The eldest princess has a very valuable status, and it is not her turn to come forward on such occasions, so this time, it is the three of Shen Xinyan's wife and sister-in-law who came to the Zhou residence to offer condolences.

If it was from an ordinary family, Mrs. Fang might not be there, but because this time it was her direct sister's husband's house, and because of the recent series of unhappiness in the Marquis of Pingliang, she also eagerly wanted to discuss future affairs with Fang Birong, so she took the opportunity to explore. Explore the whereabouts of Zhoufu this week.

It was a coincidence that the blue cloth sedan chair fell into the second door. It happened that Mrs. Ping Lianghou also got off the sedan chair at this time, and several people were polite. After a while, Shen Xinyan and Mrs Yang were led into the hall by the maid of Zhou's residence, while Mrs Fang and Mrs. Pingliang Hou were led away by Fang Birong's maid Xiang'er.

More coincidentally, the maid had just led Shen Xinyan into the hall, and the first lady of the Zhou family, Mrs. Wen, was on the way.

Seeing that it was her, Mrs Wen stepped forward to meet her and said, "Mrs. Shizi!"

Shen Xinyan politely returned the salute, and after a while, a girl went back and forth to Wen's family, saying that there was a lack of tea in the east hall, and the second lady sent someone to go back and forth with the first lady.

Wen said 'excuse me' and left in a hurry.

Shen Xinyan glanced at the direction she was leaving.

It seems that this week's house battle has begun to intensify, and even on such an important occasion, such an undeserved mistake has been made.

don't know if the deceased Mrs. Zhou will be angry when she sees this scene.

"In such a situation, even a tea cup has to be brought to the master. What the hell is going on in the house this week?" Yang sighed.

What about Mrs. Shoufu? Don't even care? What a shame for the guests to see this!

"Didn't you look at this big hall, the master's house is still the unmarried girl in the mansion? What's the matter? The old lady just passed away, and the house in this mansion is in such a mess?" The woman's voice reached her ears.

"Now that the old lady has passed away, all the men in the house have to abide by the rules, and His Majesty has no intention of seducing love. This week's family is anxious, and this rush will cause chaos!"

"Listening to you, it makes sense."

"Is that the eldest daughter-in-law of the first assistant's wife? I heard that she was born in a prostitute? She looks so good, looking at her figure, I really can't tell that she is already the mother of several children!"

"If the prostitute doesn't have a good color, can she marry into the Shoufu Palace?"

"She is also a serious prefect's wife now. She is with her husband, and there is no mother-in-law staring at her, and her left and right sisters can't block her. These days are living comfortably!"

"But now this time back to the house, it's really a black eye, like a blind man. If you're not careful, you will step on the pit. No wonder the inner house is so messed up!"

...

The surrounding whispers kept ringing, and Shen Xinyan lowered her head and sipped her tea, sighing in her heart.

The errands on the outside are gone, so naturally there will be fights on the inside. Although this Wen family is a concubine, she still occupies a "long" character, and Zhou's eldest official position is not low, if you want to compete, it may not be impossible.

As for the Zhou family's direct line, the two biggest backers were Zhou Shoufu and Zhou Empress. Now both of them are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, so how can they care about the battles between the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law in the house.

Shen Xinyan sat with Mrs. Yang for a long time, and chatted a few words with several ladies present, and saw Fang Birong walked in with the maid, while Mrs. Pinglianghou and Mrs. Fang's mother and daughter entered the door after a while.

It seems to be accompanied by the fifth wife Fang Birong.

Shen Xinyan realized it, but she didn't know if this was Fang Birong's voluntary invitation, or a compromise after the battle in the Zhou Mansion.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, how has Mrs. Shizi always been?" Fang Birong walked up to her and greeted her with a smile.

"Thanks to the fifth lady."

Shen Xinyan saw that her complexion was quite good, and the servants of the Zhou mansion treated her with respect. It seemed that the days in the mansion were not as sad as Yang thought, which made Yang, who had been waiting to see her jokes, rather disappointment.

Seeing her coping properly, her demeanor being generous and courteous, she was not at all timid in the face of Mrs. Gao Ming, who was older than her and had a higher rank than her.

When he was about to leave, because Fang suddenly remembered that he had something to tell his sister, he apologized and asked her and Yang to wait for a while, and then hurried to find Fang Birong.

Seeing this, the maids of the Zhou family who led the way led them to a pavilion not far away to wait for a while.

Anyway, there is nothing else, Shen Xinyan is not indispensable, and Yang's is the same.

For a moment, the little girl's unique crisp and soft voice came from not far away. Shen Xinyan looked over and saw several little girls about seven or eight years old coming out from under the flower tree. Maybe it was the girl in the house, until she saw a familiar face, she confirmed this guess.

Due to the mourning period, the little girls were all dressed in plain clothes. Despite this, Shen Xinyan recognized Zhou Wanning at a glance.

It's because among these children, Zhou Wanning's appearance is really too eye-catching, like a bright pearl emitting a lustrous light, easily attracting the attention of the people around him.

Especially the soft temperament on her body is naturally suitable for this simple and elegant dress. Although she is still young now, she is gradually showing a bit of her grown-up appearance.

