After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Except for Shen Jinyao, even Shen Zhizheng thought that Shen Jinyao really wanted to borrow money from General Xiang.

On the way back, Shen Zhizheng was still educating Shen Jinyao.

"Jin'er, do you really want to borrow money from the general?"

"General Xiang might lend us money, but Second Uncle will definitely not agree."

"Even if Second Uncle agrees, Second Aunt won't agree."

"Even my mother and Third Aunt wouldn't agree."

After all, he had heard his mother mention what the Xiang family did when they went to the Shen family to break off the engagement.

Now the two families have no relationship anymore, and Shen Maoshan has clearly told everyone not to get too close to General Xiang.

This was the order given by Shen Maoshan when Aunt Yun insisted that the eldest prince meet Shen Tingyao last time.

Although Shen Maoshan is no longer a marquis, the Shen family has long been accustomed to following his arrangements on major matters.

After all, the eldest master and the third master have absolutely no experience in this area.

Shen Jinyao was obsessed with Shen Zhizheng. Her brother was good in everything: he had a good appearance and good literary talent.

Be kind and considerate.

But I tend to talk too much about many things.

Shen Jinyao said impatiently: "Brother, if you don't tell me, no one will know, right?"

Shen Zhizheng's eyes widened as he said, "Don't you know how quickly rumors spread in the village? I guarantee they'll already know by the time we get home."

Shen Jinyao blinked and said, "You said it too, it's just a rumor. If it's just a rumor, my family members don't need to take it seriously."

"Just deny it to me no matter how hard you try, that's all."

"Of course, you can also learn to change the subject."

Shen Zhizheng opened his mouth and said, "You... who did you learn this nonsense from?"

Shen Jinyao: "Why is it so confusing? Studying doesn't just mean learning the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. There's a lot of other knowledge out there."

Shen Zhizheng had a stern face. Seeing that her elder brother wanted to teach her a lesson again, Shen Jinyao quickly pulled him home.

"Hurry, it's time to go home, or your aunt will scold you again. Don't forget, your aunt is most afraid of you chatting with the girls in the village."

When Shen Zhizheng heard this, he indeed walked faster.

He didn't dislike the girls in the village, as they all asked him about his studies.

But his mother was very opposed to this, saying that they had no good intentions.

When Shen Jinyao learned about this, she kept shaking her head.

I guess only Shen Zhizheng believes that the girls in the village will have plenty of time to study like the young men and women in the city.

So those girls discussed studying just because they wanted to have more contact with Shen Zhizheng.

Although this era was very feudal, women could also actively pursue men.

The two of them walked quickly to the Shen family yard. Just as the two siblings were about to say goodbye, they saw the second wife standing at the door.

The Second Madam's face looked very bad. Shen Jinyao knew that they must have known about the loan.

Shen Jinyao saw Le Yao, Zhixin, Lanlan and Zhiye standing at the gates of other courtyards.

Then she knew that the child must have heard those rumors while running around outside.

Shen Jinyao gave Shen Zhizheng a look, as if to say, Big brother, go ahead.

Shen Jinyao knew that her credibility in front of her mother was not as high as Shen Zhizheng's.

If Shen Zhizheng explained it directly, it would be much more effective than if Shen Jinyao said it herself.

Shen Zhizheng received Shen Jinyao's gaze, he sighed in his heart, and said: "Second aunt, why are you standing here?"

The Second Madam said with a stern face, "I just heard that Jin Yao was going to borrow money from General Xiang, is that right?"

Shen Zhizheng shook his head firmly and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, it's been a month since you came to Wuhe Village. Don't you know the situation in the village?"

"You can only believe half of what people say outside, and that half is half true and half false. Most of it is exaggerated."

The second lady thought of the rumors about Xiaojiu. People in the village had only seen Xiaojiu a few times.

They all said that Xiaojiu couldn't speak and was a mute.

He also said that the Shen family had done something bad and the consequences werefalling the child.

When the second wife heard about it, she was so angry that she wanted to go out and argue with them.

It was Shen Jinyao who stopped him.

The Shen family has asked Dr. Gao no less than a hundred times whether Xiaojiu is mute.

Dr. Gao always gave clear answers.

That is, there is nothing wrong with Xiaojiu's vocal cords. He doesn't like to cry or make sounds. Maybe he is not old enough yet.

It may also be because of the contrast with Xiao Shi that Xiao Jiu doesn't look like a baby at all.

When the second wife thought of this, she felt that Shen Zhizheng was right.

In her impression, Shen Zhizheng has never lied.

Since he said that, it must be false.

"Where's the money for that kind of land?"

Shen Maoshan's voice came from the yard. He had been standing in the yard.

Firstly, he was worried that his wife and daughter would have a quarrel over this matter, and secondly, he also wanted to persuade his daughter not to be obsessed with General Xiang.

Shen Jinyao had not told Shen Zhizheng about this issue in advance, and Shen Zhizheng looked at Shen Jinyao anxiously.

Shen Jinyao walked into the yard very calmly and said to Shen Maoshan: "Father, I borrowed this money from the village chief. I will return it to him when the time comes."

Shen Maoshan thought about it and thought that this was a possibility.

Although the village chief is a bit materialistic, he still wants to grow potatoes.

Shen Maoshan glanced at Shen Zhizheng behind him and said to Shen Jinyao seriously: "Jin'er, the Xiang family has nothing to do with our family anymore. Don't always disturb General Xiang."

Shen Jinyao nodded and said solemnly: "I understand, father."

This was the first time that Shen Maoshan spoke to Shen Jinyao about Xiang Hongxuan in the identity and tone of a father.

Shen Jinyao also felt that she could no longer use Xiang Hongxuan as a shield.

The reason she said this this time was because she knew that the village chief would give face to Xiang Hongxuan.

The villagers are even more afraid of General Xiang, so they will not have any dissatisfaction with this matter, and may even support growing potatoes.

Of course there is money in Shen Jinyao's space, but when the family was divided, Shen Jinyao had already said that there was no extra money in the Shen family account.

If she were to use the extra money to contract land to grow potatoes now, the Shen family would tear her to pieces.

But the land must be rented and potatoes must be planted.

Therefore, the money must be spent.

So we need an explanation for the origin of the silver.

So Shen Jinyao came up with an idea to hide it from both sides.

Anyway, Xiang Hongxuan owes Shen Jinyao a favor, so it doesn't matter if he takes advantage of his reputation.

Who would thank General Xiang for lending money to the Shen family?

Shen Jinyao didn't know at this time that someone actually went to thank her.

In short, after this incident, Shen Jinyao no longer used Xiang Hongxuan as a cover.

Instead, someone else was replaced.
