Nongmen's elder sister-in-law is the richest in the world

Chapter 915 Engagement and Shen Jianwan’s Assassination

Yes, before Shen Jianwan came to Beijing from the north, the Shen family had already come to Beijing a month in advance because Shen Xuan was going to attend this year's Spring Festival and Shen Min was getting engaged to Mo Shiyuan.

As the saying goes, lovers will eventually get married, and as Shen Jianwan expected, Shen Min and Mo Shiyuan, a pair of happy enemies, had been at odds since they met and are now getting engaged.

So this time Shen's mother and others left all the household affairs in the care of the second room of the Shen family and went to Beijing with their family. In addition to sending Shen Xuan to take the exam, they also discussed Shen Min's engagement.

Of course, they heard that Shen Jianwan and Shen Zhan were going back to the capital. According to what Emperor Xuanping said, they would probably stay in the capital to serve in the future, and the Shen family might also move to the capital to settle down.

So Shen's mother and the others had already made arrangements for Qinghe Village when they came to Beijing this time, and were ready to move to the capital.

As for the Shen family, Shen Jianwan and his wife will stay in Beijing to follow Emperor Xuanping's arrangements. Shen Xuan will also develop in the capital when he participates in Chunwei. Shen Dong, Shitou and his wife will also have a better future in the imperial examination in the capital.

And Shen Min is going to marry into the Zhongguo Duke's mansion in the capital in the future. If the Shen family doesn't stay away from this married woman, they will stay in the capital.

Therefore, Shen's mother was very reluctant to leave Qinghe Village. For the sake of the development of her children, she agreed to move without hesitation this time.

After going to Beijing to participate in the embroidery competition with Shen Wan and the others, Shen's mother no longer has stage fright, let alone Shen Xuan, Shen Dong and Shen Min. They are even less afraid of coming to Beijing.

In the month since they arrived in Beijing, no one in authority dared to look down upon them because of Shen Jianwan and Shen Zhan's status and reputation, as well as Shen Xuan's status.

Especially knowing that the Shen family will marry the Zhongguo Duke, who is deeply favored by the emperor, no one dares to offend them.

Now that Shen Jianwan and his friends have come to Beijing, Shen's mother and others have already integrated well into the Beijing circle.

Before that, Shen's mother and the others had contacted Duke Zhongguo to discuss the marriage between Mo Shiyuan and Shen Min. They only waited for Shen Jianwan and the others to arrive in Beijing and the Shen family gathered together to get engaged!

Not long after Shen Jianwan and the third day of their arrival in Beijing, the two parties held a grand engagement ceremony.

According to the Shen family's wishes, the betrothal ceremony should be formal as long as all necessary procedures are followed, but Mo Shiyuan's grandmother, the Song lord of the Zhongguo Palace, disagreed.

Because Mo Shiyuan is now the only child of the late Zhongguo Gongfu and his wife, and the only direct descendant of Zhongguo Gongfu, the old man insisted that Mo Shiyuan's engagement banquet must be a big one, and she even didn't even have to pay for the wedding banquet that the Shen family would use that day. Everything has been prepared with help, and the Shen family couldn't refuse to host the engagement banquet under such hospitality.

On the day of Shen Min and Mo Shiyuan's engagement, the entire capital was shocked.

Firstly, it was because of the continuous and generous betrothal gifts brought into the Shen family by the Zhongguo Duke's Palace, and secondly, because Emperor Xuanping actually sent his own servants to deliver congratulatory gifts that day.

In the past two years, everyone in the capital knew that Mo Shiyuan and Shen Jianwan had made a lot of money by doing business together, but when they saw the hefty betrothal gift, they were once again attracted by Mo Shiyuan's wealth and the loyalty of the Duke of Zhongguo. The background was shocked.

Emperor Xuanping personally sent a congratulatory gift, which once again showed his love for Mo Shiyuan, his "nephew", and his satisfaction and attention to his marriage.

Suddenly Shen Min became the envy of countless noble ladies in the capital.

The eldest brother is a first-class marquis, the eldest sister-in-law is a princess, and the husband she is marrying is the heir apparent of a first-class Duke. It is certain that she will become a Duke's wife in the future. She is simply the winner in the hearts of countless women.

After Shen Min's glamorous engagement party, the day for Shen Jianwan and Shen Xuan to take the exam was approaching.

Shen Jianwan took the Yashi examination for women, and Shen Xuan took the Chunwei examination for men.

One of these two examinations is the end point of the "women's imperial examination" and the other is the end point of the men's imperial examination. They are both high-profile examinations in Yamato.

Because of the Northland War, the two exams that were supposed to be held in March and April have been postponed to May. Before the exam, Shen's mother also asked Shen Jianwan and Shen Xuan to go to the Huguo Temple outside the capital to offer incense and pray for high school.

She and Mrs. Song even personally accompanied the two of them to Huguo Temple.

Faced with the enthusiasm of the two elders, especially Mrs. Song, who was the in-laws of her grandmother's generation, Shen Jianwan and Shen Xuan couldn't refuse even if they didn't believe it.

So except for Shen Zhan, who was out working for Emperor Xuanping, everyone in the Shen family went to offer incense that day.

However, something happened to Shangxiang this time. On the way back, they encountered robbers!

To be precise, what they encountered was actually an assassin pretending to be a robber, an assassin who specifically killed Shen Jianwan!

Yes, there are so many blind robbers at the emperor's feet. Those people are actually assassins, and they came specifically to assassinate Shen Jianwan.

At that time, they all had a very clear goal of only going after Shen Jianwan, and their skills were all top-notch masters.

Shen Jianwan is now considered a top master in Qinggong, but her fighting skills have always been poor. Being chased by so many masters at the same time, she was completely helpless.

Fortunately, the king was there at that time, and the little cat protected her for a long time. In the end, they were rescued by Shen Zhan who came out of the city to pick them up. Then Shen Zhan captured two men in black alive and examined them before they could commit suicide.

Mother Shen and the others were frightened when Shangxiang encountered such a thing. Mother Shen especially blamed herself. Shen Jianwan and the others comforted her and then she regained her mood.

At this time, Shen Jianwan's elegant female examination also arrived as scheduled.

During the three-day exam, Shen Jianwan was as calm as she imagined.

Perhaps she had attached great importance to this "women's imperial examination" in her previous life, thinking that it was the only way for her to lead to Shilin, meet like-minded people, and be a close friend for the rest of her life.

But in this life, the elegant female exam is not that important in her eyes. It is just a way for her to improve her status so that the Shen family will no longer be afraid of power.

So she took the exam calmly and didn't pay too much attention to the result.

As soon as she left the examination room, her brother Shen Zhan was waiting for her outside.

In the following days of waiting for the results of the Yaxue Women's Examination, Shen Xuan's Chunwei Examination also arrived as scheduled.

After Shen Xuan entered the examination room, Shen Zhan's investigation into the man in black who assassinated Shen Jianwan last time finally came to fruition!

In Shen Jianwan's Shingon House, the two assassins who had no time to commit suicide confessed early. It turned out that they were both from a top assassination organization in Yamato.

And they had no personal enmity with Shen Jianwan, they just took away Shen Jianwan's life because they received a high reward.

However, they did not know the identity of the buyer. They only knew that the order was placed by a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice wearing a mask.
