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

Before dawn the next day, servants came to Shen Jinyao's room one after another.

Someone helped Shen Jinyao to wash and dress, someone dressed her up, and someone served her breakfast.

Qiuyan and Dongmei, who were standing by, could only help.

Shen Jinyao marveled at Mrs. Shen's ability to get things done, which did not give her any chance to regret.

She could only pin her hopes on the man. What if he was about to go on a long journey and was very busy?

What if being a general is a lot of work?

What if he finds his fiancée too troublesome?

just in case……

"Miss, General Xiang's carriage is waiting at the door."

The servant outside brought news, and Shen Jinyao could only accept her fate.

Let's take it one step at a time. It seems there won't be any unexpected events.

Accompanied by two maids and under the gaze of everyone in the Shen Mansion, Shen Jinyao walked to the Xiang Mansion's carriage.

Standing next to the carriage was a handsome young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young man stood straight, dressed in tight clothes.

When I got closer, I found that the boy had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a sharp face, with an awe-inspiring look.

Shen Jinyao looked at it for a few seconds and then lowered her head.

She thought that this man was indeed handsome enough, like the male lead in a TV series.

But this man is so young, he should be the general's follower, right?

Xiang Hongxuan didn't expect that Shen Jinyao looked at him a few times and then lowered her head.

Weren't you very bold just now?

Stare at his face.

He had heard some rumors that Shen Jinyao was terminally ill.

His family kept urging him to find out the truth, simply because they wanted to see whether the daughter of the Marquis was really going to die.

In my impression, Shen Jinyao is a little kid who is a few years younger than me.

Not to mention that she would become his wife in the future, it would be really sad if such a girl died.

There were quite a few letters sent to the Xiang Mansion, and he was urged to submit them several times.

Unexpectedly, they all disappeared.

Just when he thought his fiancée might be in real danger of her life, he received a reply from the Shen family.

But he is leaving tomorrow.

But it’s okay, as it gives both families something to look forward to.

However, when he returned to Shangjing this time, he always felt that the situation in the court was not optimistic.

It is hard to say whether his marriage will change by then.

He has always been fighting on the battlefield, and starting a family is just an idea of the Xiang family.

He looked at his fiancée in front of him and saw that she was radiant, calm and composed, and definitely not someone who had been bedridden for a long time.

Besides, from his observation, she was quite courageous.

"Ms. Shen, where would you like to go today?"

A low voice came from above her head, and Shen Jinyao realized then that the man standing in front of her was Xiang Hongxuan.

He turned out to be a young general.

What a young talent.

It's just that this person is somewhat arrogant and unruly.

"General Xiang, my mother wants you to go with me to the temple to burn incense and pray for the general."

Of course, this was what Shen Jinyao thought herself. She couldn't say that she was going to fulfill a wish, right?

Xiang Hongxuan nodded and signaled the servant to take out the horse stool and lift the curtain.

He could tell that the girl was just being polite.

Except for being a little stunned when she first saw him, she behaved distantly and politely afterwards.

Shen Jinyao got on the carriage according to the procedures.

Only after they sat down did Qiuyan and Dongmei dare to take a deep breath.

Qiuyan: "Miss, why do I feel that General Xiang is a bit scary?"

She saw the general's appearance clearly. Although he was handsome, he was serious and a little scary.

Dongmei: "I also think the general doesn't like to joke."

Shen Jinyao looked at the two maids with amusement, "Alright, no more gossiping about others. To be a general must be extraordinary, otherwise how could one lead an army of thousands?"

Being so close, he could hear it at any time. Shen Jinyao was used to being strict with his subordinates in the army.

Naturally, I don't like to give people something to talk about.

Shen Jinyao was right. Xiang Hongxuan, who was riding a horse not far away, did hear it.

He didn't expect that a young lady who lived secluded in the boudoir could say such words.

He had no idea how scary he looked.

All I know is that the servants of the Xiang family ran away when they saw him.

Only his stepmother spoke a few words to him.

The temple was about half an hour away from the city. Xiang Mansion's carriage was traveling quite fast, and they arrived in less than half an hour.

Of course, there was another reason why they arrived so quickly, and that was that when passers-by saw Xiang Mansion's carriage, they unconsciously avoided it.

The Xiang family is a family that has produced generals for three generations.

The youngest was Xiang Hongxuan, who was only sixteen years old.

This person is serious and doesn't like to interact with the young masters in Shangjing City.

His only good friend is the third prince of the royal family, Liu Jingyao.

Passersby were a little curious, why did General Xiang come to the temple?

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that the general will leave tomorrow."

"Ah? You've only been back for three months, and you're leaving already?"

"Yes, I heard that the Qiang people in the south have started to make moves. I guess the general has to go back to guard the area."

"Ah, think about how pitiful General Xiang is, guarding the border at such a young age."

"Hush, keep your voice down. It's all that stepmother's fault."

"Hey, what do you know? The mother and son have a good relationship."

"Yes, I heard that General Xiang will be getting married next year."

"Get married? Marry who?"

"She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family of the Marquisate."

"You mean the sickly guy who's about to die?"

"What sickly person? He's already recovered."

"Who said that? I saw the Marquis's mistress coming here to pray last time."

"I think General Xiang's marriage is going to fail..."

As the carriage gradually approached the temple, its speed slowed down.

The master and two servants in the car finally stopped swaying.

The carriage was moving too fast. Fortunately, Shen Jinyao had a strong mental state, otherwise, with her body that had just recovered from a serious illness, she would have vomited from the shaking.

As the carriage slowed down, the voices of the people talking outside the carriage reached everyone's ears.

The law does not hold everyone responsible, let alone the common people.

When you hear others talking, even the emperor has to listen.

Qiuyan and Dongmei were filled with anger and wanted to lift the car curtain to argue with the person.

Shen Jinyao sat still, since she wasn't the only one talking about it.

In ancient times, gossip could kill people.

If she really cared, she wouldn't have to live.

Her purpose today was to see where this fiancé came from.

If the person has bad character, the people will talk about it a lot, and it would be best if the marriage is ruined.

At present, General Xiang gave her the impression that he was serious and deep-minded, and not someone who was easy to mess with.

In her opinion, he didn't have any deep feelings for his original self, and it was probably just the arrangement of his parents and the matchmaker.

Even so, Shen Jinyao did not dare to relax at all.

After all, he is a young general, and his observation and insight are absolutely first-class.

Let’s fool General Xiang first today.
