Shang Yanqing: "Then Dad, you and Mom can talk slowly, we will leave."
Shang Yuanshan waited for the two to go out. He went forward to close the door, and when he turned around, he saw that Lin Siqing had stood up.
Lin Siqing spoke slowly: "He is just a child, just treat him well."
Shang Yuanshan nodded vigorously. "Yes, Siqing, don't worry. As long as this brat has no intention of harming our family, I will definitely treat him well."
"good."
Shang Yuanshan said with a big smile on his face: "If this gets out, I won't come out to explain."
Lin Siqing smiled and nodded. "Okay."
At this time, the news that Lord Shang had an illegitimate child had spread throughout the capital.
In Prince Kang's mansion, Lu Mubai was originally mocking Shang Yuanshan for not daring to bring anyone back to the mansion, keeping a mistress outside, and the whole illegitimate child thing.
Then Wang Liang walked in with a sad face.
Lu Mubai said coldly: "If you don't have any good news, get out of here."
"Yes." After Wang Liang said that, he really lay on the ground and rolled out through the courtyard gate.
Lu Mubai frowned. "Get back here."
Wang Liang obeyed the order and had no choice but to go back.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Liang knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, the Emperor just issued an edict to appoint the Minister of War."
Lu Mubai had a bad feeling, so he sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. "Who did he order to be executed?"
Wang Liang closed his eyes and quickly said, "Shen Chengtian."
"Puff~" a mouthful of blood spurted out of Lu Mubai's mouth.
"Your Majesty, I will go find the doctor."
Lu Mubai took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did anything happen in the palace today?"
"Nothing special."
Lu Mubai stood up and paced in the courtyard. "No, there must be something wrong, otherwise the emperor would not have chosen the queen's family from so many candidates.
He should choose not to let the Shen family stand out at this time. He will compromise. He should not choose Shen Chengtian. "
Lu Mubai knew his nephew too well. His nephew felt sorry for the Shen family and would not allow anyone to have the opportunity to hurt the Shen family at this time, so he would consider a lot for this.
The more Lu Mubai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "Go check who the emperor met with before issuing the decree, and what happened?"
"Yes." Wang Liang was about to leave when he remembered the letter sent from the palace.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has a letter for you." Wang Liang handed over the letter.
When Lu Mubai saw the letter, he knew it was written by Li Qingye. He also remembered that yesterday was the day he was supposed to go to the palace, but he broke the appointment.
Wang Liang handed the letter to Lu Mubai and ran away without daring to stay any longer.
Lu Mubai opened the letter in his hand and read every word of longing written on it. He recalled the woman he had truly loved all those years. He took out a tinder and burned the letter in his hand.
"Someone come."
A secret guard appeared in the dark. "Go to the palace and tell the Queen Mother that I am going back to Ziyun Temple."
"yes."
Half an hour later, Wang Liang returned to the courtyard again and reported what happened in the palace.
"What a great Shang Yuanshan! Only he can make the emperor change his mind." A hint of viciousness flashed across Lu Mubai's eyes.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Back off."
"Yes." Wang Liang walked out of the yard and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Yuanshan didn't know at this time that he was being targeted.
The next day~
Shang Yuanshan had just returned home, and when he arrived at the gate, he found that it was surrounded by people.
In the center of the crowd, cries and wails rose and fell, and desperate cries pierced the silence: "Brother, you can't ignore mother."
"Brother, mother's illness is getting worse. She longs for your care, even just a glance."
"Brother, my mother's heart is filled with guilt. She doesn't ask for your forgiveness, she only asks to see you again."
Shang Yuanshan had a sarcastic smile on his face. If they hadn't appeared, he would have forgotten this family. "I don't want a good life at all."
He stepped forward, squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, and his eyes fell on Shang Wanning who was kneeling on the ground.
At the same time, behind Shang Wanning, there are Cheng Lianlian and Shang Wanyue. The two of them look particularly haggard. The tragic scene of this family is indeed miserable enough to win people's sympathy.
"Shang Wanning." Shang Yuanshan's voice was like thunder, causing Shang Wanning, who was concentrating on wailing, to tremble violently.
Shang Wanning looked up and saw that it was Shang Yuanshan. He ran forward and grabbed Shang Yuanshan's thigh tightly. "Brother, you can't just sit there and watch!"
Shang Yuanshan's face still had that indifferent expression. "What happened to Madam Shang?" His words revealed a deliberate sense of distance, directly denying the relationship between them.
The people around were silent. They all knew clearly in their hearts that when the business was split up, the Li family took away all the servants and caused a big commotion in the general's mansion. The past was still vivid in their minds.
"Brother, mother is seriously ill and the doctor said she doesn't have much time left." There was despair in Shang Wanning's voice.
Shang Yuanshan frowned and pretended to be worried: "Why did you suddenly get sick? Shang Wanning, didn't you take good care of Madam Shang?"
He did not give Shang Wanning any chance to defend himself, and continued to rebuke: “You said that before, when I was guarding the country at the border, you did not take good care of Madam Shang.
Back then, I chose to return to the capital and took my whole family to take care of Madam Shang. I finally managed to get her health back on track. I have only been separated from you for half a year, so how did it become like this?"
"Shang Wanning, you said your career is not going well, but you can't take it out on Madam Shang." Shang Yuanshan stared at Shang Wanning angrily.
The people began to talk, their thoughts were influenced by Shang Yuanshan's words, and they all pointed fingers at Shang Wanning.
"Yes, think about it, when Lord Shang was still around, wasn't Madam Shang always very well? It's only been half a year since the family split, and she's already not doing well."
"Who knows how Shang Wanning treats Old Madam Shang."
"Look at how thin his wife and daughter are. Their faces are sallow."
"This is obviously abuse. Look at Shang Wanning himself, why doesn't he look sallow? I saw Shang Jinzhi a few days ago, and he looked radiant, not at all like Cheng and her daughter."
Shang Wanning never expected that the situation would be turned around by Shang Yuanshan in an instant.
He really underestimated Shang Yuanshan's ability. Shang Yuanshan was much more shrewd and cunning than he imagined.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Shang Wanning's forehead, and his voice trembled a little: "Brother, you misunderstood, Lianlian and Wanyue are so haggard because they are tired from taking care of their mother.
We did our best to take care of our mother, but the doctor said her illness was caused by excessive longing and anger. "
Shang Yuanshan's eyes widened, and his tone was filled with anger: "How did you make Madam Shang angry?"
