Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

In less than half an hour, Shen Qingge had returned to his own home.

Now, the entire Shen family has been pardoned and freed from the status of exiled criminals, and she herself has been promoted to General of the Cavalry.

Because of this, she was granted a mansion on the main street, not far from the former Lingnan Palace, now renamed the Nanyue Palace.

It is worth mentioning that this mansion is not a newly built house, but originally belonged to the county supervisor Cao Rui.

Not long ago, when Xiao Heng vigorously investigated the corruption and bribery of ministers in the court, this mansion was confiscated.

Although Cao County Supervisor was corrupt, he often liked to do some pretentious things on weekdays.

Therefore, the decoration style of the entire mansion cannot be called luxurious, but it reveals an elegant atmosphere everywhere. Moreover, the mansion is neither too big nor too small, and it is relatively new.

So, when Shen Qingge took over this place, he simply arranged for the new servants in the family to clean every corner of the mansion carefully, and changed the plaque of the mansion to "Shen Mansion", and then brought his grandmother and others over from Xishui Lane.

There are also some exquisite and beautifully shaped rockery and gardens inside the mansion.

On weekdays, whenever Shen Qingge passed by these places, he would involuntarily stop to admire them and linger for a while.

Unfortunately, she was in a bad mood today and had no mind to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Instead, she walked straight through the winding corridor and quickly walked into her room.

It was noon at this time, and the whole family was enjoying lunch in the main living room, having a great time.

The new housekeeper Lu came over in a hurry.

He was breathing heavily and reported to his grandmother who was sitting in the main seat:

"Madam, the general is back!"

Everyone looked up at the sound, and Grandmother asked in confusion:

"Hey, why is Ge'er coming home at this time?

Is there nothing to deal with in the palace and the guard camp?"

Butler Lu quickly replied:

"Madam, I don't know the details.

However, I remember that I seemed to have heard the general mention it yesterday, saying that after the morning court session today, the general would be able to take a day off.

I just didn't expect that this morning court session would last so long, it's already noon!"

At this time, sister-in-law Wang Lan quickly opened her mouth and ordered the maid beside her:

"Xiao Cui, go get another set of bowls and chopsticks. I guess my little sister hasn't eaten yet!"

Then he turned to look at Butler Lu and asked:

"Butler Lu, have you invited the general to dinner?"

Steward Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head, answering truthfully:

"Madam, I have naturally asked the general for his opinion.

But the general said she was not hungry at the moment and did not want to eat.

And looking at her appearance, it seems that she has encountered some troubles!"

Hearing this, Grandma frowned slightly and murmured to herself worriedly:

"Really? What kind of trouble could have made Ge'er so angry that she even refused to eat.

Ge'er has never been the type to act capriciously and throw tantrums!"

Seeing this, sister-in-law Wang Lan volunteered to stand up and said:

"Why don't you let me go and take a look? Maybe I can help."

However, my grandmother waved her hand gently and said:

"Let the second one go and take a look.

Boss, you have a quick temper. If you're not careful, not only will you not be able to get to the bottom of things, but you might even irritate her!"

"Okay, okay, then let our second sister, who is the most gentle, kind and considerate, go!

As for me, I continued to enjoy this delicious meal. Oh my, the soup today is so delicious!

The rich and mellow taste is simply irresistible.”

After saying that, the sister-in-law smacked her lips in satisfaction, then happily picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

"You're so talkative!" Grandma scolded with a faint smile.

The second sister-in-law Ye Yurou, who was "named" by her grandmother, also responded with a smile:

"Okay, Grandma, I'll be right there."

After saying that, she put a few more mouthfuls of food into her mouth.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up, adjusted her skirt, took the food box handed to her by the maid, and then walked towards the room in the backyard.

……

At this moment, Shen Qingge was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent.

She paced back and forth in the room, just to calm herself down and cool down her anger.

After a while, she picked up the teacup on the table and drank one cup after another.

The warm tea slowly slid down her throat, but the annoyance in her heart was like a stubborn weed, and did not fade away at all.

So she simply put down the teacup, reached out to pick up the long sword leaning against the wall, walked to the small courtyard outside the wing room, and started dancing with the sword.

As she danced, dead leaves fell one after another, shaken off by her powerful sword energy. A breeze blew by at the right time, blowing the fallen leaves all over the sky, like a golden rain curtain, a beautiful sight.

Just then, my second sister-in-law Ye Yurou happened to arrive at the gate of the courtyard.

She saw Shen Qingge dancing with a sword in the yard at a glance, and was attracted by the scene in front of her, with admiration in her eyes.

Ye Yurou approached Shen Qingge slowly and quietly, and after he had stopped and stood still, she softly praised him:

"My little sister's sword dance is truly beautiful!"

Hearing the praise from the second sister-in-law, Shen Qingge was slightly startled, then forced a smile: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Ye Yurou smiled and replied:

"Just now, Steward Lu told us that you are back.

Grandmother knew you hadn't eaten yet and was worried you were hungry, so she sent me over to bring you some food."

As she spoke, Ye Yurou raised the food box in her hand and gestured to Shen Qingge.

However, Shen Qingge shook his head and waved his hand quickly:

"I'm not hungry, sister-in-law. Let me take the lunch box in first. I'll eat when I'm hungry later!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and wanted to take the food box from her second sister-in-law.

Seeing this, Ye Yurou looked at Shen Qingge steadily and found that although Shen Qingge had a smile on her face, her eyes clearly revealed a hint of anger. It was obvious that she was trying hard to hide her emotions.

Ye Yurou sighed softly, stretched out a hand and gently stroked the back of Shen Qingge's hand, and said in a firm tone:

"No, little sister, even if you don't feel hungry now, you should at least eat something.

Don't let your grandmother down for her concern for you."

Before she finished speaking, she took Shen Qingge's hand and walked into the room.

Shen Qingge was reluctant at first, but he couldn't persuade her, so he had to open the food box in front of her.

There were several delicious dishes inside, but for her who was in a bad mood at the moment, these delicious dishes had lost their former appeal.

Then she picked up her chopsticks absentmindedly and chewed the food in small bites.

Every bite was like chewing wax, with no taste at all.

The second sister-in-law sat quietly beside her, watching her eat silently, and from time to time she would considerately pick up a few of her favorite dishes for her with her chopsticks.

I have to say, there is really no trouble in this world that cannot be solved by a delicious meal. If there is, then have a few more meals!

After taking a few bites of food, Shen Qingge's restless heart actually calmed down a lot.

The second sister-in-law had been paying attention to her expression. When she saw her brows relax a little, she knew the time had come, so she cautiously opened her mouth and tried to test it:

"Little sister, seeing how you look today, are you in trouble?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingge's movements suddenly froze. After a moment of silence, he slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and said softly:

"Second sister-in-law, tell me, some people usually seem to be very gentle and calm, but why do they suddenly get angry for no apparent reason?"
