Shen Moran never dreamed that her own mother would be more anxious than her.
"Mom, I've seen the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor told me that I'm still young and I really shouldn't be anxious about having a baby!"
It was a lifelong regret that she could not have a child of her own in her previous life. After marrying Zhou Zhan in this life, she saw an imperial doctor and took medicine for a period of time.
Later, I decided that it would be better not to have children, so as not to tie me down and bring a little life into the world when I am too busy to take care of myself, which would only increase my sins.
"So, His Highness King Zhan has a problem..."
Du Shi's words were not surprising, but Shen Moran was so surprised that he opened his mouth half-open, and sighed in confusion: "Mom, you are overthinking, there is no problem with both of us."
"Then why is there no news yet..."
Her husband's family didn't push her, but her own mother pushed her into labor first. Shen Moran didn't want to dwell on this issue.
"Mom, just take care of yourself. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine..."
Shen Mingshu returned to the room, kicked out all the people waiting on her, and asked nervously: "Mingheng, did Mrs. Du bully you when I wasn't here?"
His sister's worry made the boy feel warm in his heart.
"Second sister, don't worry. I am the eldest son of the family after all. As long as Mrs. Du doesn't want to fall out with my father, she won't do anything to me. Moreover, she has not cared about the child in the house for many years and has no rights in her hands. I will just follow her in front of outsiders. She maintains the image of a loving mother and a filial son, but she can’t control me in private!"
Shen Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
Considering how much her father valued Mingheng, the entire prime minister's house would belong to her younger brother in the future. Shen Mingshu understood that the prerequisite for Zhou Yu to treat her well was that she had a strong natal family who could help him.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is in the hands of her father. She and Shen Moran are both daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if her father dotes on her, his kindness to her is limited. When her younger brother takes over the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, she will really have a backer.
"Are you busy in school? Why have you lost weight again? How are you taking care of the people around you? How about I arrange for two girls to come back and take care of you..."
Shen Mingheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you second sister for your kindness, but my father said that I will be arranged to study at the Imperial College next month, and I can only take one student with me."
The Imperial College was full of descendants of high-ranking officials and powerful families. Shen Mingshu warned: "When the time comes, make more friends, and don't just sit back and study."
The friends you make now will be a help in the future, the siblings understand this tacitly.
"Don't worry, second sister."
study.
The three of them, Weng and son-in-law, sat together for the first time.
"The eldest brother was assassinated. Logically speaking, we, as younger brothers, should come to visit him, but we were afraid of disturbing the eldest brother's recovery... I heard that when the eldest brother was in trouble, the seventh brother happened to bump into him, and he helped the eldest brother escape. I didn't know that at that time What's the situation?"
Except for Si Yiluo, only people under Zhou Zhan saw the situation at that time. Now there are many rumors outside. If you can't get the news from Si Yiluo, you can only get it from Zhou Zhan.
Zhou Zhan came to your door today just to clear up your doubts.
"The weather has been nice recently. Aran and I were planning to go out for an outing in the city, and we happened to meet the boss. Aran and Mr. Si have a good relationship, so we agreed to camp by the river together."
"While playing around, my cousin was so playful that she competed with the people around Mr. Si on horseback, and then she saw the scene where my elder brother was assassinated. At that time..."
Zhou Zhan kept talking, which made everyone anxious. It took him a cup of tea to explain the whole story clearly. Zhou Yu and Shen Panxing looked at each other.
A lot of information can be extracted from his words. The first one is that the relationship between Shen Moran and Si Yiluo is much closer than what everyone sees. If Zhou Zhan is in good health, Si Yiluo might support him...
Second, the situation was so critical at that time. Zhou Rong was left with only Princess Rong and a bodyguard. Facing more than a dozen killers, if Si Yiluo had not appeared in time, would Zhou Rong have died?
The third point is, is it a bitter trick that he himself sang or is someone really trying to assassinate him?
No one pays attention to Zhou Zhan's role in it. Anyway, he has been used to being ignored for many years and now enjoys this feeling very much.
Watching the lawsuit between Shen Panxing and Zhou Yu.
"My father asked the palace attendant to send me a message yesterday, asking me not to have any scruples and to visit my eldest brother. Fifth brother, why don't we make an appointment to visit my eldest brother's house?"
Even when he is sitting next to himself, he is very cautious when speaking. In contrast, Zhou Zhan speaks straightforwardly and does not seem to be thoughtful.
Zhou Yu glanced at Shen Panxing out of the corner of his eye and saw the other party nodded slightly before agreeing.
"Well, if seventh brother's body can bear the pain, why not do it tomorrow."
Zhou Zhan coughed a few times and responded: "Okay. Father-in-law, fifth brother, I can't sit still anymore. You continue..."
His body was so heavy that Chen Xing had seen it before, and he was about to fall down immediately. Shen Jinxing quickly ordered his servants to take him down to rest.
Zhou Yu asked: "Father-in-law, my father obviously only believes that the seventh brother will not murder his eldest brother. If I follow him to visit, will it really not arouse my father's suspicion?"
Shen Panxing stroked his beard and thought for a long time before he said: "It's hard to say this. The last time King Chen fell into the water was an accident. Even if the emperor is suspicious, he can't be convicted if nothing is found."
"But this time, dozens of killers killed all the guards and servants of Prince Rong's Mansion. But for such a big case, you can't convict based on suspicion alone. Evidence needs to be produced."
"By visiting His Royal Highness Prince Rong openly, you are also showing the Emperor that this matter has nothing to do with you. As long as your heart is open and honest, there is no need to worry. Unless..."
His voice changed.
Zhou Yu hurriedly explained.
"This matter really has nothing to do with my son-in-law!"
It is not good for him and can easily cause him trouble. Unless he has a bad brain, he would do such a thing that is harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.
But he did feel guilty. This matter had nothing to do with him. It didn't mean that the previous matter had nothing to do with him. It was just that Shen Panxing didn't know about it.
"Father-in-law, who do you think will be the person who assassinates my elder brother this time?"
Everyone's first reaction is Zhou Chen, but the more likely it is, the less likely it is to do it. It would be better to kill the person, but now that the person is not dead, the consequences are too great.
Even if Zhou Chen is a brainless person, the staff and subordinates around him will still persuade him.
He had also doubted Zhou Rong's self-directed and self-acted ruse, but Zhou Zhan's words just now made him think it was impossible. If the ruse was done to this extent, he would be dead if he was not careful.
Shen's case made him the prime minister, and he was better informed than Zhou Yu.
"Last night, Si Yiluo set up a trap to lure the person behind the scheme to show up. As a result, a young eunuch from Dongchang appeared and burned the killer's body."
Shen Jiaxing stroked his beard, "The two parties in the palace were about to have a quarrel, so I took the opportunity to hide for a while. Si Yiluo has been in the limelight from last year to this year. The young man is young and energetic, and always wants to take advantage of the opportunity. Challenge Wei Heyan..."
The topic suddenly turned to Si Yiluo. Shen Panxing never talked nonsense. Is there any connection?
"Now no one cares about who assassinated King Rong..."
Wei Heyan had no grievances against Zhou Rong, and it was even more impossible to plot to assassinate him. He used a young eunuch to ignite the conflict between Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, making the water even more muddy.
Since Zhou Rong is not the winner, who is the winner?
