Chapter 420: Things are going well
Chaozong and Wanyun planned the selection for the imperial concubine first, and then invited Yuzhen to come and discuss it!
Shen Chaozong spoke bitterly, talking about the embarrassing situation and expressing his feelings for Yuzhen.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuzhen, who was aware of the situation, responded with sad words!

"kindness"

"The Yangzhou prefect, the emperor has personally called someone here, I think even Uncle Shen will have a hard time keeping everything in check!"

"The Shen family is originally a family of merchants. When faced with this matter, they will have difficulties. That's it!"

Yuzhen frowned and spoke softly and sadly.

You have to know that in those days, it was hard for a girl to control her own destiny. Once the person she entrusted her trust to died, she could only cry out to the heavens and the earth for help, but no one would help her!

When Yuzhen heard that it was Uncle Shen who was complaining, she didn't say much for the moment. Instead of making the situation awkward, it would be better to explain the reasons for his embarrassment on her own behalf, which would show that she was knowledgeable and sensible!
"Woo."

"Oh! This child"

“It’s so heartbreaking!” Liu seemed to be moved when she heard it. She couldn’t stop shedding tears. She wiped her tears with her silk and continued her story.

"Girl, Aunt Liu and your Uncle Shen have never thought of hiding anything from you since the Gu family sent someone here!"

"You don't know, these past few days, your uncle Shen's family in the Chamber of Commerce has been involved in a lawsuit!"

"You're worrying about your hair turning grey!"

"He just came downstairs. He was upset and angry. He was still communicating well with Jin Ling'er and the others downstairs and was mad at them!"

"The teapot and cup fell to the ground. Look, there's a puddle of water on the ground!"

"Alas," Liu Wanyun sighed.

"Speaking of the Gu family, it's hard for you to accept it. Even I, as your aunt, feel bad for you!"

"That bastard is a second-generation rich kid who is used to being spoiled by his family!"

"Thrown outside, in Yangzhou City, who knows how much trouble it has caused!"

"He eats, drinks, gambles, visits prostitutes and bullies people. He is a bastard!"

"Even if you don't know about this kind of person's character, your uncle Shen and I will never be so cruel as to push you into that pit of fire!"

"We both feel a million times more unwilling to do so!"

"only."

When Aunt Liu talked about the Gu family's affairs, she intended to add fuel to the fire. She talked about how there were many things that were not good about Gu San!
After hearing this, Yuzhen felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears.

"Aunt, you are willing to say all this in person today, then... then you love me!"

"Think about my sister Yu'e and I, who have gone through so many twists and turns all the way to the Shen family in Nantou!"

"Although it's not been long, Uncle Shen and you have been very caring and protective of my two sisters!"

"Yuzhen has seen all of this, and it warms her heart!"

"Especially in the past half month, my brother Zhengwen, he..." Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I was so grief-stricken that I nearly fell ill and died like my brother!"

"If it weren't for Aunt Liu and Uncle Shen's busy care, Yuzhen would never have made it to this day!"

"But, just, it's just that Third Young Master Gu." Yuzhen choked.

"The worst that can happen is that I will die for doing this!"

"Tell the Gu family to take my body back, and that will fulfill their wish."

"When the time comes, Aunt, you take good care of Xiao'e for me, and I, I won't have to worry about anything in my grave!"

Sobbing and sobbing began, and the two women leaned over to cry together, sharing the same sorrow!
"Ouch!"

"Girl, you, you"

"You are really going to hurt your Aunt Liu to death!" Yuzhen's eyes were filled with tears. Seeing this, Liu Wanyun seemed to be so confused that she couldn't care about what was going to happen next!

Shen Chaozong, who was standing by, felt helpless for a moment when he saw the two women like this.

However, after hearing Yuzhen's words and attitude, I thought that the matter of marriage with the Gu family could not be completely abandoned. This would at least strengthen Shen Chaozong's determination to become a concubine through selection!

"Ugh"

"Okay, okay!"

"Wanyun, why are you crying along with me?"

After a while, he heard two girls sitting to the side sobbing, and Chaozong used appropriate words to calm the discussion.

"Yuzhen, Yuzhen girl!"

"Uncle Shen, I have wasted half my life and have no daughter. I only have Hongpan, a rebellious son!"

"To be honest, it was God's mercy that in the first two years, Erlang Zhengwen was recognized!" "Last month, you and Xiao'e, two maids, entered the mansion again!"

"To be honest, your aunt Liu and I have really treated you two sisters as our own daughters ever since we first met you!" He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"We are a family, Yuzhen! Huh?!"

"Tell me, no matter how foolish I am, how could I watch my own daughter jump into the fire pit of the Gu family?!"

"Hu——" With a long sigh, Shen Zi turned his head away again and spoke to Liu.

"Oh! All right!"

"Wanyun, please stop crying!"

"Let's discuss that matter. What should we do? You should discuss it with the girl!" Then he got back to the point.

But after hearing Uncle Shen's words, Yuzhen's sobbing gradually stopped and her expression was dazed!

When Liu Wanyun heard this, she stopped crying, twitched her nose twice, and complained.

"Humph!"

"You, you!"

"You are the one who is always good at giving things away, how come it is my fault now?!" Liu complained.

Seeing the situation, Chaozong waved his hand and begged for mercy, letting Liu go without any temper tantrum, and continued to get down to business.

"Humph!"

"Alas" he let out in one breath!

"Okay, okay, I said, I'll do it!"

"Yuzhen!"

"Don't be sad yet!" Liu Wanyun turned her eyes back and looked at Yuzhen's face.

"This just happened. Your Uncle Shen and I have discussed this!"

"It's about Gu Jiayan's relatives!"

"Well, it's not like there's no solution at all!"

"Well, after racking our brains, we have come up with a good idea that can protect you and the Shen family at the same time!"

"I just don't know." Having said this, Liu paused intentionally, waiting for Yuzhen to ask back.

"kindness?!"

"This..." As expected, Yuzhen's eyes were filled with tears and she hurriedly looked back.

"Uh"

"Well, little girl, let me ask you something first!"

"I wonder if you and Xiao'e recognized any outsiders when you were still in the Duke's Mansion in the capital?!" Liu Zhidang asked.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhen was stunned again.

"kindness?!"

"This"

"Aunt, what do you mean? Yuzhen doesn't understand!" Yuzhen was stunned and confused.

"Ugh"

"What I mean is, did you have any relatives or playmates who visited your house frequently before?!" Liu Jie understood the literal meaning and asked again.

Hearing this, Yuzhen had no choice but to reply honestly.

"Uh"

“A lot of movement.”

"Among the Duke's Mansions in Beijing, the closest family is probably the Duke Zhou's family!"

"No, but in the first few years, my mother passed away due to illness, and my father... my father has a free and easy temperament and has always been lazy about his family's affairs!"

"So, we sisters spend less and less time with our relatives and friends outside the family!"

"Aunt, why are you asking these questions?!"

"It's difficult. Could it be that this is my father's business and the court is investigating it? Is there anyone coming to check it out?!" Yuzhen told the truth, feeling worried.

Hearing such words, Liu Wanyun looked deeply at Shen Chaozong, and all their worries disappeared!
Originally, the key to Yuzhen's entry into the palace was this relationship. But now, since she has seldom been in contact with the outside world for many years, the young lady in the boudoir is getting older and older every year, and the changes are even more significant!
I think that this matter is almost half done!
