Chapter 133 Zhao Yi: How to Please My Father-in-Law

Shen Qingtan had made up his mind, and couldn't help but worry about King Zhenbei.

In his previous life, the King of Zhenbei was able to turn the tide and defeat the enemy even in dire situations.

The situation in the northern border in this life is not as critical as in the previous life, so we shouldn't be defeated, right?

When Shen Qingtan thought of this, he felt a little relieved.

When she looked up, she saw the man beside her and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Suddenly I feel how great it is to have him.

Perhaps God took pity on her tragic death in her previous life and placed him by her side in this life to be her support and clear some obstacles for her.

She was very glad that she was not blinded by hatred and used everyone around her to take revenge on those who killed her in her previous life.

Otherwise she would definitely miss out on someone who treats her very well.

Even if she gets her revenge, I'm afraid she will never experience happiness in her entire life?

Because she was no different from people like Zhao Jue.

If she were to meet her biological parents one day in that state, they would be very disappointed and heartbroken, right?

They may even fall into pain and guilt and suffer for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Yi didn't know why she suddenly smiled, but he knew she was in a good mood at the moment. His eyes softened unconsciously, and he pinched her fingertips lightly.

He was wondering whether he should send more people to find Zhong Yuan and cure his illness before the Prince of Zhenbei returned to Beijing.

This is to prevent his father-in-law and his brothers-in-law from making things difficult for him and thinking that he is not a person worthy of trust.

After all, parents who love their daughter will definitely not marry her to him.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a bright smiling face appeared before my eyes.

Zhao Yi saw Shen Qingtan's face so close to him, and his breathing stagnated slightly. His tone unconsciously softened: "I was thinking that if the weather is good in a few days, we will set off for Xishan."

Shen Qingtan was slightly stunned, and said with a smile on his lips: "Then I will write to Yaoyao later, and then go to the fourth room to ask if Fourth Aunt is free."

Zhao Yi responded, "Okay."

Shen Qingtan was planning to leave the Marquis' Mansion, and it happened that the Fourth Madam could help.

She suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to go find Fourth Aunt now."

The person in front of him pulled away, and Zhao Yi subconsciously reached out to hold her, but saw that she had already called Liu Yue in to put on her makeup.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, feeling a little regretful. Why did he let her call the Fourth Madam and Qin Yao to go to Xishan together?

It just so happened that Shen Qingtan was going to meet the Fourth Madam, and he had nothing to do, so he set out to find out whether the Princess of the King of Zhenbei was the legitimate daughter of the Gu family.

In fact, the truth is already very clear, I just want to have peace of mind.

——

In the second room of the Duke's Mansion, in Qingyun Garden, Shen Mingzhu leaned on a soft pillow, in a good mood, choosing the material for making clothes for her child.

After selecting several pieces of fabric, she stroked her belly and asked the embroiderer, "Do you have kesi silk in your embroidery shop?"

These days, she often had a dull stomachache, but after lying down and resting for a while, she would be fine.

She suspected that the pregnancy was premature and the fetus was not stable, so she was afraid that something might happen to the baby, so she stayed in bed to take care of the fetus.

The old lady in the mansion also cared about her very much. She provided her with more food and daily necessities than usual, and even opened a small kitchen for her in the second room.

The Second Madam and Zhao Jue's attitude towards her improved a lot. She knew in her heart that it was all because of the child in her belly, which could bring benefits to them.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Mingzhu cares more about the baby in her belly and wants to gain fame as a mother by having a child.

"I want to pick out two pieces of kesi silk and make a dress for me and my child. When the child is one month old, we will wear them to entertain guests." Shen Mingzhu has always been thinking about the pieces of kesi silk in Shen Qingtan's room.

She had originally instructed Wandong to instruct Qiuchan and Chunjiao to destroy it, but unfortunately before they could do anything, she went to Longhua Temple with the Second Madam and Zhao Jue.

Because of her stupidity, Qiu Chan took advantage of her to get into Zhao Jue's bed, and the matter ended in nothing.

Even so, Shen Mingzhu still felt uneasy about those pieces of kesi silk.

Even if Shen Qingtan was unwilling to give her one, she could still get one by relying on the baby in her belly.

"We have kesi silk in the embroidery building," the embroiderer said, "Third Madam, kesi silk is too precious. If you want to have clothes made with kesi silk, I will go to the accountant of the mansion. If they agree, I will bring kesi silk to you tomorrow for you to choose."

All the clothes for the Duke's Mansion came from this embroidery shop, so the embroiderers knew the quotas for each master. If it were ordinary, precious materials, she wouldn't be so cautious. Kesi silk is truly worth more than gold.

If anything goes wrong, she can't bear the responsibility.

Shen Mingzhu knew the embroiderer's concerns, but she still felt insulted.

Shen Qingtan could easily get a few pieces of kesi silk, but if she wanted a piece of kesi silk, she had to get the approval of the accountant.

All the expenses in the mansion are managed by the eldest lady. Isn't this asking the eldest lady in disguise?

Not knowing what she was thinking, Shen Mingzhu waved her hand impatiently: "Go ahead and ask. Anyway, it's not something I want to wear. I'm preparing it for the baby in my belly."

The embroiderer retreated immediately.

When Shen Mingzhu saw the embroiderer leave, her face darkened. As long as the eldest wife was in charge of the mansion, she would have to live a life of dependence.

Especially when she thought that Shen Qingtan would be the head of the family in the future and she would have to make a living under Shen Qingtan, she was filled with anger.

After thinking for a while, she got down from the couch and said, "Zhongxia, help me go to Shi'an Hall."

"Hey." Zhongxia carefully helped Shen Mingzhu out of the house and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to wait until the whole month is up before leaving the yard?"

Shen Mingzhu was going to complain to the old lady, but it was such a short distance, she couldn't possibly have a miscarriage, right?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt a heavy pain in her lower abdomen.

Shen Mingzhu bent over in pain and took a breath.

"Third Madam, what's wrong with you?" Zhongxia said anxiously, "Let me help you back to the room to rest."

Shen Mingzhu was frightened and was about to ask Zhongxia to help her go back when she saw Jiang Mu walking towards Lanxue Garden with a basin of ice.

She frowned and asked, "What does Lan Xueyuan need ice for?"

Zhongxia opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Shen Mingzhu suppressed her anger and asked, "Aren't you usually quite eloquent? Why are you so nagging now?"

Zhongxia's face changed, and she stammered, "Second Madam is afraid of the heat, so Second Master sent someone to get ice from the ice cellar."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu's lower abdomen hurt even more, because she was more afraid of heat than usual after becoming pregnant.

Yesterday, when Zhao Jue came to her room, she casually complained about the hot weather and her uneasiness in sleeping at night, and wanted him to send someone to get some ice.

But Zhao Jue said, "Who in this mansion uses ice? It's not even summer yet, and you can't stand it. How did you survive the dog days of summer before you returned to the mansion?"

He was saying that she was being pretentious in his words.

She is still pregnant.

I don't know how to feel sorry for her.

Shen Qingtan had no food in her stomach, she was just afraid of the heat, so Zhao Yi ordered someone to get ice.

They come from the same family, so why is there such a big difference between the two brothers?

She was so aggrieved that she had nowhere to vent her feelings, so she gritted her teeth and went to Shi'an Hall.

Just as she reached the door, she heard the old lady's voice: "Tomorrow is the funeral ceremony for Empress Yuanrong. Yi'er and Tan'er will be entering the palace. You should deliver the gifts to Lanxue Garden."
