Rebirth and madness, I am no longer the mistress of this high-class family!

When Shen Yuan learned what Pei Zhaoxue had done, she looked at the young man sitting on the low couch by the window and felt that he was a little strange for a moment.

The young man's eyebrows were hidden in darkness, and lightning flashed from the window occasionally illuminating the corner of his cold eyebrows, which was shockingly cold.

"Did you really do this?"

Shen Yuan didn't think that Pei Zhaoxue was cruel. Fang Huiwen and her daughter would end up like this. They really deserved it, and it was just retaliation.

It's just a bit unexpected that given his character, he would cause Fang Huiwen pain by letting her daughter suffer the same pain Yan Wan suffered back then.

She also thought that Fang Huiwen's daughter might be released by him.

Pei Zhaoxue said "hmm" and raised his eyes to ask her, but did she think he was too cruel?

To be fair, Fang Huiwen's daughter was not involved in Fang Huiwen's murder of Yan Wan. It was normal for Shen Yuan to think so.

But she shook her head and looked out the window at the foggy sky:

"If you don't do this, it would be cruel. It is just cruel to your mother. She has been kept in the dark her whole life and allowed to be manipulated by others. Even her death was planned for her by others in advance. In the way of death, as her heir, if you can do this for her after her death, she will know how to rest in peace."

"That's right." Shen Yuan looked away, and when she looked at Pei Zhaoxue again, her eyes were a little complicated, "I'm quite surprised that you would do something that is not in line with your previous personality."

"My personality?" Pei Zhaoxue trembled her long eyelashes and asked her, what kind of personality should he have in her eyes?

What character?

Shen Yuan thought about the adjectives she saw in the annals of modern history, and now combined the memories of two lifetimes to see him. For the first time, she felt that he had broken away from the shackles of history, and for the first time he was getting along with her in his true form.

It is not like before, she has many strong shackles on her body.

"He is as dignified as jade, behaves with self-control, is restrained and polite, and is extremely rational." Shen Yuan said almost all the adjectives that could cover Pei Zhaoxue in one breath, and her clear voice echoed in the empty couch room, making Pei Zhaoxue laugh out loud.

"In your eyes, and in the eyes of the world, am I actually like this?"

Pei Zhaoxue himself didn't know what kind of character he should be.

He just knew that the adjectives Shen Yuan said could help him very well on his way to higher places, and he happened to be able to do it, so he acted like that.

To tell if he was such a person, an answer vaguely emerged in his mind.

Fang Xuelin and Pei Fangshi have been resolved one by one, and the grudge between Shen Yuan and the Pei family has been completely settled today.

From this moment on, she and Pei Zhaoxue were just familiar strangers.

With a relationship of this magnitude, why is there any need to care about his true appearance?

So Shen Yuan stood up and drank the last sip of tea in the cup: "Okay, no matter what, I have already taken care of the Pei family's affairs for you. There is no point in worrying about these issues anymore. Please write to Pei to inform him. As for the news that my family members have reconciled with me, I will also go back to Qingzhou and tell my family about this."

Pei Zhaoxue nodded: "Well, we have already sent people to make preparations. What's more, I couldn't get any information about the person behind the scenes from Fang Huiwen. I just know that the person is a woman."

"Woman?" Shen Yuan recalled all the events in his past life. Because he died too early, he didn't know how the court would go in the end.

In the modern historical records of the Yan Dynasty, the political power of the Yan Dynasty was never said to be in the hands of women.

She noted this down and asked Zhiluo to help grind the ink on her way to Qingzhou after parting ways with Pei Zhaoxue. She wanted to write a letter to Cui Shao asking about the situation in the palace.

Among women today, there are only two types of people who can hold great power.

One is the woman in the emperor's harem, who is closest to the emperor and has a lot of first-hand information.

Another one is the Queen Mother's side. The Queen Mother still holds a large part of the power. She happens to be in a hostile state with Pei Zhaoxue. It is possible for her to take action, but it is too conspicuous. After all, this matter can obviously be traced to the Queen Mother through many layers of connections. Once it is revealed to the emperor, it is equivalent to actively exposing one's life point, which is not like the Queen Mother's behavior.

However, it is not known if the Queen Mother did this deliberately and wanted to make a dangerous move.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is better to be true a priori.

When the carriage arrived in Qingzhou, it was completely dark.

The rain has not stopped, but it has become lighter.

What started as a downpour turned to drizzle.

There was a thin layer of mist in front of the main entrance of Shen Mansion, and the guards on duty held paper umbrellas and stood firm in the cold wind.

Shen Yuan got down from the carriage holding an umbrella. Seeing that the guards were about to go in to report, she stopped them.

"No need."

When she came back this time, she didn't tell Shen Xuan and the two elders in the family in advance because she planned to give them a surprise.

So there is no need to make it too grand.

The guard took the order and told Shen Yuan before returning to the original place that the Shen family just sent away a young girl invited by Shen's mother tonight.

You should be talking to him in Shenxuan Courtyard at this moment.

"She should be ready to help the eldest young master look at his future marriage partner."

Shen Yuan guessed the same.

If not, why would her mother invite the young girl over?

Shen Xuan's yard was near Shen Yuan's yard, so she asked Zhiluo to put the luggage she had brought back into the yard, while she went directly to the next yard with a paper umbrella.

"Mom, it's not that Miss Li today is bad, it's just that I don't care about marriage right now, and I really don't want to start a family so early."

"Xuan'er, you are already nineteen this year, and you will be weak next year. Most men in the Yan Dynasty got married when they were sixteen or seventeen. If you keep delaying it, the older you get, the worse it will be. A suitable young lady, look at Yuan'er, who got married at the age of sixteen, and as his elder brother, you haven't married yet, how do you look like that?"

Shen's mother was born in the former household minister's family. The education she received since childhood told her that starting a family is the most important thing. The Shen family is now just a family of merchants. With Shen Xuan's background, if she doesn't take advantage of her youth to find a suitable match, , when you get older, it will definitely not be easy to say goodbye.

Even if it's easy, the quality of the girls you look at is definitely not as good as today's.

So Shen's mother was very insistent this time.

"In this way, if you are not satisfied with what my mother sees, you can tell me, do you have any that you like? As long as it suits you, and your parents have checked it, and it is true that the family background is innocent, then it doesn't matter whether you choose a farmer. You are still a powerful girl, and your parents don’t object to you, how about that?”

Gao Wei was getting married back then, so she did not hesitate to sever ties with the Gao family, so there were not many restrictions on Shen Xuan's marriage candidates.

Shen Xuan sighed: "Mother."

"Don't try to fool me. The portrait of the woman you put in your house was accidentally seen by me once before. Whose girl is it? Tell me."

Pei Gou: My wife completely ran away, woo woo woo.
