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

The next day was the day the couple went to the palace to express their gratitude, which happened to be when Xiang Hongxuan was on vacation.

"General, Madam, the Emperor and Empress are waiting."

When Xiang Hongxuan and Shen Jinyao stepped into the hall, they felt the gaze of the emperor sitting on the throne.

The two of them bowed their heads and thanked him.

The Queen is in a good mood today.

Yesterday, Ping'er and the princess came to pay their respects, and she mentioned that she wanted a grandson.

Unexpectedly, Ping'er didn't say anything, but the prince's wife made her very satisfied.

She saw that Ping'er was still as filial to her as before, and not like she worried that she would forget her mother after getting married.

Besides, the prince's wife also listens to Ping'er very much.

She thought that this marriage was indeed a good one.

After all, if Shen Tingyao is devoted to Ping'er, the Shen family will sooner or later consider Ping'er.

As for Shen Jinyao.

I heard from Ping'er that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is not as favored as Shen Tingyao in the Shen family.

Of course, General Xiang marrying Shen Jinyao did put her mind at ease.

Otherwise, Shen Jinyao would not have come from the general's mansion to express her gratitude today.

Instead, he came from a palace in the palace to express his gratitude to her.

Of course, she still couldn't let Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan have their fun, after all, Xiang Hongxuan would not stand on Ping'er's side.

"General Xiang is indeed blessed with good fortune. I heard he went to the old house and caused a scene yesterday."

Xiang Hongxuan said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are wise. This has its reasons. It is all my family affair."

The Queen was reluctant to continue talking about family matters.

After all, the old general of the Xiang family first drove the people out and then did not attend his son's wedding banquet.

Everyone has reason to be angry.

Shen Jinyao on the side was very surprised.

After dinner yesterday, Xiang Hongxuan went out.

By the time it was dark the day after tomorrow, Xian Hongxuan had still been in the study.

She heard Xia Zhu say that something seemed to be moved in the front yard, but she didn't know that they were actually making trouble in the old house?

Could it be that he was trying to snatch back his mother's dowry?

Shen Jinyao felt a lot more relaxed.

She thought Xiang Hongxuan was magnanimous and didn't want to make a fuss, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to get her things back.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Hongxuan actually did it himself.

It seems that the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel yesterday. Even General Xiang, who was on leave, came to the palace to complain today.

The emperor remained silent, allowing the queen to mock the couple below.

He glared at Shen Jinyao hatefully.

Suddenly, Shen Jinyao raised her head.

"Your Majesty, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about what Shen Jinyao meant, his anger was obvious.

Then pressed it.

He glanced at the queen who was looking at him with concern. She was probably the only one in the room who believed it.

"Hongxuan, your wife has quite a good eye."

Xiang Hongxuan had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he knew exactly who had harbored murderous intentions since he entered the hall.

However, he also knew very well that the emperor would not openly attack him and Shen Jinyao.

Xiang Hongxuan did not continue.

Instead, he changed the subject, "The kings of the four kingdoms will be gathering in Shangjing City soon. Although the emperor is worried, he still wants the crown prince and the prince to do more."

When the emperor heard Xiang Hongxuan mention the four countries coming to Shangjing, he no longer had the heart to argue with the two people below.

He just smiled and said, "What Hongxuan said makes sense. Your wife doesn't know yet, does she? You will be living in the palace for a while from now on."

Shen Jinyao really didn't know.

Xiang Hongxuan said loudly: "It is my duty to help the emperor share his worries."

Perhaps because Xiang Hongxuan mentioned that the kings of the four countries were going to Shangjing, the emperor no longer had the mood to make things difficult for him.

The rewards were flashy and superficial, which showed the royal family's high regard for Xiang Hongxuan, but were not very practical.

Shen Jinyao sat in the carriage and thought that the Xiang family’s warehouse was full of these things.

The emperor really doesn't want Xiang Hongxuan to get well, doesn't he know to give him some silver?

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Jinyao smiled, looked at Xiang Hongxuan and said, "I didn't know you went to the old house yesterday?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded and said seriously: "After this incident, they will definitely not come to bother you for no reason."

Shen Jinyao laughed out loud, "Are you going to the old house to vent your anger on me?"

Xiang Hongxuan clenched his hands tightly because of Shen Jinyao's smile, and even his ears turned a little red.

"Of course I have to protect my wife, and of course, I have to take back my mother's things."

Seeing Xiang Hongxuan so serious, Shen Jinyao stopped joking.

She said, "Thank you, husband."

When Xiang Hongxuan heard the word "husband", his heart beat very fast. He couldn't control it at all and could only lower his eyes.

Then he thought that the reason Shen Jinyao could say it so easily was simply because she didn't regard him as her husband.

Because you don't care, you can say it casually.

Unlike him, every time I say the word "Madam", I have to practice it in my mind for a long time.

"By the way, is what the Emperor said true? Are you going to stay in the palace for a long time?"

Xiang Hongxuan suppressed his throbbing emotions and looked up at Shen Jinyao: "Yes, it is true."

He explained, "The Emperor appointed me as a reception ambassador, and the people brought by the four kings must live in the palace."

"I, along with the Crown Prince, the First Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Imperial Guards, are responsible for the safety of these people."

Shen Jinyao sneered, "It's just surveillance?"

Xiang Hongxuan also sneered and nodded.

"That's fine too. The Emperor was so focused on his birthday banquet that he had the kings of four countries come to pay homage at the same time, but he didn't think about the dangers inside. It would be better to keep an eye on them. It would be safer."

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan, only to see him leaning on the soft couch in the carriage, looking at her leisurely.

"what happened?"

Xiang Hongxuan said calmly, "You should be concerned about how long your husband will be gone, whether it will be hard for him, and when he will be back."

It was the first time that Shen Jinyao heard Xiang Hongxuan tell such a joke, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Haha, the general is right."

Shen Jinyao suddenly remembered something and looked at Xiang Hongxuan in confusion.

"By the way, aren't you the one the emperor sent to the palace? But yesterday..."

She finally remembered what she wanted to ask Xiang Hongxuan.

That's it.

I searched all the maids and servants in the mansion yesterday, but couldn't find out who was sent in by the emperor or empress.

Xiang Hongxuan said calmly, "I've already driven out all the ones that were sent to me before. Don't worry, there will be more later."

Seeing that Xiang Hongxuan was so confident, Shen Jinyao no longer suspected anything.

It seems that the two of them still have to live in the same house.

How could Xiang Hongxuan not guess what Shen Jinyao was thinking, and naturally he would not expose her.

It will take some time for Shen Jinyao to get used to my presence.

"Madam, you've said so much. It seems that you are not very satisfied with what your husband has done."

Shen Jinyao was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

What did she say?

"From now on, I will definitely tell Madam everything and not let her worry."

After Xiang Hongxuan finished speaking, he got off the carriage with an ambiguous smile.

Shen Jinyao wanted to say a few more words, but stopped when she saw the people waiting under the carriage.

Never mind, it's just acting.
