If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The next day, Fu Jinyuan, Shen Suian and his party came to the Ruan family.

Old Master Ruan and his entire family were waiting at the door.

"Mr. Prime Minister Shen, we parted when we were young, and I never thought we would have the fate to become relatives." Old Master Ruan held Old Master Shen's hand. The two old men of similar age couldn't help but sigh that time is merciless when they saw each other's gray hair.

Old Madam Ruan looked at Shen Sui'an with a smile on her face, and her heart was filled with love.

Although she had heard her daughter-in-law praise her, she would like her granddaughter-in-law even more if she saw her in person.

In the past, Prince Chen was just an unappreciated bastard in the Lu family. A family like the Shen family would never have married their eldest daughter to him unless it was an arranged marriage.

Shen Sui'an did not look down on Prince Chen's previous background, and was very affectionate to him. The two supported each other and treated each other as equals. This was a rare and precious relationship.

When her grandson did not have the care and love of his family, having a wife like Shen Suian who never left him was a kind of compensation from God.

The entire Ruan family was very touched by Shen Sui'an's loyalty and righteousness.

So, when the news came out that the Emperor was going to find another princess for Prince Chen, Old Master Ruan was so angry that he almost went straight to the palace to confront the Emperor.

No one can break up this young couple.

Fu Jinyuan took Shen Suian to introduce the elders of his family and accepted generous gifts.

Aunt Liang smiled and introduced the younger generation of the family to Shen Sui'an.

They are all Fu Jinyuan’s cousins.

Nguyen Xinglin has a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter Nguyen Chaoxia and the eldest son Nguyen Zhaoxi. Nguyen Yilang has two sons, four-year-old Nguyen Zhaoxuan and two-year-old Nguyen Zhaoguang.

Shen Sui'an took out the gifts he had prepared and gave them to them.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ruan Zhaoxia smiled brightly, "You are indeed as kind-hearted as the Crown Prince said."

"You are just naughty." Liang glared at her.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "My cousin is also shy."

Everyone in the Ruan family was here, except for my second aunt and her daughter.

Although no one mentioned it deliberately, a hint of sadness flashed in Mrs. Ruan's eyes when she introduced Ruan Yilang's two sons.

After they got to know each other, Old Master Ruan took his sons and Old Master Shen to the front yard.

Old Master Shen and Old Master Ruan hit it off immediately after meeting each other. They had a great conversation and talked about everything from poetry to the political situation in the country.

Madam Ruan was talking to Madam Shen.

Liang warmly entertained Jiang and praised Cheng Ge'er, "This child is really sturdy and looks very well-fed."

Cheng Ge'er seemed to understand that others were praising him, and he drooled and smiled foolishly at Liang.

"For my brother." Ruan Zhaoguang ran over and stuffed a wooden horse in his hand into Chengger's hand.

"Brother Guang is so well behaved." Liang said with a smile.

Ye stood aside and looked a little embarrassed. "It's just a child's toy. It's not worth much."

Four-year-old Ruan Zhaoxuan broke free from Ye's hand and said, "I'll teach you how to play. Riding a horse is fun."

"Come here quickly." Ye's face was red and she was at a loss, fearing that her two sons would accidentally hurt Cheng'er.

Shen Sui'an said, "Third aunt, it's okay. It's rare for Cheng'er to have his brothers accompany him."

Ye pursed her lips and forced a smile.

Compared to the eldest aunt's elegance and grace, this third aunt is indeed a little restrained.

It's quite different from my uncle's cheerful and free-spirited personality.

"Third sister-in-law, why don't you go to the kitchen to see how the preparations are going and ask the maids to serve them." Liang whispered to Ye.

Ye nodded and looked at the two children hesitantly.

Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be looking after the child, and the wet nurse is here too."

"Sister-in-law, let me go to the kitchen and take a look." Ye was relieved.

Her dowry was not much, and she was reluctant to give out the expensive gift, but a small gift would seem insincere enough. She was torn and embarrassed for the whole night.

I finally picked out a bracelet that was not too expensive and not too rude.

But just now, she saw the old lady and the eldest sister-in-law being so generous, which made her gift seem worthless. She felt like her heart was filled with bitterness again.

I wonder if the Third Master will blame her for being too petty.

It was becoming increasingly uncomfortable to be in this room.

Ye finally found an opportunity to go out and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang looked at her back helplessly.

Although she somewhat looked down upon Ye's behavior, Liang tried her best to understand her approach considering her family circumstances.

Princess Chen gave both of Ye's sons heavy gold necklaces, which were much more valuable than the bracelets she gave them.

"Mama, Mama." Chengger kicked his legs excitedly.

Xuan Ge'er and Guang Ge'er took sticks as wooden horses and started chasing each other in the house.

It made Cheng Ge'er laugh.

Shen Sui'an whispered, "Aunt, I want to go to the bathroom."

Ruan Zhaoxia stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go with my sister-in-law."

"Take good care of your sister-in-law." Liang reminded.

Ruan Zhaoxia responded crisply.

"Sister-in-law, are you still used to our royal capital? Is it any different from the capital?" Ruan Zhaoxia walked intimately to Shen Suian's side.

"Actually, there is not much difference, it's just that the wind and snow here are even stronger than in the capital." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"There are many fun places in the royal capital. If you feel bored, let me take you out to play. I will definitely make you feel that every place in the royal capital is great." Ruan Zhaoxia said.

Shen Sui'an agreed with a smile.

"Hey, isn't that my second uncle?" Ruan Zhaoxia frowned.

They looked up and saw Ruan Xiuyuan pushing his wheelchair and moving forward with difficulty in the garden, without even a servant to serve him.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go over and help my second uncle." Ruan Zhaoxia said immediately.

Shen Sui'an quickly pulled her back and said, "Second uncle is not alone."

It turned out that ten steps away from Ruan Xiuyuan, there was a beautiful woman following him not too far away, with heartache in her eyes.

"Is it my second aunt?" Shen Suian asked in a low voice.

Ruan Zhaoxia's eyes were slightly red, "No!"

"How could that woman feel sorry for my second uncle?" There was some hatred in her tone.

Realizing that her attitude was a bit sharp, Ruan Zhaoxia restrained her emotions.

"Sister-in-law, that is Tan Jiao, the female doctor that my second uncle saved at the border. She heard that my second aunt went back to her parents' home, so she came to take care of my second uncle."

"Second aunt..." Shen Suian hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask.

Ruan Zhaoxia lowered her voice, "I am a junior, so they didn't let me know when they talked about it. But I heard from Sister Rong that after Second Uncle was injured, Second Aunt just cried and wanted to go back to the capital city. Second Uncle's leg missed the chance to be cured."

"Second Aunt just dislikes Second Uncle because he can't walk now and can no longer be a general to earn her an imperial decree." Ruan Zhaoxia said gritting her teeth.

"I don't know if Second Uncle's injury has anything to do with Second Aunt."

Shen Sui'an hurriedly said, "Xia Jie'er, don't say anything without evidence."

"Sister-in-law, let's go back." Ruan Zhaoxia couldn't bear to watch any longer.
