Ms. Li has also heard some rumors recently, saying that Song Heng was not a distant relative at all, but an old friend.
He also said that after the general's wife died, she would take care of everything in the general's mansion just like the general's wife.
Not only does she have a close relationship with Song Heng, but she also acts like a stepmother in front of their two children, Song Ziling and Song Ziyu.
Moreover, these rumors spread from the General's Mansion.
Because Shen Wan had a very good reputation at the time, when those outside heard the rumors, they all scolded Song Heng and Wan'er and felt unfair for Shen Wan.
Many people are calling Song Heng a heartless man and shameless.
She felt very uncomfortable when she heard that her Wan'er was obviously 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, and they announced that they had adopted Wan'er as their adopted daughter, and took Wan'er away from the general's mansion first.
When they get married in the future, others will think that Wan'er is someone they recognize, and they won't scold her 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 Zi Ling, the people in this manor don't know.
They looked at her as if she wanted to seduce their general's woman after seeing their wife die.
She also heard people scolding her for being shameless behind her back, and saying that she dared to dream of being a general's wife when she couldn't even match Shen Wan's toes.
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 and wait until they get married before moving in openly.
Li discussed this matter with Song Heng again, and Song Heng agreed very much.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Shen family had lunch at the General's Mansion, and then left the General's Mansion with "Shen Wan" in tow.
They also asked people to spread the word, saying that they had adopted Song Heng's distant relative brought back from the north as their adopted daughter, and also brought her back to the Shen family.
Outsiders have two speculations about the adoption of the adopted daughter.
One is that the daughter of the second elder of the Shen family passed away and was too sad, so she adopted Mu Na as her adopted daughter as a comfort.
The second is that the two elders of the Shen family heard the rumors outside and did not want Mu Na to stay in the General's Mansion anymore, so they took her away from the General's Mansion on the pretext of adopting her as their adopted daughter.
Mrs. Liu knew that "Shen Wan" had been taken away by the two elders of the Shen family. She knelt down in front of the Guanyin statue she enshrined and said that the Bodhisattva had appeared.
She believed that "Shen Wan" was taken away by the Shen family because she prayed to Bodhisattva every day.
Shen Wan spent the New Year with her son at an inn, because they were not in a hurry and walked slowly, so after walking for more than half a month, they still hadn't reached Jiangzhou City.
If you travel by carriage normally, you can actually reach Jiangzhou Fucheng within ten days.
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 the Chinese New Year period, the New Year atmosphere in Jiangzhou City is strong, and every household is hung with red lanterns.
Although not everyone on the street was wearing silk clothes, they did not see any patches on their 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, 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.
