He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

To be honest, Shen Yian really likes Lu Yan.

He is good-looking, has a good temperament, and most importantly, he is very compatible with him. If Shen Qing had not been married, he would have tried his best to bring them together.

Seeing Lu Yan's expression stagnate, Shen Yian also felt that this move was a bit inappropriate, so he changed to another suggestion, "How about this, I will take you to meet my little daughter another day. If you two fall in love, our relationship can be closer."

The expression on Lu Yan's face became even weirder. He wanted to get closer to Shen Yian, but he never thought about becoming Shen Qing's brother-in-law!

Seeing that Shen Yian's thoughts were getting more and more outrageous, Lu Yan was afraid that he would become sworn brothers with him again and become brothers regardless of age difference. He quickly pulled the topic back, "Uncle Shen, let's discuss this later. Yangling Hou has been watching us for a while."

Shen Yian looked up, and sure enough, he saw Yangling Hou staring at his direction, with his expression constantly changing.

Shen Yian thought he had nothing to say, but in fact, it was Yangling Hou who thought Shen Yian and Lu Yan were talking bad about him.

Things were going further and further away from expectations. Shen Qing and Yun Xiaoxiao looked at each other and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

Yangling Hou obviously didn't want to argue with the two anymore, so he said "Let's start the meal" and took the lead in picking up his chopsticks.

He got up early in the morning, and the emperor extended the morning court because of the disaster in the southwest, so Yangling Hou had not had time to eat until now. In addition, after returning, he was very angry because of Shen Qing and others. Yangling Hou was now exhausted physically and mentally.

However, after eating a few bites, he heard the servant come again to report that Wang Gonggong from the palace had come.

Wang Huai, the emperor's personal eunuch, was highly valued by the emperor, and even the queen would not easily displease him.

Without caring about anything else, Yangling Hou hurriedly got up and walked quickly towards the main hall. The people behind him also got up and followed Yangling Hou's pace.

When Yangling Hou arrived at the main hall, Wang Gonggong had already drunk half a cup of tea.

Yangling Hou was a little nervous, "I wonder why Wang Gonggong came here today?"

Wang Huai's eyes swept across the large piece of festive red silk in the main hall, and he sighed softly, "My Lord, His Majesty summoned you to the palace, please go with me."

Yangling Hou's heart "stomped" instantly, and he thought he had guessed the emperor's intention to summon him.

Yangling Hou followed Wang Huai out of the main hall, took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Wang Huai's arms, and said in a low voice, "Please tell me, Wang Gonggong, why His Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

Wang Huai took the opportunity to put the silver note into his arms again, and then said helplessly, "My Lord is confused. His Majesty just said in the court a few days ago that the Lord favored his concubine, and fined his salary in front of all the ministers. How dare the Lord be so willful?"

Yangling Hou's heart was a little nervous. Shen, it was because of this matter...

Wang Huai was about to speak again when he saw Lu Yan and his party coming towards him. Wang Huai was a little surprised. After a moment, he said respectfully, "Marquis, Prince, why are you two also in Yangling Marquis's Mansion?"

Shen Yian smiled, "There is a happy event in Yangling Marquis's Mansion, I came to see it, and I met Prince Lu on the way, so we came together."

Wang Huai knew that these two people were obviously watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal. He bowed and said goodbye, and took Yangling Marquis into the palace.

The protagonists had left, so there was no need to continue the banquet. Shen Qing asked Chan Yi to choose a few dishes that had not been touched yet, and asked the small kitchen to make some more side dishes, and then took a few people back to Tinglan Courtyard.

Aunt Qiu took the two new concubines to her own courtyard and took some wine and food from the banquet, which was considered to be the end of today's banquet.

Madam Yanglinghou and Lin Xuefu looked at each other for a long time, and finally asked someone to bring a few dishes back to Qifutang. With Shen Qing around, she had no appetite.

