Chapter 24 Entering the Palace
On the day of the flower viewing feast, Shen Li wore a goose-yellow tube top skirt with a jacket of the same color, while Zhong Ning wore a light green long skirt. Both of them were beautiful but not too conspicuous.
A group of people rode in a carriage until they arrived at the gate of the palace. Due to the regulations of the palace, they could only walk on foot for the rest of the journey.
Although Shen Li had some impressions of this imperial palace in his mind, the feeling was still different when he was actually in it.
Although it was already evening at this time, the roads in the palace were brightly illuminated by various colored glazed lamps, and the colorful flowers placed everywhere could be clearly seen.
There were a lot of people on the road, all of them dressed up for the banquet, Shen Li didn't dare to stay longer, and just glanced at it hastily before walking quickly.
This trip into the palace, Shen Li only intends to spend it peacefully, and it's best if no one notices her.
But the sky didn't go with people's wishes, and she didn't go far before she saw the original owner's uncle dragging his family along.
Shen Jiao and her mother, whether it's the clothes on their bodies or the accessories on their heads, all reveal extravagance, and it looks like they are wearing their family wealth.
Especially Shen Jiao, that pretense...won't it really break her neck?
Old lady Yin was dressed in bright red, her eyes were almost the same color as her clothes after seeing Zhong Ning.
The two teams met on a narrow road and walked forward side by side. Because it was in the palace, Yin did not dare to speak up. After approaching Zhong Ning, just as he was about to have a fit, he received Gu Sheng's cold stare.
No matter how powerful she is, she is still an old lady. She is still afraid of such a tall, dark-faced man.
Zhong Ning has such a "keeper" by his side, Yin can't do anything about her, but his granddaughter can always scold her.
She lowered her voice to reprimand Shen Li.
"You are a foodie, and you actually help that broom star deal with your grandma. Don't forget that your surname is also Shen."
In Yin's impression, Shen Li is the one who is most suitable for being scolded. He will not fight back, and even if he is wronged, he will not tell others.
But she forgot, this sinking is not the other sinking.
Shen Li did not show a timid look as she expected, but opened her mouth to speak.
"But your surname is not Shen."
After successfully making Yin Shi speechless for a moment, Shen Li spoke again.
"Exposed obscenities in the palace, grandma, do you think that you have lived too long.
Or... you want to tell everyone how you treated your daughter-in-law and granddaughter harshly and took over the family property of your daughter-in-law. "
Yin's face showed panic, she swears and curses smoothly, now she is afraid, she subconsciously looks around, seeing that someone has noticed the movement here, she immediately silences, not even daring to speak back.
Seeing this, Shen Guang also came over to pull her.
"Mom, stop talking."
Shen Li didn't want to fight with this group of people. After all, she didn't want to get angry because of these irrelevant people. She took Zhong Ning and walked a few steps quickly, leaving Yin Shi behind.
Shen Guang's hand is still holding Yin Shi, but his eyes have followed Zhong Ning away.
In the past few years, he met Zhong Ning only a few times. Zhong Ning was always wearing plain clothes, with a calm and quiet demeanor. Today, her appearance really hooked the gluttons he had been holding back so hard.
It is said that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief, which is still reasonable.
Especially the brother's woman, just thinking about it makes her heart itch.
Zhou Qing looked at Shen Guang's reluctance, and knew what he was planning. She stared at Zhong Ning's back, her eyes seemed to be poisoned.
The next second, Zhou Qing glanced at the man beside Zhong Ning, and said something abruptly.
"Don't tell me, the younger brother and sister's house is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. She and the man next to her are really like a couple."
