Chapter 495 Peace

The weather in spring and summer is changeable, and it rains at any time.

Yu Zheng was handling government affairs in the study, and the servant knocked on the door to report that Marquis Jing'an wanted to see him.

Marquis Jing'an, what is he doing here?

Yu Zheng was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered something, and got up and went to the front hall.

Shen Changze and Shen Changhuai were sitting in the hall, and when they saw Yu Zheng, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Yu Zheng walked to the top and sat down, waving his hand for the two to sit down.

"I wonder why Marquis Shen is here?"

The relationship between the two was complicated and subtle, and it was not a relationship that could be exchanged for a deep friendship, so Shen Changze said bluntly: "I am sorry to bother you, Your Highness, because I have something I want to verify."

"Oh? What does Marquis Shen want to ask?" Yu Zheng pretended not to know.

Shen Changze said, "My sister Shen Qingrong, the young lady of the Lu family, really set herself on fire and died?"

Although he knew that the Lu family would not lie about such a big thing, Shen Changze still wanted to verify it, to give an explanation to Shen Qingrong and himself.

In order to avoid embarrassing misunderstandings by coming alone, Shen Changze specially called Shen Changhuai and did not ask to see Jiang Shu.

The guess in his heart was true, and Yu Zheng said in a serious voice: "Yes. Young Lady Lu set herself on fire, and I happened to be in the Lu Mansion and saw it with my own eyes."

Shen Changze clenched his fists and said, "No one saved her?"

This sentence did not seem to question the Lu family, but more like a question to Yu Zheng. Since he saw it with his own eyes, why did he not save her and watch Shen Qingrong being burned to death.

There was a sound of rain outside the hall, and the silence in the hall was a little eerie.

Yu Zheng glared at Shen Changze with his dark eyes, and said in a threatening tone: "Mrs. Lu locked up the courtyard and burned herself. Who can save her?"

In view of Shen Changze's military exploits for the border, Yu Zheng suppressed his displeasure and explained.

Shen Changhuai saw that something was wrong and pulled Shen Changze's sleeve.

Shen Changze woke up from his anger, stood up and said goodbye with embarrassment.

Shen Changhuai took a step back, bowed to Yu Zheng and apologized: "My brother lost his wife and sister, and he was too emotionally angry. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yu Zheng looked at Shen Changze's distraught back and didn't bother with him.

Shen Changhuai heaved a sigh of relief and hurried to chase after Shen Changze.

After watching the two walk away, Yu Zheng returned to the main courtyard.

Raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound, and the splashing water wet Yu Zheng's shoes, boots and clothes.

After entering the corridor, Yu Zheng handed the umbrella to Shuanghua and stepped into the house.

"My husband is done so quickly?" Jiang Shu was a little surprised.

Yu Zheng sat down in front of the couch and said while teasing Yu Ziyu: "Marquis Jing'an was here just now."

Jiang Shu understood and said: "He came to ask about Shen Qingrong?"

Apart from this, there seemed to be no other reason.

"Yeah." Yu Zheng responded indifferently.

Shen Changze only asked to see him, not Jiang Shu, probably because he didn't want Jiang Shu to see his wolfish appearance.

Now he knows how to advance and retreat.

Jiang Shu didn't care about Shen Changze and changed the subject naturally.

Yu Zheng didn't mention it again, as if the palace just had a frequent visitor and he just said something to Jiang Shu.

After three days of continuous rain, everything became more prosperous and grew vigorously. The leaves of flowers, plants and trees were shiny green, full of vitality.

However, Old Madam Shen died of illness at this time, and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion hung up the mourning banner.

The mansion was filled with sorrow. Mother Shen cried and made a fuss day and night, unable to take care of the affairs of the mansion, so Wang Yueyao had to do it for her.

All the relatives and friends of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion attended the funeral of Old Madam Shen, and Old Madam Shen's death was considered lively and dignified.

In order to prevent Shen's mother from causing trouble in public, Shen Changze announced to the public that Shen's mother was seriously ill and did not let her show up.

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was really in trouble.

After taking care of the old lady Shen's funeral, Shen Changze seemed to have been drained of his strength. He was decadent and tired, and he spent his days in the Suoyun Courtyard.

