Chapter 309 Visiting the General’s Mansion

"When will it be your children's turn to make the final decision on marriage? Can your parents still harm you?"

"I know about this, and I nodded in agreement. What's wrong with Mr. Zhong? Is it that his looks don't match you, or that his family background doesn't match you?"

"But, his reputation is really bad, and our personalities are incompatible!" Shen Liwan was trying her best to talk about what she was thinking, but she couldn't finish her words and was stopped again.

"Okay, stop talking about it. What does it mean to have a family and establish a career? Of course, before you start a family, you will do stupid things and be ignorant. It will be fine after you get a family!"

"That is to say, I have used you to be a bit unruly and willful, so I let you continue like this. This matter cannot be changed, it is settled like this."

Shen Liwan had no choice but to leave from the study. After returning to the yard, she hugged the maid and cried. Although the maid was still hugging her, she could only comfort her:

"Miss, maybe you can make sense to me in a few days."

"Impossible." Shen Liwan shook her head, but her eyes became firm and she said:

"No matter what the family arrangements are, I will never accept my fate!"

The next day.

Shen Liwan did not listen to Mrs. Shen's words and stayed at home honestly. Instead, she quietly left the house and ran to the general's mansion.

When Lin Yuyan heard the maid's report that Shen Liwan had come to visit, she suddenly felt confused, touched her chin and said:
"Why is she here? What can happen if she comes to the General's Mansion?"

Lin Yuyan couldn't understand, so she waved her hand to the maid and said:

"Forget it, let's let people in first."

Shen Liwan came in and bowed to Lin Yuyan, then said:
"Madam, I'm very sorry for disturbing you, but Lu Youyou and I are friends, and we passed by here today, so I came to see her specially."

When Lin Yuyan heard that the other party came to see Lu Youyou, she became even more confused, but without thinking too much, she said to the maid beside her:
"Since you are here to see the lady, then take me to the lady's courtyard!"

Shen Liwan said two more decent words according to etiquette, and then followed the maid to Lu Youyou's side.

Lu Youyou was playing with Xuan He in the yard. The two were running when they suddenly saw someone walking towards the yard. She quickly said to Xuan He:

"Don't run away yet, someone seems to be coming to my side!"

Xuanhe tilted her little head and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. At this time, she had already seen that the person entering the courtyard was Shen Liwan.

Why did Shen Liwan come to see me? He and Shen Liwan only had that one contact at most, so they couldn't be considered friends!
Even though they said they had become friends that day, they could only be polite and pleasantries at best, but she came to see him again today!

Lu Youyou was puzzled, but she still took the initiative to run over and said to Shen Liwan with a smile:
"Ah, why did you come to play with me?"

A gentle smile appeared on Shen Liwan's face and she nodded: "Why aren't you welcome? We are all friends. If you don't go to see me, isn't it normal for me to come and see you?"

Lu Youyou nodded vigorously, then took Shen Liwan to the pavilion next to him and sat down.

In order to get closer to Lu Youyou, Shen Liwan said a lot of polite words, and then said:

"I just returned to the capital. I don't know anyone. The two of us had a very happy chat last time. I feel that you and I are very destined." "I haven't seen you in the past two days, but I feel very sad. I miss you so much, so I came here specially when I passed by today. You don’t blame me for being abrupt, do you?”

Lu Youyou shook her head and said something perfunctory. In fact, she felt strange in her heart because she had been taught by her elder brother before to keep distance from the other party.

So she didn't show a particularly enthusiastic attitude today, which was in contrast to Shen Liwan's deliberate approach to getting closer.

It's just that Lu Youyou was treated as a child, and Shen Liwan didn't pay much attention.

"I'm very happy that you can come see me, but my mother doesn't let me go out to play all the time. Even if I want to, I can't."

When Lu Youyou said this, he didn't show any special kindness. Instead, he pulled Xuan He next to him and played again.

In fact, she deliberately didn't want to chat too much with Shen Liwan.

She saw that Lu Youyou and Xuan He had such a good relationship, and she seemed like a superfluous person sitting here, but she refused to leave just like that.

So I chatted with the two of them without saying a word, and even said deliberately:

"Xiao He is so cute. I like playing with children because they all say I have a child-like personality."

A few people were chatting and playing like this, mainly Lu Youyou and Xuan He Wan'er, but after playing for a while, Lu Youyou became a little bored.

After all, she originally had the character of an adult, not to mention that in such a small and broken yard, what's the fun?

Just now she was just making noise and having fun, but now she has something on her mind, so she is not so focused on playing.

Seeing that Lu Youyou was bored, Shen Liwan felt that she had a chance, so she said deliberately:
"I'll take you two out for fun. I know you can go out to the lake today, and there's a painting studio and opera singers on the lake."

"We don't need to be close to the stage. We can just sit on the boat and listen to the opera singers. This is a rare enjoyment."

Lu Youyou originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw Xuan He's eyes lighting up, she was obviously moved, so she had no choice but to nod and say:

"Okay, then the two of us will go out with you, but we have to tell our mother!"

When Shen Liwan saw Lu Youyou agreed, she nodded happily, and they went to find Lin Yuyan together.

Lin Yuyan couldn't resist Lu Youyou's request to be with Xuan He, not to mention that Shen Liwan kept saying nice things next to her. She also felt that if she refused, Shen Liwan would not be able to come to the stage, so she had no choice but to nod and say.

"Okay, but you have to be careful. You three girls must be taken care of when you go out. Let the guards in the palace follow you."

After Lin Yuyan called the housekeeper over and gave her instructions, Xuan He couldn't wait to run outside.

Along the way, Shen Liwan deliberately kept talking, and she was always asking about Lu Shengqing.

"Actually, the Imperial College is very busy, so I don't know a lot of things. I've told you everything I know before."

Lu Youyou looked like she really didn't know. In fact, she didn't want to say more. If Xuan He didn't really want to come out to play, then she would definitely find an excuse to reject Shen Liwan's invitation.

"Oh, that's it. Then what does your brother usually do when he comes back?"
