Shen Du is back.

Before the maid finished her words, Shen Du appeared in everyone's sight.

The timing couldn't be more precise.

Not long after the marriage, Shen Du left the capital. When she saw him again, Princess Huai'an's eyes suddenly turned red.

When Shen Du came into the room, the first person he saw was her, but he had to congratulate Old Master Yun on his birthday first.

He stepped forward and saluted, "I am late, I wish grandfather good fortune and a long life."

Old Master Yun stood up, patted Shen Du on the shoulder and said, "You must be exhausted from the journey back to Beijing. It's okay if you can't catch up."

Shen Du shook his head. "It rained heavily on the way, and I was delayed at the post station for two days. Fortunately, I didn't miss the birthday celebration for my grandfather."

He presented the birthday gift he had brought.

The painting he gave was also his own.

If he hadn't been afraid of getting the painting wet, he would have set off in the rain.

Madam Yun smiled and said, "I didn't expect Du'er to come back. The food is already on the table. Let's talk while we eat."

Then, Madam Yun said to Shen Du, "Everyone in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion has left, and only Princess Huai'an is left. But she is wronged."

Shen Du looked at Princess Huai'an and walked towards her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Princess Huai'an blushed, but what made her blush even more was Shen Du. Shen Du asked her in a low voice, "Did you miss me?"

Princess Huai'an's ears turned red.

Ignoring Shen Du, Princess Huai'an sat down next to Shen Wan, and Shen Du sat next to her.

They are all family members, eating and chatting, talking and laughing, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Old Master Yun felt that this birthday banquet was more to his liking and would make him happier than any of the previous big ones.

Normally, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan would leave after having lunch at the Yun family, but today it was Old Master Yun’s birthday, so they stayed for half an hour longer before saying goodbye.

Shen Du, Lu Cheng, Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan left the house together, and Yun Qi saw them off.

After leaving Liushuang Courtyard, Xie Jingyan asked Shen Du, "Did things go smoothly on this trip to the northwest?"

Shen Du said, "It went quite smoothly."

Shen Wan asked, "Why did you return to Beijing so late?"

Shen Du said, "Father was afraid that a war would break out at the border soon, so he wanted to train the cavalry as soon as possible. I stayed for a while to help him train the cavalry."

Shen Wan frowned.

There was no war at this time in the previous life.

However, she also knew that this life was very different from her previous life. Although she only affected people and events in Kyoto, it was possible that she could affect the wars in Xiliang and Da Chu.

My father has fought in wars all his life and is particularly sensitive to war. Moreover, with my father's position, it is impossible that Xiliang does not have his spies, so there must be some signs of war breaking out.

Shen Wan looked at Yun Qi, "What did I ask my cousin to do...?"

Yun Qi said, "How dare I not take my cousin's repeated instructions seriously?"

Not only is he concerned about it, he doesn't even feel at ease leaving it to his subordinates to do it, and keeps an eye on it himself.

The medicinal materials are already on the way to Beijing. In order to cope with the smallpox outbreak this cold winter, he has opened three medicine shops in recent days.

Two five-story farmhouses were needed to store the charcoal, and several mountains ten miles outside the capital were almost completely chopped down.

Shen Wan feels at ease knowing that her cousin is doing the job.

After the results of the autumn examination were announced, winter soon arrived, with blizzards and smallpox coming one after another. I hope I can get through these disasters safely in this life.

When they reached the gate, Shen Wan said to Xie Jingyan, "I'm going to Jinbao Pavilion in a while."

"According to your."

Yun Rui looked at Lu Cheng and said, "I want to go too."

How could Lu Cheng not agree when the role model was right beside him?

In a few days it will be the day when Xu Ji will marry Miss Tang San. Shen Wan is good friends with Tang Yinong, so she will definitely be given a dowry when she gets married.

On the way back to Prince Ling's Mansion, Shen Wan had to pass by Jinbao Pavilion, so she simply picked it up at Jinbao Pavilion and asked the maid to deliver it to her.

When they arrived at Jinbao Pavilion, Shen Wan and Yun Rui picked out jewelry, while Xie Jingyan and Lu Cheng sat down to drink tea.

However, the two of them made their selection very quickly. Shen Wan was feeling pregnant and felt a little tired after staying at the Yun family for half a day, so she only picked out some jewelry and had no intention of strolling around. Yun Rui had just been to Jinbao Pavilion two days ago, and she hadn't bought any new jewelry in the past two days, so there was nothing good to see.

After paying the bill, I left Jinbao Pavilion.

As it happened, when they came out, Xu Ji happened to pass by the door on horseback.

Seeing them, Xu Ji tightened the reins and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! I was on my way to Prince Ling's mansion to deliver the wedding invitations and I ran into them on the way."

He dismounted, fished out a large red wedding invitation with gold decoration from his bosom, and walked towards them.

Xu Ji handed the wedding invitation to Xie Jingyan, "Prince Ling, please do me the honor of coming to my Shangshu Mansion to drink a glass of wedding wine."

Xie Jingyan took the invitation and said, "I will definitely come."

Thinking that Xie Jingyan and Lu Cheng were shopping with Shen Wan and the others, Xu Ji did not disturb them and said goodbye to them. However, just as he was about to speak, a crisp voice came, "Cousin!"

It's my cousin's voice.

Xu Ji turned around and saw his cousin dressed as a man running towards them.

Her pretty face was full of surprise.

Du Chengan followed behind her.

Xu Ji frowned.

However, what made him frown even more was what happened next. His cousin walked past him, her cousin, and came to Xie Jingyan. She grabbed his arm in surprise and shouted, "Cousin?"

Xu Ji, "......???"

Xie Jingyan, "...???"

Shen Wan, "...???"

Lu Cheng and Du Cheng'an also had a look of confusion on their faces.

Isn’t this Xu Ji’s cousin?

How do I call Prince Ling cousin?

Xu Ji looked at his cousin Wang Qing'er and said with a strange expression, "Cousin, I am your cousin."

Wang Qing'er looked at Xie Jingyan and then at Xu Ji.

Many images flashed through her mind, and then her head began to hurt, and her face was distorted with pain.

Finally passed out.

Du Cheng'an quickly supported her.

Xu Ji asked, "What happened to my cousin?"

Du Cheng'an's heart was trembling with worry. He did not dare to hide anything about Wang Qing'er's misbehavior and said truthfully, "Just now on the street, she ran forward to avoid me. She did not notice that an old man with a load turned around and was hit on the back of her head by his load..."

He knew that the blow was not light, and he wanted to take her to see a doctor, but she refused. Who would have thought that the blow would be so serious that she could even mistake who her cousin was.

It was already difficult for me to marry her, and now my hope is even slimmer.

Seeing Du Cheng'an supporting his cousin, Xu Ji said, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Send my cousin home quickly and call a doctor for her!"

Du Cheng'an reacted and quickly picked up Wang Qing'er and took her away.

Xu Ji was worried, so he went to take a look too.

He climbed onto the horse and turned around, glancing at Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan didn't notice that Xu Ji was looking at him. His attention was always on the person Du Chengan was holding.

Although Wang Qing's daughters were dressed as boys, he could vaguely see his cousin's childhood appearance from that face, especially the eyebrows and eyes. She looked like his mother since she was young, and even more like her as she grew up.

In addition, she was seriously ill when she was young, lost her memory, and had to grow up disguised as a man.

Xie Jingyan couldn't help but think too much.

Could it be that the Minister of Justice not only saved his cousin, but also his cousin...
