When I came back from Zhao Zhiyin, I saw Aniang talking to Mrs. Zheng from a distance.

When the two families met, the arrogant look on the faces of the Zheng family's mother and daughter was obvious.

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Shen are half-sisters. She heard from her sister that before her mother gave birth to her, Mrs. Zheng would tease her mother-in-law every time she saw her. The mistress of the General's Mansion stayed alone in the empty room.

Ever since she was in the boudoir, she had been competing with her mother-in-law everywhere. Whether it was clothing, jewelry, or servants, she was better than her mother-in-law. She was also a gentle person, so she must have thought that she was her elder sister and would give her whatever she wanted.

At the end of the fight, Aniang became the superior mistress of the general's palace, but she married an inconspicuous civil servant.

The Zheng family used to be prosperous. At that time, Shen Nantian had not yet become a general and was only a lieutenant. However, later on, the Zheng family was in recession. Mrs. Zheng felt that she was not as good as her sister, so she lost contact with the Shen family. .

The reason why we met this time was because Mr. Zheng finally got promoted. When he came to Changyuan, Mrs. Zheng must have shown off a lot.

Before I even got close, I heard Mrs. Zheng's voice raised eight tones.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"

Mrs. Shen nodded slightly. She had not seen her sister for a long time, and she felt happy.

"Sister, now that you have moved to Changyuan, our two families need to move around more."

As expected, Mrs. Zheng said proudly: "Yes, now my husband has been appreciated by the emperor and promoted to Changyuan. Your Majesty also sympathized with our long journey and gave us a house. During the New Year, General Shen came to visit. Sister, why didn't you come?" Coming?"

Shen Wuhua was about to speak angrily, but Shen Ange stopped him, shaking his head slightly behind him to signal her to stop talking.

"On New Year's Day, things in the house are busy and I can't get away, so I asked my husband to go alone."

After exchanging pleasantries, the Zheng family's mother and daughter left.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zheng glanced at Shen Ange.

Shen Ange also saw Zheng Hemo's expression behind Mrs. Zheng. Although she tried her best to hide it, she also saw a hint of pride.

The cousin in her impression has changed a lot.

"Humph, what is the pride of the Zheng family? She is just a fourth-grade civil servant, which is not enough in front of my father. Look at how proud she is. I thought she was rewarded with something extraordinary."

"Hua'er, don't talk nonsense. What did Mrs. Zheng say that you should respectfully call me aunt?"

Shen Wuhua kicked the wall beside him dissatisfied.

Once she was far away from Shen Ange and his group, Mrs. Zheng's face immediately darkened, and she said to Zheng Hemo: "You are not as good as her in terms of appearance. If you can't win the eldest princess's attention at the birthday banquet, When you get back, face the wall and reflect on your faults!"

Zheng Hemo's face was unhappy, and the viciousness in his heart faintly flashed.

My mother has been comparing Shen Ange to herself since she was a child. She is inferior to Shen Ange in every aspect. As long as she is around, she can only be at a disadvantage. Originally, she thought it didn't matter. She is her and I am me.

But gradually her mother said it more often, so she got beaten more often, and she gradually became unwilling to do so. She also wanted to behave better than Shen Ange in front of her mother.

And today's birthday banquet is an opportunity.

At the entrance of the eldest princess's mansion, people entered in order.

Zheng Hemo saw such a big house for the first time. In the inner garden, people were drinking and drinking.

Such magnanimity left a deep mark on her heart.

The eldest princess of Yiyang has not shown up yet, so the birthday banquet was arranged in the garden. The female relatives gathered together in twos and threes to talk. I thought that the general's palace was big enough with a fish pond and a small bridge, but I didn't expect that the princess's palace was even more majestic, with a small bridge and flowing water. , twists and turns.

"Auntie, the princess's mansion is so big." Shen Ange couldn't help being surprised and sighed.

"Shh."

The General's Mansion has received a lot of rewards this year, so it is naturally the target of various families to please and win over. For a time, the three female members of the Shen family were surrounded inside.

