Zhou Chengan said helplessly: "She is the daughter of a merchant family."

When Shen Lanxi thought about the situation in Prince Ji's Mansion, she immediately understood that Prince Ji's Mansion was pushing a bastard out in exchange for wealth.

Although merchants have money, they are at the bottom of the social hierarchy. It is high for merchants to marry into the Ji Palace.

"Have you seen that woman?"

Zhou Chengan frowned and said, "I have seen it."

"Do you like it?" Shen Lanxi asked casually.

Zhou Chengan immediately lost his temper: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, the elders have already decided on this marriage."

Shen Lanxi: "From the look of you, it seems like you don't like that woman."

Zhou Chengan felt a little embarrassed and stammered.

"You used to follow Yunxue and play with us, and you always spoke freely. Now that you have grown up, you have learned to hide things and don't tell the truth." Shen Lanxi said half-jokingly.

"No, Sister Lan Xi, I just..." The experience of being sent to the north over the years made him understand one thing: it was already very difficult for him to marry the daughter of a respectable family, so how could he dare to ask for more.

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "Since you came to see me, you believe in me, and go back with peace of mind and wait for my news!"

Zhou Chengan thought he would be questioned to the core, but unexpectedly, no one asked any more questions. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister Lan Xi, I'll leave Sister Yun Xue's matter to you. I will definitely repay you in the future!" Zhou Cheng'an made the promise carefully.

Shen Lanxi waved her hand: "I'll have someone take you out. Don't tell anyone else about your visit to my place!"

Zhou Chengan immediately promised: "I will definitely not tell anyone else."

He sent the person away and then called the secret guard.

"One person will keep an eye on him, and one will check who he has contacted since returning to the capital. Also, go to the north to verify whether what he said is true!"

"Yes!"

At this time, no matter who comes near her, you must be wary!

……

The women in the Shen family thought that Shen Yuanhe and Shen Yuanrui would open the box given by the Tenth Princess on their way back.

As a result, when they got home, they didn't mention it a word until they went back to their rooms to rest.

Several girls looked unhappy.

After Shen Yuanhe and Shen Yuanrui returned to the room, they immediately took out the box.

The gift from the princess must be luxurious and exquisite. If I had opened it in front of all the elders and sisters, would I have been respectful? Would I have been polite and modest?

They didn't have much in their hands to begin with, and since this was a gift from the princess, it was of great significance, so they would definitely keep it and pass it on to their children.

No matter what others think, this is a gift from the princess sister-in-law to them, and they will not give it out as a favor.

"Sister, what's in your box?" Shen Yuanrui asked Shen Yuanhe excitedly.

"I will clean my hands before opening it, don't rush me!" Shen Yuanhe also looked happy.

After opening the box, they were both stunned.

Inside the box was a gold bracelet of ordinary workmanship. Before the Shen family was ransacked, they would not even look at such stuff and would use it to reward the servants.

"Could it be that the princess's people took it by mistake?" Shen Yuanhe hurriedly picked it up to have a look. He thought there must be some mystery on the bracelet, but to his surprise, there was nothing on it and it was so light.

"Why is the weight wrong?" Shen Yuanhe asked in confusion. Shen Yuanrui's heart skipped a beat and she quickly opened her box.

The identical gold bracelets were obviously custom-made at the same jewelry store.

"Yours is the same as mine." Shen Yuanhe took the table from his sister and weighed it in his hand.

Even the weight is the same.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Shen Yuanrui hadn't thought about those things yet.

Shen Yuanhe said with an unpleasant expression: "I didn't expect the princess would send us away with two inferior goods."

If they had known this, they would have opened it in front of the women in the mansion.

Shen Yuanrui was about to cry after hearing what Shen Yuanhe said.

How could a princess of the royal family actually send them fake goods?

It would be fine if they were just insignificant people, but they are the princess's future sisters-in-law, two of her closest people. Why are they being dismissed like beggars?

"Sister, do you think the princess did it on purpose or did the maid take the wrong thing?" Shen Yuanrui still had hope in her heart.

Shen Yuanhe snorted coldly: "How could I have taken the wrong one? How could there be such crudely made goods in the palace? It's obvious that it's a cheap item bought from a low-end gold shop!"

If this gets out, it won't be the princess who will lose face, but theirs.

"It's obvious that the princess despises our backgrounds and is using the bracelet to pressure us."

Shen Yuanrui's face immediately fell.

"I'm going to tell my brother." After I marry the princess, I'll let my brother deal with her.

Shen Yuanhe originally thought that since she was a princess of the royal family, they could not afford to offend her. But then she thought, even if she was a princess, she could not treat her sister-in-law like this.

"Come on, I'll go with you!"

After Shen Yuanxin was executed according to the family rules, he was confined to his room to recuperate. He has not been released yet, but in other aspects, he has been treated according to the rules for the legitimate son.

When someone came to see him, the servant in the mansion did not stop them.

The ancestral hall will be opened tomorrow, and Shen Yuanxin will be registered under the name of Princess Minrou. From tomorrow onwards, Shen Yuanxin will be the legitimate son of the Shen family. Your Majesty has made the imperial decree, and anyone who dares to say another word in public will be considered disobedient.

"Brother, today we went to the eldest princess's flower viewing banquet and met the tenth princess."

"The princess gave each of us a gold bracelet. The bracelet was crudely made, with only a thin layer of material. It was obvious that she looked down on us because we were born out of wedlock. Was she using the gold bracelet to bully the three of us?"

……

Opening the ancestral hall was a big deal, so Shen Lanxi took a day off.

At the same time, she also invited Wei Dongzhu to watch the ceremony together.

This is a clan ceremony that only family members will participate in. The meaning is obvious and everyone knows it.

Wei Dongzhu was very happy, as this meant that Shen Lanxi valued him and treated him as one of her own.

He returned from outside the city the night before, and after bathing and changing clothes, he stayed in the Juding Mansion for more than an hour before returning to the mansion.

Then, before daybreak, we started getting up to prepare our clothes and gifts.

He already knew the night before that Lan Xi was going to wear red today. This color was festive, so he... naturally couldn't wear all red.

But he had a set of clothes with red piping, which was given to him by her, and it matched the clothes she was wearing today very well.

In the past, Wei Dongzhu would never have believed that one day he would pay attention to his dressing.

Now he finally understood what it meant to love someone and love everyone in them. If you like someone, you will want to put all your heart into them. Even if they are only a little bit like her, you will be secretly happy.

……

Shen Lanxi went to the Shen Mansion early in the morning. When the younger generation saw her coming, they immediately went to greet her.

"Hello, big sister!"

Shen Lanxi was full of energy, and with her red outfit on, she looked as if she possessed endless power, making people look up to her unconsciously.
