The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Helan Duoduo looked at the "Nine Questions Pill" and curled his fingertips slightly.

Her lips were trembling.

Ask one question and knock nine times, and you will find the truth.

She wanted to know—

Did they ever treat her as a family member?

Even if it's just for a moment.

"I……"

Helan Duoduo's voice was very hoarse, but he still spoke with difficulty.

"Ning'er..."

"I choose... 'Nine Questions Pill'."

Shen Runing nodded, without saying much, and handed the medicine to Helan Duoduo.

"it is good."

Then he raised his hand to tidy up Helan Duoduo's hair.

"Remember, no matter how they answer, the initiative is in your hands."

"Your life is in your hands."

Helan Duoduo slowly stood up and carefully put the "Nine Questions Pill" into his sleeves with both hands.

He looked at Shen Runing deeply.

"Ning'er, thank you..."

"I……"

"Ning'er, I'm going back first..."

"I...make some preparations..."

Shen Runing didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.

"Go."

Helan Duoduo walked out of the room, his back looking a little tired but determined.

——That is the back view of a person who "finally lives for himself".

-

On the morning of the second day, the Shen Mansion was bustling with activity.

The sounds of gongs, horse hooves, and shouts came one after another.

Cart after car of gifts almost blocked the entrance of the Shen Mansion.

Some powerful people, famous families, and important officials, as if they had made an appointment, all sent gifts to the Shen Mansion.

Each one was more imposing and exaggerated than the other, as if they wanted to stuff themselves into the gift box and send it over right there.

It was as if as long as one gave enough, early enough, and valuable enough gifts, one would be able to have a little blood connection with the name "Shen Runing"—

Everyone wants to be Shen Runing's in-laws.

After all, everyone in Kyoto knows that the Regent dotes on her so much that he would support her even if the sky falls.

Being related to Shen Runing means gaining more face in the court and being more prominent in the Beijing circle.

People from all over the streets and alleys gathered at the gate of the Shen Mansion early to watch the excitement. There were crowds of people, and some children even stood on their fathers' shoulders to watch the unprecedented scene.

"I'm coming!"

"Which one is it this time?!"

The doorman straightened his back, took a breath, and shouted with full strength.

"——Du Dazaifu!!"

The crowd fell silent.

Then a louder shout rang out.

"A nine-nine-nine-nine-jin golden statue of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin!"

"lift--!"

Twenty strong servants were seen bare-chested, shouting as they slowly carried the statue of Guanyin, which was taller than a man, covered in gold and surrounded by thousands of hands, into the gate of the Shen Mansion.

In the sunlight, the golden statue almost blinded the onlookers.

"My goodness!"

"Isn't this the statue from the Taimiao back then..."

"Now it has become Miss Shen's dowry?!"

The people were all dumbfounded.

Just as everyone was exclaiming in amazement, a light female voice rang out.

"cousin!!!"

The crowd automatically made way, and two figures walked into the mansion.

It was Du Wenzhe and Du Wenyu.

When Shen Runing saw this, he smiled and walked quickly towards him.

"Yoona, long time no see!"

The two sisters grasped each other's hands, and with smiles as sweet as falling flowers in the wind, they went into the courtyard and sat down to talk, their friendship remaining undiminished.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen stood in front of the Guanyin statue with their mouths slightly open, completely unable to speak.

"This... this is too expensive!"

Mr. Shen's voice changed and he waved his hands quickly.

"Is this Lord Dazai planning to empty the treasury?"

Du Wenze was gentle and polite. He bowed respectfully to Mr. Shen and replied with a smile,

"Grandpa loves his granddaughter the most. He has prepared this golden statue a long time ago, just waiting for my cousin to get married."

As he spoke, he sighed and his tone was mischievous.

"Ah...I, your grandson, don't even get this kind of treatment!"

Du Wenyun glared at him immediately.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go back and complain!"

"Come here and take out your banknote! We agreed on this yesterday!"

Du Wenzhe walked over with a smile and took out an astonishingly thick stack of silver bills from his sleeve.

Du Wenyun was not to be outdone. He took it swiftly, then pulled out another stack from his sleeve and slammed it on the table, looking like a "nouveau riche".

"Cousin, I know you're not short of money, but this isn't a banknote."

"It's a gift from my brother and I."

“You can’t say no.”

"We both emptied out all our private savings!"

"So! Cousin! You must be happy!"

Shen Runing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Du Wenyun's playful expression that said "I'm so awesome".

A hint of warmth suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In the previous life, even though the world had turned upside down, many people were arrogant at first but humble later, and fickle, this cousin with a sharp tongue but a soft heart never changed.

On the surface, he called her a fool, but secretly, he asked for favors and arranged things for her...

Now that I have a new life, being able to sit in the courtyard in such a lively atmosphere and listening to her say "I hope you will be happy" really feels like a dream.

Shen Runing suddenly became serious, his brows furrowed.

"it is good!"

"I accept Yuner and Zeer's kindness!"

"If Luo Mian bullies me in the future, I will go to you for support!"

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Du Wenyun was just full of himself, but now he immediately scratched his head and his eyes began to wander.

"Also...it's ok to support...but..."

she whispered.

"I probably can't beat him."

Shen Runing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Du Wenyun immediately straightened his back.

"But I'm a big talker! I...I, I'll scold him like a bastard!"

Shen Runing laughed even more happily.

"This is quite consistent with your fighting style, Yoona."

Du Wenzhe on the side had already laughed out loud, but when he thought of Luo Mian's murderous look that kept strangers away, he couldn't help but shudder.

He coughed, gathered his sleeves and spoke seriously.

"I have known the Regent for many years. He will not treat you badly."

——Having said that, he added silently in his heart.

After all, the Regent has a terrible temper. He gives you all his tenderness, and gives all his cruelty to others...

As he was speaking, a loud shout was heard from the doorman outside the courtyard.

"Cao Mingzhe of Sanchuan Town——"

"A hundred-year-old red sandalwood makeup box, containing one hundred pairs of night-shining pearls, phoenix feather hairpins, and gold ingots for the treasury!"

"lift--"

Shen Runing was stunned after hearing this.

Sanchuan Town?

Cao Mingzhe?

who is it?
