The most important thing right now is to quickly let the royal brother's family know that the Shen family has come to the capital. There is nothing else to be afraid of, but Princess Xiaoyao has just returned home from the palace, and she returned home with a miscarriage. Everyone in the capital knows about it.

If the Shen family does something weird again at this time, I'm afraid something bad might happen to Princess Xiaoyao, and that would be a crime.

So he asked Eunuch Xiao Anzi to go to Xiaoyao Palace in person and apologize to Xiao Jingyi about the matter so that they could be mentally prepared.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager's health is getting worse, and the Emperor does not want his younger brother to be criticized as an unfilial son. This is what the Empress Dowager can do now.

To Xiao Jingyi, this matter was extremely disgusting.

He was not afraid of what the Shen family would do to Xiaoyao Palace, but he was afraid of what they would do to his wife.

After returning from the palace that day, Xiao Jingyi was worried and asked Doctor Yu to take Qin Zhongyue's pulse personally.

Doctor Yu used his own life to guarantee that the princess and her unborn baby were fine, and only then did he feel relieved.

I guess the princess is really angry about this matter.

But it must be said that if someone takes advantage of you when you are not at home, you will regret it.

So after eunuch Xiao Anzi left, he went to Wangyue Garden in person and told Qin Zhongyue the news that the Shen family had returned.

Qin Zhongyue didn't react much, "Their family has been like strangers to me for a long time. Whether they come back or not is none of my business. Even if they come back, do they dare to come to my house to recognize their relatives?

Even if they come to recognize me, it depends on whether I am willing or not?

I am now the Princess Xiaoyao, what are they?"

If anyone else heard Qin Zhongyue's words, it would be considered treasonous, but when Xiao Jingyi heard them, he felt relieved.

That's true. They had already severed their relationship, and with me here to protect them, the Shen family would probably not dare to do anything naughty.

But they really dare to do something weird.

The connections of the Shen family before they were confiscated and exiled did not dare to lend a hand, but with the Queen Mother behind them, they could only lend a hand.

With just a few words from the Queen Mother, the Shen family got in touch with the families they were originally on good terms with.

If they could just show off a little bit of the Queen Mother's connections, and those people could say a few words that could help, it wouldn't cost them anything. If anything happened, they could both distance themselves from the matter and get some benefits from the Queen Mother at the same time. Why not do it!

For example, as the year is coming to an end and it is time for the assessment of all officials, many people are thinking about moving up a level.

The Queen Mother could not promote them to a higher rank, but she could still keep a few people's positions intact, so these people were willing to help the Shen family in private.

But they are all from the Queen Mother's family, and others really don't want to help with this thankless task.

There are still some sober people on the empress dowager's side who don't want to get involved in muddy waters. The empress dowager said that if she is gone, her family will only decline faster. They are grasshoppers in the same boat, so they have to help each other whether they want to or not.

What's more, several of them saw that the emperor was going to take them down, and many of them were desperate and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. For a while, the Shen family's network of relationships was on the rise again.

Because many of the children of the capital's noble circles passed the imperial examinations and became Jinshi, even if they only ranked in the top three with not very good results, it was considered a glory for their descendants.

Many people held banquets.

All the invitations would be sent to the palace. Qin Zhongyue and Xiao Jingyi naturally would not pay attention to them. The Qin family was also invited, but Qin Zhongyue asked the Qin family not to go. There were already many things to do at home, and the Shen family was back. If his parents met them, they would definitely be bullied by someone with ulterior motives. If they went, not only would they suffer, but it would also bring honor to them.

Why is your face so big!

So no one from the Qin family went, and no one dared to blame them.

Those who want to cause trouble will not be given the opportunity to see the invitation by Princess Xiaoyao, so they can only arrange for an accidental encounter.

So many people went to the beauty class to apply for VIP cards.

I just want to wait for a chance encounter with Princess Xiaoyao or the women of the Qin family.

Even the daughters-in-law of the Qin family are fine.

Now someone has set his sights on the Hou family.

Although the Hou family is an imperial merchant family, they are still merchants after all. Especially the people that Hou's mother knows, they are basically from small families.

Suddenly, someone of high status took the initiative to make friends with her, and she was happy knowing that it was through her daughter's in-laws' family.

As long as you make friends and enter this circle, you will make friends with these people in the future. Merchants are profit-seeking and are happy to chat with the wife of the minister who takes the initiative to make friends with them.

After a few visits, the two became acquainted. The assistant minister's wife inquired from the marquis's wife and found out that Princess Xiaoyao, Jiang, and Jiang's two daughters-in-law all came to the beauty class that day. She also came that day, and brought a woman with her.

The marquis's wife thought the woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.

Seeing that she came with the Minister's wife, he thought she was her nanny and didn't take it seriously.

Gradually, more and more people came, but the Marquis's wife saw that the tone in which the assistant minister's wife spoke to the nanny made it seem that the woman did not seem like a nanny at all.

The wife of the Minister had a daughter of marriageable age. When Qin Sixi passed the imperial examination, the Minister's family sent a matchmaker to the Qin family to inquire about their intentions. However, the Qin family directly rejected her. The girl refused to eat or drink at home and was so angry that she didn't go out for a long time.

Today, he brought Dou to the Qin family specifically to bring trouble, and he also brought his daughter along.

To vent my daughter's anger, of course she needs to see it herself to feel relieved.

Of course, she couldn't get a VIP card for Dou. She would rather use the money to buy a headdress for the noble lady. She didn't tell Dou what she was doing there specifically.

Let her see for herself that they were living such a hard life outside, but the Qin family was living a prosperous life thanks to the daughter she gave birth to.

As a human being, seeing such a huge contrast, especially because of the child you gave birth to, you will get angry from time to time.

Sure enough, when Dou found out that this beauty class was actually a shop run by her rebellious daughter who should have been strangled to death at birth, she just wanted to burn the place down.

But she hasn't seen the rebellious girl yet, so she can't just attack her suddenly.

When the Minister's wife saw Dou's expression, she knew that it was the right decision to bring him here today.

She was the one who brought the person here, so it would not be appropriate to ask Dou to watch nearby. In order to stimulate Dou better, she spoke to the maid who did the facial for her.

"I brought this lady with me today. She is my sister. I want her to try out the beauty class. Can I let her use my VIP card once?

Use my stuff.”

The wife of the Minister said this with a bit of heartache, thinking that it was such a waste of her things.

But when I think about what might happen in a while, I feel that it's worth it.

"Yes ma'am, please follow me."

The maid took Dou to a small bed nearby and let her lie down.

Dou was reluctant at first, but when she saw that the other ladies were lying like this, she followed suit and lay down. She wanted to see what this place was all about.
