Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Marquis' Mansion, the next day, at the hour of Mao.

At dawn, Shen Shen heard the clear chirping of birds in a trance. She had slept very restlessly the whole night before.

One day, I dreamed of Shen Chenxiang: "You are not my second sister, get out of the mansion." Another day, I dreamed of Zhu Yanxiao: "Haha, this prince didn't know that Second Miss Shen is so fickle, how can we discuss cooperation?" Another day, I dreamed of Mu Yejun's blurry face and cold voice saying: "Second Miss Shen, don't you know what kind of banana you are, you actually want to marry into the mansion of Duke Mu." Finally, I dreamed of Shen Caizi, who was not like a lady from a noble family at ordinary times, but had a ferocious face: "You monster, you killed my second sister, I will kill you." After that, she stretched out her long blood-red nails and pinched Shen Shenshen's neck tightly.

"Ah!" Shen Shenshen woke up immediately, and then was covered in cold sweat, which directly soaked her underwear and underwear. Lu Hen, who was sleeping in the outer room, heard the noise and immediately got up and came to the bedside worriedly: "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I had a nightmare. Green Trace, what time is it now?"

Lu Hen looked up at the water leak not far away and said, "At 1:00 a.m., you can get up, wash up, and go pay your respects to the old lady."

Shen Shen got up tiredly, washed up simply, and arrived at the main courtyard at 12:30 a.m. with two huge dark circles under his eyes and green marks. Mrs. Shen, who was still stunning, was shocked when she saw Shen Shen's condition: "Shen'er, are you sick? Why do you look so bad?"

She had inherited the advantage of the Hou Furen's fair skin, and now her dark circles under her eyes looked even more fragrant: "It's okay, mother. I didn't sleep well last night. After paying respects to grandma, I will go back and rest."

Mrs. Shen looked at her worriedly for a few times. Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang also arrived at this time. They were both shocked when they saw Shen Shenshen's heavy dark circles and extremely poor mental state.

Shen Chenxiang blinked her eyes and reminded her: "Second sister, don't forget the appointment at 2:45 pm today."

"Xien, I won't forget what we agreed on."

Shen Caizi looked at her sister's face and said worriedly, "Second sister, are you sure everything is alright?"

Shen Shenshen forced a smile with two big dark circles under his eyes: "Elder sister, I just didn't get enough rest last night. I will just catch up on some sleep later."

Mrs. Shen was worried: "Shen'er, go back to the yard and rest. Mother will go to explain to grandma."

"It's okay, mother. I'm really fine. It's more important to see grandma."

Seeing her insistence, no one tried to persuade her, and when everyone in each courtyard had gathered, they walked towards Daishan Courtyard together. As the sky gradually brightened, the aunt and others saw the dark circles under Shen Shenshen's eyes, and even the calm and composed aunt Li couldn't help but look at Shen Shenshen several times.

Daishan Courtyard. Today, Shen Shenshen is the conspicuous bag.

Seeing her appearance, everyone from Aunt Gui to the old lady was shocked and asked her again and again if she was sick.

After explaining it countless times, Shen Shen couldn't help but complain in his heart: Isn't it true that everyone has insomnia? Why do you act like you've seen a ghost when you see me? I just stayed up all night, why are you making such a fuss? !

Last night, Anbo Hou Shen Qingming went to Daishan Courtyard and told the old lady that Shen Shen wanted to meet Mu Yejun first. The old lady was not satisfied. Why did she meet a stranger? She wanted to have a good talk with the second granddaughter when she paid respects today, and directly get engaged to the Mu family instead of going through all the trouble of meeting. As a result, when she saw Shen Shenshen in a very bad state and looked sick, the old lady suddenly lost interest and ended the greetings early and dismissed everyone.

Shen Shen himself didn't know that the nightmare last night was a blessing in disguise. After the master and servant said goodbye to their mother in the main courtyard, they returned to the Qinghua Cottage. Shen Shen felt that his head was heavy and his mind was a mess.

"Luhen, go to the courtyard and tell them that I need to rest now. Ask the maids to move the cleaning and other things after I get up so as not to disturb my peace."

"I understand. Miss, breakfast..."

"Not for now." She suddenly remembered something and said, "Also go and tell the guards at the gate that except for my grandmother, father, and mother who came to look for me, all the others, including my eldest sister or any maids or aunts, are gone. If they are allowed in and disturb my sweet dreams, they will no longer be allowed to stay in this courtyard."

"Yes. I'll give the order right away." As she replied, she helped Shen Shen to undress her hair, take off her outer shirt, and change into her underwear.

Shen Shenshen, who was relaxed, got into the quilt and sighed comfortably. He said to Lu Hen, who was about to leave after packing his clothes, "After you arrange these, you can go and have a rest. You don't have to wait by my side. I need to rest for at least two hours."

"Yes." Luhen bowed and retreated.

Shen Shenshen lay on the bed with heavy eyelids staring at the ceiling in a daze. I'm going to see Shen Chenxiang this afternoon. Should I make up a lie or tell the truth? Forget it, forget it. I can't think about these troubles. I can't sleep if I think about them. She turned over, relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

She was first awakened by a few clear bird calls, and then she smelled the faint fragrance of the osmanthus tree in full bloom in the yard, and she slowly woke up. After a good sleep, she felt like she had taken a soul-resurrecting pill and was fully revived.

Lv Hen, who had been waiting outside the house, heard the noise inside. She entered the house quietly and saw the young lady getting up and changing into her clothes, so she hurried forward to help. After everything was tidy, Shen Shenshen asked Lv Hen to serve lunch. It was still simple and small, with one meat and one vegetable.

The wind was a bit strong today and the weather was a little chilly. After Shen Shen finished his meal and drank his tea, he saw that it was almost time, so he put on a thin shawl over his shoulders, and the master and servant walked towards Mu Cheng Courtyard, one in front and one behind.

2:00 pm, Mucheng Courtyard. Main house hall.

Shen Chenxiang and Shen Caizi sat on one side, and Shen Shenshen sat on the other side. This was Shen Chenxiang's deliberate arrangement: "Second sister, you can only sit opposite me and my eldest sister, so that we can clearly see your expression and infer whether you are lying or not."

You kid, you have more tricks than lotus root nodes. Shen Shen was annoyed by the smart and self-righteous kid at this moment.

After the personal maid Zhen'er presented the master's treasured tea and the snacks that the small kitchen had prepared in advance, Shen Chenxiang said, "Go down. Let Hemao guard the door. No one can enter the house without my order, not even my father."

"Yes, son."

Shen Chenxiang looked at the girl sitting opposite him with a calm and steady expression, an expression that did not match his age at all.

"Second sister, the tea you drank today was the Bi Luo Chun Ya tea given to father by the palace. It is said that only ten kilograms are produced each year. His Majesty is reluctant to drink it, so it is specially used to reward ministers to show the emperor's grace. Because I am an excellent student, I finally asked my father for a little bit. I got it by my own ability. The snack is the walnut tangerine peel honey cake made according to your preferences yesterday. You don't like sweets, so I specifically asked the kitchen to cook a small amount of honey to enhance the flavor."

"Xi'en has fulfilled his promise yesterday. So..." Shen Chenxiang paused and continued.

"Shen Shen, can you tell us your secret now?"
