Chapter 866 Rejection


Chapter 866 Rejection

No one would do such a thing when relatives come all the way to Ningfeng City and let them stay in an inn.

The Shen family values ​​rules and would not be so rude.

However, Chu Jingqi was a popular figure in front of the emperor and a well-known young general. It was impossible for him to bring Xia Zihan to Ningfeng City for no reason.

What's more, Ningfeng City is just an insignificant small city, and it is not a famous tourist place.

Mrs. Shen suspected that he was performing some secret mission, and was afraid that it would be more inconvenient for him to live in the Shen family. Therefore, when preparing a place for them, she deliberately planned to open a small door near the courtyard wall to allow them to move freely. In and out.

"Well, great-aunt, there are so many of us. Moving in here will probably cause trouble to the Shen family. Besides, we're only leaving for a few days, so we won't be moving in." Xia Zihan smiled with an embarrassed look on her face.

She wasn't lying. A group of dozens of them couldn't live in a single courtyard. Besides, they didn't plan to stay in Ningfeng City longer, and they didn't want to cause any trouble to the Shen family.

Xia Zihan didn't expect that her refusal would make Old Mrs. Shen even more sure of what she was thinking. Therefore, Old Mrs. Shen was not angry. Instead, she said kindly and apologetically, "I wasn't thoughtful. In that case, , the princess has been coming to the house to chat a lot these days. Hey, this man is getting old, and I don’t know what’s going on, but he always thinks of what happened in the capital.”
< br>

I really want to hear more from Xia Zihan about things in the capital.

Xia Zihan nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Absolutely, my great-aunt likes to hear it, so I will come to your door every day to tell her."

"The princess is kind-hearted." She didn't have any airs about the princess at all, and she immediately won Mrs. Shen's love for her.

Mrs. Shen said, "I remember that you were raised by your grandmother. Before you left the court, your grandmother and I also knew each other, and we even painted together. Oh, by the way, our piano player is a , after all, we can be considered senior sisters..."

Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but talk about something that happened before she left the cabinet. Then, Old Mrs. Shen asked about the current situation of the Chu family.

Xia Zihan told everything, including the fact that Chu Yuexi had adopted the Chu family, was currently the son-in-law of the Second Prince's Palace, and was the commander-in-chief of the Yinlin Guards, without hiding anything.

And this identity made Mrs. Shen's heart tremble even more.

Yinlin Guards are the personal guards in front of the emperor and are the emperor's confidants. This identity is no less than that of Chu Jingqi.

If there is no very important task, the emperor cannot easily send him out of the capital.

And now, even the commander-in-chief of Yinlin Guards has come to Ningfeng City. Could it be that Ningfeng City is going to change?

Thinking that her son was the magistrate of Ningfeng City, Mrs. Shen felt a little uneasy, and her heart went up to the sky.

However, when she thought about how her son had not made any mistakes in the past few years in office, Mrs. Shen's heart dropped back to its original position.

Mrs. Shen said to Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi with a kind face, "You two children, the eldest young master of the Chu family is here, why don't you come and play with us? Come on, Dalang, go to the inn and invite Chu The eldest young master, come here.”

"Yes, grandma, my grandson will definitely invite Young Master Chu here." Shen Yu stood up, said goodbye to Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan, and went to the inn.

Chu Yuexi took a late nap and just got up. She hadn't had breakfast yet. She was about to go downstairs to let the waiter prepare food when Master Shen came.

Hearing that Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan were guests at the Shen family, Chu Yuexi muttered and cursed, "That bastard Chu Jingqi abducted my sister to the Shen family and left me here. It's not fun."

Although his voice was low, the eldest son of the Shen family heard it with his sharp ears. The corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't dare to speak.

Chu Yuexi changed into a new piece of clothing that Xia Zihan bought for him, went downstairs, asked the inn waiter for the leftover meat buns sold in the past two mornings, and then followed the eldest young master of the Shen family.

When Chu Yuexi arrived at the Shen family and saw Chu Jingqi, she snorted, "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that you and the Shen family are still related. What a coincidence."

"Well, it's a coincidence. Even I didn't expect that Uncle Shen's family would be transferred to Ningfeng City."

Mr. Shen's transfer order was made by the late emperor when he was still alive. At that time, the Chu family was the late emperor's confidant and had always been valued by the late emperor. However, Lu Guogong always disliked the Chu family and secretly suppressed everyone who had anything to do with the Chu family many times. .

Speaking of which, the fact that Mr. Shen was transferred so far away and served as the prefect in such a small town has something to do with the Chu family.

At that time, the Chu family and his son were resisting the Tatars at the border and were unable to take care of the affairs of the court. When Lu Guogong saw that the Shen family was an in-law of the Dou family, he deliberately used tricks to transfer Mr. Shen to this small, idle town.

Not long after Mr. Shen was transferred to Ningfeng City, Duke Lu and the second and third princes conspired to rebel.

Later, Duke Lu died, and many members of the Lu family also died. The entire court was in chaos for half a year before it gradually recovered.

After everything is settled, who will remember the small Shen family.

As for the Dou family, after everything stabilized, they lost contact with the Shen family.

However, since Chu Jingqi met the Shen family this time and guessed that the Shen family was implicated by the Chu family, they secretly used methods to transfer Master Shen back to the capital.

Of course, this will happen after he returns to Beijing.

At noon, the male guests and the female family members ate in the lobby, with a six-fold screen in the middle as a shield. Xia Zihan was accompanied by Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen.

On the other side of the screen, Chu Jingqi and Chu Yuexi were accompanied by the two young masters of the Shen family and Mr. Shen who came back specially.

After lunch, Xia Zihan took Old Mrs. Shen to the back garden for a walk to eat. She told Old Mrs. Shen a lot about what happened in the capital, and Old Mrs. Shen listened very seriously and with relish.

It wasn't until nightfall that Old Mrs. Shen stayed with the three of them to have dinner at Shen's house, and then she had to let the three of them go back to the inn.

In the evening, when the couple was lying on the bed and talking about the Shen family, Chu Jingqi expressed more appreciation for Young Master Shen. He also told Xia Zihan, "In the afternoon, I chatted with Uncle Shen all afternoon. I guess that Uncle Shen’s transfer to Ningfeng City may have something to do with the Chu family.”

Before Ding You, Mr. Shen was the prefect of Jinyang City, one of the ten largest cities in Dasheng. However, three years after Ding You came to power, he was transferred to this small, sleepy city. Chu Jingqi didn't believe that people were trying to harm her.

He thought about it and only remembered that eight years ago, he and his father were fighting at the border, and everything in the capital was controlled by Duke Lu and the Second Prince.

The Second Prince will not harm Mr. Shen, only the Lu Guo Guild.
