Shen Yunyan snorted coldly and complained: "There is a saying that goes 'It's not right to bring up something else'. If my sister really cared about me, she wouldn't have asked me after I was injured."

Shen Li was having a headache, worried that Shen Yunyan's words might offend Shen Yiran. When she heard that she had brought the topic back to Shen Yiran, she immediately picked up the topic and said, "Your sister is also miserable. That Song Qizhao is a loser!"

Shen Yiran also sighed after hearing this: "It's hard to say. Marriage is a woman's fate. If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. There's nothing you can do about it!"

Shen Yunyan gritted her teeth, looked at Shen Liang, and sneered with tears in her eyes: "Yes, that's why this family needs to help each other. Sister is living such a good life now, she should also take care of the family."

Shen Li smiled and said, "Yes, you have been an orphan since you were a child. You have grown up in the Shen family. It has not been easy for everyone. Your father's current salary is really not enough to cover the expenses. You should help the family. We are all family!"

Even though it was said so bluntly, Shen Liang still sat there. It was obvious that face was not that important at the moment.

Shen Yiran sighed and said, "Stepmother and sister, please stop talking. I understand. Bai Zhi, bring me my purse."

When going out today, Shen Yiran packed some extra change into a bulging bag, just for use at this time.

"Take these here first."

As long as Shen Yiran can give, there will be a second time if there is a first time.

Shen Li was very happy that there was no quarrel and reached out to take it: "I have prepared a few more dishes today. Let's eat before leaving?"

Shen Yiran helped Bai Zhi stand up, smiled and shook his head: "I still have things to do, come back another day."

Shen Li ordered Shen Yunyan to send him out, and Shen Yunyan had no choice but to follow him to the door reluctantly.

Shen Yiran deliberately touched the gold necklace around his neck: "Remember your sister also wore one when she was a child? Your father also gave you a gold lock on your birthday."

Shen Yunyan sneered when she heard this: "Sister, you have a good memory. You still remember it after all these years."

Shen Yiran laughed and said, "Of course I remember. There are many things you had when we were children that I didn't have. Of course, there are some things that I really like, so I remember them."

As he spoke, he mentioned the necklace and smiled: "In fact, it's just some childhood memories. Who knew that when I told the Marquis, he insisted on buying it for me. After wearing it, I realized that it's meaningless to be so heavy."

Shen Yunyan's sarcastic words slipped around for a while, and finally she just said sourly: "Since sister doesn't like it, you can just not wear it."

Shen Yiran smiled brightly: "But this was bought for me by the Marquis, I have to wear it for a few days at least."

Shen Yunyan watched Shen Yiran get on the carriage and spat from behind: "Humph, it's just something a man bought for you, what's so impressive about it!"

But precisely because it was bought by a man, she was actually even more jealous.

Standing at the door, she had lost her appetite when she thought about eating the few dishes she would have to eat when she got home, which were usually vegetarian. She raised her foot and waved for a carriage to follow her.

The bag of silver just now seemed like a lot, but in fact it might not even total fifty taels.

Shen Yiran, don't think you can just get rid of her with that little money!

She was going to visit the Marquis' Mansion and drag Shen Yiran's two sisters-in-law who looked difficult to deal with to complain to them. She would then embarrass Shen Yiran and see how she would get out of the Marquis' Mansion!

Shen Yunyan followed behind, thinking that Shen Yiran would go back home, but she turned along East Street, went around to the North City, got off the market, and stopped in front of a restaurant.

There was a seal on the door in front of the restaurant. Two officials were carrying paste and preparing to leave when they were stopped by Shen Yiran.

"I am the owner of this shop, why are you closing my shop?"

The two officials looked at Shen Yiran and for a moment they could not recognize whose family this lady was, so they just thought she was the wife of a wealthy businessman and looked quite arrogant.

"This is a government matter. Your store must have a problem to be closed. We are just following orders. As for what went wrong, don't ask us!"

Shen Yiran raised his lips when he heard this: "So you want me to go to your government office and ask in person?"

The two officials glanced at her and saw her wealth and splendor. They had some ideas in mind: "Of course, you can find your own way in the capital."

All the hints have been given, and we are just waiting for Shen Yiran to make arrangements.

There aren't many people on the street, so the bribe might not be seen. Besides, the two officials are leaning against each other tacitly at the moment, blocking the view of the road on the side. If you want to give money, just walk over and hand it over.

"I'm so sorry, I just went back to my parents' home and took the money back with me. This is really inconvenient."

When the two officials heard this, they looked quite indifferent and turned away.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Shen Yiran sighed and said, "Wait a moment, both of you. I'll ask the servants to notify them and ask their family members to bring it over, okay?"

The two officials thought for a moment and said, "This is a very serious matter. Go quickly. We can't wait long."

Shen Yiran raised the corner of his lips: "Of course, as soon as possible."

Shen Yiran borrowed two benches from the shop next door, gave them to the two of them to sit on, and then sat down himself, waiting calmly.

The two officials sat patiently at first, but became impatient after a while.

"Where is your home? We have work to do later and can't wait any longer!"

Shen Yiran immediately comforted them: "Don't worry, they should be here soon."

As he said this, he stood up and asked for a small jar of wine from the shop next door, and shared it between the two of them.

Bai Zhi found Bo Jinnian's yamen and handed in a message. Bo Jinnian immediately came out with his men.

"My Lord, the Madam is still waiting at the door of the store. Let's go over there quickly."

Bo Jinnian nodded and raised his hand, and the whole team of six set off together.

During this period, foreigners came to the capital, and the emperor ordered Bo Jinnian to temporarily manage the inspection work in Kyoto.

Bo Jinnian filled out the inspection log form and patrolled with his men.

"Really? It hasn't arrived yet? I'm getting hungry waiting!"

Drinking isn't enough for them, they want to eat meat too.

Shen Yiran was not dissatisfied and went to the shop next door to buy another pound of meat.

Shen Yunyan hid behind the doorpost of the shop opposite, watching coldly with contempt in his heart.

Shen Yiran is a marquis's wife after all, but she is so humble and fawning in front of these minions. She really brings disgrace to the Shen family!

Suddenly, they heard footsteps. The two officials, who were enjoying their meal and drink, looked up and saw the patrol team coming. They immediately stood up and tried to move the bench away.

Shen Yiran stopped him and said, "Ah, you are here. I am just giving you some money. Why did you come in person?"

The two officials couldn't swallow the wine in their mouths after hearing this. They were dumbfounded when they saw Shen Yiran walking in front of the team leader and joking.

That, that is not...

Bo Jinnian walked up coldly and asked, "Who wants money?"