"Mrs. Shen, County Lord Shen."

"Mrs. Shen is so lucky. Her eldest daughter became a cavalry officer, and her younger daughter was granted the title of county lord."

Shen Ange looked next to his mother-in-law and saw that there was no trace of Shen Wuhua anywhere, so he ran away early.

This kind of banquet required little human contact, so she had no choice but to deal with it with her mother-in-law.

From a distance, Mrs. Zheng saw all this, curled her lips in disdain, rolled her eyes and said, "Mo'er, you have to fight for your mother."

"Yes, mother."

Not long after, Shen Ange couldn't resist and said to Mrs. Shen, "Mom, I'm busy first. I'll go find Zhiyin."

After walking around, Zhao Zhiyin didn't find it, but he saw Zhou Jing.

He looked much better and was keeping a polite distance, smiling and saying something to Qiao Yulan.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Jing caught a glimpse of Shen Ange. Zhou Jing's eyes lit up, and he tactfully got away from Qiao Yulan and walked towards Shen Ange.

"Sister An Ge," he called loudly.

"Brother Jing," Shen Ange nodded and said with concern, "Are you feeling well?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said jokingly: "Thank you, Lord County, for thinking about me. It's not a problem. I've recovered."

Shen Ange said angrily: "Brother Jing will make fun of me. Although I am the head of the county, I will always be Shen Ange."

Zhou Jing led her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea with his own hands. Before the two of them could sit down, Zheng Hemo walked up next to her.

"Cousin Ange."

Shen Ange had no choice but to introduce her to Zhou Jing, and then the three of them sat together.

Zheng Hemo sniffed it twice, then picked up the teacup in front of Shen Ange and smelled it.

"This tea smells so good."

Zhou Jing introduced: "This is the latest tea species this year."

It has a bit of fragrance, and Shen Ange feels that this smell is very familiar.

The garden was very lively. On the westmost pavilion of the eldest princess's mansion, Gu Chong hurriedly climbed up, looked at the female family members coming and going in the mansion, and asked anxiously: "Where is Miss Shen Er?"

It was clear that the sky was clear when I went out, but now my son blew a few clouds and covered the sky above the eldest princess' mansion.

In the backyard of the General's Mansion, Gu Qing was standing under a tree. The attendants just thought he was observing the cave that day, and they all passed by him without coming forward to ask.

There was no one around, a thin bamboo tube fell from the tree, and then a gray eagle landed on his shoulder.

Pouring out the secret letter from the bamboo tube and opening it, Gu Qing's eyes gradually darkened until the shadow completely covered his pupils.

Gu Chong entered the princess's mansion quietly and even entered through the back door. He was not aboveboard but only doing dirty things.

His eyes moved, and he raised his hand to touch the eagle on his shoulder, his expression cold and frightening.

"Miss, I told you before, why didn't you listen..."

He raised the corners of his mouth, like a smile that appeared after being pulled by external force, and his very low voice was full of teasing, "I'm afraid the young lady won't be able to cope with this."

Her little idea, how to deal with absolute power, was so stupid and naive that she could see through it at a glance.

Since it is a threat, it should never cause further trouble.

Want to save?

He was leaning against the tree, his expression unchanged, making it difficult to tell his mood.

Not only had she been angry a few days ago, but she had also taught herself that if he showed up again for no reason, she might suspect that he was deeply scheming and that he must have appeared to arrange a murder.

Forget it.

Anyway, his young lady is very smart, so if she hadn’t prepared something for Li Zhi, the Crown Prince and the Duke’s Mansion, there would be no need for him, right?

He sneered, stood up and was about to walk into the room. When he raised his feet, he saw the leather boots she had made for him, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.

Finally, his eyes were fixed forward, his fingers clenched, and after twisting the secret message twice, it turned into dust and slipped away from his fingers.

She wants him to change.

But miss, your ridiculous benevolence is worthless in the eyes of others...
