The carriage first stopped in front of Xu Sumin's house. Shen Xinyan thanked her again for what happened today, and made an appointment for the next meeting. Then she ordered to return home.

On the way back home, Wei Chenglin kept his head down, but he couldn't control the grievance in his heart.

He didn't understand why his mother was so disgusted with Mr. Zhou's family. He thought his mother should be able to get along well with Mrs. Zhou, just like she did with Mrs. Xu. No, even better than with Mrs. Xu, after all, they were both such gentle and considerate women.

And there is A-wan's sister, who is so well-behaved and sensible, and is about the same age as my sister, so they should be able to become good friends.

It's a pity that my mother is prejudiced against the Zhou family...

He sighed like a little adult, got off the car in a depressed mood, still stood beside the carriage, and personally helped Shen Xinyan down.

Shen Xinyan naturally knew what he was depressed about, but she had no intention of comforting him, and was even less willing to back down on the matter.

In fact, before she was mentally prepared to face Zhou Wanning and the Zhou family in the future, she was unwilling and did not want to have any contact with that family, and naturally did not want her son to get close to that family.

If God has destined her to be related to the Zhou family in this life, at least she should try her best to gain enough psychological buffer time.

"Second sister-in-law and Lin'er are out? It's really rare to see you two mother and son go out together." Not long after entering the second door, he met Yang.

"Third aunt." Wei Chenglin stepped forward and greeted her.

Shen Xinyan immediately calmed down and said with a smile, "It's a rare day to have some free time, so let's go for a walk outside. Why are you walking around the garden alone?"

"If my two brats were half as filial as Lin, they would be willing to accompany me out for a stroll, so that I wouldn't have to wander around alone and it would be so boring." Yang's smile was much brighter than usual. Shen Xinyan thought that she had encountered something good, and was about to say goodbye and go back to the house when she heard Yang asking with a smile and covering her mouth.

"With Aunt Yan entering the mansion, Brother Lin will be busy in the future. Second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about having no one to talk to you or walk around the garden with you."

Shen Xinyan woke up from a dream.

No wonder, it turns out that his smile is so bright because of her jokes.

She felt helpless again.

This Yang was not a wicked person, she was just a gossiper and loved to take advantage of others. Besides, she was a fence-sitter, so she always kept a distance from her, neither being too close to her nor being too distant with her.

However, she is best at arguing with her and poking at her feelings!

"My Fu Ning Courtyard is still a little empty after all. It's not as lively as your third room. Oh, by the way, I heard that Aunt Chen is pregnant again. I really want to congratulate my third brother's wife. She will be a mother again in a few months!" Shen Xinyan smiled sincerely.

The corners of Yang's mouth twitched, and she suddenly had the urge to break the other person's hateful smile.

Don't hit someone in the face, you know? Be a kind person, you know? !

Wei Chenglin looked at his mother in surprise. In his impression, his mother was always a kind and gentle person, but he never thought that she had such a sharp-tongued side.

He has always disliked people who like to argue, but for some reason, when he saw his mother smiling and retorting to the point that his third aunt was speechless, he felt that his mother with this side was even more lovable.

The next moment, he lowered his eyes in shame again.

Does it seem a bit inappropriate to describe your mother as cute?

Instead of seeing the other party's joke, Yang was squeezed and made fun of by the other party. She felt quite depressed. Chunliu, who had been following Shen Xinyan closely, covered her mouth and laughed.

The Third Madam is really something. How many times has it happened? Why hasn't she learned her lesson? She keeps coming to me to eat the first place.

Wei Chenglin saw her shoulders twitching, then looked at the smiling Shen Xinyan, then looked at Yang's stiff face, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted slightly. The next moment, he felt that it was not good for a young man like him to laugh at his elders, so he lowered his head quickly and said, "Mother, I'm going back to my room first."

After scolding Yang, Shen Xinyan felt much better. She smiled and said, "Go ahead. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes that you like for dinner. Remember to come back early."

"Yes, thank you, mother!" Seeing that she still cared about him so much, Wei Chenglin felt warm in his heart. He gave a faint smile, bowed to Yang, and then walked away.

Yang was bored and didn't want to stay any longer, so she made up an excuse and left.

After walking a distance, he turned around and looked at the background of Shen Xinyan and her servant in the distance. After a while, he spat softly, "But you are just taking advantage of me verbally. I don't know how bitter you must be in your heart right now! When Yan gets pregnant in the future, I want to see if you can still smile!"

He comforted himself by saying this and felt much more comfortable. Then he hummed softly again, raised his head slightly and walked away leisurely.

