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

Song Yingxue looked out the window again.

She smiled and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Alsa was taken aback for a moment, then started giggling, as if she had discovered something interesting.

She also looked out the window.

"So that's Lord Shen's sister? General Xiang's wife?"

Song Yingxue didn't expect that Alsa was also interested.

She looked at her warily. "I think so, you..."

Alsa smiled and glanced back at Song Yingxue, then understood what she meant.

She laughed. "Don't worry, I won't fight you for it. I just like watching the excitement."

Even Song Yingxue, who was very knowledgeable, did not expect that Alsa had this purpose.

but……

This girl does have a lot of smiles.

Moreover, they have that easygoing nature in their bones.

Unlike her, who had to find a way to survive at any time just to keep her own life at stake.

If she doesn't stay this time, then...

"gone."

As she heard Alsa's voice, Song Yingxue glanced out the window.

Lord Shen waved goodbye to his sister, who possessed an extraordinary air about her and indeed had the presence of a general's wife.

Alsa: "Hmm, I'm looking over here."

Alsa pulled Song Yingxue along and waved to Shen Jinyao downstairs.

Xiang Yang and Lan Xing, who were behind Shen Jinyao, became wary.

Xiang Yang: "Madam, that is the inn where the guests from the four countries are staying."

He hesitated before saying, "While you were talking to Lord Shen, those two young ladies upstairs were looking this way the whole time."

Lan Xing nodded.

She noticed it too.

Xia Zhu: "Madam, these are the people that the eldest young master needs to take care of."

Shen Jinyao nodded.

After Xiang Hongxuan and Murong Wenyi left, the Shen family never came to pick up the children.

However, there was an important menu to check at the restaurant, so she took Xia Zhu and Lan Xing out the door.

But Xiang Yang insisted on following.

He stated directly that this was General Xiang's order.

He was to stay by the lady's side at all times to protect her safety.

When the four kingdoms came to Shangjing, Xiang Hongxuan added another batch of people to the Xiang family mansion.

Shen Jinyao naturally had no objections, and she also increased the number of guards for the Shen family.

However, the group did not expect that they would run into Shen Zhizheng, who was there on business, as soon as they arrived at the restaurant entrance.

Shen Jinyao naturally noticed the probing gazes from upstairs.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the people upstairs seemed more interested in her older brother.

"Hello, are you General Xiang's wife?"

Alsa asked Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao would never do something like shouting loudly in the street.

She only looked up at the two girls upstairs.

He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, and bore a resemblance to people from Xinjiang in the 21st century.

The other one is petite, cute, and very much like a girl from the South.

Both of them were wearing their own country's clothing.

Very easy to recognize.

The one who asked the question loudly must have been the playful girl, and the girl next to her also looked curious.

Shen Jinyao simply nodded slightly to the two of them, then led them into the restaurant.

Alsa patted Song Yingxue, who was standing next to her.

"Hey, what do you think her nodding means?"

Song Yingxue sat back on the bed and packed her bags.

He said, "Nodding means yes, right?"

Clearly, Song Yingxue was not as energetic as she had been when facing Lord Shen earlier; she looked rather listless.

Alsa poured herself a cup of tea, rested her chin on her hand, and said, "It's boring."

Although Song Yingxue had only known Alsa for less than half a day, she already understood that what she was saying was meaningless.

"It's better to be boring than to be a killing god like General Xiang."

Alsa was somewhat surprised that Song Yingxue understood what she was talking about.

Once again, I felt that I had made the right choice to live with Song Yingxue.

This is much more interesting than Liu'er and the other two.

She took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if General Xiang and his wife are this bored together? I think that wife is beautiful, but she's really quite uninteresting. I think..."

"Cough cough..."

Song Yingxue coughed lightly, interrupting Alsa's words.

Lord Shen stood outside the door, fully dressed and ready to depart.

"Ladies, it's time for you to enter the palace."

The voice was somewhat cold.

Song Yingxue quickly stood up and said with a charming smile, "Hehe, okay, Lord Shen."

Shen Zhizheng didn't reply, but instead glanced at the two of them.

"I hope you understand, young lady, that this is the Kingdom of Kyushu, where you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want."

After saying that, he turned and left on his own.

Song Yingxue: She's even more suitable to be protective of her own.

Alsa wasn't intimidated by his earlier imposing manner and said with a smile, "Lord Shen is wrong; you can't just eat anything!"

As Shen Zhizheng listened to Alsa's voice, he couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.

He had a bad feeling about this.

……

"Madam, Lord Shen has already led those people back to the palace for the banquet."

Shen Jinyao nodded.

Shen Congshan, the third master of the Shen family, who was standing nearby, naturally heard the commotion outside.

"Jin'er, is something wrong?"

Shen Jinyao first smiled and shook her head.

He then said, "These people will all be staying at the inn from now on, so the streets probably won't be very peaceful anymore."

Shen Congshan and Shen Zhiye naturally thought of the girl's voice from earlier.

Shen Jinyao continued, "Inform all shops that they should not force foreign dignitaries to buy anything. They should be neither servile nor arrogant. We cannot afford to be taken advantage of, nor can we be too harsh on them."

"Each shop needs to add two people with some martial arts skills to avoid any disputes."

"If there is a real dispute, just have those people take their men to the Prefect of the Capital."

Shen Zhiye asked with some concern, "Big sister, are you really alright?"

Those people seemed to have absolutely no sense of manners.

Shen Jinyao smiled in a relaxed manner.

“Zhiye, you’ve been to different prefectures and cities, and the customs and traditions of each place are naturally different. Different countries are even more different, so we just need to do our best.”

"Of course, we also need to protect ourselves. Business should still be done, after all, crisis is opportunity."

Shen Zhiye's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Big sister, I understand."

Shen Congshan also wore a relieved and understanding expression.

He seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Jin'er, my sister-in-law said that the three of them should stay at the General's Mansion for now."

Shen Jinyao couldn't control herself and stared blankly, "Huh?"

Shen Congshan almost laughed.

Finally I endured it.

"Those two little ones are completely disobedient. Tomorrow, seeing the adults busy, they'll be either climbing on the roof or climbing trees, and many of the servants will get injured as a result."

"But as you know, the Emperor's birthday is just a few days away, there's no time to persuade them. So..."

Shen Jinyao said incredulously, "So, you want me to persuade the two of them?"

Shen Zhiye lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Jinyao.

He felt that his older sister had never been so helpless before; she was truly pitiful.
