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

Xiang Mansion.

Before dawn, Xiang Hongxuan got up and washed.

When he was washing and dressing, he did not ask anyone to serve him as usual.

But it still woke up those who were light sleepers.

There was a sound of stirring in bed, followed by someone murmuring.

"What time is it?"

Perhaps because of the change of place yesterday, Shen Jinyao did not sleep well all night.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the curtains in the inner room and said softly, "It's time for me to go to court. I'm sorry for waking you."

"okay."

Shen Jinyao didn't seem to be fully awake yet.

She is also an actress, so naturally she doesn't have to do what a wife should do.

After the people in the house heard it, they heard long breathing sounds again not long after.

Xiang Hongxuan shook his head with a smile.

But he was the one who should catch up on his sleep.

He opened the door and was greeted by the guard Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang saw that the room was still dark and the general had not even asked anyone to light a lamp.

Just wear black clothes like this?

"Go to the study and freshen up."

Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, then called the servant who used to serve him.

Even in the old Xiang Mansion, Xiang Hongxuan never liked to have maids serving him.

Thinking of the old house, Xiang Yang hesitated.

Xiang Hongxuan was already dressed at this time.

"Go and give orders. If anyone comes to the old house today, don't let them in."

Xiang Yang nodded in agreement.

It would be strange if no one came to the old house today.

After all, they can't get any benefits from the general, so they will definitely bully the lady.

Xiang Yang found Zhao Ma at the mansion and entrusted the matter to her.

Nanny Zhao saw that the master bedroom was still dark and the lady had not even gotten up to take care of the general before he went to court.

She was somewhat dissatisfied, but the general once said that everything should be based on the wife.

This shows how much the general protects his wife.

Although the general said nothing.

But she knew that at this time, the general, regardless of the wishes of the old house, was already with the exiled Shen Jinyao in Quzhou.

It can be seen how much the general values ​​this woman.

She grew up watching the general.

When the general first decided to marry the sickly Shen Jinyao, she became worried.

If such a sickly girl were to marry into the family, not to mention whether she was worthy of the Major General, even if she was worthy of him in terms of talent and virtue, how could she stay with the Major General forever?

What's more, the general's wife in that old house is very vicious.

Can such a sickly woman be okay if she enters the old house?

Fortunately, the engagement was later cancelled.

Because of this incident, the general had already had an unpleasant experience with the old house.

After that, the major general rarely returned to his old home.

When he finally returned to Shangzhou, the young general was punished by the emperor.

The vicious woman took the opportunity to do something bad and kept telling the old general that something was going to happen to the young general and that it would be better to kick him out first.

Otherwise, the Xiang family will definitely be implicated.

Sure enough, the old general believed what the vicious woman said.

The major general was driven out, and she followed him out.

The only people who came out with her were the old woman, Xiang Yang, and two servants.

Fortunately, the general was soon reused by the emperor.

Not only was his position as general restored, but he was also granted the important position of reception minister by the emperor.

The young general asked to open his own office.

Originally, the emperor wanted to give the young general a house, but the young general disagreed and ended up buying the house with his own money.

The vicious woman started talking about the house again.

Just wondering, how could a young general have so much money?

The young general ignored him and from that day on he completely broke off relations with the old mansion.

People outside say that the old general of the Xiang family assists the eldest prince, and the young general of the Xiang family assists the crown prince. How can there be two people in charge of the Xiang family?

Separation is inevitable.

But I didn’t expect that the old house would even cause trouble for the general’s marriage.

There was not a single person coming over to the old house.

Even on the second master's side, no one spoke.

If the young general did all this for someone other than the woman in the main house, then who else could it be for?

She sighed slightly, hoping that the lady would be more considerate of the young general.

Before Xiang Hongxuan left, he glanced at the main house again.

It was not until dawn that Shen Jinyao opened her eyes.

This was her usual biological clock.

She dressed herself and opened the door.

Ever since she came here, she has never been used to having a maid serving her closely.

Every time they opened the door, Xia Zhu and Lan Xing knew what to do.

The maids and servants were very surprised to see the door opened.

But I saw that the lady had already put on her clothes, only her hair was not combed.

Xia Zhu and Lan Xing called out "Madam."

After the two entered the house, the others finally reacted.

Although they were very surprised and had never seen such a master, they all lowered their heads and kept silent, doing what they were supposed to do.

Shen Jinyao glanced at the old nanny who had been waiting in the corner.

She thought that this must be the old nanny that the general had talked about last night.

Watched him grow up since he was a child.

She was also his mother's dowry nanny.

Xiang Hongxuan said that the only people who could be considered his own people in this mansion were the nanny and the personal bodyguard named Xiang Yang.

Her plan today was to find out the situation of the Xiang family.

Whether it is a new house or an old house, you can also take a look at how much assets you have.

"Madam Zhao, let's have dinner together."

Nanny Zhao didn't expect that the lady would invite her to have dinner together. She refused several times, but thinking that the lady must have something to say to her, she had no choice but to agree.

"The general told me to treat Mammy as a relative. If it weren't for Mammy when I was little, there would be no general."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao smiled happily.

"General, is that really what you said?"

"Yes."

of course not.

It is certainly impossible to expect someone like Xiang Hongxuan to say such nice words.

But Shen Jinyao knew that this was exactly what Xiang Hongxuan meant.

She could completely trust Madam Zhao in matters at home.

However, people always like flattery.

If she said this, Zhao Ma would be happy, and she would also be less repulsive to her.

They became closer and she quickly became the hostess of the Xiang family.

Although she doesn't want to be the leader, she now holds this position and cannot ignore many things.

Just think of it as her helping Xiang Hongxuan take care of the new house.

The two sat down to eat, and Shen Jinyao picked up some food for Madam Zhao, without any airs of a new lady.

Neither of them mentioned going to the old house to meet their mother-in-law and father-in-law.

However, Shen Jinyao has not yet asked about the situation of the Xiang family.

There was a noise outside.

Before Shen Jinyao could say anything, Madam Zhao's face darkened.

"Madam, please eat slowly. I will go out and take a look."

Shen Jinyao: "But what's the matter?"

Nanny Zhao thought of the general's instructions and told him the truth without hesitation.

“It turns out it’s someone from the old house.”

"Go and take a look first. If they are elders, invite them in. If they are not elders, drive them away."

Aunt Zhao: ...

The new wife is indeed capable.

General, you are really worrying too much.

She saw that the lady had already made a plan.