Cuiming Pavilion, which was just bustling, suddenly became quiet. Qin Luan glanced at the place where Yanglinghou had just sat, and went straight back to Fuchuntang. Because she was pregnant, Yanglinghou also specially set up a small kitchen in Fuchuntang, fearing that she would be hungry and have no food in the middle of the night.

…

Tinglan Courtyard.

After Shen Qing took everyone to the side room, he went back to the inner room first. Lu Yan also temporarily left the side room on the pretext of going to the toilet. Only Shen Yian and Yun Xiaoxiao were left in the room.

Yun Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea for Shen Yian, who took it with a smile, "Is father-in-law in good health these years?"

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "He is still strong, but he is old and a little confused. He often mistakes me for my aunt."

Yun Yuan's early death is a pain that Mr. Yun can never let go of.

A touch of pain flashed in Shen Yian's eyes, "After all, I failed to take good care of her."

Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled. She had heard her grandfather and father talk about the past. "Uncle, don't blame yourself. Everyone in the Yun family knows about my aunt. It's all fate."

In the final analysis, the marriage between Yun Yuan and Shen Yian was forced by Yun Yuan. The Yun family was very pleased that Shen Yian could do this.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was getting heavier, Shen Yian casually changed the topic, "I heard that you haven't discussed marriage yet. Lu Yan is a good guy. I wonder what Xiaoxiao thinks?"

As soon as the voice fell, Yun Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Lu Yan and Shen Qing, who were walking back from outside and happened to meet at the door, were also stunned.

Shen Qing was a little puzzled. Why did Shen Yian act as a matchmaker for Lu Yan?

Lu Yan's mouth twitched. First it was Shen Qing's sister, and then it was Shen Qing's cousin. Why couldn't it be Shen Qing himself...

The two pushed the door open and walked in. The topic of random matchmaking was finally temporarily over.

Because he saw Yangling Hou being humiliated, Shen Yian was in a very good mood. He even pulled Lu Yan to have a few drinks. Seeing that Shen Qing and Yun Xiaoxiao were still wandering around, he wanted to pour a small cup for them, but was stopped by Lu Yan directly, "Uncle Shen, Miss Shen and Miss Yun are girls after all. They can't hold their liquor. Let me accompany you."

Lu Yan still remembers Shen Qing's drunken look clearly.

Shen Yian smiled, "It's okay. Qingqing and Xiaoxiao can drink a little. It won't be a problem if they drink less."

When Yun Yuan was still there, Yun Xiaoxiao would come to Shengjing every few years. Every time, she would drink with Shen Yian, and Shen Qing would also accompany them. Although her alcohol tolerance was average, she enjoyed herself.

Lu Yan was still a little scared, "Forget it, I'll accompany you today, and I will make sure Uncle Shen has a good time."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, Shen Yian gave up the idea of ​​letting Yun Xiaoxiao and Shen Qing drink together, and drank happily with Lu Yan.

Including the eldest son of Wu Liehou Mansion, Lu Yan is the second junior that Shen Yian likes very much.

Seeing that the two were in high spirits, Shen Qing and Yun Xiaoxiao got up and left the room.

Yun Xiaoxiao joked, "Did Lu Yan catch you drinking before?"

Lu Yan's obstruction just now was too obvious, and Yun Xiaoxiao guessed the inside story at once.

Thinking of certain scenes, Shen Qing's cheeks blushed slightly, and then nodded.

Glancing at the house behind her, Yun Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, "When did Lu Yan get so close to my uncle?"

Shen Qing was also surprised, "I'm also puzzled, I've never heard him mention it."

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled knowingly, "You haven't divorced yet, and he has already started to please his future father-in-law. Are you two doing this at the same time?"

Shen Qing: "..."

Just then, Chan Yi walked over from the gate of the courtyard and looked at Shen Qing, "Miss, a maid just came to report that the Marquis invited you to Qi Fu Hall."
