Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Xie Zhao turned around hesitantly, but there was no one behind him. It seemed that his cousin was calling him.

Could it be that Shen Zhilan was so stimulated by the news of miscarriage that her brain suddenly became bad?

Xie Zhao's eyes stayed on Shen Zhilan for a moment, and he said calmly: "Cousin."

"Brother-in-law."

Shen Zhilan corrected her. She was closer to Jiang Yuzhu. Since she recognized that she was Jiang Yuzhu's biological sister, she looked at Xie Zhao with more critical and harsh eyes, "You can just call me sister of the Shen family."

The cousins ​​are not that familiar with each other.

In his previous life, Xie Zhao worked hard for the people. Behind the infinite scenery, there must be loneliness that ordinary people cannot bear.

Xie Zhao was an important minister of the Qi Dynasty and was loyal to the emperor. As a member of his family, he did not receive much benefit.

It's like coming to the Northland and suffering hardships along the way. Jiang Yuzhu could have avoided it originally, but he was subsequently affected.

How can Xie Zhao, who is so glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, be so good?

Keenly aware that Shen Zhilan was dissatisfied with him, Xie Zhao was confused. Thinking of the Shen family's unreasonable temper, Xie Zhao said calmly: "How do you feel?"

As for the title, it was not important and Xie Zhao subconsciously ignored it.

Shen Zhilan was about to shake her head and say it was okay, but after realizing Xie Zhao's intentions, she cried and said, "I...something's not okay."

No matter how open-minded she is, Shen Zhilan can't get over this hurdle.

Now that things had happened, she had no choice but to minimize her losses and take good care of herself.

For some reason, beside Jiang Yuzhu, Shen Zhilan felt that she could reverse the tragedy of her previous life and feel that all the hardships were rewarded.

Xie Zhao came at this time. Visiting her was secondary, and the main purpose was to take Jiang Yuzhu back to her room.

Shen Zhilan hesitated for a moment and said apologetically: "Brother-in-law, can Sister Yuzhu stay with me tonight?"

Of course not!

During the Chinese New Year, I wanted to be alone with my wife, but unexpected changes affected me.

Xie Zhao's face turned a little colder and he turned to look at Jiang Yuzhu.

Whether he wants to stay or not depends on his wife's decision.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled helplessly and said, "Yuanhe, I'll talk to Zhilan tonight."

The fire in the General's Mansion came out of nowhere. Shen Zhilan was frightened and had a miscarriage. She said she was fine, but she was probably holding on by force.

This knot in the heart must be opened. If it lasts for many years, it will easily become a heart disease.

Xie Zhao closed his eyes and let out a long breath. The desire for exclusive possession surged in his heart. In the end, he did nothing and turned around to leave the room, but his back looked particularly lonely.

Shen Zhilan only had one thought in her mind: Xie Zhao Zhengfeng was jealous and she had offended someone.

While she was thinking wildly, Xie Zhao stopped by the door and said calmly: "Sister Shen, I have written a letter to Jiangnan in advance. Calculating the days, my aunt should arrive in Beidi within three days at the latest."

Afterwards, Xie Zhao opened the curtain and disappeared into the room.

Shen Zhilan sat down for a long time as if struck by lightning.

"what happened?"

Sensing Shen Zhilan's obvious change, Jiang Yuzhu pulled up a chair and sat across from her, asking softly.

Shen Zhilan shook her head, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Relive a new life, everything in the previous life is vividly visible.

After rebirth, in order to change the outcome, Shen Zhilan brought her maid Xia'er to the capital, and she escaped with her baggage.

Her mother was kind to her, but she was too weak.

In her previous life, after Shen Zhilan had a miscarriage, she ran to her parents' house for help and wanted to reconcile.

The scumbag father loves face and bluntly said that she was a shame to the Shen family. Although the mother felt sorry for her, she never said a word for her.

