Chapter 15 Want to leave

Shen Li looked at a small box of house deeds and his eyes lit up.

She really wanted to pat herself on the head, why didn't she think of it earlier?

With all this, wealth and freedom are just around the corner. When the time comes, who will be willing to give up here and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to retire?

Seeing Shen Li's expression, Zhong Ning had to say something to break her illusion.

"Although these are placed here, if you can't take them back, your grandmother alone won't be able to pass.

Besides, everyone in the shop now belongs to your uncle's family, and we can't even get in."

For the sake of face, Zhong Ning did not tell her that when she was first housekeeper, there were many servants in the house and the expenses were really high. At that time, she tried to go to the old house and take back the shop.

But those people were unreasonable and did not speak out. Instead, they openly and secretly ridiculed her for wanting to monopolize the Shen family's things.

She was a bride with no children by her side, and Shen Li was speechless, so she could only suffer the consequences.

Shen Li could roughly guess what Zhong Ning meant, but the house and land deeds were all here. She still didn't believe that she couldn't get her things back without the king's law?

"To be honest, I plan to cash out my property after taking it back and then go join my grandfather. Life will definitely be more comfortable than it is now."

"Mom, is my grandfather in Xianyang?"

People cannot be resurrected. I believe that if my father knew better, he would not want to see us trapped in this world.

The grandfather Shen Li mentioned was Zhong Ning's father. After all, she didn't have a biological grandfather to defect to, otherwise she wouldn't have to be bound to Zhong Ning.

But to be fair, Zhong Ning is a kind-hearted person and he treats her very generously.

Shen Li somewhat understood the reason why Shen Hai chose Zhong Ning as his successor and entrusted her with the family property.

At this point, Shen Li paused, leaving Zhong Ning time to think before continuing.

After listening to Shen Li's words, Zhong Ning's face turned from green to white, and his lips trembled a little.

"Leave? I...I never thought that it's not my duty to stay."

My grandparents’ attitude is very clear. You and I don’t have a good reputation. It’s difficult for us to gain a foothold in the capital with our own strength. We can’t hide in the yard all day long.”

"What do you think...what do you think...after we take back the farm shop, sell some of it, and then go to Xianyang to join my grandfather?"

"Just this empty courtyard? Is it possible that you have to guard the memorial tablet for the rest of your life?

He probably also took a fancy to Zhong Ning's character.

Seeing Zhong Ning's panicked look, Shen Li felt pity for her and said in a cool tone.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Not to mention whether the property store can be taken back, the point is...

Zhong Ning didn't know why she suddenly asked this question and answered truthfully.

Shen Li straightened up her words and asked her straightforwardly.

Thinking of this, Shen Li suddenly thought of another question.

However, Shen Li felt that Zhong Ning's ability to bear it was limited, so she had to let her digest what she said today, and let her remarry later.

When you are born, you are a member of your husband's family, and when you die, you are a ghost of your husband's family. This has been the case throughout the ages.

Shen Li couldn't bear to see Zhong Ning wasting his years in this back house. She originally wanted to persuade Zhong Ning to go to Xianyang and remarry when she met the right person while she was young.

"You want to leave the capital? But what about our mansion? I have to stay here and fulfill my filial piety for your father."

Zhong Ning's mind was a little confused for a moment. To be precise, she suspected that she had heard wrongly.

Besides, she married Shen Hai just to repay her kindness, so how could she leave just like that?

Shen Li knew that she might not be able to accept it for a while, so he changed the topic.

"Whether we want to leave or not, let's go and take back the farm shop first.

But this matter will definitely not be easy, and we will need to find some strong servants to join us."
