After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Speaking of Lu Yan, this is another thing that worries Shen Ruoyan.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Lu Yan poured into his parents. After finally returning from the hunting ground, Shen Ruoyan thought that in the capital, one of them was an important official of the imperial court and the other was a lady, so the chances of meeting them would be very few, but However, her parents urged her to go to the General's Mansion to visit Lu Yan all day long.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyan sighed heavily.

Her engagement with Lu Yan has not been canceled yet, and she has to investigate the sachet matter. Why is this road to rebirth so difficult?

"Ayan, what are you doing? Go to Xiaoyan's place for me!"

Shen Ruoyan was depressed when she heard her mother mention Lu Yan's name.

Mrs. Shen was supported by someone and limped in. She found her daughter holding her chin in a daze, looking like she was doing nothing, and said seriously:

"Don't make any excuses for me today. Mother specially made Xiaoyan a five-precious dumpling. You can deliver it to him for me."

The food box held by the maid who took it was placed heavily in front of Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan was helpless after hearing this.

The cooking method of Wuzhenxiang is very complicated. The number of times my mother goes to the kitchen a year can be counted on one hand. Now she only cooks such a labor-intensive dish for her favorite Xiaoyan.

Shen Ruoyan shook her head, helped her mother sit down, and said:

"Mother, your foot injury hasn't healed yet. Why are you working so hard? There is also a cook in Lu Yan's house. What can't you eat?"

"How do those grown men in Xiaoyan's house know how to take care of others?" Seeing her daughter's reluctance, Mrs. Shen became angry and said in a more serious tone, "Xiaoyan has a life-saving grace for you, isn't it? I asked you to deliver something, why are you so resistant?"

"Mother, after all, I haven't left the cabinet yet. If I go to the General's Mansion like this, I'm afraid it will damage my reputation if word spreads. It's better to let my brother go."

Shen Ruoyan tried to make a last ditch effort. She really didn't want to meet Lu Yan.

Mrs. Shen's face showed an expression of hatred for steel.

Her daughter usually seems quite smart, so why can't she understand her own good intentions?

Giving things away is fake, but cultivating feelings is real.

Ayan sent the things over, and the two of them must have a chat when they meet. With such a back and forth, the relationship will not come out.

For such a perfect marriage partner as Lu Yan, no one else could be found in the entire capital. If someone took advantage of the opportunity and snatched her away, who would they cry to?

Seeing that her daughter was still resisting, Mrs. Shen frowned and said:

"Don't disturb your brother's reading. Just go and relax. You and Xiaoyan will get married in a few months, and others won't gossip."

Under Mrs. Shen's tough attitude, Shen Ruoyan could only take Qin'er on the carriage to the General's Mansion.

In the carriage, Qin'er looked at the young lady beside her, sat outside, and uneasily held the food box in her arms.

The young lady has been staring at the food box in her arms for a long time, with a glint in her eyes from time to time, which made Qiner feel a chill down her spine. Could it be that the young lady... wants to eat secretly?

Before leaving, Madam specifically told her to keep an eye on the young lady and deliver this dish to Mr. Lu.

She must complete the task assigned by Madam!

However, what is inside is the five delicacies.

It flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water. Five precious ingredients are selected and carefully cooked for five hours to create such a bowl.

Qin'er could smell the fragrance through the food box. If the young lady turned a blind eye when she ate secretly, would the young lady give her some?

And they only tasted such a small sip, Master Lu probably wouldn't notice.

Just when Qin'er was extremely confused, Shen Ruoyan on the side also fell into deep thought.

Her mother asked her to deliver food to Lu Yan. She was very reluctant, but looking at the food box in front of her, she suddenly had a good idea.

Isn’t this a huge opportunity?

As long as he secretly puts some poison in it, wouldn't Lu Yan...

Without a marriage partner, the marriage would naturally fall through. She no longer had to worry about Lu Yan coming to raid her house one day. It was all over!

The more Shen Ruoyan thought about it, the happier she became, but then she thought about it. This dish was made by her mother, and she sent it to her personally. Even if Lu Yan could be poisoned to death, it would definitely be traced to their Shangshu Mansion afterwards. Murdering an important official of the imperial court requires the execution of nine clans, which is much more serious than confiscating a house.

Shen Ruoyan sighed and let Lu Yan go this time. She could only find another way.

This expression, in Qin'er's eyes, was interpreted as another meaning.

The master and the servant sat in the carriage with their own thoughts, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the general's mansion.

"Miss, the General's Mansion is here."

Hearing the coachman's voice, Shen Ruoyan came to her senses and led Qin'er out of the carriage.

The General's Mansion in front of her was still as majestic as before. Looking at this place that she could not leave until her death in her previous life, Shen Ruoyan felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

I still remember the day she got married, when she stepped into this threshold wearing a red glow, and her ears were filled with lively congratulations.

But she understood that such excitement did not belong to her.

Following Xipo's guidance, Shen Ruoyan walked into her yard and sat alone in the house, waiting for the groom's arrival.

The courtyard wall blocked out the hustle and bustle outside, but it couldn't stop the people's discussions.

"This must be Miss Shen. I heard that she was kidnapped before she got married."

"No way, why would you marry such a woman?"

"It's absolutely true. My cousin was working as an errand next to Duke Wei, and Qiu Lie followed him this time. It is said that many people saw her disheveled appearance at that time."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a rich young lady, I look like a shabby shoe, even worse than those women in the brothel."

"Do you think I want to marry her? It's not because this marriage was given by the Holy One himself, so I have to marry her."

"Isn't there another Miss from the Su family? This Miss from the Su family will be the official wife of our General's Mansion from now on. As for this one, I will never give her a good look."

Sure enough, just as the servants said, Lu Yan never stepped into her door that night.

The red candle was swaying, and Shen Ruoyan was sitting alone by the bed, with the red silk above her head blocking her sight.

Shen Ruoyan lowered her eyes and could only see a small piece of land under her feet.

That night, she didn't sleep, she just sat there quietly, staring at the square inch of land under her feet in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until Qin'er reminded her in a low voice that it was already dawn that Shen Ruoyan moved slightly.

After all, he still disliked himself.

Shen Ruoyan sighed.

But he soon comforted himself. Lu Yan was willing to marry her, which was already a great blessing. In any case, he would have a foothold in the future.

However, when she put away all her sharp edges and hid in a corner of the courtyard of the General's Mansion, she ended up with her family ruined.
