Chapter 488 Your price is too high
Shen Ruolan instructed Ji Ning: "Ji Ning, go to visit General Qin's mansion tomorrow to bring gifts, plus 10,000 taels of silver."
Ji Ning paused for a moment and responded to his master: "Yes, Master."
"Remember, just put the banknotes in an inconspicuous box." Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and reminded Ji Ning.
Ji Ning responded to Shen Ruolan: "Yes, Master, I will prepare it right away."
Shen Ruolan arranged tomorrow's affairs and went to bed.
The next day, Shen Ruolan and her friends had dinner early and went to General Qin's mansion with the prepared gifts.
At General Qin's mansion, Qin Zhen's family had been waiting in front of the gate early.
When Zhong Lingzhu saw a carriage coming towards them, she excitedly said to her husband, "Husband, it must be Sister Ruolan and the others."
Qin Zhen smiled and comforted his wife, "Zhu'er, don't get excited. Wait until Ruolan and the others' carriage arrives."
"Hmm," Zhong Lingzhu responded, stretching her body forward.
Ye Bing drove the carriage to the gate of General Qin's mansion. She stopped the horse with a "whoosh" and said to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, we have arrived at General Qin's mansion."
Shen Ruolan responded with a “hmm” in the carriage and said to the two children, “Zheyi, Anhe, we are here, get off the carriage quickly.”
"Okay." The two children heard it and jumped out of the car without waiting for Aunt Liu and the others to come forward to pick them up.
Seeing this, Zhong Lingzhu outside the carriage quickly ran forward to take An He and said, "Little An He, you have to be careful."
Although Zhong Lingzhu had never seen the two children, as soon as they appeared, she knew that they were undoubtedly Shen Ruolan's children.
Because the two children looked so outstanding, just like their parents, it was hard for her not to recognize them.
Shen Anhe smiled sweetly at Zhong Lingzhu who caught her and shouted, "Auntie, I'm fine."
Before Shen Ruolan came, she had already taught the two children how to address people when they met them at General Qin's mansion.
Zhong Lingzhu gently pinched An He's cheek and praised with a smile: "Wow, what a good little girl. No wonder Zi'an said he wants to play with you again."
After Zhong Lingzhu finished speaking, she shouted to Shen Ruolan in the carriage: "Sister Ruolan, we finally meet."
Shen Ruolan came out of the carriage and smiled at Zhong Lingzhu, "Yes, I never dreamed that we are actually relatives."
Zhong Lingzhu helped Shen Ruolan get off the carriage and said to her with a smile: "The moment I saw you that year, I felt that you were particularly familiar and kind, and you looked a lot like a cousin. I mistook you for her at that time."
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "Maybe this is fate."
"Who said it wasn't?" Zhong Lingzhu replied with a smile.
Shen Hui and Shen Qi got off the carriage at the back and shouted to Zhong Lingzhu, "Zhu'er."
When Zhong Lingzhu saw her grandfather and cousin, she happily went over to greet them, "Grandpa, third cousin, it's great that you're here."
Shen Qi glanced at Qin Zhen and asked Zhong Lingzhu, "Zhu'er, are you living well here?"
"Thank you grandpa for your concern. I'm living well." Zhong Lingzhu said.
Qin Zhen greeted them, "Grandpa, third cousin, Ruolan, welcome."
Shen Ruolan and Shen Hui said in unison: "General Qin, sorry to bother you."
Just as they finished greeting each other, Shen Zeyi asked unhappily, "Is it you?"
Qin Zian already knew Shen Zeyi. After hearing his question, he smiled at him and said, "Cousin Zeyi, it's me. Thank you for the food yesterday."
Shen Zeyi was already dissatisfied with Qin Zian, and after hearing him mention what happened yesterday, he became even more dissatisfied with him.
However, although he was dissatisfied, in order not to embarrass his mother, he still politely responded to Qin Zian with a "hmm".
Shen Ruolan listened to the conversation between the two. She looked at them and asked, "Zheyi, do you know Zian?"
Before his brother could speak, Shen Anhe said to his mother, "Mom, this brother is the one who bought vegetables with us yesterday."
Shen Ruolan understood immediately after hearing this. She then looked at Qin Zian and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown up so much and are still so sensible. You are such a good child."
Qin Zian felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He called out to Shen Ruolan shyly, "Auntie Lan"
Then he shouted to Shen Hui and Shen Qi, "Grandfather, third cousin."
"Aunt Lan, grandma, third cousin." As soon as Qin Zian finished speaking, the little girl next to Qin Zhen also imitated her brother and called out to them in a baby voice.
When Shen Ruolan heard the little girl's voice, she squatted down, touched her little head and asked, "You are the cute little Lele, right?"
Qin Yongle nodded vigorously to Shen Ruolan and said, "Yes, I am Lele."
"So good." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she took a bag of candy from Ji Ning, handed it to Qin Yongle and said, "This is the candy that Auntie made specially for you. Take it and eat it with your brother."
Qin Yongle didn't rush to take the things, but looked up at her mother. When she saw her nod, she took the things and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lan."
After she finished speaking, she ran into the house with the candy in her hand. However, before she had run a few steps, she turned back and said to Shen Zeyi and Shen Anhe, "Brother Zeyi, Sister Anhe, you guys come too."
"Okay." When Shen Anhe saw the food, he ran faster than anyone else.
Shen Zeyi didn't want to go at all, but when he saw his sister leaving, he had no choice but to follow her.
Qin Zian was the last to leave.
After Shen Ruolan watched the children enter the mansion, she said to Qin Zhen, "General Qin, your leg is injured, why didn't you send someone to send me a message?"
Qin Zhen said to Shen Ruolan, "I heard that your legs couldn't move, so I didn't send anyone to notify you."
After he finished speaking, he said to Shen Ruolan and the others, "Grandpa, Third Cousin, Ruolan, let's go inside first."
"Okay," Shen Ruolan responded.
Shen Qi and Shen Hui nodded.
After Shen Ruolan followed Qin Zhen and his wife into the house, she couldn't wait to ask, "General Qin, let me see quickly, how is your leg?"
After listening to Shen Ruolan's words, Zhong Lingzhu dismissed everyone and personally poured a cup of tea for everyone before saying to Shen Ruolan, "Sister Lan, I'm afraid your husband's legs will only stay like this for the rest of his life."
Shen Ruolan was slightly stunned and asked, "No chance at all?"
Zhong Lingzhu said with a sad look: "My husband said that only in this way can the Qin family be stable."
Zhong Lingzhu's words made Shen Ruolan understand instantly. It is said that serving a king is like serving a tiger. Qin Zhen will either be useless or...
Shen Ruolan sighed and said to the couple, "Your price is too high."
Qin Zhen smiled indifferently and said, "As long as the whole family is well, that's better than anything else."
Shen Ruolan agreed and said, "General Qin is right. As long as the family is well, it is better than anything else."
Qin Zhen heard Shen Ruolan still call him general, he smiled and said to her: "Ruolan, I am not a general now. You are younger than Zhuzhu. If you don't mind, you can call me brother-in-law, or brother."
