Liu Shenzhi smiled and touched her head.
Wan Qiyan looked sideways.
Shen Yinqiu secretly tightened his hand.
As an elder, her uncle always treated her as a child.
He was used to touching her head as a sign of praise when she was a child.
He was so Why are you staring at her uncle?
Wan Qiyan withdrew his gaze and held her hand instead.
He said nothing, but made it clear that he could only touch her head, not anyone, not even the elders.
Fortunately, Liu Shenzhi was so happy that he didn't notice anything strange about Wan Qiyan.
He welcomed them into the main hall, where Shen Yinqiu's second aunt Mu came with her two sons and one daughter.
She smiled as soon as she saw Shen Yinqiu, and enthusiastically stepped forward to hold her hand and exchange greetings.
Shen Yinqiu awkwardly called her aunt, then greeted her two cousins and one cousin.
Then he withdrew the held hand without any trace.
Only Mu, the client, felt Shen Yinqiu's alienation, but she didn't find it strange.
She had disliked this niece for a long time.
Her father doesn't care for her and her mother doesn't love her.
She lives in the Liu family for free, and her food and clothing expenses are the same as those of the Liu family's legitimate daughter.
She deserves to be successful in her studies, and she even takes advantage of the Liu family's daughter.
I don't know what that means.
What did the old woman think?
If Shen Yinqiu's expenses were not paid out of the old woman's own pocket and she wanted the three brothers to raise Shen Yinqiu, she would definitely have some objections.
When everyone mentioned Jiangnan Liu Mansion, the first person who came to mind was Shen Yinqiu.
Even her husband scolded his biological daughter for a niece.
Don't think she doesn't know how many good things he gave Shen Yinqiu every time he went back.
There is a pile of banknotes alone, which is enough to give my daughter a year's worth of money.
Are there any uncles like this?
What's even more disgusting, needless to say, the third brother's brother-in-law, Shen Yinqiu lives in his house.
I heard that he would still give Yueyin every month, and he would give it to his legitimate daughter for whatever she spent.
The eldest brother, who is such a serious person, did the same thing.
What did these three brothers think of this niece?
Therefore, the old lady said on the surface that she would pay for Shen Yinqiu's expenses, but in fact, she was just giving Shen Yinqiu an extra piece of monthly silver in disguise.
It was known from the time she left Jiangnan that the family had a rich fortune, hehehe What does this make her daughter think?
So when it came to Shen Yinqiu, she didn't like to see her, but she had to smile at her for her husband's sake.
Shen Yinqiu also knew the attitude of these aunts towards him.
Except for the eldest aunt who really liked her, the other two aunts were just playing tricks in front of others.
Her second uncle's daughter is Liu Xinhan, who is two years older than her.
She has not yet left the government, and it is said that she is still looking after her.
When she saw Shen Yinqiu, she just said yes, and her mother's attitude was completely opposite.
Liu knew that it was not easy to scold his daughter in front of Shen Yinqiu and Wan Qiyan, so he left with other topics.
Mu pulled Liu Xinhan's arm and winked at her, then took her arm and followed Liu Shenzhi.
After everyone sat down, the maid began to serve them tea.
The people Shen Yinqiu brought also happened to present the gifts they had brought.
Liu Shenzhi opened the conversation and asked: "You are here, what are you giving me?
You are so polite to your uncle.
I brought back the things my uncle gave me."

Shen Yinqiu said with a smile: "That's not the case.
This is the first time the prince has come to visit, and I have prepared a gift for you."
Liu Zhenzhi accepted the gift and handed it to the butler.
He looked at the sky and saw that it was still too early for lunch.
After sitting for a while, he led Shen Yinqiu and the others to visit the yard.
During this period, Liu Shenzhi saw that his sons wanted to get close to the prince, and his daughter wanted her mother to ignore Shen Yinqiu.
After thinking about it, he asked his wife and children to leave.
Staying here would only increase the embarrassment.
As soon as they left, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Shen Yinqiu felt a little embarrassed.
After observing her second uncle's expression for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief after finding no displeasure.
In the past, when her uncle and his wife and children quarreled because of her problems, she was at her most helpless, unable to intervene and unable to escape.
Liu Shenzhi took them to the back garden alone and said, "Let the prince laugh."
Wan Qiyan shook his head.
Ever since he became famous in the palace and was praised by the emperor, countless people have been getting close to him, and this second uncle's son is inevitable.
He didn't care, but it was easy to see from the attitudes of Mu and her daughter what status his Aqiu had been in before.
Shen Yinqiu observed the layout of Liu Shenzhi's mansion for a while.
Overall, it was pretty good.
He had been in the palace and out of the capital, and couldn't find anything unique about it.
The three of them rested in the Orchid Pavilion.
Liu Shenzhi asked the accompanying maids and servants to prepare some food, and then formally talked about the matter and said, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me, please tell me what you want."
The prince faction where Wan Qiyan is standing, Liu Shenzhi and Liu Shen'an are both neutral factions.
They are not favored by Nanhou Ye and it is not clear whether they are the prince or the third prince.
Although Shen Yinqiu brought the prince to the house as a niece, it still made people think deeply.
So there must be something going on when they come to the door.
Shen Yinqiu glanced at Wan Qiyan, who motioned to her.
She said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my uncle.
The reason I came here this time is to ask my uncle if you have sent a total of two things to the Hou Mansion recently."
Liu Shenzhi glanced at her, and couldn't see anything fishy from her natural expression, but he felt that this matter was not simple, "There were two times, one was when I asked about my mother by the way, and the other was yesterday, someone else I gave my uncle a piece of high-quality Codonopsis pilosula.
The doctor has evaluated it and thinks it’s best to use it to nourish the body.
My uncle doesn’t need it on weekdays.
Thinking that your health has always been bad, he sent someone to send it to you.
But what’s the problem?”
Shen Yinqiu thought that it turned out to be Codonopsis pilosula and must have been switched.
She originally wanted her uncle to call the boy who delivered the things yesterday to ask how it was switched.
But then his uncle would know that there was something weird about the gift and get involved.
She didn't want her uncle to get into other troubles.
Every move of a high-ranking person would be noticed, so she smiled and said, "No, I received the things yesterday evening.
Today I wanted to ask my uncle if he had visited my mother."
Mentioning Liu Shitan, Liu Shenzhi looked a little helpless, "Your mother is so old and has a very stubborn temper.
She has never discussed such an important matter as severing relations with the Shen family with her uncle and mother.
But it's true that your mother's idea is That's right.
My uncle originally planned to visit me today.
It's his holiday, but he didn't expect you to come too. " Shen Yinqiu knew that her uncle and his mother had a deep relationship, otherwise he would not be so kind to her.
Her grandmother was right, many things had a cause and effect.

