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

Shen Sui'an's Panyun Courtyard is still kept, and maids clean it every day to make it convenient for her to rest when she returns to her parents' home.

After coming out of the upper room, Jiang insisted on walking to Panyun Courtyard with Shen Suian.

As soon as they sat down in the main room, the tea hadn't even been served yet, but Jiang had already pulled Shen Suian to persuade him.

"Don't listen to your father. Sister Yi is a troublemaker. If you let her go to the Lu family, you won't have a peaceful day."

"You don't even think about whether you are having a hard time in the Lu family, but you just want to push people to you. Your father is really blinded by greed. He only wants to pave the way for Sister Yi and doesn't think about you at all."

Listening to Jiang's scolding, Shen Sui'an felt warm in his heart.

"I won't let Shen Siyi go to the Lu family." She said affirmatively.

She could see that Shen Siyi was eyeing Lu Yuan, so why would she make things difficult for herself?

Jiang was relieved, "That's good. I was just worried that you would be soft-hearted for a moment."

She picked up the hot tea that had just been served and took a sip with satisfaction. "In fact, Xie Changyu is not bad either. If you hadn't been engaged to Lu Heng, the Xie family would have wanted to ask for you to marry him."

"What?" Shen Suian was stunned. She had no idea about this.

Jiang's expression froze. She knew she was embarrassed, so she had to explain, "This happened last year when you just came of age. Mrs. Xie came to visit and mentioned it to the old lady."

"The old lady declined at the time. She was afraid that you would be embarrassed when you saw Xie Changyu in the future, so she didn't tell you about this."

Shen Sui'an was surprised, "Why would Mrs. Xie want to propose marriage?"

When she met Mrs. Xie in other occasions, she didn't feel that Mrs. Xie treated her differently.

Jiang glanced at her and thought, "Silly girl, there must be someone who is interested in her, which is why Mrs. Xie came."

However, since we are already married, there is no need to know so much.

"Okay, you should rest early. I'll go back first." Jiang stood up.

Shen Sui'an wanted to send her off, but was stopped by Jiang, "I have a group of maids with me."

Mu Jin held Shen Suian's hand and walked up the stairs.

"Madam is now standing up, can you rest assured?" Mu Jin said with a smile.

"You can send a little maid to go to Yue Cinema to find out whether Aunt Cheng knows that Shen Siyi is going to the Lu family with me. If Aunt Cheng doesn't know, then tell her." Shen Sui'an was well aware of Aunt Cheng's ambitions.

She had been pampering Shen Siyi, treating her even more noble than herself, the eldest daughter, just for the purpose of marrying Shen Siyi off to a higher position one day, and above her.

Could Aunt Cheng allow Shen Siyi to be a concubine and always be inferior to her?

Absolutely impossible!

"We have placed our people in Yue Cinema before, so they will be able to find out the news soon." Mu Jin said.

Shen Suian looked at Mu Jin with appreciation.

But she had trouble sleeping tonight.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew Xie Changyu once wanted to propose to her, he would have probably let it go.

What she was worried about was how to warn Xie Changyu that the father and son of the Xie family would die on the battlefield.

When Lu Yuan comes back, I will find out what the grudge between him and Xie Changyu is.

I tossed and turned and didn't know when I fell asleep.

The next day I was woken up by Hibiscus.

It's already noon.

After paying her respects to Old Master Shen and the old lady, she was going to the farm.

"It's time to visit all the farms. Before, your father had people in charge of them. Now that they are back in your hands, you should go and take a look." said the old lady.

There is no difference between in Shen Jianglin's hands and in Aunt Cheng's hands.

However, Aunt Cheng could only interfere with two farms. The others were under the management of her mother's dowry. Even if Aunt Cheng wanted to, she didn't dare.

Shi Qing had already prepared a carriage, and dozens of guards were following.

"Madam, Aunt Cheng asked someone to lock the second young lady's door early in the morning." Mu Jin whispered in Shen Sui'an's ear.

Shen Sui'an curled her lips and smiled faintly. It was a pity that she had to go out to the farm, otherwise she could enjoy the chaotic day of Aunt Cheng and Shen Siyi, mother and daughter.

Aunt Cheng only heard what Shen Jianglin said in the upper room yesterday this morning, and she almost went crazy at that moment.

She just couldn't understand it. She had already explained to her daughter the pros and cons of her future, and the huge difference in status between being a wife or a concubine, but she was still stubborn. She didn't know how she could convince Shen Jianglin, and both father and daughter were making stupid moves.

"Aunt, please calm down. The second young lady was just thinking the wrong thing for a moment. You should talk to her nicely. She is still young." Shuanghua, the personal maid, advised.

Shen Siyi was forcibly brought to Yue Cinema by two old women.

Seeing Aunt Cheng breathing rapidly due to anger, Shen Siyi lowered her head guiltily.

"If I didn't stop you, would you rush to be Shen Suian's slave?" Aunt Cheng asked coldly.

Shen Siyi whispered, "My father asked me to follow her and asked her to take me out for social events."

"You are my daughter. How can you hide what you are thinking from me?" Aunt Cheng was extremely disappointed.

"What's so good about being a concubine? Are you under a spell or are you crazy?"

Shen Siyi raised her quiet and beautiful face. She looked like Aunt Cheng, with naturally fair skin like jade and a delicate and attractive face.

"I was just a step slower. If Lu Yuan loves me, he will respect me. I don't care about my status. Mother, you are also a concubine, but in the Shen family, who dares to say that you are not as good as the wife."

Aunt Cheng felt as if her heart and lungs were being stabbed by knives. "I am now confined to my room, just because I am only a concubine! No matter how favored I am, I am still a concubine, and I can never be as good as the principal wife."

"You are a girl from the Shen family. You can marry anyone and be his wife in the future. Why do you insist on being Lu Yuan's concubine? Then Lu Yuan will be interested in you." Aunt Cheng didn't want to say anything unpleasant.

It's not bad to listen to and it can't wake my daughter up.

"You are the most lowly person in the eyes of men when you rush over like this."

Shen Siyi's face turned pale instantly. She never thought that Aunt Cheng would say that she was lowly.

"A man's momentary love cannot protect you for a lifetime. You must have a decent and noble status so that others will respect and love you." Aunt Cheng closed her eyes.

"From today on, you will stay in the Moon Cinema until your father arranges a marriage for you, and then you will be released."

Shen Siyi burst into tears, "Father has already agreed. He said I can definitely take his place, and he will help me."

"You can't beat Shen Suian." Aunt Cheng said coldly.

She cursed Shen Jianglin several times in her heart.

He wanted to make Lu Yuan listen to him through Shen Suian, without considering whether he had the ability to do so.

If Shen Jianglin was a capable person, he would have been promoted by now. The old man didn't use his excellent connections on him, which clearly showed that he thought Shen Jianglin was a hopeless case.

"I will talk to your father about this."

"Come here, take the second girl away. She is not allowed to leave without my order."

Shen Siyi cried bitterly, but Aunt Cheng was not at all sympathetic.

Shen Jianglin didn't dare to try to persuade them and kept hiding in the front yard.

When Jiang learned about this, she was so happy that she ate two more bowls of rice and asked someone to rush to tell Shen Sui'an.

Alone Better Together.
