The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry
Chapter 124 Leaving Yongning Marquis Mansion
Marquis Yongning looked at Shen Qionghua steadily, but Shen Qionghua was not afraid to meet his gaze at all.
After a while, Yongning Hou finally laughed in a low, hoarse voice, "Sister Hua has grown up, has her own ideas, and can now support the Shen family."
"Since you've made up your mind to move out, it's not right for me, your uncle, to forcibly stop you, so just do as you wish."
"Thank you very much, My Lord." Shen Qionghua said.
Yongning Hou suddenly turned around and glanced at Lin Wanru, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, and said: "You must take good care of your mother and Ayi."
"Of course." Shen Qionghua nodded.
Things have come to this point. Marquis Yongning, as the head of the family, has spoken. No matter how unwilling the others are, they dare not say anything with so many ministers present.
Marquis Yongning's son died, and he still had to force himself to see the guests off. Shen Qionghua was afraid that the night would be long and full of troubles, so he immediately took Lin Wanru and Shen Yi back to Yunmengxuan to pack up.
Luo Xiyao was worried and ignored Zhou Lingyi's resentful look. She followed him to Yunmengxuan and said that he would accompany her to pack up and leave Yongning Marquis Mansion.
As a man, Xie Nanyuan couldn't get too close to Shen Qionghua openly. Anyway, with Luo Xiyao around, he thought that Marquis Yongning wouldn't dare to go back on his word, so he took Linze back to the palace.
As soon as Shen Qionghua and his group returned to Yunmengxuan, Shaoyao and Gancao started packing their things with happy faces.
Some time ago, Shen Qionghua used the excuse of tidying up the warehouse to order Shaoyao and Gancao to pack up all the things of the Shen family. Now they only needed to pack the personal belongings of the mother and daughter.
The maids around her were very efficient and finished packing everything in just one hour.
Shaoyao and Gancao were so angry that they even took down things like the bed curtains and tablecloths and took them away.
In Shaoyao's words, the tablecloths are all made of Huanhua brocade that costs dozens of taels per piece, so why should they be kept to benefit the Marquis' Mansion?
Ah Fu hurried in and said, "Miss, the rental fleet has arrived."
Shen Qionghua stood up, glanced around, and said with satisfaction: "Then let's move."
At her command, the servants of the Shen family all started moving, starting from the warehouse and moving boxes one by one to the gate of Yongning Hou.
Fortunately, there were enough rented carriages, dozens of them were packed full, and they left the Yongning Marquis Mansion in a grand manner.
Shen Qionghua sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked back.
The red silk covering the solemn and dignified gate of the Yongning Marquis Mansion has been removed and replaced with a white sail.
She had hung such white sails three times with her own hands in her previous life.
Putting away her sad emotions, Shen Qionghua lowered the car curtain.
Some people looked at the long convoy coming out of the Yongning Marquis Mansion with confusion on their faces.
"This... there are so many things. I only heard that today is the sixtieth birthday of the Yongning Marquis's wife, but I haven't heard that she is going to marry off a daughter."
"Oh, you don't know yet. The birthday banquet at the Yongning Marquis's mansion can't be held today. The eldest daughter was caught in adultery in public, the second young master drowned in the pond, and the old lady and the marquis' wife have both fainted and haven't woken up yet! Look, the red silk has turned into white sails."
"Ah! This is too tragic. A good birthday party has turned into this. But what are they doing now?" The man asked, pointing at the convoy.
"You don't know this, do you? The wife of the Marquis of Yongning took in her widowed concubine's family. Now that her son is dead, she insists that her own son shouldn't have died, and that it was her concubine's son who should have died, and she wants that son to pay for his life!"
"Ah—no way, isn't it said that the Marquis's wife treats her concubine's family with all her heart and soul?"
The man waved his hand and sneered, "You're the only one who believes this kind of rumor. Look, the Shen family is so scared that they're moving immediately, fearing that the young master of the Shen family will be killed."
"So these are all the Shen family's things? I can't believe this Shen family is quite wealthy."
"What do you know? The Shen family is not ordinary rich. Treasure Pavilion knows it, right?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"The Treasure Pavilion and the dozens of shops on West Street all belong to the Shen family. They are extremely wealthy, and their daily turnover might be hundreds of thousands of taels."
"Ah—really?"
