Lin Zhiyu quickly said dejectedly, "You are right."
A woman with amnesia is trapped alone in the inner courtyard of a deep house. A slight mistake may lead to death.
Lin Zhiyu quickly cleared up the expression on his face and said, "You can forget what happened today and just think that I am talking nonsense."
Shen Xingwan lowered his eyes. Lin Zhiyu probably knew her identity, but it was useless. They were both in an unsafe situation now.
When Bai Ling took the piano and brought it over, he found that the two were playing chess, and nothing was wrong.
Shen Xingwan gave her the piano and waited until dark before taking her back to his yard.
As soon as the front leg returned, Mrs. Zhou came in with a happy face.
She handed a stack of invitations to Shen Xingwan, "These are relatively powerful families in Xiling. Since you are back, you should attend more banquets like this."
This was to ask her to show up and make connections. Shen Xingwan took it and glanced at it briefly, "I'm not going."
She is in the limelight right now, and there are many people who hate her so much. Isn't going to a party like this just looking for death?
"Why don't you go?" Mrs. Zhou's voice suddenly became a few degrees colder.
Shen Xingwan showed a look of having no desires and demands, "I am devoted to Taoism and have no interest in such worldly things. And I have never participated in such a banquet, so I don't know what to do."
Mrs. Zhou said without giving up, "If you don't know how to do it, you can learn it slowly. Once you go there a few times, you will be able to do it."
"Then what if something happens to me at the banquet?" Shen Xingwan said unhappily, "Looking at those story books, isn't it true that you like to cause trouble the most at banquets?"
Mrs. Zhou fell into deep thought and felt that what she said made sense. How many people were looking at the position of Princess Regent.
"Then I won't go for now." She said with some pity.
After finally sending her away, Shen Xingwan yawned, "The Zhou family doesn't know my true identity, or else they would dare to let me show up like this?"
"When you were delivered to the Zhou family, they told them that you were the daughter of Qi Han's old friend..." Fat Meow recalled the situation at that time.
The Zhou family will recognize her because they assume that she has an unusual relationship with Qi Han and they want to rise to the top through her.
"What are you going to do now?" Fat Meow looked at her with a sad face.
If she cannot return to Daqi, will the mission be over in the end?
"Ideally, find a way to get the news out. If not, just let it go." Shen Xingwan said without any motivation.
Fat Meow jumped into her arms, "This is wrong of you, you have to work hard to get back to Daqi!"
Shen Xingwan took out a booklet and read it. Inside was a character relationship diagram that she compiled based on the questions about her past that Fat Meow asked about her.
After watching for a while, her eyes stopped on the name "Hua Yan", "You said the Hua family is a very famous wealthy businessman, right?"
Fat Meow nodded.
Shen Xingwan curled up his lips and said, "Whether it works or not depends on our luck this time."
Shen Xingwan took out one of the invitations from the pile of invitations left here by Mrs. Zhou, which was from the Shao family of Xiling, a wealthy country.
Merchants value profits more than noble families. In fact, business exchanges between countries are the most frequent.
A businessman with a large business usually has friends all over the world, a complicated network of relationships, and he doesn't reject anyone from the third-rate or the ninth-rate.
Since they are both famous and wealthy businessmen, it makes no sense that they have no interaction at all.
Moreover, her relationship with the Hua family should be very obscure, and Qi Han may not know it. She chose to start from this line, which is the least eye-catching and not easy to alert others.
So Shen Xingwan decided to try and see if he could find a way to contact the Hua family and let the news out.
Before she could take the initiative, Mrs. Zhou brought Shen Man to persuade her, "When you become a princess, such communication will be indispensable, so you must learn it now. I asked your fourth sister to accompany you. Don’t be afraid.”
Shen Man smiled tenderly on the side, "Actually, these banquets are not that scary. The ladies are all well-educated and easy to talk to."
Shen Xingwan turned over the invitation card in his hand and pulled out the Shao family's one and handed it to Mrs. Zhou, "Then let's try to join one."
Mrs. Zhou happily took the invitation and looked at it. She was not very satisfied, "What is the Shao family?"
Although the Shao family is rich, it is still not enough to be seen in the world, and it is far behind compared with a real aristocratic family.
"Is their family bad?" Shen Xingwan asked, pretending not to know anything.
"They are just businessmen. We are a Qingliu family. It would be bad to have too much contact with such families." Mrs. Zhou's words contained a bit of contempt.
Shen Xingwan showed an understanding expression, "Isn't this great? They probably don't dare to mess with me. I just went to practice my skills."
Mrs. Zhou was moved by her words. If she went to a banquet to report to a prestigious person, it would be bad if something went wrong.
But the Shao family is not as good as the Zhou family. The future regent princess is willing to show her favor, but it is too late for them to do so.
"That's all, then you can go to the Shao family's flower viewing party first to get used to it, and then you can attend other families' banquet later." Mrs. Zhou quickly relented.
"Fourth sister, please tell me about the situation of the Shao family, so that I don't go blind." Shen Xingwan took the initiative to speak.
Shen Man agreed and stayed to educate her about the situation of the Shao family.
As expected, it was pretty much what she expected. Shen Man said that the Shao family had friends all over the world and a very large network of interpersonal relationships.
"The host of this banquet, Mrs. Shao Si, is a well-rounded person and a good hand in the inner court." Shen Man told everything she knew.
Shen Xingwan listened carefully and said, "Thank you, Fourth Sister."
"Then I'll go back first, and we'll go together the next day."
Shen Man walked out of the yard and walked back slowly.
Hong'er, a confidant, softly felt sorry for her, "As soon as she comes back, she will put pressure on everyone."
Obviously, the fourth young lady of my family was the most favored girl in the Zhou family before, but now she has to rush to take care of the seventh young lady who suddenly appeared.
"Be careful!" Shen Man said sternly.
She slowly exhaled and lowered her voice, "Stop saying such things. Do you want to die if others hear you?"
"This slave is just aggrieved for you." Xiaohong said heartbrokenly.
Shen Man smiled and said, "I always feel that Seventh Sister is not simple, just wait and see."
Madam Zhou has been dazzled by power. She watched with cold eyes today. She, the seventh sister, only used a few words to get Madam Zhou to agree to her going to the Shao family. She always felt that it was not easy.
The most important thing was that she realized that the family members actually had a very subtle attitude towards this seventh sister who suddenly appeared.
Thinking about it now, from the time she came back to the time she was taken notice of by the regent, the whole thing was filled with subtle weirdness. This was the reason why she was willing to take the initiative to approach Shen Xingwan.
Shen Man clenched the handkerchief in her hand, she had to fight for her way to the top.
She is not willing to be reduced to a pawn in a family marriage. She is helpless to be born a woman, but she does not accept her fate.