No matter how good her three uncles were to her, they would not be so kind to her.
No matter how you don't care about her, it's all because of her mother.
Without her mother's relationship, do you still expect these three outstanding uncles to care about her?
She smiled and said: "I also plan to visit my mother.
My uncle will go with us later."
Liu Shenzhi nodded, "Very good."
But at that moment, he straightened his expression and said, "But Ah Qiu, shouldn't you tell the truth to your uncle?"
Shen Yinqiu paused and said, "Yeah."
"Have you received what your uncle gave you?"
Liu Shenzhi asked.
Shen Yinqiu was immediately worried.
She was shocked by her uncle.
The second gift must not be as simple as Codonopsis pilosula.
She raised her head and glanced at Liu Shenzhi, wondering if she could be fooled by pretending to be stupid.
Liu Shenzhi added: "Don't use your little cleverness on uncle.
Tell me, what's wrong with the gift?
It's the problem with the Codonopsis ginseng."
Shen Yinqiu shook his head, his mind spinning rapidly, and said, "No, we received an empty gift box yesterday.
There was nothing in it, and there was no handwriting.
The prince and I pondered whether the uncle's gift of an empty gift box was implying something.
I didn't think clearly about adding my mother, so I came to visit my uncle. " Shen Yinqiu secretly thought that she was smart.
In this way, her uncle would definitely find the boy in charge of the gifts, and then she would also know who the boy had been in contact with, and even the warrant had been handed over to others.
Such carelessness could be no Liu Shen knew that she was not joking, and when he saw the prince nodding aside, he suddenly said angrily, "Who is so bold as to steal the things inside?"
After he finished speaking, he summoned the maid beside him and said, "Call the steward over here."
"Yes."
When the maid saw him raising his voice, she was as frightened as a quail, and immediately ran to call someone.
Just when Shen Yinqiu wanted to comfort him and calm down, her second uncle immediately regained his composure and said, "My uncle will find out about this matter.
No one in the house should be bold enough to cheat."
Her comforting words were stuck in her throat, and she swallowed hard and hummed.
The steward quickly came to them and said respectfully: "Master, Crown Prince, Crown Princess."
"Let me ask you, yesterday I asked you to send the Codonopsis pilosula to the Hou Mansion, did you deliver it?"
Liu Shenzhi asked.
The steward was stunned and immediately said: "Go back to the master, after I asked Hui Niang to bandage it, I asked the servant to send it to the Hou Mansion."
He paused and looked at Shen Yinqiu, and then said: "Did something happen, master?"
, I’ll go and deliver the gifts right away.”
Liu Shenzhi waved for him to go.
Shen Yinqiu and Wan Qiyan looked at each other.
It was definitely not the old steward who had lost the things, only the boy.
The steward has been looking for this boy for a long time.
I heard that this boy has been locked in his room since yesterday and said he was feeling unwell.
When Shen Yinqiu saw the steward bringing him over, he noticed his uneasy expression.
Anyone with eyes could see that there was something wrong in his mind.
"Master, this little monkey went to deliver the things yesterday.
He has fast feet, so he usually delivers the things."
The person in charge said.

The little monkey was as his name suggests, thin and skinny.
When he saw Shen Yinqiu and Wan Qiyan, he had an expression as if disaster had finally come.
He didn't wait for his master to speak, and knelt down quickly and said: "My lord, please forgive me, I didn't intentionally lose the gift.
Yesterday, I carried the gift box to the Marquis' Mansion as usual, and was picked up by someone on the street.
After a pat on the shoulder, I came to my senses and found myself in the alley.
The gift box in my hand and the warrant in my arms were gone
