When she returned home on the third day, Shen Xingwan got up early, dressed luxuriously, and had her homecoming gifts prepared in advance.
The woman's return home on three days is a very important ceremony, and it is also the best place to experience whether the man's family takes the woman seriously.
Although everyone knew that the two had a good relationship, on this day, the nobles of the Yannan family were still waiting to see how much status the princess held in the heart of the prince.
After breakfast, the two of them walked out of the palace gate side by side. Fu Jingchao personally helped her into the carriage, while he led the way on horseback.
Banxia and Qinghong both had smiles on their faces, "The prince is so kind to the princess."
Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "You have to be this good all the time to be really good."
She went to bed early last night. Shen Xingwan was in good spirits today. They chatted and laughed and quickly arrived at the Shen Mansion.
The front door of Shen's house was wide open, and Shen Mochen and the housekeeper's four young ladies each came with people to greet them at the door.
As soon as Shen Xingwan got out of the car, the fourth young lady smiled and came up to hold her hand, "My sister is finally back. The old lady has been thinking about her for a long time."
Fu Jingchao was taken away by Shen Mochen and went to talk to the elder.
Shen Xingwan and the fourth young lady went to the old lady's yard.
Shen Xingwan saluted and served tea to her, "Old madam, my granddaughter is back."
The old lady helped her up and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she looked very good, she said happily, "As long as she is doing well."
Most of the mistresses of the Shen Mansion were there, and they were chatting with each other, which was very lively.
At noon, the married girls also came back.
Banquets were held in the front yard and back yard of Shen's house at the same time, with male guests in the front yard and female guests in the back yard.
The eldest lady was in a good mood, "I am satisfied to see that you are living well."
In the past two years, she has been devoted to the mountains and rivers, and has slowly come out of her hatred. Her mood has become much more peaceful, and she has become much happier.
Shen Xingwan stood up and glanced at the entire audience. The Shen family was a very interesting place for her and became her safe haven when she was in the most difficult time.
She raised her glass, "I respect everyone."
Everything was said without saying anything, and everyone drank all the wine in their glasses.
Fu Jingchao in the front yard was in a miserable situation. Shen Mochen, Shen Anfeng and a group of boys from the Shen family took turns raping him.
"This is a toast to my brother-in-law."
"This is a toast to my brother-in-law..."
Even if you don't want to drink, you have to drink. It doesn't matter if you are a prince. After the meal, Fu Jingchao was helped back to the yard and fell asleep directly on Shen Xingwan's bed.
Shen Xingwan was only half drunk, so he drank a bowl of hangover soup and blew the wind for a while, so he quickly calmed down.
Banxia asked, "Does the prince need to wake him up?"
"Let him sleep."
Shen Xingwan changed his clothes and went to see the old lady alone. The old lady must have something to say in private.
Sure enough, the old lady was waiting for her. She seemed to be in low spirits and a little tired.
"Are you okay?" Shen Xingwan asked with concern.
The old lady said nonchalantly, "That's what happens when people get old. It's okay."
In fact, she is not that old, but she has suffered too much in her life, so she is older than her peers.
Shen Xingwan felt sour and a little sad. The most dazzling noblewoman in Shengjing was already old.
It is always sad for a beauty to grow old.
The old lady herself had looked away a long time ago. Her body had been hollowed out a long time ago. Now she was holding on for a breath just because she wanted to see the fate of her enemy with her own eyes.
"Shen Xingwan."
The old lady solemnly called her by name, her expression solemn.
Shen Xingwan said seriously, "I'm here, you tell me."
The old lady looked at her and said solemnly, "Today I will hand over the last part of my power to you. From now on, the fate of the Shen family is in your hands."
This is an exaggeration. Shen Anfeng and Shen Mochen of their generation are not weak, and Shen Qingran is also very powerful among girls.
It's just that the inheritance of the Shen family has depended on the holder of the family head order for many generations. In countless dangerous times, it has relied on the holder of the ANBU family order to turn the tables.
Shen Xingwan does bear a heavy responsibility, but she is willing to bear it.
She knows better than anyone that without the support of the Shen family, she would not be where she is now.
Naturally, the inheritance of the Shen family will not end with her. She promised, "I will protect the Shen family and this land."
"You will move to a higher position, and I believe you will do well." The old lady said.
When she brought her back, it was just a choice that weighed the pros and cons. The two gradually got along and developed a relationship, and Shen Xingwan also gave her many surprises.
Now, she can finally hand over everything with confidence and relieve herself of the burden.
"For details, I will send someone to explain it to you." The old lady said with relief.
Shen Xingwan walked out of the yard, the sun shone on her body, and she squinted her eyes. She believed that in the end, they would both get what they wanted.
Returning to his own yard, Shen Xingwan looked around the yard carefully. There were many beautiful memories hidden in every plant and tree.
Now she has the real feeling that she is married. From now on, this place will only be a place where she comes back to live occasionally.
Perhaps sensing her sadness, Banxia persuaded her, "If Miss is reluctant to leave, you can come back to stay for a while in the future."
"I just feel a little sad that time has passed so fast and I am already a woman."
When she first came here, she was just an eight-year-old girl. She remembered less and less about modern things, and the memories of her previous life were becoming blurry.
When she turned around, Fu Jingchao was looking at her not far away, leaning lazily against the pillar, his hair a bit messy.
Shen Xingwan smiled and asked, "Are you awake?"
Fu Jingchao came over and held her hand, "Can't bear to part with you?"
"Of course, this is my home."
Fu Jingchao raised his eyebrows, "The palace will be your home from now on, you can change it to what you like."
Fu Jingchao accompanied her around the yard again, listening to her carefully recalling interesting things from the past, and getting to know her better.
Although there was a lot of reluctance, the time was almost up and she had to leave.
According to the rules, you cannot return home after dinner, so the two of them left quickly.
Shen Mochen personally delivered them to the door, "I will go to the palace to speak to you tomorrow."
There was business to talk about. Today was the homecoming banquet after all, so everyone at the dinner table had a tacit understanding and did not mention business matters.
Shen Xingwan nodded, "Okay, I'll prepare good wine and wait."
Shen Xing got into the carriage at night, and Fu Jingchao followed suit. He drank and didn't want to ride.
"Brother and Zhuohua, I don't know how the situation is in Shengjing."
Fu Jingchao played with her hair, "Don't worry too much, the foundation of Zhennan Palace is still there."
As he spoke, his eyebrows became proud again, "If he knew that we were getting married, he would probably be very jealous."
Fu Siye is the elder brother, and according to the rules, he should get married first. Unfortunately, the emperor is not dead, and Xie Zhuohua cannot blatantly marry into the Fu family.
"Then you are also a younger brother." Shen Xingwan tried to discredit him.
