Although Shen Lingling knew that she might not be able to escape death, she still held on to her last fantasy, hoping that she could make a good contribution to giving birth to her son and save her life.
However, what Zhou Qian said outside at this moment completely cut off her thoughts. He had never thought of sparing her, and planned to silence Po Wen who delivered her baby. How could she escape with such cruelty? Have to take it off?
Shen Lingling's eyes were full of fear, and she collapsed on the ground holding her belly.
Shen Lingling was like a trapped animal, wandering around the house, regretting that she had made a wrong step and exposed her ambitions in front of Zhou Qian, which led to her now having no way out.
She held her big belly and rolled around in agony. It wasn't until late in the afternoon that she was so tired that she lay on the bed and closed her eyes in despair.
"Aunt Shen, this is the stable mother-in-law invited for you." Just as she was dazed, the door opened with a creak, and a bright light came in from outside the house.
"I know." Shen Lingling was lying on the bed, not getting up to look, and responded weakly.
The person who came in was a midwife dressed as an old country woman. I don't know where Zhou Qian's people found them. Behind her was a young girl who was brought by Po Wen to help her.
As soon as they entered the house, they were about to lock the door outside, but Po Wen quickly blocked the door.
"What are you doing with the door closed? This room is so unventilated, it's not good for both the adults and the children in their belly."
"If nothing else, if the mother cannot breathe fresh air and does not have the strength to give birth, problems will easily arise."
When the child was involved, several guards looked at each other for a few times, then retreated to the entrance of the courtyard to guard, leaving the door open.
"Are you pregnant with twins?" Po Wen walked to the bed and talked to Shen Lingling, "If you are pregnant with twins, you can't lie down like this every day. You have to get up and move around to facilitate the birth."
"I'm tired and don't want to move, so don't bother me." Shen Lingling said impatiently.
"That's not possible. If you don't move around, you might have a difficult delivery." Po Wen insisted, "This is my first baby, and there are two more in my belly. I can't take responsibility for anything that goes wrong." Go and help Shen Lingling.
"It doesn't matter whether the baby is born or not, get out of here." Shen Lingling brushed away Wen Po's hand. She was extremely desperate at this moment. If she couldn't give birth, she couldn't give birth. It would be better if mother and son died together.
While I was irritated, a childish and extremely familiar voice sounded in my ears, "As long as I listen to grandma, I will definitely keep you safe, mother and son safe~~'
Shen Lingling's eyes suddenly widened when she heard this voice, with a look of shock on her face.
"You, who are you?" Shen Lingling turned around with a shocked face and stared at the little girl's face.
After a few glances, shock turned to excitement, excitement turned to sadness, and tears burst out of her eyes, "Xiao, Xiaoshi." Standing in front of her was clearly her brother Shen Xiaoshi, Shen Lingling In an instant, she grabbed his arm tightly, her eyes flashed with a thousand words, and her lips were pursed, unable to utter a word.
"Back to Auntie, my name is Xiao Pomegranate." Shen Xiaoshi was dressed as a girl. At an age where his voice had not yet changed, he didn't need to pretend to sound like a little girl. He shook Shen Lingling's wrist tightly and threw another one. The soothing look in her eyes seemed to tell her don't worry, I'm here to save you.
Shen Lingling was so excited that her eyes filled with tears. She had also asked the guards before and learned that her family was wiped out, but her youngest brother escaped.
I never thought that this younger brother would actually dress up as a girl, pierce the Prime Minister's house with such a big thorn, and run to her side. This is really too bold!
No, no, how could an eleven or twelve-year-old child have such courage? Could it be that...
Shen Lingling hurriedly turned her attention to Po Wen who was standing by the bed. She saw that Po Wen looked like an ordinary old woman in the country, but she was still sensitive enough to see something was wrong in her eyes.
So calm!
This is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only is the Prime Minister's Mansion also heavily guarded, something is obviously wrong. She, a country midwife, shouldn't be so calm when seeing this scene.
so.
"Auntie, get up and move around quickly, so that the child can be born well," Shen Xiaoshi said.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Lingling responded obediently, got up from the bed with the help of Mrs. Wen, and then forced herself to calm down and walked out of the house.
There were two maids and a nun standing outside the door, watching them. No matter how many questions they had in their minds, they couldn't ask.
"Auntie, you can't go out, just go around the house." A nun blocked them in the house.
"Then don't leave. I'm tired and just want to lie down and rest." Shen Lingling turned around and walked to the bed again.
She is not stupid. Her brother risked his life and sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion. He sneaked to her side to save her. How could she escape if he couldn't get out of the door?
Upon seeing this, Po Wen picked up her bag and left with Shen Xiaoshi.
"This aunt looks young, and she is the first child and a twin. How can she survive the birth if she is locked up in the house and not allowed to go out and move around?"
"Since I'm like this, I don't dare to take on this job. I'm sorry, nanny, please hire someone else. Let's go, little pomegranate."
"This" several maids and maids looked at each other. This was the Wen Po whom they had finally found. If they let her go, they would not be able to bear the responsibility, so they hurriedly sent someone to ask Zhou Qian for instructions.
Zhou Qianzheng and Wei Xuanyuan were discussing important matters in the study. After hearing the report, they told their subordinates to send more people to guard outside the courtyard and agreed that Shen Lingling could move around freely in the courtyard.
At first, when Shen Lingling was walking in the courtyard, the maids and maids followed suit, but gradually they relaxed.
After six or seven days like this, Shen Lingling found an opportunity to whisper to Shen Xiaoshi.
"Xiao Shi, what's going on? Who killed my parents and eldest brother? Who is going to save me?" Shen Lingling was full of doubts. They had no relatives in the capital. Who would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to save her? ?
"It was Prime Minister Zhou who sent people to kill our whole family." A trace of hatred flashed in Shen Xiaoshi's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I escaped from death and was saved by Brother Yong Lu. I have been staying in Prince Xuan's Mansion ever since. It was I who begged His Highness Prince Xuan. Came to save you.'
After hearing this, Shen Lingling fell into deep thought.
King Xuan is a member of the Night King. She and the Night King and Princess Ye had a very unhappy time in Shenjia Village because of their relationship with their sister Shen Youyou. Why did they want to save her? Are they so kind?
Is it because you know Prime Minister Zhou’s secret?
"Xiao Shi, does His Highness Prince Xuan know that Prime Minister Zhou killed our whole family?" Shen Lingling looked at Shen Xiaoshi with questioning eyes.
Shen Xiaoshi nodded, "Prime Minister Zhou is searching for me everywhere. If I don't tell the truth, he won't protect me."
"King Xuan is not a good person either. He must be trying to get some useful words out of me to help them, so he helps us like this."
Shen Lingling's eyes turned cold, and she looked at Shen Xiaoshi with the corner of her mouth raised, "I have a big secret here, but I won't tell it easily." At this moment, Shen Lingling's eyes swept over someone coming over, and she said hurriedly, "Save your life first, wait until King Xuan rescues me."
