The eldest lady knows better than anyone that Lu Chuan can't be affectionate to Mingzhu, Mingzhu once told her that although Lu Chuan treats her with great respect, he is always a little less intimate and slightly cold.

At that time, the eldest lady also persuaded her that as long as Lu Chuan gave her the dignity of her wife, it would be fine, and her feelings would be cultivated little by little. They hadn't met before they got married, so it was normal to do this at first.

Who knew that what was waiting for in the end was the news that Shen Mingzhu was dead and dead.

Shen Xingwan thought for a moment, "What about the people who serve around my sister, I should be able to get useful news from their mouths." ”

The eldest lady snorted coldly, "Why do you think I am sure that Mingzhu was killed, it is because the grandmother and the four dowry girls she brought with her were all sent away for various reasons in just a few days." ”

When she came to Beijing, she couldn't find anyone at all.

"To make matters worse, after my two years of inquiry, several have been confirmed dead." The eldest lady said coldly.

The Lu family's behavior is said to be that there is no ghost in their hearts, who believes it.

It's a pity that at that time, due to the formality, the Shen family suffered this dumb loss.

The eldest lady doesn't understand what the big picture is, and she doesn't want to understand it. She only wants to avenge her only daughter.

Her frustration over the years was in her eyes, and Master Shen saw it in her eyes.

This time she let her go to Beijing, in fact, it was also a tacit acquiescence to her revenge.

It's just that on the surface, it is still impossible for the Shen family to tear their faces with the Lu family.

Husband and wife, some words are not spoken.

The eldest master has other sons and daughters, and he has to think about the entire Shen family.

But she only has one daughter, Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Xingwan also fell into deep thought, Shen Mingzhu was already five months pregnant when she died, even if the Lu family was willing to give up Shen Mingzhu, they shouldn't be willing to give up the child in her womb.

As far as she knows, Lu Chuan still has no son and half a daughter under his knees.

The child in Lu Mingzhu's belly should be very noble.

"Did my sister know something she shouldn't know?" Shen Xingwan guessed, "And it was revealed that it would have a fatal impact on the Lu family." ”

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why the Lu family would be so ruthless.

The eldest lady sighed, "The Lu Mansion is the housekeeper of the Duchess of Lu Guo, Mingzhu can't even interfere in family affairs, and has been staying in the backyard in peace, what can she know about the Lu family." ”

In short, the two chatted, things were still full of fog, and it was several years apart, and it was too difficult to find out the truth of the year.

In the end, Shen Xing said lately, "I'll see if there is a chance to get in touch with Lu Chuan." ”

Since you can't find a place to start, it's better to start with the parties.

——————————————

In the lively atmosphere of the title of the gold list, Shen Xingwan received an invitation from Shen Yu.

Banxia said curiously, "Is the girl going, it's okay if you don't go." ”

Anyway, the relationship with that side is dispensable.

"Let's go check it out." Shen Xing said late.

Although Shen Yu's line is almost chaotic, Shen Xiaoguo's line is going smoothly.

In the future, the real power general in the northwest will have a lot of weight on her side, and she doesn't want to give it to Su Jingyi in vain.

So on the Shen family's side, she didn't have the idea of cleaning up for the time being, and it was still good to go to the play occasionally.

Anyway, now they can't hurt her anyway.

This time, Shen Yu invited her over, on the one hand, because she passed the exam, and on the other hand, because her family came to Beijing like a family, and invited her over to eat warm house wine.

Shen Xingwan asked Banxia to prepare a few boxes of snacks and bring them over.

According to the place mentioned in Shen Yu's invitation, the carriage stopped in the alley of the downtown area.

Banxia jumped out of the carriage and went over and knocked on the door.

Soon the door was opened from the inside, and Manniang held the green cloth broken flower headscarf, and said gently, "The girl is here, please come inside." ”

Shen Xing entered it late, it was a small and dilapidated courtyard, and a few rooms that looked a little shabby.

Zhang Shi happily greeted her when he heard her movements, "Xingwan, you are here, go in and sit." ”

Shen Xingwan snorted and went in and sat down.

Manniang picked up a baby and coaxed it, it looked like it should be a few months old.

Zhang said dissatisfiedly, "Mourning star, I know how to cry all day long." ”

Manniang didn't reply, Shen Tang walked in and scolded, "On a happy day, don't talk about these things." ”

Shen Xingwan glanced around the room and asked, "What about Shen Yu?" ”

"What Shen Yu, that's your eldest brother." Zhang muttered as he walked out to call someone.

After a while, I saw Shen Yu and Su Jingyi coming in together, talking and laughing.

Shen Yu didn't look dissatisfied with this ranking.

When Su Jingyi saw her, she greeted her with a smile as always, "Sister is here." ”

Su Jingyi was quite quiet today, just looking at her with inquiring eyes from time to time.

Shen Xingwan didn't see it, and quietly looked at the letter sent home by Shen Xiaoguo, and it was seen from the letter that he was mixing very well in the barracks.

Finally, the meal began, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull.

Zhang complained dissatisfiedly, "This place is much different from Jiangnan's house, and the location is too remote, so it will be inconvenient for Yu'er to go to Hanlin Courtyard every day in the future." ”

Shen Xingwan looked at Shen Yu, "Is this preparing to enter Hanlin?" ”

The top three in the first class of Daqi rules are directly admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and the second and third students must pass the assessment and be admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

The saying that "non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet" has been circulating for a long time. Almost all of the cabinet scholars and prime ministers came from the Hanlin Academy.

Shen Yu looked not only unstruck, but ambitious.

Sure enough, as the heroine's plug-in, it can't be easily finished.

Shen Yu said, "If you can, it is naturally good to enter Hanlin." ”

Su Jingyi said sweetly on the side, "My brother will definitely have a bright future in the future." ”

Probably her tone was too determined, and Shen Xingwan glanced at her sideways.

Su Jingyi smiled at her, and Shen Xingwan had goosebumps.

Zhang's doesn't care so much, she is very dissatisfied with this expensive and dilapidated yard, "Can you help the family find a place where the environment is good and it is convenient for Yu'er to go to the Hanlin Courtyard every day?" ”

Zhang's really dare to speak, in Shengjing, where every inch of land is expensive, the house in her request must be expensive, and the people who live there are either clear or expensive.

"Girl Su has been in Beijing for so many years, she should be very familiar with these." Shen Xingwan skillfully shook the pot.

Su Jing's expression froze visibly for a moment, and soon smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened, "I'll help find it, but a house with this kind of location is very sought-after, and it won't be such a coincidence." ”

This is unreasonable, Su Jingyi's personality is so generous and easy to speak.

Zhang smiled with satisfaction, "Mother didn't hurt you in vain." ”

The dinner table was almost full of Su Jingyi's laughter, and she said seemingly casually, "I knew that I would return to Shengjing in the end, so my sister might as well not leave the Hou Mansion at the beginning." ”

It was strange that these words could come out of Su Jingyi's mouth, she wished she had left.
