Although Chen Yuan's sisters-in-law did not tear Chen Yuan apart, they were always dissatisfied with their sister-in-law's behavior.

This time, Chen Yuan went back to her parents' home again. No one knew what would happen in the future. People in Beijing were talking about the Yiyong Earl's Mansion like that, and Yiyong Earl's daughters-in-law finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The eldest daughter-in-law was laughed at when she went out socializing.

The second daughter-in-law was not laughed at by anyone, but no one wanted to talk to her.

The third daughter-in-law was subjected to a lot of ridicule.

In short, the three sisters-in-law joined forces to make such a fuss, and the Yiyong Marquis's mansion was suddenly in chaos due to the disturbance caused by these women.

Finally, Mrs. Chen was cornered by her daughters-in-law and had no choice but to promise to find a family for Chen Yuan as soon as possible.

The Chen family was reprimanded, and now the reputation of the female members has also been ruined because of Chen Yuan's willfulness.

The Chen couple thought about it again and again, and finally found a family suitable for their daughter Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan got married on the day the rice turned yellow.

The bright red sedan passed through the long rice fields and stopped in front of an adobe house.

However, this time, Chen Yuan's luck was not so good. Although the man she married was also a penniless scholar, there was a huge difference between an ambitious scholar and a decadent scholar.

The scholar Chen Yuan married was the latter.

However, that person was good at disguising himself, pretending to be ambitious and promising, and deceived the people in Yiyong Marquis's mansion, and also deceived her...

Before the veil was lifted, Chen Yuan was still dreaming of becoming a noble lady. But after the veil was lifted and she saw the flash of impatience in his eyes, Chen Yuan's heart sank.

If it were just that, it would be fine. That man was a scholar on the surface, but in fact he had all the five vices, including eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. What Chen Yuan could not stand the most was that he also beat his wife!

.........

After Zhao Xi recovered from his injuries and successfully obtained the imperial seal, he began to think about one thing.

This matter lingered in Zhao Xi's mind. If he didn't do it, he felt that he would regret it deeply at the end of his life.

As he listened to the Minister of Revenue standing below and reporting to him on the grain and harvest conditions in the fields across the country, his mind was completely focused outside the palace.

It was already late autumn. If he remembered correctly, around this time last year, Zhou Ming brought back news that Marquis Pingyang was missing.

Now it has been a year since the person disappeared. A whole year has passed. I am afraid that the person must have died outside.

He wanted to ask Shen Rong in person what she thought, whether she was willing to follow him into the palace, and he also wanted to thank her in person.

Since Zhao Xi had made up his mind, he did not hesitate. After giving some instructions, he took a few of his close subordinates and headed towards Tao Village.

He must get to the bottom of it!

Zhao Xi, with his extremely trusted subordinates, headed straight for Yunmeng County.

After the group arrived in Yunmeng County without stopping, Zhao Xi learned from his neighbors that the whole family had moved back to Taohua Village!

It only takes one hour to get to Taohua Village from the county seat by riding at full speed.

The group immediately mounted their horses and headed straight for Taohua Village.

Zhao Xi watched them getting closer and closer to Taohua Village. The horse under his crotch gradually slowed down, and Zhao Xi's face became more and more ugly.

The men behind him felt that the horse was slowing down, but they didn't dare to ask and could only hide behind him like quails.

Zhao Xi watched the Daqing Mountain getting closer and closer to her. The courage in his heart at this moment was like a ball with its skin punctured, and it deflated all at once.

He came here so suddenly and beat that master, but he never asked Shen Rong's opinion.

At this moment, Zhao Xi actually felt like he didn't dare to face Shen Rong directly.

But now that he was here, the two places were thousands of miles apart and it was not easy for him to make the trip, so he had to ask Shen Rong in person about this matter.

Zhao Xi and his group entered Taohua Village quietly.

Zhao Xi was unsure of Shen Rong's attitude, so she decided to wait until dark before asking her.

.........

Since the Chinese New Year this year, Gong Leping and his sister have been sleeping in a room by themselves.

Shen Rong enjoys quietness, and this time when she moved back to the old house, Shen Rong still slept alone.

Zhao Xi came here to slander him.

The noise he made as he came here was so small that even the dogs in the village were not alarmed.

When Shen Rong woke up, she found a dark shadow standing beside the bed. She was so scared that her scalp went numb and she almost screamed.

"Who are you?" Shen Rong stared at the shadow warily.

Could it be that Changsheng has returned?

Looking again, the shadow doesn’t look like it!

Zhao Xi stepped forward and opened the bed curtain.

Shen Rong saw the face in the moonlight.

"Why... are you in my room?" Shen Rong didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhao Xi remained calm, staring at her face with heavy eyes. "That's right, I have something to tell my wife."

Shen Rong subconsciously pulled the quilt in front of her chest and said uncomfortably: "Can't we say no tomorrow? It's getting late now..."

As he said this, he deliberately looked outside, and sure enough, the moon outside had disappeared, and it was obviously very late.

Zhao Xi was silent for a while, "You saved me twice, what do you want? Tell me!"

Shen Rong didn't expect that this man would not sleep in the middle of the night and run to stand beside her bed just to ask this.

Shen Rong thought for a while and shook her head, "I feel like there's nothing missing."

Zhao Xi didn't expect Shen Rong to answer like this. He frowned, "Power?"

Shen Rong shook her head. "What do I need that for as a woman? As long as I can control my own life and freedom, power is not important."

Zhao Xi uttered another word: "Status?"

Shen Rong shook her head. "Human greed is endless. When one's position is high, one still wants to be higher. That's meaningless..."

"Gold and silver?"

Shen Rong shook her head again, "Gold and silver are enough."

After listening to Shen Rong's words, Zhao Xi remained silent for a long time.

Before he came, he had an idea in his mind that the woman who could follow that fool Changsheng without regrets was not the girl he had seen in the capital.

Those so-called fame, wealth and money could not impress her at all.

"What if I give you a position second only to the emperor?" Zhao Xi said unwillingly.

Shen Rong's eyebrows jumped, a little surprised.

This person has such a big mouth!

However, thinking that they were alone at the moment, Shen Rong did not want to provoke him. She just yawned and said, "Mr. Zhao, it's getting late. There are guest rooms in front. Why don't you go and rest first?"

Zhao Xi heard this and stood there without saying a word. After a long while, he said, "You don't believe I can do what I said?"

Shen Rong thought to herself: What does it matter whether I believe it or not? She has a fairy cave and has died once before. She really sees through money, fame, status and power.

At this moment, she wanted to be as low-key as possible and didn't want to attract anyone's attention at all.

"Since you dare to say so, you must have the ability. But I am just a woman and I don't have any great ambitions."

Zhao Xi's face was tense. He wanted to tell Shen Rong that he was the Emperor of Dayong, but after opening his mouth, he still didn't reveal his identity.

He felt that even if he told Shen Rong about his identity now, it would not impress her, and the only effect he could have was to suppress her with the imperial power.

That's not what he wants.
