After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 449 He lost

Shen Zhizheng looked at Song Yingxue, whose face had brightened again, and sighed softly.

After the important matters in the palace were settled, he invited himself to the estate.

General Xiang has gone to the Xiang residence, but he is not worried.

More than anything, they were worried about the Shen family in the village.

When he arrived at the manor, the formation was about to be broken.

Shen Zhiyong, who was originally guarding outside the city, led his troops to provide support, and that's how they managed to capture that group of people.

In the chaos, someone seized the opportunity to break in.

He recognized the woman; she was the woman the Western Regions Kingdom had given to the Xiang family.

Zhiyong led the Xiang family army to kill the woman, thus preventing the other formations in the manor from being broken.

A group of bandits sensed something was wrong, and he led his men in pursuit.

The Crown Prince has ordered that all those on the Emperor's side be eliminated in this palace coup.

Now is the time when the Crown Prince needs capable people. Although he is not a military general and his skills are average, he still has to do what needs to be done.

When he returned, he went to find Song Yingxue.

He knew that it was thanks to her that the Shen family was safe and sound.

To my surprise, I saw her hugging her sister and crying.

A strange feeling arose in his heart.

Heartache, sadness, unbearable pain...

This was the first time Song Yingxue had been looked at so directly by Shen Zhizheng, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Lord Shen, are you tired? Why don't you go get something to eat?"

As she spoke, she tried to run to the kitchen.

Shen Zhizheng probably saw through her intentions and stopped her.

"No need to rush, someone's in the kitchen."

"you……"

Seeing how persistent this person was, Song Yingxue had no choice but to tell Shen Zhizheng the truth.

Shen Zhizheng: "I'm sorry."

You have been wronged.

Shen Zhizheng didn't say anything more. He didn't think about why he was affected by Song Yingxue's emotions. He only knew that he wanted to make the woman in front of him happy.

Song Yingxue's expression darkened when she heard Shen Zhizheng apologize.

She explained, "Lord Shen, there's no need to be so formal. After all, I am Madam Xiang's nominal sworn sister, so it's only right that I do something for the Shen family."

"When I saw my sworn sister just now, I finally felt relieved and started crying like a coward."

She smiled softly, "I'm fine now, you don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, he went straight back to his room without waiting for Shen Zhizheng's reaction.

Shen Zhizheng was stunned for a moment. Why did he suddenly get angry?

After listening to this, Shen Jinyao and Shen Leyao began to lecture Shen Zhizheng.

Shen Leyao: "Big brother, you don't treat Yingxue as one of your own."

Shen Jinyao: "Big brother, can't you say something else? You need to care about Yingxue, instead of always asking why."

Shen Zhizheng: "Then what should I say?"

Shen Leyao: "Give her something delicious."

Shen Jinyao: "Give her something she likes."

Shen Tingyao, who was standing to the side, shook her head as she listened to what the three of them were saying.

I can't even lie still anymore.

She's suffering from severe morning sickness, and with all the stress of the past two days, she's really exhausted.

The siblings originally planned to visit her, but as they talked, the conversation turned to Song Yingxue.

She became interested and had her maid help her lean against the cushions.

"Le Yao, you don't know anything, so don't give your older brother any advice."

"Jinyao, you haven't cleared things up with General Xiang yet, so don't cause trouble for your elder brother."

"Big brother, listen to me..."

Shen Leyao and Shen Jinyao were silenced by Shen Tingyao's words; Shen Tingyao was right.

Both of them have unresolved relationship problems.

It's best not to get involved.

However, Shen Jinyao still voiced her thoughts, "Big brother, what are your feelings for Yingxue?"

Shen Tingyao also looked over curiously.

When it comes to matters of the heart, those involved are often blinded by their own emotions. If her brother hasn't thought things through, she shouldn't speak recklessly.

Shen Zhizheng noticed that his three younger sisters were all staring at him.

Feeling a little embarrassed, he straightened his face and said, "What are you all saying? Miss Song has been kind to our family, isn't it only right that I care about her?"

"And you all, be more polite to Miss Song from now on."

After saying that, he glanced at his sisters' teasing looks, flicked his sleeves, and fled as if he were running away.

As Shen Zhizheng stepped out of the courtyard, he heard the laughter of his three younger sisters.

Shen Leyao: "Did you guys see that? Big Brother's ears are all red."

Shen Leyao: "I think we'll soon have a sister-in-law."

Shen Tingyao: "It's not that simple. Don't forget, Song Yingxue only wanted to stay with Big Brother at first..."

Shen Jinyao stopped Shen Tingyao from speaking.

"Let's not get involved in what's between the two of them."

Otherwise, if the person involved hears this, they might overthink it.

Shen Zhizheng's expression returned to normal. He also realized that Song Yingxue had approached him for a reason, and now she had successfully stayed in the Kingdom of Kyushu.

is not it……

Is it true that he is indispensable?

is not it……

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, so he ran to Song Yingxue's courtyard to confront her.

Reaching the courtyard gate, I realized I had no real standing.

Song Yingxue was always kind to him and stayed by his side. Even her desire to marry him was something she heard from others.

He glanced at the figure inside the house, then lingered at the courtyard gate for a while before leaving.

Xiang Hongxuan was awake at night.

He was served some porridge and some medicine.

At this moment, his face looked unwell, and there was still some stubbornness in his eyes.

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan and said, "Why don't we rest for two more days before setting off?"

Xiang Hongxuan shook his head firmly, "Let's set off now, we can't delay any longer."

He fainted from hunger because he hadn't eaten or drunk anything, and if word got out, he would be utterly humiliated.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was very weak.

Seeing his insistence, Shen Jinyao relented.

She asked Zhixin and Doctor Gao, and they said that Xiang Hongxuan's condition was caused by a sudden surge of anger, coupled with not eating or drinking for days, which led to his body being unable to cope.

Fortunately, he was in good health, and after resting for two days and taking a few doses of medicine, he was fine.

"Will Zhixin see your injury?"

Shen Jinyao: "You still have the nerve to worry about me? I'm fine. But you, collapsing suddenly was a bit scary."

Xiang Hongxuan lowered his eyes, rubbing his fingers together, and said casually, "I'm very healthy. I've never been sick from being exposed to the wind and sun. It's just that these past few days..."

I was so worried about you.

Shen Jinyao smiled, finally understanding the reason for Xiang Hongxuan's persistence.

It would indeed be a disgrace to a general to suddenly faint after not eating or drinking for several days.

Hearing the sounds of tidying up outside, Xiang Hongxuan suddenly said, "After we go back, we need to stay at the Shen residence first. There are still many things to deal with in the palace, and I estimate we'll be busy for a while."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Jinyao and said, "After I'm done with my work, will you tell me the answer?"

Shen Jinyao nodded.

"it is good."

Xiang Hongxuan's lips twitched slightly, and he looked down at the teacup in the water.

That's good, at least they didn't refuse.

After this experience, he finally understood that he had lost to Shen Jinyao.

He lost to the young woman he once looked down upon, he lost to his wife who was rightfully his.

His emotions and thoughts followed hers; he was just pretending to be calm.

Since we can't live without it, then we must get it!

Not long after, everyone on the estate moved to the Shen residence.

Soon, the imperial edict announcing the crown prince's ascension to the throne was issued, and the retired emperor took a leave of absence due to illness.

The Shen family became even busier as a result.
