Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

After a moment of reminiscence, Shen Yunzhou seemed to have made a major decision. He said to me solemnly, "Don't tell anyone about Xingye anymore. From now on, you are her and she is you, the only Shen Xingye in the world. No matter what, as your brother, I will protect you, even if..."

He did not continue talking after that, probably because he heard something from my aunt and believed that I was living a hard life in the Zhenbei Palace. She was completely on the same side as me and would definitely support my divorce from Situ Jue.

Even though the Shen family will still suffer on the surface, and perhaps some news unfavorable to the daughter of the Shen family will be spread, but Shen Yunzhou's protective expression really moved me, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart to my original body who is no longer there, look, you still have so many relatives in the world who truly care about you.

Afterwards, I had planned to stay at the Shen family for a few more days like on vacation, but I didn't expect Situ Jue to send the palace's housekeeper to urge me to go back.

The butler said that the prince had official duties these days and was busy every day, so he couldn't come to pick me up in person. Father Shen accepted this perfunctory explanation and immediately urged me to go back to the palace.

My aunt was a little worried and reluctant to let me go, but she had no reason to force me to stay.

I understand her thoughts. My aunt learned about my physical condition from the doctor and tried her best to ask for a prescription to help me adjust. But she was afraid that this matter would cause a big stir and make people in the palace know about it, which would have a bad impact on me. In addition, she is only my aunt after all, not my biological mother. If she wants to do more for me, it may cause Shen's father to be suspicious.

Before leaving, she held my hand several times and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, she recommended the female doctor who treated me to me and asked me to visit her pharmacy when I have time.

To reassure my aunt, I agreed immediately.

Shen Yunzhou made a special trip to take me back to the palace, and we rode in the same carriage on the way.

When they were almost at the palace, he suddenly asked, "Your dowry shops are all engaged in brocade business, right?"

"Yeah." The original body's maternal grandfather's family was once a famous brocade weaving family in Cangnan Prefecture. These dowries were originally left to her by the original body's mother. Nowadays, brocade from Cangnan Prefecture is popular in the capital, and the business has been good, so Zhao Ma's family has been fed too much wealth.

"Check the accounts when you go back, keep the largest one, and switch to other businesses in the remaining stores as soon as possible. After the New Year, the brocade business in Beijing will be difficult." Shen Yunzhou did not explain the reason, but I could hear some clues. He should know some market trends, the so-called insider information, so he revealed it to me in advance.

I nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing that I believed in his words, Shen Yunzhou's expression relaxed, "Do you believe everything I said? Aren't you afraid that I am lying to you and spreading the wrong news?"

"Of course I believe you. If you believe me, I will believe you too."

Shen Yunzhou was very satisfied, but suddenly changed the subject, "If Ru'er was as well-behaved as you, I would have less worries."

I smiled and said nothing. Brother, you don’t know, Shen Ru has been saying bad things about you behind your back. You two siblings are both a cause of trouble for each other.

Soon the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. After I got off, Shen Yunzhou stood by the carriage and watched me enter before leaving.

When I returned to Suxin Pavilion, I found that Situ Jue's things had been packed up. The servants who stayed in the yard said that the prince had asked people to move all his things back to Zhuquan Courtyard two days ago. I said "oh", but I was very happy in my heart. Finally, no one was occupying my big bed anymore.

It seems like we've returned to the state where he doesn't come to me and I don't bother him, which is pretty good for me.

At the same time, he arranged for people to settle the business of several shops, leaving only the largest cloth shop. After discussing with several shopkeepers, the rest of the shops were converted into restaurants and wine shops. Most of the cloth in stock of the other shops was sent to the palace. Some was used for personal use and distributed to servants as rewards, and some precious materials were kept as New Year gifts. Anyway, the palace had to go out to buy.

In order to open up this avenue of self-sales, I also specially gave gifts to several maids in charge of the Concubine Dowager.

Everything went according to plan in an orderly manner, and then I was called over by the Toffee and given a private lecture.

There were several exquisite wooden boxes on the table, filled with valuable gold, silver and jade ornaments. They were bribes I gave to those old employees. I was caught red-handed by the big boss and felt a little embarrassed.

"It's a good thing that you know how to win people's hearts, but you are a little impatient. Right now, you should not be focusing on here. Tell me, how many days has it been since Jue'er visited you?" The concubine asked slowly, and I remained silent.

"I originally thought you were a sensible person. I spoke harshly to you last time because I was in a hurry. I ask myself, as your mother-in-law, I have not treated you harshly since you got married. The only thing I ask is that you and Jue'er can love each other, and that I can have a grandson as soon as possible and continue the Situ family's incense..."

This brought us back to the starting point. I lowered my head, not daring to act rashly. I could only act submissive and listen quietly to the lecture.

Logically speaking, Situ Jue and I have already made a three-year agreement, so I should still do some face-saving work. As long as he doesn't go too far, I'm willing to cooperate.

After all, not everyone can understand my situation. Some will cry for me like my aunt, while others will think I have other intentions and deliberately make trouble for them like the concubine. After listening to the scolding, the concubine finally let me stand up. If Xueyan hadn't come to help me, I would have almost been unable to stand up from the floor.

After exchanging glances with Xueyan, I asked her to deliver a larger and more exquisite box for me. "In fact, your daughter-in-law also prepared a gift for your mother early in the morning, but she couldn't find a matching ornament at the moment, so she didn't deliver it in time, which caused your mother to misunderstand."

Of course, I am not stupid enough to only prepare gifts for the maids in charge. I must have prepared gifts for the Concubine Dowager in advance. I gave gifts to the people around her first to test the Concubine Dowager's attitude. After all, she is the real mistress of this palace. I certainly don't think that I can bribe the old man who has been with her for more than 20 years by giving such a small gift.

Seeing that I was sincere in admitting my mistake and that the gift I chose was what he liked, the tone of the second half of the conversation softened significantly.

Originally, the Concubine Dowager was not a difficult person to get along with. She was just more concerned about her own son. So the key issue now was that if I wanted to spend three years in the palace smoothly, I still had to coax Situ Jue.

There is no problem in trying to please the big boss, but it also depends on how much it costs me. It is impossible to put myself in his shoes.

After returning to Suxin Pavilion, I saw Wen Qiao letting two fat rabbits out for exercise in the yard. She was in a bad mood and wanted to have a rabbit hotpot to cheer herself up.
