In late spring and summer in Yangzhou, green willows are blowing smoke and flowers are blooming on the streets.
On the wide bluestone road, the crisp sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Shen Yuan, which has always exuded the elegance and elegance of a Jiangnan water town, today inexplicably gave people a feeling of turmoil.
Shen Xingwan was wearing a light green gauze skirt and a hosta of the same color on her hair. She was sitting in the carriage with no expression on her face. Banxia was extremely nervous.
Only Fu Jingchao felt more comfortable leaning in the carriage than anyone else, and even tried to lift the curtain to take a look at the settlement of the Shen clan.
Shen Xingwan glanced over, his eyes seemed to be hardened to ice, warning him not to mess around.
Fu Jingchao, "What are you nervous about?"
"I…"
With a "whoosh" sound, a sharp arrow flew from the sky and shot straight into the carriage with an indestructible momentum.
Shen Xingwan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he tightened his grip on the dagger in his wide and flowing sleeves before she could move.
Fu Jingchao, who was sitting aside, moved first, and the soft sword in his waist instantly met the sharp arrow. With a push of his arm, the arrow fell at Shen Xingwan's feet, and the soft sword in Fu Jingchao's hand also fell to the ground.
"Haha, it seems that a master has been dispatched. This force can easily penetrate a person's body."
"If I want you to die in front of the gate, this is a very powerful attack."
Shen Xingwan bent down and calmly picked up the arrow that fell at his feet, "Isn't this dead?"
"That's because I'm here and you owe me once." Fu Jingchao said bluntly.
Shen Xingwan didn't refute, but said calmly, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't die here."
He opened the curtain of the car window, raised his hand and threw the arrow out, making a crisp sound on the bluestone bridge.
Shen Guijiu stood by the window and looked at this scene, with a smile in her peach blossom eyes, "I have already said that she is very interesting, and she really lives up to expectations."
"She seems to be a ruthless character again. Shen Yuan will become more and more interesting in the future." A young man in Tsing Yi answered.
Everyone who stared at this carriage watched it enter the courtyard where Mrs. Shen lived through the gate and then gradually leave.
The streets have returned to their usual bustle.
Shen Xingwan got out of the car, looked up at the courtyard that people were flocking to, and squinted his eyes.
"Girl, please come with me, old slave." Aunt Zhou saluted her.
Shen Xingwan walked steadily step by step. Now that he has chosen to enter, he must keep moving forward and move to a higher place.
Don't look back, and don't linger.
"Would you like to visit the old lady first?" Shen Xingwan said. According to the rules, this is the way to go.
A smile appeared on Aunt Zhou's face, "The old lady has given me orders. It's hard work for the girl to travel all the way. Let's go eat first and have a rest before going to visit her."
Shen Xingwan nodded without saying anything.
Aunt Zhou took her to an exquisite courtyard, "This is where the girl will live from now on. If you have any dissatisfaction, just let the girl know."
"I've met the eldest lady!"
The maids and mothers in the courtyard all saluted Shen Xingwan.
"Everyone, get up." Shen Xingwan said softly, and continued walking inside without stopping.
Entering the main room, Qing Hong, who had followed her last time, saluted her excitedly. Nanny Zhou smiled and said, "I leave the girl to you. I am not feeling well at all, but you are the only one asking."
"Yes!" Qinghong responded.
Aunt Zhou stepped back, and Qinghong took Shen Xingwan to see the room and its layout, asking her if there was anything that needed to be modified, and asked her to prepare lunch.
Compared with last time, I am much calmer and handle things very competently.
After driving for a long time, Shen Xingwan was also hungry and had a good lunch.
"Miss, do you want to take a nap?" Qinghong asked thoughtfully.
"No, let's go and pay our respects to the old lady first." Shen Xingwan shook his head.
Qinghong hesitated and said, "The old lady has guests coming to visit."
Shen Xingwan lowered his head to drink tea and said nothing.
Qinghong lowered her head and said more respectfully, "It's Madam Hou. It would be better for Miss to pay her respects later."
Madam Hou, this is a bit unexpected!
Shen Xingwan was lowering his head in deep thought when a voice saying "I've seen Miss Xie" sounded in the courtyard outside.
Before Shen Xingwan could react, a bright and charming girl wearing a brocade skirt with rose, purple and peony patterns and a golden begonia walked in.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Shen Xingwan, "You are sister Xingwan, right?"
"Who is your sister?"
"I am Xie Jia Zhuohua."
Shen Xingwan, who had sorted out Jiangnan's relationship network during this period, instantly knew who the visitor was.
Xie Zhuohua was born in the Xie family representing the Qingliu clan in the south of the Yangtze River. She is the eldest daughter of this generation and is rumored to be the unofficial crown prince.
As her name suggests, she is graceful and noble. She is a representative figure of a noblewoman from a noble family. She is a noblewoman who has grown up in a noble family.
The most important thing is that she should be called Mrs. Shen's great-aunt.
"It turns out to be Sister Xie." Shen Xingwan smiled and stood up to say hello.
Xie Zhuohua looked at her blatantly, and saw that the girl in front of him was neither humble nor overbearing. She had a cool and noble air about her, and it was almost impossible to tell that she had grown up in the countryside.
"There is indeed a reason why grandma chose you."
Shen Xingwan smiled lightly and said, "Sister, please sit over here."
Then he ordered Banxia, "Serve tea for my sister."
Xie Zhuohua came over and took her hand directly, "I won't sit down anymore. I came here to say a few words to my sister."
"I invited Su Jingyi to be my guest."
"Sister, do you know Miss Su?" Shen Xingwan asked calmly. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this beautiful girl from heaven was an enemy or a friend.
Xie Huazhuo's beautiful eyes flashed, "If my sister is not alive to walk in today, then I will just invite Miss Su to enjoy the flowers."
Shen Xingwan said softly, "What now?"
Xie Huazhuo raised his dark eyebrows and said coldly, "It's our first time meeting you. I'm going to give my sister a meeting gift. I hope she likes it."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to tidy up Shen Xingwan's hair, "I also hope that my sister will not disappoint my great-aunt in the future."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Xingwan to say anything, he led the others and left.
Shen Xingwan looked at her back, his eyes growing brighter.
Qinghong had already led everyone away with a wink, and Fu Jingchao went back to his room to rest.
"Miss, what does this Miss Xie mean?" Banxia asked puzzledly, why didn't she quite understand.
Shen Xingwan smiled, showing an expectant look, "Ban Xia, study hard, today we will see the methods of a real noblewoman from a noble family."
Ban Xia opened her eyes wide, "Will Miss Xie teach her a lesson in person? But Su Jingyi is also a Miss Hou Mansion."
"So what." Shen Xingwan said softly, lowering his eyes.
The internal fights between wealthy and aristocratic families often involve invisible means.
What's more, compared to Xie Huazhuo, what does Su Jingyi mean?
Well, isn't Su Jingyi always proud of her identity? It is her honor to have Xie Huazhuo personally teach her a lesson today.
She will understand what it means to be a truly noble lady and what it means to truly use your power to overwhelm others.
I am afraid that it will be difficult to repay this favor in the future, but since Xie Huazhuo dares to give it, of course she dares to accept it!
