Chapter 495: The Farmer's Spring and Fields, Shen Zhu's Opportunity

u8 reading network

I'll update once today because suddenly there was a plot that I don't know whether to write about it or not.

The eldest prince who was confirmed to have been dead for many years has returned, and shortly afterwards the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty who was confirmed to have been killed by robbers a few years ago has also returned. This news spread quickly, and the sensation it caused was no less than the news about the eldest prince. This was all because the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion was the foster mother who had raised the eldest prince for several years. These two people had the same experience and happened to meet together. It can be said to be a strange fate.

In order to let people know that their eldest daughter had returned and to spread the good news, the people in the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion sent people to spread the news everywhere, so the speed of dissemination was not much slower than the speed of the eldest prince posting the imperial edict.

The people of the Mu family were not the kind of people who liked to show off, but this time it was about Su Zhi, and they thought that since she had returned alive, they had to let people know about it. They couldn't let people mention the eldest daughter of the Mu family and say that she was dead, that would be too unlucky. Everyone had to know that she was still alive, so when they heard that the news of the Mu family's daughter returning home had spread throughout the capital, they were all very satisfied.

Naturally, the people in the Shen family also knew about it. Shen Zhu was so angry that her eyes turned red. Her slender fingers twisted the handkerchief into a knot until her fingers were sore.

Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang were somewhat regretful. They regretted not keeping Su Zhi in their grasp at the beginning. If they had kept Su Zhi in their grasp from the beginning, not only could they embezzle the fourth branch's family property at will, but they could also gain access to so many connections, such as the eldest prince, the prime minister, and the Marquis of Loyalty. Any one of these could make their Shen family soar to great heights!

Shen Ziju was also a little stunned. He thought it was no wonder that his fourth sister-in-law was so special. Not only was she not like an ordinary peasant woman, but even the ladies from aristocratic families could not compare to her. It turned out that she had such an extraordinary background, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty. Fourth brother was really lucky to marry such a smart, kind, beautiful and well-born wife. Such a wife was his dream after studying hard for many years, but in the end, Fourth brother got her easily.

Shen Ziju's heart, which was originally only slightly sour, now felt even more sour.

But what if it’s sour?

Shen Ziju thought that he couldn't do anything before, and he couldn't do anything now. Fourth sister-in-law is the daughter of the marquis, and she is also the apple of his eye who has been lost and found again. The marquis will definitely treat her with all his heart and won't allow her to get hurt. He can't do anything. Moreover, he has his future and his life now. He is going to marry the daughter of the minister, and with the connections of the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law, his path will be easier. For his future, he can only proceed step by step. Fourth sister-in-law can only be the fourth sister-in-law forever, and the woman with eyes like spring water and smile like spring breeze can only be his sister-in-law. Just like the faint lotus fragrance on her body, looming. He will never be able to catch her.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Shen Youfu thought about it for a long time, and finally slammed the table and decided to go to the Marquis' Mansion. He was very concerned about his reputation. His fourth son and his wife had always disobeyed him. He originally wanted to ignore them and not see them until they returned to Hebian Village. Then he would ask someone to go to Hebian Village to tell them that they did not come to see him when they came to the capital, and spread their reputation of being unfilial. Let them know the consequences of being unfilial to their parents.

But now the situation has changed again. The connections of the Fourth House have become stronger. After Xing'er became the son of the Prime Minister and Xiaori became the eldest prince, Su Zhi actually became the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty. This time they are real relatives, not just favors from the Prime Minister and the Emperor. The Prime Minister and the Emperor can ignore them, but the Marquis of Loyalty has become Su Zhi's father. If there is anything in the future, the Mu family will definitely do their best!

Shen Youfu thought that even if he didn't care about his face now, he had to go to the Marquis' Mansion once. This would be good for them, and for Shen Ziju and Shen Zhuquan!

Shen Zhang also said, "Okay, let's go to the Marquis' Mansion. It's a good thing that the boy Zi'an's wife has found her relatives. As parents-in-law, we must go and congratulate them. Zi Ju, Zhu'er, go change your clothes, prepare the gifts, and then we will go to the Marquis' Mansion."

Shen Ziju responded, then got up and went to his room.

Shen Zhu threw her handkerchief and said unhappily, "Mom, you guys go, I won't go!"

Shen Zhu didn't want to see Su Zhi's glory. She had already been envious of Su Zhi. The only thing she thought was better than Su Zhi was that she had a brother who was an official, while she was just a poor bug who almost died on the roadside. But now Su Zhi had become the daughter of a marquis, and her status was suddenly many times higher than hers. She didn't want to see her being proud!

"You have to go! You can't be angry now! You are such a stubborn girl!"