That night Wei Junhang came back earlier than usual. Seeing his daughter holding needle and thread and sewing something, he went up to her and teased her for a while, coaxing the little girl to make a purse for him. After the little girl patted her chest and agreed, he laughed and rubbed her head, then told the nanny to take her away.

Shen Xinyan sat aside with a smile, watching the father and daughter quarreling. She felt that looking at these two people, the depression in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

The couple sat and talked about their daughter's interesting stories for a while. Shen Xinyan remembered that Wei Chenglin had mentioned earlier about letting Lin Fu learn martial arts, so she told Wei Junhang about it one by one.

"Master Wu said a few days ago that he was bored at home and wanted to find something to do outside. It's a good thing that I can hand Lin Fu over to him, so that he won't complain about being too idle all day long." Wei Junhang slapped his thigh and said.

Master Wu was originally a soldier under the Duke of England. Later, he was injured on the battlefield. Although his life was not in danger, his leg was no longer as agile as before, and he walked with a limp. In addition, he had no wife or children, and was a lonely man. The Duke of England recruited him to teach the young Wei Chenglin martial arts.

Shen Xinyan was not surprised by his answer. After thinking for a while, she said, "Have you found a teacher for Pingfu? It was also Lin Ge'er's idea that Pingfu should live with him and study and practice martial arts together."

"I already have a few candidates, but I haven't decided on the final one yet. I'll take a look in a few days and try to decide as soon as possible."

Since Wei Chengqi was rejected by Mr. Zheng, who was invited back by the Duke of England to teach Wei Junhang, Fang held her breath and soon found a famous teacher for her son. The eldest and second wives both hired teachers to teach their children, so Yang naturally did not want to be left behind and also found a special teacher to teach her two sons.

As a result, it became a custom for every child in the mansion to have his or her own special teacher.

Shen Xinyan also planned to follow this practice and find a husband for Ping Fu.

Seeing that Wei Junhang really took the matter of Lingfu to heart and had already found a candidate, she felt relieved.

At dinner time, Lin Fu learned that he would be able to go to Wei Chenglin to learn martial arts from Master Wu in two days. He immediately said in a very clear and loud voice: "Thank you, Madam! Lin Fu will definitely learn martial arts well so that he can protect you when he grows up!"

Looking at little Yingzhi who was leaning against her mother affectionately, he added, "You can also protect Ying'er!"

"I don't need your protection, I have a father, a mother, and a brother!" Xiao Yingzhi snorted at him proudly and looked at her brother sweetly, "Brother, are you right?"

Wei Chenglin nodded gently: "Yes!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw my sister smile even sweeter.

Fu tickled his ears and looked at Shen Xinyan expectantly.

Shen Xinyan touched his head, smiled and said softly: "Then I'll leave it to you, Lin Fu!"

The little boy's face seemed expressionless, but his eyes were sparkling so brightly that Shen Xinyan couldn't help but want to laugh.

It was unclear who this child looked like. At such a young age, he loved to act like an adult. Sometimes when she saw his serious look, she couldn't help but want to laugh, but at the same time she felt a little sad.

What happened to Pingfu in the previous life? Did he get his revenge? Is he still alive? Did he go back to look for himself?

Unfortunately, no one could tell her the answer.

That night, Wei Junban stayed in his wife's room.

The night is cool as water, and the moonlight shines on the ground.

The drawn curtains in the house blocked the sound sleep of the couple inside.

Shen Xinyan was tossed around by the man beside her for who knows how long. When he was finally satisfied, she was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

Perhaps because of the intense "exercise" before going to bed, she slept unusually deeply that night.

However, soon after the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the distance, she seemed to be in a familiar scene in a daze.

"Ying'er is my only sister. How can I not be sad when she is gone? But mother, this was just an accident. My second uncle just pushed her accidentally, which led to the tragedy. It was not intentional..."

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" The woman's voice was very sharp, and it was filled with chilling hatred.

"Mother..."

"Get lost! In this life, the next life, the next life, or eternity, I will never forgive anyone from the Zhou family! And I will never let go of the person who killed my daughter!!"

The scene suddenly changed.

"Mother, how could you do such a thing? Ah Wan is your biological daughter-in-law, why can't you treat her well?"

"Husband, don't say anymore. It's my fault. It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with mother..." The gentle woman covered her face and cried.

"Now that my Ying'er is gone, how can the daughter of the Zhou family still be so carefree?!"

The scene turned again.

"The Duke has ordered that Madam Dowager move to the family temple!"

"You bastard, is it you? Did you instigate my son? You bastard, I will never let you go. I will never let you go in my life..."

"It has nothing to do with Awan. This was all my idea. Mother, you should have expected this outcome from the moment you left Awan behind!"

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha... That's great, that's great, you really are my good son!"

Shen Xinyan suddenly closed her eyes.
