Shen Yuerong had no idea about these things, it was all Chi Mu's doing.
"I felt before that Fu Hengyu got this position too easily. Even though I asked people for help, it still wasn't that easy. There are many people who are more powerful than him in competition with him."
I didn’t expect that all this was thanks to Chi Mu.
"I heard you talk about this matter when I sent you home that day. Although I felt jealous at that time, I also felt that if I could help you achieve your wish, you would be happy. Moreover, if he could really sit in the position of a fifth-rank official, you would have someone who could share your burdens, and your life would be a little better."
Although he has not been in the capital in recent years, his eyes have always followed Shen Yuerong.
The man who was once high-spirited and did what he wanted has now become a shell of himself.
He focused all his attention on the abacus all day long, nurturing the growth of the entire general's mansion.
"It's hard for me to imagine what happened in the past three years, from not knowing how to do it to being able to do it with ease now, from being dismissive at first to being cautious in everything now?"
He sighed and looked at her with some heartache.
"These things are all in the past. If I hadn't heard you say this now, I would have almost forgotten what I was like in the past."
At that time, she had the entire Shen family to protect her, and her father could use his broad shoulders to shield her from all the storms.
Speaking of the Shen family, Chi Mu hesitated and said, "We have established a relationship now. I wonder if I can... burn some incense for Uncle Shen, which can be regarded as comforting his spirit in heaven."
"Are you going to ask the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law?"
Shen Yuerong looked at him with a teasing look on her face.
He lowered his head, still a little humble in his bones, "Uncle Shen saw that I was interested in you before, but he also told me that he didn't want his daughter to marry into the palace, let alone have anything to do with the palace, so he asked me to put those distracting thoughts out of my mind."
"Did your father ever know what you were thinking?"
Shen Yuerong held his hand, and the two of them took advantage of the moonlight to stroll in the extremely quiet imperial garden.
Chi Mu nodded.
"It was just a casual conversation after dinner, but I know what he said is true."
Doctor Shen treated him very well, almost like his own son.
"No one knows a daughter better than her father. Perhaps he knew at the beginning that you would never stay indoors no matter what, but now... you have changed for one person."
His tone sounded somewhat uncomfortable, and even contained a hint of self-mockery.
He felt that he was not the one who could make her better.
"I'm still very jealous of Fu Hengyu."
He stopped and put his big hand on Shen Yuerong's shoulder.
"If it weren't for him, you would have been an eagle soaring in the world, and you shouldn't have been trapped in this four-cornered world. But for the love between him and you, you are willing to work like a slave for the general's mansion, and even willing to contribute everything you have to them."
Shen Yuerong raised her head and looked into his eyes, which were more loving than they are now, but still a little jealous.
Sure enough, in his mind, his existence was still a threat.
"I have no regrets. I like him and make some sacrifices for him. There is nothing shameful about that. On the contrary, if I were a selfish person from the beginning to the end, I would no longer be myself."
She stretched out her hand and placed it on the man's waist. Because of the alcohol, her eyes were a little blurry.
"I like you, so everything I do from now on will be for you and only for you..."
Chi Mu reached out and covered her mouth.
"I don't want you to sacrifice anything for me. If I really have a wish, I hope that your life will be happy and healthy. You can always do what you want to do, not be constrained by anything, and be happy all your life."
Shen Yuerong huddled in his arms and nodded, “It’s great to have you.”
…
Fu Hengyu was even more unhappy when he met Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu in the Imperial Garden. When he returned to the banquet and saw Du Wan, he was even more confused. Not long after, he said goodbye and returned to the mansion on the grounds that he was drunk.
General's Mansion.
The old lady and Fu Hengyue saw a familiar carriage from a distance and came over immediately. When they saw Fu Hengyu, who was drunk, with no one to serve him, they frowned in displeasure.
"Du Wan, didn't you see that your husband was drunk? Why didn't you lend a hand to help him?"
The old lady stretched out her hand, and with the help of the servants, she helped her son down from the carriage.
Du Wan got off the carriage briskly.
She never looked at them.
"I spent a lot of money to make this dress today, and I'm waiting to wear it during the New Year. If it gets stained with the stench of alcohol on him, how can I wear it?"
She looked at the man beside her with annoyance and muttered, "Even if I don't lend a hand, don't you still have you?"
Du Wan didn't care at all and brushed past them. When she reached the door, she remembered something and turned around, "By the way, it's almost the New Year now. When are you going to give me my status?"
Fu Hengyu and Shen Yuerong have been separated for many days.
However, the position of the promised wife never fell on Du Wan, which was the fundamental source of her resentment.
"You don't have me as your mother in your eyes, and now you don't have a husband. What sin did my general's mansion commit to make me take you as my legal wife?"
"You are my mother, and he is my husband? Aren't they all the former Shen Yuerong? How come you miss her now that she is gone? Then you should ask her to come back. I don't even bother to manage your family's trivial matters."
I used to think the general’s mansion was very wealthy.
After taking over the backyard of the general's mansion, Du Wan discovered that the truly rich person was Shen Yuerong.
On such a great day, the old lady didn't want to argue with him, so she sighed helplessly and asked someone to help Fu Hengyu back first.
The second day.
Shen Yuerong no longer remembered how she returned to the courtyard yesterday. She only remembered that she leaned on him and held herself in his arms while she was in a daze.
It seems that we really can't be too unrestrained in the future.
She called Qinghua over to wash up, and seeing her shy face, she asked, "What's wrong?"
She stammered, "Last night...the prince stayed."
"He lives here?"
Shen Yuerong had no idea how she got back yesterday, let alone knew that he later lived here.
"It was the young lady...she kept pulling at the prince's sleeve and refused to let go. The prince had no choice but to stay."
Some memories came back to her, and Shen Yuerong suddenly remembered that she had been holding on to the sleeve in her sleep and refused to let go. She didn't expect that it was his.
"I was really rude yesterday."
