Chapter 1956 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

Along the way, Shi Li was absent-mindedly thinking about the letter in his hand and the words on it.

After so many years, she and Gu Jinning had never seen each other again except for the brief encounter six years ago. Although the previous emperor had passed away and the young emperor had ascended the throne, Gu Jinning was still a criminal who could not be seen in public. Now he dared to quietly leave a hand warmer and a letter in his carriage. This was too bold.

The reason why she hid it from Shi Xuan was not because she didn't trust him, but her own mother had asked her to keep her mouth shut, so she had to keep her word.

The carriage carried them and finally arrived at the prosperous capital.

My uncle had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. My aunt hurried towards him with her son and daughter, and the family of four was finally reunited.

Only Shi Li and Shi Xuan stood by, being silently alienated and like outsiders.

They were outsiders.

After a while, my uncle seemed to have just seen them. He let go of his family and walked over, nodding and smiling at them with his hands behind his back.

"You've all grown up, that's great."

After some polite exchanges, we finally arrived at the mansion my uncle had bought in the capital.

It wasn’t too big or too crowded, but Shi Li and Shi Xuan were arranged to live in the side rooms, and their uncle even came over and said to them, “This place is great, just live there with peace of mind.”

The two sisters did not comment. It was not difficult to be picky when living under someone else's roof. However, what their uncle said next made them sad.

"The matter of your parents is a foregone conclusion. Even if I get promoted now, it's not a good idea to mention them. You should try not to go out in the future. It will be bad for everyone if others know your identities."

It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, but the people in front of you are your own mother's relatives, so it is still disheartening to hear them speak like this.

Shi Xuan was a little indignant, and Shi Li quietly pulled her sleeve and shook her head at her.

They all just arrived and had a lot of things to do. They had never thought of relying on others, so they just let their uncle say what he said. There was no need to argue.

After the uncle finished speaking to the two of them, he turned around and acted like a loving father in front of his children.

Especially towards Su Yuan, he treated her as the apple of his eye.

"Yuanyuan is growing up slowly. Dad will definitely carefully select a perfect husband for you."

Su Yuan was still thinking about the person she had met in the inn. She was shy and timid when she heard the words. She pulled her father's sleeve and acted coquettishly, and finally told him about the young man she met in the inn.

Listening to his daughter's story, the uncle only frowned in confusion, unable to guess who the other party was. He just looked at his daughter's face full of hope, and answered her well, saying that he would definitely conduct a thorough inspection.

With this reassurance, Su Yuan was finally satisfied.

Although my uncle's official position was not high, his family had to socialize with people when they came to the capital. After only a few days, the wife of my uncle's colleague sent an invitation, asking my aunt to bring Su Yuan to a banquet.

As always, my aunt didn't want to give anyone a chance to gossip, so she called Shi Xuan and Shi Li over again and falsely asked them to go with her to see the world, but in her heart she hoped they would refuse.

"We appreciate your kindness, Aunt." Shi Xuan refused directly as they had agreed earlier. "Li'er and I have awkward identities, so it's better for us to stay out of the public eye. It's enough for us to know that Aunt loves us."

"You guys... you don't have to be so careful, really!" My aunt pretended to be angry, but her smile was rarely sincere.

This is so great, it saves trouble for both parties.

But she and Su Yuan went out to see the world, and Shi Xuan and Shi Li were not idle either.

They went out almost at the same time. Shi Xuan went directly to meet Han Qin, while Shi Li was finally able to take a look at the shop she had opened in the capital city a long time ago.

The nanny who had been driven out by her aunt earlier was already old and did not come to the capital this time, but stayed in Jiangnan to retire.

But they had also arranged for a trustworthy person to take over the shop in the capital with Shi Li.

As the business grew bigger and bigger, Shi Li felt more confident now that he had money.

She first came to the largest rouge shop. As soon as she walked in, she saw dignitaries in gorgeous clothes coming in an endless stream. It was obvious that the business was very good.

I have to say that there is something interesting about the barrage. The tips she gave have made the shop earn a lot of money in the past few years.

Shi Li did not disturb other people. She quietly found a waiter and showed her the token. The waiter immediately invited her to the second floor and called the shopkeeper over.

When the shopkeeper came, he also brought the account books for the past year and respectfully asked Shi Li to take a look.

Shi Li sat in a quiet private room, looking at the account book carefully.

After sitting for a long time, I felt the room was stuffy, so I opened the window to get some fresh air.

Outside are wide streets and hurried passers-by.

Among them, Shi Li's sight suddenly fell on a different person.
