"After I said so much, you heard about the marriage proposal?" Li Zian chuckled, "It seems I'm not the only one who is worried."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Tianshu pushed him, "You spoke so quietly before, I didn't hear anything clearly."
"I didn't hear clearly, why are my ears still red?" Li Zian reached out and touched her earlobe lightly.
"It's not all your fault..." Shen Tianshu was really embarrassed to say such words because he was blushing by the hot breath he breathed out.
The two of them whispered outside for a long time, until the maid had no choice but to find her and said: "Miss Shen, the princess has woken up from a nightmare and is looking for you!"
Shen Tianshu quickly pushed Li Zian away, stood up and said, "Go back to bed quickly. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
The two of them are now in the same position as the elders of the palace, and the people in the other courtyard are all well-informed and trustworthy.
So starting from the next day, anyone with eyes can see that Li Zian has stopped covering up at all and is extremely sticky to Shen and Tianshu.
Whenever Shen Tianshu refused, he would look pitiful and say, "But after I return to the city, I won't be able to see you every day."
Even Li Zihan could tell that the atmosphere between the two was different from before, and asked strangely: "Brother, don't you have anything else to do? Why do you follow us every day?"
Li Zian bent down and picked up his sister and asked, "Zihan, do you like Sister Shen?"
"Of course I like it!" Li Zihan said immediately, "I like it as much as I like my big brother!"
"Then how about letting Sister Shen be your sister-in-law from now on?"
"Why are you telling your child this?" Shen Tianshu was embarrassed.
Li Zihan thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked: "Is it like Yuexuan's eldest brother and sister-in-law? If two people want to be together every day, will they have a baby?"
Tong Yan Wuji, Shen Tianshu already wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Li Zian laughed loudly and said, "Yes! Are you willing?"
Unexpectedly, Li Zihan suddenly shook his head and said: "Not good!"
"Uh? Why is it bad?" Li Zian was confused by her words, "Don't you like Sister Shen very much?"
Li Zihan said seriously: "Because Yuexuan's eldest brother and sister-in-law moved out after they got married, she doesn't get to see them a few times throughout the year.
"I don't want my eldest brother to move out, and I don't want to see Sister Shen only a few times a year. And when you have a baby, you won't have time to play with me."
After listening to his sister's reasons, Li Zian smiled even more happily, nodded her forehead and said: "Don't worry, my eldest brother won't move out after he gets married. Then you will be able to see Sister Shen every day, even if we don't Even if we have a baby, we will still love you just as much. If you don’t believe me, just ask Sister Shen.”
Hearing that Li Zian had brought the topic directly to him, Shen Tianshu was so angry that he wanted to hit him a few times.
But looking at Li Zihan's innocent big black and white eyes, he could only nod his head casually.
"Great!" Li Zihan actually asked, "When can sister-in-law be my sister-in-law?"
Shen Tianshu finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and left with a red face.
Li Zian followed behind with his sister in his arms, laughing so loudly.
After the two of them rested in the palace villa for a few days, and gradually recovered a little, Princess Fengrong began to make arrangements to return to the city.
Prince Rui's condition must continue to be concealed, and living in another hospital will easily arouse suspicion.
However, how to keep the news secret after returning home is also a big test for everyone in the palace.
After following the convoy back to Wuchang Mansion, Shen Tianshu did not go to the Wang Mansion again, but directly took the people and car back to Shen Mansion.
"The eldest lady is back!" When the servant saw Shen Tianshu, he saluted hurriedly, opened the door, and lowered the threshold to let the carriage in.
At the second gate, Shen Tianshu got out of the driveway: "Mingyu, you watch them unload their luggage. I'll go visit my grandmother first. Yun'er, you follow."
Xie Yun no longer continues to be a secret guard, so naturally she can no longer bear the word "thank you".
After being away from home for so long, I brought back a maid when I came back. Naturally, I had to go to Mrs. Shen to say hello and inform her.
Someone had already gone to the old lady's room in advance to deliver the message.
When Shen Tianshu brought Xie Yun over, he saw Chunlan waiting for him at the door.
"The big girl is back." Chunlan's expression was a little strange.
After Shen Tianshu noticed it keenly, he cast a questioning look at her.
However, Chunlan avoided Shen Tianshu's gaze and said with a smile: "The old lady is already waiting for the eldest girl in the house. You have been out for so long this time and haven't even come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone in the family misses you so much!"
Although Chunlan said this, Shen Tianshu felt that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right as soon as he entered the door.
Mainly because Mrs. Shen's expression was a little complicated, but she didn't look unhappy.
"Grandma, I'm back." Shen Tianshu stepped forward, bowed, and introduced, "This is Yun'er, the maid given to her granddaughter by the Dowager Empress."
Old Mrs. Shen's mind was obviously not on this. She glanced at Xie Yun and said noncommittally: "The people in the hands of the concubine must be useful. You just have to treat others well."
"Yes." Shen Tianshu stood up and sat down next to him, "When my granddaughter comes back this time, the concubine and princess have asked her to bring supplements to grandma. After they pack their luggage, I will bring them to you later."
"I'm really grateful to the concubine and the princess for still thinking about my old bones. I will go to the palace in person to thank you later." Old Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "But there is no need to rush to get it at this moment."
Old Mrs. Shen said: "Actually, there have been some changes at home during the time you have been away."
Shen Tianshu was stunned and asked: "What change?"
"You also know that your uncle has been in poor health. He has sought medical advice from many sources in his hometown, but has not seen any improvement.
"I received a letter from my hometown a while ago, saying that your uncle's condition has become serious again, which has made me very worried.
"Later, your father suggested that Mrs. Tong is very skilled in medicine and has a good reputation. It would be better to take your uncle over and try to find a way to ask Mrs. Tong to show him.
"So while you were away, I sent your uncle and aunt over, and now they live across the courtyard from me."
"It's a good thing that uncle can come. If the disease can be cured, grandma can also be cured, but it will be a worry."
Shen Tianshu didn't understand why Mrs. Shen said so solemnly. She almost thought Shen Zhonglei had taken advantage of her absence to remarry someone else!
"Although my father has been working as an official away from home, he actually cares about my uncle's health. Every year during the Boxing Day and New Year's Day, he never forgets to prepare some medicinal materials for his health. I will definitely be very happy for my uncle to come over."
"Yes!" Old Mrs. Shen's tone became more and more complex, which seemed to be mixed with sadness that Shen Tianshu couldn't understand, "Your uncle and your father's brothers have always had a very good relationship."
Shen Tianshu couldn't read Mrs. Shen's expression, so he subconsciously looked at Chunlan with the corner of his eye.
I found that although Chunlan tried hard to control her expression, the complex emotions in her eyes could not be concealed.
What the hell is going on?
Shen Tianshu became more and more puzzled.
"Since the uncle and aunt are here, as a junior, I should go and pay a visit."
But Mrs. Shen, who has always been the most disciplined person, said: "You have just come back and you have worked hard all the way. Go back early and rest."
"Your uncle is not in good health and needs some self-cultivation, so there is no need to pay a special visit to him.
"When your father comes back tonight, we can all have dinner together."
Shen Tianshu smiled and said, "Okay, after all, I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for many years."
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Shen's mood became even more complicated.
Glancing at her bright face that couldn't be concealed even without makeup, Mrs. Shen waved her hands tiredly and said: "Go, go! I'm tired too, I need to take a rest!"
