Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2589: Atonement for Sins 52.0
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and shook their heads at Song Yaojia.

"What do you two mean by this?" Song Yaojia jumped a few times on the spot, shook his arms, kicked his legs, and said, "Am I wrong?"

"It's not wrong, but your words and deeds clearly have a hidden meaning." Shen Cha helped Shen Haolin stand up and walked slowly in the big tent. "You heard what we said and thought that Miss Sun from the Zeng family might have plotted against you, right?"

"Isn't it obvious? Since my father and uncle have been alarmed, isn't there a conspiracy?" Song Yaojia spread his hands, looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Shen Cha, "I don't like this feeling. There is no sincerity between people. If I spend my whole life with such a person, I feel tired just thinking about it. Instead of this, it's better to be alone. As for our branch of the palace, we can just adopt one from others. For example, if Xiaojue has a few more children, can't I adopt them and inherit the throne?"

"You do think it through, but everyone lives this way, don't they?"

"I know what you said. Royal children have no right to find their so-called true love, but I also envy the relationship between my aunt and uncle, and the relationship between Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue, as well as the relationship between my uncle and aunt." He sighed softly, watching Shen Cha boxing slowly, and followed suit. "I originally thought that the young lady of the Zeng family might be my destiny, but now it seems that this is probably not the case. It's better not to have a calculated destiny."

"Don't jump to conclusions!" Shen Cha smiled. "When the Zeng family returns to Beijing, if the young lady of the Zeng family is not married yet, you can make an appointment to talk and resolve this knot. Of course, even if she is married, you can still talk, but it's really not meant to be."

"The Zeng family." Shen Haolin sighed and said, "They also have a secret. Before leaving Beijing, Mr. Zeng met with Master once."

"Mr. Zeng and uncle? What are they talking about?"

Shen Cha and Song Yaojia looked at each other. Although they were surprised, they still did not stop boxing, and they were very serious with every move.

"Mr. Zeng agrees with Master's views, so he would chat with Master from time to time. However, he also knew that the content of the chat would be passed on to the late emperor and His Majesty through Master, Uncle Dai Wang, and the Queen Mother. But he didn't care. What they said did not involve state affairs, so it would not be a big deal if it was spread out."

"What did they say?"

"I want to find good grandsons-in-law for my granddaughters." Shen Haolin looked at Song Yaojia who had stopped talking. "Don't stop. Keep going. I made a few mistakes just now. Let's start over."

"Just tell me what you have to say, don't make me anxious."

Song Yaojia watched Shen Cha wave at him, and followed her to perform the same set of punches again.

"Mr. Zeng knows that you have some connections with his granddaughter, and that you two have a crush on each other, but whether it's Mr. Zeng, Master, or Uncle Wang, they are all dissatisfied with each other." "Dissatisfied?" Song Yaojia was stunned, "Why?"

"You will definitely succeed Uncle Wang as the next King of Dai and take charge of the entire Dai Palace. Although you don't have real power, the Dai Palace's position in the court is unshakable. You are His Majesty's absolute right-hand man. Mr. Zeng has never liked the powerful and wealthy, so naturally he would not want his granddaughter to become the person he hates the most."

"Uncle Emperor and Uncle Wang don't like the Zeng family because Mr. Zeng is the Supervisory Censor and now he is the Circuit Censor in Jiangnan." Shen Cha sighed, "No one in the Censorate is a good person. Although Mr. Zeng is always against the matter, he has been keeping an eye on us. In the whole of Daxia, I'm afraid there is no one else who is willing to marry someone from the Censorate, except for those students who are going to Beijing for the exam."

"I know this." Song Yaojia nodded, "A family like ours would never choose them as in-laws." He sighed softly and looked at Shen Haolin, "Mr. Zeng's sudden departure from Beijing may have something to do with this, right?"

"Not really. His transfer has already been in the process, and it was ready half a year ago. It's just that they had to spend the New Year in Beijing, so they ran into that accident." Shen Haolin waved his hand and said, "They were just discussing that if you have been separated for so many years, and one of you has not married, and the other has not married, but you still miss each other, it means that you may really be destined to be together. In this case, Zeng Lao has also expressed his attitude to Master, and he has no objection. Not only does he not object, he knows that with his identity as an imperial censor, he cannot marry into the royal family, so he has thought about it. When the time comes, he will ask Master for a favor and separate the eldest daughter's family, let them set up their own house, and let Miss Sun take her father's surname. In this way, their family has nothing to do with the Zeng family, and no one can gossip about marrying into the palace again." Shen Haolin looked at Song Yaojia, who had successfully completed a set of boxing, and chuckled, "From this point of view, Zeng Lao is still satisfied with you."

"Why didn't you say these words just now? You made me worry for a long time in vain."

"What's the impact of saying it now? You still have a knot in your heart. If you don't untie it..." Shen Cha continued to perform the second set of punches and raised an eyebrow at Song Yaojia, "No matter how satisfied you are, there's no chance for you, right?"

"." Song Yaojia was speechless after being confronted by Shen Cha, and could only nod his head gently, "If you can be honest, maybe it really works, but if not." He shook his head gently, "I don't need to force it, anyway, it's already like this now, right?"

"Are you planning to just throw the jar into the ground?"

"Not really!" Song Yaojia cleaned up at last, shook his arms, and said, "After this lunch, it seems that my obsession with this is not as deep as before. I feel a little more at ease." He walked to the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "I can't be willful. I always have to consider my family and my reputation, right? So, let it go and do what needs to be done."

"I'm glad you figured it out." Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"

"No plans. I'm going to go next door to see my uncle and the old lady to see what they are doing recently and whether they need our help." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow. "By the way, I'll check Hongye's achievements these days, see if Xiaoqi and Ning Cheng have made any progress these days, and see if Ning's sister has any new varieties of snacks to try."

"This is the main purpose, right?" Shen Haolin stood up. "I'll go with you. Yao Jia should go too?"

"Okay!" Song Yaojia nodded, "I haven't seen them since I came here, let's meet them too!"
