Chapter 73
For Shen Yunming, it was not good news that the crown prince was reprimanded by the officials, but for the two sisters, it was excellent news.

At least, it can leave them more time to plan.

After dinner, Shen Yunming took the lead to leave the main courtyard on the grounds of studying, Shen Xu wanted to stay in the main courtyard, and Shen Yunan was also there, and after the sisters saluted, they also came out of the main courtyard.

"Then I'll go back first." As soon as he came back, Shen Yun'an followed him to Qingzhi Garden for dinner, now that he finished eating, he should go back to his aunt to say hello.

Knowing her situation, Shen Yunlan and Shen Yunjin didn't stay any longer. After saluting each other, they watched her leave.

Aunt Qin was also there, sending Shen Yunan off, she took Shen Yunjie to greet the two sisters, and went back to her yard.

"Then what's the matter with Brother Ming? When he first arrived at the main courtyard, he looked one way, but when he left, he looked another way?"

On the way back to her own yard, Aunt Qin asked Shen Yunjie rather puzzled.

When everyone was eating together, Aunt Qin was also there, and today she also sat down for dinner.

"Who knows? My concubine brother has always been unpredictable." After thinking about it, Shen Yunjie responded.

"His aunt is pregnant again now. If it were in the past, she must be the most beautiful in our yard, but it's not like that now. I guess he doesn't like it either?"

When mentioning Xiaozheng, Aunt Qin was full of disdain, thought for a while, and told her carefully, "Girl, if you have the opportunity, you should go to Madam often, or get in touch with your fifth and sixth younger sisters."

"After all, I'm just an aunt who was born as a maid. I don't have much knowledge, so don't delay you." Holding Shen Yunjie's hand, Aunt Qin entered the yard with her.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? Why did you delay me?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, both of us will be fine." She said this, Aunt Qin smiled with relief, she pulled Shen Yunjie into her room, handed her the shoes she was working on, and let her She tries on the size.

Holding Shen Yunjin's arm, the two sisters walked slowly towards Jinhuayuan. At first, Shen Yunjin asked Shen Yunlan what she had taught before, as a test for her.

Seeing that she was able to answer all the questions in a very clear manner, then he talked about the dinner just now.

"Fortunately, my father opened the mouth first, otherwise, the eldest brother will definitely find an opportunity to tell my father about the prince."

Both the sisters knew Shen Yunming to varying degrees.

"Sister, you said that if father knew the prince's thoughts, what would he...?" Shen Yunlan had her own guess in her heart, but she still wanted to hear what Shen Yunjin had to say.

"I'm afraid that when we reach the age where we can discuss marriage, this marriage will be suppressed, unless the crown prince makes it clear that we will not be allowed to be with us, otherwise, father will use us in exchange for the prosperity of the Shen family. .”

Shen Yunjin laughed, and she couldn't tell if her smile was ironic, but what she said was exactly what Shen Yunlan thought.

Back in Qingfengyuan, Shen Yun'an was going to greet Mrs. Zheng, and Nanny Kang was standing on the porch, and when she saw her come back, she immediately came up to her.

"The girl is back? If you want to study, go back to your room. The servant girl will send you the newly bought fruit."

As she said this, Shen Yun'an glanced at the room through her, and heard a vague quarrel, "Nurse, but father is back?"

Not to mention Qingfengyuan, even in the entire Shen residence, there are very few people who dare to quarrel with mother.

Shen Yun'an knew that since years ago, his father seldom stayed at home, and even when he came back, he always had trouble with his aunt.

"Don't ask more questions, girl, go back to the house." Mother Kang sighed, although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already obvious.

Shen Yun'an nodded, and glanced at the door of the house before turning around and leaving the main courtyard.

She is the only girl in Sanfang. Although she is a concubine, she can live in a courtyard by herself.

In the main courtyard room, Mrs. Zheng was arguing with Shen Pei, and he asked Mrs. Zheng for money again.

"Don't think I don't know, every New Year, you can save a lot. Since I am your husband, it is only natural for you to give me money!"

Sitting on the soft couch, Shen Pei stared at Zheng Shi. He was already fatter, and he yelled at Zheng Shi several times, and couldn't help panting.

This appearance makes Zheng hate him from the bottom of his heart, especially when he asks him for money again and again, which makes Zheng hate him even more.

As Shen Pei said, every Chinese New Year, she can save a lot from it.

But today, when her nephew left, she took most of it away, and she planned to release the rest together with the monthly records of the servants in the mansion.

Because of the previous lessons, she was going to save herself some backhands, so as not to encounter any situation again, but she couldn't come up with the money.

In the past, it was possible to consider using things from the big house for emergency, but this year the people from the big house came back. If they were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I don't have any money. If you don't believe me, you can search inside." As she said this, Shen Pei narrowed his eyes. Originally, his eyes were not that big, but if he got fatter, he would appear to have no eyes.

He stood up, raised his feet and walked towards the inner room. Mrs. Zheng was sitting on a chair, listening to the sound of things being overturned from the inner room.

Pursing her lips, doubts arose in her heart again.

The family's business is in the hands of his own man, and it has been doing well all these years, and because he is in charge of the business, he is very well off.

In the past, not to mention asking for money from himself, he could even take out a bank note and hand it to her. Why did he suddenly ask for money from himself, paying it back again and again.

At first it was said that the business was not going well, but once it goes wrong, can it continue to go wrong?

She wondered if there were other reasons for this, but no matter whether she sent someone to watch him or detained the people around him for questioning, nothing came out.

"Did you hide the money elsewhere? Ma'am, you and I are husband and wife, you can't treat me like this!"

Not long after, Shen Pei came out of the room, sweating profusely, but he couldn't find anything.

"Officer, I really don't have any money in my hand. You have taken it from me a few times before, and sometimes the amount is not enough. I have to open my face and talk to someone."

"Indeed, during the Chinese New Year, I saved some, but I have to pay back what I owed others, right?"

"If the officials insist on asking me to take out the money, then introduce me for two days. Tomorrow, I will ask Mother Kang to find Ren Yazi, sell those concubines in the backyard, and raise the money for you."

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid the movement will not be small, and it will definitely be known by the second room."

When she said this, Zheng observed Shen Pei's reaction, seeing that he didn't change his face because he said that the second room would know, she became even more suspicious.

Shen Pei stood in the room, frowning tightly. Although he was no longer familiar with the concubines in the mansion, how much money would he have after serving him, even if he sold it?
