Chapter 4
After doing all this, she suddenly bent down and held Lumei's hand with a painful expression on her face: "Lumei, my stomach hurts."

Lumei hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Did the girl have a bad stomach, let's go back quickly."

She still remembered the instructions from her own girl before going out, as long as she complained that her stomach hurts, she said to go home.

After helping her into the carriage, Shen Zhiyi leaned against the carriage wall and said: "Remember to send a letter to father, saying that I am not feeling well and cannot go."

"Girl, you don't want to go to the banquet so much, it's the imperial city, how many people want to go but can't go."

She stretched out her hand to pour a cup of tea for Shen Zhiyi, the little girl held the cup of tea and said with a sneer: "Whoever wants to go, I won't go anyway."

All her life, she wanted to stay away from Jiang Huaice and everything related to him. Isn't it good to live?Don't want to die.

At the banquet, Jiang Huaice waited left and right, but she was nowhere to be seen. The excitement gradually turned into greater disappointment.

After a while, Xiao Zian walked up to him with a playful smile on his lips, and hooked Jiang Huaice's neck as soon as he raised his hand.

"Ming Huai, Ming Huai, I heard something interesting today, do you want to hear it?"

Jiang Huaice slapped his hand down impatiently. He was in the mood to listen to him when he was getting irritable.

"Then Fourth Miss Shen is one against five, saving the heroes on the Second Street."

Xiao Zian was clapped by him, but he was not angry. He leaned back and sighed. Jiang Huaice turned his head to look at him after hearing Fourth Miss Shen: "What did you say?"

He frowned, obviously his patience had reached its peak, Xiao Zian stopped teasing him, and leaned over to tell Jiang Huaice what he saw.

Xiao Zian hadn't seen Jiang Huaice's darkening face yet, so he spoke on his own.

"Tsk, but Miss Shen Si really has a kind heart. The person she saved seems to be called Meng Xuan'an. I sent someone to inquire about it. He is just a clerk of Baihe Academy. Hey, where are you going?"

With a slap, Jiang Huaice put the wine glass heavily on the table, he stood up, and walked out regardless of Xiao Zian calling him behind him.

It was Meng Xuan'an again, and Jiang Huaice's heart was already full of waves. When he closed his eyes, Shen Zhiyi's words "Jiang Huaice, you and I are husband and wife, even Meng Shidu has nothing to do with me." Everyone can plead for the Shen family, why are you so cruel! Why!"

She knelt on the ground, crying heartbroken, but he could only push her away, and couldn't say a word, why one sentence after another, it broke his heart.

He took a deep breath and hit the pillar with a fist, as if all his strength had been taken away in an instant, and he sat down on the railing powerlessly. He never wanted to hide anything from her, but he only hid that one thing. There is no turning back.

After the cleansing banquet, life returned to normal, but now Shen Zhi thought that if he wanted to prevent the Shen family from repeating the same mistakes, the first thing to do was to remind his simple and honest father not to trust others too easily.

Just like his colleague, he was the one who stepped on the Shen family when they were in trouble in the previous life, but her father regarded him as a good friend, and he was the one who put the treason letter in his father's study.

It's just that she died too early in her previous life, and she didn't know who the person behind the scenes was. From this point of view, it is still necessary to track down the identity of that person first, if she can enter the residence of these courtiers.
"Have it!"

Suddenly she patted the table and thought of an excellent plan. The wives in the backyard of Dayong's important ministers are more beautiful than the other, and the clothes they wear will never be the same. The madam will keep the embroiderer in the mansion until the clothes are finished.

Her female celebrity is already very good, coupled with her previous life's understanding of those fabric patterns, she will be able to open an embroidery workshop, so that she can form her own intelligence network and make the first move so that she will not be in a passive position.

It's just a scholar, farmer, businessman, this identity still needs to be concealed, and she needs to find a reliable person to help her take care of it.

Thinking of this, she summoned Lumei to find out if there were any shops for rent. If this matter should be kept secret, the Shen family's shop could not be used.

Unexpectedly, Lvmei left for a quarter of an hour and hurried back: "Miss, Mrs. Xiang is here, and she is in the front hall at this moment."

"Xiang Zihua's mother? What is she doing here?"

Shen Zhiyi now feels unlucky whenever Xiang Zihua is mentioned, and the most unlucky thing is this Mrs. Xiang. She was referring to her baby relatives with Xiang Zihua back then. Her own mother has some in-law relationship with Mrs. Xiang. Her sister's husband became proud after he became the chief envoy of Quang Binh.

It's fine to look down on her mother everywhere, and belittle the Shen family, and never mention this marriage. If she hadn't found a better family, she would have kicked them aside long ago.

"Madam asked the servant to tell the girl that Madam Xiang is here to propose marriage, so please don't go out."

Lumei's face was also stained with anger, this man is really shameless, her son humiliated her girl in full view, and now he is still licking his face and proposing marriage.

"I'm afraid this matter is not easy. You go to Xiangfu to find out. I'm afraid Madam Xiang has dug a hole and is waiting for me to jump into it."

Shen Zhiyi didn't believe it, it was probably because the sister-in-law who was the political envoy of Guangping fell, and there was no one to rely on, and thinking of them, maybe there were other things behind this, but what puzzled her was that there was no such thing in her previous life , is it because of the new birth that something has changed?
Shen Shaowei also heard the news that Mrs. Xiang had come to the mansion, and when she arrived at Chunyuyuan, Shen Zhiyi was still embroidering the handkerchief like a normal person.

"You are very determined."

She sat in front of Shen Zhiyi and looked at the double-sided embroidery in her hand: "Xiang Zihua's mother is a snobby, she must have malicious intentions in coming to the manor at this time, I have sent Chun Xing to inquire about it."

Shen Zhiyi smiled and looked at her: "Thank you sister for taking care of me, but Lumei has already returned."

Lu Mei looked angry, saluted the two of them, and said, "Girl, that Xiang Zihua is really hateful, he owed 300 taels of silver in the gambling house! Now that the Xiang family can't pay it back, I think of us."

When she went to inquire, no one told the truth. She only found out when she saw Xiang Zihua going out and followed him secretly. Isn't this a deceitful marriage?
Hearing Lumei's words, Shen Zhiyi also understood what Xiang's wife was up to, she wanted her to marry him, use her dowry to pay Xiang Zihua's gambling debts, and tied up the Shen family by the way.

After all, she is also the daughter of the Shen family, if there are difficulties in the future, can the Shen family not help?

"Her abacus is really good, and it depends on whether I agree or not."

Shen Shaowei held her hand and asked, "Does Zhi Zhi have an idea?"

"I remember that in Dayong's law, if a marriage is cheated, it will be exiled for three thousand miles. This time, it will be solved once and for all, so as to save future troubles."

The corner of Shen Zhiyi's mouth curled up into a smile, Mrs. Xiang would not tell her mother that Xiang Zihua owed gambling debts. Most likely, the deficit in the mansion in the previous life was secretly helped by her mother for the sake of her in-laws. This time, she could wake up her mother and kill two birds with one stone. Not bad.