"That little girl looks like this, tsk tsk, in a few years, the girls all over the capital will be compared by her!" Even the always mean Yang Shi also exclaimed.

Shen Xinyan smiled, looked over again, and found that Zhou Wanning was walking alone on the other side, while the other little girls were either holding hands or biting their ears, obviously pushing her out.

She was not surprised by this.

Her "daughter-in-law" has never had any friends, even if she was barely called a "friend" at first, she would always drift away because of this and that.

She retracted her gaze, lowered her head and brushed the leaves that fell on her skirt at some point, when she suddenly heard the scream of "Yeah" from Mrs. Yang beside her.

She raised her head abruptly, followed her line of sight, and saw Zhou Wanning fall into the pool on the side.

The pool is not big, but it is not easy for a seven-year-old girl to climb up.

She stood up with a 'huh', but saw a boy jumping out of nowhere, jumped into the pool with a 'thump', and just pulled up Zhou Wanning, who was struggling and thumping in the pool.

And the little girls who were with Zhou Wanning earlier screamed and ran away when they saw her falling into the water.

The servants of the Zhou family who heard the abnormal noise rushed over and hugged Zhou Wanning, who was soaked all over.

Shen Xinyan stared closely at the boy who saved Zhou Wanning, and saw him wave at a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper in disapproval. After a while, she seemed to mutter something, and then ran away as if flying. .

"Tsk tsk, this week's family education is really bad. You can start with your own sisters at a young age. If you grow up, it will be fine?" Yang, who witnessed the whole process from beginning to end, pouted with disdain.

"Second sister, do you think so?" After speaking, she touched Shen Xinyan's arm again.

"What did you do to your sisters?" Shen Xinyan had recovered and asked inexplicably.

"So you didn't see it? The most outstanding girl was pushed down by the tallest one." Yang explained.

Shen Xinyan was a little surprised, but it didn't seem to be very surprising.

"I think it's 80% jealous that the little girl looks better than her!" Yang shi directly came to a conclusion.

Shen Xinyan felt that her reason was really convincing!

"I made the two younger siblings wait for a long time, sorry, let's go back to the mansion now!" Mrs Fang looked for it and said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, you sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally there are endless whispers. Anyway, my second sister-in-law and I have nothing important, and it's okay to wait for a while." Yang shi pointed.

Fang Shi just pretended not to hear it, smiled apologetically, and the three of them set off for their home.

The carriage had only driven a certain distance, and suddenly there was a burst of clamor from outside the carriage, and it seemed that someone was saying that there was an imperial decree.

"Is there an imperial decree? Could it be that His Majesty's decree is to rouse love?" Yang said subconsciously.

If so, then Changfang and Fang Birong are also very lucky!

Fang Shi's thoughts moved, and he also thought of this possibility.

Shen Xinyan didn't care what the two said, thinking about the boy who rescued Zhou Wanning just now.

Because of the distance, she didn't see the child's face very clearly, she only knew that it was a child of about the same age as her son. Looking at the dress, she seemed to be the young son of a big family.

"Actually, it's not for the eldest son of Shoufu, but for his eldest son. In this way, isn't this Zhou's eldest son the only one who is still in the court?"

"The sky of this auxiliary mansion is about to change!"

...

Perhaps there were too many horses and pedestrians, and the carriage was a little slow, so that the voices of the pedestrians outside the car came in through the curtains.

Fang's face changed when he heard these words, while Yang's expression was a little weird, as if he wanted to laugh, but he tried very hard to hold it back.

Shen Xinyan naturally heard it, and was a little surprised, but she calmed down in that instant.

Zhou Mao in the previous life was also a prosperous official, a Zhou mansion of Connaught University, with Zhou's first assistant Ding You as a turning point, since then, the long house of the concubine gradually suppressed the direct line and became the biggest winner of the Zhou mansion.

As for the other girls in the Zhou family who are still deliberately targeting Zhou Wanning today, the cruel reality in the future will teach them to be human beings. Zhou Wanning, who they looked down on most in the past, will be the object of their efforts to curry favor in the future.

The father who is the third-rank official but loves his daughter like his life, the bright future is like the elder brother of the madman who protects his sister, the husband who is a close official of the emperor but loves his wife infinitely, the twin sons and daughters of the dragon and the phoenix who symbolize the auspiciousness, and the super-ranking lady of the country.

Zhou Wanning, in the future, will become the object of envy, jealousy and hatred by all the ladies in the capital!

Even if she still doesn't like her, Shen Xinyan has to admit that this woman is indeed the darling of heaven and is full of blessings.

"Madam too, Madam, hurry up, the traitor is coming this way!"

"Get out, get out of here!"

"No, mother...don't..."

The man in uniform who came on horseback hugged the young woman who was crying and struggling in his arms tightly. The thick white mist came and dissipated, and the man's appearance became clearer and clearer...

Shen Xinyan woke up suddenly.

She finally remembered who saved Zhou Wanning today, that is, her admirer in the future, her son's biggest rival in love - Murong Tao, the eldest son of General Zhen Guo.
