If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Since marrying Shen Jianglin, Jiang has never felt as comfortable as she has in the past few days.

Aunt Cheng was forced to be confined by the old lady. Even though Shen Jianglin begged her several times, he failed to get the old lady to give in. Instead, he angered the old master.

In front of Jiang, the old man scolded Shen Jianglin harshly.

"As an official appointed by the court, you are not upright, you are unfair, you favor your concubine and ignore your wife. Because of our relationship as father and son, I have covered up for you for many years. Now I am old. If you are not afraid of being impeached by the censors, you can just protect your concubine."

"You won't be able to keep your official hat by then, and you won't be able to save Cheng's life either."

Shen Jianglin had never been scolded so harshly by the old man before, and his face turned pale and blue.

Of course, he was more afraid of losing his official position.

The censors in the Censorate hated officials who favored concubines and killed their wives. They did not dare to point at the emperor and scold him for favoring Concubine Yao, but they could vent their dissatisfaction on the court officials.

Shen Jianglin left the upper room in dejection.

Jiang was in a good mood. She ate well and slept well for several days, and her complexion became rosy.

Shen Sui'an listened to Jiang's vivid description with great joy, feeling prouder than ever before.

"And that Shen Siyi, I don't know what's wrong with her lately. She said she would never get married in this life, and even told your father not to find a husband for her." Jiang rolled her eyes and had a hard time describing Shen Siyi, the concubine's daughter.

"As for Shen Mingyao, the old man sent him to the clan school and replaced his followers, so he only went home for two days a month."

A smile appeared in Shen Sui'an's eyes, "Madam can now rest assured and take care of the baby."

Jiang said, "Brother Yao has been raised crooked. He cursed me in front of everyone that day and said that the Shen family can only have him as a boy. Humph, Cheng raised him with such ambition."

If she were to say, the old man was too soft-hearted. Such a vicious person would be a disaster if he stayed in the house.

Shen Sui'an comforted Jiang, "Madam, don't worry about anything else now. As long as the baby is born smoothly, other things can be left for the future."

"You're right." Jiang said with a smile.

"Don't always talk about these unlucky people. Let's talk about you. Are the other members of the Lu family good to you?" The last time Jiang saw Lu Yuan defending Shen Sui'an, she knew that this son-in-law was a good one.

But what about the others? Old Madam Lu and Mrs. Lu both like to make trouble, so there is no guarantee that they will not find ways to torture Shen Sui'an.

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. A family like the Duke's Mansion must always maintain its dignity." Shen Sui'an said.

If you feel sad because someone treats you badly, it means you are sincere. She will never be open-hearted to anyone in the Lu family again.

All we need to do is live in peace with each other and maintain respect as a family.

As for the rest, she didn't care at all.

As soon as the time comes, she will completely cut ties with the Lu family and have nothing to do with them forever.

"The most important thing is that you and your son-in-law are of the same mind, and the others are secondary." Jiang said with a smile, "Are the two concubines at home obedient?"

Jiang was worried that Lu Yuan's two concubines were too ambitious. If they were like Aunt Cheng, it would be really hard for her to live in peace.

"I can still handle it. Madam, you don't have to worry about me." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"What time is it? The old master and the old lady should get up from their lunch break. I will go to the upper room with you." Jiang said.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I came back this time, Shen Sui’an felt that the servants in the mansion seemed to be much more respectful to Jiang.

Although I didn't dare to act rashly before, I was always a little disrespectful.

It seems that because the wife is pregnant and the old man personally sent Shen Mingyao away, everyone knows that Jiang is the only mistress of the Shen family.

pretty good.

What surprised Shen Sui'an was that Old Master Shen had guests here.

It was a young man who was playing chess with the old man.

The man had fair skin and dark hair, a face as delicate as jade, and a pair of eyes that were dark and bright, filled with a warm smile.

It's Xie Changyu...

Shen Sui'an was a little dazed, wondering if Xie Changyu should be fighting at the border.

Xie Changyu had already stood up and saluted, "Mrs. Shen, Miss Suisui."

Jiang was very surprised. "So Master Xie is here. Did we disturb the old man's chess game?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's over, Sui Sui, come and play a round with Chang Yu Shou."

"Brother Xie's chess is one step ahead. It's hard for me to beat him." Shen Sui'an smiled faintly.

Yes, at that time Xie Changyu had not yet gone to the border, he was still a nobleman in Shangjing who was almost as famous as Lu Heng.

His father and brothers, a total of five people, were still guarding the border and had not yet been framed and ambushed, ending up with their family destroyed.

In the previous life, all the male members of the Xie family except Xie Changyu died in the battlefield. Xie Changyu later gave up literature and took up martial arts, and fought his way out of the border with a heart full of hatred.

Shen Sui'an heard from Jiang at that time that the death of the entire Xie family was not caused by an ambush by the enemy, but a frame-up by someone in the court.

However, until her death, she still didn't know who framed the Xie father and son.

She still remembered the gentle man who looked like jade, but when she saw him again, he looked sinister and cold, with eyes as cold as ice, so cold that it could pierce people.

There was one more thing she couldn't neglect.

Xie Changyu and Lu Yuan are like water and fire, and it is unknown where the hatred between them comes from.

She was already Lu Yuan's wife, so she had to understand what was going on.

I’m afraid that Lu Yuan’s death is related to Xie Changyu.

"Sui Sui, what's wrong?" Jiang gently pulled Shen Sui'an's sleeve.

Xie Changyu said in a gentle voice, "Miss Suisui rarely comes home, she must want to talk to the teacher, so I will take my leave first."

Old Master Shen also remembered that his granddaughter was now married. Even if he treated Xie Changyu as his own nephew, it would be inappropriate to let him play chess with Shen Sui'an.

In front of the old man and Jiang, Shen Sui'an didn't dare to ask Xie Changyu about the current situation at the border. He remembered that there was still half a year before the incident at the Xie family, and she could still find time to remind Xie Changyu.

After seeing Xie Changyu off, Shen Sui'an chatted with his grandparents about family matters. Seeing that his grandfather's complexion had improved, Shen Sui'an felt much more at ease.

Sure enough, after staying away from Lu Heng, all her misfortunes also stayed away from her.

During dinner, Shen Jianglin brought Shen Siyi to the upper room.

When he saw Shen Suian, he asked a few questions in a friendly manner.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Shen Sui'an instantly became alert.

Sure enough, Shen Jianglin quickly stated his purpose, "Father, Suisui is well-educated, dignified and elegant. Why don't you let Yijie stay with her and let Suisui teach her for a while."

"Father, last time you said that I was disobedient and unfilial." Shen Sui'an said indifferently.

It's only been a few days, how come she has become so well-educated and well-mannered.

"Sister, it was all because of misunderstanding last time." Shen Siyi explained anxiously.

"Father, Sister Yi is old enough to get married. Madam is in poor health now and cannot devote her attention to teaching Sister Yi. Suisui is her biological sister and will definitely teach her well." Shen Jianglin said in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an was very surprised. Did Shen Jianglin know what Shen Siyi was thinking?

Could he allow his precious daughter to become someone else's concubine?

Old Master Shen neither objected nor agreed, he just asked him to think about it for two days.

It was only after dinner, when Shen Jianglin left, that the old man said to Shen Sui'an, "You don't have to listen to your father. He will only cause you trouble."
