Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

0"Hahaha …" Hearing Shen Jingli explain the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Yue'er couldn't help but burst out laughing.    

    

How could those two children be so cute?    

    

Chang Lai who was seated at the side had a brilliant change in expression. He looked at Huaixin in a daze, as if his own brother had been tricked by someone.    

    

Feeling his brother's gaze, Huaixin turned around and smiled at Chang Zai, revealing shallow dimples.    

    

Looking at Huaixin's happy expression, the worries in his heart suddenly disappeared. As long as his brother was happy, even if they were to marry children, it would not be a big problem, not to mention it was just a joke.    

    

Shen Yue'er laughed for a long time before stopping. He held onto his stomach that was hurting a little, and asked Shen Jingli: "Fourth Brother, is Teacher Li still in his mansion?"    

    

"It's at the Shang Shu Academy." Shen Jingli raised his teacup and took a sip, then said: "I've told Teacher Li about your plans to learn from him. Furthermore, I've also asked Steward Wang to come to the residence three times a month, to specifically lecture you on the ways of doing business."    

    

Hearing that, Shen Yue'er's eyes lit up, and immediately thanked Shen Jingli: Thank you, Fourth Brother.    

    

"Alright, hurry up and bring people to class. Be careful not to get slapped by Teacher Li." Shen Jingli said.    

    

Hearing that, Shen Yue'er turned his head to look at the sky outside and hurriedly urged Chang Zai to leave.    

    

He frequently looked at Huaixin who was playing on the carpet and was unable to move his feet. Ever since Shen Yue'er bought him the time he spent with his younger brother had become less and less.    

    

"Big brother." Huaixin called out to him. He was young, and did not understand the thoughts he had, but he knew that he had to busy himself with it. He quickly ran into the house and brought out a box of pastries.    

    

Seeing that Huaixin was sensible, Chang Lai rubbed his head and laughed: "Eat it yourself. Brother does not like to eat snacks."    

    

Huaixin immediately believed it when he heard it, and put away the pastries with a face full of satisfaction. He hugged his leg, and rubbed it against his leg, "Then come back earlier tonight, I'll leave my chicken leg for you to eat."    

    

From Huaixin's words, he knew that he was doing very well by Xun Er's side. Chang Lai's mouth curved into a smile, and turned to bow to Shen Jingli and Mu Chen, saying, "Thank you, master."    

    

Shen Jingli nodded his head as if nothing had happened, accepting his thanks.    

    

Outside the door, Shen Yue'er urged him again. Chang Lai said "I'm going" to Huaixin and ran out in a hurry.    

    

Huaixin carried the box of pastries, and upon seeing Chang Lai leave, he suddenly became a little sad, and the golden beans started to fall down.    

    

Ever since he was born, he had always taken care of her. The two of them were like two babies, rarely separated. Although they could meet everyday, they rarely spent time together.    

    

Seeing Huaixin crying so bitterly, he was at a loss of what to do. He could only use his sleeves to help him wipe his tears away, and said with a childish voice: "Don't cry, Huaixin, don't cry."    

    

After crying for a while, Huaixin was tired and fell asleep while leaning on Xun Er's body. Seeing the two of them like this, Shen Jingli asked the wet nurse and Jin Yu to bring the two of them to their afternoon nap.    

    

When everyone had left, only Shen Jingli and Mu Chen were left in the house. Mu Chen sat on the soft couch and picked up the legendary novel that Shen Jingli had been reading previously.    

    

Shen Jingli saw a hint of tiredness in his brows, so he walked over and sat behind him. He helped pat his shoulders and softly asked: "What have you been busy with recently? "Why are you so tired?"    

    

"His Highness is investigating the southern salt fields and asked me to advise you." Mu Chen pointed to his left shoulder, "Let's use a bit more force over here."    

    

"Business is important, and you can't ignore your body." Shen Jingli said in concern as he pressed down on him with a little more force.    

    

Hearing the displeasure in his voice, Mu Chen smiled, and extended his hand to hold Li Chang Zai's hand: "Don't worry, I know what to do."    

    

"As long as you really know." Shen Jingli said snappily.    

    

Sensing the concern in his tone, Mu Chen was elated and leaned against him.    

    

— —    

    

Early morning of the second day, Yang Ningxin paid a visit to the County Prince's Mansion again.    

    

As Shen Jingli and Mu Chen were eating breakfast, they heard her voice from afar. Shen Jingli immediately smiled and said, "This little girl is really energetic."    

    

Mu Chen peeled an egg for Shen Jingli and frowned, a look of disdain flashed past his eyes: "She's too noisy."    

    

"Don't say that in front of her. She'll be angry." Shen Jingli picked up the egg and started to eat it.    

    

As they spoke, Yang Ningxin had already entered the room. Seeing her cousin eating breakfast, her eyes actually lit up, and touched her flat stomach, as she said grievingly: "Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten my fill in the morning."    

    

"Then go home and eat." Previously, when he was busy, he did not notice that Yang Ningxin had the time to stay at home and accompany his wife and children. Only then did he realise how diligent Yang Ningxin was as she seized Shen Jingli's place for several hours every time she came, causing him to not even have a chance to get close to the young master.    

    

For such a big person to not even have a hint of a look, he deserved to be despised.    

    

"Then I …" Yang Ningxin, who was waiting for Shen Jingli to open his mouth and invite him to come over to have a feast, was scared by his words and stopped in his tracks. Could it be that she was hallucinating?    

