Help!After marrying the rough general, he was spoiled

Chapter 4 Gossip
After the farce was over, after a simple breakfast, Shen Li wandered around the yard.

Although the Earl's Mansion is not small, there are not many family members. In the past few years after Shen Hai's death, he has relied on the shop where Zhong Ning used to marry for food and clothing.

Looking at the situation, the economy in the mansion is not well off.

Shen Li found a pavilion and sat down, leaning on the stone table with her chin propped on her arms, lost in thought.

Before, she and Zhong Ning depended on each other for life, and they hardly ever went out of their homes.

I have to say that although this method is crude, it is effective. If you don't go out, others will never find trouble to find your door.

Besides, at that time, Shen Li had a fiancé, who also supported the Shen family's appearance.

But now that something has happened to her, she has broken with the Jin family again, and the days to come may not be so clean.

Shen Li raised her hand and pressed her forehead. Just as she sighed, she heard a bluffing sound not far away.

"Miss, ma'am!"

Shen Li raised her head and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure running towards her. After her eyes cleared, she tentatively said.

"Xiao Shuang?"

Xiaoshuang's face was flushed, and she looked travel-stained, as if she had just rushed over.

After hearing Shen Li calling her name, her eyes were red and she was about to cry.

"Miss, you can really speak."

Shen Li nodded, but she didn't want to explain more about this matter. After all, this girl has been with the original owner for so many years, and Shen Li was afraid that she would show her flaws if she said the wrong thing.

If someone finds out that she is not the original Shen Li, it will be a serious matter.

Shen Li took Xiaoshuang's hand affectionately, and changed the subject.

"Why did you come back?"

Xiaoshuang grabbed the skirt with the other hand, hesitating to speak, Zhong Ning came back after finding her today, and said that Shen Li did not marry and went to the Jin family. She was surprised at first, but she didn't know until she entered the city and heard the gossip outside. Something happened to Shen Li.

"Miss, Madam asked me to come back to serve you."

Shen Li hooked the corners of her mouth, but she didn't expect that her stepmother was still careful.

Xiaoshuang's childishness is still intact, and there is even a little baby fat on her face. Although she looks amazing, she can be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu. It can be seen that she has been raised well in the Earl's Mansion these years.

No wonder Jin Changqing would miss it.

Shen Li said with a smile.

"Alright, anyway, Jin Changqing will have nothing to do with us in the future, so you don't have to be afraid of him anymore."

When Jin Changqing was mentioned, Xiaoshuang showed embarrassment on her face.

When the wedding was approaching, Jin Changqing actually proposed to let Xiaoshuang marry him as a housemate. At that time, Xiaoshuang turned pale with fright.

As the saying goes, she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. Xiaoshuang also wanted to find a good man to marry when she was old.

Fortunately, this matter was rejected by Zhong Ning. In order to prevent Jin Changqing from making up her mind on Xiaoshuang, Zhong Ning even asked her to go home for a while.

Xiao Shuang looked at Shen Li's face and saw that she was not at all annoyed at being abandoned by her husband's family, she seemed quite happy.Not knowing what she was thinking for a moment, he hesitated.

"Miss, are you okay?"

After all, you can't hide things when you are young, and what you say in your heart is written on your face.

Shen Li glanced at the courtyard wall in the distance, her voice was unhurried.

"Why, there are rumors about me outside."

Xiaoshuang pursed her lips, her face wrinkled together, she murmured with her head down.

"What can I do in the future?"

Under Shen Li's repeated questioning, Xiaoshuang finally told her about the rumors outside, which was actually within Shen Li's expectation.

It was nothing more than saying that the Jin family didn't dislike Shen Li's loss of innocence, but Shen Li didn't appreciate it. He not only insulted Jin's mother, but also drove her out.

It was even rumored that Shen Li was insulted and stimulated, and now she became crazy.

Oh, by the way, Jin Changqing seems to be looking for a new wife.

Without even thinking about it, Shen Li knew who wrote the rumors.
To pass on a woman who has not left the court like this, I have to say that the people behind it have sinister intentions.

The ancients said, "Starving to death is a small matter, but injustice is a major matter."

Besides, the earl's mansion is full of women's relatives, so it's not clear that it won't leave a way for Shen Li and her mother to survive.

Shen Li sneered.

"Little Shuang."

Xiaoshuang looked at Shen Li suspiciously.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

Shen Li said thoughtfully.

"Has anyone sent invitations recently?"

Although no one in the Earl's Mansion is an official in the court, but anyway, the name is there, and there is still a place in the Earl's Mansion for major and minor matters in Beijing.

It's just that Shen Li and Zhong Ning have always lived in seclusion and never participated in those occasions.

Xiaoshuang didn't know what Shen Li was going to do, so she just nodded in a ignorant manner.

"Yes, in a few days to pray for blessings in Xiangshan, the empress invited many people, and the post has already been delivered."

Of course the Earl's Court is among them.

Shen Li's eyes flickered, as if he had an idea in his mind.

……

Jing Garden.

"Look at you, even though I won the hussar general you dreamed of, you won't be decadent like this."

After Chu Xiong finished speaking in a joking tone, seeing that Si Yan was still looking lifeless, he laughed dryly twice, and had nothing to say after a glass of wine.

"Hey, do you want to go to Xiangshan to pray for blessings in two days? I heard that the flowers there bloom very well."

Hearing this, Si Yan finally raised his eyelids, his eyes were suspicious, and his voice was cold.

"Are you inviting me to enjoy the flowers together?"

Chu Xiong's smile faded instantly, and he moved his butt in disgust, moving a little away from Si Yan.

"I'm going to discuss marriage soon, of course I will go with the girl, who wants to enjoy the flowers with you old man."

Thinking of that scene, he felt a chill from the inside out.

Chu Xiong and Si Yan were in charge of the Western Territory Army and the Northern Territory Army. When they first met, they were not convinced by each other, and they seemed to be tit for tat.

Later, as time went by, the relationship between the two eased, and they could even drink and eat meat together, but whenever something happened, Chu Xiong always liked to compete with Si Yan.

For example, the position of General Hussars, if Si Yan hadn't been attacked by traitors during the battle at Yumen Pass, it would be uncertain who would sit on it.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiong glanced at Si Yan's wheelchair, and asked casually.

"You... really can't stand up?"

Si Yan stared down at the wine glass with no expression on his face.

"As you can see, I can't leave my wheelchair now."

Having said that, Si Yan raised his head and glanced at Chu Xiong, and asked him back.

"So you said how should I climb the mountain?"

Chu Xiong's mouth is notoriously stupid, not to mention that there is no comfort in this matter.

Tell him it's okay and everything will be fine?
But this is fucking bullshit, no one knows better than him what legs mean to a general.

Chu Xiong silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip, thinking that Si Yan, who used to be like a murderous god on the battlefield, is now trapped in this place, and suddenly felt that the wine in his mouth was hard to swallow.

Chu Xiong smashed his mouth, put the wine glass on the table, and said something casually.

"Your wine is a bit bitter, don't drink it."

Si Yan pulled his lips, noncommittal.

Just as the two were silent, there was a sudden noise in the yard.

Guan Fu hurried into the house, his voice was not as steady as usual.

"General, Master Hou is here."
