Shen Jiaojiao looked at the little maid, who was holding the chain in the air: "What does this mean? I've never seen it before. Does it have a special meaning?"

She asked somewhat tentatively.

The maid said with a hint of pride, "This was specially made for our young lady by our imperial advisor; it's an abbreviation of her name."

Shen Jiaojiao reached out and handed over the items, tentatively asking, "Who is your Imperial Advisor? Can you tell me?"

The maidservant straightened up when she mentioned the Imperial Advisor, her voice brimming with pride: "Our Imperial Advisor is the most powerful person in the world."

she…"

"What are you doing? Once you've found the stuff, get out of here! The girl is waiting for you!"

Just as the young maid was about to speak, she was interrupted by another maid who came from a distance.

The woman hurriedly apologized to Shen Jiaojiao and ran away.

Now it's certain that this imperial advisor has a problem; he must be from the same place as me.

I just don't know who this person is.

As Shen Jiaojiao watched the two departing figures, she suddenly became interested in the Kingdom of Women.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and there were no unexpected incidents until we returned home.

When Wang saw her beloved daughter return home, she was overjoyed and called her "my darling," which made Shen Jiao Jiao laugh uncontrollably.

"Mom, I'm back. It's been so long since I've come to see you. I've missed you."

"Oh! It's good that you're back! Your father doesn't know you're back yet, call him back right away." As soon as Wang turned her head, Xia Lan had already run away.

He left behind the words, "Madam, I will inform the master immediately."

Wang smiled with satisfaction and quickly took Shen Jiaojiao's hand and led her to the room.

The once quiet mansion suddenly became lively because of Shen Jiaojiao's arrival.

Shen Jiaojiao told Wang about the interesting things that had happened along the way, making Wang laugh heartily.

The atmosphere immediately became more relaxed.

Finally, it was mealtime, and Dongmei came to deliver the message: "Madam, dinner is ready."

Dongmei and Xialan were both people who followed Wang Shi and were very familiar with Shen Jiaojiao. They were very happy to see her return this time.

The smile on her face never stopped, and the food she cooked was all her favorite dishes.

In high spirits, Wang took Shen Jiaojiao's hand and led her to the dining table, only to find that Shen Wanshan had not yet arrived.

She asked Xia Lan, "Xia Lan, why hasn't Master arrived yet?"

Xia Lan was also a little puzzled: "Reporting to Madam, I just relayed a message to Master, and he was very happy at the time. He told me to come back first, and he went to bring some snacks for the Empress."

Upon hearing this, Wang assumed there were too many people buying things and called to Shen Jiaojiao, "My child, let's not wait for him. Let's eat first. It's alright if your father goes hungry for a meal."

Shen Jiaojiao felt something was amiss: "Mother, perhaps we should wait a bit!"

Wang was somewhat displeased. What was this man surnamed Shen up to?

He hadn't come back for so long, leaving his daughter hungry. His tone sharpened slightly: "Listen to me, we're not waiting anymore. If he's hungry, have the kitchen cook something else for him. Let's eat first!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl: "Jiaojiao! Eat quickly."

Once Shen Jiaojiao started eating, she also began to eat.

The two had almost finished eating, but the person still hadn't returned.

Xia Lan noticed that Shen Jiaojiao was a little worried, so she quietly went out to wait at the door.

When she saw the figure in the distance, her eyes widened in surprise.

Behind the master was a heavily pregnant woman, who was crying and sobbing. The master's face was flushed red as he muttered something under his breath.

Xia Lan didn't dare to make a decision and quickly ran back into the house. When she got to the door, she looked at Wang Shi in a panic.

His eyes darted away, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing her expression, Madam Wang knew something was wrong and quickly asked, "Xia Lan, just say what's wrong. There are no outsiders here!"

Xia Lan glanced at Madam Wang before stammering, "Madam, I just saw a pregnant woman following Master at the door... I wonder what's going on. Should we go out and take a look?"

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat; how could those words be so suggestive?

My father is only around forty years old. Could it be that he found another woman and had another son for him?

What about Mother?

She glanced at Wang Shi cautiously and found that her mother was very calm, without a trace of anger on her face.

Shen Jiaojiao tentatively asked, "Mom, did my father do something to wrong you? Don't be too sad, I'll definitely stand by you."

Wang nodded and slowly took a sip of tea: "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

It's really hard to tell what Shen Jiaojiao is feeling.

She stood up and took Wang's hand, her voice filled with urgency as she silently prayed that nothing bad would happen.

Wang remained calm; she wanted to see who dared to challenge her.

Sure enough, I heard a commotion as soon as I got to the door.

Upon arriving at the door, he indeed saw a heavily pregnant woman kneeling there, her face covered in tears, looking pitifully at Shen Wanshan.

A crowd of onlookers gathered around, pointing and whispering about the two.

Shen Wanshan looked puzzled but couldn't explain it, and felt like he wanted to die.

When Shen Jiaojiao appeared with Wang Shi, Shen Wanshan was so excited he almost cried: "Wife! You have to believe me! You've known me all these years, this isn't what you think."

He's really in a hurry!

Wang ignored him, her eyes fixed on the woman kneeling on the ground, thinking to herself, "She's got some skill!"

"Who are you? Why are you kneeling here?"

The woman raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and the tears flowed even more freely: "Madam, please have pity on me! I'm pregnant with Master's child, but he won't acknowledge it and wants to drive me away! Waaah!"

After crying for a minute, she realized that Wang Shi didn't react, so she could only continue her performance: "I am also a girl from a good family. Half a year ago, my master was drinking at Tianxiang Tower. Who knew he would drink too much? He dragged me into the room and did this and that to me. I wanted to resist, but I am a weak woman and my strength did not allow it!"

The moment this explosive news came out, the surrounding area immediately erupted in a frenzy.

They condemned and echoed it.

"Oh! This woman is so pitiful. She was bullied for no reason. What a pity!"

"No matter what, she's pregnant. She should have been recognized when she came to the door in the morning. Why did you stop her at the door?"

"Exactly, she's pregnant! It's not good for her to kneel like that."

"It must have been out of necessity; otherwise, who would want to kneel down so casually?"

Shen Wanshan was furious. This child was clearly not his. He went back to his residence after the banquet that day, and it was not as she described at all.

He was tongue-tied, his mind was full of things to say but he didn't know how to express them, and his face turned red with anger.

Wang calmly asked, "What do you want?"

The woman was surprised that the other party was so understanding, and said somewhat anxiously, "I have no other requests, but I pity my child. I don't want to be born without a father. I am grateful for your kindness, madam. I am content as long as I have food to eat, and I will definitely not compete with you for anything!"