    

"Cousin, did you say something just now?" She must have heard wrongly. How could her cousin dislike her?    

    

Mu Chen glanced at her, his eyes filled with disdain. Yang Ningxin took a step back after taking such a heavy blow, her face full of disbelief.    

    

"Ningxin, ignore him. Come over and eat together with us." Shen Jingli glared at Mu Chen who was helping him with the food, and thought that it was funny, he never thought that he would have such a childish side.    

    

Yang Ningxin hesitated for a while before sitting down, but she did not dare sit next to Mu Chen, instead, she sat next to him.    

    

Jin Yu gave her a bowl of congee and she picked it up and buried her head inside it to drink, not daring to even glance at Mu Chen.    

    

A breakfast make her fidgety    

    

"..."    

    

"Sister-in-law, why do I feel like cousin hates me so much?" After following Shen Jingli to the side hall, the moment Yang Ningxin sat down, she immediately asked about the doubts in her heart.    

    

Hearing her question, Jin Yu burst out laughing, and explained: "Master is unhappy that Miss Biao has taken up his time with Madam."    

    

Hearing that, Yang Ningxin realised, she had already said she had not offended her cousin before, how could she be looked down upon, it turns out … Yang Ningxin covered her face, she felt that she was really stupid, people could understand things just by looking, how could she not understand? She deserved it.    

    

Shen Jingli sat at the side drinking his tea and felt that it was very mysterious. How could her expression change so many times in an instant?    

    

"Why have you come here today?" Shen Jingli said.    

    

When Yang Ningxin thought about her purpose for coming here today, she immediately smiled mysteriously. With a glance, she definitely found out some interesting gossip.    

    

Seeing her like this, Shen Jingli laughed helplessly.    

0

    

"Sister-in-law, guess?" She was deliberately keeping people in suspense.    

    

Yang Ningxin's face was filled with a pleased smile, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Shen Jingli, with the words "Come quickly and ask me" written on her face.    

    

"Look at your smug face." Shen Jingli teased her, "Hurry up and say it, I'm not in the mood to guess."    

    

Yang Ningxin immediately grinned, revealing her white teeth, she said excitedly: "There is someone in Elder Sister Xiu that I like."    

    

This was a surprising piece of news.    

    

Although he was very happy that Yang Ningxiu was able to find someone she liked, but wasn't that speed too fast?    

    

On the day of the Spring Festival, they went to the temple fair together. Yang Ningxiu was still alone, and had no plans to remarry.    

    

"Who is it?" He was truly curious.    

    

"Thunder Clap." Yang Ningxin said an unfamiliar name.    

    

"Who is Lei Zhen?"    

    

"The head of the Zhen Yuan Escort Office." She had investigated before, ever since she realised that something was amiss with Yang Ningxiu, she had secretly sent people to follow him, and only now did she realise that she had interacted with Lei Zhen from the Zang Yuan Escort Office multiple times.    

    

Yang Ningxin took a sip of tea and continued: A few days ago, something happened at the Golden Gate Escort Office that was working with Elder Sister Xiu's Embroidery Workshop and was unwilling to help us carry more darts, and Elder Sister Xiu just happened to have a group of goods in her hand that were rushing out. They looked all around the escort office and said that no one was willing to take out the darts, so the Elder Sister Xiu had no choice but to go to the distant escort office.    

    

"Is there any problem with the Zhenyuan Escort Office?" From her tone, it sounded as if she couldn't find the escort company.    

    

"The Zhenyuan Escort Office has a bad reputation in the capital. I heard that their escort was very barbaric and often fought with people the moment they disagreed with each other. Moreover, the fee was very unreasonable, so many people were unwilling to take out their darts." Yang Ningxin told Shen Jingli the information she had gathered, "If Elder Sister Xiu didn't have no other choice, she would definitely not go to the Zhen Yuan Escort Office."    

    

"Because I was anxious to get the goods, Elder Sister Xiu thought about it again and again before taking the initiative to go to the Zhenyuan Escort Office and ask for the darts …" Yang Ningxin paused for a moment, and then smiled mysteriously once again, "Do you know who she met there?"    

    

"Thunder Clap." Was there still a need to guess?    

    

Yang Ningxin's small face fell, she looked at Shen Jingli gloomily, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't take me for a fool?"    

    

If it was Lei Zhen, who needed to guess?    

    

"If it's not Lei Zhen, then who is it?" Shen Jingli thought about it, but there was no conclusion to it.    

    

"Lei Zixuan." Yang Ningxin announced the answer, "Do you still remember that brat who stole the bun?    

    

"He is Lei Zhen's son?" Shen Jingli suddenly thought of the day that he had met that person under the Marriage Tree that day … Could it be such a coincidence?    

    

"That's right." Yang Ningxin nodded.    

    

What a coincidence, could the marriage string really have that kind of magical power?    

    

drank a cup of tea and looked at Shen Jingli with bright and lively eyes. He said: "That little demon likes the Elder Sister Xiu, so he comes over to find the Elder Sister Xiu every day and sometimes stays in the residence."    

    

Those who didn't know better would think that he was Yang Ningxiu's own son.    

    

Shen Jingli pondered, then heard Yang Ningxin say: "Sister-in-law, do you want to go over to the Embroidery Workshop to take a look?"    

    

Yang Ningxin's eyes lit up, she obviously had some sort of plan.
