Leng Lanzhi's wrist was hanging in the air, his eyes looking at the blank rice paper. The tip of the fine brush dropped large drops of ink, staining the rice paper.

Fortunately, it is completely white, with no writing or paintings on it.

"Princess, are you tired? Want something to eat?" Xiaorou came in with a tray filled with cold and delicious sweet soup.

Leng Lanzhi put down the pen, not having much appetite: "Put it down."

Madam Xia has been here for a while, but Mrs. Zhao has not come back yet.

Could it be that Mrs. Zhao planned to have the marriage test directly outside?

Just as he was thinking about it, Alan came back: "Princess, Madam is back, but..."

"What happened?"

"Madam didn't arrive at Shen's house. She met my aunt who was coming back halfway."

Leng Lan was stunned, and then he remembered something.

During this time in the previous life, Shen Yizhi's sister Shen Lan'er came back.

When Shen Laner got married, the old Pingnanhou was still alive, and the Pingnanhou Mansion had not yet declined. Therefore, Shen Laner's husband's family was pretty good. Although he was an official outside the capital, he was a third-grade magistrate who held real power. Moreover, the area under its jurisdiction is Jinzhou, which is very prosperous.

Shen Laner married the eldest son of Jinzhou Zhizhou Mu Fangzhou.

Lao Ping Nanhou held real power and was a real second-grade marquis. According to the situation at that time, it was Mr. Fang who had the upper hand.

Therefore, when they first got married, Shen Laner and Mr. Fang really had a good time.

However, it didn't take long for the old Marquis to become critically ill.

Mr. Fang began to let himself go. Every day he either visited brothels or brothels, or was keen on bringing concubines home.

Shen Lan'er reacted very violently at first, ranging from beating and scolding the concubines at times to fighting directly with Mr. Fang at worst.

Although her behavior was considered outrageous for this era, the old Marquis was still alive at that time, and the Fang family was still a little wary, so they let her go.

Later, the old marquis and the old lady passed away one after another, and the status of the Pingnan Hou Mansion plummeted. Mr. Fang could no longer tolerate Shen Laner. The mistress of the Fang family also severely punished this daughter-in-law. From then on, Shen Laner Then he became honest.

But later, when she married Pingnan Houfu under the cold weather, Shen Laner suddenly became the sister-in-law of Princess Jialuo of the current dynasty, and the Shen family was once again overwhelmed by Shen Laner.

In the past few years, Mr. Fang has become a lot more honest. Although there are still several concubines and children in the house, they were all taken in and born in the year when the old Marquis passed away. After that, he did not dare to mess around again.

The reason why Shen Laner ran back to Shengjing angrily this time was of course because Mr. Fang had committed another crime.

This eldest son has no other abilities, but he is quite good at flirting with women. Not long ago, he hooked up with the concubine of General Dingguo's mansion who was passing by Jinzhou.

Although she is a concubine, General Dingguo is a first-class military general in the dynasty, and her status is much higher than that of Pingnan Houfu.

Mr. Fang immediately decided to marry this concubine as his equal wife.

Shen Lan'er naturally couldn't agree, so she had a big quarrel with the Fang family and ran back to Shengjing.

In the last life, Shen Lan'er ran directly back to Pingnan Hou Mansion. Shen Lin'an was still in the manor at that time. She got along very happily with this aunt, but she was unanimously disliked by Leng Lanzhi.

During this period, Leng Lanzhi was busy trying to find something to do with Shen Yizhi, but he forgot about it.

Being interrupted by Shen Lan'er, Zhao naturally gave up on the idea of ​​blood testing and decided to settle her daughter's affairs first.

Not long after, a servant from Xinyue Garden came to send a message, saying that the lady wanted to invite him.

Leng Lanzhi understood that it was because of Shen Lan'er's affairs, so he tidied up a little and went to Crescent Garden.

When she arrived, Pingnan Marquis and Shen Yizhi had already returned, and the whole family was surrounding Shen Laner.

The eldest aunt of the Shen family was crying so hard that she cursed at the same time: "This bastard, I've been married to him for so many years, I've given him children, taken care of the housework, and taken care of everything inside and out. Neat!

I, the Marquis of Pingnan, am a second-class marquis, and his father is only a third-class magistrate of the state. If it hadn’t been for the secret help of my Marquis of Pingnan over the years, would their family have been able to stay in Jinzhou for so many years? He didn’t want to be grateful. How dare you be extramarital!

Fair wife? Fortunately he can think of it!"

Officials of the Sheng Kingdom were reviewed once every three years. If their political performance met the standards, they could be promoted; if they had no merits and demerits, they would be retained for review; if their political performance was not enough or there were major mistakes in the place under their jurisdiction during their term of office, they would be demoted. At worst, he may be dismissed or lose his life...

In a place like Jinzhou where there is plenty of oil and water, I don’t know how many people are trying to get in.

At that time, I knew that the reason why Zhou Mu was able to win this lucrative position was not because of his brilliant political achievements, but because he had a cousin who was a concubine in the palace.

However, it didn't take long for the concubine Fang to be demoted because she made a mistake. She fell out of favor and no such person was found.

Without the help from the palace, the Fang family would naturally live in trepidation, walking on thin ice.

Until later, she caught up with Pingnanhou Mansion, and then met Leng Lanzhi, the Jialuo Princess, through Pingnanhou Mansion.

However, Shen Laner subconsciously did not take her princess sister-in-law seriously, nor did she think that her father-in-law was able to secure the position of Jinzhou Zhizhou Mu because of her princess sister-in-law. In her words, she gave all the credit to Pingnan Houfu. .

Leng Lanzhi listened quietly, without any disturbance in his heart.

"Princess, you are here just in time." Seeing Leng Lanzhi's arrival, Zhao ordered angrily: "The Fang family has gone too far, please let the emperor punish them!"

Leng Lanzhi raised his eyebrows.

This matter-of-fact tone made Leng Lanzhi laugh: "Mother-in-law, from what standpoint do I think I should take charge of this matter?"

Even the emperor couldn't easily interfere in the family affairs of his courtiers, let alone her?

"What's your attitude?"

When Shen Lan'er saw the smile on Leng Lanzhi's face, she was so angry that she forgot to cry: "Are you laughing at me? Why are you laughing at me?"

Leng Lanzhi stopped smiling and his expression became lighter.

If you think about it carefully, everyone in Pingnanhou Mansion's respect for her is superficial, and Shen Lan'er doesn't even bother to do anything superficial.

In her previous life...she was really blinded by love.

Shen Lan'er indeed looked down on Leng Lanzhi from the bottom of her heart.

Her impression of Leng Lanzhi was still before she got married.

At that time, Leng Lanzhi was a lover who liked to chase after her brother. Although she was wearing the most luxurious dress and rare jewelry in the world, she did not have the airs of a princess.

For some unknown reason, Shen Laner always placed herself in a higher position when facing this princess.

You admire my brother, right?

Then you must be good to my sister!

Otherwise, I will never let my brother marry you!

But at that time, Leng Lanzhi actually felt... it made sense.

So, she condoned Shen Laner's disrespect again and again.

With her acquiescence, Shen Lan'er's attitude became more and more excessive.

Snapped!

A cup of tea cup hit Shen Lan'er's feet. There was no tea in the tea cup. The flying fragments were scattered in all directions, and many of them hit Shen Lan'er's skirt.

Leng Lanzhi withdrew his hand expressionlessly and looked at Shen Lan'er with cold eyes.
Chapter completed!
