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

It was midsummer, and the sun rose brightly every day, making it so hot that people didn't even want to leave the house.

After Shen Shaokun's leg was reconnected, Zhao sent him to the old house to recuperate. Her son was in great pain and scolded Shen Li. She was afraid that Shen Li would find out and break her son's leg again in anger, which would completely cripple his leg.

Only by sending him away, far away, so that Shen Li can't hear any scolding, will his son be safest.

Ever since beating Shen Shaokun, Shen Li has become a person that no one in the mansion dares to offend.

Qili and Zisu accompanied her to visit the back garden, and happened to meet Shen Yan and Shen Lin. The two were like mice seeing a cat, not daring to raise their heads, and stood obediently by the road to let her go first.

After walking through it, Shen Li herself sighed, "If I had known that beating them up would make me feel so good, I should have done it as soon as I returned to Beijing."

Qili smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Zi Su said worriedly, "It's easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against a hidden one. You have to be careful, young lady. When we first came back, we wanted them to let down their guard and reveal their true colors. Backing down then wouldn't be a disadvantage, and the same applies to getting back at them now."

"By the way," Qili said as they walked towards the center of the garden while chatting, "The old lady of the Guanyong Marquis's mansion is now well again. In a few days, we're inviting several young ladies from familiar families in the capital to visit us. Have you thought of any gifts to bring, young ladies?"

Shen Li walked to the waterside pavilion and sat down, looking down at the fish in the water.

"Don't worry, I have what the old lady needs most. Don't worry."

She has a medicine box and space.

As long as she goes into the space and holds the medicine box and prays, the medicine she needs will appear, and it always works.

The medicines left for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were very effective. The palace also gave condolence gifts for Fang's burial.

She really earned Fang a grand funeral and did her best for the original owner's mother and daughter. At least her occupation of the original owner's body was not in vain.

She didn't say anything, and the two maids also sat down. They all sat quietly, feeling the coolness brought by the breeze.

Over there, a gentle voice slowly approached, "Have all the girls in the mansion received the invitations?"

Then came Shen Yao's voice, "I got it. They said everyone should go."

"This banquet is actually a token of thanks from the old lady of the Marquis of Guanyong for saving your elder sister's life. Don't act like a spoiled brat when the time comes, okay?"

"I know. My mother told me so. I heard that there were a lot of people there that day, not only girls from wealthy families, but also many sons of noble families..."

"We don't care whether they go or not," the gentle voice said. "When we get there, we should behave ourselves and stay with our aunt and the others. Don't run around."

It turned out that the person with the gentle tone was Wen Wanying, Shen Yao's cousin from her aunt's family.

"Okay," Shen Yao sounded in a good mood. She didn't refute anything her cousin said. "Cousin, I heard that the Second Prince will also be there that day. Is that true?"

Wen Wanying didn't answer, she saw Shen Li and the others.

Shen Yao came out from behind a clump of bamboo and saw it as well.

"Hello, Miss Shen," Wen Wanying bowed with a gentle smile, truly living up to her name. "Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay," Shen Li leaned lazily on the railing and turned back to feed the fish, "You guys can do whatever you want."

Seeing that she did not return the greeting, Wen Wanying's eyes flashed, and she shook her head slightly at Shen Yao, who looked a little angry, and motioned her to follow her and leave from the other side.

Zi Su looked at their backs and said softly, "I didn't expect this Miss Wen to be so polite. She's completely different from the second Miss."

Qili also looked at them, and after a while she said to Shen Li, "I think her smile is a little fake, so forget it, just ignore them and feed the fish."

When the fish food was scattered, the fish swam over, scrambled to open their mouths wide, and swallowed the food mouthful by mouthful.

After walking around the flower shed and the willow bank, Shen Yao finally stopped when she saw she was far away from the waterside pavilion. She said indignantly, "You saw how she was, didn't you? Look how arrogant she was. You greeted her, but she didn't even return the greeting. Not only did she not take you seriously, she didn't even take my mother seriously."

Wen Wanying glanced at her calmly, "Why are you so impatient? It's just right that she doesn't take it seriously. If she pretends to take it seriously, you'll have to guess what she's thinking."

Shen Yao didn't say anything else. In front of Wen Wanying, she always knew that her brain power could not keep up with hers.

"Don't you want to avenge your brother?"

Shen Yao looked up in surprise, "Cousin, do you have a solution?"

Wen Wanying raised her hand to her lips, signaling her to keep her voice down. "Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's go."

......

After finishing the business in Beijing, the emperor ordered Fang Yao to go to Mizhou in person to investigate the murder of the second master of the Yao family.

Before leaving Beijing, Fang Yao brought the dowry list to the Shen family.

Second Madam Wan was so frightened that her legs went weak when she saw Shen Li, let alone coming to see the murderous General Huoqi.

As early as when she heard that Shen Li was kept in the palace by the Queen Mother, she had been looking everywhere for the things that had been taken away. She recovered those that could be found, and compensated for those that could not be found at the price. She almost emptied her family's savings before she could get together some of the money.

Seeing Fang Yao, she didn't wait for anyone to speak, she started crying and begging for mercy, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed and had such a thought, taking away so many things from my sister-in-law. Time is short, and I have spent all my strength to make up for it to this extent. I have to ask the general for more time to make up for the rest. I will find a way to make up for it as soon as possible."

This time he spoke honestly and didn't dare to cheat or make a scene.

Fang Yao glanced at Shen Li and said to Wan: "Whether it is okay or not, my words don't count."

Wan Shi became smarter. She quickly stood up and walked to Shen Li, saying honestly: "I am sorry to my sister-in-law. Miss, please don't bear grudges. Please give me some time."

Shen Li put away the bill and said to Wan: "For the sake of my uncle, let's leave it at that. As for the rest, I hope that the Second Madam will keep her word and not let my uncle come to urge us again."

"No, no, definitely not." Wan's heart was finally at ease and she made assurances again and again.

The old lady has been sick in bed these days and has not shown up. However, she knows that she cannot afford to offend the general's mansion, so she specifically asks Shen Zhaojiang to receive the uncle well.

The banquet had already been set up at home, but Fang Yao didn't appreciate it at all. He gestured to Shen Li to see him out and turned to leave.

Zhao was secretly delighted when she saw Shen Zhaojiang's face changing colors from red to purple.

This time when going to Mizhou for business, Fang Yao wanted to ask Shen Li if there was anyone in the farm over there who needed care.

Upon hearing this, Shen Li hurriedly begged her uncle to go see Brother Dayong. Also known as Qiluo, please return to Jiaojiaoyuan quickly and bring more silver, and ask her uncle to take it to Brother Dayong.

Fang Yao told Shen Li that she went to Duke Wei's mansion yesterday to find Yuan Zhilin to ask about the matter of Master Yao Erye of Mizhou. From what Duke Wei said, it seemed that they really wanted to remarry Shen Li.

Relatively speaking, the Duke of Wei's family is simple and their family traditions are relatively upright. Judging from the fact that Yuan Zhilin apologized in front of so many people this time, this kid can still be saved. In addition, this was the marriage that his sister chose for Shen Li when she was still alive, so he did not refuse on the spot.

I came here today specifically to ask Shen Li's opinion.

When Shen Li heard this, she replied with two words without thinking: No.
