Chapter 348: Sweet Attitude
After they left the Princess's Mansion, Shen Dagou couldn't wait to ask, "Second sister, aren't you recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion? Why are you here? Could it be that you have fully recovered?"
Shen Dagou looked at Shen Tian eagerly, his eyes full of hope.
Liusu, who was beside Chen Tian, hurriedly explained, "Sir, my young lady hasn't recovered yet. She will have to take medicine when she goes back later. The imperial physician will come to check her pulse tomorrow."
Shen Dagou's expression was visibly lost.
Chen Tian felt bad seeing him like this, "Brother, Uncle Liu has been worried that I would be too bored staying in the mansion for too long, and it happened that Master Murong brought Princess Qingfeng to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion to sit for a while, and that's how I got to know Princess Qingfeng.
Today, the princess invited me to come over for a short visit. Uncle Liu thought that I could come here to relax if I wanted to, so he asked me to come over to relax. I will wait for another two months, and when you come over next time, I should be able to go home with you."
"Then I'll wait a little longer. You don't know that your parents and grandma often miss you at home. Your mother and your sister-in-law clean your room every day. This year, we have raised a lot more chickens and ducks. There is also a kind of black chicken, which is said to be good for the body. Mother prepared it specially for you. We also have cattle and sheep. This year, we raised two beef cattle and ten sheep at home, and they can be slaughtered when you go back."
Shen Dagou kept talking about the situation at home, all of which were looking forward to Shen Tian's return.
Shen Tian's eyes could not help but turn red, and her voice was a little choked up, "Brother, I also want to go back early, work with my second brother, help my parents share the burden, talk to my grandma, and my little nephew and niece. I miss them too."
Although she did not inherit the original owner's memories, she truly felt the Shen family's care for her during the period of recuperation. There was no consideration of interests involved, but simply because she was a member of the Shen family.
She cherishes this feeling and is reluctant to let it go.
Shen Dagou couldn't bear to see his sister sad, so he immediately turned around and coaxed her, "Don't be sad, next time big brother comes, I will definitely take you back to reunite with you. You are weak, and sister Xiaotai said that you can recover for another year or so before going back. She also made a lot of snacks that you like, so you can come to her house every day for snacks after you go back."
Shen Tian chuckled, “Brother, I can’t do such a shameless thing!”
"Haha, it's okay. Your brother is thick-skinned. I'll ask your sister-in-law to come over and bring you snacks every day." Shen Dagou said shamelessly loudly.
With his jokes, Shen Tian felt much better.
Shen Dagou took the opportunity to ask, "Second sister, what is the identity of that Mr. Murong? He can even accompany the princess out! Could it be that the princess is his future wife?"
Chen Tian lowered her eyelids. Before she could speak, Liusu on the side got anxious first, "Sir, don't say such things! Princess Qingfeng is the cousin of Master Murong."
Shen Dagou gasped and quickly covered his mouth, looking scared.
Chen Tian smiled softly, "Brother, it's okay. There are only a few of us here. It's harmless. Just don't talk nonsense in the future. In fact, I don't know the identity of Mr. Murong. I only know that he has a good relationship with Uncle Liu and often visits Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. There are few visitors to the Marquis' Mansion on weekdays. I often accompany Uncle Liu to talk, and occasionally I can meet Mr. Murong who comes to visit.
Uncle Liu told others that I was his niece. Maybe because of this, Master Murong was kind to me. I am just an ordinary citizen. If it weren't for Uncle Liu, we would never meet someone like Master Murong. We must not mention him again in the future."
"I understand, I understand. Second sister, you are still clear-headed. Big brother will keep his mouth shut and stop talking nonsense in the future!" Shen Dagou was scared.
But I am more relieved that my sister is not blinded by wealth and it will be okay for her to wait another year or two.
Liusu became anxious after listening to this and that. On the surface, she was Chen Tian's maid, but her actual master was Murong Xu. If her master knew that Miss Chen was determined to cut off her relationship with him and was planning to return home, she would probably be furious.
Chen Tian took Shen Dagou and the others to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Liu Laosan met with them and invited them to have a meal at his house. During the meal, he inevitably mentioned to Liu Laosan the matter of Chen Tian's return home.
Liu Laosan glanced at Liusu and became even more worried.
After Shen Dagou and the others left, he called Shen Tian over and said earnestly, "Girl, I'm sure you understand some things, so I won't say it clearly. Do you really have no intention of entering that wealthy country?"
Shen Tian nodded firmly, "Uncle Liu, it is important for a person to know himself. I know my origin very well. If I go to a wealthy family, I will just be someone's concubine, and I will be locked up in a small place with a group of women without freedom. I still prefer the peaceful Shen Family Manor."
She had had enough of that kind of fighting life. It was rare to have a stable family in this life, so who would want to climb up to such a high branch?
Seeing that Shen Tian was so awake, Liu Laosan nodded immediately, "Okay! After two months, when your body has completely recovered, I will have someone send you away."
Just as the two of them finished their discussion, Murong Xu came over with a gloomy look on his face.
"My lord, you must know very well what I am thinking. Why do you want to go against me?" Murong Xu had always been polite to Liu Laosan, and this was the first time he turned against him.
Liu Laosan immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, why do you say that? I, Liu Laosan, have no real power and no money, so how can I go against you?"
"Hmph!" Murong Xu pounded the table with his fist, "Well, I'll be frank with you. Chen Tian is the one I like, and I'll take her back home in a few days."
Liu Laosan took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, you want to rob a commoner girl? It would be terrible if the emperor knew about it! Think twice!"
Murong Xu was so angry that he laughed, "Liu Laosan! How dare you slander me!"
"I dare not, my Highness! Miss Chen is neither my daughter nor my relative. She is just staying in my house to recuperate. If you want to marry her, it's no use telling me! I can't decide for her! What's more, her brother has said that he wants to take her back home. I am just respecting his decision. If you have any ideas, go and tell Miss Chen yourself. It's no use telling me." Liu Laosan kept shaking his head and waving his hands, trying to distance himself from the matter.
Murong Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't try to play tricks on me! If you really want to take care of it, can you not do it?"
Liu Laosan's eyes widened instantly, "Your Highness also knows that I don't want to care! Your Highness, this is how my life is. I finally recognized a godson, and I will rely on my godson and his wife to take care of me in my old age. Miss Shen is their good friend, and I don't want to get involved in these things. It's not good to let the children misunderstand!"
"You!" Murong Xu stood up suddenly and stared at Liu Laosan, "You really don't care?"
