Chengyuan

Fang Xu walked slowly on the stone bridge, his eyes fell on the swarms of fish under the bridge, and he felt relaxed.

Shen Ji followed her in small steps, but it was a pity that his long legs had nowhere to stretch.

When Shen Ji saw that his steps were different from those of his wife, he paused and changed his steps.

If I hear Mo here, I'm afraid I'll have to complain about my master again.

"Shen Ji."

Fang Xu looked sideways and called him softly, "Do you know how Qi Guogong started his family?"

Shen Ji was immersed in the joy brought by his careful calculations. When he suddenly heard these words, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Is Duke Qi here to cause trouble for his wife again?"

"That's not the case." Fang Xu shook his head and spoke softly, "Xu is the new emperor who has ascended the throne. He is busy consolidating his position, and he has not been able to do anything for a while."

"With such a cancer around me, I can't sleep well. If he doesn't fall from grace, I won't have peace of mind."

Shen Ji chuckled, with a touch of gentleness in his eyes, "Why is Madam upset because of such a scumbag?"

"I was already at odds with him, and he offended you again. We have to make amends for this." Fang Xu took steps towards the lobby and said lightly, "You are busy in court, if I catch you Opportunity, naturally I will avenge you as well."

Shen Ji stopped and looked at the woman in front of him quietly, with emotions in his eyes that others could not understand.

She said she wanted to avenge herself.

Seeing that he didn't follow, Fang Xu turned around with a suspicious look on his face and asked softly, "Why don't you leave?"

Shen Ji suddenly came back to his senses, smiled faintly, raised his foot and followed her, "Nothing, I just think Madam is really nice."

Fang Xu was confused and glanced at him funny, his lips parted slightly, "Then do you know the details of Duke Qi?"

Shen Ji smiled, nodded slightly, and said warmly, "It's clear, I'll explain everything to Madam."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yinyin's clear laughter came from outside. Fang Xu lowered his expression and whispered, "The children are here, let's eat first, and you can talk to me later."

Fang Xu's tone was extremely natural, as casual as a family chatting.

Shen Ji just looked at her, his eyes were straight, the smile on his lips widened, and his heart was filled with ripples.

At this moment, the word "heartbeat" became a concrete word.

Granny Yuan entered the yard first, followed by Miao Xuan, holding a giggling Xie Yinyin in her arms.

Seeing Fang Xu, Granny Yuan's smile deepened.

Fang Xu walked towards her, stretched out his hand to support her, and called in a low voice, "Mother."

Granny Yuan patted her hand and said with a smile, "Yinyin, this girl has endless energy in one day, and she makes Miao Xuan and I really miserable."

Hearing this, Fang Xu looked at Xie Yinyin with a smile, "Children of this age are at the right time to be naughty."

The little girl was being held by Miao Xuan. She was not being honest and stretched out her little hand to pounce on Fang Xu.

Fang Xu laughed dumbly, raised his arms to hug the little guy, and held him in his arms for a while, "Sure enough, we are separated by a generation, and Yin Yin has only been in my great-grandmother's house for a few days, and she has become a little heavier."

Granny Yuan smiled helplessly, turned to look at Shen Ji in the courtyard, raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is this...Master Shen?"

Shen Ji hurriedly bowed down and said in a deep voice, "The eldest princess can just call me Xiao Shen." Granny Yuan looked at him, then looked at her daughter beside her, and made up her mind, "Xiao Shen, what are you doing? Why are you free to come here today?"

Shen Ji lowered his eyes and whispered, "In response to the eldest princess, I came to see Xie Li for something important, and I happened to meet Madam..."

"Mom, I asked him to come." Fang Xu chuckled and took over the conversation, "Shen Ji has helped our family a lot, so I thought of letting him have a meal."

Grandma Yuan's eyes wandered around the two of them, and she laughed out loud after a while, and said softly, "Have a good meal, have a good meal, Xiao Shen will come to eat often in the future."

Fang Xu frowned in confusion, wondering what the old lady had done.

Just as he was talking, Xie Li and Song Huixin entered Chengyuan together, but their expressions were not very good.

Song Huixin's face turned pale and his steps were a little slow, while Xie Li blushed and secretly handed Shen Ji a knife.

Shen Ji didn't take it seriously and instead smiled warmly at him, as if nothing was wrong.

Fang Xu noticed Song Huixin's strangeness and frowned slightly.

"Wanzhou is in the girls' school, and the eldest daughter-in-law is exempted from the meal." Granny Yuan sat on top, held her chopsticks, and laughed in a low voice, "Everyone is here, please sit down and have a meal."

Everyone sat around the table. Shen Ji made up his mind and sat next to Fang Xu, his ears turning red quietly.

Fang Xu didn't have any objections. He raised his hand to pick up the vegetables and glanced at Song Huixin who was standing aside.

Song Huixin held the porcelain bowl, and poked the white rice in the bowl with his bamboo chopsticks, not even thinking about eating.

Xie Li noticed her, stretched out his hand to pick up some vegetables for her, and whispered, "Don't think about anything else, just eat first."

Song Huixin came back to her senses, hummed slightly, and ate the food in the bowl.

These were all my favorite dishes in the past, but now they taste like wax and are difficult to swallow.

Fang Xu glanced at the two of them, his eyes dim, and he vaguely guessed the reason.

Shen Ji looked calm on his face and was eating appropriately, but secretly he was staring closely at Fang Xu's chopsticks and following closely, completely following Fang Xu's preference in eating.

When Fang Xu put down her chopsticks, Shen Ji also thought about her preferences.

Granny Yuan's eyes were glued to the two of them, and she would look up from time to time. Shen Ji's little thoughts could not hide from her eyes.

After lunch, everyone had their own thoughts and it was considered a harmonious end.
-

Fang Xu was sitting in the hall, his eyes fell on the man opposite, and he asked softly, "There is no one else around now, please tell me in detail."

Shen Ji hummed softly and spoke slowly, "Qi Chong is the son who inherited his father's legacy, but the Duke's palace was already in decline when he fell into his hands. In order to turn the tide and preserve the ancestral legacy, Qi Chong married his wife Zhu Family."

"The Zhu family is a well-known big businessman in Huainan. The Zhu family is the youngest daughter in the family. She is deeply loved by her father and brother. She has funded Qi Chong a lot behind the scenes. She has been working hard to bring the Duke's mansion back to life."

Fang Xu held his forehead and nodded, "So, Qi Chong is also a softie."

"He is a soft-cooked person." Shen Ji held the tea cup and said calmly with cold eyebrows, "It's just that he knew that the Zhu family was too far away from the capital, so he dared to treat the Zhu family like this."

"The Zhu family used to be bandits and made their fortune by plundering. In the early years, the court tightened their grip, and they had no choice but to give up banditry and turn to good deeds. Who would have thought that they had become like this, which made Qi Chong get a big advantage in vain."

Shen Ji sneered with disdain in his eyes, "If the Zhu family were in the capital and Qi Chong dared to treat the Zhu family like this, he would probably have the Zhu family pinned to the ground and beaten half to death."

Hearing this, Fang Xu's thoughts changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes full of cunning, "Is the Zhu family really so arrogant?"
