If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 392 Madam He, do you have sisters?

As soon as I returned to the palace, I saw the butler coming hurriedly.

"Prince, Princess, Master Shen...he's here again."

Shen Sui'an's eyes turned cold.

"Don't be angry." Fu Jinyuan held her shoulders. "Father-in-law came to the capital to find us because he had nowhere else to go."

"You still don't know him well enough." Shen Sui'an shook his head. "He just heard that you became a prince, so he rushed to curry favor with you and asked you to arrange an official position for him so that he can enjoy wealth and glory here in the future."

"What future can he have in Yong Dynasty? Without my grandfather's support, he can't even be a county magistrate."

Sometimes Shen Sui'an really couldn't understand why his second uncle was taught to have noble character, be honest and straightforward, while Shen Jianglin was so despicable and shameless, as they were both his grandfather's sons.

"I just worry that he's going to be taken advantage of."

If someone wanted to use Shen Jianglin, that idiot Shen Jianglin would definitely be fooled. She couldn't let Shen Jianglin become a pawn to frame Fu Jinyuan.

Fu Jinyuan said, "It's okay, don't worry."

As soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of Shen Jianglin and Jiang arguing.

"Now that I'm here, we naturally need to be reunited as a family. It's inappropriate for you to live in your son-in-law's house with my son." Shen Jianglin's voice came out.

"I told you, when it's time to move back, we will naturally move back." Jiang said impatiently.

Shen Jianglin said angrily, "I see that you are enjoying yourself in the palace and have never thought about living with us."

"Shen Jianglin, how long has it been since you looked in the mirror?" Jiang suddenly asked.

"what?"

Jiang: "Do you know how disgusting your face is now?"

"You used to call yourself a nobleman, but do you have any aura of nobility now? Do you think you can threaten Sui Sui or me by making such a fuss? No, you are the only one who is embarrassed."

"The old man has already said that since you want your family to be reunited so much, then let's go back to the Shen family's old house. We won't go to Kyoto City anymore and will just live a good life in the Shen family's old house."

Shen Jianglin's face finally changed when he heard this. "Why do you want to go to the Shen family's old house for no reason? That place is no match for here."

"For your own sake, don't you want to reunite with your family? Anyway, you can't even be a good county magistrate, and you won't have much future. Suisui is the princess of the Southern Dynasty, so it's not good for us to continue staying in Kyoto. It's best for us to return to our old house." Jiang said.

"I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, go by yourselves." Shen Jianglin shouted and took a few steps back.

He almost bumped into Shen Sui'an who was walking to the door.

"Daughter, I... I just came to visit the old man, I don't have any other intentions." Shen Jianglin said panicked.

Without even waiting for Shen Suian to speak, he had already run out the door quickly.

Jiang followed and came out, "My dear son-in-law, Suisui, you are back."

"Don't worry about him. He can't make any waves."

Shen Sui'an didn't want to be affected by Shen Jianglin, "Mother, let's go back to the backyard."

"Okay." Jiang said with a smile.

Shen Jianglin walked while cursing Shen Suian and Jiang.

Returning to the house where they were temporarily staying, Shen Siyi hurried over to greet them.

"Father, how is it?"

Shen Jianglin shook his head. "I don't think your grandparents and Jiang will be able to move in any time."

"That's great. Tomorrow I will bring my brother to pay respects to our grandparents." Shen Siyi was very happy.

Just give her an excuse to enter the palace.

Shen Jianglin's face was heavy. "Sister Yi, I think you should not go after Lu Yuan. He doesn't look like someone you would be easy to mess with."

He was a little afraid that if he angered Lu Yuan, he would draw his sword and kill Shen Siyi.

"I won't provoke Fu Jinyuan. Father, if we want to gain a foothold in the royal capital, we must expand our network of contacts. Do you think there are many nobles in the palace?"

"How can we interact with those noble families? Naturally, we have to rely on the palace."

Shen Jianglin nodded, "You are right, Sister Yi, you are smart."

……

It took Shen Sui'an three days to finally receive a reply from Mrs. He. She agreed to meet him, but the location could not be decided by Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an naturally agreed.

Madam He asked Shen Sui'an to meet her at the Bamboo Grove Teahouse on West Lake in the southern suburbs.

"This teahouse is very famous in the capital. It only entertains women and never men."

"Princess, Madam He might be worried that you brought guards with you?" Ningshuang said.

Shen Sui'an said, "Do you know who the owner of the teahouse is?"

Qing Su said, "Princess, this is the teahouse opened by Mrs. Ruan's sister-in-law."

"Oh." She was a little surprised that Mrs. He would choose such a place to meet.

Was it to avoid her schemes or to avoid the eyes and ears of others?

Shen Sui'an gladly accepted the invitation.

In addition to the elegant West Lake, the royal hunting grounds and imperial farms are also located in the southern suburbs.

On weekdays, scholars and scholars like to hold various gatherings in the southern suburbs.

"The Queen has a private farm here. Before she entered the palace, she liked to hold polo clubs in the farm." Qing Su said.

Shen Sui'an is also going to organize a polo club next, and Queen Ruan has already given this farm to her.

"Let's go to the farm later." Shen Sui'an said.

The carriage had slowly stopped.

As you step into the bamboo forest, a breeze with the fragrance of bamboo blows by, and the bamboo leaves rustle. In a secluded path, there is an ancient tea house hidden quietly.

The tea house is built with bamboo as its framework, blending seamlessly with the surrounding bamboo forest, with the fragrance of tea and bamboo intertwined throughout the space.

Several young women with their faces covered with light green gauze were making tea.

"Madam, would you like some tea?" One of the women came forward to entertain Shen Sui'an.

"I have an appointment here." Shen Sui'an said.

Just as he finished speaking, a bamboo window on one side opened halfway, "She is with me."

Shen Sui'an was led to a separate bamboo room. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, casting fine shadows on the woman behind the coffee table.

It was Madam He whom I met last time at Prince Kang’s Mansion.

The tea kettle boils water, making a soft gurgling sound.

Shen Sui'an sat down opposite her, "Madam He, we meet again."

"Princess Chen, are you really willing to tell me the whereabouts of my son?" Madam He's voice was anxious.

"Madam He has to wear a veil even when drinking tea?" Shen Suian answered the question irrelevantly.

"Aren't you here to tell me Jingyao's whereabouts today?" Mrs. He immediately became alert and stared at Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows, "Didn't He Zhiyuan tell you about He Jingyao's whereabouts?"

"What do you mean?" asked Mrs. He.

Shen Sui'an raised her eyes and stared into Madam He's eyes. She was sure that these eyes were almost exactly the same as those of Concubine Liu in the palace.

"Madam He, the new emperor of Yong Dynasty will definitely release He Jingyao." This was Shen Sui'an's guess, otherwise the late emperor would not have taken He Jingyao away and locked him up.

I don't know what terms of exchange will be proposed.

"What you said today is as good as nothing." Mrs. He was angry and stood up to leave.

"Mrs. He, do you have sisters?" Shen Sui'an asked.
