Chapter 20 Father, please remove General Lu from my side
"Thank you for your reminder, Fourth Princess. I will keep it in mind."
Lu Jiuan thought about it and decided to act early to avoid any trouble.
"I will immediately order people to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire Marquis' Mansion and will never let down our guard in the future."
"I will also drive out anyone outside the Lu family, please rest assured, Fourth Princess!"
Shen Qingtang did not expect Lu Jiuan to be so obedient.
She patted Lu Jiuan on the shoulder and smiled faintly: "Well done, you are so good."
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving."
Lu Jiuan was very active. He arranged things one by one, and no one would think of harming his mother in the future, especially his aunt's family!
Lu Jiuan did not question Shen Qingtang's words at all and believed in her without a doubt.
Seeing Lu Jiuan making such a big scene, Shang Shijin walked into the house and asked in confusion: "An'er, what are you doing?"
Lu Jiuan didn't dare to tell Shang Shijin the truth. He had already thought of a reason.
"Mom, you also know that there is an assassin in the palace. Although the assassin has been subdued, what if there are other assassins lurking in the imperial city?"
"That's why I ordered people to check it out to see if there are any suspicious people in the mansion."
Shang Shijin is a reasonable person. She nodded: "An'er, you did the right thing."
"Mom, I am working for the emperor now. I don't take good care of you. I am an unfilial son." Lu Jiuan looked self-blaming.
If he hadn't been busy with official duties and neglected his mother, his mother would not have been harmed by Gao Zhilan.
Shang Shijin touched Lu Jiuan's head with a loving look, "It is a blessing for our Lu family to be able to work for the emperor. Mother is so happy, how could she blame you?"
"Besides, mother has always been taken care of by servants, and she lives a good life. You don't have to blame yourself."
Lu Jiuan seized the opportunity and said, "Mother, the maids around you are all reliable people. You must let them check your food, clothing and daily expenses carefully to avoid being taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives."
This sentence really played a certain role in alerting Shang Shijin.
"An'er, you are right. Mother should pay more attention to it."
In order not to hold Lu Jiuan back, Shang Shijin has always been cautious in her words and deeds and kind to others.
As long as she takes good care of herself, it will be the greatest help to An'er. Shang Shijin
understood this better than anyone else.
Lu Jiuan felt a little relieved. Mother was a smart person and she would know what to do.
But this alone was not enough insurance.
"Mom, I have arranged two new capable personal guards for you, so I can feel more at ease."
Putting Gao Zhilan aside, what if mother really encountered an assassin? It
is always right to be cautious.
"Okay, mother will listen to you."
After her husband's death, Shang Shijin has been a little depressed. Fortunately, with Lu Jiuan's company, she survived.
"Mom, there is one more thing."
"There may be assassins in the imperial city now, so it's not very safe. I'm injured again and it's not convenient for me to entertain guests. I want to send someone to send cousin Gao back."
"She is the apple of the Gao family's eye. It would be bad if something happened to her in the imperial city."
This is what Lu Jiuan wants to do most, to send Gao Zhilan away quickly!
When Shang Shijin thought that Gao Zhilan might get into trouble, she immediately agreed.
She couldn't bear her sister's anger.
It made perfect sense to send Gao Zhilan away on the grounds that the assassin and Lu Jiuan were injured.
"Okay, mom will send someone to arrange it."
Under Lu Jiuan's instructions, Gao Zhilan was almost forced to be sent away.
No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only be sent back.
......
This was the first time Shen Qingtang left the palace after she came here.
She sat in the carriage and toured the entire imperial city before returning to the palace.
She had memorized the route of the imperial city in case of emergency.
After returning to the Moon-Catching Palace, Shen Qingtang clearly felt that the mood of the palace maids and guards had improved.
"Fourth Princess, I have already told them that you went to the Empress to ask for the revocation of our punishment. Everyone is very happy!" Feicui said with a smile.
Before they entered the Moon-Catching Palace to work, they had a very bad impression of the Fourth Princess.
They thought that the Fourth Princess would often torment them and make them restless.
Who would have thought that the Fourth Princess was not at all as the rumors said, but was very good to them.
No master would plead for the slaves, and their interests were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the masters, but the Fourth Princess was different!
In their hearts, the Fourth Princess is the best princess in the world!
Feicui led everyone to kneel in front of Shen Qingtang to thank her and express their sincerity.
"Get up, you are all my people, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Seeing their wholehearted loyalty to her, Shen Qingtang's heart began to become tangled again.
She had another worry in her heart, which was not a good thing.
How could she escape from the palace without burden in the future?
Shen Qingtang sighed slightly, oh, her damn conscience.
Forget it, don't think about it for the time being. There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain, and if there is no road, dig one.
Shen Qingtang returned to the study to continue reading and studying, and continued to wait for the next opportunity.
When the little white cat saw its owner coming back, it ran over happily, pulled up her clothes and climbed into her arms, exposing its soft and furry belly.
"Meow~" The owner asked for a touch~
Shen Qingtang stretched out her finger and gently poked its chubby belly. During
this period of time, the little white cat took the magic medicine and was served with delicious food and drinks every day. Now it is getting fatter and fatter.
But it's okay to be a little fat, fatter people are cuter.
Shen Qingtang was stroking the cat while reading a book, feeling very leisurely.
When it was almost time for dinner, Shen Qingtang put the cat down and got up to go out.
It was inevitable that the palace maids and guards followed her, but there was no need for Lu Jiuan to follow her all the time. It's better
to save as many as possible.
Shen Qingtang walked into the Golden Palace, and Shen Tianming just came out of the study at this time.
He had a serious expression and frowned as if he had encountered some difficulties.
But after he saw Shen Qingtang, his expression softened a little.
"Qingtang, why are you here?"
"I came to have dinner with you, is that not okay?" Shen Qingtang walked towards him.
"Why not? Father is so happy."
When Shen Qingtang left the palace today, Shen Tianming secretly sent someone to follow her to prevent her from escaping.
But to his surprise, Shen Qingtang showed no signs of running away.
Not only that, but now she came to have dinner with him.
You know, last time Shen Qingtang was very reluctant to have dinner with him. Shen
Qingtang definitely didn't come to him just for dinner. Shen Tianming felt that she was not a person who came to visit without a reason.
Dinner had been prepared long ago, and Shen Qingtang didn't bother to be polite with him. She chose a seat she liked and sat down.
Shen Qingtang deliberately avoided a dish, and after eating a few bites of other dishes, she started to talk about business.
To be honest, she didn't want to stay with Shen Tianming for a long time.
"Father, I'll be frank."
"Please remove General Lu from my side."
