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

Xiang Hongxuan's arrival alarmed the abbot of the temple.

"I didn't know General Xiang was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet him."

"You are welcome, host. I will just take a walk with Miss Shen from the Marquis' Mansion."

Xiang Hongxuan's voice was low and powerful, and people nearby could hear it.

Shen Jinyao stood behind Xiang Hongxuan and couldn't help but feel that he was trying to explain their relationship indirectly.

It seems that Xiang Hongxuan still cares about the rumors he heard in the car just now.

That’s right, no one wants his fiancée to be a sickly person.

The host glanced at Shen Jinyao who was standing behind him, and Shen Jinyao bowed politely.

"Haha, fine, fine, then I won't bother you anymore. General Xiang, please do as you please."

Xiang Hongxuan not only asked the host to leave, but also asked the followers around him to stay away.

Shen Jinyao: "General, do you have anything to say to me?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded and asked, "I wonder if Miss Shen is feeling better now?"

Shen Jinyao didn't expect that Xiang Hongxuan was concerned about the original owner's health. She looked up at him.

He said, "I am much better now, General, please rest assured."

Although Xiang Hongxuan felt that such a conversation was a bit awkward, he had no choice but to give up when he thought that the two of them were not quite familiar with each other.

"Don't take what you just heard to heart. Just focus on taking care of your health."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness."

After that, the two of them just walked like that, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

Shen Jinyao felt a little awkward, so she changed the subject, "General, are you leaving in the next two days?"

Xiang Hongxuan thought Shen Jinyao would not speak again, and he was a little surprised by her question.

"We are scheduled to leave tomorrow."

At this point, Shen Jinyao became interested, "I wonder where the general is going this time?"

Xiang Hongxuan smiled and said, "Quzhou, the southernmost state of our Jiuzhou Kingdom."

"What's it like there?"

Xiang Hongxuan was surprised, "You want to hear it?"

Most women don't like to hear such topics.

Shen Jinyao nodded. Is there anything wrong with listening to this?

"It's not as good as Shangzhou. It's a bitter and cold place with complex terrain and the people are suffering..."

Xiang Hongxuan realized that what he said was somewhat right and looked at Shen Jinyao apologetically.

But I didn't expect that she listened very carefully.

"Sorry, I'm not good at talking. I guess you girls don't like to hear this."

Shen Jinyao waved her hand, realizing that this action was somewhat unladylike, and she quickly lowered her head.

"General, you don't have to say that. I envy you."

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao who suddenly lowered her head again, and for some reason he felt a little lost.

"envious?"

Shen Jinyao raised her head again, looked at Xiang Hongxuan and said, "Yes, it's such a cool thing to be able to serve the motherland and gallop across the battlefield."

Xiang Hongxuan stayed where he was. He didn't expect that a girl who had been trapped in the house for a long time could say such words.

Looking at Xiang Hongxuan's expression, Shen Jinyao realized that she was a lady from a noble family.

She admired heroes and just now she couldn't help but put herself in their shoes.

She quickly added, "Excuse me, General Xiang. I just read a lot of storybooks."

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao who was laughing shyly. The impact of what she had just said had not yet faded.

No one had ever said such a thing to him.

He thought he had met a confidant, but it turned out to be just an idea from a storybook.

Xiang Hongxuan smiled tolerantly, "It's good to look at these more, just don't hurt your eyes."

Shen Jinyao nodded, feeling nervous, thinking that she should have passed this level.

Her purpose today was, first, to test General Xiang's character, second, to pave the way for Shen Jinyao's drastic change in personality, and third, what she was going to do next.

"General Xiang, I'll go in and burn incense myself."

Xiang Hongxuan stopped and looked at the bustling lobby.

"Well, I'll wait for you here."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Okay."

At this time, Qiuyan and Dongmei, who had been following behind, walked forward very tactfully.

Supported by two maids, Shen Jinyao bowed to the Buddha statue in front of her.

She wrote in the letter: "Thank you to all the gods for bringing me into this world. I will be grateful and live a good life."

After Shen Jinyao kowtowed three times, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest.

That's where the jade pendant is.

She suppressed her doubts and pretended nothing had happened.

When Shen Jinyao brought Qiuyan and Dongmei out, she did not find Xiang Hongxuan.

Qiuyan: "Strange, General Xiang was waiting here just now."

Dongmei: "Miss, please wait here, we will go look for it."

Shen Jinyao didn't take it seriously. After all, according to Xiang Hongxuan, whom she had just met, he would definitely not abandon the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion.

She walked to the pavilion nearby, ready to wait while watching the scenery below the mountain.

Unexpectedly, she saw Xiang Hongxuan talking to his followers under the pavilion.

I don't know what they are talking about, but they seem serious.

Shen Jinyao thought about it and then walked down the path.

"General, there's something fishy about this..."

"come out!!"

Xiang Hongxuan’s roar scared Shen Jinyao. Doesn’t this guy usually speak in a deep voice?

Why are you yelling so loudly?

Deputy General Zhao Ling standing by was alert. He was a little surprised that the general did not kill the eavesdropper.

It was not until Shen Jinyao walked out from behind the tree that Zhao Ling put away the knife.

He secretly glanced at Xiang Hongxuan and saw that although he had a stern face, he did not chase anyone away.

He wisely retreated quickly.

"I didn't mean to. I couldn't find you when I came out, so my maids went to look for you. I was resting in the pavilion up there, and I didn't expect to see you, so I came over to look for you."

Shen Jinyao spoke quickly because if she was a second slower Xiang Hongxuan would have killed her.

The murderous aura around him is too strong. It seems I need to get some weapons when I go out in the future.

Xiang Hongxuan didn't know what Shen Jinyao was thinking, but he still had a sullen face.

"I'll have someone take you back."

Shen Jinyao was stunned. She didn't expect General Xiang to have such a bad temper. Fortunately, she only heard two sentences.

Seeing Shen Jinyao lower her head obediently, Xiang Hongxuan added: "Something unexpected happened. I am leaving for Quzhou now."

Shen Jinyao: "Let's go now?"

What's so urgent that you can't stop for even a moment?

Xiang Hongxuan nodded and said, "Please speak to the old lady for me. I will visit her next time I come back."

Shen Jinyao knew he was talking about her grandmother, so she quickly nodded in agreement.

"correct……"

Just as Xiang Hongxuan was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and Shen Jinyao almost bumped into his chest.

"Right now, Raozhou is suffering from drought, and Huzhou is suffering from floods. The court is also in chaos. The four princes all have their own ideas. Your father..."

At this point, Xiang Hongxuan felt that he was wrong. How could he say these things to a woman?

"It's okay, I mean you need to take care of yourself."

Realizing that the other party wanted to change the subject, Shen Jinyao was not prepared to be vague.

"What happened to my father? Will he be implicated? Is something going to happen to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xiang Hongxuan was surprised by Shen Jinyao's sharpness.

"These are just my guesses. In short, it's better to be cautious."

Shen Jinyao understood that Xiang Hongxuan's sudden departure seemed to be related to the changes in the court.

She bowed solemnly to Xiang Hongxuan and said, "Thank you, General Xiang, for your advice."

Xiang Hongxuan was also in a heavy mood, as he thought this would be a disaster for the Shen family.

The old lady of the Shen family has some relationship with his grandmother, and Shen Jinyao is his fiancée, so he can't just sit back and watch.

But what can a weak woman like Shen Jinyao do?

That's all he can say and do.
