Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 192 Changes
I even slept until noon before getting up.

Shen Fuyu felt a little embarrassed for once.

"Hey, Shen Fuyu, you're blushing!"

Shen Mengwu widened her eyes and looked at Shen Fuyu in surprise.

Shen Fuyu has always been thick-skinned and rarely gets shy.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Fuyu yelled at Shen Mengwu. Instead of getting angry, Shen Mengwu snickered at Shen Fuyu's embarrassed look.

"Oh, Shen Fuyu, I never thought you could be shy. I have to remember this scene in my heart. Who knows when I'll get to see it again in the future."

The two of them were playing and fighting, and Shen Mengning stood aside and watched the scene with her eyes curved with smile.

Soon, Secretary Shen came over with lunch and placed the meals in the bamboo pavilion. Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters sat together. Shen Fuyu had not eaten anything after practicing martial arts last night and was already hungry.

Looking at the colorful, fragrant and delicious food, Shen Fuyu ate it with relish.

Shen Mengwu silently took a pair of chopsticks and started eating with Shen Fuyu.

"Second Miss, haven't you eaten yet?"

Shen Mengwu stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't know why I feel hungry so easily lately. Seeing you eating so happily, I feel a little hungry too."

"Fortunately, the librarian brought a lot of food."

"Secretary, go and do your work first. Don't worry about this place."

The little maidservant stood aside tactfully, not disturbing Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters. The three of them had some little secrets between them, and often left Shen Sishu out, who had long been accustomed to it.

"Miss, how is the matter with the Second Madam going?"

Shen Fuyu was annoyed that Shen Yingjun kept delaying time, so she left halfway and didn't know the subsequent results.

"The matter is under investigation. Now the clan leader has begun to suspect my second uncle. My mother privately asked Doctor Meng, and he said that high-level Ecstasy Potion appears more frequently in the south. And my second uncle just happened to be returning from the south, and the timing of Jiang Yun's disappearance is so coincidental."

Shen Mengning also felt a little sad about the changes in the second uncle of the Shen family.

"Shen Fuyu, could it be that Second Uncle's previous attitude towards Second Aunt was all fake? Otherwise, how could there be such a big change?"

Although she already had the answer in her heart, Shen Mengwu found it difficult to accept it for a moment.

"You asked me yesterday." Shen Fuyu rolled his eyes and didn't want to answer this question. The human heart is the most complicated. Who can guarantee that it will remain unchanged?

"No matter what, I believe Mrs. Shen can handle it."

"Jiang Yun certainly can't get far. Just ask Madam Shen to look for her in Qinchuancheng."

"Of course, I still have to do this on the backs of the Second Master and the Clan Leader of the Shen Family."

Before Shen Yingjun returned to the city, Shen Fuyu often heard of the reputation of the second master of the Shen family in the mansion.

Everyone praised the second master of the Shen family. After all, when Jiang Yun bullied the servants, Shen Yingjun stood up for the servants and even scolded Jiang Yun for the servants. This move not only won the favor of Mrs. Shen and the clan leader, but more importantly, many servants also trusted him.

Now I think that one of them plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy, just to get more benefits.

Shen Yingjun is not as simple as he seems.

If a person has a good reputation, it means that he is very scheming.

No matter what others think, Shen Fuyu thinks so.

Compared to nice guys, Shen Fuyu prefers to deal with people with strong personalities and average reputations. After all, such people will not hide anything, but will express it very straightforwardly.

"Let's go. After dinner, we'll go out of town and take a look. We must see things through to the end. We can't just ignore the refugees after receiving a commendation. Otherwise, it will give people an opportunity to make trouble."

Received a reward from His Majesty.

In front of many ministers, the emperor clearly expressed his expectation that the Shen sisters would pursue a career in officialdom. This statement also meant that as long as the Shen sisters were not too bad, they would be able to succeed.

As long as they can make it to the palace examination, the Shen sisters will definitely not rank too badly.

This was like a guarantee, so the Shen sisters, Lu Mingtang, and the others were always under scrutiny. If they showed any signs of being arrogant due to their favor, someone would definitely report them to the emperor.

Jealousy is the most terrible thing in the world.

"Uh-huh."

The Shen sisters nodded obediently and always chose to obey Shen Fuyu's arrangements.

……

outside the city.

Lu Mingtang and others had already arranged everything.

"Shen Mengwu, Shen Mengwu."

Cheng Ziqi ran to Shen Mengwu happily and took out a hairpin as if presenting a treasure.

"I was shopping yesterday and saw a really nice hairpin that I think would suit you perfectly."

Cheng Ziqi looked expectantly and nervously handed the hairpin to Shen Mengwu.

Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning smiled at each other, both realizing what Cheng Ziqi was planning. Of course, Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning would not interfere. It was Shen Mengwu's choice whether to accept it or not.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mengwu frowned and looked at him warily, "Cheng Ziqi, why did you suddenly want to give me a hairpin? Is there something you want to ask of me? Cheng Ziqi, I'm warning you, I won't do anything too extreme, and I won't accept the hairpin. I don't like these things."

Noticing the curious gazes of the refugees, Shen Mengwu quickly pushed Cheng Ziqi away and began to distribute porridge with quick movements.

"Second Miss Shen, why are you here just now?"

After spending some time together, the refugees have already become familiar with several people.

Li Dazhuang was unwilling to stand aside and originally wanted to continue to stir up trouble. Until the imperial edict came from the court, Li Dazhuang gave up his messy thoughts.

Fortunately, he hadn't had time to cause any big trouble, otherwise, his end would have been very miserable. Li Dazhuang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief without saying a word.

"Because Shen Fuyu stayed in bed all the time."

Shen Mengwu smiled secretly and sold Shen Fuyu out without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

Shen Fuyu slapped Shen Mengwu on the head and glared at her.

"Second Miss Shen, has the court said how to accommodate us?"

The food that the refugees ate during this period was provided by the national treasury.

However, the court has never said how to resettle the refugees.

The refugees have some concerns in their hearts.

"Your Majesty must be given some time to discuss the outcome of the matter."

Shen Mengwu was vague.

Although they went to the capital to meet the emperor, his majesty did not give them any rules. He only rewarded them and punished the empress. The Shen sisters did not know how to deal with the rest of the matters.

She thought that perhaps there were too many refugees and His Majesty could not think of any good solution for a while, so it was delayed.

Here, Mrs. Shen and the head of the Shen family stood together and looked at each other.

"Clan leader, what do you think about this matter?" Mrs. Shen spoke cautiously.

A sigh escaped the lips of the head of the Shen family. He never expected that a few years of separation could cause such a big change in a person.

"I don't quite understand. If Yingjun had any ideas, he could have just said them directly. Why did he resort to such means?"
