Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Sixth brother, what is Fangfei Pavilion?" Shen Chuning asked curiously.

Shen Chengliu was drinking tea and spat out a mouthful of water when he heard this.

He quickly wiped his mouth and said to Shen Chuning seriously, "Don't ask around. That's not a good place. Girls can't go there. Stay away from it.

Shen Chuning refused to give in and said with a smile, "So, Sixth Brother, you've been there?"

Shen Chengliu's face flushed red, and he stammered, "Uh...someone asked me to go have a drink."

Shen Chuning looked puzzled. "We're just going out for a drink, what's wrong with that?"

Shen Chengliu nervously explained, "I... I listened to music, but staying overnight is absolutely impossible! You must not tell my parents and fifth brother, or I'll be dead."

At this moment, Shen Chuning suddenly understood what Fangfei Pavilion was and her face immediately blushed.

However, she still couldn't help but ask, "Is Fangfei Pavilion also open early in the morning like a breakfast stall or restaurant? Is it possible to get up early and go in for a drink?"

When Shen Chengliu heard Shen Chuning's question, he couldn't help but burst into laughter as if he had heard something extremely funny.

"Fangfei Pavilion only opens for business at night. How could anyone go in so early in the morning?" He laughed as he spoke, thinking it was simply a fairy tale.

After hearing this, Shen Chuning thought to herself, Zhou Lin is really a playboy!

Not only did she go to the brothel herself, but she also led the prince astray.

From now on, I will never persuade Zhou Lin to study or practice martial arts again.

"Why do you suddenly ask this? Did you see someone coming out of Fangfei Pavilion early in the morning?" Shen Chengliu even lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

"No, I just saw that the plaque of Fangfei Pavilion was very impressive, so I just asked casually." Shen Chuning said dejectedly.

Zhou Lin felt as if someone was looking at him, so he turned around suddenly and found that it was a moving convoy.

The carriages in this convoy all had the Shen family flag hanging on them.

Zhou Lin frowned, wondering if someone from the Shen family was going on a long trip, and wondered if she was there.

He wanted to take another look, but was brought back to his senses by the prince's words.

……

The group from the second branch of the Shen family stopped and walked along the way, and from time to time they had to wait for Shen Qinghe who took a detour to check on the progress of the canal construction.

It was not until three days before the birthday of the head of the Yun family that they finally arrived in Jinling City.

After entering from the north gate of Jinling, Shen Chuning found that red lanterns were hung outside the shops on both sides of the street, and each lantern had a big "Shou" character written on it.

Shen Chuning looked curiously at the bustling scene outside the car window, then turned to ask Second Madam Shen, Yun Shuxuan, who was sitting opposite her: "Mother, are there many people celebrating birthdays in Jinling City recently?"

Yun Shuxuan glanced outside as Shen Chuning opened the curtains, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "All the shops on this street belong to our Yun family."

Shen Chuning widened her eyes in shock. Although she had always known that the Yun family was rich, she had no idea that they were so rich!

Yun Shuxuan seemed to understand what Shen Chuning was thinking and explained with a smile, "Your grandfather loved buying shops. In Jinling City alone, most of the shops belong to the Yun family. It was only after your uncle took over the Yun family business that he started buying shops and farms only when needed."

Shen Chuning couldn't help but be amazed. The rental income from these shops and farms alone must be a considerable sum in a year!

No wonder my grandmother was so confident in handing over the Shen family's business to my mother. Firstly, it was because my mother had been influenced by the business since she was a child and was very familiar with business; secondly, it was because the Yun family had such a huge business, and my mother simply looked down on the Shen family's meager assets and naturally would not do anything to interfere.

If it were someone else, they would fight tooth and nail for this little right, hoping to make some money from it.

When the Shen family's carriage arrived at the gate of the Yun Mansion, the master and the old lady of the Yun family were already waiting at the gate.

After Yun Shuxuan got off the car, she saw her father and mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and her eyes instantly turned red. "Father, Mother, the unfilial daughter Shuxuan is back."

She knelt down and kowtowed, and Shen Chuning, Shen Chengshan, Shen Chengwu, and Shen Chengliu also knelt behind her.

Madam Yun wiped the tears from her eyes and helped Yun Shuxuan up. "My son, please stop kneeling. It must have been hard on this journey."

Yun Shuxuan also wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's not hard. It's not hard at all to be able to see my father and mother."

She stood up with the help of Old Madam Yun, and walked into the mansion with Old Madam Yun.

Madam Yun patted Yun Shuxuan's hand that was holding her arm and said, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

Shen Chuning was also helped up by the second wife of the Yun family.

Yun Xingzhi, the second master of the Yun family, was serving as the prefect of Weinan. Since he could not leave his post without important matters, he only arranged for his wife and children to return to the capital to celebrate his birthday.

In the main hall of the Yun family, Master Yun and Madam Yun sat upright on the armchairs at the top, while the people from the second branch of the Shen family knelt respectfully below and formally saluted the two elders.

When Old Lady Yun saw her daughter and grandchildren whom she had not seen for a long time, her eyes became wet with excitement and tears kept falling.

She could not control her emotions and could only quietly wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Mom, it's rare for Shuxuan and the others to come back. Why are you crying again?" Madam Yun said softly to comfort her.

Madam Yun gently wiped away the tears from her face, her voice choking with sobs: "Mother is so happy! Don't kneel down, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up.

Madam Yun took Yun Shuxuan's hand and looked at her carefully. "My son has lost weight, but what grievances did he suffer in the Shen family?"

Yun Shuxuan shook her head. "My daughter is doing well in the Shen family. She just misses her father and mother, so she has lost weight."

Madam Yun nodded. "That's good. As long as you are doing well, your father and I will be relieved."

At this time, the maid brought tea and snacks. Madam Yun II's eyes fell on Shen Chuning and asked with a smile, "This lovely little girl my sister brought back is the newly adopted Chu Ning, right?"

Shen Chuning obediently performed a standard squatting ceremony and replied softly, "A Ning greets my second aunt."

Madam Yun walked over to Shen Chuning with a smile on her face and gently took her hand. "That's great! When you were still in the Shen family's third branch, your mother always praised you to the highest heavens. Today, I finally see you in person."

As she spoke, she took off a warm, snow-white bracelet from her hand and carefully put it on Shen Chuning's wrist.

"This pair of bracelets originally came as a pair. I gave one to your cousin Jun Qiu, and I was planning to leave the other one for my future daughter-in-law. But after seeing you today, I really liked you so much that I wanted to give it to you. As for the other gifts, I've already had them delivered to your yard."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuning hurriedly took the bracelet off her hand and tried to return it to Madam Yun Er: "Second aunt, I can't accept this bracelet."