Xu Lingyi brought the child to see him, and Shen Changze had no intention of teasing her. He stared at Cheng Jinchu's red gun in a daze.

Xu Lingyi talked to herself for a while, turned her head and looked in the direction of Shen Changze's sight.

Jiang Shu was gone, and Cheng Jinchu was dead.

She seemed to have won everything, and seemed to have lost everything.

After sitting for a while, Xu Lingyi left with the child.

Yan Yang walked in with Yan Huan. Both of them had red eyes, and they had obviously just cried.

"What's wrong?" Shen Changze asked in a hoarse voice.

Yan Huan sobbed and said, "Dad, they said grandma is crazy."

Cheng Jinchu died, and Old Madam Shen also died. For Yan Yang and Yan Huan, only Shen's mother was the closest. But when they went to look for Shen's mother just now, the servants would not let them see her, saying that Shen's mother was crazy.

This was really hard for Yan Yang and Yan Huan to accept.

Shen Changze choked when he heard it, pulled Yan Huan into his arms and said, "Grandma is just sick, she will be fine after a while."

"Really?" Yan Huan raised his head and wiped his tears and asked innocently.

Shen Changze nodded heavily.

Yan Yang is older, eight years old this year, and can understand many things. He knows that Shen Changze is trying to coax Yan Huan.

After standing quietly for a long time, Yan Yang suddenly said, "Daddy, I want to go to school."

Shen Changze, who was comforting Yan Huan, was startled, looked up at Yan Yang and said, "Don't force yourself, Daddy won't force you anymore."

"No, I want to study, I want to read to mother." Yan Yang's hands hanging at his side clenched into fists, and his young face was full of determination.

Shen Changze was surprised and asked carefully, "Have you really decided to study? Will you give up halfway again?"

Originally, Shen Changze planned to invite a teacher to teach Yan Yang in the mansion in a few days, and let him learn as much as he could, and he didn't expect him to pass the imperial examination.

After going through so much, Shen Changze no longer cared about fame and fortune, and just wanted them to grow up safely so that Cheng Jinchu could rest assured.

"I will study hard this time." Yan Yang said seriously.

Shen Changze said with relief: "Okay, Daddy believes in you."

"But you started too late and can't keep up with the progress of the teachers in the school. I will ask the teacher to come to my house to teach you. After catching up, you can go to the Imperial College to study."

Yan Yang nodded obediently after hearing this.

Yan Huan also said: "Dad, I also want to study with my brother. Mother and grandmother and great-grandmother all said that reading is good in many ways, and having some knowledge will not make people laugh."

"Okay, you study together." Shen Changze looked at the two children who suddenly became sensible, and his eyes were hot.

Jinchu, did you see it? Yan Yang and Yan Huan became sensible.

Because of the two children, Shen Changze cheered up and invited the teacher to come to his house to teach, and personally instructed them in their lessons after school.

After the joys and sorrows, life continued, and lived a dull and uneventful life.

It is said that April is the most beautiful month of the year. Sun Yijun gave birth to a plump, fair daughter on April 18.

Yu Yuan loved her so much that he looked at her every day and seldom went to Cuiyun Tower.

Prince Rong and his wife were very happy, and Sun's mother also had hope.

Only Sun Yijun was depressed because she could not leave the house for a whole month of confinement.

When Jiang Shu and Yu Lan went to see her, they heard her complaints.

Peaceful and stable days always pass quickly, and it was May in a blink of an eye.

The weather in Da Zhao was good this year, and news of a bumper wheat harvest came from all over the country.

After discussing with all the officials, the emperor lifted the prohibition on alcohol.

Everything was getting better, and the subjects were delighted.

On May 17, Prince Jing's mansion held a wedding banquet.

Zhufeng and Lengxing, Zhuoteng and Shuanghua, the four of them got married together.

In order to facilitate their work, they did not leave the palace, and like Zhuiyun and Tanyu, they chose to live in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace.

On May 18, the Rong Palace held another full-moon banquet, and happy events followed one after another.

After resting enough, Jiang Shu began to inspect the shops and help his father Jiang manage Jiang's business. At

the end of May, a major event happened in the court.
