Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Xu Qinghe clasped her hands together and placed them slightly on her stomach, sitting upright like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Shen Daya glanced at her with a gloomy expression, then turned and walked towards the storage area.

She even walked very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing Xu Qinghe.

Just then, Shen Chengyue, who was sitting next to Xu Qinghe, suddenly poked his head out, looking at Shen Daya who was rummaging through things with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Sister Daya, what are you looking for?"

Shen Daya was startled by the sudden sound and turned to look at Shen Chengyue.

Shen Chengyue's entire body was blocked by Xu Qinghe's legs, with only his head showing, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

Shen Daya hurriedly tidied her things up, looking guilty, and said, "Aunt Lan asked me to come and find something. Let me look for it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Chengyue stood up abruptly and ran into the courtyard.

As she ran, she shouted loudly to Aunt Lan, who was busy running around, "Aunt Lan, what did you ask my sister Da Ya to look for? She's searched my whole house and still can't find it. Let me take a look for her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Daya's face turned pale instantly. She glanced helplessly outside, then lowered her head and pinched her fingers together with a look of resentment.

Before Lan's sister-in-law could react, upon hearing Shen Chengyue's question, she immediately replied without hesitation, "I didn't ask her to find anything!"

As soon as Sister Lan finished speaking, the relatives and neighbors sitting in the yard began to whisper among themselves.

He muttered to himself while glancing at Sister-in-law Shen every now and then.

Feeling annoyed by their stares, Sister-in-law Shen muttered irritably, "Useless."

Then she snapped at everyone, "Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who told her to take it."

One sentence sealed Shen Daya's place on the pillar of shame. She stood there helplessly, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Xu Qinghe turned her head slightly and glanced at Shen Daya. The corners of her mouth under the veil unconsciously turned up, full of sarcasm.

She had anticipated this event before she even started the banquet, but she never expected that Shen Daya would be the first one to be caught.

Like mother, like daughter.

Just as Shen Daya was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground, Shen Chengyue suddenly ran in, looking at her innocently and saying, "Sister Daya, are you sure you're not mistaken? Aunt Lan said she didn't ask you to take anything!"

Shen Daya blushed as Shen Chengyue asked her a question, then turned and ran out without looking back.

As soon as I went out, I was surrounded by relatives and neighbors sitting in the yard, and I noticed their scrutinizing gazes.

Shen Daya finally lost control of her emotions and shouted at them, "What are you looking at? I didn't take anything from your house." After saying that, she turned and ran outside.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen's face darkened instantly. She turned to look at Aunt Shen, who seemed completely unaffected, her face full of anger.

"Look at this, this is the good daughter you raised."

Sister-in-law Shen said dismissively, "What do you mean I taught you? You didn't teach me!"

"I think her personality is quite like yours."

Mrs. Shen was speechless with anger, "You..."

"What do you mean, 'I'? I didn't say anything wrong. Look at her, doesn't she look exactly like you? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was your daughter!"

Mother Shen: "Are you trying to drive me crazy?! Listen to what you're saying! Is that even human language?"

"What do you mean by 'not speaking human language'? Besides, it's just rummaging through some things. It's not like it's someone else's house. What, just because we've separated doesn't mean we're no longer family."

Seeing that Sister-in-law Shen was being unreasonable, Mother Shen was completely defeated. "Alright, alright, you're so great, I can't argue with you."

"As long as you're not ashamed, you can do whatever you want with it."

Sister-in-law Shen scoffed, "I'm afraid of losing face? What a joke." After saying that, she ignored Shen's mother.

Little did they know that this one action would cost Shen Daya her right to choose a spouse.

The families who originally wanted to arrange marriages with them immediately gave up the idea after seeing Shen Daya and then Shen Dasao.

Shen Daya's matter was just a side story to the wedding; everyone discussed it briefly, and then it was over.

Next came the time for the food and banquet. During this time, Shen Zhi's colleagues also arrived, and Shen Zhi set up a separate table for them.

In their impression, Shen Zhi had always been a very aloof person who rarely interacted with anyone except Chen Feng.

He also gives the impression of being a loner who doesn't have much family.

Who knew that Shen Zhi's house would be so lively today? There were many relatives and neighbors, and they were all very friendly. They were obviously native villagers.

Just as they were envying Shen Zhi's life, Sister-in-law Lan had already started arranging for Shen Ping'an to serve the dishes.

The first dish was a meat dish, braised rabbit. Everyone looked at the plate full of rabbit meat and started grabbing it before they could even say a word.

The aroma of food filled the entire courtyard. Xu Qinghe, inside the house, also smelled the food and, peeking through the gap under her veil, asked Shen Chengyue, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Shen Chengyue shook his head without hesitation.

Because of their relationship with the Shen family, if he were to have dinner there, he would definitely have to be seated at Shen's mother's table. Just thinking about the character of Shen's mother and her husband, Shen Chengyue didn't want to go.

Xu Qinghe clearly understood Shen Chengyue's meaning and said in a low voice, "I asked Aunt Lan to save some dishes for you two separately. If you're not going, they'll be brought in for you to eat in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately and readily agreed, "Okay."

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and Shen Chengyue curiously ran to the door of the main room to look out.

Then a warrior in armor, carrying a gift box, strode towards Shen Zhi.

As soon as he came over, he said to Shen Zhi, "Commander Shen, this is a wedding gift that Commander Qian asked me to deliver."

"He's a bit busy and can't come right now, please understand."

Shen Zhi calmly accepted the congratulatory gift from Commander Zheng and said in a composed tone, "Please thank Commander Zheng for me."

The visitor nodded slightly, delivered the goods, and then rode away on horseback without looking back.

Because he was wearing armor, Shen Zhi and the others did not try to stop him.

After all, they had all asked Zheng Qianhu for leave in advance to come, and someone like him was even less likely to stay.

As soon as everyone left, Shen Zhi took the gift box and went into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, the crowd began to whisper among themselves, "Did you hear that just now?"

"That man called the second son of the Shen family 'Commander Shen,' so it seems he's been promoted without anyone noticing?"

"That's right, you can't buy that gift box without at least one tael of silver."

"One ounce? It must be at least two ounces."

"When my nephew got married last time, he bought a very small one, which still cost one tael of silver."

"Tsk tsk! The Shen family is really getting better and better."
