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

"Sixth Aunt, do you still remember me?"

"Yes, I am the eldest daughter of the Shen family who used to live in Dr. Gao's house."

"Are you talking about Ergou? He found his relatives and is living a good life now."

"Dr. Gao? I didn't see him. I don't know where he went."

"Oh, you mean my mother? She gave birth."

"Yeah, a boy was born."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"My grandmother?"

……

At the entrance of Changshou Village, a girl and a young man who were unfamiliar to her were surrounded by relatives from Changshou Village.

Shen Jinyao looked at a few familiar aunts and ladies and started chatting with them.

Who would have thought that the villagers of Changshou Village still remembered the Shen family.

Shen Jinyao herself is not actually a quiet person, she just doesn't like to be too lively.

So when Shen Jinyao, wearing women's clothes that she had gotten from nowhere, stood at the entrance of Changshou Village and chatted enthusiastically with a group of aunts and grandmas, Xiang Hongxuan who was standing next to her was very surprised.

But now Xiang Hongxuan was also wearing light blue gentleman's clothes and standing next to Shen Jinyao.

The aunties and grandmas looked at me again and again.

Just when Xiang Hongxuan felt very uncomfortable, he heard the woman standing next to him become quiet.

Xiang Hongxuan lowered his head and glanced at Shen Jinyao beside him.

It was the first time he saw Shen Jinyao so enthusiastic and talking so much.

He still felt a little uncomfortable.

Who knew that after talking for a while, they suddenly became quiet.

This surprised him even more.

He whispered, "What's wrong?"

Do you feel that there is something wrong with the longevity village?

Unexpectedly, when Shen Jinyao heard Xiang Hongxuan's question, she just shook her head slightly.

Then Shen Jinyao said softly, "My grandmother has passed away."

When the aunties and grandmas at the village entrance heard this, they all felt sorry for him.

They looked at each other with regret.

Both Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan noticed it, but neither of them said anything.

Aunt Six comforted Shen Jinyao for a few words, then asked, "I wonder, Miss Shen, what brings you to Changshou Village today?"

Shen Jinyao lowered her head slightly and said, "After grandma passed away, the whole family settled down in Yanzhou."

"I felt a little tired from traveling today, and there was no place to rest nearby, so I thought of our Changshou Village."

"I wonder if there's any place in the village where we can rest."

Sixth Aunt glanced at the other aunts, then smiled and said, "There should be a place... but the world has been a bit chaotic lately, so I'll have to ask the village chief."

Aunt Six glanced at the young man who had been standing behind Shen Jinyao.

The young man was tall and had no expression on his face.

But his face was not much worse than that of a girl.

But he is not a pale-faced scholar. He looks like a martial artist or someone who often works outside in the wind and rain.

Others also noticed this, and someone asked Shen Jinyao, "Who is this..."

Shen Jinyao smiled slightly and said, "This is my cousin."

When Xiang Hongxuan heard this, he paused.

But he didn't say anything in the end, just stood behind Shen Jinyao as a background.

The people in Changshou Village thought Shen Jinyao would continue talking, but Shen Jinyao only said that they were cousins and stopped talking.

In ancient times, the relationship between cousins was inherently ambiguous.

Even in Kyushu, there is no rule that prohibits close relatives from marrying.

So the aunts in Changshou Village looked at Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan with ambiguous eyes.

There were about a dozen people including Sixth Aunt, who surrounded Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan at the entrance of the village.

There was no intention of letting the two of them in.

Not far from the village entrance, there were some men sitting and chatting.

Shen Jinyao observed and found that although they were not looking at Shen Jinyao and the others, they were listening to the movements at the village entrance.

This made Shen Jinyao curious about what Changshou Village was like now.

After a while, just when Shen Jinyao felt that she was about to run out of words, she saw a young man running over.

The man called Aunt Liu over and they talked for a few words.

Aunt Six then turned to Shen Jinyao and said, "Miss Shen, you came at a really bad time. There is no place to live in the village now."

Shen Jinyao immediately showed an embarrassment on her face, and then she said: "That's really unfortunate. We came from Shangjing and didn't rest on the whole way..."

Someone asked, “Where do you say you are from?”

Shen Jinyao said innocently, "Auntie, my cousin and I came from Shangjing..."

At this time, everyone remembered that they had speculated that the Shen family might be a wealthy family from Shangjing.

The lady cleared her cough to conceal her previous tone.

She continued, "In that case, then you can live in the empty house next to mine."

Aunt Liu wanted to say something, but the old lady stopped her with her hand.

Shen Jinyao blinked and pretended not to understand anything.

"Really, Auntie? I won't bother you, will I?"

The old lady smiled and said, "No, it's just that no one has lived in that house for a long time, so I might have to inconvenience you two."

Shen Jinyao bowed to the old lady and said, "Thank you very much, old lady. As long as we have a place to rest, it's already very good."

At this moment, the villagers who were originally surrounding Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan instantly dispersed.

Auntie and Sixth Aunt took Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan into Changshou Village.

The entrance of Changshou Village is some distance away from the villagers' courtyards.

When the Shen family arrived at Changshou Village, it took them a while to get there even by horse-drawn carriage.

In order to keep a low profile, Xiang Hongxuan did not ride a horse.

Shen Jinyao insisted on riding her horse.

Xiang Hongxuan originally wanted to scold Shen Jinyao for being ignorant, but in the end he said nothing.

I could only accept my fate and lead the horse for Shen Jinyao.

As they were talking, Shen Jinyao, Aunt Six and others walked to the house that the old lady mentioned.

Along the way, Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan were paying attention to any abnormalities in Changshou Village.

The house they lived in was actually at the innermost part of Changshou Village.

"Auntie, Sixth Auntie, thank you."

As Shen Jinyao spoke, she took out a wad of money from her sleeve and gave it to the two of them.

"Jinyao, I'm sorry to bother you. These are just some of my thanks."

Sixth Aunt and the aunt looked at each other, and did not refuse Shen Jinyao, but directly took the money.

“Oh, Miss Shen, you’re welcome. You won’t be far away in the future, so you can come to the village more often.”

Shen Jinyao smiled and agreed, then sent the two away.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death."

Wait until Shen Jinyao closes the door and returns to the house.

I was startled by the figure in the dark at the door.

Xiang Hongxuan walked out from the shadows, his arms folded as he looked at Shen Jinyao.

He snorted coldly, "Hmph, a thief's guilty conscience."
