Shen Qiaochen and others did not know how eager Li Chun was to read the Lin family's reply.
But it is very obvious that Li Chunhui deeply regrets his plan to hold Shen Qiaochen hostage tonight.
After all, he sent people to work hard all night, but all they got in the end was a futile effort.
Moreover, it also attracted the evil god Xiao Jue.
What's more, if he has the ability to predict the future, he can predict what is about to happen.
I'm afraid, Li Chun will regret what happened tonight even more...
…
Let's not mention for the moment how Li Chun will be tossing and turning this night in Zuo Xiang's mansion.
Tonight, there are cheering crowds everywhere in Beijing.
The same is true for Drunken River Moonlight.
Shen Qiaochen and others were on the second floor and could feel the growing noise outside.
The street downstairs was already blocked by people watching the excitement.
The float, which had already appeared in sight, was also moving extremely slowly.
The distance of just a few hundred meters actually took nearly a stick of incense.
Shen Qiaochen looked at the hourglass on the side. It was already the end of Xu Shi, and the float seemed to be still more than a hundred meters away from Zui Jiangyue.
She sat by the window and looked back at Shen Qiaoran who was chatting happily with Jiang Fengmian. Thinking of what happened just now, she couldn't help but sigh.
She knew that what Jiang Fengmian said just now was just a joke and did not mean any harm.
Even though she knew all this, she still couldn't suppress the hatred that suddenly surged in her heart.
Until now, she still couldn't completely control her emotions. This was not a good thing, she knew.
Just because I heard the words "hero saves beauty" from Jiang Fengmian's mouth.
This couldn't help but remind her of some not-so-good past events.
On the Shangsi Festival of the previous life, I missed the palace banquet because I fell into a water coma.
It was at that palace banquet that Bai Xiaonian's harp song came out and amazed everyone.
From then on, people said that the cousin of the General's Mansion was talented and a truly talented woman.
After the palace banquet, Bai Xiaonian persuaded her that now that she was recovering from a serious illness, it was time to make some new friends.
When she woke up, the palace banquet had long passed, and she knew nothing about it.
So Shen Qiaochen, under Bai Xiaonian's "persuasion", agreed to hold a banquet in the mansion, inviting ladies from all the famous families in the capital.
Seeing that Shen Qiaochen agreed, Bai Xiaonian said considerately at the time that Shen Qiao might feel strange to everyone since she had not been around the capital for a long time, so she might be able to help with the invitations to the banquet.
At that time, Shen Qiaochen only felt that this cousin was very considerate, but she never thought that this was the beginning of all nightmares.
Since the post was written by Bai Xiaonian, those who came were naturally her friends.
At the small banquet, Bai Xiaonian acted like a master, leading all the ladies to watch in the general's mansion.
In the end, they even brought everyone to Shen Qiaochen's Yilan Courtyard.
You know, as the only legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, Shen Qiaochen's yard was carefully decorated by her grandmother and mother from the time she was born.
Over the years, it has been remodeled and repaired from time to time.
Today's Yilan Courtyard, not to mention the general's mansion, can be regarded as one of the best in scale and sophistication among the mansions in the entire capital.
Therefore, on weekdays, except for the masters of Shen Mansion and the servants who were already serving in Yilan Courtyard, other people were not allowed to enter Yilan Courtyard at will.
Since the Bai mother and daughter entered the house, they often used the names of their aunt and cousin to enter and leave Shen Qiaochen's yard at will.
Shen Qiaochen originally thought that they were all relatives, so she didn't say anything.
But now, Bai Xiaonian actually brought in outsiders.
This made everyone in the Shen Mansion look at Bai Xiaonian strangely.
It happened that that day, Shen Qiaochen's two brothers were not at home, and even his grandmother, Mrs. Shen, went into the palace to visit the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine.
In other words, Shen Qiaochen is the only serious master left in the entire Shen family.
Seeing that an outsider had broken into Yilan Courtyard, the Jubai people around Shen Qiaochen all spoke, hoping that their girl could drive them out.
But Shen Qiaochen trusted Bai Xiaonian wholeheartedly at that time, and even though she was unhappy, she did not show it on the spot to embarrass Bai Xiaonian.
Therefore, even if Ju Bai and the others were angry at Bai Xiaonian's self-assertion, they could do nothing if their master did not speak.
After all, Bai's mother and daughter are related to their old lady and his wife, and they are just servants of the Shen family.
With Shen Qiaochen's "tacit consent", everyone entered Yilan Courtyard smoothly.
Under the leadership of Bai Xiaonian, everyone visited the lake and admired the flowers.
In the end, Bai Xiaonian even ordered people to take out all the calligraphy, paintings and classics collected by Shen Qiaochen for everyone to enjoy.
Throughout the whole day, all the ladies were lingering over the beautiful scenery in Yilan Courtyard, and they were full of praise for Bai Xiaonian's "arrangement".
But they all turned a blind eye to the real owner of Shen Mansion, Shen Qiaochen.
Even in Beijing, Shen Qiaochen rarely went out due to illness for many years.
But the Shen family is not an ordinary family.
Everyone knows the name of General Jianwei's Mansion, and her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family is not comparable to that of an ordinary lady.
They may not really know that what Bai Xiaonian did today was inappropriate.
But even so, the girls who came to the banquet, holding the Shen family's post, deliberately watched the Shen family's jokes.
After all, everyone in Beijing knows that General Shen and his wife have always been in love. Since their marriage, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Lin, has been the only one in General Shen's backyard.
The three sons and one daughter of the Shen family are all descended from the Lin family.
It can be said that the inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion is full of true relatives, and there is no such thing as the scandal in other mansions.
This makes it difficult for all the girls who have been dealing with aunts and brothers and sisters at home since childhood, how can they not feel jealous.
Coupled with Bai Xiaonian's guidance in front of them intentionally or unintentionally, it also led to everyone's disdain and ridicule towards the Shen family's legitimate daughter.
Human jealousy is very terrifying.
Especially this jealousy is towards a person who, in their hearts, is useless in other aspects except family background.
Therefore, the more they disdain Shen Qiaochen, the more jealous they become.
And these emotions became even more intense after seeing the carefully decorated Yilan Courtyard...
In the days that followed, Bai Xiaonian continued to invite ladies to the Shen Mansion from time to time.
And every time, they still ignored Shen Qiaochen's existence.
It was obvious that Shen Qiaochen was the master of the Shen Mansion, but everyone had always turned a blind eye to Bai Xiaonian's behavior of occupying the magpie's nest.
As if this was a matter of course, she, Shen Qiaochen, was the poor orphan living in the Shen Mansion.
