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

By the time everyone was settled, the firewood had been lit.

The eldest lady was very skillful and she asked a few maids to make some straw mats.

Nanny Li found some old cloth and simply spread it on the straw mat.

Shen Jinyao looked around and saw that some people had already lain down and were fast asleep.

What surprised her was that Shen Tingyao fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

However, when she saw two layers of her clothes under Shen Tingyao, she couldn't help but smile.

This person.

I don’t know when I can let go of my image as the most beautiful lady from a noble family.

The men slept outside, and Mrs. Shen carefully led people to set up the curtain in the middle.

Before this, men and women would not stay in the same room even if there were curtains.

But after the old lady's lecture and Shen Jinyao's disguise as a man, everyone started to become more relaxed.

The night watchman slept at the door.

Shen Jinyao looked around but couldn't find Mrs. Shen.

She walked out of the dilapidated temple.

I saw Mrs. Shen not far away, looking at the night sky alone, as if she was thinking about something.

"Mother?"

Mrs. Shen heard Shen Jinyao's voice and looked back.

"Jin'er."

Shen Jinyao walked to Mrs. Shen's side and supported her with both hands.

"Why isn't mother resting yet?"

Madam Shen patted Shen Jinyao's hand and said, "Jin'er, I can't sleep."

"What's wrong, mother?"

"I'm just a little worried about your father, hey."

Mrs. Shen sighed heavily after she finished speaking.

I don’t know if the master and his men can reach the place of exile smoothly.

"Father is a marquis going into exile after all. If something happens before he reaches the place of exile, those yamen runners will also be held responsible."

"So, mother, don't worry. As long as father can hold on, his life will be fine."

"Think positively, there are people protecting us along the way, and father and the others will be fine."

Mrs. Shen smiled and touched Shen Jinyao's hand.

She said, "Jin'er, you are different now."

Shen Jinyao didn't show it on her face, but she heard her ask, "Mother, what do you think is different about your daughter?"

Madam Shen: "I didn't know before that our Jin'er is so capable. She looks like the mistress of a household, speaking and doing things in an organized and decisive manner."

"It's just that you've suffered so much. You've been recuperating for the past few years. After finally recovering, you haven't had a single good day before your family was exiled..."

As Mrs. Shen spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"Mother just hopes that you, your brother Zhixin, and your father, the three of you can live in peace. Now, one of you has lost contact, and you have to take charge of the family, and Zhixin is still young."

Shen Jinyao looked at Mrs. Shen's condition and felt a little worried.

Mrs. Shen is a strong-willed person. She was also an extremely capable person in the Rong family before. Later, she married into the Shen family and was entrusted with important tasks by Mrs. Shen.

During the years that Mrs. Shen was in charge, there were frictions in the family, but there had never been any major conflicts.

From the servants to the masters of the Shen family, no one was dissatisfied with Madam Shen.

Mrs. Shen is also good at managing the family business and presiding over the affairs of the entire mansion.

Every day when she opens her eyes, many people come to her to report on their work.

Before going to bed, I think about what I haven’t finished today and what I need to do tomorrow.

She knew almost everything about the affairs of the mansion, big and small, and the personalities of important figures.

Originally, the theft in her home was a major blow to her.

Not to mention that her entire family was exiled, she went from being so busy to being overwhelmed in an instant.

It was because of this that Shen Jinyao was worried about Mrs. Shen.

I am worried that she will become depressed. If it is serious, she may suffer from depression, or if it is mild, it will affect her daily mood.

"Sometimes I wonder, are you really my daughter Jin'er?"

Shen Jinyao held her forehead, wondering why we were talking about this again.

"Mother, please stop imagining things. Of course I am your daughter. Before, I was always sick and I didn't have the energy to talk to you."

"Mother, you may not know this, but back then I loved reading all sorts of books. My thoughts were all sorts of strange, and my state of mind gradually changed."

"If it weren't for those books, I wouldn't have been able to persevere. I remember one book saying that when you encounter setbacks, you become a different person."

"Maybe this is what Mother meant. I've become different. If Mother observes carefully, everyone must be different."

Mrs. Shen thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

After all, after the Shen family fell, she was no longer the same as before.

Even Old Madam Shen became silent and taciturn.

The boys no longer live a life of luxury.

Shen Tingyao even said that she didn't accept this and disliked that, but she was the one who did it the fastest.

Shen Jinyao saw Mrs. Shen nod slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

She took everything she said seriously, but her previous work and life experiences told her that she was right.

Some changes and setbacks in life can change a person.

There are good and bad.

She hopes that everyone in the Shen family will have good changes.

"Also, does Mother feel at a loss as to what to do? After all, you have always been the housekeeper?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up and she nodded at Shen Jinyao.

"That's it, I don't know what to do, what I can do."

Shen Jinyao: "Mother, there are many things you can do."

"I remember you cooked delicious food before. We will eat on the road in the future. You can take them with you to make delicious food for our team."

"If you don't want to cook, you can take everyone to pick fruits, or..."

Mrs. Shen happily interrupted Shen Jinyao and said, "No need for anything else, I can cook."

When she was at her mother's house, her favorite thing to do was to study food.

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Okay, from now on, let mother cook our meals, and you can study it slowly."

She thought of something and continued, "Not only do we need you for cooking, but Zhixin and I need you too."

Mrs. Shen asked in confusion: "Do you need me?"

Shen Jinyao: "Yes."

"Mother, who do you think understands these people best in this family? Who can best mediate conflicts among them?"

Mrs. Shen asked in a daze, "Who is it?"

"It's you, mother. You've been in charge of the Shen family for so many years, so you must know everyone best."

"This way you can help me solve a lot of problems. When I can't handle them, that's when my mother will come into play."

Mrs. Shen didn't quite agree. After all, she saw that Shen Jinyao handled it well on her own.

But she still said, "Okay, mother will definitely help you."

Shen Jinyao continued, "And Zhixin, he's still young and needs more care from his mother."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "You two siblings are indeed not familiar with each other, leave this matter to me."

Shen Jinyao said this as she pulled Madam Shen back to the dilapidated temple.

Unexpectedly, she asked again: "Hey, Jinyao, why is it that our house was robbed, but there was no movement at all?"
