I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

When Changsheng hit people, he used some strength. Those who fell to the ground were at most unconscious. There were also a few who lay on the ground with their backs up, holding their stomachs and groaning, but none of them died.

Shen Rong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"Are you okay?" Shen Rong pulled Changsheng up and down to check him.

Fortunately, they had let the two children stay in the space on the carriage. If they had brought two children with them, I'm afraid Changsheng would be overwhelmed.

"It's okay, let's leave quickly!" Changsheng shook his head and stopped his wife's hand from touching him.

Seeing that Changsheng looked normal and did not look like he was injured, Shen Rong nodded and left the alley with Changsheng.

The two got on the carriage, and Shen Rong released the two children from the space.

Pingping and Anan were eating fruit. When they came out, one of them was holding grapes in his hand and the other was holding peaches in his hand. They were eating them with great relish!

"Mom, the fruit covered with thorns that you planted before is smelly again. I can smell it even when I'm standing under the tree." Pingping saw his mother and father and hurriedly told his mother about his discovery.

An An, who was standing by, ate a grape and disagreed, "It doesn't stink."

Shen Rong frowned after hearing An An's words. Logically speaking, the fruits planted in the space would not rot, but Ping Ping said that the fruits smelled bad. Maybe that's what durian smells like.

Shen Rong said: "Let's go back first and talk about it later!"

"Oh!"

When Changsheng heard his wife say that she was going back, he pulled the reins in his hand and drove the carriage away, while Shen Rong and the two children sat in the carriage.

Today it was Changsheng who drove the carriage. As it was not convenient for outsiders to be present for what they were going to do today, they did not let the coachman follow.

When they went out in the morning, the coachman was nervous for a long time when he saw that his master was going to drive the carriage, fearing that the mansion would fire him as a coachman.

"Wife, should we go back home or have lunch first?" Changsheng's voice came from outside the carriage.

Shen Rong was just about to say that she wanted to go home to eat, but when she turned around, she saw two children looking at her eagerly, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"Let's go to Helou to eat!" He earned eight thousand taels of silver from selling flowers today, and took the two children to have a good meal.

They had eaten at Helou last time and the food there was good. Shen Rong thought that the two children had never been there, so she decided to take them to Helou for dinner.

Helou is one of the three largest restaurants in the capital. It is packed with customers at dinner time. When the family of four arrived at Helou, there were no private rooms available.

When the waiter saw that they had female relatives with them, he led them to a window seat surrounded by a screen, which was considered private.

Shen Rong couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the business was so good, even the waiter was so considerate.

After sitting down, Shen Rong ordered dishes according to the tastes of Changsheng and the two children. While waiting for the dishes to be served, someone outside the screen suddenly mentioned the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

The couple couldn't help but listen attentively.

"Hey, have you heard? The heir to the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion is a fool!"

"Hey! Do you need to tell me this news? Who in the capital doesn't know it?"

"Ah! I thought I knew it first. Tell me what's going on. Didn't they say there's no heir?"

"I heard from my uncle's cousin's second sister-in-law's son that because the idiot was stupid, he was sent to the countryside to be raised since he was a child. Now that the Pingyang Marquis's branch has no heir, they brought him back."

"What's that? I know that idiot has a beautiful wife!"

"Otherwise I would say that he is lucky. He has become a fool. Not only does he have a beautiful wife, but he also has such a large family business to inherit."

"Come on! What kind of place is the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion? What can a famous poor family in the capital inherit?"

"A title of nobility! After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

"Oh... then you don't know. I heard that the fool came back last year and submitted a memorial to the Emperor, but the Emperor's order has not come down yet. It seems that our Emperor is still wise."

At a table in the middle of the lobby, three men sang in unison and told everything that had happened at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Rong didn't expect that she would hear gossip about her own family after going out. She felt a little complicated for a moment.

Changsheng, who was standing aside, didn't show any change in his expression. He just quietly picked up food for the two children.

When they returned home, they were extremely low-key. Apart from the people in their clan, only the people in the Zhenguo Mansion knew their origins, as well as the couple Chen Yuan and Gu Zhaoming whom they had met a few days ago.

Shen Rong suspected that if it wasn't the Gong clan member who lived in the West Mansion who spread the news, then it was Chen Yuan who was behind it.

When they first arrived, Changsheng's brain was not well yet, and the Gong family did not spread their story. Now that they know that Changsheng's brain is well, they probably won't spread it. In the end, Shen Rong placed her suspicion on Chen Yuan.

After all, it was such a coincidence that as soon as they met her and Changsheng, these rumors spread outside.

"Let's eat first! Go home early after eating." Changsheng reminded Shen Rong in a gentle voice when he saw that she was slow to pick up her chopsticks.

"Ah."

Shen Rong guessed correctly, these rumors were indeed spread by Chen Yuan.

After she met Shen Rong and his wife, she went back to her parents' home and asked her brothers to investigate the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Only then did she find out that the idiot Changsheng had become the only heir to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and that the Zhenguo Duke Mansion had also helped submit a petition requesting to inherit the title.

Chen Yuan felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought that Shen Rong was about to become the marquis's wife, while she was still just the family member of a sixth-rank minor official.

He immediately wanted to sabotage the matter of Pingyang Marquis's inheritance of the title. As long as everyone in the capital knew that the heir to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was a fool, the emperor would definitely be forced to suppress the petition for inheritance of the title under pressure.

Therefore, this scene happened.

Shen Rong and his wife knew the seriousness of the matter, so they immediately returned to the mansion to seek advice from the old lady.

Although Shen Rong knew that the best way to dispel the rumors was to prove that Changsheng was not a fool.

But how to prove it becomes a problem.

The two returned to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion and went straight to Minghui Courtyard.

After hearing the rumors spread by Shen Rong and his wife, the old lady was silent for a while and said, "In the past, in February, many noble families in the capital held banquets, and they invited many people to each banquet. If you and Shi Ming went to a banquet, these rumors would be self-defeating. Unfortunately, our Pingyang Marquis Mansion has withdrawn from that circle for too long. I am afraid that even if we want to join, we will not receive any invitations..."

Shen Rong opened her mouth, wanting to ask if someone with a post could take them in.

But the old lady only took one look at Shen Rong and knew what she meant. She shook her head and said, "If you bother Mr. Zhou Er about this matter, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."

Shen Rong didn't expect that the old lady guessed what she wanted to say before she even opened her mouth.

"Madam, I don't understand. This is just a piece of cake for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Why don't you agree?"

"In the interactions between the various prefectures in the capital, apart from helping each other among in-laws, the emphasis is on mutual exchanges.

Although you saved Mr. Zhou Er's life before, he also saved Brother Ping and helped us solve our worries. This way, we are even.

In the future when our two families interact, if we ask for something, we must first show the benefits we can give to the other party.

If there is no benefit but some friendship, then what is consumed is the past friendship. But if there is not even much friendship, then what is owed is a favor.

As the saying goes, favors are more important than anything else. When we need to repay a favor in the future, maybe the other party will only ask us to do a small favor, but that small favor may be harder to do than ascending to heaven for a family like ours.
