Shen Yi stood up in embarrassment and gave a brief salute.

"General Zhou..."

After all, Zhou Xuanzhang was a man who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. When he stopped smiling, there was a cold murderous aura around him, and everyone in the room suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Zhili lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Xuanzhang, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. Although she used to humiliate Zhou Xuanzhang in the past, now she felt like someone was holding her throat and could only make a small sound.

"General Zhou is well..."

Zhou Xuanzhang looked at Jiang Zhili carefully, and Shen Yi was also looking at Jiang Qingxue. If Jiang Qingxue hadn't been standing next to Zhou Xuanzhang, their sleeves intertwined and their posture intimate, he might not have recognized her. .

It had only been a few months since we last saw her, and she seemed to be completely reborn, her whole body was elegant and fragrant, and only those twinkling phoenix eyes could still vaguely see some shadows of the past.

Zhou Xuanzhang glanced at Shen Yi out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little confused. Didn't Jiang Qingxue often go to Shen's house for banquets in the past? Why does Shen Yi still act like he has never seen a beauty before?

He grabbed Jiang Qingxue's shoulders and laughed.

"I thought it was some kind of stunning beauty, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. It seems that I really took advantage of it. I came to the right place today."

When Jiang Zhili heard this, she burst into tears.

"what……"

She didn't expect Zhou Xuanzhang to be so straightforward and humiliate her in front of everyone. His embarrassed face immediately turned red to the root of his neck, and he covered his face and ran out of the flower hall.

Shen Yi just had an excuse to leave, and he bowed his hands to everyone.

"Excuse me, Shen."

Then he hurriedly left the flower hall.

The third aunt, Mrs. Wang, had a happy look on her face, as if she was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. Jiang Zhongyao and Mrs. Zhao were so embarrassed that they had to make smiles beside them.

"Yes, yes, General Zhou and Qingxue stand together, they are a perfect match."

"How do you say that? If you don't belong to the same family, you don't belong to the same family. This is how marriage is. It seems to be a mistake, but it is actually a coincidence. This Yue Lao has already set everyone's red line. It's all done secretly."

Zhou Xuanzhang doesn't have an unreasonable temper, let alone embarrass the Jiang family. He is afraid that Jiang Qingxue will feel uncomfortable, so he gives up as soon as it's good.

He gently took Jiang Qingxue's hand.

"Madam, didn't you say you wanted to show me around Jiang Mansion? And the yard where you used to live, why don't you take me to see it too?"

Jiang Qingxue rarely showed off her power, so she naturally held his arm and smiled.

"My husband is really interested in it, but my yard is too dilapidated and cannot be compared with the Bamboo Garden of the General's Mansion. I'm afraid my husband won't be able to stand it."

The two of them said this, meaning they wanted to stay for lunch. Zhou Xuanzhang naturally wanted to get along with Shen Yi and Jiang Zhili, and Jiang Qingxue was happy to watch the show.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about the couple in the big house anymore, and went to the small kitchen in a hurry to arrange the lunch meal.

"Cheer up, everyone, we can't let anything go wrong again today."

Zhou Xuanzhang was willing to accompany Qingxue back home today, which was a great honor to the Jiang family, but he couldn't offend anyone anymore. Their third wife didn't want to be implicated innocently.

……

Jiang Qingxue took Zhou Xuanzhang for a stroll in the garden, and then went to Fuuyuan'er to take a nap. When she came out of Fuuyuan'er, she happened to see Xingyu standing outside the yard, walking around with an anxious look on her face.

"Miss, this slave was brought to the Shen family by them for some reason that day. It wasn't until he entered the bridal chamber that he discovered it was the second young lady. This slave deserves to die. He shouldn't have left the eldest lady at that time."

Jiang Qingxue also found out later that Xingyu was knocked unconscious by Xiao Fuzi and thrown into the next room. When she came out dazed, she was caught by the nuns again and followed Jiang Zhili's wedding sedan.

"It's not your fault. Are you going to stay in the Jiang family? Or follow Jiang Zhili? Or follow me to the Zhenguo General's Mansion?"

Xingyu tapped her toes happily.

"This slave wants to follow the eldest lady, that is..."

She glanced at Zhou Xuanzhang timidly, not daring to continue.

Jiang Qingxue smiled and patted her shoulder.

"You are my maid, so naturally I have the final say."

All the nuns in the General's Mansion are fine people. She prefers silly little maids like Xingyu. She can't do other complicated things, but she is definitely the best choice for keeping watch and guarding the door.

At this moment, the nanny from the third room came over to invite someone.

"Auntie, auntie, please follow me to the flower hall in the front yard."

Zhou Xuanzhang nodded slightly, still holding Jiang Qingxue's hand, and walked slowly side by side with her. The servants of the Jiang family were stunned to see that the eldest uncle really doted on the eldest aunt, but in this clear day, the two of them were so close. , it seems inappropriate no matter what.

Xingyu followed Jiang Qingxue, holding her head proudly.

When they arrived at the flower hall in the front yard, the servants were already setting up lunch. Jiang Zhongyao and Zhao were both there, but Shen Yi and Jiang Zhili were missing. They seemed to have left.

Jiang Qingxue asked knowingly.

"Hey, why aren't the second sister and the second brother-in-law here yet?"

Jiang Zhongyao laughed a few times.

"Someone from the Shen family came just now. They said there was something urgent in the house, so Yi'er and Li'er went back first."

Jiang Qingxue nodded with a half-smile.

"Uh, that's it."

During the banquet, Jiang Zhongyao frequently raised glasses to drink, and Mrs. Zhao frequently offered dishes. The two of them had a brother-in-law, and even Mrs. Wang couldn't stand the intimacy with them.

Zhou Xuanzhang also gave him face, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Jiang Qingxue was almost done eating and poured a glass of wine with a smile.

"Qingxue almost forgot, I also want to toast my second uncle and my second aunt. The betrothal gifts you returned were given to Qingxue by my mother-in-law. Qingxue took care of them for several hours yesterday. I have grown so big. , this is the first time I have seen so many good things..."

The people at the banquet all opened their mouths. So many betrothal gifts were given to a new daughter-in-law who had just entered the house? Did you give it to her? Or let her take care of it?

Zhao's eyes glowed green.

"I gave it all to you? How can a kid like you know how to take care of the house? Your mother-in-law is also very generous. You said you have so much money and you are not afraid..."

Jiang Zhongyao glared at her quickly and smoothed things over with a smile.

"Very good, very good. Qingxue is a blessed child. She must be filial to her parents-in-law in the future so that she can be worthy of their love."

Jiang Qingxue nodded respectfully.

"Thank you for your teachings, Uncle Second, Qingxue will remember it."

Someone once said that in the eyes of those snobby women, no matter how good a woman is, if she cannot get the love of the opposite sex, she will not get the respect of the same sex. It seems that the value of women has been closely related to men since ancient times.

Jiang Qingxue disdained this sentence, but she had to agree with it.

Now she not only gained the respect and favor of Zhou Xuanzhang, but also gained the attention of everyone in the general's mansion, so the people in Jiang's mansion had to look up to her.
