Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Shen Li looked helplessly at her grandfather and then at her uncle.

After all, the pillars of the family come from military backgrounds, so they should not be so soft-hearted and should be more rational.

It's really not suitable to live here at this time.

The old man pondered for a moment, then slowly said to the general, "What Li'er said makes a lot of sense. Shen Zhaojiang is now a third-rank Dali Temple official, and his second wife is the daughter of the Prime Minister. He's also from the Yao family of the Chongguo Mansion, and the Yao family is backed by the Empress Dowager and the Second Prince. Without solid evidence and if he doesn't admit it, we really can't punish him."

"On the other hand, if he turns the tables and blames us, no matter who he suffers in the future, it will be considered our fault, which will be disadvantageous to us. Let's do as Li'er said, pretend we know nothing, and carry on as usual. We'll take our time and let them enjoy themselves for a while before we act."

Turning to look at Shen Li, the old man's face was full of relief, "Li'er is so smart, grandpa believes that Li'er can protect herself."

After saying this, the old man's eyes became sharp again, and he said to the general, "Send a few secret guards to the Shen family to protect Li'er, and send two maids to the Shen residence to take care of Li'er's daily life. No matter where Li'er goes, the secret guards and maids must be by her side, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes, son, I understand. I will arrange it right away," said General Fang.

After a moment's thought, the general called out to the outside, "Call Qiluo and Qili over."

Soon two girls came. They both looked very ordinary, with big hands and feet, and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot.

"From today on, you two will follow your cousin. She is your master. As long as your cousin is here, you will be here too. If anything happens to your cousin..."

"We have brought the head to see you." The two of them said to the general in a loud voice.

Then he knelt down in front of Shen Li and kowtowed three times.

Shen Li fell in love with these two girls at once.

Sometimes, the fate between people really doesn’t require too many words.

Pinellia also liked it very much. She happily pushed Perilla and made faces at her.

The General’s Mansion is really nice.

The old master and the old lady were good, the general was good, the general's wife and Miss Mingwan were good, and now even the maidservant given to the girl was so kind. She and Zisu could rest assured that someone would protect the girl with them.

Mingwan was the only one who was most unhappy here.

He rubbed his way to Shen Li's side, lowered his head and said nothing, but his hand kept pulling at Shen Li's clothes, and his face showed that he didn't want her to leave.

"Don't worry, cousin. I'm staying at the Shen Mansion, and it's not like I can't come out. I'll come here often when I have nothing to do. I can also go shopping with you and go up the mountain to burn incense. As long as you like, I can go with you."

"Really?" Mingwan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course it's true," Shen Li liked this cousin very much.

She is simple and kind, completely different from the girls in the Shen family who look down on her. As a top agent, she doesn't know how to play with little girls, but she knows how to please them.

Didn’t ancient women look forward to shopping, visiting temples, or attending banquets?

This does not conflict with her purpose of returning to Beijing, and may even be helpful.

As long as her cousin likes, she will accompany her.

"That's great, thank you cousin." Ming Wan hugged Shen Li's arm affectionately and shook it again and again.

It feels so good to have a sister, much better than those two brothers who always play tricks on me.

The whole family surrounded Shen Li, with endless words to say and endless looks to see.

After lunch, the general called Shen Li into the study and showed her the secret guards assigned to her.

"Ancient Da, ancient roads, ancient characters, ancient paintings."

Okay, Shen Li kept it in mind.

Gurgle, grunt, ancient calligraphy and paintings.

The four secret guards all bowed to Shen Li: "Subordinates greet cousin."

The general looked at Shen Li with joy.

My niece was not at all nervous and didn't show any surprise when she saw the secret guard. She acted as if it was something very common.

How could he know that when Shen Li met the secret guard, she felt a sense of familiarity as if she had met a comrade-in-arms. This was not uncommon.

"From now on, you guys are responsible for protecting my cousin day and night. Do you know what to do?"

"I understand, General, please rest assured."

"Okay, my cousin and I still have something to say, you guys go down first."

The secret guards turned and left, closing the door.

"Li'er, you haven't seen your father since you came back this time, right?" General Fang asked.

"No," Shen Li answered honestly, "After the scene yesterday, Zhao asked Madam Li to take us to the courtyard they had arranged for us. No one disturbed us until we fell asleep. This morning, Granny Sun even came over to say there was no need to pay respects to the old lady. Li'er was happy not to see them, so she came over here after breakfast."

General Fang nodded. "Shen Zhaojiang is out on a case and won't be back for a while. This time I'll give you Qiluo and Qili. Qiluo is good at using poison to detoxify. From now on, your food, clothing, housing and transportation must be checked by her. Otherwise, don't easily eat anything brought to you by the Shen family. As for Qili, she is best at disguise and light martial arts. They are both orphans rescued from the battlefield by my uncle. They are loyal and devoted, so you can use them with confidence. When you return to the Shen family in the future, you must put your own safety first and don't take risks easily. As long as you are alive, there will always be a chance for revenge. Do you understand what my uncle means?"

"Li'er understands, uncle, please rest assured."

Coming to the General's Mansion today, Shen Li seemed to have been compensated for the regrets of being lonely in two lives, and her heart felt more at ease than ever before.

If this is family love, she is willing to accept it with all her heart.

"That's good," General Fang finally couldn't help himself and reached out to pat Shen Li on the head, just like treating his daughter when she was little. He didn't dare to use force, but his heart was full of this little girl. "The year your mother disappeared, your uncle was already ten years old. I still remember what your mother looked like..."

His eyes became moist again.

"The first words she learned were 'Brother, feed me.'" The general blinked, his nose sore. "She loved eating candied haws and red sugar cakes. She never ate them again, after being banished to the village for all those years, right until her death?"

I dare not think about it, let alone say it. If I continue, my heart will be so painful that I can't breathe.

"The feud between Shen Zhaojiang and our Fang family will last forever. I am very grateful that you can remember your mother's grievances. But Shen Zhaojiang is your father after all. If one day he asks you to let him go, don't make it difficult for me. I don't blame you. Let me take care of avenging my sister. You can just be your little girl and eat when you are hungry and play when you are tired..."

How could a niece who had suffered since childhood be allowed to kill her father?

Just let him bear the responsibility for such sins.

He was a rough man who could kill enemies on the battlefield without blinking an eye. Killing a few members of the Shen family would be much easier for him than chopping melons.

Shen Li felt so warm in her heart.

The feelings towards relatives and enemies are indeed different.

When she entered the Shen family yesterday, what was their attitude towards her?

When she came to the Fang family today, what was their attitude towards her?

The first thing the Fang family thought about was not how to let her take revenge, but her safety and her dilemma.

Everyone here is thinking about her and has prepared various escape routes for her, fearing that she will disappear from their sight again.

She truly felt how much they cherished her.

Relatives like this are relatives. What does it have to do with a surname or blood relationship?
