Chapter 159 What if it's a mistake?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes darkened, staring at Shen Lingshu's face and asked, "Isn't it you?"

"Impossible, Your Highness, this belongs to my younger sister. This silk cord is a family heirloom of the Song family."

Shen Lingyi on the side said anxiously, she didn't care what happened to Shen Lingshu in the future, it would be best if she was discovered by Prince Lin, it would be best if she died!

"Sister, I remember that before, you also received many sachets from me, and you even gave them away out of disdain?"

"Could it be that you once gave this thing to someone else?"

Shen Lingshu's face was full of sincerity, and she didn't take the Crown Prince's savior seriously at all.

"impossible."

Shen Lingyi denied it quickly. She had seen it with her own eyes at the time. However, how much benefit could the Crown Prince's savior get in the future?

"Your Highness, if I'm really your savior, I'd be overjoyed. How could I deny it?"

Shen Lingshu was extremely calm.

"You were ill that year." The prince's eyes deepened slightly. He had always been sure that she was his savior, but now, she actually denied it?

"When I was a child, I was in poor health. I was often sick every three days and every five days."

Shen Lingshu smiled, her eyes seemed to say, she had been sick before, wasn't that normal?

"But, at that time, the weather was very hot, but you got the water sickness."

Shen Lingyi didn't dare to say that she had seen it with her own eyes, otherwise, if she said she didn't know, wouldn't she be deceiving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

So, Shen Lingyi changed her words.

"Sister, you're so weird. If I really saved His Royal Highness, why wouldn't you acknowledge me?"

Shen Lingshu tilted her head and asked.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go in now."

A maid's voice came from the door. Chu Cong glanced at her coldly and said, "Go and ask the concubine to come out."

"Second brother, come in."

When the prince's voice sounded, Chu Cong's eyes sank slightly. After entering the house, his eyes swept over her and fell on the slightly messy hair on her temples.

"Big brother."

Chu Cong saluted and stood aside with Shen Lingshu, saying, "I wonder if Concubine Shen has finished speaking? An An and Bei Bei are looking for their mother everywhere."

Babies under one year old are usually taken care of by wet nurses. It is naturally impossible for An An Bei Bei to find his mother...

"In that case, please go back quickly, second brother, and don't let my niece suffer any injustice."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a cup of tea, and did not continue the previous topic.

After Shen Lingshu escaped, she immediately looked at Chu Cong and said impatiently, "My elder sister is so strange. She insisted that it was I who saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But, how could I have saved anyone?"

"You also said that you stole my position as concubine."

"Also, the prince took an old sachet. The stuff is mine, but my elder sister has lost a lot of them in the past. It's not my fault at all."

Shen Lingshu confessed everything that had just happened to her without missing a word. She patted her chest and looked at Chu Cong worriedly and said, "Your Highness, I hope I have not caused trouble for you, Your Highness."

She looked anxious, like a frightened little deer. Chu Cong put his arm around her waist, holding her close to him. He raised his hand and gently scratched her nose, saying, "Don't worry. I'm here to keep you safe."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind."

Shen Lingshu's eyes were full of trust, without even a hint of doubt.

Chu Cong told her to check on his two daughters, and he immediately looked at Qing Wu. Qing Wu said, "Your Highness, I will go check right away."

After saying that, Qingwu immediately released the little pigeon.

"Have someone prepare a carriage and return to the palace."

Chu Cong spoke, and while he had someone escort Shen Lingshu to the carriage, he went to find the prince in person, only to find that the prince had already left. Chu Cong didn't care, and he immediately took people back to the Linwang Mansion.

Youlan Courtyard.

When Shen Lingshu returned to this familiar place, she had no time to introduce it to Madam Cui. Ginger soup, bathing and changing clothes, especially for the two children, were the top priority. She was worried that the two children who were exposed to the rain would get sick.

Madam Cui took care of the two children and quickly brought people to prepare the children.

Shen Lingshu breathed a sigh of relief. In the following days, the prince was so busy that it seemed as if he could not be found. Whether it was the spring sowing or now, Chu Cong did it all by himself.

Shen Lingshu sent Zhuxin to take Madam Cui to see her mother, and then settled her in the farm, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, the concubine sent someone to ask about the Madam Cui who was brought into the mansion. She needs to report to the concubine."

Zhu Xin whispered, "The concubine wouldn't still want to get the indenture contract, would she?"

"How could Aunt Cui have a body selling contract?"

Shen Lingshu raised an eyebrow and said, "You didn't tell the concubine that you were a guest?"

"I did, but the concubine said that no guest in the mansion has ever stayed in the mansion for... such a long time."

Zhu Xin felt that Concubine Fang was too overbearing. She had brought Lu Yao into the mansion before, and she wasn't a maid, but she wanted to be the prince's concubine. Why was she urging him to invite her now that the master brought someone in?

Fortunately, Madam Cui went to the farm today, otherwise, if she knew what Concubine Fang said, wouldn’t she be upset?

"Oh, Concubine, I'm afraid you're worried that I've invited someone powerful."

Shen Lingshu raised her eyebrows and said, "Go report to the concubine and tell her that the prince agreed to this matter."

In Qiutang Courtyard, Concubine Fang asked, "Have you found out? Who is it?"

There were no people from Youlan Courtyard now, she only knew that Shen Lingshu had brought people here.

"Don't worry, Concubine. I've made inquiries and it turns out she's a doctor."

As Nanny Gui explained, Concubine Fang seemed lost in thought. She asked, "Madam Doctor? We already have Doctor Lin in the mansion, so why bring Madam Doctor with us?"

"The prince really dotes on her."

Concubine Fang said this with dissatisfaction. She wanted to talk to the prince, but unfortunately, except for the one time they met when the prince just came back, he was too busy to show up every day.

Zhu Xin's reply made Concubine Fang even more angry, and she started smashing things. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Madam Gui, why is Shen Lingshu different?”

In the evening, Concubine Fang had no appetite, so the kitchen said they had just gotten a yellow croaker and steamed it specially to please Concubine Fang.

As soon as the fish was served on the table, Concubine Fang smelled the yellow croaker and suddenly felt nauseous in her stomach.

"vomit."

Concubine Fang frowned and complained, "Why are the cooking skills in the kitchen getting worse and worse? Even the fish is cooked so fishy."

"Concubine, isn't it fishy?"

Nanny Gui smelled the fish. It was steamed yellow croaker, fresh and fragrant, without any fishy smell. Nanny Gui's eyes lit up and her gaze fell on Concubine Fang's abdomen.

Concubine Fang also lowered her head in surprise. Could it be that she had good news?

"Quick, call Doctor Lin."

Concubine Fang was talking excitedly. Just as Nanny Gui was about to leave, Concubine Fang said, "Wait a minute, don't get excited yet. Tomorrow, I will find a reason to return home and find someone to treat the disease."

Concubine Fang said cautiously, what if it was a misunderstanding?
