Chapter 91: Home Fraud

"Concubine Shen, I mean well. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it. There's no need to mock me."

Qi Qing said this unhappily. She was unwilling in her heart. Wasn't it just that she entered the palace earlier and was lucky enough to give birth to two daughters and become a concubine?

She's just a concubine's daughter of the Shen family.

"Has Aunt Qi misunderstood something? I'm not mocking you, I'm just stating a fact."

Shen Lingshu's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Qi Qing's innocent face. Her desire to win favor was written all over her face. She tilted her head and asked, "Could it be that Aunt Qi isn't thinking about my health?"

"Concubine."

Seeing her like this, Qi Qing could only look at Concubine Fang for help, and said angrily, "I didn't say she wasn't fully recovered just to win favor."

"Oh~"

Shen Lingshu stretched out her tone and looked at her meaningfully: "Aunt Qi is afraid that the prince will stay in my room and worry about losing favor?"

"I didn't. I wasn't."

Qi Qing quickly denied it, but her guilty look revealed her thoughts clearly.

"Doctor Lin will take care of Concubine Shen's health, so Concubine Qi doesn't have to worry about it. Just think about how to serve the prince." Concubine Fang looked at Qi Qing with disgust in her eyes.

"Yes." Qi Qing lowered his head weakly. Concubine Shen was indeed not easy to deal with!

"Let's go."

Concubine Fang looked at Shen Lingshu’s radiant face, fearing that she could not help herself.

Everyone stood up and left. Aunt Lin bowed and said, "Concubine, I have something to ask of you."

Shen Lingshu looked back at Lin Baozhu and left Qiutang Courtyard.

"I wonder what's going on with Aunt Lin?"

Qi Qing muttered curiously. Cheng Lanshu beside her quickened her pace. She didn't want to offend Shen Lingshu. She caught up with Shen Lingshu and asked, "Concubine Shen, I should have visited you earlier, but she has been in confinement after childbirth, so it's not very convenient."

"No need, I'm just a concubine now, so Aunt Cheng doesn't need to visit me specially." Shen Lingshu smiled. She had no intention of making friends with the prince's concubines.

After saying that, Shen Lingshu left quickly.

"Some people want to curry favor with others, but in the end, they don't even take you seriously." Qi Qing laughed sarcastically.

Cheng Lanshu turned around and looked at her and said, "It's better than some people being punished to kneel in the yard, right?"

"you……"

Qi Qing's face changed, and he rushed forward angrily, wanting to argue with Cheng Lanshu. Cheng Lanshu said, "The prince doesn't like to compete for favors. Are you sure you want to argue with me here?"

Her calm words reminded Qi Qing of the time when she made soup and sent it to the front yard, but was scolded and punished to kneel. She immediately shut her mouth and could only watch Cheng Lanshu turn around and leave. She stomped her feet fiercely!

"Concubine, my uncle fell ill again a few days ago, and my mother passed away early. I am really worried and want to go back to see her." Lin Baozhu looked at Concubine Fang pleadingly.

Ever since Shen Lingshu reminded her last time, Lin Baozhu discovered that her uncle's family would ask her for money every month under various names, sometimes more, sometimes less.

This time, her uncle asked her for money again, and she wanted to find out clearly.

"go back?"

Concubine Fang raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Baozhu and said, "Mrs. Lin, you should know that a concubine is not qualified to return to her parents' home."

"I feel very embarrassed when you beg me like this. It's against the rules." Concubine Fang looked at her and refused with an embarrassed look.

"But, Concubine Shen..."

Aunt Lin wanted to struggle, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Concubine Fang interrupted her and said, "Aunt Lin, Concubine Shen is the prince's special care, and you..."

Concubine Fang looked at her pale face as she rarely went out for many years and firmly refused.

Aunt Lin left in a daze.

"Huh, a lowly concubine also wants to return to her parents' home?"

Concubine Fang snorted coldly: "Madam Gui, go to Fengdan Courtyard and check. I always feel that something is wrong with Li Susu today."

In the past, when encountering such things, Li Susu would scream the loudest and say everything. Why is she so quiet today?

Fontainebleau Courtyard.

"Why am I so panicked?"

"Will the prince come today?"

When Li Susu returned to the yard, her eyelids were twitching and she asked anxiously.

"Master, the prince doesn't care about the list of concubines that he has arranged before. It all depends on his mood."

Biyu said with an embarrassed look on her face, she said soothingly: "Master, how about this servant go to the front yard to find the prince?"

"No."

Li Susu shook her head and grabbed Biyu's hand, saying, "The prince has always disliked others going to the front yard to see him off. A few days ago, Concubine Qi was punished, and the prince had to come."

"I have a feeling that the concubine has noticed it."

The more Li Susu thought about it, the more worried she became. She murmured, "What should I do? Where can I find the prince?"

"That's Concubine Shen!"

Li Susu stood up and walked out. Biyu quickly grabbed her and said, "Master, it's not even noon yet. If you want to go, you have to go in the evening."

"You are right. The prince used to go to Youlan Courtyard for dinner every day."

Li Susu took a deep breath and placed her hand lightly on her abdomen. She couldn't wait any longer.

Youlan Courtyard.

Shen Lingshu was playing with the two little guys when she heard Zhu Xin report: "Master, Aunt Lin is here."

"Please come in."

Shen Lingshu signaled Hua Ma to take the wet nurse and carry the child to the side hall.

After the confinement period, Madam Liu returned to the palace. Madam Hua took care of the child with two wet nurses, which was quite easy.

"Concubine Shen."

As soon as Lin Baozhu entered the room, she looked at her pleadingly: "Can you please help Concubine Shen, I want to leave the house."

"You should go to the concubine for this matter. All the affairs in the mansion are handled by the concubine." Shen Lingshu looked at Lin Baozhu in surprise. It seemed that Lin Baozhu, who was supposed to wait until Prince Lin was promoted to Crown Prince to awaken, has awakened ahead of time now?

"The concubine doesn't agree with me going out."

Lin Baozhu lowered her eyes. She had no other choice but to ask Shen Lingshu for help. She said, "Concubine Shen, my uncle is seriously ill. I am really worried about him."

"There's really nothing I can do about this."

Shen Lingshu looked at Aunt Lin, who was as weak as a willow in the wind, and seemed to remind her, "Aunt Lin should look for the prince."

Prince?

Lin Baozhu's eyes lit up. Yes, she could also ask the prince for help.

"Thank you, Concubine Chen." Lin Baozhu went back happily.

As soon as Lin Baozhu left, Zhu Xin came to report: "Master, Aunt Li is here."

"Did Aunt Lin leave something behind?" Shen Lingshu was immediately puzzled as she finished her words and asked, "Aunt Li?"

Li and Lin, the pronunciations of these two are still different.

"Yes, Aunt Li."

Zhu Xin said affirmatively.

"please."

Shen Lingshu sat down again. It seemed that her Youlan Courtyard was quite lively today.

"Greetings to Concubine Shen." Li Susu paid her respects to Shen Lingshu as she entered the house. It was her first time entering her courtyard. She stepped on the soft carpet, looked at the gauze hat hanging on the soft smoke screen, and saw all kinds of exquisite little things on the antique shelf...

envy.

Li Susu's nails dug into her flesh, and when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, she fainted.

Um?

Shen Lingshu was stunned: Coming to the house to commit fraud?
