A little bit of disappointment was quietly in her heart. Fu Yao didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. Having a heart for the world is common to scholars all over the world. Even if Shen Zhaoxian becomes an official or a butler in the future, it will be a blessing to the people.

It's true that I feel uncomfortable in my heart. As a wife, her husband's heart is in the world, not in her. Then, that man may be a good official, but not a good husband.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, maybe this is fate!

Fu Yao moved her lips, and after a while she smiled. Her face was soft and calm, "The people of the world will be blessed to have Mr. Shen as a good official to serve the people."

Shen Zhaoxian felt something was wrong when he heard Fu Yao's words, but for a moment he couldn't tell where it was. His tone was firm and persistent, "No, it's not their blessing, it's my blessing."

"Master Shen is right." Fu Yao agreed.

He then showed his usual signature smile, shook the red envelope in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today, I still want to thank Mr. Shen for the red envelope. I'll excuse you now."

Shen Zhaoxian nodded. He couldn't ask too much about the girl's family affairs.

Fu Yao turned around and walked towards the house. The light in her eyes dimmed inch by inch until she could no longer see the light. She had never regretted her choice.

Because that was the best choice she made under the circumstances.

Looking back, she was somewhat disappointed. Maybe she knew clearly that she was going to lose a very suitable husband. Now she was like a mouse that could not see the light and could only hide secretly in a corner.

While trying to figure out how to realize her long-cherished wish, she secretly fell in love with the man she had been with for a long time. She knew it was wrong, but she still wanted to sink in because this was the time she had stolen.

Dragging his heavy body towards the dining room, his mind was spinning with thoughts, constantly imagining that if he had not fallen in love with Shen Zhaoxian, maybe the current situation would be better.

Unfortunately, no if.

The moment she stepped into the door, Fu Yao returned to her usual gentle and demure face, and walked towards Shen Zhaoxian with a smile.

Seeing the woman walking towards him, Shen Zhaoxian was shocked, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. After spending time with Fu Yao for a long time, he knew that the woman in his heart never liked red clothes.

Zhenghong is a dress that can only be worn by the royal family, and can also be worn by girls' families, but this girl rarely wears it.

"Here, this is for you." Fu Yao stood firmly in front of Shen Zhaoxian, holding a red envelope in her soft and white hands with a big word "福" written on it.

The ink was still wet, so it was obviously done secretly when I just went back to change my clothes.

Shen Zhaoxian chuckled lightly and reached out to take the red envelope, "Young lady should know that I am about to be crowned. I am not an ordinary little baby, let alone a three-year-old."

She straightened her clothes, sat calmly opposite Shen Zhaoxian, and said thoughtfully: "I know, Mr. Shen is not a child, and I am not stupid. Of course I know that Mr. Shen is much older than me."

"So this?" Shen Zhaoxian pointed at the red seal with a puzzled expression.

Fu Yao lowered her eyes, stared at the food in the bowl, and opened her teeth slightly, "It's just a courtesy."

Shen Zhaoxian looked at the red envelope in his hand and shook his head helplessly. He was not a child. Only children would look forward to the red envelope at the end of every year.

The two of them looked at each other in silence at the dinner table. They had a tacit understanding and didn't touch the steamed fish. There is more than enough every year! After the meal, Fu Yao felt a little boring. Since ancient times, she had eaten without talking or sleeping. This was always the rule in a large family. In the past, she didn't think it was a big deal. Maybe it was because she knew that Shen Zhaoxian, who was sitting opposite, was eating delicious food. It doesn't taste very good in the mouth.

Silently putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, he suddenly remembered that spring seemed to be coming soon, "Mr. Shen, what are your plans to go back?" If you don't go back, it will be too late.

Shen Zhaoxian was startled. He was planning to discuss with the eldest girl about going to Beijing as soon as possible. However, the eldest girl could call him whatever she wanted. When she was in a good mood, she could call him "Brother Shen", but when she was not in a good mood, she would call him "Brother Shen". Young Master.

"I don't know, when will the eldest lady plan to go back?"

Fu Yao pursed her lips. She didn't have a specific time. She could go back whenever she wanted. "I want to wait until the silly girl's matter is settled before going back?"

Shen Zhaoxian thought for a moment and understood what the eldest girl meant. The eldest girl felt that she was more or less responsible for the silly girl's matter and just wanted to help.

No matter what, I can't escape this topic today. If I don't deal with the silly girl's matter smoothly, I think the eldest girl will not feel at ease when she leaves.

"Shagu is from this village. What's more, now that she is stupid, it is impossible for the eldest girl to take Shagu with her." When Shen Zhaoxian said this, his voice paused and then said: "As a Jingyuan girl, The eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, there is no need for the eldest girl to personally come forward in this matter, there will naturally be someone to help."

"According to your opinion, how do you want to arrange the silly girl?" Fu Yao raised her eyebrows, knowing that the person opposite was more or less aware of it at this time.

"People in the countryside are most afraid of suing the officials. They talk about turning big things into trivial matters."

Fu Yao closed her eyes, and Shen Zhaoxian explained the stakes clearly in a few words. Yes, there is nothing that people in the countryside fear most than officials.

All she had to do was tell the story about Sha Gu's accidental discovery of her childbirth, and follow the local magistrate's comfort or flattery to the power of General Jingyuan's Mansion to make Sha Gu's life better.

At least, it would be much more useful than her doing it herself.

Fu Yao glanced sideways at Gu Yu. The master and servant had grown up together since childhood. With one look from her, Gu Yu understood what she meant.

Guyu nodded.

"So, when is Mr. Shen planning to leave?" she asked again.

"Two days later."

Hearing this, Fu Yao nodded. It would be too late two days later, "In that case, I will ask the people accompanying me to pack up in advance and prepare the things needed to escort Mr. Shen back."

In this way, her friendship as a landlord was also over.

"The eldest lady doesn't want to go back with me?" Shen Zhaoxian said in shock. The eldest girl asked herself this, but she didn't intend to go back with him.

Fu Yao shook her head and explained, "Master Shen has to prepare for the spring of next year. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Naturally, he has to return to the capital early. As a woman, and I have no scientific examinations, I naturally do what I want."

Shen Zhaoxian frowned, "If the eldest lady should go back with me, she will be alone outside. My wife, the general, and the young master will definitely be very worried if they know about it."

"If I go back alone, I think even the third young master will be unhappy when he sees me, thinking that I didn't take good care of the silly girl and left the eldest girl alone." He made his words clear. Besides, he didn't want to The eldest girl is left here alone.
