Hu Jinyu felt shy again, and at the same time, she felt even more angry. Why did Shen Lanxi always use this kind of tone...like an elder talking to a younger person? All the boys in the family actually listened carefully, and no one refuted.

"Yuan Xu has already told me, thanks to you for helping to arrange it. Studying at the White Deer Academy may seem inferior, but it is actually much better than the position my father and brother found for him. He has no academic achievements, so even if he goes to the Ministry of Rites, he won't be able to move up in the end."

Shen Lanxi looked at her seriously: "You almost became the Princess of Zhennan. Now you marry into our Shen family, especially marrying Yuan Xu. It's a move up for our Shen family and also for Yuan Xu."

Hu Jinyu's eyes deepened, and she had made up her mind. She spoke sincerely, "In fact, I have thought about it. Marrying into the Shen family and marrying Yuan Xu is much better than marrying the Prince of Zhennan."

Shen Lanxi listened quietly.

"I've heard people say before that men in the Shen family are not allowed to take concubines. As a woman, I don't have such great ambitions. I just want to have a harmonious marriage, smart and sensible children, and a harmonious family. I haven't even married the Prince of Zhennan yet, but his backyard is like that. It's completely contrary to what I expected."

Shen Lanxi nodded: "You are very insightful. Follow Yuan Xu carefully. I will not treat you unfairly."

After Hu Jinyu opened up to him, the smile on her face became more genuine and she spoke more naturally.

"When does your Excellency plan to arrange for Yuanxu to go there?"

Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Xu really likes reading. We can ask him to go to the academy to meet Mr. Ruohua in the name of a visit and listen to his arrangements."

Hu Jinyu: "Is it Mr. Ruohua who taught our family before?" I only heard that it was my uncle who invited him, but I didn't hear that he was also very familiar with Shen Lanxi?

"Yes, just meet Mr. Ruohua and follow his arrangements!"

Hu Jinyu had an idea in his mind, and immediately began to think about what kind of gift he should prepare when he went.

After the two separated, Shen Lanxi saw Shen Yuantang again. Judging from her direction, she should have just come out from her mother's place.

"Big sister~" Shen Yuantang's tone was unconsciously arrogant.

Shen Lanxi took a look at the things held by the two maids behind Shen Yuantang and understood that she had gone to her mother to ask for something. She must have received a lot of good things, so she was overdue.

"Were you also called here by grandma?" Shen Lanxi asked casually.

Shen Yuantang froze. Her grandmother had asked her to help the family. It was fine for her to help the family, but she couldn't help that bastard!

She would never forget how that bitch Zhang Zifen treated them during her exile. The stupid and cheap creatures she gave birth to were no good either.

"I have already talked to my grandmother. I am here specially waiting for my elder sister." Thinking of what happened in the Golden Palace today, my good mood was taken over by anger.

"Big sister, even if the prince has offended you before, it has been so long since the incident, you can't keep holding on to it!" The more Shen Yuantang looked at Shen Lanxi, the big sister, the more he disliked her.

Why didn't she mention anything about what she, as her younger sister, should think about?

Shen Lanxi's face darkened and she said coldly, "I have nothing to do with him any longer. There are always some people who are jealous of me and always dig up things from the past so that they can use them to belittle me and accuse me!"

Shen Yuantang's heart beat faster. Was her elder sister blaming her?

Isn't what she said true? Is there something wrong with it?

"Big sister, I am your biological sister. It would be fine if you didn't help me, but why do you always make things difficult for me?" Shen Yuantang's knees began to ache when he thought about going to the palace to see Concubine Shu tomorrow.

"I don't know when I have made things difficult for you. How about you tell me one by one so that I can refute you?" Anyway, Madam Shen hasn't shown up yet, so she was willing to teach her sister, who was born to the same mother.

Shen Yuantang's face suddenly twisted. She had already said this, and her elder sister still didn't want to admit it?

What kind of big sister is she!

"Today in the palace, the prince was about to come back. If it weren't for the elder sister mentioning Princess Yuxue, how could the prince continue to stay in Xishan?"

Shen Lanxi: "You also said that the order to let the Prince of Zhennan stay in Xishan in the palace must have been issued by His Majesty. Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty's order?"

Shen Yuantang's face turned pale immediately. She was talking about her, Shen Lanxi. Why was she talking about His Majesty?

In a few days, her mother also agreed to take her to the palace. When she gets familiar with His Majesty and his uncle, she will be the one His Majesty and his uncle will favor. Let's see if she dares to be so arrogant in the future.

"Big sister, don't always use His Majesty's uncle to pressure others. I am also your daughter, and His Majesty is also my uncle. How could I be dissatisfied with him?" Shen Yuantang's tone was unconsciously provocative.

Shen Lanxi sneered when she heard what she called him.

"Since you are so close to His Majesty, I believe you can ask His Majesty to revoke his order, and His Majesty will agree."

Shen Yuantang's smile froze and his eyes became confused.

"Big sister, I am your biological sister. I hope you will consider the blood relationship before making any decision in the future."

"Just after I got married to the prince, he was sent to Western Hills and had to stay there for such a long time. Do you know what the noble ladies in the capital said about me?" Shen Yuantang unconsciously became angry.

Shen Lanxi looked at her coldly: "Before, His Majesty sent Zhou Ru'an to suppress the bandits. Did you ask me to ask His Majesty to give him the task of suppressing the bandits?"

Shen Yuantang clenched his handkerchief and looked away.

Shen Lanxi: "Last time, His Majesty spoke with all his might, and you came to make trouble with me. This time, His Majesty spoke with all his might, and you still come to make trouble with me, Shen Yuantang, our family has only had a few days of good times, and you want to cause trouble for them?"

Shen Yuantang wanted to retort, but he couldn't find the words to refute.

Fortunately, the maid came to call them at this time, and Old Madam Shen got up despite her illness.

"You're all here!"

All the Shen family members, young and old, were there, even Mr. Shen, who no longer recognized people and whose legs and feet were beginning to have problems, was carried here.

"Mother, why are you bringing up father as well?" Shen Congwen frowned.

Madam Shen glared at her eldest son and said, "Of course, my words don't carry any weight as an old thing."

Shen Lanxi looked at her nose and her heart, sitting steadily.

"The princess and Yuan Xin are about to get married, and the engagement ceremony will begin. There is not even a tael of silver in the family account. If this marriage goes badly, Your Majesty will punish you, but it is impossible to punish only Yuan Xin."

"In the Shen family, we all prosper and suffer together. If the younger generation does not marry gloriously, it is all because of the carelessness of the elders in the family. It will be you who will lose face then." Old Lady Shen said this and drank three sips of water.

"I asked you to come here today because I want you to get together. All of you uncles, please help out!"

After saying this, Old Madam Shen glanced at Hu Jinyu, who stood obediently behind Shen Yuanxu, still unravelling the embroidery thread in her hands.

Shen Lanxi twitched her lips and looked away.
