Chapter 3
Shen Congjia looked at the woman in front of him with uncertain eyes.

He was sure that there was a flash of sharpness in her eyes just now, but at this moment, she just pretended to be shy and timid.What is she trying to cover up?
He admitted that he really didn't like the Gu family who was begging for nothing and insisted on posting it, and the Gu family's second daughter Gu Qinglian.

But now it seems that this Gu Qinglian is not as cautious and timid as she appears on the surface.So, what is her intention of infiltrating the Shen family?

The situation has been turbulent recently, and in the palace, several factions are fighting fiercely for the establishment of a heir.Gu Qinglian, Gu Guifei, the Gu family, are they related to this matter?
Shen Congjia's eyes darkened even more. If the Gu family forcibly married their daughter in order to tie the Shen family to Concubine Gu's warship, then they made a mistake!
The Marquis of Weiyuan has always been neutral.This is the foundation for the Gu family to last for hundreds of years.

The husband and wife reunited after a long absence, Gu Qinglian thought that Shen Congjia would greet her anyway, but unexpectedly, she waited with her head down for a long time, but she didn't wait for a word from Shen Congjia.

Gu Qinglian's heels hurt from standing, and she stole a glance at Shen Congjia, only to see him staring at her expressionlessly, his eyes were bottomless.

You facial paralysis!Do you want to show me off just after you come back?Gu Qinglian complained endlessly in her heart.She is not used to wearing the ancient soft satin embroidered shoes, and her heels hurt badly after standing for a long time.

"What does young mistress do on weekdays?" Unexpectedly, she spoke with a paralyzed face.

Gu Qinglian was stunned for a moment: "It's just reading books, playing the piano, and being a female celebrity once in a while."

"Since you are so free, why did you arrive so late today?" Shen Congjia asked lightly.

Oh, no wonder the mother-in-law said that Shen Congjia asked about her, because she thought she was late.After laying the groundwork for so long just now, Ganqing is waiting for her here!

"I saw that the roses in the courtyard were in full bloom, so I asked Qiu Hen to cut a few branches and bring them over to put in a vase for my mother. This was a delay for a while." Gu Qinglian spoke to Qiu Hen who was waiting beside her. With a wink: "Go and get the vase from the corridor."

In fact, she cut this rose flower and prepared to take it back to her yard.Did not expect to come in handy.

Afraid that she would appear too clever, Gu Qinglian hastily added: "Thanks to the general for reminding me. If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot..."

The tone is nana, a shy look.

Shen Congjia was even more suspicious. He deliberately made things difficult for him just now, just to see her reaction.

The results were mediocre and nothing out of the ordinary.

Just now, could it be that I was wrong?

"Master, Madam, Eldest Young Master, Young Mistress, Third Miss, the flower hall has been set up, and the dishes are all served, masters, please move to the flower hall to eat!"

Mother Yao came over to treat her to dinner.Only then did Gu Qinglian heave a sigh of relief, and followed the crowd towards the flower hall, all she wanted was to go back and rest after eating.

There was a lot of wine and wine during the banquet, after all, it was her husband who returned in triumph, so Gu Qinglian had to drink a few glasses of celebration wine.By the end of the banquet, it was already a little top-heavy.

If she noticed that her face was flushed, she knew that she was smelling of alcohol, so she ordered Qiu Hen to quickly ask the mother-in-law to bring the soft sedan over, and then prepare the hangover soup.

He and Qiuhen supported Gu Qinglian, preparing to go back to the main room.

Mrs. Shen didn't look like it. Although she secretly hated Gu Qinglian's indecency, she had to tell her son: "Cong Jia, keep an eye on it, so that nothing unexpected happens."

Shen Congjia turned to look at Gu Qinglian.

The gold candlestick with Sixi cloud pattern, with a candle as thick as an arm, was inserted, and the faint yellow candlelight outlined a thin golden edge on her fair and tender cheeks, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of sparkles.

Shen Congjia's heart moved slightly, followed Ruyi and Qiuhen, and followed Gu Qinglian to the Haitang Garden where the main house was located.
