Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 232: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 29

Shen Guli was able to make colored glaze and was willing to present the secret manual of making colored glaze to him, saying that it was a return gift for his gift to Zhuangzi.

This gift is really big.

Did she know that once the fact that she had special skills was exposed, she would become the second Shen Hongshan? Given her current situation, her fate might be even worse than Shen Hongshan's.

Since ancient times, no one who stood on the road to succession had a merciful heart.

A soft-hearted person would never go down that path.

Shen Guli, an unmarried woman, went out to do business alone and had some success. She was able to accurately analyze the current situation of the Shen family with just a few words, so she was definitely not a slow thinker.

At least he caught her determination not to take sides from her slightly revealed emotions, so why did she completely expose the matter of Liuli in front of him?

I'm afraid he can only answer this question after Shen Guli comes back.

Li Xuanzhi called the housekeeper again, "Go and ask someone to find out why Miss Shen was in such a hurry to leave Beijing? Also, ask what Miss Shen has been doing in the manor in the suburbs these days?"

For the first question, the housekeeper needs to send someone to investigate, but for the second question, he can answer it now.

After all, Miss Shen's farm in the suburbs was a gift from the prince, and most of the servants in the farm had not been replaced, so he also learned some news.

Housekeeper: "Miss Shen sent someone to find a group of old craftsmen a few days ago, mainly veterans of kiln firing and ceramics. Miss Shen also cut down a small piece of red maple forest on the back mountain, built a circle of nondescript houses, and then fired kilns inside-----"

The people from the manor were retained and changes to the manor were made without hiding from others, but everything about the newly built kiln was kept strictly confidential.

Li Xuanzhi became more and more convinced that Shen Guli was a person who did things with a purpose and was meticulous.

He became more and more curious about her.

Before the person sent by the housekeeper could bring back the news, Li Xuanzhi found out why Shen Guli was in such a hurry to go back after meeting Commander Zhu at the garrison.

"What is the origin of the person named Chen Bin?"

"Your Highness, the Chen family is just an ordinary family in the capital. Our grandmother is still alive and the family has not yet been divided. He has an uncle who is an eighth-rank official!"

Li Xuanzhi paused and turned to look at Commander Zhu, who was also frowning. "The Chen family's ancestral home is also Yonghe Prefecture. Chen Bin's father died of illness in his early years. The second branch of the family only has this bloodline to be raised by the old lady. The first branch of the family relied on Yue's family to find a position as a ceremonial official in the capital. Apart from this, there is no one else in the family who is an official!"

To be honest, considering Boss Shen's financial resources, it's a pity for her to marry someone of Chen Bin's status. Although Boss Shen's family background is not good, there are many families in Beijing who are officials but in urgent need of money to support themselves.

If you cannot be the mistress of the house, you can marry the second son or the concubine's son as your principal wife.

He knew of several similar cases in Beijing.

"Go check the relationship between the Chen family and the Shen family, how he got in touch with the Shen family, and the matter of the engagement letter!"

Commander Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect that the prince would care so much about Boss Shen, but he immediately agreed.

The guards sent by Li Xuanzhi rode at full speed for half a day and caught up with Shen Guli who was riding in a carriage. After explaining their purpose, Shen Guli asked them to change into the uniforms of the palace guards and join her team of household servants.

It seems that what she sent out worked!

However, Shen Guli doesn't want people to find out that her relationship with the Seventh Prince is so close yet. The sooner it is exposed, the more trouble it will cause.

Just develop slowly first.

She now only wants to sever ties with her stepfather and not get involved with anything else.

After several days of hard work, they finally arrived at the manor, which was close to the border of Yonghe Prefecture. Shen Guli wrapped her cloak tightly and got out of the carriage. The howling north wind made her face hurt.

The doorman who saw her first exclaimed and ran out to greet the young lady. Before Shen Guli reached her mother's yard, Shen Helin rushed over.

"Third sister, you're back? Did something happen in the capital?"

Shen Helin had a mature face despite his age, and looked like a replica of his elder brother. Shen Guli's fatigue from the long journey was slightly relieved.

She smiled and said, "Don't panic, brother. I just miss mother. You go and do your work first. I'll rest here for a while. We'll have dinner together later!"

"Okay, I'm in the workshop next door. If you need anything, please send someone to call me!"

When Mrs. Lin learned that her daughter had returned, she had already come to the yard.

"Mother!"

"Ali, you're back! You must be tired from the journey!"

"Mother, you've lost weight." Shen Guli supported Lin.

Lin's eyes turned red. This was what she wanted to say. Her daughter, who should have been pampered in her hands, was forced to start a business.

As a merchant's wife, she knew how harsh people were towards women doing business in public, but when she saw the dried noodles being shipped away from the workshop in an endless stream, she knew that her precious daughter was successful.

The hardships involved are unimaginable.

If Shen Guli knew what Lin was thinking, she would definitely laugh dryly. Thanks to the fact that she had found a golden thigh early on, she has been doing well since she went to the capital.

Even the golden thigh was replaced with a thicker one.

"Mother, I have something to tell you!" Shen Guli helped Lin into the house, "Let them all go down!"

When Mrs. Lin saw that Cherry and Grape had gone out, she also asked her personal nanny to go out and closed the door.

"Ali, what do you want to tell your mother?"

Shen Guli helped Lin sit down, poured a cup of tea and stuffed it into her hands, then sat down beside her, "Mother, my father promised me to a playboy named Chen Bin in the capital!"

Lin's hand holding the cup trembled, "Impossible, how come I don't know? Which Chen family?"

Shen Guli placed her hand on the back of Lin's hand, "Chen Bin came to my noodle shop to cause trouble, and said that my father had already sent my engagement letter!"

Lin's hands were shaking violently, and the tea spilled out, scalding Shen Guli and Lin's hands, but Lin didn't notice it at all. She stood up in shock, her voice changed, "No, your father wouldn't arrange a marriage for you so easily. You must have made a mistake. Your father is just angry with you for a while, and he still dotes on you very much."

Shen Guli frowned. She didn't expect that Lin would completely and absolutely stand on the side of her stepfather in this matter.

"That Chen Bin said his cousin's aunt is Zhou Yuxuan. Our cousin Xuan!"

"No, no. Your father won't do that." Hearing Zhou Yuxuan's name, Lin's pupils shrank slightly, but she still firmly believed that her husband, who had supported each other for more than ten years, would not marry their only daughter to anyone without even discussing it with her.

And promised it to a playboy.

How could the master push his daughter to Zhou Yuxuan's parents' home? It's impossible. There must be something wrong.
