Chapter 397: The Tragedy of the Embroidery Shop (15)

After learning the reason for the incident, Shen Jinnian felt pity, but as an outsider at this time, he could only persuade her not to care about her cousin anymore.

Wu Yanyun felt that she was not that familiar with him, so she smiled and said nothing else.

After the two parted, Shen Jinnian's mind was full of Wu Yanyun's voice and appearance. All his plans to find Zhou Kaitai and take back the family property disappeared at this moment.

"Ah Wei, she... is so charming..."

Ah Wei: “Ah?”

"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you." Shen Jinnian shook his head in disgust.

Shen House.

In the afternoon, Heshan was enjoying his life happily when the doorman came to report that his cousin had arrived.

There was only one cousin who came at this time, the one who conspired to kill the original owner's niece, Xu Aizhen.

"Bring her in."

"Yes"

Soon, a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old came up. She was dressed beautifully, had a quiet temperament, and a decent smile on her face.

On the surface, he does seem to be a good kid.

"Aunt!" she called out in a coquettish voice, very happy.

Heshan nodded slightly, "It's Aizhen, why are you here?"

Xu Aizhen thought of something, her face slightly red, and continued: "I haven't seen aunt for a long time. I came to see you specially. My father also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

Say hello? The king glanced at the box behind her. He knew without thinking that it must be filled with her own things, just like in her original life. So, is it appropriate to come to her house empty-handed to say hello?

That's outrageous!

She coughed lightly and deliberately asked, "Are you here alone?"

Xu Aizhen thought that this was out of concern for her, so she stepped forward and sat down without asking, saying with a sweet smile: "Don't worry, aunt, I brought a girl with me. She came here with a merchant, and she is very safe."

"That's right. You travel so lightly and without any money, so naturally no one will take you seriously."

"..." Xu Aizhen hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes, auntie really loves to joke."

She had already noticed Heshan's coldness towards her and was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what had displeased her. She could only try to please him in a stammering way, but Heshan was a heartless man and was not moved at all.

It was not until the evening that Heshan returned to her room after dinner. She was tired after a day's work and wanted to rest, but suddenly found that she had not been assigned a room.

Xu Aizhen's face flushed instantly and she stood in front of the door feeling very uncomfortable.

The little girl brought was named Xiaotao, and she cleverly ran to ask the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion.

The new housekeeper was a shrewd man. He saw from the beginning that the old lady disliked this cousin. He did not dare to make any arrangements on his own and went to inform Shen Jinyu.

"You said the old lady doesn't like Miss Cousin?"

Shen Jinyu put down the work in her hands and hurried back. When she heard what the housekeeper said at the door, she thought for a moment.

"I'm going to go meet someone first. Please clean up the house on the west and north side and let my cousin live there."

The area over there is a little bit remote, so you won’t always hang around the main courtyard.

Just as Xiao Tao was angrily complaining to Xu Aizhen, she heard that the eldest lady had arrived.

Xu Aizhen had been studying in Southeast Asia before. After returning, she met Shen Jinnian once in the provincial capital. She had a deep love for him ever since, so she asked her parents for help and came here just for him.

Before coming here, she asked her parents about the Shen family and found out that the only cousin in the Shen family was already married.

At that moment, the "young lady" came, she must be my cousin returning to her parents' home.

Thinking that she would marry into the Shen family and become her cousin's sister-in-law, Xu Aizhen felt that she should be kinder.

"Cousin, long time no see," Shen Jinyu greeted the other party openly.

Xu Aizhen smiled and said, "Long time no see, my cousin has grown up so much."

The two of them talked about the past, and Shen Jinyu said politely: "It's getting late. The mansion has prepared the guest house. Cousin, go and rest first. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

"Okay, I'll go first then."

Xu Aizhen replied, nodded, and left with Xiaotao and the servants. After she walked out of the living room, she couldn't help but look back.

Just now, my cousin acted like the host of the house and I didn’t even have time to ask about my cousin’s situation.
