Minglan and He Hongwen are engaged, which is something that all the female envoys of the Sheng family know.

Due to the national mourning, their wedding was postponed for half a year.

What Shi Shitou found out after just a little inquiry, Gu Tingye was stunned and realized that he had no shortcut.

He held his forehead and thought carefully, it was just an engagement, not a marriage.

As long as someone in the He family or Sheng family regrets it, can't he take advantage of it?

There were so many secrets in such a big Gu family, so he didn't believe that He Hongwen was as clean-minded, motivated and knowledgeable as he found out from a stone.

If flies don't bite seamless eggs and nothing can be found, he will forget about it and think of another way out.

If found out, the reason for this marriage will no longer be attributable to the He family.

Stone cannot do this kind of thing. People have to go to the He family's place of origin to inquire carefully. The wedding date has been postponed for half a year, so there is plenty of time to inquire.

While Gu Tingye was making inquiries, the letter in the guard's hand had been delivered to Yuzhou.

In the past few days, Shen and a group of people had been hiding in the house, afraid to come out for fear that assassins would find the yard.

Shen's worries were unnecessary. After reading the letter in the guard's hand, Shen finally couldn't contain her excitement.

Her official became a prince... According to the guards, he was already a current official, so... wouldn't she have become a queen?

Isn't this a joke?

King Yan's rebellion failed, and King Yong died. At this time, her official took his son to rescue him, and he naturally became the prince. Within a few days, the official's family died, and he became a new official.

"Mo'er! Let's pack up and go to Bianjing!"

Shen hurried to Mo Lan's house, took Mo Lan's hand, and smiled at Mo Lan with extra enthusiasm.

Then he handed the family letter written by Zhao Ceying to Mo Lan's hand.

She has not forgotten that it was his son who forced me to go to Beijing. As for who his son is for, she knows best in her heart.

On the way back home, Mrs. Shen was still chatting with Mr. Dazou about the prosperous scene in Bianjing.

Unlike the door that was closed when leaving, the door of the Zhao Mansion was wide open at this moment, and the chains were cut open with a sharp weapon.

The ground was covered with the blood of the servant girl.

"Mom, be careful." When Shen saw the pool of dried blood, her head felt dizzy and her legs suddenly became weak.

Unexpectedly, Mo'er was right and the assassin really came to Zhao's house.

Fortunately, she listened to Mo Lan and Ying Geer and took a group of people to move out of the house overnight, otherwise they would be the ones lying on the ground.

The concubine's room was still in a mess when she got off the carriage. When she saw the corpse on the ground, she couldn't help but scream. She covered her chest, put a handkerchief on her nose, and leaned against the wall, wanting to gag.

Mrs. Shen pretended to be calm and forced a smile to Mo Lan, "Mo'er, it was you who protected us. If you hadn't let Brother Ying say it, I wouldn't have made up my mind to hide in the house."

When the guards saw the look in Mo Lan's eyes, they immediately started to pick up the bodies in the house, patrolled around the house, and then went to Shen's Mansion.

Shen's residence was not affected, but the house was turned over.

Under the instructions of the elder Zou and Shen Congxing, everyone in the Zou Mansion closed the door tightly. The little Zou, the most noisy family member, was locked in the room by Zou's father and Zou's mother, and nothing happened.

Before leaving, the Zou family entrusted the younger Zou family to the older Zou family. They knew that General Shen was not the former General Shen in Yuzhou. He suddenly became the uncle of the country and became a hot upstart in Beijing.

Although little Zou has a temper that is not easy to get along with, as a parent, you always have to make plans for your children.

Naturally, as the sister of the younger Zou family, this burden falls on the older Zou family.

It doesn't need to be a good family, as long as it can control Xiao Zou's temperament, or it is a family that Xiao Zou likes.

The big Zou took the little Zou away with worries, and spent more than ten days in the house with Mo Lan. She clearly felt the difference between Bianjing women and Yuzhou women.

She couldn't squeeze into the circle of high-ranking girls in Bianjing. If she brought a little Zou family there, she would become a laughing stock in Bianjing city.

She had to obey her parents' orders. She only hoped that her younger sister's character would be more restrained. After she went to Bianjing, she would choose a good family and live up to her parents' trust.

But this time when going to Bianjing, her other sister, Xiao Shen, is going to Bianjing together. She is about the same age as Xiao Zou and should be the age of Xu Qin. Her sister is the queen.

Moreover, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he must reuse the old ministers of Yuzhou and win over the ministers in Beijing.

From this point of view, her sister can also take advantage of the title of the female family member of an old official in Yuzhou and find a noble family in Bianjing.

Thinking of this, the elder Zou gave some serious instructions to the younger Zou, saying that Yuzhou is not as happy and free as Bianjing.

After going to Bianjing, every move she made represented the face of the Yuzhou faction, so she kept her temper in check.

Little Zou agreed, but her heart flew to nowhere. A few months ago, the Zou family showed her a family. It was the Lu family, a distant relative of the Zou family. The Lu family came to see her several times, but they didn't agree. He didn't refuse and kept doing Tai Chi with the Zou family.

Later, I learned from my mother that the Lu family had set their sights on the Pang family, but the Pang family thought the Lu family was poor and refused to accept the offer, so the Zou family naturally became the Lu family's alternative.

Nowadays, the Zou family is not what it used to be. The Lu family does not have the discernment. Today, Baba came to the Zou family and gave away many things. He looked like he really regretted wanting to get married.

so what? Her Zou family has long disdained the Lu family.

When little Zou saw Mother Lu's dejected look, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

There are so many good men in Bianjing, and some of them were picked by her. Who knows if she can be the head lady of the Earl's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion? Who cares about the Lu family, which is a small family.

As they approached the outskirts of Beijing, they saw neat people and horses waiting at the city gate. Zhao Ceying personally led the troops and waited outside.

Zhao Ceying was most worried about his mother and wife who were far away in Yuzhou. Seeing them standing in front of him without incident, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, Mo'er, how are you doing in Yuzhou? I should have gone to pick you up personally, but the late emperor just passed away. The capital cannot live without my father and I, and I have wronged you."

Shen immediately shook her head, held Zhao Ceying's hand with tears in her eyes, and told her everything about her family.

Including the fact that the Zhao family was almost massacred.

She was very happy these days, but at the same time she was filled with endless fear. The Shen family was considered a big family in Yuzhou, but it was not enough in Bianjing. She was not sure that she would be the queen.

Coupled with the tragic situation she saw when she returned home that day, she didn't dare to think about it.
