The Shen family came and went, and it was very lively. Ming Xi and the others disguised themselves and sneaked into the mansion, but no one noticed them. Even if they saw them, they thought they were some child of the Shen family.
"There are quite a lot of guests. I just want to choose a son-in-law. Why does it seem like I have a family of clean people?" Xu Jinbei glanced at the guests who came and went, feeling suspicious in his heart. Apart from the guests who appeared in the arena today, many of the guests who came in and out seemed to be dressed as literati.
The four of them walking together are too conspicuous, Mingxi asked Huohuang to lead Xu Jinbei to the banqueting place in the hall, while he and Mio'er watched around Shen's house silently.
Mio'er lived in Dragon Bone Mountain since she was a child, and she has never seen any dangers in the world. This time she came to the Continent of the World, and she is curious about everything. She knows that what Mingxi is doing now is for Mingyu, and she also likes this soon. The former friends, but, she was a little puzzled, Mingxi, who was fearless, seemed to be very taboo towards the so-called beautiful girls.
"Mingxi, will those beautiful girls hurt Mingyu by entering the palace?" Mioer asked in a low voice.
"People's hearts are far away. After all, Mingyu has a special status, and they are unlikely to treat her sincerely." Mingxi didn't want Mio'er to know too many dark things, so he simply explained.
"Since this is the case, anyway, we still have time. Let's kill all the beautiful girls, and don't let them enter the palace to harm Mingyu." Mio'er clenched her two small fists. She likes Mingyu, so she naturally wanted to To protect Mingyu, if those show girls will hurt Mingyu, then she will kill those show girls.
Cough cough cough! Ming Xi almost choked on his saliva, even if they killed the show girls who were selected into the palace this time, there would be a new batch of show girls, not to mention that he had no reason to do that.
The sixth uncle has been on the throne for so many years and still has not established a concubine. Now that he is willing to draft, it should be what the court officials most hope to see.
It should be what his parents want to see, so he can't use tricks to stop it.
"We can protect Mingyu for a while, but we can't protect her forever." Mingxi patiently explained to Mio'er, "If she inherits the throne in the future, she can't just rely on others to protect her. After all, Mingyu is my parents' daughter. Will be weak and incompetent, she should learn to protect herself."
"It's really troublesome, can't you take Mingyu away with you?" Mio'er asked, if they want to go back to Shangshen Continent, wouldn't it be good to take Mingyu away with them
Mingxi smiled lightly, "Mingyu won't be willing."
When he came back this time, he could see clearly that Mingyu regarded Uncle Six as his father, why would she leave with them and leave Uncle Six alone.
"But..." Mio'er wanted to speak again, but Mingxi saw someone approaching with sharp eyes, so he dragged Mio'er to hide in a corner.
Unknowingly, they had come to the backyard. The people who came were a pair of masters and servants. The woman walking in front was beautiful, with shrewd calculations in her eyes. She walked hurriedly, and the maid behind her strode after her. looking at her.
"Miss, please slow down, if you go out like this, the master will be angry." The maid shouted.
"I'm going to find my father. No matter what, I don't want to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. I have my own heart and I don't want to marry those people at all." It turned out that this woman was Shen Zhu, Miss Shen who set up a ring on the street today.
The maid stood in front of Shen Zhu, "Miss, even if you want to find the master, you have to pass tonight first. There are so many guests outside. If you rush to find the master, he will be angry."
"It's because I'm not his own, so he doesn't care about my feelings at all." Shen Zhu stomped her feet aggrievedly, "Shen Rao'er wanted to be a show girl, so he sent her to the capital city without saying a word, and what about me?"
"Miss, you can't say such things." The servant girl was in a hurry. There are guests outside tonight. If people hear Shen Zhu's words, they will definitely be punished by the master. Not much good.
Shen Zhu cried out in self-pity, "My second sister is worse than my life. She is my father's biological daughter, and she is as beautiful as a pearl and jade, so I can get whatever I want. I have lost my biological parents since I was a child." Well, now my father is just using me as a pawn, he wants to win over those Qing people, so he will attack my marriage."
"Miss, the master treats you like his own..." the servant girl comforted.
"Even you are guilty of saying this." Shen Zhu sneered self-deprecatingly, "Don't worry, I won't lose my mind when I go to my father, but I just heard that the man came today, and I want to see him .”
The servant girl's face changed greatly when she heard the words, "Miss, you must not go, the master will be angry."
"I just went to take a look." Shen Zhu's eyelashes were stained with tears. She liked that person. She lost her parents that year, and the family property was divided up by the tribe, leaving her an orphan with nothing to rely on. His handsome figure just appeared in the In her sight, he handed her a clean veil to wipe away her tears, and comforted her with a gentle smile. At that time, she was really warm like a spring breeze, and her heart became dependent on her from then on.
He brought her to Canghai City, and only then did she know that Shen Yuexuan was her uncle. Since then, she has become Shen Yuexuan's eldest daughter. She has lived in Canghai City for several years, and she almost thought that she was really Miss Shen's family. During this time of recruiting relatives and drafting, she thought she was living a comfortable life.
The maid knelt down, "Miss, every time the master talks to the master about important matters, if you interrupt like this rashly, it will alarm others."
"Then... can I see him again?" Shen Zhu was at a loss. She hadn't discovered her feelings for him at first. If it wasn't for the sudden contest to recruit relatives this time, she wouldn't know that every time she looked forward to seeing him so much, she actually It's because I like it.
"Who do you want to see?" A deep voice suddenly sounded.
"Father?" Shen Zhu was startled, looking at the person with fear on her face.
"You're not in the backyard, how did you get here?" Shen Yuexuan looked at Shen Zhu sharply. To be precise, this woman should be his niece. Now she is raised by him as his daughter, but now she is a little more useful.
Shen Zhu lowered her head, "Father, I heard that Brother Teng is here."
"Who do you listen to nonsense, now he was killed by a traitor and went to the wasteland, how could he appear here." Shen Yuexuan scolded, angry at Shen Zhu's stupidity.
"I..." Shen Zhu wanted to go to the wasteland to find him.
Shen Yuexuan said coldly, "Teng Ye is a friend for many years and also your elder."
"Father..." Shen Zhu's face was pale.
"I will choose a good marriage for you. You'd better not think too much about the others." Shen Yuexuan snorted coldly, and shouted to the maid, "I don't want to send the eldest girl back to the house yet."
Shen Zhu burst into tears like rain, crying until her heart broke, but was forcibly taken back by the maid.
