Chapter 1699 The Shen Family Enters Beijing (2)

Juhua was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Liu Xi to be so capable and invent such an interesting thing. It seems that she underestimated him in the past!

She really liked this kind of car called a bicycle. Although she had enough money to buy a bicycle, she was a woman and riding this kind of car would be very ungentlemanly. Although her father and mother spoiled her, they would not allow her to do such a shameful thing as riding a bicycle.

So, although she liked it, she couldn't buy it, so she had to suppress her eager thoughts...

...

Time passed quickly, and it was already mid-December.

Caiwei and Nangong Yi had returned to the capital a long time ago. As soon as they came back, Caiwei was busy investigating who transferred Lord Shen to the capital. The result of the investigation was exactly the same as she expected. It was indeed the work of the Duke of Liguo.

However, she had made an agreement with Nangong Yi not to interfere with the Duke of Liguo's Mansion to show goodwill to the Shen family and Juhua, but if Juhua was unwilling to marry to the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, the Duke of Liguo could not use his power to force Juhua to marry him, otherwise she would take action.

Because of this agreement, Caiwei had never seen Juhua, but had always sent Parrot to secretly watch her to see what would happen in the Duke of Liguo's Mansion. However, to her surprise, more than a month had passed since Juhua's family came to Beijing, but the Duke of Liguo's Mansion had not made any movement at all, let alone showing goodwill to the Shen family, and even had not seen Juhua once.

This was not very reasonable. Since they had brought Juhua to the capital from afar, why did they avoid seeing her? Could it be that they were dissatisfied with Juhua? Did they not want Juhua anymore? Or was Mo Zili unable to forget Xiangyun and refused to marry Juhua?

In fact, the Duke of Liguo's Mansion did not summon Juhua, not as Xiang Caiwei guessed, but because the people in the mansion were not in the mood to deal with her now.

Not long after Queen Mother Mo passed away, Duke Liguo and his wife were both immersed in the grief of losing their daughter. They both fell ill. Although they were not seriously ill, they were upset and had no mood to see her. The reason why Mo Qingshan and his wife did not see her was because of a more important thing - Mo Zili was ill!

According to the letter sent by the hidden guards who were hiding beside Mo Zili, on that day, Master Li jumped off the cliff alone to save the young lady of the Shen family and saved Miss Shen in the waterfall. Later, the hidden guards lost contact with him for a while, and when they found him again, they were in a Dragon King Temple in the mountains. At that time, it was two or three days since the young master jumped off the cliff to save people. Master Li was unconscious in the ruined temple. It was unknown how long he had been unconscious. If they had not found him in time, I am afraid he would be in danger.

Mo Zili's body was frostbitten when he divorced Xiangyun a year ago, and he was afraid of cold. This time, he didn't dry himself in time to keep warm after falling into the water, and he ran outside to find food, which made him severely frozen again, so his condition became more serious. Although he didn't get sick at that time, the disease that came later was even more fierce. If he hadn't been found by the hidden guards, he would have been buried in the wilderness!

Because Mo Zili was too ill and it was not suitable for him to travel by car, the hidden guards took him back to the nearby Bianzhou Prefecture to recuperate, and sent the news of his serious illness back to the capital.

When Bai and Mo Qingshan learned that their beloved son was seriously ill, they were so distressed that they rushed to Bianzhou as soon as possible, and had no time to care about Chrysanthemum.

Therefore, until now, the Duke of Liguo's Mansion has not made any moves. Caiwei saw that the Duke of Liguo's Mansion had not made any moves for a long time, and thought that they had given up the idea, so she summoned Juhua and Cui to the palace on the day of the New Year's Day and summoned them to Shouxian Palace.

The New Year's Day is the first day of the year, also known as Wushuo, Wuchen, Yuanzheng, etc., which means the beginning of the year. Because the original meaning of "yuan" is "human head", it is extended to "beginning". The original meaning of "dan" is also "beginning". According to the rules of the Great Jin Kingdom, on this day, all the unmarried noble ladies of the Great Jin Kingdom must enter the palace to pay tribute to the Queen, including princesses, county ladies, county ladies, princesses, and daughters of the first and second rank officials.
