Mother Shen felt as if her heart was pierced by needles.
His eyes fell on Shen Wei's wrist, where there were clear red marks, as if they were caused by being strangled by a rope.
Shen Wei pulled back her sleeves to hide the red on her wrists, and forced a smile: "I didn't sleep well last night, mother, don't worry. Thanks to my brother, my daughter is now a concubine in the palace, and no one dares to hurt her."
Mother Shen tried hard to hold back her sadness.
Mother Shen knew that although Shen Wei was a concubine, she was a farmer’s daughter after all. Those concubines and mistresses with prominent family backgrounds in the palace would definitely look down on Chen Wei.
If Shen Wei wants to gain a firm foothold in the palace, she still has to rely on Shen Xiuming.
"Mom, where is my second sister?" Shen Wei looked around but didn't see her sister Shen Qiang.

"Mother-in-law, brother-in-law! It's so hard for me to find him!" As she was speaking, a deep and shrewd voice sounded.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Chen Qiang's ex-husband Liu Boyuan came running over breathlessly. He was slightly fat, had a mustache, and his shrewd eyes scanned everything. Since arriving in Beijing, Liu Boyuan has been looking for Shen Qiang's whereabouts. Unfortunately, the Shen family kept Shen Qiang's whereabouts a secret, so Liu Boyuan could only follow the Shen family.
He saluted Shen Xiuming politely, glanced at Shen Wei, and saluted respectfully again: “Aunt, I haven’t seen you for many years. You have become more beautiful. No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Yan likes you.”
