After having breakfast, Shen Youxia shook her small fan and took Chunfen and Xia Zhi out.

  "Miss, youre going out like this without telling anyone in the house, isnt that a bit improper?"

  In the past, when going out, he would always inform Li Guanjia of Rui Wangfu, who was also Li Xiangs father.

  "On the Spring Equinox, I am the master and he is the slave. Wherever I go doesnt need to be told to anyone, including Zhu Yunyan."

  "Remember this from now on. Even if you marry into the Rui Wang Fu or the Ding Guo Hou Fu, dont lose the dignity of the Ding Guo Hou Fu. If anyone asks, Ill scold them back."

  "From now on, I will be the true master of Rui Wang Fu."

  Shen Youxia said it was actually for one purpose, forcing Zhu Yunyan to divorce his wife.

  In Chu and Qin, there were many rules for women. One of them was that when going out, they had to inform their husbands families, and when returning to their parents homes, they also had to inform their husbands families.

  Since Zhu Yunyan wont divorce his wife, dont blame her for really playing a ruthless move.

  In her past life, she had always been by Zhu Yunyans side and forgot to care for her grandfather who loved her the most since childhood. It wasnt until she was imprisoned that her grandfather died of grief after trying every means to save her, did she realize that the person who loved her the most in this world had also left, and she had never repaid her grandfathers love in any way.

  Shen Youxias parents passed away when she was very young. Although the Dingguo Hou Mansion is large, she has no biological brothers or sisters. Those uncles and elder cousins never looked at her with a straight eye, only her grandfather being the one person who cared about her.

  Just like when her grandfather passed away, the once grand Dingguo Mansion fell apart and no one came to visit or care for her, not even someone to trample on her.

  It wasnt until then that she truly understood her backing wasnt the Dingguo Marquis Manor, but rather her grandfather. Without her grandfather, what could she use to make a scene or cause trouble?

  Fortunately, she got a second chance, and this life she will never do things that make her grandfather sad again.

  …………

  The Shen family was a noble family who followed the founding emperors of Chu and Qin in their conquests.

  Shen Youxias grandfather, Shen Jing, was a concubine-born son who gained recognition from the previous emperor for his outstanding military achievements on the battlefield and promoted the Shen family from Pingyuan Bo Fu to Dingguo Hou Fu.

  In Chu and Qin, whether in the wild or in the court, whenever Shen Jing, the Marquis of Dingguo, is mentioned, everyone gives a thumbs up. Whether its his character or prestige, Shen Jing is impeccable. Even Shen Shu, the eldest son of the Shen family, who was robbed of his title by this younger brother, acknowledges him.

  If theres one thing Shen Jing cant bring himself to show off about, its his own biological granddaughter, Shen Youxia.

  The Emperor held Shen Jing in high esteem, and all the princes knew that if they could gain Shen Jings support, it would be easier for them to obtain that supreme position.

  Zhu Yunyan also wanted that position, but he had never thought of getting it through marriage, by marrying Shen Youxia.

  So the Rui Wang Fu, which originally had a good relationship with the Ding Guo Hou Fu, eventually cut off all contact with the Ding Guo Hou Fu. Zhu Yunyan would rather not have the throne than want Shen Youxia as his wife.

  He is also capable, and the current Shen Youxia matches Zhu Yunyan. However, as Zhu Yunyan repeatedly went on expeditions to quell rebellions and implemented the strategy of pacifying the country, without the support of the Duke of Dingguos mansion, Zhu Yunyan also became the crown prince. At that time, Zhu Yunyan was someone Shen Youxia could never match no matter what.

  So, at that time he still wanted to marry Li Yue, it should be true love. At that time, what did he need a powerful wifes family for? Moreover, the Li family was a servant of the Rui Wang Fu, what kind of clan would they have?
