that happened again, she would have been a skeleton by now.

As a result, Cheng Xiumei became more and more looking forward to marrying into the Shen family.

The third day came quickly. Mrs. Shen and Shen Qiujun were sitting in the flower hall waiting early in the morning. When they heard someone coming, mother and daughter hurriedly went out to greet them hand in hand.

She had not seen her close friend for many years, so it was inevitable to feel sad. Fortunately, Shen Qiujun and Cheng Xiumei were there to persuade and persuade them. The two of them wiped away their tears and slowly calmed down.

Only then did Shen Qiujun and Cheng Xiumei have the opportunity to meet one by one and see each other.

Mrs. Shen looked at the beautiful and polite Cheng Xiumei and felt very satisfied. She also wanted to reminisce with her friends, so she smiled at Cheng Xiumei and said: "Good boy, your mother and I haven't seen each other for nearly ten years. There are so many old and rotten sesame seeds." It's not interesting for you to talk about the things I have to say, so why not let your sister accompany you to the garden."

Shen Qiujun stepped forward and pulled Cheng Xiumei enthusiastically. The two bowed and bowed before retreating together.

Mrs. Shen looked at the two of them like flowers, and couldn't help but sigh: "You and I were so young back then, but now we are both old!"

Mrs. Cheng looked at the still graceful Mrs. Shen with envy on her face: "Although my sister is half a year older than me, she now looks more than ten years younger than me!"

Women always like to be praised for their youth, and Mrs. Shen is no exception. She is happy in her heart, but suppresses it on her face. When she wants to return the compliment, but looking at Mrs. Cheng's obviously tired face, it's hard to say those words against her will, so she He smiled and said, "My sister has endured a lot of hardships for many years. Now her children have come to fruition. She has spent a year and a half in the capital to take care of her. She must be the beauty she once was."

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "I hope it will be as my sister said."

Mrs. Cheng said this, but she felt sad in her heart. The fate of life is really out of her control.

On that day, both of them came from aristocratic families and had known each other since childhood. When they were intimate, they had talked about getting married. She was determined to find a husband who would only treat her wholeheartedly, and later she married a husband whose background was far inferior to hers.

He originally thought of using the power of his mother's family to help him achieve success, but unexpectedly, he enjoyed the help from his own family, but he didn't appreciate it in his heart. As soon as he became successful, he took in concubines and gave birth to a large number of children as if to make up for what he had missed in the past. His concubine and concubine have harmed him all his life.

Mrs. Shen, on the other hand, obediently obeyed her family's arrangements and married Lord Shen for the benefit of the family. How happy could such a marriage be?

Facts also proved everyone’s speculation.

At that time, Mrs. Shen took a fancy to Mrs. Shen's fortune, so she went to seek marriage for her son. Unexpectedly, not even a year after Mrs. Shen's marriage, Mrs. Shen passed away, and Mrs. Shen also changed from a lucky star to a broomstick. Xing was often treated harshly by her mother-in-law, and her eldest son and daughter were also taken away by her mother-in-law.

Fortunately, Mr. Shen is a good man. Although he is filial to his mother, he also loves his wife. Whenever he goes out, he takes his daughter-in-law with him, so as to separate her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
