Chapter 453 Who is he?
Because the news of Shen Huaichen's faked death was only known to a few close relatives.
Therefore, not many people knew that Shangguan Jin had gone out for a trip.
Even the Shangguan family didn't know about Shen Huaichen's presence in Shangguan Jin's courtyard.
Of course, that's what Shangguan Jin and Madam Shangguan were saying.
It is said that there are many efficacious temples in various parts of Chongqing.
I'm taking advantage of the fact that I can still walk now, so I'm going out for a walk.
Pray for my loved ones, pray for my family, and pray for the entire Chongqing region!
Upon hearing this, Madam Shangguan, who had initially wanted to object, was immediately speechless.
They've considered both their own families and the larger community; it wouldn't be right to stop them now.
Therefore, Madam Shangguan specially slipped Shangguan Jin a lot of silver notes.
"Take this! If you come across a particularly efficacious temple, please offer incense and donate some money for it."
We also pray for our loved ones, for our family, and for the entire Chongqing region.
Shangguan Jin had no choice but to accept it in the end.
As the weather gradually turned colder, Shen Huaichen had already planned his route and was preparing to head south.
As for Shangguan Jin, everything is almost ready.
Everything was arranged, from food and clothing to the accompanying vehicles and the people.
However, a small incident occurred just before departure.
When Shangguan Jin went out, she only took one person with her, Dongmai.
Similarly, when Shen Huaichen went out, he only took one person with him, Shen Zhong.
Shangguan Jin felt that it was more fun to travel with people you could talk to.
She felt that winter wheat was the most suitable.
Shen Huaichen, after going out, also felt that it was quite nice to have someone by his side to run errands, buy things, and inquire about information.
We can't expect him to do everything by himself!
This plan is good, but there is one person who is a little unhappy.
who?
That's Aunt Xin, Dongmai's best friend in recent years!
Aunt Xin always felt that she and Dongmai had gotten along very well over the years.
Wherever Dongmai goes, he will think of her and take her with him.
She would bring back any delicious food she saw outside for Dongmai.
In the entire mansion, she and Dongmai were the best of friends.
Of course, now everyone in the manor respects her, and no one looks down on her.
Therefore, when Aunt Xin learned that Dongmai was going out with Shangguan Jin without her, she felt a little uneasy.
Like everyone else in the mansion, Consort Xin was unaware that the Duke she had once admired was in the Madam's courtyard.
Although Aunt Xin was unhappy, she was good at regulating her emotions.
She felt that the lady and Dongmai must have their own reasons for not taking her along.
For example... I'm worried that she's getting too carried away with her fun outside and doesn't want to look at the accounts anymore.
Aunt Xin could only sulk while preparing things for Dongmai and Shangguan Jin.
A small purse or handkerchief that you carry with you.
Oh, Aunt Xin's embroidery skills are quite good now; at least in a silk shop outside, she could sell it for more than five copper coins...
That day, Aunt Xin packed the small purse and handkerchief she had prepared into a bundle.
In addition, she also prepared some banknotes of various denominations and stuffed them into her purse.
Now that she's rich, she's preparing extra for the winter wheat.
I'm afraid Dongmai might suffer some hardship outside because of money...
When Dongmai arrived at the gate of Shangguan Jin's courtyard, she found no one there.
Wait a minute, there used to be an old lady watching over things here, but she's not here today!
Although Aunt Xin was feeling uneasy, she still mustered up her courage and gently pushed open the door.
There shouldn't be any bad people here; after all, this is the Duke's mansion!
Just as Aunt Xin went inside with her bundle, Shen Huaichen came out of Shangguan Jin's room.
Aunt Xin was stunned...
What did she see?
A middle-aged man came out of the lady's room...
Could it be some relative of the Shen family? Or someone from the lady's maternal family?
Aunt Xin stared at Shen Huaichen in disbelief, never expecting that this man seemed somewhat familiar...
Shen Huaichen was also taken aback.
Take one more look...
Oh, so she's the original owner's concubine who never consummated her marriage...
"Dongmai! It's for you!" Shen Huaichen called out into the house.
Dongmai, who came out upon hearing the noise, was also startled when she saw Aunt Xin.
Shen Huaichen just smiled, then turned and went back inside.
Dongmai quickly looked at Aunt Xin, who was still in shock.
"Why are you here at this hour? Didn't I say I'd come to see you tonight? Look, did I scare you...?"
Aunt Xin was still in shock.
She didn't hear what Dongmai was saying at that moment, and she hurriedly took Dongmai's hand and walked outside into the yard.
Seeing that no one was around, Aunt Xin looked at Dongmai and asked.
"Who is that person? A relative of the lady?"
I still don't know how to explain winter wheat...
"You really don't recognize him? Think about it carefully!" Dongmai reminded him.
Aunt Xin thought for a long time, but still shook her head.
"I really don't know him! Who is this person? He seems to know you guys quite well!"
Dongmai opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
You really don't recognize me? You...you even tried to pull down my pants...
