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

Who is the son-in-law?

When thinking about this question, the people in the second house had different expressions on their faces.

Mrs. Yun was both anxious and confused, and she hurriedly pulled the letter from Shen Zhixue's hand.

Although she is illiterate, she can still recognize simple words.

She also recognized the word "Yao" in Shen Jinyao's name.

She found Shen Jinyao's name and saw the word "big" behind it.

Big?

Whose name can be called big?

She suddenly thought of what the eldest lady said when she left just now.

She said she would have a good life from now on.

Her hands were shaking. Could it be that he was talking about the eldest prince?

"Zhixue, is your sister going to marry the eldest prince?"

Shen Zhixue was a little surprised that his mother was not confused today.

Mrs. Yun finally understood why everyone looked like that.

Back then, the eldest prince once wanted to take Shen Tingyao away.

Neither the master nor the mistress agreed, and by the time she found out, Shen Tingyao had already rejected the eldest prince.

She didn't know the details of the conversation between the two, but she only knew that Tingyao seemed like a different person since then.

Before, Shen Tingyao was a spoiled daughter of a marquis.

Every day she only knows how to dress herself up, and even when she goes out, she attends various banquets.

Her biggest worry every day is what color clothes to wear to outshine the other girls.

I have never worried about making a living.

Nowadays, Shen Tingyao is thinking about how to make money every day.

She heard that Shen Tingyao not only rejected the eldest prince as she wished, but also cheated him out of a sum of money.

She murmured to herself, "So Tingyao ran away from home because of the eldest prince?"

Then he said angrily, "She didn't tell me earlier, and made me feel guilty for a long time."

After all, the direct reason for Shen Tingyao's departure was that Madam Yun wanted to marry Shen Tingyao to the county town.

Mrs. Yun didn't think too much, and a smile appeared on her face when she thought of this.

She asked Shen Zhixue, "Did the eldest prince say how to marry your sister this time?"

If she is a concubine, it is impossible to say 'marry'.

She thought it must be a concubine.

Shen Zhixue shook his head, "The letter didn't say that."

In fact, the letter only had one sentence at the end: "The eldest prince will marry Tingyao soon. Once you receive the decree, you will depart immediately."

No one knows what exactly happened between the eldest prince and Shen Tingyao.

Shen Zhixue guessed that his father probably didn't know either.

Judging from the time, they had just arrived in Shangjing City and received the news, so they sent someone to deliver the letter.

Madam Yun clapped her hands and laughed. She hadn't been so happy for a long time.

"Haha, I've finally made it. Our Tingyao has really found a good home for herself."

Mrs. Yun's face was flushed when she smiled, and you could tell that she was really happy.

She looked at Shen Jinyao and the Second Madam with a smile and said, "Why are you doing this? Isn't this all good news? We are going back to Shangjing City, and Ting'er is getting married too."

The second wife didn’t quite understand either, but she always felt that these things were a little too good to be true.

In addition, she saw that Shen Jinyao and Shen Zhixue both looked cautious, so she wanted to stay and ask them.

In the entire second house, apart from Xiao Shi who was playing by himself without saying a word, only Madam Yun could not sit still.

Mrs. Yun asked this question without intending to wait for their response. She had to hurry and pack her things.

"Oh, you three, go ahead and talk. I don't understand either. I have to go pack my things quickly. I never thought I would be able to return to the Shen family in my lifetime."

"My daughter can even become the prince's consort..."

Mrs. Yun said this as she walked away happily.

I was so happy that I had forgotten why Shen Tingyao left at that time.

She clearly rejected the eldest prince, so why is she with him now?

What on earth did she go through during the time she was away from home?

Obviously, Madam Yun no longer cared about anything.

The second wife had no choice but to smile helplessly.

This Madam Yun has always been simple.

Tingyao also followed her.

She stood up and fed Xiao Shi some food, then asked, "Jin'er, what's going on with the three of you?"

Shen Jinyao has always been the calmest and most steady person, and she always thinks and considers carefully before doing anything.

Shen Zhixue is just like Jin Yao. Everything has to go through many twists and turns for him.

I didn't think so before. When he was in Shangjing, Zhixue basically didn't like to talk much.

In the past few years, the children have grown up and have their own opinions. Zhixue also has his own views on what he says and does.

Shen Zhixin is now concentrating on studying medicine. Perhaps because he is good at medicine, he is more rigorous than others.

She is no longer the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Now her children are more numerous and farther away than she imagined.

Shen Zhixin smiled and said, "Mother, I don't have any thoughts. I just think this happened a little unexpectedly."

Shen Zhixue nodded. "The letter isn't very clear. Father might be worried that it might fall into the wrong hands, so we should be careful."

Seeing that neither of his two younger brothers was overwhelmed by the restoration of their titles, Shen Jinyao nodded with relief.

"Mother, Zhixue and Zhixin are right. It is definitely a good thing for the Shen family to regain their title, but we still have to wait for the imperial edict for the details."

The Second Lady felt that what the children said was right. After thinking for a moment, she said, "So, what do you think? Should we still pack up?"

Shen Jinyao: "We must clean up, but we still have to do it in a low-key manner. We can't be ready before the imperial edict comes down."

"It's better to leave things unpacked."

Shen Maoshan's letter was vague, so they had no choice but to act with caution.

The Second Madam nodded and said, "I'll go talk to the First and Second Houses and ask them to keep a low profile."

……

After seeing off the second lady, Shen Jinyao urged Shen Zhixue and Shen Zhixin to leave.

Shen Zhixin originally wanted to stay for a while, but he didn't expect to hear Gao Qinlan's voice calling for him outside the door.

"coming."

Shen Zhixin glanced at his eldest sister and third brother and said, "I'll go prepare some things I'll need for the journey."

As for what.

Everyone knows it.

Of course, there are all kinds of medicines, those for curing diseases, making people sick, poisoning, and saving lives.

Shen Zhixue picked up the letter and began to read it. From just a few words, he could tell that the writer was a little anxious.

What is my father so anxious about?

Shen Zhixue saw Shen Jinyao was thinking about something.

"Sister, why did the emperor do this?"

The emperor must have made some preparations for these people returning to the capital this time.

Didn't the Emperor say he was terminally ill? What good would it do for the Emperor to restore the Shen family's title at this critical moment?

What is the attitude of the third prince?

Now the emperor is doing nothing, just claiming to be sick and not even appointing a crown prince.

In the past few years, natural disasters have occurred frequently. The emperor has ignored the people of the world and only wanted to punish his sons who wanted to be the crown prince.

Isn’t the Shen family the victim of this battle for the crown prince?

Now we have to restore the status of the Shen family.

Does this mean that the emperor wants to establish the third prince?

No, what about the marriage between the eldest prince and Shen Tingyao?
