"Not everything must have an answer. There is no need to hide what happened tonight. Just report it based on the facts."
Wei Heyan put his palm on her forehead and helped her relax her frown.
"Just a little eunuch can't shake my status. Instead, it will make Emperor Yao hate the person who designed this assassination even more. Didn't Emperor Yao want to build momentum for King Rong? I also added some firewood to the fire to make it burn brighter. "
Si Yiluo covered his eyes with his palms and couldn't see the playful smile on his face, but he could hear the madness in his words.
If Zhou Rong's assassination was a trap, no matter who set it up, now that there are more people involved, the situation will become more complicated. A proper show of weakness will arouse sympathy, but if it goes beyond this point, what kind of situation will it cause? Not sure.
"Is Zhou Rong directing and acting himself? Let's find a chance to test it out..."
…
It was daylight, and two carriages stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time.
Shen Moran got out of the car and took Shen Mingshu's hand affectionately.
"I just met my sister yesterday, and I miss her again today. Let's go in together."
Shen Mingshu was very resistant to her enthusiasm and wanted to withdraw her hand. Zhou Yu covered her lips and coughed lightly to remind her. She immediately gave up the action, but her body stiffened and the expression on her face looked very unnatural.
Compared with Shen Moran, who was calm and calm... Zhou Yu lowered his head and was filled with emotion.
"Seventh brother has gotten better recently and looks good."
Zhou Zhan's face was rosy. He had heard rumors several times before that he would not survive. His eyes fell unconsciously on Shen Moran who was walking in front. Since she married into Prince Zhan's palace, the frail and sick Prince Zhan is now able to leave the city. It’s spring outing.
"It's not that easy. It's just that the weather has warmed up recently and I feel a little lighter, so I want to go out for a walk. Fifth brother, please."
The two brothers are really eye-catching when put together. Zhou Yu is personable, gentle and elegant, while Zhou Zhan has a sickly look and is so weak that it makes people pity them.
"Where's daddy?"
"The master is waiting for your two highnesses in the study."
Shen Mingshu raised her feet and was about to go over to say hello. Shen Moran held her back and said as an excuse: "Let's wait for a while before going over to say hello. Dad and the two highnesses must have something to say. Let's go to mother's place."
Shen Mingshu didn't want to go, but her husband didn't object, and she didn't dare to make her own decision.
"I learned that my sister is coming back. Mingheng didn't go to school today. It's been a long time since you and your sister have seen each other, so it's time to talk."
Shen Mingshu and Shen Mingheng have the same mother. As the eldest son of Shen Mingheng, Shen Panxing attaches great importance to his studies and agreed to his request for leave today with the intention of getting him closer to his two sisters.
For the sake of Shen Moran, Du temporarily eased the relationship with Shen Panxing, and Shen Panxing took the opportunity to record Shen Mingheng in Du's name and asked her to teach her.
Finding opportunities to find opportunities has always been Shen's strong point.
Du family sent Wei family to welcome the two of them.
"Mommy, how is your health? Are you still taking medicine?"
Mrs. Wei was half a step behind and replied: "Mr. Lu comes to the house every half month to check Madam's pulse. Madam's health is much better than usual. Princess, don't worry, my slave will prepare the medicine in person every time."
Shen Moran hummed, and then asked about Mrs. Du's daily life, detailing everything. When asked, Ms. Wei smiled and joked: "I'll see you soon. The princess can't even wait for a cup of tea. The relationship between your mother and daughter The affection is so enviable!”
Du Shi couldn't hold back her excitement and came out of the house to greet her.
"mother."
Shen Moran rushed over, and the mother and daughter led each other into the house.
The warmth beside her suddenly disappeared. Shen Mingshu looked at the familiar scenery in the yard and thought of Aunt Shen. When Aunt Shen was here, she was the one who was held in the palm of her hand. Now, she can only watch other mothers and daughters getting close...
"Second sister."
Shen Mingheng came up from the side wearing a loose Confucian shirt.
"Mingheng."
The young man was holding a pile of homework and seemed to be quite unfamiliar with her.
"Go to my room."
Shen Mingshu touched the tears in her eyes with a handkerchief, and Shen Mingheng hesitated a little.
