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

Everyone in the Shen family just returned home, and everything needs to be taken care of.

Even if Nanny Li rushed to buy someone, it was already evening when she returned with the maids and servants.

Seeing that it was too late, Mrs. Shen asked Nanny Li to arrange for these people to rest first and assign them to different courtyards tomorrow.

The Shen family had no objection to this.

He didn't even bother to find out about the transfer of the Shen family's power from Shen Jinyao to Madam Shen.

After all, you will know if you think about it.

In Wuhe Village, that was the last wish of the old lady of the Shen family. Under the circumstances at that time, Shen Jinyao was able to shoulder the burden of the entire family.

But things were different when I returned to Shangjing City.

Shen Jinyao is the unmarried daughter of the marquis's family.

Mrs. Shen naturally knew what was the most important thing in Shangjing City. The saying that people's words are scary was reflected vividly among the aristocratic families in Shangjing City.

They have lived in Wuhe Village for nearly five years and have long learned to take care of themselves.

What's more, there will be maids and servants serving me tomorrow, which I couldn't even dream of before.

Shen Jinyao has not rested since returning to the Shen family.

After all, it takes a long time to clean up the weeds in the Shen family.

She didn't eat much for dinner and just wanted to rest quickly.

She looked at the strange yet familiar room and thought of the day when she traveled here.

As I thought about it, I couldn't lift my eyelids.

Suddenly, Shen Jinyao's eyes widened.

She drew aside the curtain and saw a man standing in front of the table in her room.

This man actually feels familiar?

Shen Jinyao took out a dagger from the space and asked, "Who is it?"

I only heard the man sigh softly, "It's me."

Shen Jinyao was surprised that it was Xiang Hongxuan.

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although her martial arts skills are good, she still has space to save her life.

But it would be so annoying if there was an assassin on the first day back at the mansion.

"General Xiang, what does this mean? You don't leave through the main gate, you don't come during the day, and you specifically choose the night time?"

There was a hint of teasing in Shen Jinyao's voice.

Her tone was more like reminiscing with an old friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Xiang Hongxuan naturally also heard the familiarity in Shen Jinyao's tone. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

He suppressed his feelings and replied calmly: "Miss Shen, you don't know that I am no longer the general guarding the border."

He looked at Shen Jinyao in the moonlight and said, "You can call my name."

Shen Jinyao naturally thought of the news she heard from Shen Tingyao and her father, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiang Hongxuan.

She didn't know how to comfort him, nor did she know why Xiang Hongxuan came to see her.

But after all, her intuition told her that this person would not want to harm her.

So she finally gave up lighting the candle and walked towards Xiang Hongxuan.

"Okay, I understand, Xiang Hongxuan, why did you come to see me today?"

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao who suddenly approached, and his eyes changed involuntarily.

When Shen Jinyao came closer, he saw that she was only wearing her underwear.

He glanced at the window and pressed his finger hard, and heard the sound of stones falling and the window closing.

Shen Jinyao sat at the table, holding her chin and looking at Xiang Hongxuan.

She jokingly said, "Oh, I didn't expect General Xiang's martial arts skills to have reached such a level."

When Xiang Hongxuan heard Shen Jinyao's joking words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Shen Jinyao looked at the person who had been standing there and lost her patience to comfort him.

If she hadn't heard about his experience during the day and felt sorry for him, she wouldn't have said so many useless words.

Xiang Hongxuan: What's so corny about it?

"Xiang Hongxuan, you didn't come here just to close the window for me, did you?"

Why did this person become stupid after coming back?

Or is it because the blow from the emperor was too great?

Yes, Shen Jinyao thought about it. A man who had made great military achievements and led the Shen family army through life and death to protect the border, lost his official position and job after returning, and also lost his family.

Putting herself in Shen Jinyao's shoes, she also felt very aggrieved.

Xiang Hongxuan opened his mouth and said that he had not thought about what he was here to do, he just wanted to come and take a look.

Started sitting on the roof.

After seeing the lights in the room go out, he stood in front of the window.

He originally wanted to just take a look and leave.

After all, his current status does not make it suitable for him to associate with the Shen family.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the house, Shen Jinyao woke up.

He thought about saying a few words and then leaving, or just listening to her voice.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jinyao was not angry at his behavior.

Even the words I spoke to him were as close as those spoken to a good friend.

Yes, a good friend, he thought.

Swallow the bitterness in your heart.

He sat next to Shen Jinyao and said, "Are you...okay to come in?"

Shen Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Shouldn't I be asking you this?"

Xiang Hongxuan didn't know how much Shen Jinyao knew about him. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'm not doing well."

Shen Jinyao was surprised. She didn't expect that the dignified General Xiang would actually start to play the victim.

Although he was indeed miserable.

Shen Jinyao thought, maybe Xiang Hongxuan just wanted an old friend with whom he could speak his mind.

So she stopped asking questions without asking any more questions.

Instead, he continued, "Oh? Then tell me what happened?"

Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Jinyao was interested in this matter.

After all, it is still a cause for concern when a grown man suddenly enters a girl's bedroom late at night.

Xiang Hongxuan told Shen Jinyao everything that happened after they parted in Wuhe Village.

After listening to this, Shen Jinyao asked, "Are you saying that the reason the emperor imprisoned you was because you left the army without permission?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded bitterly.

"But, at that time, whether it was the Third Prince, oh, the Crown Prince. Wasn't it the Crown Prince and Pan Ye, had they already explained the situation to the Emperor?"

The situation was extremely critical.

The Qiang soldiers and the Xiang family army had already suffered heavy losses.

If both armies were fooled by the Second Prince, the Xiang army might suffer heavy casualties and might even be unable to defend the border.

If Xiang Hongxuan and the Shen family had not gone deep into the Qiang tribe and persuaded the Qiang royal family, how could the Quzhou border be so stable?

Shen Jinyao only heard Shen Tingyao say that Xiang Hongxuan had offended the emperor.

Shen Maoshan was only concerned with talking about Shen Tingyao, and Shen Jinyao only asked about Xiang Hongxuan's current situation.

Who would have thought that Xiang Hongxuan would be stripped of his official position and even put in solitary confinement because of this reason known to everyone.

Xiang Hongxuan was in the dark, and his expression could not be seen.

He said sarcastically: "The emperor never mentioned a word about it, just like the incident of the Shen family's property being confiscated, he never mentioned it either."

Shen Jinyao was a little angry, but she also knew that there must be a trap set by the emperor.

But she still couldn't help cursing, "Playing dumb and deaf, only knowing how to bully honest people."

Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

After all, Shen Jinyao rarely acts so aggressively in front of others.

Perhaps, this is also the real Shen Jinyao?

"What about the prince?"
