Shen Zhixiu looked around at the crowd and said, "Shen Zhao is the eldest grandson of the Shen family. I have my own arrangements for his whereabouts."

"After getting married, he will move to other prefectures and counties, maybe in the southwest or northwest."

"The purpose is to let him practice in the local area for a few years, learn how to be an official, and experience the hardships of people's livelihood."

In fact, Shen Zhixiu made such a decision not entirely for Su Qingyu. This was his plan when Shen Zhao and Shen Hong entered the Hanlin Academy a year ago.

The original plan was to let them concentrate on studying knowledge for three years and then release it, but now it is just ahead of schedule.

Shen Zhixiu subconsciously twisted the silver needle pinned to his sleeve and glanced at Su Qingyu.

She lowered her head, unable to see clearly the expression on her face. It can be vaguely seen that the corners of the lips are slightly raised.

The person who reacted the most to Shen Zhixiu's words was Chen.

Shen Zhiheng also looked surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Zhixiu had this plan in mind. He glanced at the old lady subconsciously and saw the old lady sitting on the nanmu Taishi chair with her face as usual. Shen Zhiheng knew that the old lady approved of this.

Chen was about to speak. She wanted to ask Shen Zhixiu why he was so harsh on his heirs.

But before he could speak, Shen Zhiheng stopped him with his eyes. At this time, it is not the time to argue about this matter.

Princess Yongjia immediately became anxious when she heard that Shen Zhixiu planned to release Shen Zhao.

If it was a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, she could still consider it. But Shen Zhixiu said, it's either the southwest or the northwest, so how can that work?

When officials go out, if the wife of the head of the family does not go with them, they have to serve their mother-in-law in their old house. The husband is away from home all year round, so naturally he is surrounded by concubines to take care of him. If things go on like this, it is not impossible to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife.

But if we follow, the southwest is a wild land, and the northwest is windy, sandy and bitterly cold. How could she be willing to let her pampered and raised daughter suffer with Shen Zhao.

"Master Shen, is it inappropriate for you to do this? If you had said earlier that you would release all your nephews, my Li family may not have agreed to this marriage."

"Now that we are about to get married, and you have made such a decision, are you deceiving my Li family?"

Shen Zhixiu bowed slightly, "I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official. Speaking of which, this matter is also a private matter of the Shen family. Is the princess being too lenient?"

"If the princess doesn't want to marry the princess and suffer hardship because of Shen Zhao's release, that's okay. The lower official will follow the princess into the palace now. The Shen family is willing to bear the crime of resisting the imperial decree together with the Li family, and will also ask the emperor to take it back. Imperial decree.”

Even when talking to Princess Yongjia, Shen Zhixiu's tone remained cold.

Princess Yongjia frowned so hard she could kill a fly, "Shen Zhixiu, you..."

If this reason spreads out, Chaoyun will not be ridiculed by the whole capital? Which family would call off the marriage because the husband is living abroad?

Besides, Chaoyun has already consummated her marriage with Shen Zhao. If the marriage is called off, what good family can she marry into again?

Princess Yongjia had many thoughts and wanted to confront Shen Zhixiu head-on, but she lacked the confidence. But he was unwilling to let go of his attitude like this.

Seeing Princess Yongjia, Mrs. Chen also disapproved of Shen Zhao's release and thought this was an opportunity.

Then he said: "The princess is worried that the princess and I have the same idea. How can the family feel at ease when the children are released outside just after they get married?"

"In my opinion, if you find a job in the capital, the princess can always see the princess."

The old lady glared at Chen, and Shen Zhiheng coughed quickly to stop Chen's unfinished words.

Then he said, "I don't think so. A good man should have ambitions and should focus on his future."

Even if he didn't agree with what Shen Zhixiu said in his heart, in front of outsiders, the brothers must speak out unanimously.

He believed that Shen Zhixiu made this decision for Shen Zhao's good. So I planned to wait for the person who sent away the Li family to have a good discussion with him in private.

But as soon as Mrs. Chen intervened, it was obvious that the eldest and third bedrooms of the Shen family were at odds. At this time, he must speak up and support Shen Zhixiu unconditionally.

This is also the tacit understanding between their brothers.

Although Chen's words were interrupted by Shen Zhiheng, they finally gave Princess Yongjia a step forward.

She just heard a snort, "Shen Zhao is not only the eldest master of the Shen family, but also the son-in-law of my Li family."

"Lord Shen has not yet become the chief assistant below one person but above ten thousand people. The appointment and dismissal of this official department is not yours to decide."

"I don't believe it. I want to keep a son-in-law, but I can't."

Princess Yongjia's words are tantamount to agreeing that the marriage with the Shen family will continue as usual. But she was determined to intervene in Shen Zhao's whereabouts.

Li Jingchuan knew that this matter would be revealed today. He hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said to Shen Zhixiu: "We can't discuss this matter until the two children get married."

Shen Zhixiu would naturally give face to Prince Shan and said with a smile: "That's natural. It's really too early to discuss it at this time."

It would be better if the Li family did not break off the engagement, which would save them a lot of trouble. As for Shen Zhao's whereabouts, he had his own arrangements, and it was not the Li family's turn to intervene.

Mrs. Chen talked to Princess Yongjia about the interesting things in the inner house again, and the two families finally eased their relationship.

After all, the Shen family also killed an aunt with a cane, so they had an explanation for their sake.

Li Chaoyun, who had been sitting next to Princess Yongjia, knew that she could only marry Shen Zhao in this life.

In the past, she had always been attracted to Shen Zhixiu, and felt that marrying a man like him was a good destination for a woman.

But today, when she was sitting in the hall of the Shen family, she suddenly recognized her position clearly.

Her position in the Shen family depends on Shen Zhao. Shen Zhao's status among men is the same as her status among women.

Judging from Shen Zhixiu's status in the Shen family today, as long as Shen Zhixiu is in power in this family, Shen Zhao will not be able to stand out.

The love that was ignorant when I was young collapsed suddenly when faced with reality. She actually had no intention of looking at him anymore. She just lowered her head and thought about her future in the Shen family and her future with Shen Zhao.

She was very upset. Seeing that her mother-in-law was still talking to Mrs. Shen about herself, she spoke.

"Mother, I want to go out and get some air."

Before Princess Yongjia finished her greetings, she turned to look at Li Yunzhou.

"Yunzhou, you go out with your sister and just walk around the neighborhood."

Li Yunzhou bowed and replied, "Yes, mother-in-law."

If you don't know the inside story of the Li family, you will definitely think that the two are mother and son, and they are a loving mother and a filial son.

Su Qingyu has always been puzzled as to why Princess Yongjia was willing to let this illegitimate son go to the Northern Frontier.

Now it seems that Li Yunzhou is pretending too well. Princess Yongjia thought that he was just a well-kept cat and dog at home. Unexpectedly, this man turned into a wolf when he arrived in northern Xinjiang, turned around and bit the Li family.

When Old Madam Shen saw that Li Chaoyun was about to go out for a walk, she told Shen Zhao, "You accompany the princess and the fourth young master around the garden and be careful."

Shen Zhao hurriedly stood up and responded, striding to Li Chaoyun's side and making a gesture of invitation.

After what happened today, Shen Zhao was thinking over and over in his heart.

His marriage to Li Chaoyun was indeed a good marriage for him.

Not to mention anything else, but with a mother-in-law like Princess Yongjia, why should he worry about his career not going smoothly?