The man rolled his eyes. "How could I possibly lie to you? Otherwise, why do you think the Marquis' wife insisted on letting the Shen family, who hold such enormous wealth, move into the Yongning Marquis's residence? Could it be that she really wanted to take care of her concubine's family, whom she hadn't seen in over a decade?"
“You…you mean…!”
Words like these spread in all directions with Yongning Marquis Mansion as the center. By the time Yongning Marquis Mansion reacted, it was too late to stop it.
-
The cold wind was so sharp that it hurt my nose, but it couldn't cover up the heat in my heart.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a magnificent mansion. Fuling had been waiting at the door for a long time after receiving the news.
At this moment, he came forward with a smile, his voice full of unconcealed joy, "Madam, Miss, Master, you are finally here."
Shen Qionghua walked out of the carriage after hearing the cheerful tone. Shaoyao helped her get off the carriage, and then went to help Lin Wanru and her son and Luo Xiyao who were behind.
Shen Qionghua looked up at the words "Shen Mansion" on the plaque, and a hint of warmth welled up in her eyes.
From now on, this is their home, their real home.
Shen Qionghua looked at Fuling and smiled, "You've worked hard."
He had to clean up the house, hire servants, and go to Shidinglou to help from time to time.
Fuling waved her hands repeatedly, "It's not hard, it's not hard. Miss, you're not here, and I've really experienced the feeling of a monkey claiming to be king when there's no tiger in the mountain."
When Shaoyao and Licorice heard her say this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Wanru looked at the mansion in front of her, and was in a trance for a moment. She said, "Sister Hua, did you prepare this mansion a long time ago?"
Shen Qionghua smiled and nodded, "This was originally the Shen family's residence, but it hasn't been lived in for a long time. I asked Fuling to come over in advance to buy some maids and servants to tidy up the yard."
"Okay, okay." Lin Wanru nodded repeatedly, and then her eyes were filled with guilt. She said, "It's all my fault. I trusted others too easily. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to do this..."
"Mother!" Shen Qionghua interrupted her and comforted her, "You were also kept in the dark at the beginning. You were also thinking about Ayi and hoped that he could receive guidance from the great scholar. Your daughter understands everything."
Lin Wanru nodded with a sob.
"Mom, let's go in and take a look. From now on, this is our home." Shen Qionghua tried to speak in a cheerful tone.
The group entered the mansion.
This mansion covers a large area, and there are few masters in the Shen family, so they can live in an open space without having to squeeze into a courtyard like they do in the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Shen Qionghua chose a small courtyard, and Shaoyao and Gancao were busy taking out Shen Qionghua's personal belongings from the boxes and arranging them in order.
After everything was tidied up, Shen Qionghua looked at Luo Xiyao with an apologetic look on her face, "Xiyao, I'm really sorry. You helped me today, but I'm in such a mess that I can't entertain you properly."
Luo Xiyao waved her hand and said generously, "You don't have to be so formal with me. You left that damn place and moved into a new home today. I'm happy for you."
Shen Qionghua smiled when she heard this and said, "Stay for dinner today. I've ordered a table to be delivered. Just think of it as you staying with me to warm up. Once I've taken care of all the things in the mansion, I'll send you an invitation to come over and play."
Of course Luo Xiyao refused disrespectfully.
As the sun set, Luo Xiyao said goodbye after dinner.
When Shen Qionghua stepped over the threshold, she saw Shen Yi standing not far away, looking at her hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.
Shen Qionghua was startled, walked over and said, "Ayi, what's wrong?"
"Sister, I... I will definitely become stronger in the future. I will protect you and mother and make sure they don't dare to bully us!" Shen Yi said with a firm look in his eyes.
Shen Qionghua smiled and nodded, "Sister believes you can do it, but you are still young now, so you don't have to worry about these things. Sister will protect you and mother."
"Your most important thing now is to study hard. Once things are settled in the mansion, I will arrange your schooling."
Shen Yi's face was originally full of determination, but when he heard Shen Qionghua mention going to school, he instantly became stiff. He rolled his eyes and said with a vague look: "Sister, I'm going back to my room first."
He left in a flash.
Shen Qionghua looked at Shen Yi's back and shook her head helplessly.
Shen Qionghua returned to her room and waved away the rest of the servants. An Yi then walked out from the dark and threw the person in his hand to the ground.
The person on the ground was wearing a maid's clothes, her hands and feet were tied, and a piece of rag was stuffed in her mouth. She looked at Shen Qionghua with fear in her eyes.
It’s Angelica dahurica!
