Shen Qingyun did not go directly back to the Duke's Mansion, but took a detour to inspect a few shops.

The shop was operating normally, and she knew this was because Si Moli had secretly sent people to take care of it. Therefore, even though her shop had always been profitable, she had never encountered any deliberate suppression or provocation.

Pearl followed Shen Qingyun and couldn't help but sigh when she saw the slightly hollow look on her young lady's face.

Although she didn't know what the young lady and the emperor talked about, she could probably guess the outcome. I'm afraid that for now, the young lady still didn't plan to enter the palace.

But she could also see that the young lady was not as free and easy as she seemed.

After going to four or five shops in a row, and still going downstairs, Pearl couldn't help but remind her: "Miss, your lunch is of no use. The sun is getting big now, why don't you take a break."

Shen Qingyun felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. Then he felt that his lips and throat were a little dry, and he felt a little dizzy when he suddenly raised his head.

She asked softly: "What time is it now?"

Pearl looked at her somewhat white lips and said worriedly: "It's almost the end of the day."

"Isn't it already this time before you know it?" Shen Qingyun swallowed the bitterness in his heart and looked at Pearl apologetically: "Let's go back to the house. We'll be here first today."

Pearl immediately laughed: "Okay."

With that said, she stuck her head out and greeted the carriage driver: "Turn around and go back to the Duke's mansion."

The carriage driver sighed after hearing this, and then the carriage slowly turned around and headed towards the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as I returned to the house and entered, I was stopped by a maid with an embarrassed face: "Miss, the lady in the guest house asked you to go there when you get back."

Pearl frowned and looked at Shen Qingyun who was already very tired, her eyes full of distress and dissatisfaction with Shen Nan.

He really thinks of himself as a person.

Shen Qingyun was feeling very depressed now. At this moment, she was even more lazy to make excuses and said lightly: "I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

With that said, he took the pearls and left.

Pearl was delighted and followed her.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu came over with a maid, Lian Bu, with surprise in her voice: "Cousin, you are finally back. I thought we could have dinner together at noon. Where have you been? "

Shen Qingyun forced a smile: "I went out to inspect the shop. I'm exhausted after a day of looking at it. Now I'm going back to have a rest. I hope my cousin will forgive me."

Ms. Lu, however, was reluctant: "That's not a coincidence. I've made some tea, so why don't my cousin accompany me to sit there and have a chat? It just so happens that your aunt has been looking for you since the morning and wants to talk to you about something."

"No need." Seeing her tight grip, Shen Qingyun's voice gradually became colder.

However, Mrs. Lu seemed not to notice Shen Qingyun's cold face, and pretended to be intimate and stepped forward to hold Shen Qingyun's arm.

The next second, her hand was opened directly by the frost.

Lu was stunned and screamed: "Cousin, why is your maid such a hot-tempered person?"

Hanshuang snorted coldly and looked at her quietly to prevent her from making any other moves. The temperament all over her body was like ice slag, which made Lu shrink back for a moment.

Shen Qingyun thought for a while and then said: "Since it is my aunt who is looking for me, I'd better go there."

"Miss." Pearl tugged on her sleeves anxiously and whispered: "Why bother with them? Miss, let's eat first."

Shen Qingyun smiled slightly and patted her head comfortingly.

"It's been so many days, and I still don't know their real purpose. I can't hide from the first grade of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth grade. Since they can't hold back what they say, let's go and listen." Shen Qingyun said, with eyes already filled with emotion. He returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Pearl had no choice but to send her maid to the kitchen to speak, and quickly prepared some food and drinks to send to Jianjia Courtyard, while she followed Shen Qingyun to the guest room.

As soon as he entered the guest room, he saw Shen Nan sitting upright on a chair. This time he seemed to be holding an air of dignity. When he found Shen Qingyun coming, he said dissatisfiedly: "Qingyun, come here, my aunt is here today." I have been waiting for you for a long time and I have something to tell you."

Shen Qingyun sat next to her, across the wooden table, without saying a word.

However, Shen Nan seemed to think that Shen Qingyun was shocked by her momentum. She coughed lightly and drank a cup of tea to moisten her throat: "Qingyun, I'm sorry that you lost your father when you were young, and your mother remarried and abandoned you. There is an old lady who is sick at home, and aunt knows that it is not easy for you."

She paused and then sighed: "But you can't be led astray by those coquettish and unscrupulous aunts in the house. You are a lady, if you don't stay well in the house, go to your grandmother." How can you go out and show your face at will when you have shown your filial piety before me? Now that you are out of your period of filial piety, no one from the Duke’s palace has come to propose marriage. Qingyun, haven’t you seen the seriousness of the matter?"

Pearl stood beside Shen Qingyun. When she heard this, she suppressed her inner anger.

It was as if the young lady had no one to propose marriage because of her misbehavior. It was obvious that the young lady had talked to the emperor in advance in order to avoid trouble, so she secretly stopped many people.

Otherwise, the threshold of the Duke's Mansion would have been trampled to pieces by the matchmaker!

But Shen Qingyun listened to her ramble without any reaction, and followed her words: "What do you think I should do?"

Shen Nan smiled kindly, with a look of care and planning for Shen Qingyun: "Auntie told you before when she came here. You can rest assured that auntie will take good care of you for your father."

"Well, let's just clean up a bigger yard and come out. Since my aunt is here, the first thing she wants to do is to find a good match for you. It just so happens that your cousin is preparing for the next autumn, so he is here Prepare for the exam at home, so that people know that your mother's family is supported by someone. And your cousin, she is also getting haircut, and she happens to be looking for a good family in Kyoto. You two can move around more in the future, right?"

Shen Nan spoke for a long time in one breath. Seeing Shen Qingyun lowering his eyes and listening, he took a sip of water and said again: "Qingyun, your aunt is here, you can get married without worries. I will also help you take care of your grandmother. Having me take care of you from now on will make you feel more at ease than having that aunt take care of you."

After saying that, she looked at Shen Qingyun with a smile on her face, as if waiting for her agreement.

"Auntie, are you done?" Shen Qingyun raised his eyes and looked at her.

Shen Nan rolled his eyes: "Well, that's all for now."

Shen Qingyun nodded and said calmly: "According to what aunt means, are you planning to stay in the Duke's Mansion forever?"

"Qingyun, don't you want your aunt to spend more time with you?" Shen Nan looked distressed: "Aunt is not thinking about you at all times."
