Wrongfully executed and drowned, the legitimate daughter is reborn and marries the emperor.

Chapter 168 General Shen Wei, the General Who Guards the North.

After receiving the list from Shen Yuan, Xiang Xiaoling went to Qingyun Mountain outside the city.

For the next two days, Shen Yuan made sachets.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to go out that day, she suddenly heard Chu Yuning's voice coming from next door.

"Good morning, Brother Lü!"

"morning!"

Through the crack in the door, Shen Yuan saw Lü Jimin follow Chu Yuning out the door.

The two stood in front of the door, and Chu Yuning suddenly glanced in the direction of Shen Yuan, "Brother Lü, who lives next door to you?"

"It seems to be an ordinary couple. Why is Young Master Chu inquiring about this matter?"

"I was just asking casually."

"Let's go! We'll miss Master Wang's spring tea banquet if we're late!"

Lu Jimin urged him on, and Chu Yuning followed him out of the alley. But he kept looking back along the way, and for some reason, he felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

That day, he vaguely saw the middle-aged man with a thick beard enter the courtyard next to Lü Jimin's.

Was he spying on him in secret?

Thinking of that middle-aged man with cold eyes, Chu Yuning shuddered and thought that she should avoid coming to this place in the future.

Seeing that Chu Yuning had gone far away, Shen Yuan lingered in the courtyard for a while before putting on her veil, carrying the sachet she had made herself, and going to the market.

To sell things at a stall in Kyoto, you need to pay a stall management fee first, but fortunately the stall fee is not expensive, only 500 mon per month.

Shen Yuan paid the money and set up her stall.

Although only ten sachets were sold on the first day, it was good that business had started.

As closing time approached, Shen Yuan packed up her stall, intending to go home early.

The reason she dared to sell things so openly at the market was that she was betting that those who wanted her dead wouldn't dare to attack her in front of so many people.

So she wanted to take advantage of the busy streets and get home early.

Shen Yuan was walking back with a bamboo basket on her back when she bumped into a woman dressed in fine clothes. Her veil was caught on the woman's hair ornament.

The woman removed her hair ornament and was about to pull down Shen Yuan's veil when she suddenly saw Shen Yuan's face.

"Shen Yunjin, is that you?"

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and pulled off her veil, putting it on her face.

Wang Qingxi frowned as she looked Shen Yuan up and down. She saw that Shen Yuan was dressed in a plain green cloth dress, her hair was wrapped in a bright green cloth and adorned with only two silver hairpins. She couldn't help but tease her, "Shen Yunjin, what kind of trick are you up to?"

"Could it be that she sneaked out of the manor to see her lover?"

Shen Yuan didn't know who Shen Yunjin, the woman in front of her, was, but she didn't want to cause any misunderstandings and damage a girl's reputation, so she explained, "I'm not Shen Yunjin, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

"You're not Shen Yunjin?" Wang Qingxi stared at Shen Yuan's eyes and looked at them carefully. They were indeed different. The girl in front of her had bigger and more spirited eyes.

She curled her lip: "You look so much like her! But then again, someone as arrogant as her would never wear your tattered clothes!"

Shen Yuan had no interest in Shen Yunjin, whom Wang Qingxi had mentioned, and turned to leave without listening to her say anything more.

Wang Qingxi stared at Shen Yuan's retreating figure for a while, then said to the two maids behind her, "Let's go! Let's take a stroll around the Shen family!"

-

When Shen Yuan arrived home, wisps of smoke were already rising from the chimney.

Seeing Xiao Ling chopping vegetables in front of the stove, Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow and teased, "The way you hold a kitchen knife is just as impressive as the way you wield a long knife."

Xiao Ling chuckled: "You're back. How was your day?"

Shen Yuan: "I only sold ten sachets. But fortunately, there are many wealthy people in this capital city. A sachet that sells for 100 coins in Jian'an can sell for 1 tael of silver here."

"The price of medicinal herbs and spices here is twice as high as in the south, and the sachets in the embroidery workshop are ridiculously expensive. But fortunately, I have kept the costs under control, and I can still make a 50% profit on each sachet."

When it comes to running a stall business, Shen Yuan always talks non-stop.

Seeing her radiant appearance, Xiao Ling felt the cleaver in his hand become dull.

If he were to compete for that position, it would be difficult for him and Shen Yuan to continue living such an ordinary and leisurely life as they do now.

But if he doesn't fight for it, how can he protect the people he cares about?

He imagined them living in high-rise buildings, wearing fine clothes, owning thousands of acres of fertile land, and having countless servants, so that no one in the world would dare to bully them.

He wanted to avenge her enemies.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Yuan suddenly leaned forward and waved in front of Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling snapped out of her reverie. "I wasn't thinking about anything."

Shen Yuan then asked, "Have you ever met General Shen Wei, the General Who Guards the North?"

Xiao Ling was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things."

Shen Yuan sat on a small stool, picked up a twig, and idly stirred the firewood under the stove.

She suddenly remembered something small.

In her previous life, at a banquet in the princess's mansion, a very imposing and fierce-looking man grabbed her hand.

Ask her her name, where she lives, and when she arrived at the princess's residence.

She was so frightened by the beating that she knelt on the ground with her head down, too scared to look up.

In the end, it was Xiao Yunyan who stepped in to help her out of the predicament. In fact, Xiao Yunyan was indirectly humiliating her, calling her shameless and presumptuous in trying to seduce men at the banquet.

Upon hearing this, the man quickly stepped forward to explain that he had behaved inappropriately, and that he had asked a few questions because he thought she resembled his daughter.

He apologized to her with tears in his eyes.

But Shen Yuan was in no mood to pay attention at the time. When she heard Xiao Yunyan tell her to get lost, she quickly left the banquet.

Later, she heard from the servants of the princess's residence that the man was a great general named Shen Wei.

Such a powerful person was someone Shen Yuan would likely never be able to reach in her lifetime, so she only heard the other party's name and did not inquire further.

Looking back now, Shen Yuan couldn't help but have some doubts.

The Shen Yunjin mentioned by that woman today should be the Miss Shen who had an argument with her at the jewelry shop that day.

They look so alike, what could be the connection between them?

Shen Yuan really wanted to know.

Xiao Ling put down the knife in his hand and said, "General Shen Wei returned to the capital seventeen years ago. I heard that he was brave and skilled in battle when he was young, and made countless military achievements. He stayed on the border for twenty years, expanding the territory of the Great Yan. He is a meritorious official of the Great Yan."

"Because he had been stationed at the border, his marriage was delayed until he was thirty. After his marriage, he only stayed in the capital for a year before being sent to the Northwest. Originally, Madam Shen was going to go with him, but she heard that she was pregnant and did not go."

"Later, when Madam Shen was about to give birth, she accidentally fell into the water and lost her twins. She almost died of depression. General Shen then requested permission to return to the capital to take care of his family. The emperor, remembering his meritorious service, appointed him as the General Who Guards the North and left him to guard the capital."

"After returning to the capital, General Shen and his wife had another daughter and two sons. They were a perfect couple praised by everyone in the capital. Their daughter was chosen to be the Crown Princess, and their sons held a sinecure in the Ministry of War. The Shen family's future is limitless."

"They had two sons and a daughter?" Shen Yuan commented after hearing this, "General Shen and Madam Shen are truly a loving couple."
