After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

After many years, I returned to the place where I grew up.

I don't know if her mentality has changed, but Shen Ruoyan always feels that she is out of tune with everything in the capital.

The close friends we had in the past have all gotten married, and since they haven't contacted each other for many years, they have become quite distant from each other, and they are no longer as close as they were when they were girls.

The Shangshu's Mansion and the General's Mansion are not far apart, but if a married daughter goes to her parents' house every day, she will definitely be gossiped about.

Little Lu Shibai was accompanied by a group of domestic servants who held him in high regard, so Shen Ruoyan didn't need to worry at all.

Closing the ledger, Shen Ruoyan sighed.

"Lu Yan, hasn't he come back yet?" Shen Ruoyan rubbed her temples, with a hint of exhaustion in her voice.

I have been doing nothing all day long, but for some reason I just feel so tired.

Qin'er noticed that Shen Ruoyan was in a bad state and advised: "I didn't hear the concierge say that the Lord is back, maybe he is still busy with official duties.

Madam, please go to bed first. "

Shen Ruoyan nodded, washed up, and went to bed alone to rest.

Maybe it was because the morning was too leisurely, and Shen Ruoyan slept very uneasily.

In a daze, I dreamed of many things from my previous life.

A moment later, after marrying into the general's mansion, he pretended to be calm during the day, but at night, he hid in bed and shed tears silently.

After a while, there was another scene of the family lying bruised and bruised in the dungeon.

Shen Ruoyan woke up suddenly.

Cold sweat broke out all over my back.

He touched the place next to him. The bed was cold, and it was obvious that Lu Yan hadn't come back yet.

Since returning to Beijing, Lu Yan has become extremely busy.

Everyone thought that this young man who was once highly regarded by the emperor must have faded away from the holy family that originally belonged to him after being away from the capital for so long.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Yan went to court for the first time after returning to Beijing, the emperor praised Lu Yan unstintingly in front of all the ministers for his ability to manage Yizhou in an orderly manner in just five years.

Especially in recent years, Yizhou has ranked first in Daning in taxes and tribute paid to the treasury every year.

The emperor was so pleased that he promoted Lu Yan on the spot.

When she heard that Lu Yan had become the left deputy governor of the Inspectorate, Shen Ruoyan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She remembered that in her previous life, before she died, she heard the fifth prince say that the emperor valued Lu Yan very much. His father valued him so much that he planned to let him go to the Inspectorate to be the censor.

Based on Lu Yan's qualifications, although the position of deputy governor and censor is still somewhat reluctant.

Why would the emperor easily grant such an important position to the young Lu Yan?

Shen Ruoyan always had a bad feeling.

Could it be that there is God's will in the dark?

Although she has to do it again, no matter how hard she struggles, everything will develop in the direction destined by fate?

That night, Lu Yan didn't return home all night.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

In Yizhou, Lu Yan is the backbone of everyone. No matter what happens, everyone always asks Lu Yan for his opinion. Sometimes when he is busy, Lu Yan will simply rest in the government office.

But every time at this time, Lu Yan would always send his servant back just to say a word, for fear that Shen Ruoyan would be worried.

It was the first time that he was so silent.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't sit still and asked the kitchen to stew some soup. She wanted to visit the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Before leaving home, I happened to meet my mother.

Mrs. Shen looked at the food box Qin'er was holding and asked with a smile: "Ayan, where are you going?"

Shen Ruoyan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and smiled a little shyly, "Mother, Lu Yan has been busy with official work recently, and my daughter wants to send him some food."

Mrs. Shen also heard the news about her son-in-law's promotion, and was extremely happy. However, seeing that Shen Ruoyan planned to go there in person, she took Shen Ruoyan's hand and led her into the house: "Xiaoyan must have been very hard when he first entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Ayan is interested.

But it would be nice to send a servant over for such a trivial matter. "

When the two of them reached the inner court, Mrs. Shen reminded her in a low voice: "Ayan, are you confused?

You are now the mistress of the General's Mansion, how can you run to Xiaoyan's office so easily?

If his colleagues see him, he who is open-minded will only tease you a few words about your deep love as a couple. If he meets someone who is gossipy, he may think of how he will arrange it for you. "

Shen Ruoyan's expression tightened.

After staying in Yizhou for a long time, she had ignored these worldly things.

His mother was right to remind him that Lu Yan had just entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and it was the time when he needed to show his strength the most. If he went there eagerly, he would inevitably not live up to his words.

If any rumors spread, it would be detrimental to Lu Yan's career.

Shen Ruoyan suddenly realized it very clearly.

This is the capital city, the place with the greatest concentration of power in Daning. You need to be cautious in everything, because if you are not careful, you will be caught.

I can no longer be as comfortable as I was in Yizhou.

Shen Ruoyan thought for a while and asked Qin'er to put the food box back in the kitchen.

Not disturbing him was the greatest support for Lu Yan.

"Mother, why did you come to see my daughter today?" Shen Ruoyan asked her mother as she walked in the courtyard.

Mrs. Shen remembered what she meant and patted her daughter's hand, "Ayan, in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. A moon-viewing banquet will be held in the palace. The Queen Mother has already told you to bring Guoguo with you. I wonder if you How are you preparing?"

After hearing her mother's reminder, Shen Ruoyan remembered this matter.

Since coming back, she has visited several families with whom she had close contacts, and then stayed in her house all day long, rejecting all invitations and never attending any public events.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't avoid this palace banquet.

For his first public appearance after returning to Beijing, he really should be well prepared.

Shen Ruoyan didn't have to worry about the outfits and clothes she would wear at the palace banquet. Chun Niang's business had become more and more prosperous in recent years, and she would send Shen Ruoyan several boxes of the latest clothing and jewelry of the season from time to time.

If my mother knew how huge her property was now, she would faint with fear.

only……

"Mother, do you have to bring Guoguo to this palace banquet?" Shen Ruoyan pursed her lips and worriedly asked the question in her heart.

When mentioning this matter, Mrs. Shen also looked worried.

He glanced at the little figure dancing a sword not far away.

Their Guoguo is doing well in everything, except that he is almost three years old and still can’t speak.

Oddly enough, Lu Shibai could understand what others said, and he would also laugh out loud when he was happy. This showed that there was nothing wrong with his mouth and ears, but for some reason, he just couldn't speak.

My family members have always comforted themselves by saying, "The noble person speaks late."

But at the palace banquet, when others knew that he couldn't speak, they would inevitably say something unpleasant.

What Shen Ruoyan is worried about is that if this hurts Lu Shibai's young heart and makes him even more reluctant to speak, what should he do?
