Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 157 Shen Ping actually wants to be a concubine?
"Shen Ru, come with me, Yan Shaoqing, stay alone!"

Xiao Wujin glared at Yan Shaoqing bitterly and said to Shen Ru.

Shen Ru wanted to fight for it again, so she immediately went to the study room with Xiao Wujin.

"Do you really want to go to the Western Regions that much?"

Without Yan Shaoqing muttering beside him, Xiao Wujin could finally ask Shen Ru quietly.

"I'll leave the fine salt to you. I have people over at Lishui who can help me mine, collect and make things. There's nothing wrong with me going to the Western Regions!"

When Shen Ru said that he would take a trip to the Western Regions, he made some plans in his mind.

"Xiao Wujin, Liangzhou is desolate and has little rain. It will take you a year and a half to dig the river. Why don't you think of another way?"

“It’s only a matter of time before we reopen the business sector.”

"Why are you so sure?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru seriously and asked.

Well, because that’s what Pei Wenjing did in the original book.

She even suspected that Pei Wenjing was traveling to various countries in the Western Region, and the condition for them to send troops was to help him overthrow the Daduan Dynasty and reopen trade routes.

"Everyone in the world loves peace, and no one wants to live a life of war and chaos."

Shen Ru said: "Master Xiao, if you compare yourself with others, don't you think the people of several countries in the Western Regions just don't want to live a stable life?"

"Or if they really have wild ambitions, I can help you find out!"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru with a complicated expression, why was she so interested?
"Do you know how high the risk is? Even if you are highly skilled in martial arts, what if something happens?"

"Isn't there Yan Shaoqing? He's familiar with the family, so I'm not afraid."

Shen Ru said, why did we end up talking about oil lamps and candles and going to the Western Regions?But she really wants to go!

Xiao Wujin took a deep breath, told Shen Ru what he knew about the situation, and finally responded: "If you want to go so much, I will make an exception and let you go out."

"That's great, Mr. Xiao, I'll ask you to help take care of my family."

Shen Ru was very happy and said, "I will discuss the departure date with Yan Shaoqing and prepare some things for use. Then... I will leave?"

Xiao Wujin also followed Shen Ru out of the study, asked Lu Yi to see off the guests, and left Yan Shaoqing to lecture.

Shen Ru couldn't care too much. After returning home, he talked about it while his family was around.

"What, you want to leave seclusion?"

Shen Yan was the first to ask in surprise: "No, Aru, absolutely no, it's so dangerous outside the pass, what are you going to do?"

"Dad, we have arrived in Liangzhou. I want to go out and have a look. Moreover, I went with the Yan family's caravan. Well, even if it is dangerous outside the customs, the Yan family, a wealthy family, travels in seven days. What danger can there be if you are accompanied by eight guards?"

"Besides, my daughter is not a helpless person. If she is really in danger, she will run faster than anyone else."

Shen Ru tried to convince his parents.

"Aru, but what dangerous mission did Mr. Xiao give you?"

Mother Shen said worriedly, "Master Xiao, how can you let a woman like you work so hard?"

"Mom, you misunderstood. It's really not that Mr. Xiao wanted me to go. It was only after I said all the good things that he let him go. With our status, we couldn't leave Liangzhou City originally, but now we can join the Yan family When the caravan goes out, it’s a rare opportunity, so I finally persuaded Mr. Xiao.”

"It's just... well, dad and mom, you can only wait for me to come back in Liangzhou. Hmm... everyone will treat me as my hostage!"

"What are you threatening?" Shen Yan couldn't help but ask.

"You're afraid I'll run away!"

Shen Ru replied, "Father, mother, don't worry, I will really be fine."

Seeing that they could not convince Shen Ru, Shen Yan and Shen's mother could only sigh.

"Aru, you have grown up a lot and you are also independent. My parents only hope that you will be safe and sound."

"Mom, don't worry. I want to take root in Liangzhou with you for a long time, so of course everything will be fine. I also want everyone to live a better and better life." "After all, Liangzhou is too It's been a little vacant, so the embroidery workshop, there haven't been many customers recently, and it's been taken care of by a few big customers before. Your second aunt and Shen Ping are a little worried about poor business in the future."

Shen's mother said with emotion, "It makes me a little worried. What do you think our family will do if we are left with nothing?"

Shen Ru looked at ease, and the three maids behind him also lowered their heads and smiled. If Shen Ru hadn't refused to tell them, if the matter of fine salt and black water was done, the Shen family would have been rich.

"No, I'm going to take a look outside the customs. Maybe there are other business opportunities?"

Shen Ru joked, "Okay, let's go get busy. I'm also going to make arrangements for going to the Western Regions."

"Sister, you must come back safely!"

My sister, Shen Xuan, said very worriedly. "In the school, Master said that people from the Western Regions are barbarians who drink blood from their hair."

"Yes, yes, sister, they also said that people from the Western Regions used to harass the people at the border."

Shen Nian also frowned and looked worried.

"It's not like I've never seen you before, sister, but I, your sister, am just not afraid!"

Shen Ru touched the heads of his younger siblings and said, "When my sister comes back, you must grow taller!"

After another round of comfort, the worried Shen Nian and Shen Xuan were separated. Shen Ru returned to his room and told Cui Xi and the others what to do next.

"Are you going to the Western Regions?"

It was almost nightfall when Shen Ping came to see Shen Ru.

"Well, go out for a walk."

Shen Ru responded.

"With the young master from the Yan family next door?"

Shen Ping asked again.

"It's with a group of people from the Yan family. Shen Ping, what do you want to say?"

Shen Ru looked at Shen Ping and asked as if he didn't know why.

"Shen Ru, do you have any other relationship with Young Master Yan?"

Shen Ping bit her lip and asked with some trepidation.

"I have nothing to do with Yan Shaoqing. Shen Ping, you are hesitant to speak. What do you want to say?"

"Shen Ru, if, I mean if, you marry Yan Shaoqing in the future, can you help me?"

"Stop, stop, stop, Yan Shaoqing and I will never do this!"

Shen Ru couldn't listen anymore. Why did Shen Ping have this idea?
"What if, with the Yan family's wealth, if Yan Shaoqing marries a wife, he will definitely take concubines in the future."

Shen Ping said anxiously: "Shen Ru, I don't have your ability, and with our status as prisoners, I may not be able to marry into a good family."

"I can bear to open an embroidery workshop and embroider things every day, but I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to do anything."

"I will be old by then, Shen Ru, what do you think I can do?"

"You want to be Yan Shaoqing's concubine?"

Shen Ru felt extremely speechless when she heard this, "Shen Ping, has your brain been caught in the door?"

"I...I just feel like life is so hard."

Shen Ping gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know why you have such a strong heart. My mother and I embroider every day, and our fingers are pricked red. Sometimes I think, am I going to live like this for the rest of my life? Shen Ru, I ...I’m not willing to give in!”

How long has it been? Shen Ru was speechless.

"You should work with peace of mind first, and wait until I come back from the Western Region. Yan Shaoqing relies on his beauty, and he can't look down on ordinary women."
