Chapter 046: What a blessing she had cultivated in her previous life

 "Yeah." Jiang Lanru's face was flushed, and she turned slowly in a circle, her pearl waist chain fluttering, making her smart and noble.

  She didn't expect that she would become so beautiful.

  ...

  In the hall of the General's Mansion, many guests came in one after another, and it was bustling with people.

  "Third brother, is the stench gone from your body?" Shen Qingqiu approached Shen Zhiyu, but she didn't smell the stench on his body.

  "These clothes have been scented with incense for several days. I also bathed with decoction three times today. My father also found some overseas perfume for me to barely cover up the smell."

  Shen Zhiyu pretended to show embarrassment and frowned. , his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.

  Facing Shen Shaosheng, the murderer, he now has no way to avenge himself.

  "Really? But why do I feel that the smell is really gone." Although Shen Qingqing smelled a strong and pungent fragrance from Shen Zhiyu, there was really not a trace of the stench.

  Shen Shaosheng went to talk to Shen Zhiyuan, but he didn't find anything wrong with Shen Zhiyu. He was still fat, and the odor on his body was just covered with perfume.

  "Brother, how are you lately? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

  "Very good." Shen Zhiyuan's tone was calm and his eyes were firm.

  Shen Shaosheng was stunned for a moment, not hearing the answer he wanted, and his face instantly darkened.

  Especially seeing Shen Zhiyuan's refreshing and energetic appearance, if he hadn't been in a wheelchair, who would have thought that he would be a paralytic.

  "That's good. I've been very nervous about my studies recently and often write articles in the middle of the night. Mr. Zhong and Dean Zhang asked me to sign up for the provincial examination next year."

  "Really? Congratulations." Shen Zhiyuan looked calm, even a little indifferent.

  He is not a fool, how can he not hear that Shen Shaosheng is showing off?

  Mr. Zhong used to be his first teacher.

  The Duke Protector's Mansion sent Shen Shaosheng and Shen Qingqin to attend. Although they were attending the engagement banquet, they were actually here to inquire about information.

  After all, the first house and the second house now live separately, and the second house can't keep an eye on the first house all the time. As a result, they are completely unaware of the first house's affairs and can only hear some news about the general's mansion from outsiders.

  It's not like they haven't thought about placing informants in the general's mansion, but they just haven't had the chance.

  At this time, Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong brought Mr. Jiang's family of four into the hall.

  "Where's my eldest sister? All the guests are here, why doesn't she accompany them? She's really uneducated." Jiang Yuexue looked around, with a sharp-tongued look that made people unhappy.

  On the surface she was looking for Jiang Lanru, but secretly she was slandering her.

  Seeing the general's mansion with seven entrances and five exits, luxuriously decorated, her heart was shaken again.

  Shen Zhiyu is blind and wants to get engaged to Jiang Lanru, but doesn't he have a twin brother?

  If she were engaged to him, she would be able to enjoy half of the vast wealth of the General's Mansion.

  Everyone in the Shen family has a good temper. When the time comes, she can make the shape round if she wants to, and flatten it if she wants. Isn't it just a matter of her words?

  The eldest son of the Shen family is disabled, the second child is useless, the third child is greedy, and the fifth child is lazy.

  She didn't take them seriously at all. Although the fourth son of the Shen family had no ability, he was handsome and elegant.

  The fourth among the five Shen brothers is considered normal, so he will definitely inherit the General Mansion.

  Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong looked coldly on the spot. "Miss Jiang followed Mr. Li to the house and rested in the lotus pond in the backyard."

  When Mr. Jiang saw the guests' eyes showing disgust, he scolded him with a straight face: "What's wrong with your eldest sister, it's not your turn to say anything? Jiang "Master, take care of your daughter."

  "Hmph." Jiang Yuexue stomped her feet angrily, walked from the front to the back, and hid behind Mrs. Jiang.

  "Xue'er, be good, otherwise your mother won't be able to arrange your marriage." Mrs. Jiang held Jiang Yuexue's arm, worried that she would talk nonsense again.

  "oh."     Master Li came over with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li to say hello, with a cold attitude.

  The guests knew at a glance that the relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family was not good, especially the news that Mrs. Jiang abused Miss Jiang a few days ago and was taken back to be raised by the Li family. This matter became known to everyone.

  Jiang Yuexue stopped calling her aunt and grandmother after calling her uncle. She was angry that they only saw Jiang Lanru.

  She turned around to find a few ladies and pretended to chat:

  "My sister was playful once and ran into the boiler room and fell into hot water. She left scars all over her body and even her face was disfigured.

  Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen didn't dislike my sister either. , She was really lucky to be able to marry into such a good family in this life.

  "No way! Disfigurement?" They only heard about Mrs. Jiang's abuse of Miss Jiang, but they didn't hear about the disfigurement.

  "Yes, my face was severely burned at the time. I went to many doctors but they said it couldn't be cured. My sister was very playful and always got into trouble when she was a child. She has broken the hearts of my parents so much over the years.

  Recently, it was reported that my mother abused my eldest sister. , It's really unfair.

  My mother treats my eldest sister better than me. All the delicious and fun things in the house are sent to my eldest sister's yard, and the clothes are all the latest styles in the capital."

  "But how did I hear that? " Your mother made your eldest sister wash clothes, carry water, and boil water in the boiler room for three years, which is where your grandmother found your eldest sister."

  This lady knew the inside story well and exposed it directly in front of other ladies.

  "Mrs. Jiang, do you think so?"

  "..." The smile on Mrs. Jiang's face froze, and she couldn't say a word while pulling at the corners of her mouth.

  She hated Mrs. Li in her heart. Before bringing Jiang Lanru back to the Li Mansion that day, she warned the Li Mansion not to spread the news.

  Master Jiang saw his wife being bullied and rushed to the rescue.

  "No, everyone has misunderstood. This matter is not like the rumors outside. My wife did not abuse her eldest daughter."

  "..." Mr. Li did not admit or deny, because the answer was no longer important.

  What's more, today is the engagement banquet, so we must not mess it up.

  "Miss Jiang is here." Xu Wanrou appeared at the door of the hall and shouted to the crowd.

  Everyone turned around and saw Xu Wanrou turning sideways, with a girl in red appearing behind her.

  She pulled the girl towards the crowd.

  Everyone's eyes lit up, and they realized that the girl next to Xu Wanrou was the heroine of today's engagement party - Jiang Lanru.

  The eldest lady of the Jiang family.

  I saw Jiang Lanru's graceful figure, face as smooth as gel, red lips and white teeth, stunningly beautiful.

  Today's dress showed off her advantages one by one. She was dignified, elegant and extremely noble.

  When Shen Zhiyu saw such a beautiful Jiang Lanru, she was not only excited but also moved.

  The rouge gouache given by my sister is indeed a divine product. If I had used the rouge gouache from Beijing, it would not have the same effect as it does now.

  When Jiang Yuexue saw the new and unrivaled beauty of Jiang Lanru, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her eyes burst out with jealousy.

  how so?

  Where are the scars on her face?

  Why are the scars on his neck and hands also missing?

  Are you wearing makeup?

  But where can rouge gouache have such a magical effect?

  "Jiang Lanru, where are you fooling around? This is a shameful thing." Jiang Yuexue was so anxious that she rushed up quickly, raised her right hand and hit Jiang Lanru in the face.
