After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the local officials who came back to report on their work many years ago all received official documents from the imperial court asking them to go back to work, but there was no news from Master Shen's side.

At first, Master Shen didn't take it seriously, after all, his daughter-in-law was noble, and her mother's family would give herself some shelter for the sake of her in-laws.

Maybe they will want to pull themselves because their official position is too low.

However, during the New Year, Fang Siqi never walked around with her parents.

No matter how she hinted explicitly, let her not break off the relationship with her mother's family. Fang Siqi promised to do well in person, but he just didn't make any moves.

It wasn't until later, when Master Shen was drinking outside, that he heard some rumors about Fang Siqi: that she would rather cut off relations with the Anguo Mansion and the Fang Mansion than marry a powerless concubine.

There are also people who say that Fang Siqi had a secret relationship with that concubine, was caught and raped behind the bed, and in order to maintain his reputation, he was forced to ask the emperor for marriage. The Anguo Mansion and the Fang Mansion swept her out of the house because she had done such a shameless thing. Otherwise, which noble girl from a high family will come out of the cabinet, and the dowry will only be twelve...

There are many versions of the rumors, and most of them are clear-eyed, and they make Fang Siqi unbearable...

When Master Shen heard this, he remembered in a trance that since he returned to Beijing, he wanted to talk to his in-laws Fang Shaobao many times, but he directly refused on the grounds that something was wrong...

Thinking of his official document that was inexplicably delayed, Master Shen suddenly panicked.

He thought, didn't Anguo Mansion and Fang Mansion vent their dissatisfaction with Fang Siqi on themselves, right?

If this is true, then isn't the Shen family an extra **** annoyance?

After the worried Master Shen returned home, he found Mrs. Shen and told Mrs. Shen about his worries.

Thinking that the master's official position was very likely to be unsafe, Mrs. Shen did not dare to be careless.

"Master, I heard that a few days will be the seventieth birthday of the Duchess of Anguo, we can take this opportunity to let Zhongchen and Fang Siqi go to the Anguo Mansion to test the attitude of the Anguo Mansion towards them." Mrs. Shen's mind turned quickly, and she immediately thought of a countermeasure, "If the Anguo Mansion really annoys them, we can only quickly divide them so as not to be set on fire!" ”

"Or Mrs. is well-informed and has a way!" Master Shen grabbed Mrs. Shen's hand, and his heart was a little more steady.

The next day, Mrs. Shen collected a lot of congratulatory gifts for Duchess Anguo's birthday, and sent someone to call Fang Siqi over.

Who knew that Fang Siqi didn't have the heart to meet the guests, so he only let Lime run away.

When Mrs. Shen saw that Fang Siqi had sent herself away with a maid, her face suddenly became distorted.

"Where's your master? Are there any rules? A daughter-in-law doesn't take me as a mother-in-law in her eyes? I don't know how to teach it when I was in my mother's house! ”

"Back to Mrs. Shen, my master has been with the queen since he was a child, and the rules are all taught by the queen." Lime replied without being humble or arrogant, "If Mrs. Shen has any questions, when Mrs. Shen is lucky enough to see the phoenix face of the queen mother, she can ask in person." ”

Mrs. Shen was so scared by the lime that she vomited blood, there are really any masters and maids, and there are no rules for all of them!

I know that the queen mother came out to take Joe, who knows if what she said is true or false!

If it weren't for the master's official position, Mrs. Shen would almost tear her face.

She forced a smile and asked her subordinates to hand over the congratulatory gift she had prepared to Lime, "I heard that the Duchess of Anguo will be 70th birthday the day after tomorrow, although the Shen Mansion has not received the post from the Duchess of Anguo, but the two families are in-laws after all, and it is impossible not to give gifts..."

"The master of your family is the granddaughter of the Duchess of Anguo, even if it is the rules taught by the queen mother herself, she should not attend such an occasion, right?"

"So, you take these congratulatory gifts back and hand them over to your master, and let her congratulate Duchess An Guo on behalf of our Shen Mansion and send us a little heart..."

"The slave knows." Lime counted the list of congratulatory gifts, and after confirming that it was correct, she left with her things.

Mrs. Shen looked at Lime's behavior and was so angry that her teeth itched.

The hateful Fang Siqi, I really don't know where her arrogance came from, she has fallen into this field, and she still looks like no one in her eyes.

After Lime went back with the things given by Mrs. Shen, Fang Siqi remembered that the day after tomorrow was her grandmother's birthday.

Fang Siqi thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was not a solution for him to avoid them all the time.

Living in the shadow of his previous life, Fang Siqi felt that it was too aggrieved.

Although I am responsible for a large part of the evil I created in my previous life, not all of the causes are caused by myself.

During this time, Fang Siqi has thought a lot, and since he has been reborn, he will work hard to live happily and comfortably.

When Fang Siqi began to prepare the congratulatory gift, Shen Zhongchen had already prepared the things and handed her the list to let her see if there was anything bad.

Facing Shen Zhongchen's flattering expression, Fang Siqi was not angry with him.

"The day after tomorrow, are you going to accompany me to the Anguo Mansion?" Fang Siqi asked.

Shen Zhongchen's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?" ”

"I said no, will you not go?" Fang Siqi seems to have gotten used to Shen Zhongchen's facelessness and skinlessness.

If he insists on doing something, he will do anything, whether he has a face or not, until you relent.

"I'm not afraid of making you angry." Shen Zhongchen blushed his face and said, "If you want, that's great!" ”

Shen Zhongchen is now eager to attend various occasions as Fang Siqi's husband.

It doesn't matter if you're looked down upon, or if you're being pointed at.

He wants everyone to know that he is Fang Siqi's husband.

Fang Siqi looked at Shen Zhongchen's excited appearance, and said helplessly, "Don't be too happy, it's still a question whether the Anguo Mansion will let us enter the mansion at that time." ”

On the day of Anguo's birthday, Fang Siqi and Shen Zhongchen came to Anguo's mansion early with congratulatory gifts.

Although the porter of the Anguo Mansion was stunned when he saw the two of them, he was not turned away like the Fang Mansion.

The little servant in the house led the two to a side courtyard with a smile on his face, "Shen Gongzi, Mrs. Shen, I'm really embarrassed." Because the old lady is celebrating her 70th birthday today, there are too many guests who come to the house to celebrate her birthday. The guest tables in the house are almost arranged, so I can only ask the two of you to be here for a while, what do you think? ”

The little guy's words were polite, but the meaning was obvious—they were uninvited guests, and they either stayed here honestly or got out.

Like the etiquette of visiting the door of the Anguo Mansion, Fang Siqi also guarded the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and nodded in response to the perfunctory attitude of the little guy.

She sat in a simple chair and looked at the side courtyard that had been brought in.

Desolate and dilapidated, Fang Siqi's only impression of it.

I didn't expect there to be such a place in Anguo Mansion.

Fang Siqi looked at the empty table in front of him, and joked with Shen Zhongchen with a smile, "How?" The taste of being "hospitable" by the Anguo Mansion, can you stand it? ”
