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

Shen Jinyao knew that the matter was complicated, so she planned to go home to see her father.

Xiang Hongxuan took his men away, leaving only two servants and a carriage for Shen Jinyao.

Qiuyan was a little puzzled: "Miss, why did the general leave suddenly?"

"He has something important to do, so let's go back quickly."

Dongmei advised, "Miss, it's already noon. Why don't you have lunch at the temple before leaving?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head firmly, "Let's go back now."

Although Qiuyan and Dongmei were puzzled, they knew that the young lady had been independent in doing things since she woke up, so they quickly packed up and went home.

The doorman of the Shen Mansion was a little surprised to see the carriage of the Xiang Mansion.

We had just finished our meal at this time, why did the eldest lady and General Xiang come back at this time?

But when they saw someone getting out of the carriage, they found that it was only the eldest daughter.

The servants hurried to pass the message, as General Xiang was waiting to be received at home.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jinyao moved even faster and went straight to her grandmother's yard.

"Miss, why are you here at this hour? The old lady just went to bed. Why don't you come back later?"

Nanny Li, who was by the old lady's side, had taken care of her for many years. Her husband was the steward of the Shen family, and her son was the guard of the Shen family.

The old lady was taken care of meticulously and attentively, as she hadn't been sleeping well recently.

That's why he stopped the young lady.

There are eight grandchildren in the Shen family, and the eldest daughter is the second one born.

But because he was sick since childhood, he rarely went out.

However, the old lady still treated everyone equally and did not dislike Shen Jinyao because of this.

After listening to this, Shen Jinyao had no choice but to give up.

"Is that Jin'er? Madam Li, please let her in."

The old lady's voice came from the room. Ever since she heard that Shen Jinyao had woken up yesterday, the old lady had been thinking about seeing someone.

Unexpectedly, he went to the appointment again this morning. Thinking that the other party was the grandson of her good friend, Mrs. Shen did not pursue the matter.

On the way back, Shen Jinyao had already thought about what to say.

Fortunately, she had Xiang Hongxuan as a shield, so she took the opportunity to learn some things from the old lady and it made sense.

"Grandma, Jin'er greets you."

The old lady leaned back and looked at her eldest granddaughter who was kneeling on the ground.

She hadn't seen Shen Jinyao for more than three months. When she heard that she had regained consciousness yesterday, she thought it was a moment of clarity.

If you see her kneeling on the ground, her back is straight and her posture is very dignified, you would not have thought that she has made a lot of progress after her illness.

The old lady smiled and said, "Hurry up and get up. You have just recovered and you are already giving me this big salute."

Shen Jinyao was helped up by the maid and took the opportunity to glance at the old lady.

The old lady is a descendant of the Qin family, a military family. The Qin family is a large family with a longer history than the Xiang family.

It’s a pity that the family has fewer and fewer sons and is now in a state of decline.

The daughter-in-law of the third branch of the Shen family is the niece of the old lady's brother's wife.

Shen Jinyao heard from Qiuyan and Dongmei that the old lady also knew some kung fu before.

Now she looked at the old lady's physique, which was indeed well maintained for her age.

The old lady is not kind-looking, but she has a unique majesty.

Although the Shen family is small, with only three sons and daughters-in-law, they are relatively harmonious. All this is directly related to this old lady.

"My granddaughter is in good health now. I came back today and came to see my grandmother."

At this point, Mrs. Shen realized why she hadn't seen the boy from the Xiang family.

Logically speaking, I must come to visit her.

"Grandmother, General Xiang had something urgent to attend to, so he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf and said he would come to see you next time."

Noticing Madam Shen's doubts, Shen Jinyao explained.

Old Madam Shen didn't care too much about it. After all, a man must have a lot of things to do when he is out there.

"Okay, if he's busy, let him do it first."

"grandmother……"

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Jinyao, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and glanced at the servants in the room.

She said, "You all go down, let's have a chat."

"Yes."

A total of more than a dozen servants from the inner and outer rooms, including the door, were brought by Nanny Li to a place not far from the house.

Madam Shen was silent for a moment, then said, "You've been sickly since childhood and have a weak personality. You went out today and came to see me alone. You asked the servants to leave, but what do you want to say?"

After listening to this, Shen Jinyao became even more excited.

"Grandmother, I met with General Xiang today. He told me something important that I dared not share with anyone else. I came here specifically to ask you for your answers."

Although Shen Jinyao's voice was a little cold, she was also cautious when facing the old lady.

This eased Mrs. Shen's attitude a little. After all, she was just a child and didn't know what to do after hearing a few words.

She smiled and said, "What big deal could scare you like this?"

Shen Jinyao said carefully, "Grandmother, General Xiang was supposed to leave tomorrow. But today he suddenly said he had to leave for the border now."

"When he left, he specifically told me that the court was going to be in chaos and asked Dad to be careful."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen's face darkened.

Maoshan did come to see her a few days ago and mentioned that there was some chaos in the court.

"What else did he say?"

"He said this was all his speculation. The Marquis' Mansion might be implicated, so it's better to be careful."

Old Madam Shen was thinking alone and didn't say anything else.

Shen Jinyao: "Grandmother, what does chaos in the court mean? Should we do something?"

She didn't know what would happen, she just wanted to see what her grandmother thought. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Old Madam Shen was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her granddaughter would come to her to discuss something after hearing these words.

If it were another girl, she would have been scared to death and looked for her parents.

Or they may be so arrogant that they don't take it seriously at all.

She felt that Shen Tingyao, the second young lady of their Shen family, was capable of doing such a thing.

But what can a girl do? She thought she couldn't refuse the child's kindness.

"Good boy, you did the right thing. Go back and rest first. When your father comes back, we will discuss it with him."

"But only you and I know about this."

"Don't worry, Grandma. I won't tell anyone."

Shen Jinyao looked at the old lady and knew that she would not say anything more to her, so she could not get anything out of her.

She thought, okay.

Just think of it as a reminder to the person in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, in case it can be helpful.

Shen Jinyao came out of her grandmother's yard and went to her mother's yard to pay her respects.

Mrs. Shen was a little busy at the time and was a little surprised to learn that General Xiang had left early.

"Mom, I haven't eaten yet. I'm going back first. When Dad comes back, please send someone to call me and I'll eat with you."

Mrs. Shen was a little surprised and said jokingly, "Jin'er has really grown up."

It was already afternoon when Shen Jinyao returned to her yard.

"Just make me some porridge and bring it over. I want to be quiet for a while. Don't disturb me."

"Yes, Miss."
