Chapter 2625 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
The next morning, Shi Li called his two half brothers to his presence.
The original owner had always ignored the two of them over the years, and now suddenly sent someone to call them over. The two young men felt very uneasy and stood awkwardly side by side in front of Shi Li.
Although he was well-educated and had a straight back, his ordinary, half-worn clothes and lowered head did not look like the son of a prime minister.
Shi Li sighed slightly in her heart and tried her best to smile, for fear of scaring the two people.
She was in no hurry to talk to the two of them, but said to the maid beside her: "Take my pair of cards first, go to the storehouse to select some new cloth, and make two new sets of clothes for each of the two young masters."
The maid looked at Shi Li in surprise, and seeing that her expression was serious, although she felt strange, she still hurried out to do her work.
But the two half brothers couldn't help but look surprised, wondering what happened to their legitimate sister today.
"I was negligent in the past and never took a good look at you."
Shi Li also knew that it would take time to change the impression, so she just wanted to start over and gently said to her two brothers, "You are my real brothers. Only when you are well and the whole Shi family is well, can I be better."
The two half brothers were flattered and only cautiously called her "elder sister" and did not dare to say any more words.
Shi Li knew that it was impossible to get close to the two of them in one or two days, so she was not in a hurry and just asked them about their homework one by one.
Twelve-year-old Shi Nian answered fairly fluently, but ten-year-old Shi Jiao spoke hesitantly, looked evasive, and felt very inferior.
"From now on, you all come to my school to study, and I will look after you." Shi Li raised his hand and patted the two on the shoulders, finalizing the matter.
After sending the two away, Shi Li asked her maid to push her to see her aunt who lived in a remote place.
Prime Minister Shi had a deep affection for his wife. After giving birth to the original woman, his wife was too injured to get pregnant again. Prime Minister Shi's mother was still alive at the time, and she threatened to die in exchange for the maidservant by her side to be his concubine.
Later, this maid gave birth to Shi Nian and Shi Jiao, fulfilling the old lady's wish. However, she was never favored by Prime Minister Shi and was only arranged to live in the most remote courtyard, with an even less sense of existence than her two sons.
But to be honest, this aunt did nothing wrong. She was just a victim of the trend.
The original owner also felt that she had destroyed the relationship between her parents and treated her the same as her two half-brothers.
Now that Shi Li had suddenly arrived, the aunt who was sitting in the room doing needlework was so frightened that she almost pricked her finger with the embroidery needle. She stood up nervously and looked at Shi Li.
"Miss...Miss." She had always been very cautious in the mansion, fearing that Prime Minister Shi and Shi Li would notice and dislike her, and then implicate the two children. Now that Shi Li took the initiative to appear in front of her, she was frightened.
Shi Li let the maid push her in, smiled and nodded to her aunt, "Aunt, please sit down. I am not able to move around easily, so I won't be polite to you."
The aunt looked at the eldest lady with a gentle smile, not knowing why she suddenly changed her temper today, and sat down again anxiously.
Like his two half-brothers, Shi Li knew that the ice is three feet thick and it did not freeze overnight, so he was not in a hurry to ease the relationship. He just gently asked a few questions about his aunt's current life.
My aunt answered cautiously. Although she was only in her thirties, she had the vicissitudes of a forty-year-old.
"I just got some fashionable cloth and jewelry. Since the weather is nice today, I want to send them to my aunt. My aunt can make a few sets of clothes. When the weather is nice, she can go for a walk in the garden."
The aunt's face showed the same flattered expression as Shi Nian and Shi Jiao.
"Miss, I don't need to. I don't like going out." The aunt explained fearfully.
Shi Li knew that saying too much would only make her more nervous, so she didn't try to persuade her further and just left after leaving her things.
Although the original owner had never bullied or abused the mother and her two children in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, his cold attitude was actually quite intimidating.
Now, if she wants to change this situation, it will not be done overnight.
It's okay, take your time.
When Prime Minister Shi attended the court, he finally realized Lu Shenyuan's humility yesterday.
This time the barbarians on the border were willing to surrender, and Lu Shenyuan was the biggest contributor.
Even though this dynasty valued civil officials over military officials, Lu Shenyuan's achievements at such a young age still won him a lot of praise.
Prime Minister Shi was more calculating than the others, and he squinted his eyes and praised: "Heroes have always emerged from youth, which is true."
No matter how others praised him, Lu Shenyuan remained unmoved. But when he saw that Prime Minister Shi also praised him, the young man rarely showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and bowed to Prime Minister Shi very humbly.
“You are really too kind.”
He was thinking about the girl he had met yesterday.
Before I knew I had an engagement, I had always rejected it in my heart and thought it was ridiculous. So when I came to the capital this time, I wanted to return the jade pendant as soon as possible and put an end to the matter.
but……
Lu Shenyuan is now willing to do so.
But he also felt that with his current status, Shi Li was like the bright moon in the sky, and was really not worthy of him.
There was a gloom in Lu Shenyuan's eyes.
However, he didn't know that Prime Minister Shi had already secretly included him in the list of candidate son-in-law.
