After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

"Second Miss, have you discovered anything? You asked me to send Fifth Miss back. Do you have something to say to me alone?" Faner asked.

She has been following Shen Qingyin since she was seven years old.

Over the years, she could keenly perceive the Second Young Lady's intentions.

In the garden, when she thought everything was an accident, the second young lady asked her to look around to see if there was anyone. Later, she went to the top of the mountain alone to check. She felt that this matter might not be simple.

After coming out of the garden, the second young lady went to the eldest lady's place without even changing her dirty clothes, which was also strange...

From childhood to adulthood, the second young lady has suffered a lot of grievances, but it is the first time that she is so sad and upset as today...

Shen Qingyin wiped away her tears and motioned to Faner to close the door.

When she came back, she whispered:

"In the future, I'm afraid we'll have to grow an extra pair of eyes."

It is not difficult to guess that the reason why the mother did this was naturally to win the position of a general's wife for Shen Rongyue.

Before she married into the general's mansion, everything had to be done with caution.

My mother will take action once, but there is no guarantee that she will not take action a second time...

"Especially pay attention to the people in Lotus Courtyard..." Shen Qingyin said again.

Fan'er quickly came to her senses. She widened her eyes in disbelief: "Second Miss, is it, is it the Madam who wants to attack you?"

Shen Qingyin smiled bitterly and remained speechless.

But Fan'er understood, and she said in a panic: "Then let's go find the old lady and the master quickly, they will definitely not ignore it!"

Shen Qingyin shook his head lightly.

Even if she went to find her father, he would definitely not make the decision for her.

What my father is seeking right now is nothing more than a smooth marriage with the general's mansion, so that he can become the general's father-in-law as soon as possible...

Things like this tell him that he can do nothing but suppress it.

And in order to suppress the matter, who knows what he will do... In his previous life, he personally ordered the execution of Shen Rongyue for the sake of the Shen family's reputation...

As for her grandmother, she used to believe it completely, but now she is not sure...

Even if her grandmother really wanted to help her, she might not be able to persuade her father...

These are not the most important.

the most important is--

"What do you think the General's Mansion will think of the Shen family if such a scandal is exposed?" Shen Qingyin looked at Fan'er.

Fan'er was stunned, bit her lip, and was speechless.

That’s right. Once any word of this matter leaked out, not to mention the general’s mansion, even ordinary families would not be willing to marry into the Shen family.

In the future, the young ladies of the Shen family may even have difficulty getting married...

"But, Second Miss, are we going to go on like this? What if something happens again..." Fan'er said worriedly.

Shen Qingyin looked gloomy: "For now, we can only take one step at a time."

After a pause, he continued: "But we also need to make a plan..."

Although the matter cannot be made public, it is impossible to sit and wait for death...

next morning.

Shen Zhinian, Mrs. Du, and Old Lady Shen were all dressed neatly and waiting at the gate of the Shen family.

Originally, there was no such etiquette, but a lady of the first rank of the state came in person to propose marriage for the general who protects the country. This was truly an honor that the Shen family had never had before. How could they just sit at home and wait instead of going out to greet him?

Shen Zhinian paced back and forth, looking nervous. He didn't look like he was waiting for someone to come to his house to propose marriage, but rather like he was waiting for a superior official to come and assess his performance.

There was a hint of nervousness on Mrs. Du's face. She stood beside Shen Zhinian and looked towards the intersection ahead frequently.

Old Mrs. Shen, who was standing behind the two of them, had a worried look on her face and was looking forward to it. She would occasionally lower her head to adjust her clothes, fearing that something might go wrong.

"Here they come! Someone is coming from the General's Mansion!" At the end of Chen hour and the beginning of Si hour, the servant guarding the intersection came running back to deliver the message.

They all looked over and saw two horses in front pulling a spacious and luxurious carriage. The logo of the General's Mansion was hung on the top of the carriage shed. It was turned from the intersection and surrounded by a group of servants.

Following closely behind, there were three or four more carriages, obviously loaded with gifts.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage arrived in front of the mansion. Madam Mu got off the carriage in front of her, her face flushed.

The matchmaker who followed him was the one who had come a few days ago.

Shen Zhinian hurriedly went to greet her, bowed and said, "Madam, it is an honor to have you here, my humble home."

After saying that, he called Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Du over to pay their respects.

Madam Mu smiled and stopped him: "I came here today just to propose marriage, no need to be so formal."

Shen Zhinian answered "yes" repeatedly and led Madam Mu to the front hall to chat.

Both parties sat down, and after some pleasantries, Madam Mu said, "Originally, Yan'er should have come in person, but because he still has some work assigned by the emperor to do, it will take some time before he can return to the capital, so I am here to replace him."

Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "The general holds an important position and should focus on official duties. It is a great honor for our Shen family that the lady of the state can come."

Mrs. Mu asked the butler to hand over the gift list.

Shen Zhinian took it with both hands, took a look at it, suppressed the joy in his heart, and handed it to Mrs. Du.

When Mrs. Du saw it at first glance, she was delighted.

In addition to the necessary betrothal geese, the gift list also included a lot of gold, silver, jade, silk, and even a set of top-grade mutton-fat jade accessories made by a famous artist... As expected of a great general's mansion, they spent so much just to propose marriage...

But after the joy, a trace of sadness inevitably arises.

How wonderful it would be if all this was for Yue'er...

"Madam, Mr. Shen, Madam, may I be able to meet the young lady first? I have a gift that I want to give to her personally."

Mrs. Mu's words made the hall suddenly quiet.

Shen Zhinian and Old Lady Shen looked at Mrs. Du together.

When the matchmaker came that day, Mrs. Du knew that the person the matchmaker was talking about was Shen Qingyin, but she lied and said it was the legitimate daughter Shen Rongyue.

Now is the time to tell the truth.

But since it was so difficult to say it, naturally Mrs. Du had to come in person. This was something that Mrs. Du herself proposed last night, and the three of them had already agreed on it.

Mrs. Du looked at Madam Mu with an embarrassed expression: "To be honest, Madam, the child likes to do good deeds on weekdays. Just a few days ago, when he entered the capital, he saved a seriously injured person on the roadside. These two days, he heard that there was a miracle doctor who could save his life, so he went to invite him in person this morning. He is not in the house at the moment..."

Shen Zhinian and Old Lady Shen frowned immediately upon hearing this.

Mrs. Du did not do what they agreed upon at all!

The intention of these words was obvious. There was no denial at all that the person to be married was the eldest daughter Shen Rongyue, and what was said was indeed done by Shen Rongyue.

Not only did it cleverly show Shen Rongyue's kindness, it also prevented Madam Mu from seeing the real person...

In this way, if she really married Shen Rongyue in the future, the General's Mansion would be speechless if they said it was all a misunderstanding...

It is obvious that Mrs. Du still wants to fish in troubled waters and leave the position of the general's wife to Shen Rongyue!

Shen Zhinian, who understood what was going on, looked gloomy.

He had never realized before that Mrs. Du was so courageous!

He was no longer confused. He could indeed make the General's Mansion speechless on the surface, but what about secretly? As Shen Rongyue said, if he secretly provoked the General's Mansion to resent and hate him, what benefit could the Shen family get?

This short-sighted idiot!

Shen Zhinian gritted his teeth in anger, but in front of Madam Mu, he didn't know how to say it...

Old Mrs. Shen also glanced at Mrs. Du with an unpleasant expression.
