Chapter 40 Seeking a Difference
Back then, Shen Xu proposed to marry the Cui family not only because of the accidental glimpse, but also because of the family behind the Cui family.

Who knows, Qinghe Cui's status in the aristocratic family?

These years, the relationship between husband and wife has been cold, and he is anxious. He hopes to repair the relationship with his wife and often has contacts with the Yue family.

Now, his only son has gone to the Cui family's family school to study, and he can associate with the Cui family's nephews, which is what he hopes to see very much.

He believed that with the contacts between the concubine and the Cui family's nephews, he would be able to meet more princes of the family, which would be extremely beneficial to his future future.

"Don't worry, my husband, I will arrange these things." After hearing Shen Xu's words, Cui responded with a smile, and Shen Xu took her hand, feeling a little emotional.

"Husband, it's inconvenient for me to be a concubine." Just by looking at his expression, one can tell what he's thinking, "By the way, when I saw my husband come back today, the waistband looks old, why don't I change it?" One."

Saying that, Cui took his hand out of Shen Xu's, got up and went to the soft couch, took out a net from the basket of the small table, and brought it to Shen Xu.

"This net is well knotted, did Madam make it herself?" Shen Xu took it, fiddled with it a few times, and asked.

"Yunlan made it specially to honor you." When Shen Xu just returned home, Shen Yunlan prepared a gift for him, and she also gave him something on his birthday.

Now there are many nets, no matter the color or style, Shen Xu feels good, "My child Yunlan, I was worried at first, but I was relieved when I saw it."

"After all, it's our child. Even if he grows up in Zhuangzi, he's no worse than other ladies." Cui took back the net from his hand, untied the one around his waist, and replaced it with a new one.

"But after all, she has suffered a lot in Zhuangzi these years. Fortunately, our family is finally reunited now."

Throwing the old net aside casually, Cui's eyes turned red.

Originally, Shen Xu wanted to put away the old net, but seeing Cui Shi getting sad, he couldn't care less, he quickly embraced Cui Shi in his arms, and patted his back to comfort him.

Leaning in Shen Xu's arms, Cui glanced at the old network on the ground from the corner of her eye, then retracted it, suppressing the coldness in it.

"The girl is back! How are you doing today? Is everything going well?" Aunt Qin sat under the window and waited for Shen Yunjie to come back. After receiving the news, she immediately came out of the room to greet her.

"Why does it smell like alcohol?" Aunt Qin frowned when she got closer and smelled the alcohol on Shen Yunjie's body.

"Auntie, I'm fine. Isn't this Cui's cousin going to Jinyang Tower for dinner? I just tasted a few sweet wines, don't worry, I've already drank sober tea."

Holding Aunt Qin's arm with a smile, the mother and daughter entered the house together.

"Madam sent someone to tell me, Jinyang Tower! You are indeed from the Cui family!" Aunt Qin was very happy when she heard the news.

She knew very well how rare it was for them to go to Jinyang Tower for a meal based on their identities.

"This is also due to the honor of Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister, otherwise how could I go to Jinyang Tower, let alone meet the prince!" Sitting down with Aunt Qin, Shen Yunjie continued talking.

"My lord?" Aunt Qin was taken aback, her eyes widened, "Which lord is it?"

"Who else can it be? Isn't that the only one who can stay in the capital?" After drinking, her mouth was inevitably dry, Shen Yunjie poured herself a glass of water, and talked to Aunt Qin.

"Oh, King Tai!" Although she doesn't go out very much, she lives in Shangdu after all, and she naturally knows some things that everyone knows.

"The king of Thailand seems to be young, not as good as the weak crown, right? I heard that he hasn't married a wife yet." Aunt Qin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Auntie, what are you thinking?" Almost choking, Shen Yunjie put down the cup.

"Hey! What else can you think about? Of course it's your marriage! I know, we can't climb high, but it doesn't matter if you think about it."

Aunt Qin smiled mischievously, and reached out to brush Shen Yunjie's hair from her temples.

"Although you are a concubine, Madam treats our mother and daughter kindly, but I still hope that in the future, the girl can be a good lady for others."

In this room, Aunt Qin was talking to Shen Yunjie about the things she was most concerned about, and in the yard on the other side, Xiao Zheng was also talking to Shen Yunming.

"Have you seen the prince yet? Then have you talked to the prince? How does the prince feel about you?"

Looking at Shen Yunming, Xiao Zheng's eyes were bright. She followed Shen Xu to Dongdu, met many people, and even glanced at Xiao Jin from a distance.

At that time, he thought that if his son could make friends with the prince, there would be no need to worry about his future future.

No one knows that Thai King Xiao Jin was raised by the empress's side since he was a child, just like the official family has the empress's son!

All other princes have to leave the capital when they become adults, but King Tai can stay in the capital and often enter the palace.

Even if he gets into trouble, there are officials who will cover him up.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will always try to get close to those who are worth making friends with."

"It's a pity that the girls in our family are too young, otherwise, if the prince can see one, my path will be easier."

Frowning, Shen Yunming didn't notice that when he said these words, Xiao Zheng's face was not pretty.

"It's getting late, brother, go back and rest earlier, you have to get up early tomorrow!"

After a while, Xiao Zheng's face returned to normal. She looked at Shen Yunming with a smile, and after talking to him a few more words, she sent him out of the yard in person.

"My aunt also rests earlier." With an order, Shen Yunming left with his servants, Xiao Zheng stood at the gate of the courtyard, and did not return to the courtyard until Shen Yunming's figure completely disappeared.

The smile that had been on her face had completely disappeared, and she remembered something, and the circles of her eyes were a little red.

"Let's all go down." With an order, she went back to the house alone, closed the door, leaned against the door, and finally shed tears.

-

Although Mrs. Cui said that she would go to the ethnology school to study, she could sleep more in the morning and not have to come to the main courtyard to say hello, but early in the morning, the sisters still came to the main courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yunming was the one who came to greet Mrs. Cui today.

Although surprised, Cui still greeted him with a smile and asked someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

As usual, Aunt Qin stood by and waited on her.Regardless of whether Xiao Zheng is willing or not, she also has to stand aside.

Seeing this situation, the smile on Shen Yunming's face was a bit far-fetched, he only took a few mouthfuls of food, and then presumed that he was full and wanted to leave.

"Mom, we've finished eating too, so we're leaving with elder brother." Shen Yunming came later than the sisters, so the sisters had almost enough to eat.

Cui responded with a smile, personally sent the children out of the house, watched them leave, and then returned to continue eating.

Shen Yunlan and others came out of Qingzhi Garden and walked towards the door together. When they passed by Qingfengyuan, they happened to see Shen Yunan looking at them with envy...
