Chapter 75 Leaving the House
Because he had stayed with Shen Shuhan all night last night, Shen Shuyi got up even later today.
Fortunately, everyone got up late, so Old Madam Shen and Qin Xuerong did not ask everyone in each room to greet them, which allowed Shen Shuyi to sleep a little longer.
At three quarters past nine, after Shen Shuyi had breakfast, he asked someone to go to Qin Xuerong for permission, saying that he had not been back to Beijing for a long time and wanted to go out for a walk.
Because she was suspected of mistreating the legitimate children, there was no reason for Qin Xuerong to refuse at this moment.
"Madame Wang, go get twenty taels of silver and tell Sister Yi that she doesn't have to rush back. If she sees anything she likes, she can buy some." Qin Xuerong spoke in a gentle voice, her eyes full of love.
Jinzhu was delighted and said respectfully, "I, your servant, thank you, Madam, on behalf of the young lady!"
Qin Xuerong said gently, "Sister Yi is not familiar with the capital. You can go with Sister Zhen next time. Sister Zhen is naughty and knows a lot about the various places in the capital."
"Yes, the second lady will be happy when she knows this." Jinzhu said with a smile.
"Go, and bring two more maids and old women with you. Don't offend the noble, and don't let others offend you." Qin Xuerong said in a gentle voice.
After Jinzhu left, Qin Xuerong let out a long breath and her face darkened.
Nanny Wang stared at Jinzhu's back and said, "The Second Miss is in a good mood. She still has the energy to go out for a stroll when the family is in turmoil."
Qin Xuerong sneered, "She just won a battle, so she's naturally happy and proud. This is just a demonstration to me."
Suppressing the irritation in her heart, Qin Xuerong asked again: "Has the master returned from court?"
Shen Jingchuan investigated for a long time overnight, but he had to go to court as usual in the morning, so the matter of inviting the doctor had not yet come to a conclusion.
Although Qin Xuerong was confident that the matter was not too serious, she was still afraid that someone would be short-sighted and let Shen Jingchuan realize that something was wrong.
"Not yet. I've asked the gatekeeper to keep an eye on it and report to me immediately if there's any news." Nanny Wang bowed.
Qin Xuerong rubbed her temples and lowered her voice and said, "Send someone to the ancestral hall to give An Ge'er some medicine so that he can use it later."
"Yes."

After getting the consent, Shen Shuyi took Nanny Fang and four maids and walked out of the gate of Shangshu Mansion.
The sun was shining brightly that day, sweeping away the continuous rain and cloudy weather of the previous period. After the weather cleared up completely, the autumn heat was still a bit hot.
Shen Shuyi plans to pick two shops of his own to try.
Although the shop was her mother's dowry, it was now in Qin Xuerong's hands. She had to find out the situation first before she could find a way to get it back.
Shen Shuyi first went to a restaurant. The restaurant had three floors and a good location, right in the bustling area of the capital.
As soon as he saw Shen Shuyi, the waiter greeted her warmly: "Miss, please come in! Would you like to sit in the lobby or in the private room?"
"A seat by the window in the lobby on the second floor." Nanny Fang walked in front and spoke first.
"Okay! This way, please!"
The waiter led the way in front, and Shen Shuyi looked around as she walked. She had never been to this restaurant before, or rather, she had never had the chance to come here.
It's almost noon now, and there are quite a lot of people here.
Most of the people on the first floor are ordinary people, while the second floor is mostly occupied by wealthy families because of the extra tea fee.
The overall look is clean and tidy, and the price is not expensive.
Shen Shuyi casually ordered some snacks and tea, and looked around calmly.
Nanny Fang whispered, "This restaurant has a good location. When it was in Madam's hands, its annual income was among the top few. In the past few years, the shop has been in Qin Xuerong's hands, so I'm afraid it has made a lot of money."
Nanny Fang is an old lady who follows Zhao Derong. Shen Shuyi brought her here specially and had a detailed understanding with her before coming.
The dowry of ordinary people is mostly gold, silver, pearls, jade and farms in the suburbs, and they usually don’t have much property in the city.
But Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is an exception, or rather, Zhao Derong’s dowry is an exception.
My maternal grandfather had made great contributions in following the late emperor, and he was highly valued by the late emperor. Naturally, the Qingyuan Marquisate naturally prospered and became prominent.
In addition, the family is good at business, wealthy and powerful.
As the legitimate daughter of a marquis, Zhao Derong's dowry was naturally no less generous. It was eighty-eight loads of dowry, including a farm in the suburbs and a shop in the city, which could be said to be exceptionally generous.
However, the good times did not last long. The late emperor was seriously ill due to years of war, which damaged his body. Several princes inevitably fell into a battle for the throne.
Although the Qingyuan Marquisate had no intention of taking sides, it was forced to be tied to the same boat with the Second Prince because its eldest uncle was chosen by the late emperor as the Second Prince's companion in his early years.
The Second Prince was the elder brother of the current emperor. Although he lacked talent and strategy and had no ambition to be emperor, he did not help Emperor Qianwu. Instead, he always supported the First Prince, which made Emperor Qianwu, who was the Eighth Prince at the time, quite angry and sad.
Although the Qingyuan Marquisate was unwilling to participate in the fight for the throne, the Second Prince trusted and respected his uncle very much. Since his uncle was loyal and righteous, he would naturally serve him at his beck and call.
Unfortunately, the eldest prince's faction was defeated in the end, and the second prince also died in the turmoil. Since then, Emperor Qianwu ascended the throne, and the Qingyuan Marquisate also fell into decline because of this struggle for the throne.
Fortunately, Emperor Qianwu did not liquidate the Qingyuan Marquisate. However, because the mansion belonged to the eldest prince's lineage, it has never been reused over the years.
Others took advantage of the situation and for a while, the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion was deserted. Although it had the name of a marquis' mansion, it had no real power and gradually became an empty shell.

While Shen Shuyi was thinking, Jiang Lian and Jiang Li got the news and came over.
"Miss Shen!" Jiang Lian's eyes turned red when she saw Shen Shuyi. Jiang Li remained silent, holding a long knife in his arms, without saying a word.
Seeing the two of them, Shen Shuyi curved his lips and smiled: "Sit down."
She looked carefully at Jiang Lian in front of her. She was still dressed as a man, but she was much taller than before, with more flesh on her face. Her hair was neatly combed, and although her clothes were not very good, they were much better than before.
"I have never thanked you for saving my life." Jiang Lian choked.
No one knew how helpless and desperate she was that day. If it weren't for Shen Shuyi, she would have turned into a ravaged corpse by now.
Shen Shuyi pushed the snacks in front of her and Jiang Li and said softly, "You've already thanked me."
Jiang Lian shook her head, choking with sobs and wanting to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
Shen Shuyi gently touched her head: "It's all over. Now you are still alive and well, but they are all dead."
That’s right, after Jiang Li recovered from his injuries, they all died in those few days.
Shen Shuyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If that kind of scum were alive, more people would suffer.
Jiang Lian nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.
Shen Shuyi looked at Jiang Li and whispered, "How is Song Tingshan doing?"
Jiang Li said straightforwardly: "He has been in and out of the Qin residence frequently recently, and seems to be interested in marrying Shen Jingyu."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi's eyes turned cold. Tsk, this eldest sister who is the best in the capital is really very popular.
As the matter of the Wang family had not yet been settled, Song Tingshan had already been thinking about this marriage.
