Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

When the years were peaceful in the south of the Yangtze River, the capital was a completely different scene.

The sudden death of the previous emperor had stirred up concerns among all the clan members who remained in the capital. They tried to win over powerful officials and then united to put pressure on the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother was of ordinary birth and had always been dispensable in the palace. But now she has been pushed to the forefront and is completely confused.

All in all, the capital was in chaos.

The late emperor's younger brother, King Cheng, was afraid of Jiang Yu's military power and worried that he would collude with other people who wanted to seize the throne. He simply surrounded the Jiang Mansion and detained Xu and her two children as hostages.

"The overall situation is now settled. King Cheng's succession to the throne is a foregone conclusion, and the siege of Jiang's mansion has been lifted." Sun Fanzhong explained the current situation in the capital to everyone.

No one spoke, and finally Shi Li's uncle talked about the dangerous incident that Shi Li had encountered before.

"Your cousin isn't safe here either. She almost got into trouble last time."

Sun Fanzhong didn't expect that what happened in the capital would actually involve Jiangnan. He looked at Shi Li in surprise, and Shi Li nodded at him.

From this perspective, the last attack might have been the work of some royal family member in the capital, who wanted to muddy the waters and sow discord between Jiang Yu and the royal family or the Sun family.

But there was one thing Shi Li couldn’t quite figure out. Even if she died, it wouldn’t be that important to Jiang Yu, right?

Could it be that those people in the capital were so desperate that they sent people from afar to kill her?

These are all unsolved mysteries. The new emperor has confirmed that at least the capital will not continue to be in chaos, otherwise Sun Fanzhong would not have been able to return to Jiangnan so smoothly and calmly.

The Sun family seldom participates in court affairs, but as a century-old family, they cannot be ignorant of everything. This time, Sun Fanzhong stayed in the capital to find out which direction the wind was blowing.

Now that the overall situation has been settled, everyone feels at ease.

Shi Li continued to live a fairy-like life. He learned how to manage the household and looked for trustworthy and capable people to keep by his side.

Sooner or later she would have to return to the Jiang Mansion in the capital, and she couldn't live like before with no one available around her.

It was a quiet day, and Shi Li was in the house looking through the account book given to her by Mrs. Sun.

This was a test set by Madam Sun for her to find out where the losses in the account books were so she could explain it to her when the time came.

Shi Li felt like she was back in high school, doing exercises every day. But she couldn't refuse Mrs. Sun's kindness.

I had read half of the book when the maid beside me hurried in from outside and said, "Miss, the old lady wants you to come over now."

Shi Li was a little surprised.

She would go to Old Madam Sun's place every morning and evening to sit and talk with her. Old Madam Sun wanted her to learn how to manage the household well, so she rarely called her. But today...

Unable to guess what was going on, Shi Li put down the account book and hurried out.

At the door, she happened to meet the nanny beside Old Madam Sun. The nanny took her not to the old lady's courtyard, but to the reception hall.

"Miss, General Jiang is here." The nanny reminded Shi Li halfway.

General Jiang?

Jiang Yu?

Shi Li was slightly stunned.

The new emperor was very appreciative of Jiang Yu, after all, he had won a great victory at the border. The new emperor valued him very much, rewarded him with many things, and conferred him a title.

These things were reported from the capital from time to time, but Shi Li did not expect that Jiang Yu would come here.

Walking into the hall, Shi Li saw a burly man with his back to her, talking to Old Madam Sun.

Perhaps he heard the voice, the man turned around, and he looked exactly like Jiang Yu in the original owner's memory, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he looked much more mature.

When Shi Li didn't speak, Jiang Yu moved his mouth, and the expression on his face was hard to tell whether it was guilt or heartache.

"Lili, I really wronged you."

Shi Li: ???

She didn't know why Jiang Yu suddenly came and said this, and looked at Old Madam Sun in confusion.

Because of her biological mother's death, Madam Sun had always disliked Jiang Yu, but at this moment her face had a faint smile on it, as if she was very relieved.

Shi Li was confused and could only kneel down and answer: "Father, you are too kind. My daughter is doing well."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Yu take out a bright yellow imperial edict.

Shi Li: ???

Why can this cheap daddy be so casual with imperial edicts?

Is this really an imperial decree?