Shen Youfu yelled at Shen Zhu angrily. He was furious because he had to bow to his son and daughter-in-law, and now he took it out on Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu was yelled at and was frightened. Her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. She slowly moved to Shen Zhang's side and looked at her pitifully, seeking comfort and protection.

"Old man, why are you yelling at your daughter for no reason? Calm down quickly. Don't let the servants outside hear it. That would be bad." Seeing Shen Zhu's pitiful look, Shen Zhang advised Shen Youfu.

Shen Youfu said angrily, "This girl really makes me angry. If it wasn't for her marriage, would Zi'an and his wife have to give us a hard time last time? If she is really capable, we don't have to worry at all. She can make the prince's uncle fall in love with her. Look at Zi'an's wife, she is so lucky, with the holy beast and the pond, and many ways to make money. She can even adopt the son of the emperor or a high-ranking official. You say that you don't have such ability and such good fortune, and you have a bad temper and a high mind. If you have the ability, don't make me worry so much!"

Shen Zhu said aggrievedly: "Su Zhi has such ability and such good fortune, isn't it because she was born in a distinguished family and has such extraordinary parents? She knows everything since she was a child, and she is born with such good fortune. How can I compare? If I had also lived in a marquis's mansion since I was a child, I would definitely be a hundred times smarter than I am now, and I would definitely be very blessed!"

"You, you damned girl! Do you despise us?! They say daughters are money-losing things, it's true! You've already despised your family before you even get married, what will happen if you get married? Even if you marry the prince's uncle, you won't think about your parents' family, so you might as well just marry casually! Otherwise, we will lose all our reputation because of you!"

Shen Youfu was really angry. He had always been ambitious, otherwise he would not have worked so hard to support his son's education. But in the end, he was looked down upon by his daughter. How could he not be upset?

When Shen Zhu heard what Shen Youfu said, she immediately apologized and spoke well of him. She still wanted to marry Meng Jinliang!

Shen Zhang went to persuade Shen Youfu again, asking him not to bother with his daughter, saying: "How could Zhu'er dislike us? She is very filial and obedient. Besides, if Zhu'er marries the emperor's uncle, we won't be able to enjoy her blessings much, and we just want her to have more contact with Ziju. They have a good relationship! If you let her marry casually, not only will she not be able to help Ziju, but she herself will not be happy. Then, we, as parents, will be upset, and Ziju, as his brother, will have to worry."

"Zhu'er, you are the same. You made your father angry for no reason. Isn't he doing this for your own good? Going to the Marquis' Mansion to meet your fourth brother and his wife will be good for your marriage."

After Shen Zhang finished persuading Shen Youfu, she spoke to Shen Zhu.

"If your fourth sister-in-law is the daughter of a marquis, wouldn't your status be raised to a higher level? Besides, the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion are very close, so wouldn't you have a chance to get close to the emperor's uncle?"

"Mother is right. It's my daughter who is ignorant."

Shen Zhu's eyes lit up.

The Shen family prepared gifts, changed into their best clothes, and went to the Marquis' Mansion in a carriage. Because of their status, they were naturally invited in.

Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang looked at the mansion and thought it was really a mess. They felt a lot more restrained. They thought that Su Zhi had lived here before and would be her family here in the future. They thought that it was very unlikely that they could get the property of the fourth house. Now they could only rely on the connections of the fourth house, so they had to take care of the relationship. It was okay for Shen Zian to be mean to them, as long as he was nice to his brothers and sisters.

After Su Zhi recognized her relatives, she moved to the Marquis' Mansion and lived in her Qingyou Garden, while Madam Mu moved back to the main house, and naturally Shen Zian and the others followed. Including Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, when they came, the people in the Marquis' Mansion were amazed again. They all said that the eldest lady was blessed in misfortune, surviving a great disaster and gaining the favor of the holy beast. No wonder the children she could adopt were either from the prime minister's family or the royal family. The blessings in the future will continue!

Mrs. Mu's madness was almost cured after her daughter came back. As long as there was no more stimulation, it would not recur. Her eyes gradually got better under Su Zhi's medication.

The Mansion of Marquis Zhongyi is full of joy every day.

The Shen family was invited in after they arrived. After all, they were Shen Zian's relatives and Su Zhi's parents-in-law. The Mu family was quite polite to them, but they already knew what kind of people this family was like, and how much their daughter and sister, whom they loved so much now, had suffered at their hands. Therefore, they were not very friendly and were even a little cold.

Shen Ziju felt that Lord Hou's attitude towards them was not as cordial as before. He sighed in his heart, thinking that this was all the fault of his parents!

Shen Zhu stood obediently by the side, saying a few words from time to time, with a dignified and elegant smile on her face, hoping to win the favor of the Marquis and his wife.

The Mu family said they would hold a banquet to celebrate Su Zhi's return, and invited their family to attend.

Shen Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard the news, thinking this was an opportunity!
