Chapter 24 Entering the Palace
On the day of the flower viewing party, Shen Li wore a goose yellow tube top skirt with a jacket of the same color, while Zhong Ning wore a light green dress. Both of them were dressed beautifully without being too conspicuous.
The group of people took a carriage all the way to the palace gate. Due to the palace's regulations, they could only walk the rest of the way.
Although Shen Li had some impressions of the palace in his mind, the feeling was still different when he was actually there.
Although it was already evening at this time, the roads in the palace were brightly lit by glazed lamps of various colors, and one could clearly see the colorful flowers placed everywhere.
There were many people on the road, all dressed up for the banquet. Shen Li didn't dare to stop too much, so he only took a quick glance and walked forward quickly.
During this trip to the palace, Shen Li only planned to spend it peacefully. It would be best if no one noticed her.
But God did not follow her wishes, and before she had gone far, she saw the uncle of the original owner arriving with his family.
Both Shen Jiao and her mother exuded nobility, whether it was the clothes they wore or the accessories on their heads, and they looked like they were wearing all their family wealth.
Especially Shen Jiao, her appearance... really won't break her neck.
Mrs. Yin was dressed in bright red, and her eyes almost turned the same color as her clothes after seeing Zhong Ning.
The two teams met on a narrow road and walked side by side. Since they were in the palace, Yin did not dare to say anything. After approaching Zhong Ning, she was about to have a fit when she received a cold look from Gu Sheng.
No matter how powerful she is, she is still an old lady, and she will still be scared when facing such a tall, dark-faced man.
Zhong Ning has such a "doorkeeper" beside her. There is nothing Yin can do to her, but her granddaughter can always scold her.
She scolded Shen Li in a low voice.
"You're a rip-off, and you actually helped that broomstick deal with your grandma. Don't forget that your surname is Shen, too."
In Mrs. Yin's impression, Shen Li is the one who is best suited to being scolded. She won't talk back and won't tell others even if she feels wronged.
But she forgot that this Shenli was not that Shenli.
Shen Li did not show any timidity as she expected, but instead opened her mouth to speak.
"But your surname is not Shen."
After successfully making Mr. Yin stunned, Shen Li said again.
"If you speak obscene words in the palace, grandma, do you think you have lived too long?
Or... you want to tell everyone how you treated your daughter-in-law and granddaughter harshly and took over your daughter-in-law's family property."
Yin's face looked panicked. She had gotten used to swearing, but now she was afraid. She looked around subconsciously, and when she saw that someone had noticed the movement here, she immediately fell silent, not even daring to talk back.
When Shen Guang saw this, he came over to pull her.
"Mom, stop talking."
Shen Li didn't want to argue with this group of people. After all, she didn't want to be angry with these irrelevant people. She pulled Zhong Ning and walked a few steps quickly, quickly leaving Yin behind.
Shen Guang's hand was still holding Yin's, but his eyes had followed Zhong Ning away.
In the few times he had met Zhong Ning in the past few years, Zhong Ning always wore plain clothes and had a calm and quiet temperament. Her appearance today really brought back the greed that he had finally suppressed.
It is said that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief, which makes sense.
Especially my brother's woman, just thinking about it makes me feel itchy.
Zhou Qing looked at Shen Guang's reluctant look and knew what he was planning. She stared at Zhong Ning's back, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison.
The next second, Zhou Qing glanced at the man next to Zhong Ning and said something coldly.
