"Then I have suffered an undeserved calamity today."
“Princess, Princess Dong’e is too straightforward and doesn’t know how to do things. I think her life after marriage won’t be easy.”
Hearing this, Shi Zhenyun sighed: "It's not easy being a woman!"
Shi Zhenyun didn't mean to blame Dong E Gege, but she just couldn't bring herself to like her.
She was pitiful, but being harassed for no reason didn't really bother her.
Shi Zhenyun's maid thought that her mistress was afraid that she would also marry the wrong person, so she said, "Princess, don't worry. You are so gentle, virtuous and considerate. You will definitely find a good husband in the future. Whoever marries you will be blessed and will definitely treat you well."
Shi Zhenyun didn't take it seriously, and these words shouldn't be taken seriously either. After all, marrying someone is largely a gamble. If you're lucky, you'll marry someone who understands and cares for you. If you're unlucky, no matter how gentle and virtuous you are, others will treat you like you're invisible. What's the use then?
"You silly girl, you always know how to say sweet things to coax me."
"Princess, I'm telling you the truth, I'm not just trying to flatter you."
"I understand, but who knows how things will turn out? Ultimately, it all depends on whether you can take it easy."
Don't wallow in self-pity if you marry the wrong person; what matters is living a good life.
Actually, Shi Zhenyun didn't feel particularly comfortable looking at Dong E Gege. She didn't like her, but she also knew that Dong E Gege was an outstanding princess carefully cultivated by her family. For a man, she even killed all the concubines with the same surname who were favored by that man. Shi Zhenyun was also a little scared. Who knew if she would be the next Dong E Gege!
“Princess, you are too capricious. Even when Princess Dong’e said those things to you, you didn’t get angry. I think there’s nothing in this world that can really make you angry.”
Shi Zhenyun laughed and said, "How could there not be! It's just that some things are unnecessary. Dong E Gege is demeaning herself. I'm angry because of her lack of self-respect. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet people like that in the future. Do you expect me to be angry with every single one of them?"
"Gege is so kind-hearted."
The maid then said, "By the way, Princess, you've reached a certain age. Now that Master has returned to the capital to take up his post, it's time to put your marriage on the agenda. I wonder who your future husband will be."
Shi Zhenyun is quite open-minded about this. She has a good background; she is from the Guarjia clan, and even after the incident with Ao Bai, she still retains her dignity. To put it bluntly, she is a good match for anyone. It all depends on how her family arranges things.
"Who knows? Let's go back."
"Yes, Princess."
Bobo only came out of the artificial hill after the footsteps were no longer audible.
After Bobo came out, she said to Xu Nian, "Send someone to investigate this Princess Shi."
"Yes, Master." Xu Nian was somewhat excited upon hearing the order.
The master sent him to inquire about a princess. What does this mean? It means that the master has finally become interested in women.
Xu Nian was like a man possessed, and he started investigating Shi Zhenyun's whereabouts. He found out about her in no time.
"My lord, the information you asked me to investigate last time has been found out. That Princess Shi is a princess of the Guarjia clan. Her father is the daughter of Shi Wenbing, the commander of the Han Banner Army and a third-class earl. Lord Shi recently returned to the capital from his post in another region. He hasn't been in the capital for long. The last time was the full moon banquet for Lord Zhang's eldest son, which was the first time Princess Shi made an appearance in the capital..."
Xu Nian then briefly recounted the Shi family's household affairs. Interestingly, the Shi family's backyard was quite peculiar, as the person in charge of managing the household's affairs was not Shi Wenbing's wife, but Shi Zhenyun.
The Shi family's inner circle wasn't exactly peaceful either. Shi Zhenyun didn't have any brothers from the same mother, and Shi Wenbing's wife wasn't particularly valued by him.
When Xu Nian discovered that Shi Zhenyun was actually in charge of the household in the backyard, he was truly shocked.
Such things do happen in the capital, but they are rare, and those rare cases are usually those where the mother is extremely favored at home. In addition, the housekeeper usually only takes real charge a short period before the bride is about to get married, and usually just helps out the elders in the family.
But Shi Zhenyun is different!
She was a real housekeeper, having been in charge of the household since she was ten years old. Moreover, the Shi family's backyard appeared quite harmonious from the outside, which was something Xu Nian greatly admired.
To achieve this, one truly needs both skill and ability.
Xu Nian was quite happy. If such a capable person became the mistress, it would definitely be beneficial to her master!
Bobo didn't react much after hearing this and simply said, "I understand."
Xu Nian was somewhat surprised. Could it be that he had misunderstood? Surely not?
So Xu Nian tentatively asked, "Master, should I send someone to keep an eye on this?"
Bobo: "No need."
Bobo knew about Xu Nian's little scheme, but she didn't expose it.
"yes."
Bobo then attended Fuqing's wedding. To be honest, they're from similar circles, so it's perfectly normal for them to attend the same wedding banquet.
Especially since Shi Wenbing's family had just returned to Beijing, they would naturally be more out and about and wouldn't miss out on gatherings like this.
Male and female guests naturally wouldn't be together, but who is Xu Nian? Besides, it's at the Fucha residence. Bobo often went to the Fucha residence when she left the palace as a child, so Xu Nian is familiar with the Fucha residence. He can find out a lot of things by asking around.
