Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

traitor?

Seeing that there was some gloom between his brows, Shen Li did not ask any further questions. Men, after all, are more or less concerned about their reputation. Apart from the traitor around them, they certainly don't want others to know too much.

He nodded and held out his fist, "It's good that it's solved. If it's not solved, I can help you."

Pei Yu stretched out his big hand and wrapped her fist, "Ali, thank you."

"Why are you so weird? Why are you thanking me?"

Pei Yu stared at Shen Li's brain and said seriously: "Thank you for saving me, and thank you for falling in love with me."

Shen Li laughed and held his hand back, "Ayu, we are getting married soon, so you don't need to thank me for these. Just treat me better in the future."

Pei Yu: "Well, from now on, Ah Li is everything to me."

Shen Li gave him a gentle smile.

The two of them were being affectionate with each other, while the others were behind them, not even looking over here.

The Shen family did not disturb them. The betrothal gifts had already been counted and the wedding would be taking place soon. It would be good for the engaged couple to have a good relationship.

At the same time, in a small inn in the west, this was the destination for Shen Yuanzhou and his two companions. They came here to accept a mission and had been here for more than a month, but they still had no clue.

"Is there a guest named Shen here?"

A dusty messenger came to the inn. Shen Yuanzhou happened to be lying on the table. Hearing this, he replied, "Where did this letter come from?"

What did the messenger send to Shen Yuanzhou? "My dear hero, is your surname Shen?"

"Well, was the letter sent from Qingxi County?"

"Yes, they said it was handed over to a man named Shen Yuanzhou. Is that you?"

Shen Yuanzhou suddenly perked up, "It's me."

Then he took the letter from the messenger and said, "Thank you very much. Did you give me the money?"

"I have already given it to you. Now that the letter has been delivered, I will not bother you any more."

"Well, thank you."

After taking the letter, Shen Yuanzhou hurried back to his room and slammed the door shut, isolating Ji Liu and Wen San from the room.

"Is this a letter from his family?"

Wen San glanced at him, as if he was looking at an idiot, "What else? Could it be that he has a lover outside?"

Ji Liu immediately became alert, "Hey, you said that, I didn't say that."

The result was a big eye roll from Wen San.

Shen Yuanzhou opened the letter and his eyes fell on the signature at the end. It turned out to be written by Ali, so he started reading from the beginning.

I still feel a little sad after watching it. My younger sister is getting married!

Well, she's getting married, so does he have to prepare gifts?

He immediately started thinking about what to prepare.

……

After Shen Changshan received the imperial edict from Shen Li, he was placed in the ancestral hall of the Zhennan General's Mansion.

There were only two empty spirit tablets in the ancestral hall, which were for Shen Changshan’s grandfather and grandmother. As for his parents, he said he didn’t know their whereabouts yet.

Prince of Yan's Mansion

Shen Jiaojiao sat in the garden. The weather was not too cold yet, and it was the most comfortable time. She had been sitting here for an hour. Finally, a person came from the other end of the path.

"Your Majesty?"

Xie Yunche stopped and frowned, "Jiaojiao, what do you want? I still have to go to the princess' place for dinner."

Shen Jiaojiao choked when she understood the meaning of his words and almost forgot what she was about to say.

"Your Highness, as you know, Jiaojiao's only relatives in the capital are my eldest brother and his family. I want to know how they are doing."

In fact, this was just her excuse. Since Xie Yunche got married, he hadn't come to see her for a long time.

No, to be precise, he never came to see me again after he got drunk that time.

Xie Yunche pursed his lips and said nothing. Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head, her eyes flickered, and when she looked up, her eyes were already filled with tears.

"Your Highness, you know that Jiaojiao has no family relationship to speak of, and you are busy. You haven't visited Jiaojiao for more than two months."

Having said that, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"But what did Jiaojiao do wrong?"

Just as Xie Yunche was about to speak, he saw the princess approaching.

"How did you come?"

He Xinyi glanced at Shen Jiaojiao and said with a smile, "I saw that you hadn't left yet and was worried that the food would get cold, so I came to look for you, but I didn't expect that you were talking with Concubine Shen here."

Hearing her call herself Concubine Shen, Shen Jiaojiao almost held back her vomiting of blood.

Originally, he was treated very well in Prince Yan's Mansion. However, after the princess married him, she forcibly reduced her status to that of a concubine. From then on, his treatment was completely different.

Shen Jiaojiao knelt down and saluted to Princess Yan, "Princess, it's all my fault. I disturbed your meal with the prince. This is called retreat."

When he stood up, he glanced at Xie Yunche inadvertently, his eyes full of sadness.

Xie Yunche was dazed by his glance. He Xinyi noticed this change and took his hand and said, "My Lord, have you not visited Concubine Shen for a long time?"

"Ah."

"Just now, I saw you two talking from a distance. What were you talking about?"

Xie Yunche shook his head, "She didn't say anything. She asked about his family."

"Oh," He Xinyi asked, "Does Concubine Shen have any family here? I thought she was alone."

After thinking about it, he realized that he had indeed not told the princess that Princess Hui'an was Jiaojiao's family member.

So he said, "Princess Hui'an is Jiaojiao's niece. They got separated when they were fleeing from famine."

"I see."

After hearing this, He Xinyi was panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and changed the subject with a smile.

"Your Majesty, let's go and eat first. I have asked someone to prepare your favorite food today."

"Thank you for your hard work, Princess."

Xie Yunche originally thought that after marriage, the princess would be very strict with him, so he had always resisted starting a family.

Unexpectedly, after He Xinyi got married, not only did she ignore him, she would sometimes even speak well of him to her eldest brother. Life was much better than before.

Shen Li sat in the room, looking at Lin Cuicui helplessly, "Mom, do I have to embroider it?"

Early this morning, Lin Cuicui brought a piece of red cloth to Shen Li to embroider a red veil. Within half an hour, all ten of her fingers were covered with needle holes.

Lin Cuicui was helpless when she saw her daughter's appearance. "It's better to embroider it yourself, so that you and Zi'an will have a happy life in the future."

Shen Li put down the cloth and pulled Lin Cuicui, "Mother, whether your life is good or not depends on how you manage it as a couple, how can you rely on that!"

"Also, look, your daughter's hands are in this state. Can you still bear it?"

Lin Cuicui took the ointment beside her and applied it on her. "Okay, then I won't embroider it. If Zi'an knew about it, he would probably blame mother."