"But second sister, I haven't finished the homework assigned by my husband. Dad only allowed me half a day off. If I can't hand it in in the afternoon, my husband will slap my palm again."
Shen Mingshu's brother's attitude toward her now made Shen Mingshu hate Du Shi and winked at Alian.
Alian stepped forward and took the book in his arms.
"I am your biological sister. I finally came back and wanted to talk to you, but you just don't give me face? Or do you think you won't recognize me as your sister in the future? You will only recognize Shen Moran as your sister?"
She had endured the grievance just now, but now she suddenly felt particularly aggrieved. Shen Mingheng was afraid that she would cry, so he hurriedly said: "No, second sister, I didn't mean it. Don't cry! We are from the same mother, so of course I only recognize you. This sister..."
The conversation between the two was clearly heard in the courtyard. Shen Moran used the lid to scrape the floating tea leaves in the cup and said: "Mom, Shen Mingheng is just a white-eyed wolf who is not well-bred, why bother asking for trouble!"
Mrs. Du looked at her lovingly, then turned to tell Ms. Wei: "Yihan, go to the kitchen to see if the snacks that Miss likes to eat are ready, and bring some over."
Mrs. Wei responded and went out, asking Bitao to guard the door. It was just an excuse to get snacks, and the mother and daughter wanted to talk in private.
Du Shi sighed: "I was originally worried that you would not have a brother to help you and would have no backer in the future, so I agreed to your father to raise him in my name. Although he was not raised well, I have no legitimate son, and your father attaches great importance to him. This Although the child is not smart, with your father watching over him, he doesn't have any evil intentions from Aunt Shen and his daughter."
"It's enough to just maintain the surface of kindness and filial piety. I don't want anything from him."
Shen Moran couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Shen Mingheng in her previous life. Shen Ganxing could climb up from a poor family step by step, and he was not lacking in scheming and cleverness. However, Shen Mingheng might be like his mother, stupid, not good at homework, but always self-righteous. Shen An was so angry that he jumped up and down.
He had a lot of thoughts in front of Du Shi, but Du Shi could make him say that he had no bad intentions... He still had some ability!
"Knowing people but not their hearts, Mom, you still have to be careful, maybe he is just faking it. Don't worry, Mom, I don't need a backer, I can still be your backer in the future!"
Mrs. Du now only lives for her daughter, and she will listen to whatever her daughter says.
But it was obviously not just because of this incident that she sent Wei away. Shen Moran picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Um..." Du Shi hesitated and looked like it was difficult to speak. His eyes fell on her belly and asked, "Aran, it has been more than half a year since you married into Prince Zhan's palace. Isn't there any movement in your belly?"
Shen Moran spit out all the tea in a mouthful, which made her cough violently.
"Should we invite Dr. Lu to come and take a look?" Afraid of spreading the word, which would bring bad reputation to her, Du added, "Just tell me that my mother is not feeling well, and let Dr. Lu take a look at you quietly!"
"Mother!" Shen Moran put the tea cup on the table and wiped the tea stains on the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Mother, your highness and I are still young, so we can't rush this matter."
"Why aren't you in a hurry!" Mrs. Du saw that she didn't understand, so she counted on her fingers, "You are still young, what if you are still unable to conceive? Can the royal family allow King Zhan to have no queen? Then he will inevitably marry his side wife. Concubine. I see that you two have a good relationship. If another woman comes to compete with you, you will feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly!"
Women understand women better, and no matter how generous a woman is, she doesn’t like to share her husband with others.
"What if these women give birth to children before you, just like now, Shen Mingheng is in my name, but he is not close to me, and there are several layers between mother and child. Not only can't he be relied upon to support him in old age, but he has to be prepared. Hold him..."
"What if, another woman is determined to kill you and take over... How can you, a mother like me, rest assured when you don't have a child by your side?"
The more Mrs. Du talked, the more she realized that her worries were justified, and she advised earnestly, "If you don't worry about the future, you will have immediate worries, and you can't avoid medical treatment even if you hide your illness. Just be obedient and let Dr. Lu come over and take a look, so that my mother can feel at ease." Some……"
