After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 135 Vow to find out the truth
Shen Guci's displeasure was clearly written on his face, and Wen Rong could not fail to see it.

But she kept the purpose of Li Shen's trip in mind, so she had to pretend not to see Shen Guci's face, trying to persuade Shen Guci again: "My aunt finally found me and wanted to talk to me more. If she lives outside , it’s very inconvenient. After reorganizing the house and having an extra guest room, why not let her live in our house."

Shen Guci also knew that it would be merciless to refuse a relative as a guest, but how could Li Shen be a serious relative? How could a bandit from Lijiazhai live in his home?
Naturally, he would not say that he had seen through Li Shen's identity, but only said: "Jiao Jiao said that she could always hear a dog barking in her room, and she couldn't sleep all night long. Moreover, the wolf dog had been with her for many years, and it appeared in the original place. She almost died because of the mistake, and she is not worried. She has been living with the wolf dog in the guest room for the past few days, and there should be no extra room in the house. "

Wen Rong choked and tightened her fingers on the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

Shen Yanhan's so-called "dog barking" was just to mock Shen Hui for disturbing her, but the wolf dog eating almond flour was indeed instigated by Shen Hui. Unexpectedly, the original purpose of humiliating Shen Yanhan was not achieved. Instead, it became Shen Guci's excuse.

She was secretly annoyed that Shen Hui didn't listen to her advice and went to stir up trouble. She really succeeded more than failed. Wen Rong showed a pitiful expression and said rationally: "Guardian, look, our family is here now. There are several guests here, but they are all relatives. The one on my sister’s side lives in the mansion, while the one on my side has to live in the inn. Those who know it are because there is not enough space in our mansion. Those who don’t know, I am afraid that we, the Shen family, are being unfair to one another. .”

If he heard Wen Rong say this before, Shen Guci would definitely hold down a bowl of water, but now when he heard her compare with Qi Yun, Shen Guci's eyes were a little colder, as if they had been tempered with ice.

Qi Yun is such a simple person at heart. The last thing she can do is probably play tricks.

Do you favor one over another?
If Qi Yun were alive, he would only treat others better than himself.

Shen Guci's disappointment in Wen Rong deepened. She clearly lured the wolf into the house. He refused twice, but she still went her own way and didn't know how to restrain herself.

Shen Guci said: "There is always someone who comes first. The Gu family came the year before last. We can't drive them away. After they leave, your aunt can stay as long as she wants."

"Officer..."

"She can't wait or what? Do you want to leave Lin'an Mansion in a hurry?" Shen Guyi interrupted her with a cold question.

Naturally, Li Shen wanted to help her find out something before leaving. Who knew exactly how long she would have to stay here, so Wen Rong had no choice but to reply: "No, she is not in a hurry to leave."

"Then I'll force her to wait in the inn for a few days."

After Shen Guci finished speaking, he pulled out his sleeve from Wen Rong's hand, and this time he didn't stop, and walked straight out of the room with an indifferent look from behind.

In this way, Li Shen could not stay overnight in Shen Mansion smoothly.

Qin Yuehuai and Shen Yanhan were playing around, and Shen Guci publicly ordered Shen Yanhan to send dinner to the guest room. As a result, the young couple did not show up to meet the guests.Qin Yuehuai's room was remote, so Wen Rong had no reason to take Li Shen there to stage an encounter.

Li Shen looked reluctantly toward the backyard of Shen's house, and finally left Shen's house with a displeased expression.

Shen Guci returned to the study, sat at the desk, staring at the table and lost in thought.

He was dressed as a scholar and had an elegant temperament. The light shone on his lightly frosted temples. He was originally a gentle picture, but because of his bowed back and the pain flowing out of his eyes, he appeared lonely and lonely.

On the table is a painting of Qi Yun.

