Chapter 361 Return to the Marquis' Mansion
Chapter 361 Return to the Marquis' Mansion
Shen Tingyao and the Shen family father and son were waiting at the door of the Marquis' Mansion early in the morning.
Although she stood straight, the handkerchief that kept stirring in her hand betrayed her.
Shen Tingyao was both excited and nervous.
Of course, I am more happy.
All of them were finally reunited in the Marquis' Mansion.
Many neighbors gathered around the Marquis's mansion to watch the fun.
Ever since the seal on the Marquis's house was removed, there have been people watching from the surrounding area.
The Marquis' Mansion is located in a prosperous area in Shangjing City.
The neighbors around are all rich or noble.
Naturally, they received the news that the Shen family had restored their titles. Everyone was confused at first, but then they saw the Shen father and son attending court normally, and they all came out for a walk.
In addition, a few days later, the news that the second daughter of the Shen family was going to marry the eldest prince also spread. People around them only thought that the Shen family's return this time might be extraordinary.
The Second Madam and Madam Yun naturally had a lot of questions they wanted to ask Shen Tingyao, but with so many people at the door, it was not the time to talk.
The servants sent by the neighbors to investigate, seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, began to chat one after another.
"It seems that this person is really not to be underestimated."
"Yeah, who would have thought that after being confiscated and exiled, he could return to Shangjing City."
"I have to hurry back to report the news. All the young men and young ladies of the Shen family have returned safely. There is not a single abnormal person."
"Not only that, but I think Miss Shen looks much healthier now than when she was in Shangjing."
"Yes, not only that, I heard that several other young men and women are almost at the age of marriage."
"The Shen family is about to get busy again."
"Of course. With a princess consort in the family, how bad can it be?"
What's more, the Shen family's title is hereditary.
Everyone waited until the Shen family's door was closed before returning home to report the news.
At this point, no one doubted that the Shen family had returned.
It is said that except for the old lady who passed away, a few maids stayed in Quzhou to take care of the business and fields, and all the rest of the Shen family who were exiled returned safely.
Oh no.
I heard that there were two more little masters.
One each in the second and third bedrooms.
Looking at the young masters and young ladies of the Shen family, the young masters are very dignified and there is no sign of them having wasted their time in the fields.
The young ladies were generous and polite, and did not feel sad about being exiled.
The ladies and gentlemen of the Shen family all had calm expressions on their faces.
Even the fun-loving master seemed like a different person.
Could it be that exile is actually a good thing?
Although the powerful people in Shangjing were puzzled, the most important thing now was to win over the Shen family.
The emperor never mentioned the injustice done to the Shen family, and the Shen family accepted the loss in silence.
He also let the eldest prince marry the daughter of the Shen family.
A Shen family like this will only become extremely wealthy in the future.
Anyone who is still waiting and watching is a fool.
The best way to win someone over is naturally through marriage.
Of course, the Shen family didn’t know what people outside were thinking.
However, Madam Shen and Madam Yun simply packed up and called Shen Tingyao who was waiting on the side.
In addition, there are Shen Jinyao and Shen Leyao, as well as the first and third wives.
The masters naturally knew that the ladies had something to say to Shen Tingyao, and were worried that it would bring up Shen Tingyao's marriage, so they took shelter and continued to clean up the Marquis' Mansion.
After all, even if Shen Maoshan and Shen Zhizheng returned to the Marquis' Mansion, they were busy attending court during the day, and even if they had time at night, they had to attend banquets hosted by various families.
Shen Tingyao had to receive people coming to the Shen family during the day, but the maids and servants had not bought anything yet, so she didn't do much to clean up.
The maid in Shen Tingyao's hand was given to her by the eldest prince.
All three of them were looking forward to the return of the Second Madam and Shen Jinyao.
This way there will be someone to take care of the household.
The Second Madam had resumed her status as the Lady of the Marquisate, but she was still a little uncomfortable with it. Before meeting Shen Tingyao, she had asked the housekeeper to take the nanny to buy someone.
She glanced at Shen Tingyao who was standing there waiting to be questioned, then glanced at Madam Yun who had a happy face, and finally sighed.
"Tingyao, please tell me."
Shen Tingyao has always been most afraid of the Second Madam, the mistress of the Shen family. When she heard her sigh, she couldn't help but kneel down.
"Mother, Ting'er knows she was wrong."
Madam Yun watched her daughter kneel down, and stood up to help her, but was glared at by the lady.
So he sat back with a wry smile.
"Ting'er, you did make a mistake, but Mother doesn't know why you left home in the first place. Where did you go after you left? And why did you end up with the Crown Prince again?"
As the mistress of the Shen family, she is naturally responsible for the reputation of the Shen family's children, even though the eldest prince and Shen Tingyao are already engaged.
But she still wanted to know the whole truth, otherwise she was worried that Shen Tingyao would be bullied if she entered the eldest prince's mansion.
Although Shen Tingyao felt a little aggrieved, she also knew that the lady was doing it for her own good.
So he told her everything.
When they heard that Shen Tingyao left home to make money, they all fell silent.
At that time, making money was not a shameful thing for the Shen family.
But they didn't expect that Shen Tingyao, who had always been spoiled, would be willing to leave home and suffer.
Shen Tingyao glanced at Shen Jinyao and said embarrassedly, "It's not because Jinyao is capable of making money that I thought..."
After saying this, he lowered his head in shame and embarrassment.
Obviously, she already knew that this kind of thing looked simple, but not everyone could do it.
Shen Jinyao raised her eyebrows, feeling a little surprised and a little impressed.
She had to admire it.
After all, Shen Tingyao is the daughter of a marquis. It is already good enough that she can accept the environment of exile, but she still wants to make a name for herself on her own.
This is bound to be a revolutionary change.
After all, others don’t know that Shen Jinyao has room to save his life. Not only does he have martial arts skills, but he also has the wisdom of modern people in doing business in his head.
If she was born and raised in ancient times, she might not have done something as outrageous as Shen Tingyao.
Yes, in the eyes of many people, what Shen Tingyao did was extraordinary.
Fortunately, she was safe and sound, and fortunately, she met the eldest prince. The two of them were able to get married in the end. It was truly a blessing.
Otherwise, Shen Tingyao has been away from home for so long, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will gossip about her.
Shen Jinyao asked, "Then what's going on between you and the eldest prince?"
Shen Tingyao couldn't help but feel grateful when she heard Shen Jinyao's words.
Judging from the expressions of the ladies, they strongly disapproved of her actions at that time. When they were about to criticize her, Shen Jinyao brought up another topic.
This topic is much easier.
"Speaking of which, I was also quite surprised."
In order to prevent others from thinking too much, Shen Tingyao naturally concealed the fact that she met the eldest prince after being kidnapped.
"I originally wanted to go to the border of Yanzhou to discuss business, but I didn't expect to meet the eldest prince at the border."
Shen Jinyao naturally didn't believe it. After all, what kind of business could be done on the border?
But she didn't expose it, just waited a while to ask Shen Tingyao alone.
To be precise, except for the eldest lady and Madam Yun, no one else believed it.
Unexpectedly, even her own mother didn't believe what Shen Tingyao said next.
