Mrs. Li has also heard some rumors recently, saying that Song Heng was not a distant relative at all, but an old friend. It was also said that after the general's wife died, she acted like the general's wife in the general's mansion, taking care of everything. Not only did she have a close relationship with Song Heng, but she also acted like a stepmother in front of the two children, Song Ziling and Song Ziyu. Moreover, these rumors spread from the General's Mansion.
Because Shen Wan had a very good reputation when he was there, after hearing the rumors, people outside were scolding Song Heng and Wan'er, and felt unfair for Shen Wan. Many people were scolding Song Heng as a heartless man, and it was not a joke. Face. She felt very uncomfortable when she heard that. It was clear that her Wan'er was the real general's wife, but she was being scolded like this.
If Wan'er really gets married to Song Heng in the future, those rumors will be confirmed, and people outside will probably scold her even more fiercely.
So these days, she discussed with Wan'er's father. They announced that they had adopted Wan'er as their adopted daughter and took Wan'er out of the general's mansion first. When they get married in the future, others will think that Wan'er is someone they recognize. , and I won’t scold you anymore.
"Shen Wan" nodded and said, "Okay."
She has been having a hard time staying in the general's mansion recently. Although she is Song Heng's wife and the mother of Ziyu and Ziling, the people in this mansion don't know. They look at her as if she is Seeing that their wife was dead, she just wanted to seduce their general's high-ranking woman. She also heard someone scolding her behind her back for being shameless, and saying that she couldn't even compare to the deep and graceful toes, so she dared to dream of being the general's wife. .
It's really embarrassing for her to live in the General's Mansion with her current status, and it's easy for people to gossip. It's better to leave first, wait until they get married, and then move in openly.
Li discussed this matter with Song Heng again, and Song Heng also agreed very much.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Shen family had lunch at the General's Mansion and left the General's Mansion with "Shen Wan" in tow. People also spread the word that they had taken in Song Heng's distant house brought back from the north. The relative was an adopted daughter and she was brought back to the Shen family.
There are two speculations about the adoption of an adopted daughter. One is that the daughter of the second elder of the Shen family was too sad after his death, so he accepted Mu Na as his adopted daughter as a comfort. The second is that the second elder of the Shen family heard something from outside. He did not want Mu Na to stay in the General's Mansion anymore, so he took her away from the General's Mansion on the pretext of accepting her as his adopted daughter.
Mrs. Liu knew that "Shen Wan" had been taken away by the two elders of the Shen family. She knelt in front of the Guanyin statue she worshiped and said that the Bodhisattva had appeared. She believed that "Shen Wan" was taken away by the Shen family because she prayed to the Bodhisattva every day. effect.
Shen Wan spent the New Year with her son at an inn. Because they were not in a hurry and walked slowly, they still hadn't reached Jiangzhou City after walking for more than half a month. If they normally traveled by carriage, in fact, within ten days Then you can reach Jiangzhou Fucheng.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, they finally arrived in Jiangzhou City.
Jiangzhou is a land of plenty, the people live a prosperous life, and the city is as prosperous as the imperial city. Because it is still during the Chinese New Year, the New Year atmosphere in Jiangzhou City is strong, and every household is hung with red lanterns. The people on the street, although they are not Everyone was wearing silk clothes, but no patches were seen on the clothes. Of course, this may be because during the Chinese New Year, everyone wore new clothes.
Shen Wan and the others first found an inn to stay in, planning to have a good rest for two days before buying a house.
Qi Yan was tired from driving the carriage these days, so he didn't immediately go to see his uncle's son's brain, and planned to rest for two days before going.