The little lady standing under the pomegranate tree had bright eyes and white teeth, and she was dressed in a flamboyant manner, with a bright smile on her gorgeous cheeks. The spring breeze was blowing her skirt and fine hair around her ears.The warmth of the spring sun spread over her body, and spring flowers flew down her shoulders. Her eyes were bright and lively, as if she were reflecting her favorite handsome young man.

Shen Guci stroked the painted cheek with his fingers and said painfully: "Ayun, am I so stupid? I..."

Shen Guci choked with sobs and could not speak for a long time.

Tears welled up in his eyes. He raised his head and raised his sleeves to press his eyes to prevent the drawing paper from getting wet with tears.

His painting skills were not superb. If Qi Yun had not forced him to paint after her under the pretext that he had to learn painting to take the imperial examination, he would not have left this only painting. Qi Yun kept her safe. The portrait was painted.It took him a long time to swallow the soreness in his throat, his eyes were red, and he murmured to himself: "I will definitely find out the truth."

*
Wen Rong was not the only one notified of Li Shen's arrival in An'an Mansion. She settled in an inn, and then Li Zhang, the wife of the Duke of Qi, got the news.

When Li Zhang was surrounded by people and walked out, he happened to meet Qi Guogong and Meng Changqing who were returning from duty.

Seeing her in a hurry, Duke Qi stopped and asked, "It's so late, are you still going out?"

Li Zhang smiled at the father and son and replied, "A distant relative is coming to Lin'an Mansion. I'll go see him."

Duke Guo of Qi asked casually: "Who?"

Li Zhang answered him: "Do the officials remember my cousin's relatives? The Li family lived in Bianjing."

"Li Jia" entered his ears, and the tips of Meng Changqing's ears moved slightly.

He remembered that Qin Yuehuai said that Shen Yanhan's stepmother, Mrs. Wen, often came to the house to talk to his mother. The original reason was that his mother felt that Wen Rong resembled her cousin, Mrs. Li Qing of the Zhao family, and This Li Qing actually does not have a close relationship with his mother.

Suddenly a relative of the Li family appeared. Instead of coming to the house, her mother went out to visit in person. His intuition was a little strange.

Duke Guo of Qi was not as sensitive as his son.

The Wang family is a real aristocratic family, with so many relatives and many twists and turns. Not to mention a cousin, even Wang Zhang's huge bloodline of cousins ​​is complicated enough. How could Duke Qi really remember what Wang Zhang said? The Li family just nodded perfunctorily and gave up.

Seeing that he had no intention of talking anymore, Li Zhang said, "Then I'm going out. I'll be back later. The officials will have a meeting and rest first."

When she was about to take a step forward, Meng Changqing raised the folding fan in his hand, looked at Wang Zhang and said: "The city has not been peaceful recently, and there are many people stealing and committing crimes. I simply have nothing to do, so why don't I go with you, mother?" "

He looked at Qi Guogong and added: "This way, dad can feel more at ease."

Meng Changqing's words were not made out of thin air.

Last winter, there were many snowstorms in the suburban counties around Lin'an Prefecture. Many porridge shacks were set up at the city gate for disaster relief before the Chinese New Year, but not all the victims stayed at the city gate peacefully. The management of the city was loose, and some victims entered the city to steal and cause trouble. The officials sent by Fu Yin could not catch them all.

Hearing what Meng Changqing said, Qi Guogong took it seriously, nodded and said, "It's okay if you accompany me."

Li Zhang slowly retracted his nails into his palms, looked into Meng Changqing's half-smiling eyes, and suppressed his refusal, "Then, Shiro will come with us."

*
In an inn in Lin'an Mansion, Li Shen paced the guest room uneasily.

She didn't see Qin Qilang as she expected today. She was really angry that Wen Rong had a low status in the Shen family and couldn't even accommodate a guest.

But at the same time, she also had a strange worry of "fear of being close to home". If Qin Qilang was really the eldest son of Princess Yanqing, how should she deal with him?
While she was struggling, the guard she brought with her knocked on the door and said, "Madam, the Duke of Qi has arrived."

Li Shen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll come right away."