Shen Zhilan's face was numb and her hands and feet were cold. She recalled that on the day she left her parents' home, her mother did not show up, but sent her nanny to see her out through the corner gate.

"Miss, don't blame Madam. Although Madam is the head of the family, she has no real power. She is overpowered by the old lady. You have brought shame on the Shen family, and Madam has no choice!"

As she spoke, Mammy gave Shen Zhilan a purse with some gold and silver in it.

Shen Zhilan smiled bitterly, the money she wanted?

Isn't it sad that a mother is so weak that she only knows how to escape and cannot even protect her children?

After that time, Shen Zhilan wanted to return to her parents' home again, but the concierge looked down upon others and used various excuses to stop her, as if she was a poor relative who came to fight against the autumn wind.

Looking back now, Shen Zhilan still felt ashamed. Shen Zhilan didn't want to face her parents.

"Sister Yuzhu, I don't want to see my mother."

Shen Zhilan couldn't open her mouth even if she wanted to say many things in her previous life.

She touched the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and said sarcastically: "After the Shen family received a letter and came to the North, they still sent my mother. Isn't it because I got involved with the Mo family?"

In the final analysis, Shen Zhilan had the upper hand for this marriage.

If she marries a man from the countryside, the Shen family would be eager to sever ties with her.

"So you can't stand it?"

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages when walking to higher places.

It is true that there are parents who do not ask for anything in return, but not everyone is like that.

Among people, interests are definitely the bond that maintains relationships, and the same is true for family ties.

Jiang Yuzhu could see clearly, so she cherished her family even more.

Shen Zhilan opened her mouth and said in surprise: "Sister Yuzhu, shouldn't I be sad?"

Sometimes, Shen Zhilan also thanked herself for giving birth to the Shen family. If she were a girl in the village, she might have been sold for money.

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head and said seriously: "This is not what you want, nor is it what you hope for. It is human nature to be sad."

"Think about it from another perspective, wouldn't it be much easier if you didn't have such high demands on your parents?"

Shen Zhilan is the young lady of the Shen family. She has enough food and clothing, and no worries about food and clothing.

As for the marriage, the Shen family also showed the greatest tolerance.

Now, it's okay for the Shen family to use Shen Zhilan to gain access to the Mo family.

"You are the daughter of the Shen family. In order to prevent your father from taking advantage of you, can you still leave the clan?"

If you have a good relationship with your natal family, then move around more.

If the relationship is cold, you won't lose anything by maintaining a face-saving relationship.

These days, after a woman gets married, she relies on her natal family for support, and her natal family also enjoys some benefits in the process. This is the case.

"When you establish yourself in the Mo family, you must first focus on yourself."

To put it bluntly, a woman must be smart, coax her husband well, and have a good relationship with her husband's family, which will give her a little more confidence.

What's more, due to the fire and Shen Zhilan's miscarriage, the entire Mo family felt very guilty about her, so why not make good use of it?

"It's not about plotting against anyone. The first thing you want to do is live a good life for yourself. Then you have to learn not to have too much hope for others. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

After Jiang Yuzhu finished speaking, the remaining resentment in Shen Zhilan's heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

Yes, after thinking about it from my perspective, it’s not easy for my mother either.

Not everyone has the chance to live a new life, and she and her mother are not enemies, so why do they care so much?

Mother has her own way, and what Shen Zhilan has to do is work hard to live a better life.

Shen Zhilan hugged Jiang Yuzhu and said softly: "Thank you."

The room fell into silence, and Shen Zhilan couldn't stand it anymore.

Although Shen Zhilan won the battle of snatching people, she didn't know why she felt guilty, but she always felt like there was an invisible pressure in the room.

"Sister Yuzhu, I...I fell asleep."

If you don't return the person, you will definitely be resented.

Shen Zhilan turned sideways and covered herself with the quilt. She was frightened.

Even though he pretends to be calm, he is still very afraid of his cousin Xie Zhao.
