Chapter 125 Qingyuan Marquis Mansion

The next day, early in the morning.

When Qin Xuerong heard that Shen Jingchuan was going to take Shen Shuyi to visit the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, she was so angry that she smashed the jade bowl in her hand into pieces.

"What kind of magic potion did she give to the master? The master has been keeping a clear line between himself and the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion for many years, fearing that it would bring trouble to his family. But now he has prepared a generous gift to go to the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion! What on earth is he thinking? "

Qin Xuerong spoke angrily, her well-maintained face trembling with anger.

The maids and servants nearby didn't dare to breathe. After all, the lady was talking about the master, so how could they dare to agree with her?

Qin Xuerong was indeed very angry. Ever since Shen Shuyi returned home, so many troubles had occurred. Now she hadn't spared any effort to deal with the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, but that bastard Shen Shuyi actually had the ability to convince Shen Jingchuan to make friends with him!

"Send someone to the front yard to find out what she said to the master."

"Yes."

Shen Shuyi naturally had no idea that Qin Xuerong was so angry that she was furious. She leaned on the couch, using a branch to tease the crickets that Jin Peng had brought her last night.

Shen Jingchuan hadn't left the court yet, and she had no plans to go to school today, so she just stayed in the house and enjoyed herself.

An hour later, the servant from the front yard came hurriedly to report: "Second Miss, the master has returned from court and is changing his clothes. The carriage is ready. You can go to the front yard and wait first."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi did not delay any further.

In less than a cup of tea, Shen Jingchuan arrived at the front yard. He saw Shen Shuyi, wearing a pomegranate red dress, standing by the car waiting for him. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The girl has a slim and upright figure, and usually wears plain and elegant colors. Now, she is wearing a bright pomegranate red dress, which only makes her look bright and lively.

She wore a set of gold and ruby ​​​​braided headgear on her head and put on some lip balm. Her pair of dark eyes seemed to be washed by lake water, and they were beautiful beyond words.

"Dad." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.

Shen Jingchuan came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh: "You chose a good dress today. You usually wear too plain clothes. This dress suits your complexion and looks festive."

Shen Shuyi said with a bit of cunning: "If it weren't for my father giving me money to supplement my income, I would definitely not be willing to wear this."

Shen Jingchuan paused, subconsciously thinking of the dowry that Zhao Derong left behind.

Yes, after all, she was not Qin Xuerong's biological daughter, and was even inferior to Qinghuan. Not to mention that she had been away from the mansion for many years and was bullied by the servants, Qinghuan still had her aunt to protect her, but she had nothing.

Shen Jingchuan was silent for a while, and felt that the dowry left by Zhao Derong should indeed be returned to Shen Shuyi for her to deal with.

But what Xuerong said was also true. She was young and had never learned how to manage a household. If those things were really handed over to her, she would definitely be fooled by the servants.

Shen Jingchuan was still thinking to himself that at the moment, he could only take better care of her.

Shen Shuyi saw his reaction and said softly, "Dad, I have good food and accommodation in the mansion now. There is nothing to worry about. I am just going to my grandparents' house today. I am afraid that my grandparents will worry, so I deliberately dressed brightly."

Shen Jingchuan just thought she was considerate and sensible, so he didn't continue the topic: "It's getting late, let's set off now."

On the way, Shen Shuyi and Shen Jingchuan each took a carriage.

The interior of the car was spacious, and with only Shen Shuyi and two maids inside, it was quite comfortable.

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Shen Jingchuan had someone deliver a visiting card yesterday evening, so as soon as they got the news, Lord Zhao and his wife personally brought their families to the door to greet them, which showed that they took him very seriously.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law." As soon as Shen Jingchuan got out of the car, he immediately bowed to the two of them.

When he was young, Lord Zhao was also a good fighter and had a hot temper. When he saw this scene, he subconsciously wanted to say a few words.

Madam Zhao smiled and stepped forward to help Shen Jingchuan up. "This is unacceptable. We haven't seen each other for many years. Is everything okay, Lord Shen?"

"You call me mother-in-law, but are you blaming me? I have been too embarrassed to face you all these years, so I have been reluctant to come to your house. Fortunately, Sister Yi has returned home, and Brother Kun asked for help at Prince Duan's mansion that day, so I am so bold to come and visit you."

As Shen Jingchuan finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi who was following behind him, and their gazes were obviously much softer.

"Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt." Shen Shuyi spoke in a gentle voice and greeted the others first.

Mr. Zhao's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi. Under his gray hair, his energetic face looked a little dazed.

Not only her, but also Old Madam Zhao's eyes were moistened when she looked at Shen Shuyi, and she quickly said lovingly: "Hey, Sister Yi has grown up so much in a blink of an eye, she is really more beautiful than Rong'er."

Shen Shuyi knew clearly that Lord Zhao and the old lady saw the shadow of his mother in him.

When people reach old age, they can’t help but feel sad when they think of the elderly sending off their loved ones.

"Come in quickly, I have asked someone to prepare a banquet. It just so happens that I haven't seen Sister Yi and the children for many years, so it's a good opportunity to get acquainted with them."

Perhaps it was because he had been reminded of this earlier, or perhaps he knew that it would not be easy for Shen Shuyi to persuade Shen Jingchuan to come to his house.

For the sake of the two children left by his daughter, Lord Zhao suppressed his hot temper and did not embarrass Shen Jingchuan.

After entering the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion and walking along the way, Shen Jingchuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded and secretly shocked.

It is said that the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion has fallen into decline in recent years, but after this journey, Shen Jingchuan felt that there is something special in this mansion.

The main courtyard was surrounded by towering ancient trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, red walls, green tiles and pools. The whole mansion was spacious and magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and the four corners of the eaves were raised high with auspicious beasts sitting majestically. At first glance, Shen Jingchuan felt that it was not much inferior to Prince Duan's Mansion.

Led by the old Marquis Zhao, the eldest uncle greeted Shen Jingchuan in a gentle voice: "It has been many years since we last met. The Marquis' Mansion has been worried that my affairs would implicate my brother-in-law. Now that I see that my brother-in-law is doing well in his career and is in good health, I feel relieved."

Zhao Dechuan spoke in a gentle voice, frankly pointing out the reason for the estrangement between the two governments over the years, and took the initiative to take responsibility. His words were quite frank, which made Shen Jingchuan blush.

"Brother, what are you talking about? It's me. Brother Han had an accident and Sister Yi was in poor health. I was not able to take good care of the two children left by Rong. I felt deeply ashamed, so I didn't dare to come to the house to disturb you, for fear that my father-in-law and mother-in-law would blame me."

Madam Zhao said in a gentle voice, "It is Rong'er who is unlucky. How can you blame it on you? Besides, I see that Yijie is generous and well-mannered, and her words and deeds are measured. It is obviously the result of your education."

Shen Jingchuan felt relieved after hearing what the two said.

Indeed, Zhao Derong passed away early, and he was just over 30 years old, so how could he not remarry?

Soon, the group arrived at the main hall, and Lord Zhao said in a deep voice: "Have someone serve the food. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we must get drunk today!"

"My son-in-law will definitely accompany you!" Shen Jingchuan agreed with a smile.
