My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 186
Shen Yuan also learned the inside story of the reward from Qin He, and she was secretly happy.

Before their father-in-law returned to the capital, the couple privately discussed the feasibility of exchanging the secret recipe of gunpowder for the iron coupons of the alchemy book. Unexpectedly, their wish came true. It seemed that Emperor Qianyuan was far more ambitious than he thought.

It was an unexpected surprise that my daughter got the title of county head for nothing. With this status blessing, my daughter had another foundation to establish herself in this world.

Regardless of whether the emperor's move was to win people's hearts or had other agendas, it was enough that the real benefits fell on the Qin family.

After the war, all kinds of businesses were waiting for prosperity.

Even if the secret recipe for gunpowder is handed over, there is no need to worry about another chaos in the short term.

Dayong's current national strength is not enough to support another war. Emperor Qianyuan has a killing weapon in his hand, which is more of a deterrent to the surrounding countries.

The victory in the Battle of Jianmen Pass has a far-reaching impact and may win Dayong a peaceful life for decades.

Because Qin Minzhen was promoted to the title of princess, the Zheng family specially held a congratulatory banquet for her. Shen Yuan took her two children and went with her husband's family to congratulate her sister-in-law.

Qin Minzhen gave birth to her eldest son two years ago, and the mother and son were living well in the Zheng family.

Although a large noble family like the Zheng family had more rules, Qin Minzhen was still able to deal with it with ease. Her family background meant that no one would dare to bully her.

The younger brother-in-law Zheng Keqing took the exam two years later than originally planned. Last year he won the first prize in one fell swoop and became the number one scholar in the 25th year of the Qianyuan Dynasty. He was in the limelight for a while.

Now he is working as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and he is quite favored by the emperor. It can be said that he has a bright future.

Zheng Keqing's backyard is also very clean. The two common rooms arranged by his family earlier were given away before the marriage. Now he and Qin Minzhen are living their own little world wholeheartedly. This alone makes many others envious.

The Zheng family has been a noble family for a hundred years. Many powerful officials from the family came to the celebration banquet. Prince Min and his wife were also invited. The pair accompanying them were none other than Wei Qionghua and Lu Xiuzhuan, who had been newly married for half a year.

Speaking of this couple, they have captured the attention of the world.

With Wei Qionghua's reputation and style in the past, who would have thought that she would turn out to be a good wife and mother after her marriage. It is said that she washed her hands and made soup for Lu Xiuzan, sent her husband out to court in person every day, and leaned on her bed in the evening Waiting in front of the door for her husband to come home.

Now she was standing next to Lu Xiuzan, looking like a little bird who cares about him, which was quite trustworthy.

Shen Yuan felt a headache when she saw this woman. When the news came to Beijing, Wei Qionghua secretly sent her several messages. Some invited her to banquets, and some invited her to visit her. He hid on the excuse of feeling unwell.

I didn't expect to see each other at my sister-in-law's celebration banquet. I had no choice but to do so. Wenxinhou's Mansion and Minjun Prince's Mansion were cousins. When dealing with favors, you still have to do some face-saving work.

Seeing Shen Yuan from a distance, and thinking of the humiliation of being rejected many times by him, Wei Qionghua couldn't help but feel angry, but when she thought of Ya's father's explanation, she still endured the bad breath and greeted him with a smile on her face.

"I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. Is her health feeling better?"

Shen Yuan coughed a few times and said, "Thank you, the County Lord, for your concern. My wife is in good health. Previously, I was ill in bed and was unable to receive guests in time. I hope the County Lord will forgive me if I have been negligent."

Wei Qionghua smiled in vain and said with an aggrieved look: "I heard that my cousin-in-law was unwell. Qionghua wanted to visit her many times, but she never met. Today you and I meet here. Could it be that my cousin-in-law looks down on her? Qionghua, did you deliberately pretend to be sick before?"

"How could it be? It seems that the county master misunderstood. I had caught a cold before and was afraid of infecting others, so I closed the door to thank the guests. I came to the banquet today because I am in good health, and I have no intention of looking down on the county master." After Yuan finished speaking, she covered her handkerchief and coughed twice, proving that she was indeed "recovering from a serious illness."

Knowing that the other party was telling lies, Wei Qionghua still forced out a smile, stepped forward and took Shen Yuan's arm, pretending to be intimate and said: "It's good that cousin sister-in-law doesn't dislike Qionghua. Qionghua and cousin were in love before." Those rumors about me are completely false, I have always wanted to explain it clearly to my cousin in person, and when I met my cousin today, I just wanted to have a nice talk with you."

Wei Qionghua was very strong. Shen Yuan tried her best to break free several times but still couldn't break free from the opponent's grip. She couldn't help but change her expression.

"Dun Jing County Lord, please let go, you hurt my wife's hand."

Shen Yuan said coldly: "If the county master has something to say to his wife, it is better to wait for two days. Today is a happy day for Princess Zhaochun, and you don't want to be embarrassed in public, right?"

Seeing that Shen Yuan had an angry look on his face and that there were neighboring guests spying on them, Wei Qionghua had no choice but to let go, and then looked at Shen Yuan apologetically.

"I'm sorry, cousin, Qionghua really likes you and wants to be close to you too much. Please don't blame me for any inappropriate words or deeds." Wei Qionghua bit her lower lip lightly and whispered with tears. road.

Seeing a piranha with his own eyes, pretending to be a white lotus, Shen Yuan felt her head hurt even more.

He replied with a smile on his face: "My wife has felt the sincerity of the county lord. You can rest easy. I have never believed those things that are false. The county lord does not need to explain, let alone feel grudges."

"That's great..." Wei Qionghua said with a sweet smile: "I know that my cousin understands justice and can distinguish right from wrong. Can Qionghua often go to visit my cousin to play in the future? I have been away from Beijing for five years, and all my old friends are I'm no longer here, it's rare that I feel like old friends with my sister-in-law at first sight, wouldn't my cousin be unwilling to make me a friend?"

"Haha..." Shen Yuan gave a fake smile, "To make friends, it is important to have like-minded interests. I personally think that the county master and I are not close friends. As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine is too little when you have a close friend, and half a sentence is too much to talk without speculation. My wife We really have nothing to talk about with the County Lord, why don’t we make friends with the County Lord instead?”

Wei Qionghua's face suddenly darkened, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "My cousin, are you unwilling to accept Qionghua's kindness?"

Shen Yuan was calm and composed, "I understand the county master's kindness, but I don't need to make friends."

It didn't matter what bad ideas Wei Qionghua had in mind, just block her way to get close to the Qin family.

"Haha... you two are really the same as each other. You are both so ignorant of current affairs and it's annoying."

Seeing that Shen Yuan showed no mercy at all, Wei Qionghua didn't bother to pretend, and the ruthlessness in his beautiful eyes was evident.

"Each other, each other." Shen Yuan smiled calmly.

They are all foxes that have been around for thousands of years. How can they act like a fairy tale here?

"You are very good, let me wait and see."

Wei Qionghua waved his sleeves heavily and left with gritted teeth.

Watching the other person's back go away, Shen Yuan sighed heavily.

It's not that she wants to offend anyone, but there are too many people who secretly have the secret recipe for gunpowder, so she has to kill them all at once. This kind of thing will only happen more often in the future.
