But this matter is of great importance, and she needs to think it over carefully before making a hasty decision.

Feeling confused and having been cooped up at home for some time, Shen Ming'e wanted to drag her to Biyue Tower to see Aunt Liu. Looking at the sun high in the sky outside, Shen Mingzhuang couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't we go to Daci Temple to escape the summer heat? Aunt Liu is now in a stable pregnancy, so it would be good for the baby if she went to the temple for a while."

As Shen Ming'e walked hand in hand with Shen Mingzhuang under the shade of the trees, she still felt the oppressive heat. Upon hearing this, she was moved.

Inside the Biyue Tower, the two had just entered the room when they heard voices inside.

"Now that you're carrying Third Master's child, just focus on taking good care of yourself. If you need anything, just let someone know." It was Madam Liu's voice, sounding somewhat amused. It was unclear what the two were talking about, but she changed the subject, "It's too hot, and Third Master likes to come over to you. I think Wenxin, who's by your side, is quite nice..."

As he spoke, he looked at Wenxin, the maid who was fanning Aunt Liu.

Wenxin wasn't particularly beautiful; at least compared to the stunning Aunt Liu, she could only be considered average-looking. At sixteen or seventeen, she was gentle and refined, and quite endearing.

“Third Master can’t always be without someone to serve him. Wenxin is someone you value, so I’m at ease with her. I think we should let her take charge of serving Third Master.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming'e felt all the blood rush to her head, and without caring about anything else, she rushed forward and shouted, "No!"

Everyone in the room looked towards the doorway, and Shen Mingzhuang had not expected Shen Ming'e to react so strongly.

"Mother cannot let Wenxin serve Father."

Shen Ming'e realized her loss of composure and lowered her voice, but she still firmly opposed Lin's decision.

Madam Lin was surprised that Aunt Liu didn't react, but Shen Ming'e, the daughter, jumped out as if her tail had been stepped on. She couldn't help but smile, calmly adjusting the hairpin at her temple, and raised an eyebrow to ask with a smile, "Does Eighth Madam have something to say?"

Shen Mingzhuang frowned as she looked at Wenxin. She remembered that Wenxin was Aunt Liu's most valued maid, and she was only two years younger than Shen Ming'e. Why did Shen Ming'e have such a big reaction?

She frantically recalled the plot of the book in her mind, as if she were trying to fill in the blanks in the last few minutes of a final exam.

Wenxin... The fragments of memory in his mind gradually connected, and Shen Mingzhuang was suddenly startled. Could this Wenxin be the same Liu Wenxin?

She remembered that there was such a person, but the Liu Wenxin mentioned in the book was the Consort Wen in the palace, Jiang Wang's concubine. What was her relationship with this Wenxin from the Shen family?

Consort Wen rose from a palace maid to a high-ranking concubine. Because of Jiang Wang's drunkenness, she was carried to the emperor's bed and thus became a noble consort. Both of them were originally maids... Shen Mingzhuang couldn't help but connect the two.

If that Liu Wenxin is the same person as this Wenxin, then she also has the surname Liu and is about the same age as Shen Ming'e. Could it be that there is some connection between the two?

Is she my aunt...or a cousin?

Shen Mingzhuang unconsciously leaned towards the latter; they must be sisters, which is why she was so concerned about having her father's concubine.

But if that's really the case, Aunt Liu's reaction is far too calm, which makes her think of a saying: "There must be something fishy going on when things are not normal!"

"It just won't work!" Shen Ming'e continued her standoff with Liu Shi, her voice trembling with fear, and pulled Wen Xin behind her.
