On the day of the full moon banquet at the Prime Minister’s residence, the High Priest of the Jiuli Temple prophesied: the blooming of twin lotuses heralds misfortune for the Prime Minister’s house...
Ana Shen looked at Jianyue and asked, “Are you the child’s mother?”
Jian Yue nodded, "Yes, I am their mother."
Shen Yanchu frowned slightly, questioning, "You look only ten years old, are you sure you are their mother?"
After all, he was a general who had fought on the battlefield. His scrutinizing eyes were very sharp, which made Jianyue unconsciously a little nervous.
Qingli said unhappily, "General Shen, what does this mean? Judging people by appearance? Are we going to pretend to be the child's relatives and go to the palace to find someone? What interests can make us take such a risk?"
Qingli's tone became colder. "My friend just looks younger. She is already 22 years old. It's normal for her to be a mother. Don't just judge people by appearance."
Seeing Qingli was angry, Nangong Yao also got angry and reached out to hit Shen Yanchu.
"Are you interrogating the prisoner? Tell me quickly, where is the child?"
Shen Yanchu looked at Nangong Yao helplessly, then asked Jianyue: "One last question, how old is your child and what is his name?"
Jianyue hurriedly replied, "They are more than three years old. The elder sister is Mengmeng and the younger brother is Yeyangyang."
Hearing this, Shen Yanchu no longer doubted her identity.
놛 now has a good relationship with the two children. After spending time with them, 놛 discovered that the two children are exceptionally intelligent, not like ordinary children. The two children are also very caring towards 놛, and 놛 has already treated the two children as friends.
Now seeing the mother of the two children, she couldn't help but say, "As parents, you really shouldn't let such young children go out alone. You must take good care of them in the future."
Jianyue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, General Shen said yes, we will take good care of him in the future. Thank you very much, General. Thank you very much."
Jianyue bowed with both hands and bowed to Shen Yanchu, thanking him solemnly!
Shen Yanchu then said: "The children are in Osmanthus Tower. You are hungry. I will send you to Osmanthus Tower first and have someone accompany you before entering the palace."
Qingli was speechless when she heard this!
After all the hard work, the child is not in the palace.
But on second thought, this is better, this way, Nangong Yan won't be able to watch.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jianyue, "Since the child is not here, let's go out too!"
Then he said to Nangong Yao: "Thank you, Princess, for bringing us in. Now that the child is not here, we should also go out. My friend will feel relieved when he sees the child."
Having said that, Qingli left.
Nangong Wangyao hurriedly looked at her royal brother and gave him a few glances.
It's just that Nangong Yan pretended not to see it, his eyes fell on Qingli's back, and his heartbeat still accelerated when he looked at her again.
Seeing that her royal brother did not try to persuade her to stay, Nangong Yao was helpless and could only hurriedly say, "Sister Qingli, no, your friend and Chen Yanchu are going to look for her child, so we won't go! I'll take you to my royal brother's warehouse to pick out a few things as a thank you gift for you, okay?"
Nangong Yao held Qingli's arm, speaking in a soft voice.
Qingli shook her head hurriedly, "No, Princess, I've already said that your brother has already thanked you, so let's just leave it at that! There's no need to mention it again."
After Qingli finished speaking, she left.
Jianyue also hurried to follow.
Nangong Yao looked at her brother with dismay, sighed helplessly, and finally could only hurriedly catch up.
Seeing this, Ana Shen hurriedly chased after him.
Nangong Yan stood there alone, watching them walk away, and only looked away when they were out of sight.
…
Outside the palace, Shen Yanan rode on his horse and led Qingli and the others towards the Osmanthus Tower.
At this time, in the Osmanthus Tower, two children were eating delicious dishes with their mouths full of oil.
"Brother, the food here is so delicious! I love it so much. I will come here every day from now on."
Mengmeng sat on a tall little chair, swinging her two short legs, her little mouth bulging with food, and she was gnawing on a bone in her hand.
Yangyang is more reserved when eating and will take the initiative to pick up the dishes that her sister likes.
"Sister likes it. We'll come back later."
Yangyang is not very keen on delicious food.
The two children were eating when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Where's Chu-ge? Why isn't he here?"
There were several people standing outside the door that was pushed open, led by a woman who looked around the room for someone, then walked in with her skirt lifted.
Shen Yanchu arranged for two subordinates to say hurriedly: "Miss Zhou, I have already said that the general is not here."
At the door, two subordinates stopped Zhou Yan, but she didn't listen and insisted on coming in.
"Who are these two kids?"
Zhou Yan looked at Mengmeng with disdain, as she had a greasy mouth.
"Where did this wild child come from? He looks like he hasn't eaten for 800 years. So disgusting."
Zhou Yan said this, fanning himself with a handkerchief in disdain, with an expression of disgust.
The subordinate hurriedly said, "Miss Zhou, these two are the general's guests, please be respectful. The general knows that you will be unhappy if you speak like this."
Zhou Yan is the daughter of a good friend of Shen Yanchu's father. Because her parents died early, her family members treated her badly. When she was twelve years old, she was taken home and raised by Shen's father and mother and recognized as their goddaughter.
The Shen family only has one son, Shen Yanchu, and no daughters. Therefore, Shen's mother loves Zhou Yan, the adopted daughter, very much. There is no difference between an adopted daughter and a young lady from a big family.
Zhou Yan was very angry after hearing what his subordinates said, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
In the Shen family, only her mother spoiled her, and Shen Yanchu would never give her face, but she still liked Shen Yanchu very much.
When she learned that Shen Yanchu had returned, she immediately went to the general's mansion, but she didn't see anyone.
Later, she wanted to buy some of Shen Yanchu's favorite food and bring it back to the general's mansion, waiting for Shen Yanchu to come back, but she didn't want to see her subordinates here, and she thought Shen Yanchu was here too.
"Bad luck!"
Zhou Yan swung his sleeves, looked at the two children with disdain, and then left.
Meng Meng shouted crisply: "Auntie, wait a minute."
Mengmeng jumped off the stool and wiped her hands.
Zhou Yan was irritated by her calling her "auntie" and immediately turned around and yelled fiercely, "Who are you calling auntie, little brat? Are you blind? Do I look like an auntie?"
