Chapter 4 Returning to my mother’s home to seek justice
Si Yan held the back of Shen Ning's head with one hand, and he was eating like a wolf, as if he wanted to eat her. As their lips and teeth were locked, Shen Ning resisted the urge to run away and reluctantly hugged his neck.

Shen Ning actually never understood what was good about this. The thought of eating the other person's saliva was disgusting.

But before long, she felt that she was getting better and better, until a big hand reached into her waist.

Shen Ning was startled and hurriedly pushed Si Yan away.

Si Yan's eyes were still filled with lust, and his voice was a little hoarse: "What's wrong?"

Shen Ning leaned on his shoulder shyly, but in fact she wanted to run away from him as far as she could: "There are people outside."

Si Yan raised his hand to wipe the water stains from her lips, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "What are you afraid of? They don't dare to come in."

After hearing this, Shen Ning swallowed subconsciously. He had agreed to be aloof and abstinent and not get close to women. She thought that he was not injured, but was possessed by a sex maniac.

Si Yan lowered his head again, and this time his lips fell directly on her neck. Shen Ning's eyes went dark and she felt like she had to confess.

At the critical moment, there was a knock on the door: "General, Commander Zuo is here to visit."

Si Yan's body froze, he took two heavy breaths, and his complexion quickly returned to normal: "Come in."

Shen Ning's heart fell back to where it was. "My husband, I suddenly remembered that there are bear gall and dragon bones in the Marquis' Mansion. They are very effective in treating external injuries. I will go back and get them. Don't forget to have a good rest after meeting Commander Zuo."

Si Yan and Zuo Yi have a very deep bond, so it is not easy for her to intervene now. However, she has to deal with the mess in the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible.

Looking at Shen Ning's leaving back, Si Yan's expression was gentle. His wife was beautiful and virtuous, no wonder he liked her so much.

Xuanping Hou Mansion.

When Shen Ning arrived, Ji Xiaoniang and her daughter were dressed up and looked radiant.

Shen Ning resisted the urge to tear them apart and shouted at the top of his voice, "It's so lively, where are you going?"

Everyone was stunned. The first to react was Shen Yuyao. She gave Ji Xiaoniang a reassuring look, walked up to her, took Shen Ning's arm affectionately and said:

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back, sister? We are going to the birthday party for our tutor. I heard they invited a troupe from the Pear Garden. Let's go and have fun together."

Shen Yuyao smiled harmlessly, as if she really treated her as a sister. If it was the Shen Ning of the past, she would have followed her to play without any care, but now...

She looked around, pursed her lips and said, "Where's my mother? Why isn't she going?"

Shen Hong walked into the front hall while sorting out his clothes: "Your mother is not in good health and doesn't know how to socialize. What can you do if you go there? Okay, if you want to go find your mother, go ahead. Jinzhi, pack up quickly. It's time to leave."

Shen Ning had already seen Shen Hong's true face. Now she didn't expect him to change his mind and live a good life with her mother. It was not practical to sever the relationship. The most effective way was to get rid of Ji Jinzhi, the bad apple.

Shen Ning suddenly said, "Si Yan fell off his horse and got hurt. I remember there are bear gall and dragon bones in our storeroom. They are good medicines for healing. I want to take some away." Shen Hong was shocked when he heard that Si Yan was injured. He didn't think much and said, "Oh, he's injured. Go get some medicine."

Ji Jinzhi immediately glared at him after hearing this: "What are you taking? That's such a rare medicinal herb, you can't even buy it outside. You're already old, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Ning and said, "Ningning, this is where you are wrong. The general's family is big and powerful, how can you go back to your mother's house to beg for money? But since you asked, how about this, there are still some tonics in the warehouse, you can take them back to nourish the general's body."

Shen Ning sneered: "I am a legitimate second daughter, but I have fallen to the point of listening to my aunt. Why are the rules of our mansion different from the rules set by His Majesty?"

Seeing that he even brought up His Majesty, Shen Hong's beard twitched: "Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? The family is run by Jinzhi..."

Halfway through his words, he felt guilty and quickly tried to make amends: "The Ji family has been in business for generations, so they understand business better. She must be right."

Shen Hong's partial look coincided with Shen Ning's memory.

"Your mother is useless. Going in to take the blame is the only contribution she can make. With Jinzhi here, the Hou Mansion can make a comeback."

A nameless anger burst out from Shen Ning's heart. She said expressionlessly: "While the legal wife is still alive, no matter whether she is good at business or doing shady things, she must hand over the housekeeper's power."

Seeing her mention the housekeeper's power, Ji Jinzhi got angry: "How can you talk like that? I work so hard for this family. Besides, you are a married woman, why don't you go back to take care of your husband instead of going to your parents' house to show off?"

After she finished speaking, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and fell on Shen Hong's shoulder: "Master, please judge for me. Is there still a place for me in this family? If you all despise me, just write a divorce letter and let me go."

Shen Hong was so distressed by her crying: "Don't say that. You gave birth to a son and a daughter for me. You are a great contributor to the Shen family. How can you leave?"

At this point, he pointed at Shen Ning angrily and said, "You were very obedient before, but now you are getting married and you don't know the rules of etiquette. Jinzhi is right. It is not your turn as a daughter who married out to make the decisions in this family."

The atmosphere was tense. Shen Yuyao suppressed her lips and gently advised Shen Ning:

"Sister, please stop making father angry. My mother said this for your own good. You are so reckless. It's okay if you are at home. Mother is tolerant and will never argue with you. But what will happen if you are in the general's mansion? No wonder there are rumors that you and the general are not on good terms. You really should control your temper."

Shen Hong almost exploded when he heard this: "What! Didn't I ask you to serve the general well? I said that when I ran for the Minister of Rites before, he didn't speak up for me. It turns out that it's your problem."

Shen Ning was so angry that his face turned red. "I have a good relationship with Si Yan. You look for the reasons in yourself when you are not doing well. You are not disgusted. My mother gave birth to a son and a daughter for you, but you didn't treat her well. You think I have no right to manage the family affairs, right? Fine, I will call my brother and let him, the eldest son, do justice."

My brother is obsessed with love and is infatuated with his childhood sweetheart. It's time to find him something serious to do.

As they were talking, Shen Ning had already sent someone to the Hanlin Academy to find Shen Jie. Shen Hong was dumbfounded when he saw her. Although he did not like Zhong Wanqing, he had to admit that her son was promising. Shen Jie had a bright future and was very filial to him. Of course, this was under the premise that he did not know the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing the situation deteriorate, Shen Hong found Zhong Wanqing in a rage and slapped her in the face: "Bitch, is it you who did this?"
