Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 316

"Tell me about you, this one is not good, that one is not good, the girl who married you with you was already sending back the door gift the day before yesterday. Because of you, mother has offended several wives, and now I go out and no one wants to mention it to you. Talking about marriage, how long are you going to make trouble?" Mrs. Shen was so angry that she flickered her fan, this midsummer caught people off guard, and it was really uncomfortable inside and out.

Shen Ziyan stood behind a beaded curtain in the main room, lowered her head and listened to her mother's lecture that she hated iron and steel, looked up and timidly said: "Mother, it's all Xiao Xiyan's fault, obviously I fell in love with Master Xu first, She turned around and made an engagement with him."

"Don't dare to say that when your father mentioned this to me, I turned to you and said, what did you say? You despise someone who is not from the Jingcheng family and is not worthy of Duke Qing's mansion. You don't even see him." I rejected it straight away, but now that I think about it, it’s too late.”

"Mother, don't be so angry, I will definitely listen to you next time, okay?" Shen Ziyan slowly walked up to Mrs. Shen, squatting slightly and looking up with an aggrieved expression.

Mrs. Shen gave her a slap in anger, "Tell me, what's your idea this time?"

"Mother, I don't have any idea, but when I went out to fold flowers a few days ago, I saw a man. One of my handkerchiefs flew into the branch, and he helped to take it off."

"Stop it, what kind of person climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix?"

"Mother, listen to me, we didn't even say a word."

"let it go."

"Mother." Shen Ziyan twisted her handkerchief and said: "That man came to visit relatives in the capital, a person from Hangzhou, and his ancestors were also officials in the court. Because his grandfather died of illness, Ding You was at home and could not participate in this year's Spring Festival. If he came , it's not the turn of Master Xu."

Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Ziyan, how could she not understand the daughter she gave birth to.Eighty percent of them have already talked to others and are fascinated.But now it's not easy to object directly, "What's the name of that person? What kind of official position did your ancestors have? I'll ask your second brother to investigate later. If it is true and reliable, it depends on your father's opinion. Mom, as long as you are happy." Behind the left and right is the Duke of Qing's Mansion, and it is expected that her daughter will not suffer if she comes to his house.

"How do I know that?" Shen Ziyan twitched a bit, and had other ideas in her mind, so she changed the subject and asked, "What happened to the marriage between Second Brother and Zheng Yu?"

"Don't mention your second brother, you two are not worry-free. Mother found a matchmaker for him, and he sent someone to beat the matchmaker unconscious halfway and throw him outside the city. Who would dare to come to him after two or three times? Go to the Zheng family to propose marriage."

Haha, Shen Ziyan was so happy when she heard it, it really looks like his second brother did it.

Someone came in from outside the door, it was the nanny in front of Mrs. Shen, and she looked a little dignified.Shen Ziyan decided not to run into trouble here, so she quickly resigned and left.

"Ma'am, the uncle is here, let's enter the gate of the mansion together with the old man."

"Shen Yu?" Mrs. Shen stood up in shock, "What are you doing back? He left his post without authorization and has already been dismissed from office. Why did this disappear for several months and then come back?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the person on duty at the gate that the master and the uncle came back from the palace together in a carriage."

"Understood, you go down first." Madam Shen was stunned for a while after speaking, and then seemed to remember something, and hurried out of the main room to look for Shen Yan.

"The second master went out early in the morning. If Madam is in a hurry, I will call the second master back here." Seeing Mrs. Shen's displeasure, Shen Yan's entourage thought that his second master was marrying the Zheng family again. What a mess.

"No, if your second master comes back, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

"Yes." The attendant watched Mrs. Shen's back disappear, scratching his head, if his second master came back, it would be night.

Mrs. Shen waited anxiously until the evening, and she also waited for a piece of news that made her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys feel bad. The family banquet of the Duke's mansion, Shen Yu's future, as the eldest son of the Duke of Qing's mansion.

The family of five gathered together, Duke Qing Shen Yuan was very happy, just about to stand up with a wine glass to say something, Shen Yan spoke first.He held the wine glass and looked at Shen Yu, "Brother, we can't become a family after drinking this glass of wine. I just want to ask you, why did you come back? Have you ever done something for the Duke's Mansion all these years?" , down and out, abandoned by others, come back as soon as you say it, why do you have it?"

"Xiao'er..." Although Madam Shen felt angry in her heart, she still had to care about Shen Yuan's face, so she scolded loudly.

"Father, it was inconvenient to hinder my legs in the early years. I didn't want to argue about anything. But now I'm born to fight. Don't you think you are unfair to me?"

Shen Yuan's face twitched twice, "Presumptuous."

Oh, Shen Yan sneered and pointed at Shen Yu and said, "Isn't he too presumptuous? Is he the one who vowed to put a knife in his chest and would rather lose half his life to draw a line with the Shen family? It's him, not me, who defies the imperial decree and asks the Shen family to deal with the aftermath. Why can he get the things that I want to fight for with all my strength? "

Holding the wine glass, Shen Yu glanced at Shen Zong, seeing his flushed face due to excitement, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "Just because I am the legitimate eldest son of the Shen family."

Seeing Shen Yu's indifferent and arrogant appearance, Shen Yan was so angry that his teeth itch, and the cup in his hand also shook.

Shen Ziyan was not willing to let her elder brother be angry, she took a deep breath and was about to speak, but she was slapped by Mrs. Shen to relieve half of her breath.Mrs. Shen gave her a look of shutting up if she doesn't want to die, then stood up and held the wine glass, "Xiao'er, it's rare that your elder brother is back today, don't spoil your father's interest, hurry up, let your elder brother accompany you. "

Shen Yan glanced at Mrs. Shen, recalling how cautious his mother had been all these years, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "He doesn't deserve it." The cup fell to the ground, turned and left the dining room.

"Master, don't be angry, I'll call him back right now." Mrs. Shen got up and said, Shen Yuan waved her hand, "Let him go, eat."

Madam Shen took advantage of sitting down to gouged Shen Yu's eyes, wishing she could really fly out and stab him through with a knife.Holding the chopsticks, Shen Yu should eat and drink, completely treating the two people opposite him as air.

"Master, Mrs. Zheng has come to sit at the house, and she is very satisfied with the marriage between Yan'er and Miss Zheng. I am thinking about when to match the two young people."

"You can figure it out."

The four of them ate a tasteless meal, Shen Yuan ordered Shen Yu to go to the study after washing up and then walked away, Mrs. Shen and Shen Ziyan followed.

Sitting alone at the table, Shen Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at the bright red light at the door and the people on the opposite roof. He sneered and got up and went outside. He ignored the obvious provocation and walked up the corridor.

"Shen Yu, let me see your skills." Shen Yan stood on the roof, pointing at Shen Yu.
