Early in the morning, Shen Qingxu and Shen Qiuchi set off for the Shen family's old house.

After following the clan leader to the ancestral hall in the old house to worship his mother, the clan leader reported to Shen Qiuchi on the Shen family's situation in the past six months, and discussed the matter of letting Shen Qingxu return to his ancestral home.

Shen Qingxu saw her sister and the clan leader talking in the lobby and she couldn't get a word in, so she carefully looked around the ancestral hall of this century-old house.

She sat on a chair on one side of the lobby and felt the air pressure around her was a little low. She was a little scared. She didn't know whether she was uneasy because she was not Shen Qingxu or she was not used to the simple and heavy environment inside.

Shen Qingxu looked devoutly at the pile of ancestral tablets on the altar. She didn't mean to occupy the body. She would go back when the story was over. She would not use Shen Qingxu's body to do bad things. Don't blame me, ancestors, don't blame me. Soon her heart calmed down.

After a long time, Shen Qingxu got up and wanted to go out and walk around the old house.

When the clan leader saw that Shen Qiuchi agreed, he sent a young girl to accompany him.

The girl had clear and bright eyes and an elegant and refined temperament. She smiled and said, "Sister Qingxu, I am Shen Qingqing from the fourth room. I will take you around."

"Sister Qingqing, let's go!"

Shen Qingqing led Shen Qingxu out of the ancestral hall.

The fourth branch of the Shen family is also the one that has the best relationship with Shen Qiuchi. They are now helping to manage Shen Qiuchi's many businesses in the Shen family.

The two men, followed by a group of servants, began to stroll in the old house of the Shen family. Although the scenery of the early years was no longer there, the scenery still revealed a deep and ancient sense of history.

After Shen Qingxu walked around the Shen family's large garden, she visited the houses of several branches of the Shen family. Although everyone was not overly enthusiastic towards her, they were all polite.

The few of them walked around the small garden again. In addition to introducing to Shen Qingxu the origins of many buildings and flowers in the Shen family's old house, Shen Qingqing also told Shen Qingxu many things about the Shen family, allowing Shen Qingxu to understand the general situation of the Shen family.

Although the Shen family is among the five major families, it is already the last one, with ten smaller families catching up behind it. If it were not for the Queen and Minister of Works Shen Qinghe supporting the Shen family, the Shen family would have fallen long ago.

Therefore, the Shen family attaches great importance to the education of the younger generation. Regardless of gender, all children must enter the family school for education. Once they have a certain foundation, the Shen family will send them to Ruian Academy for assessment. Only those with assessment scores above the prefecture level can enjoy the educational resources provided by the family for free.

Back then, Shen Qiuchi had a bloody fight in the backyard, and it took the dispatch of many clan elders to quell the turmoil that almost destroyed the Shen family. Under the various promises and guarantees of the clan elders, Shen Qiuchi stopped and did not pull the Shen family off the altar of the five major families.

It is not known how the conflict between Shen Qiuchi and the main branch of the Shen family was resolved in the end, but after cleaning up the Shen family's backyard, Shen Qiuchi gradually entered the court with his almost enchanting wisdom and outstanding abilities. The Shen family, which had already declined, was also considered middle-class with the help of Shen Qiuchi and some young and promising children.

Shen Qingxu had read the storybook and knew the story of Shen Qiuchi's revenge, as well as some things about the Shen family. But now she had become a character in the book. Listening to Shen Qingqing talking about the past of the Shen family and looking at Shen Qingqing, who had died in a foreign land in the original storybook, now standing alive in front of her, she felt deeply moved. Fortunately, she was still alive.

Recalling the plot in the book, the death of Shen's mother and the revenge of being framed and wrongly married should have been borne by the culprit. The other members of the Shen family were just careless and neglected Shen Qingxu, and were all avenged by the vengeful Shen Qiuchi.

What Shen Qingxu didn't know was that in the original book, her death was the reason why Shen Qiuchi went crazy and overthrew the Shen family.

At that time, everyone in the Shen family discovered that the wet nurse had evil intentions, but they still let her take Shen Qingxu away, believing that the wet nurse would not dare to attack her master. In the end, Shen Qingxu was killed by the wet nurse. Shen Qiuchi went completely crazy when he saw that the sister whose life his mother had exchanged for was dead, and therefore hated everyone in the Shen family.

In this life, because Shen Qingxu came into the book at the time when Shen Qingxu died, the people who were supposed to die did not die, and Shen Qingxu's hatred value was not full, so except for a few people who harmed her mother and her, she did not suppress other members of the Shen family too much.

Shen Qingqing and Shen Qingxu were chatting all the way as they took a detour back to the clan leader's compound.

Passing by an open bluestone road, there was a solid wall on one side of the road. Shen Qingxu was a little curious about why this large courtyard had such an impenetrable wall, as if it was isolating something.

Shen Qingxu followed the bluestone path and entered the archway at the corner of the wall. Unexpectedly, behind the archway was a spacious square courtyard with several tall bamboos swaying in the wind. When he entered the courtyard, there was a long corridor divided into three parts.

The long corridor was full of wisteria flowers, the scene was beautiful, "Sister Qingqing, it's so beautiful here, can we go in?"

"Sister Qingxu, this is your home, you can go wherever you want."

"This..." As they got closer, they seemed to hear someone talking inside. Shen Qingxu looked at Shen Qingqing and asked suspiciously, "Sister Qingqing, whose house is this? It sounds like there's a quarrel."

"They were quarreling!"

"That's too harsh to hear. It sounds like an insult. Let's just go."

"It's okay, it's just a turn, don't worry about it, sister Qingxu, there are just some clowns in there."

Shen Qingxu didn't ask any more questions and entered the courtyard that aroused her curiosity.

When I got closer, I felt that the courtyard was lifeless.

After walking through the corridor and entering the courtyard, there is a blue-gray brick and stone road in the middle. The stone road is not long and leads directly to the hall. The hall door has four dark red doors, and the two middle doors are slightly open.

If I hadn't come around this corridor, I would only have heard the sound but wouldn't have been able to find the door.
