Chapter 5 Shen Family

Shen Yunyue saw Fu Xuanheng half lying under a tree and knew she had to buy a carriage.

"Mother, I'll go buy a carriage."

"Wait. Yuebao, let's carry Xuanheng and go. You have enough money to buy a carriage for the twenty miles, but won't that make those people jealous of us?" Mo Yiran stopped Shen Yunyue.

She arrived at Hefeng Pavilion first today. Although she was crying, her ears were not idle.

Those people clearly hated the Prince's Mansion.

Now, only Fu Xuanheng, a half sister and half brother, and the concubine Feng Xiao'e are left in the Prince's Mansion.

The He family and the Shen family are relatives of the Prince's Mansion, and I'm afraid that others will be jealous of them as well.

"Mom, you will be envied even if you don't spend money. As long as Fu Xuanheng is with us, he will become a thorn in the eyes of others, unless we send him to his maternal grandparents' home."

"That won't do. You're his wife, how can you abandon him? The He family is big, and it's a mess. I don't think Xuan Heng will end up well there." Mo Yiran had also witnessed the internal strife in the He family.

How could she not understand what the scene would be like if Fu Xuanheng, a half-dead man, arrived there?

The poor son-in-law is only 17 years old and the daughter is only 13 years old.

What should I do with half-grown children?

"The He family is Xuanheng's maternal grandparents. Let's go to the He family with Xuanheng, Xuanting and Xuansheng." Feng Xiaoe looked around the He family and saw that there were many people there. Mr. and Mrs. He were accompanied by several aunts and grandmothers to serve them.

In comparison, the Shen family is very miserable, and the whole family is crying.

Before her death, the Crown Princess repeatedly told her to take Fu Xuanheng with her to follow the He family.

Having someone to rely on along the way will prevent you from living a miserable life.

"My dear in-laws, what will happen to my Yunyue if you take Xuanheng away?" Mo Yiran is a crybaby, not a fool. She even bowed to Feng Xiaoe when they met before to give face.

Now it seems that this woman is so rude.

"Aren't they both still young? Let's live together when Miss Shen reaches the age of marriage."

All the jewels and jade on Feng Xiao'e's head had been taken away, leaving only an inconspicuous silver hairpin and a wooden hairpin to hold her hair.

"Xuan Heng, let's go to your grandparents' house and say hello to them."

Feng Xiao'e came over and wanted to help Fu Xuanheng up.

Everything that the few people said just now fell into Fu Xuanheng's ears.

Since he arrived here, he noticed that the He family looked at him with hatred.

His grandparents also knew he was coming, but no one came to greet him.

"I'm not going. If you want to go, go ahead."

"Why are you so disobedient, kid? What's the point of following the poor Shen family?" Feng Xiao'e wanted to let go and go to the He family, but the He family would never recognize her.

"That's your maternal grandparents' home. Your grandparents will always feel sorry for their grandchildren."

"Aunt Feng, you are an elder by my father's side. Just because I respectfully call you Aunt Feng doesn't mean you can make the decision. Shen Yunyue is my wife, and it is my right to be in the Shen family." Fu Xuanheng spoke coldly, like a knife piercing Feng Xiaoe's heart.

She held back her tears and left with her daughter in her arms.

I have to find an opportunity to talk to the He family.

Fu Xuansheng, who was only six years old, squatted silently beside Fu Xuanheng. His timid eyes didn't dare to look around, and he didn't know where to go.

His biological mother died in childbirth.

At such a young age, he has already learned to read people's faces.

Old Master Shen came over with his cane and sat down next to Fu Xuanheng. "Xuanheng, just treat the Shen family as your own. We've probably encountered a lot of things along the way. As long as we're united as a family, there's nothing we can't overcome."

"Don't lose heart. Grandpa lost two sons, but he still has to live. What about this whole family? It's easy for us to die, but what about them?"

Mr. Shen never dared to say this to the young prince before, but now he bravely speaks to comfort him.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Fu Xuanheng looked into the distance with a complicated expression.

Shen Yunyue still went to buy a carriage.

There is no strong carriage on the road, so I can only buy one first.

After much persuasion, he spent five copper coins to buy two bundles of straw to spread in the carriage.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Yunyue found an inconspicuous thick mattress in the space and put it inside.

A quilt made of dark-patterned muslin with cotton wadding was placed in the carriage.

The quilt weighs ten pounds, which should be warm enough to sit in the carriage in winter.

Shen Yunfeng was only nine years old and was learning to drive from the man selling the horse carriage.

He and Shen Yunyue drove the carriage over in a hurry.

"Second brother, I heard that you got a carriage thanks to Fu Xuanheng. Your elder brother and I are old and frail, so we can just ride in your carriage." The woman who spoke was wearing a dark-patterned jacket. She was Mr. Shen's sister-in-law.

Her children and grandchildren were also beheaded, but her eldest son, Shen Citong, had just turned 50.

Fortunately survived.

Mr. Shen stood hunched beside the carriage. He thought for a moment and nodded.

"Brother, sister-in-law should have taken the carriage. But this is Fu Xuanheng's carriage. I have to tell them according to the rules."

"Rules? The rules are to respect the elderly. If it weren't for his family, would I have to send my son off?" Mrs. Shen Ma wiped her tears and sobbed.

There are also more than a dozen people in the Shen family's main house.

Old Master Shen felt so sorry that he couldn't even write the word "Chen" twice with one stroke.

Besides, he thought what Shen Ma said was correct.

Because of the Prince's Mansion, these talents fell into trouble.

"Okay. I'll let my elder brother and his wife take the carriage." Old Master Shen sighed on his wrinkled face. This journey must be difficult.

There was a smug look in Shen Ma’s eyes.

She must first control the second wife, only then can she have a good life.

The other side.

Feng Xiao'e looked for an opportunity to talk to the He family, but no one paid any attention to her. She finally tried to squeeze over to Old Madam He, but was pushed over by several of the He family's daughters-in-law.

"Why are you here? If the incident at the Crown Prince's Mansion hadn't happened, would our He family be in this state? Tell that loser that the He family has taken note of this."

"My husband was only in his thirties, and he lost his life. My eldest son was only 18, and he was also beheaded. You people in the Prince's Mansion, don't even think about living a good life. I curse you day and night."

The He family's aunts-in-law are as vicious now as they are flattering in normal times.

Feng Xiao'e kept rubbing her hands and begging, "Madam. Xuan Heng is the old lady's grandson. You can't just watch him die. Just let us stay with the He family."

He Luxue's mother smiled upon hearing this and said, "Aunt Feng, it's not that our He family can't accommodate others. Since Xuan Heng is the bloodline of the eldest daughter of the He family, it's fine if you come and serve as servants."

Feng Xiaoe was stunned.

The He family made them servants?

"We are all common people. Why should we be your servants?" Feng Xiao'e's face looked unhappy and her hands were clenched tightly.
