Marry a Duke

Chapter 318: Abuse of Power for Personal Benefits

Shen Yan went into the backyard and did not come out for a long time. His two colleagues waited for a while and then the dishes were served. They waited for a long time without seeing him, so they ate first.

After all, lunch time cannot be too long so as not to affect what you need to do in the afternoon.

By the time they both finished their meal, Shen Yan still hadn't come out.

One of them decided to go to the backyard to look for someone.

"If Lord Shen doesn't come out, can we go back?"

"I have to go back. If Lord Shen is still working, calling him would disturb him. If I don't call him, it would delay the afternoon's work."

Fortunately, Shen Yan came out.

He also knew that it wouldn't be good to take too long.

"Master Shen, we haven't seen you out for a long time. We have already had dinner. Please eat something quickly. It's getting late. We should go back."

"Yes, Lord Shen, if you are any later, the food will all be cold." Lord Wu took a look inside. How could they not know that Lord Shen was pursuing his ex-wife? Unfortunately, she did not treat him well for the time being. "If Lord Shen has any private matters to attend to, we can ask for leave for him in the afternoon."

Shen Yan wiped his face.

"No need, we'll leave now."

"Lord Shen hasn't had his meal yet," said Lord Wu.

"I'm not hungry." There was no time and he had no appetite.

Shen Yan went to pay the bill and was about to leave when Fu Ran came out with a food box in his hand.

"Cousin, you haven't eaten lunch yet. Take this lunch box back and eat it. Don't starve yourself, or your aunt will be worried." Fu Ran said.

Shen Yan glanced at the food box and then looked towards the backyard.

Fu Ran winked at him.

Wei Lin asked.

Shen Yan curled his lips.

Take the food box.

"Thank you, cousin."

He felt happier, and Wei Lin asked him if he had eaten.

So, I'm still worried about him.

The lunch business is very good, with many people coming and going, and people in the store take turns. However, they have a special private room that is not open to the public.

They usually use it themselves.

They had lunch in that private room.

Wei Lin seemed a little absent-minded.

Qingyin collected money for an hour and was really tired.

However, I have money to earn and I feel good.

She didn't feel tired either.

"Linlin, don't you have an appetite? I saw Shen Yan coming just now, and he didn't seem to eat much. When the market closed, there was still a lot left." Qingyin asked her.

Shen Yan went to the backyard and she saw it, but she didn't know what Shen Yan said to Wei Lin.

I hope we didn't quarrel.

"Did your cousin annoy you?" Fu Ran helped Wei Lin fill a bowl of soup. "If he annoyed you and made you unhappy, tell me and I will complain to my aunt."

Wei Lin was a little annoyed.

"Shen Yan doesn't have any major problems." Wei Lin knew that most of the things in the past were her fault, and Shen Yan had always indulged her and was a good husband. Later, they divorced because of a quarrel, and he didn't really want to marry Yuchi Xinxin.

Besides, the two of them didn't sleep together.

She was just a little angry.

She is such a proud person.

If she really goes back on her old ways, what will others say about her?

After these words were spoken, Qingyin and Furan looked at each other. It turned out that this was what the young lady thought.

"Linlin, Shen Yan is a good man. During the years you and he were married, he has always been very good to you. This is the most important thing. He has never changed."

"Yes, don't always be afraid of what others say. We live our own lives, so why bother about what others think? We don't live for them. Let them say whatever they want. They have their mouths, so we just have to ignore them. It's just a waste of their saliva." Fu Ran knew that Wei Lin had the same idea.

Although she swore at the beginning that she would never go back to her old ways in this life.

She simply doesn't like people like Shen Yan.

But she still remembered the old friendship.

She simply doesn't care about others.

"Yes, Linlin, you have to seize the present moment. Look at me and your elder brother, we don't have the chance even if we want to." Qingyin has now slowly repaired her heart.

Hide Wei Qing at the deepest part of your heart.

Don't let yourself suffer easily.

She knew that if Wei Qing were still alive, he wouldn't want to see her suffer for him.

"Sister-in-law..." Wei Lin's face changed slightly, "Don't think too much."

"I didn't think too much about it, really." Qingyin comforted her, "I just don't want you to miss it again. Life is short, you have to cherish it. If you really want it, don't worry about anything else."

Fu Ran gave Qingyin a deep look.

Thinking that Qingyin will live a lonely life all her life, I feel really sad.

Fortunately, Qingyin has gradually come to terms with it.

Gradually coming into contact with the outside world, she will find people and things she can rely on.

"Since my sister-in-law has said so, what else do you have to worry about?"

Wei Lin stopped talking and told them to eat quickly.

"I'll give him a chance, but he won't succeed easily."

They returned home before dinner. The dinner restaurant was very busy and it was too late when they finished. In the afternoon, they went to the hot pot and barbecue shops. Since they were reopened after being destroyed by the eldest princess last time, the business has been booming.

Taiwei opened two stores based on their model. They looked similar, but the business was much worse.

One store has been open for two months but has been unable to continue operating and is about to close down.

Before dinner, they returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Wei Xuan has returned home and is playing with Wuyou and Nian'er.

Fu Ran's eyes lit up.

It's so rare that he would come back so early.

"Second brother, did the sun rise from the west today? Why did you come back so early? Do you have nothing to do?" Wei Lin shouted.

Wei Lin rolled her eyes at her.

"There are so many people in Dayue, and everything depends on me alone. What hope is there for Dayue?" He snorted coldly.

"That's right. You are the Duke of the State. What if you work yourself to death? That would be a relief." Wei Lin chuckled.

"Shen Yan will be promoted in a few days. I will transfer him to the cabinet, and he will work with me in the future." He knew that Shen Yan wanted to get back together with Wei Lin recently.

Shen Yan is also a useful person.

Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents.

"Why are you telling me this?" Wei Lin avoided her gaze.

"I didn't tell you." Wei Xuan was the kind of person who didn't give face. "I told your second sister-in-law."

Wei Lin was almost unable to hold back her shame.

"you--."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, he did it on purpose." Fu Ran comforted her.

Wei Lin snorted and decided not to bother with him.

"When he is transferred to the cabinet, let him inherit the title of Duke of Shen."

Wei Lin's expression did not change this time, and she immediately ran to his side.

"Is this considered abusing your power for personal gain? The late emperor repeatedly refused to allow Shen Yan to inherit the title. He simply intended to stop the Shenguo Mansion from being passed down." Wei Lin was still a little angry.

It wasn't easy for the old Duke Shen. He worked so hard to build up his family business, but in the end, it wasn't allowed to be passed down to others.

"So what if it's a plot?" Wei Xuan didn't even raise his eyelids.

"Good plan." Wei Lin gave him a thumbs up.
