Shen Zi had advised on this matter.
The Duke, for the sake of his wife's mood, had a long talk with her all night long.
But Xinluo remained unmoved.
Because of this, the relationship between her and Shen Yi is more like enemies than uncle and nephew.
After so many years of recognizing her parents, this was the first time she took the initiative to look for Shen Yi.
Thinking of the scene three years ago when the man appeared in front of her and apologized with red eyes but was rejected by her, Xinluo hesitated a little...
She had clearly decided not to have any contact with him anymore, but now, for An An and Du Du, she could only take the initiative to visit him.
Suppressing the resistance in her heart, Xinluo climbed the stone steps in front of the Shen family villa, and rang the doorbell in the middle of the night.
*
Unlike the Han family, which only had two guards on duty, the Shen family also had servants and housekeepers on duty even late at night.
The door was opened a crack, revealing half of the face of an elderly man.
"Who is it? You're ringing the doorbell so late. Do you know the rules?"
His face was gloomy, but his attitude in the first half of his sentence was relatively gentle.
After seeing Xinluo's face clearly, the second half of the sentence suddenly became rude.
The villa complex where the top military officials live is not open to anyone.
Someone knocked on the door at such a late hour. Uncle Zhong, the old butler of the Shen family, naturally thought the person knocking on the door was a high-ranking military official.
Therefore, he lowered his voice unconsciously.
But when he saw through the crack in the door that the woman standing outside had an overly young and beautiful face, his tone of voice unconsciously became full of contempt.
"Sorry, I'm Yue Xinluo. Please help pass on my message, I have something important to discuss with Commander Shen." Xinluo was standing outside the door, feeling a little displeased by the contemptuous tone of the butler inside.
But it was late at night, and she knew her visit was too presumptuous, so she behaved politely and explained her identity and purpose.
"Yue Xinluo?" Uncle Zhong frowned and thought about it.
There seems to be no high-ranking officer with the surname Yue in the military.
The two words "Xinluo" sounded familiar, but for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had heard them.
"The commander has gone to bed. If you have anything to say, come back tomorrow."
Uncle Zhong was impatient to receive Xinluo.
He is not a powerful senior official. He comes to see Shen Yi at this time. I don’t know if he is out of his mind.
Uncle Zhong was originally a man of Shen Yi's stepmother Jiang Yunwen. That year, it was he who went to Country M to help Shen Wan and Gu Xuaner find someone to kidnap Xinluo.
He had no patience to serve this woman who suddenly came to him and wanted to find Shen Yi.
After Uncle Zhong finished speaking, he was about to close the door.
"Wait..." Xinluo put her hand on the door and said anxiously, "I really have something important to discuss with Commander Shen. Please help me."
"Hurry up, hurry up, who will help you report this late at night? Commander Shen has already gone to bed, don't cause any trouble!"
Uncle Zhong was not Shen Yi's man to begin with, so he was not afraid that kicking him out might ruin Shen Yi's business.
If he went to wake up Shen Yi at this time, it would be no good for him if he woke him up correctly. But if he woke him up wrongly and got into trouble, Shen Yi would find fault with him and give him a beating, which would be a loss.
For this reason, Uncle Zhong ignored Xinluo's fingers and continued to cling to the door.
Close the door without mercy.
"Go away... Commander Shen can't meet everyone!"
He closed the door extremely quickly, not giving Xinluo time to react.
It seemed that even if Xinluo's hand was clamped off by the door panel, it would not matter.
At this moment, Xinluo of course also discovered the intention of the Shen family's housekeeper.
Although she came to Shen Yi to ask for help, she was already resistant in her heart. For the sake of her two babies, she could lower her head and take the initiative to find Shen Yi, but it did not mean that she could be bullied by the Shen family.
What's more, he is just a servant of the Shen family, not a real member of the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Xinluo frowned, held the door firmly, and suddenly opened the door of Shen's house before Uncle Zhong could expect it. (To be continued)
