After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 348 Shen Tian's Attitude
As the group left the Princess's residence, Shen Dagou couldn't wait to ask, "Second Sister, weren't you recuperating at the Marquis's residence? Why did you come to the Princess's residence? Could it be that you have fully recovered?"

Shen Dagou stared at Shen Tian with hopeful eyes.

Liu Su, who was standing next to Shen Tian, ​​quickly explained, "Young master, my young lady is not fully recovered yet. She will have to take medicine when she gets back, and the imperial physician will come to check her pulse again tomorrow."

Shen Dagou's expression clearly showed his disappointment.

Seeing him like this, Shen Tian felt bad too. "Brother, Uncle Liu was worried that I would get bored staying in the manor for too long. It just so happened that Young Master Murong brought Princess Qingfeng to the Yong'an Marquis's manor for a short visit, and that's how I met Princess Qingfeng."

"Today, the princess invited me over for a short visit. Uncle Liu figured I'd be sitting here anyway, so he let me come over to relax. In two months, when you come again, I should be able to go home with you."

“Then I’ll wait a little longer. You don’t know how often your parents and grandma miss you at home. Your mother and sister-in-law clean your room every day. This year, we’ve raised a lot more chickens and ducks, including some kind of black-boned chicken, which is said to be good for your health. Your mother specially prepared it for you. We also have cattle and sheep. This year, we’ve raised two beef cattle and ten sheep. We can slaughter them all when you go back.”

Shen Dagou kept rambling on about the situation at home, all expressing his hope that Shen Tian would return.

Shen Tian's eyes reddened, and her voice choked slightly. "Big brother, I also want to go back soon, to work with second brother, to help parents, to talk to grandma, and to see my nephew and niece. I miss them too."

Although she did not inherit the original owner's memories, she truly felt the Shen family's care for her during her recovery period. It was not mixed with any consideration of interests, but simply because she was a member of the Shen family.

She cherishes this relationship and is reluctant to let it go.

Seeing his sister sad, Shen Dagou immediately turned around and comforted her, "Don't be sad. Next time your older brother comes, I will definitely take you back for a reunion. You are weak, and Sister Xiaotai said that you should recuperate for another year or two before going back. Also, she has made a lot of your favorite snacks. You can come over to eat snacks every day after you go back."

Shen Tian chuckled, "Big brother, I could never do something so shameless!"

"Haha, it's okay, your older brother is shameless. He'll have your sister-in-law bring you snacks every day." Shen Dagou said loudly, shamelessly.

His witty remarks cheered Shen Tian up considerably.

Taking the opportunity, Shen Dagou asked, "Second Sister, what is the identity of that Young Master Murong? How come he can accompany the Princess out? Could it be that the Princess is his future wife?"

Shen Tian lowered her eyelids, and before she could speak, Liu Su, who was standing beside her, became anxious and said, "Young Master, you can't say such things! Princess Qingfeng is Young Master Murong's cousin."

Shen Dagou gasped, quickly covering his mouth, his face filled with lingering fear.

Shen Tianrou smiled and said, "Big brother, it's alright. There are only a few of us here, so it's no big deal. Just don't talk about it in the future. In fact, I don't know the identity of Young Master Murong. I only know that he has a good relationship with Uncle Liu and often visits the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion. Few people usually visit the Marquis's mansion. I often talk to Uncle Liu and occasionally I can run into Young Master Murong who comes to visit."

Uncle Liu told everyone I was his niece, and perhaps that's why Young Master Murong treated me so kindly. We're just ordinary people; if it weren't for Uncle Liu, we wouldn't even have the chance to meet someone like Young Master Murong. We mustn't mention him again.”

"I understand, I understand, Second Sister, you're so clear-headed! I'll definitely keep my mouth shut from now on and won't say anything reckless again!" Shen Dagou was still a little scared. But he was mostly relieved that his sister hadn't been blinded by wealth. Even if he had to wait another year or two, it wouldn't be a problem.

As Liusu listened, she grew anxious. On the surface, she was Shen Tian's maid, but in reality, her master was Murong Xu. If her master found out that Miss Shen was determined to sever ties with him and was even preparing to return to her hometown, he would be furious.

Shen Tian led Shen Dagou and the others to the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

Liu Laosan met with them and invited them to have a meal at his residence. During the meal, he inevitably brought up Shen Tian's return to her hometown again.

Liu Laosan glanced at Liusu, his worries growing even stronger.

After Shen Dagou and the others left, he called Shen Tian over and said earnestly, "Girl, there are some things you probably understand, so I won't say them outright. You really have no intention of going to that wealthy place?"

Shen Tian nodded firmly, "Uncle Liu, the most important thing is to know your own limitations. I know very well what my background is. If I go to a wealthy family, I will only be a concubine and be locked up in a small space with a group of women, without any freedom. I still prefer the peaceful Shen Family Village."

She'd had enough of that back-and-forth fighting. It was a rare opportunity in her life to have a peaceful little family, so who would want to climb that deadly high branch?

Seeing that Shen Tian was so lucid, Liu Laosan immediately nodded, "Good! In two months, when you have fully recovered, I will have someone send you away."

Just as the two finished their discussion, Murong Xu arrived, his face somewhat gloomy.

"My lord, you know very well what I'm thinking. Why do you want to oppose me?" Murong Xu had always been polite to Liu Laosan, and this was the first time she had turned on him.

Liu Laosan immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, what are you saying! I, Liu Laosan, have neither real power nor money, how could I be opposing you?"

"Hmph!" Murong Xu clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. "Fine, I'll be blunt. Shen Tian is the one I've taken a liking to, and I'll bring her back to my residence in a few days."

Liu Laosan gasped, "Your Highness, are you going to forcibly take a woman from the common people? If the Emperor finds out, it will be terrible! Think it over!"

Murong Xu laughed in anger, "Liu Laosan! How dare you slander me!"

"No, no, Your Highness! Miss Shen is neither my daughter nor a relative. She's just staying at my house to recuperate. If you want to take her as a concubine, it's no use telling me! I can't make that decision for her! Besides, her brother has already said he wants to take her back to her hometown. I'm just respecting his decision. If you have any thoughts, you should talk to Miss Shen yourself. Telling me won't help." Liu Laosan kept shaking his head and waving his hands, trying to distance himself from her.

Murong Xu gritted her teeth, "Don't try to play these tricks on me! If you really wanted to manage things, wouldn't you be able to?"

Liu Laosan's eyes widened instantly. "Your Highness knows I don't want to get involved! Your Highness, this is how my life is. I finally found a godson, and I'm counting on him and his wife to take care of me in my old age. Miss Shen is their friend, and I don't want to get involved in these things. It would be so bad if the children misunderstood!"

"You!" Murong Xu suddenly stood up, staring intently at Liu Laosan. "You really don't care?"
