Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xie Jian looking at every passerby with a cold expression. The fifteen-year-old boy had no youthful spirit at all, and she had no idea what he was thinking. Shen Heng couldn't see through him. Thinking of what the boy had been through..., she was more worried about her own situation at the moment.
The mistress's father was cruel enough to abandon his daughter. Something would definitely happen when she returned to the Shen family, and a verbal battle was inevitable. She had to take this opportunity to change Xie Jian's opinion of her.
Since what happened last night was planned by Xie Jian, and she suddenly came back in a mess, if her personality changed, Xie Jian would definitely think that what happened last night was a big shock to her, so he just let the change go.
The Shen family’s affairs need to be laid out first.
"Xie, Xie Jian." The name she heard in history class came out of her mouth.
Xie Jian glanced at her coldly.
"We've arrived at Zhongyi Bridge." The driver jumped off the carriage.
Huh? So soon? She hadn't even prepared yet. Shen Heng watched Xie Jian pay the fare and had no choice but to follow him down.
There are people coming and going around, so it’s not appropriate to talk about it.
Zhongyi Bridge is a bridge over the Neiliu River in Xicheng District. The alleys, markets and some shops nearby are named after this bridge.
The Shen family's house is in the middle of the alley, with two stone lions standing at the gate. They are not the kind of wealthy families you see on TV, but small lions squatting on stone pillars. Although they are small, they are the only one in the alley, which shows that the Shen family is also a wealthy family in this area.
The fifty-year-old housekeeper opened the door and saw Shen Heng and Xie Jian. His face turned grim: "What are the Second Miss and Second Uncle doing here? Didn't the Master say last time? From now on, everything that happens to the Second Miss has nothing to do with the Shen family."
Is this the legendary cunning slave? Chen Heng said coldly: "This is not something a servant like you should be concerned about."
"I am only sharing the burden for you, Master."
"How about asking the neighbors on the left to come and share the burden, to liven things up?"
The housekeeper was stunned. The second girl in the seal had already had red eyes after hearing what he said. She ran away in anger and shame. How could she speak like that?
Xie Jian also glanced at Chen Heng in surprise.
What's so good about it? Chen Heng smiled at him friendly, and said, "Everyone just needs to get used to it slowly."
A maid saw the second young lady and the second uncle coming back, and hurried to report to the master and the mistress. When she was about to enter the lobby, she was stopped by a young girl who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping.
The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She glared at the maid and refused to let her in or speak. Then she listened attentively to what the people inside were saying.
Seeing the second young lady and her husband approaching, the maidservant could only whisper, "Third young lady, the second young lady is back, and her husband is here too."
"What is she coming back for? To embarrass herself?" The third girl, Shen Yan, turned around and saw her second sister and brother-in-law. The smile on her face disappeared, and her good mood was gone.
This girl is Xie Jian's real fiancée, Shen Yan, the younger sister of the concubine. She is the same age as Xie Jian and looks pretty and cute. Among the three sisters, she is the most beautiful, followed by the eldest sister who is not married yet. Shen Yan is the most ordinary and has the dullest personality, so Shen's father easily let her marry Xie Jian instead of Shen Yan.
At this time, a woman's smiling voice came from the hall: "Master Shen, don't worry, the Shen family is a kind family, and the third daughter is so beautiful. The man who can match the third daughter must be the best man in our Nanqi County."
