"What a coincidence, long time no see." Yan Yan waved his hand.
Shen Beizhu led Yan Yan into the courtyard and asked doubtfully, "Didn't we just meet yesterday? Where is your brother?"
Yan Yan pursed his lips.
The passage of time in the underworld is different from that in the earth. The few days she stayed in the underworld were probably just enough time for Shen Beizhu to tie her hair.
When the two of them passed by the back garden, Shen Beizhu suddenly stopped and pulled Yan Yan into a path.
Even if Shen Beizhu didn't say anything, Yan Yan knew why he was like this.
In the back garden, the voices of two women talking and laughing reached Yan Yan's ears, it was Shen Nanhua and Princess Jiamin.
"I'm not afraid of them, I just don't want to embarrass them." Yan Yan said firmly.
She is the majestic ghost king of the ten directions, but she still takes the narrow path because she is afraid of offending others.
"Yes, grandma." Shen Beizhu nodded to please, "I'm afraid something might happen to Princess Jiamin in my house."
On the way back to the courtyard, Yan Yan was thoughtful and asked, "Has the consort come to your house?"
"No, I sent the princess here yesterday and left."
"Leaved? Did you leave the imperial city?" Yan Yan asked keenly.
"The prince-in-law dare not leave the princess for too long." Shen Beizhu said, "It seems that he has gone to Wanxiang Mountain."
Vientiane Mountain...
Yan Yan murmured.
It's no wonder that she suspected the prince-in-law. The person in the capital who was related to Xu Niang was the prince-in-law. She didn't believe it if she said that this matter had nothing to do with the prince-in-law.
"Do you know the consort's family background?" Yan Yan asked.
Shen Beizhu stopped and stared at Yan Yan, "Why are you asking about the consort?"
There is already a conflict between Yan Yu and Princess Jiamin. If the consort adds more fuel to the fire, then their Prince Shen's Mansion will be closed.
"I don't think there's anything outstanding about the prince-in-law, so why was he chosen by the princess?" Yan Yan was confused, "Does he look like he's read two books?"
"Don't say that. The prince-in-law almost became the number one scholar at that time. He just saved the princess's life and that's why he became the prince-in-law."
"If he wins the first prize, he will be able to serve in the court, but if he becomes the consort, he will have no real power. Isn't he clear about this?" Yan Yan was puzzled.
"The prince-in-law did not want to be an official. It is said that he took part in the imperial examination because his family saved money to support his studies. He did not want to disappoint his family." Shen Beizhu ordered his servants to prepare food for Yan Yan. "Although Princess Jiamin often comes to the house, I went to see the second sister, but I am not familiar with the consort, and people in the capital have not heard of any young master befriending the consort. Except for seeing the princess off, he usually stays in the princess's mansion."
"Then this prince-in-law is qualified for his job." Yan Yan sarcastically said, "Where are his parents? What is his family background? I heard you say that he lives frugally so that he can study. Does your family come from the countryside?"
"That should be the case. It is said that both my parents are dead."
Listening to what Shen Beizhu said, Yan Yu felt more and more that this consort was Xu Niang's husband.
"What is he doing in Wanxiang Mountain?"
"It seems that the princess asked him to ask for the amulet."
Early the next morning.
As soon as Shen Beizhu sat up from the bed, Yan Yan barged into the bedroom before he even put on his clothes.
"Auntie, you are..." Shen Beizhu put on a robe helplessly.
"Is the consort back?"
Shen Beizhu looked serious, "Tell me the truth, are you attracted to the consort?"
"Really not, you are not better-looking, better-born, and a nicer person than that prince-in-law? I don't even like you, can you like that prince-in-law?"
Yan Yan was impatient with being teased by La Lang recently.
"Everyone has his own ambitions. I asked him a few questions and you just fell in love with him? You are a tomboy, how come you have things between men and women in your mind?"
Shen Beizhu felt very ashamed after being told by Yan Yu.
