After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Mrs. Zhu was delighted when she heard this: "Please come in quickly."

Before she finished speaking, a woman in her twenties dressed in fancy clothes came in like the wind. When she saw the old lady, she bowed down and called out, "Mother!"

Old Madam Zhu quickly grabbed her daughter and looked at her again and again. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Okay, okay! Let me take a good look."

The woman was wearing a bright red jacket and skirt with golden phoenix flowers all over it, and a brocade satin cloak inlaid with silver. She had a pearl hairpin and a precious necklace on her head, which was eye-catching. She was the old lady's biological daughter, Shen Chongyan's younger sister, Shen Cunzhu.

The mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time, and they could not help crying together. Ning'er was secretly surprised that she had never seen the old lady lose her composure like this. Then she heard Shen Cunzhu crying, "My daughter is unfilial. I have not been able to serve you for several years. Is your mother safe?"

Old Madam Zhu held her daughter's hand and said, "I'm fine, but why is my son so thin?"

It turned out that since Shen Cunzhu married into the Dingguo Mansion, she has been deeply in love with her husband. A few years ago, the eldest son of Dingguo, Ding Zhuo, was transferred out of the capital for an official post. Shen Cunzhu could not bear the pain of separation between husband and wife, so she insisted on following him to Xiangnan. Now it has been four years.

Everyone rushed to persuade her, and Shen Cunzhu finally stopped. She took her mother's hand and sat on the couch, smiling, "It's all my fault. Now that I'm back, I can come to see you anytime."

She pushed the two children who were following her and said, "Hurry up and say hello to your grandmother."

The two children were as cute as fair skin and as young as golden boys. The older one was Shen Cunzhu's eldest daughter, now nine years old, and the younger one was only four and a half years old.

Old Madam Zhu loved her daughter with all her heart. Because her daughter was favored in the boudoir, she was raised until she was nineteen years old before she got married. Her birthday was older, and she would be twenty-nine after the New Year, but she looked only in her early twenties.

She smiled and said, "It's rare that your eldest aunt comes back. Come up and meet her quickly." She then instructed Xiuyu, "Why aren't Ying'er and Yao'er here yet? Go check on Guiyi Hall and tell the wives to come quickly." She called out again and again, "Go and inform the Marquis and the Second Master that our eldest girl is back." Her eyes and brows were filled with unspeakable joy.

Shen Cunzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. My husband and I have already agreed that we will celebrate the Flower Festival today and return home early tomorrow morning! Then we will have time to get close to mother and brother and sister-in-law."

Mother Shen was even more delighted when she heard this, but she was also a little worried: "If you don't go back at night, will your parents-in-law be okay?"

Shen Cunzhu lowered her head and gently stroked her belly. A maternal glow appeared on her bright and beautiful face. She said softly, "My husband and my parents have agreed. Now I have another baby in my belly. It's just over three months. If I don't stay at my mother's place for a night, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year if I want to come again."

Old Madam Zhu was overjoyed for a moment, but at the same time she complained to her mother, "Why are you running around while pregnant?" She ordered the maids to serve tea, milk, and soft fur pillows.

Ning'er was mesmerized by the sight of the mother and daughter meeting each other. When Chuncao saw this, she knew that the girl envied others for being loved so much by their mothers, and she began to miss her mother.

She felt a little sad, but she also understood that her parents could not be replaced by anyone, so even though she felt heartbroken, there was nothing she could do.

Hearing the old lady calling Ning'er forward, Shen Cunzhu was very curious to see a completely unfamiliar face. After accepting her gift, he took out a gemstone jade brooch from his collar and gave it to Ning'er, saying with a smile, "What a pretty girl! I wonder which family is so lucky to have such a pretty girl."

Zhu smiled and said, "It's our family's blessing." Seeing Shen Cunzhu's eyes widened, she explained, "She is the granddaughter of your fifth aunt's family. She just came from Jiangdu in the first month of the year. When I saw her, I loved her so much that I didn't know what to do, so I just let her stay. Coincidentally, her last name is also Shen."

Shen Cunzhu said happily: "We are indeed a family. Just call me aunt." He then asked her name.

Ning'er squatted down and bowed, then said, "Hello, auntie. My name is Chao Ning."

Shen Cunzhu said with a smile: "Shen Chaoning, what a good name. It sounds more like our girl. I wonder which character Chao is it?"

Ning Er smiled and said, "It's the Chao of Chaoyang."

At this moment, Shen Chongyan had just lifted the curtain and came in. Hearing Ning'er say the word "Chaoyang", he couldn't help but ask, "What Chaoyang?"

Shen Cunzhu was even happier to see his brother, so he continued, "You're talking about Miss Shen's name, which is the character Chao in Chaoyang."

Shen Chongyan was stunned, and heard his sister continue to say: "Shen Chaoning, it's really a good name."

Shen Chongyan's heart was in a state of confusion, as if some original trajectory had been disrupted. He tried hard to recall in his mind when Ning'er started using the name "Chao Ning"?

But in her previous life, it was not until after that incident that she started using this name again. And in this life, I clearly had her under my nose, so why would she suddenly call me Chao Ning?

Shen Chongyan couldn't help but get nervous, and even began to wonder if Ning'er had come back again? ! But the matter of rebirth was too bizarre, and he was afraid that he would overthink it and worry too much, which would backfire and ruin the harmonious relationship between Ning'er and himself.

If the occasion wasn't really wrong, Shen Chongyan would probably have confirmed it with Ning'er immediately.

But the room was full of people, and his mother was happily talking to him and his sister. Shen Chongyan had to suppress his emotions for the time being and deal with it verbally, but his mind was somewhere else.

Soon, everyone in the mansion arrived, and Luo Miaoyun came late with her two children. When Shen Ruyao saw Ning'er, she was a little angry, but she remembered her brother's advice and didn't say anything. She just followed her mother obediently.

When everyone was gathered, the steward from the outer courtyard came in with a message, reporting that all the horses and carriages were ready, and they were just waiting for the master's orders and could set out immediately.

During the Flower Festival in Beijing, there has always been a custom of going to places with blooming flowers to enjoy the flowers, worship the gods, and go on picnics and have elegant banquets. Even ordinary people would go to places with beautiful mountains and rivers for an outing.

A family like the Shen family would naturally not compete with the common people for land. The Xinyuan Marquis's mansion held the Flower Festival Banquet in a manor outside the west city. There were not only lush mountains and lush flowers and trees, but also a clear lake for viewing.

It was not easy for such a large family of women, scholars, old and young to travel. Including the maids and servants who accompanied them and the various commonly used replacement clothes and utensils, there were more than a dozen large carts, heading towards the west of the city.

Madam Zhu was interested in doing such an elegant thing, and Shen Chongyao was the first to agree. He took charge of all the arrangements for the elegant banquet both outside and inside the manor, and then he took the lead and left the west city before the large group of people from the marquis's mansion set off.

The weather had been sunny for several days, causing a slight dust to rise on the roads outside the city. Shen Chongyao was in high spirits as he had already settled the matter in his mind, so he was enjoying the flowers and riding a horse along the way. Suddenly, he heard a commotion behind him. Turning back, he saw a team of extremely powerful black cavalrymen roaring past!

The horses' hooves trampled on the road, raising clouds of dust. The riders were all strong and sturdy, their postures were as straight as spears. The leader saw him looking at him and cast a cold glance. The look was so sharp that Shen Chongyao couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He realized instantly:

These are not just guards who are just there to watch over the house, but elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles!
