Lin Siqing's body trembled, and Shang Yuanshan immediately took her into his arms.
At this time, except for Shang Yanqing who was holding Shang Yangyang and smiling foolishly, everyone else's face looked not very good.
Shang Yuanshan whispered in Lin Siqing's ear: "Siqing, now that we know about it, we can definitely stop this from happening."
Lin Siqing calmed down at this time, and she looked at Shang Yuanshan. "Go tell big brother."
"Brother is a man of integrity and uprightness. He is not a smooth talker. Even if we tell him the truth, he can avoid it once, but those people will still succeed if they want to harm him."
"Then what shall we do?"
"Wait until I come back."
Shang Yuanshan looked at his three sons. "Take good care of your mother and sister."
Shang Qing'an has been following Shang Yuanshan recently, and the rift between them has long been resolved. He shouted: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother, my brother, and my younger brothers and sisters."
"Okay, then leave it to Qing'an." Shang Yuanshan left the general's mansion and went straight to the palace.
Shang Yangyang blinked her big eyes. She was very curious about what her father was going to do in such a hurry.
Shang Qingan felt like an adult now, and he coughed lightly. "Ahem, my third brother, aren't you going to prepare for the Imperial College entrance exam? Why don't you hurry up and study?"
"Second brother, I want to accompany mother." Shang Qian'an looked at Shang Qing'an aggrievedly.
Shang Qing'an stepped forward and patted Shang Qin'an on the shoulder. "Third brother, you have to be obedient. Now it's up to you to study hard and get into the Imperial College to bring honor to your father."
"Then why don't you take the Imperial College entrance exam, second brother?"
"I have decided that I will join the army in the future. I also want to be a general who defends our country like my father."
[Ahhh~~ My second brother has changed his dream and doesn’t want to venture into the world anymore. 】
“Cough cough cough….” Shang Qingan used coughing to cover up his embarrassment.
"Anyway, Third Brother, you need to study hard now."
"Oh." Shang Qian'an had to compromise. His second brother was right.
The eldest brother is in such a state now, and the second brother is not good at studying either. It is indeed true that only he has to study hard and enter the court to help his father in the future.
"Go ahead and study hard."
Shang Qian'an left, looking back every few steps.
Lin Siqing was in a much better mood at this time, looking at her sensible second son and her poor little son.
Although I don’t know whether my youngest son wants to serve in the imperial court in the future, he should study hard at his age now and become a sensible man.
What he wants to do in the future is entirely up to him.
Shang Qingan looked at Lin Siqing. "Mother, you got up early this morning to prepare for the full moon banquet. You should go back to your room and have a good rest. As for your sister, leave her to me and my brother."
After Shang Qing'an said this, Lin Siqing indeed felt very tired, and she followed his advice and went back to her room to rest.
Shang Qingan and a few others were the only ones left outside.
[Hehe, my second brother is quite like that. ]
Shang Qingan walked forward and pinched Shang Yangyang's little face.
Shang Yanqing suddenly pulled Shang Qingan and took him to the corner of the yard.
"Brother, what's wrong? Hold Yangyang tight."
Shang Yanqing nodded. "Look at the apricot tree, my second brother. I like eating apricots the most."
Shang Yanqing looked at the apricot tree. It was the apricot tree that his elder brother had planted with him when they were children. At that time, his elder brother had not been poisoned yet.
My father had just been called back to the capital by my grandmother. He was very busy at that time, and my mother had been serving my grandmother and had no time to take care of him. It was my eldest brother who took care of him at that time.
Once he had a fever and was sick, and it was his eldest brother who took care of him. In order to get him to take medicine obediently, his eldest brother promised him that he would take him to plant apricot trees as long as he took the medicine.
The eldest brother kept his promise. After he recovered from his illness, his eldest brother took him to plant the apricot tree. However, he never ate the fruit from the tree later.
Later, my eldest brother fell ill and my mother became pregnant again. My mother had to take care of my eldest brother while pregnant, so my father was always busy.
They rarely took care of him, and after that he actually became jealous of his older brother and the younger brother in his mother's belly.
Thinking back to myself at that time, how could I be such a jerk.
Tears welled up in Shang Qingan's eyes. "Brother."
Shang Qingan walked forward and hugged Shang Yanqing and Shang Yangyang.
"Brother, I was wrong before. You were so good to me, but after you got sick, I became jealous because mother had been taking care of you. I also said a lot of harsh words to you.
I’m sorry, bro.”
Shang Yanqing was just laughing at him and pointed at the tree. "Second brother, eat apricots."
Shang Qingan nodded. "Okay, big brother, I'll go pick some apricots right away."
[It seems that my second brother has resolved his worries. This way, he will not be deceived by Shang Jinzhi and be taken to the Jiaxing Princess's Mansion. ]
[Ah~~ But it is also possible that my second brother was stupid and thought that the family was good and was deceived. ]
Shang Qing'an, who was picking apricots, stumbled, but fortunately he held on to the tree tightly and did not fall.
He didn't expect that he was still a fool in his little sister's heart, but he already knew the true face of that family and of course he would not be fooled again.
On the surface, he still maintained his relationship with Shang Jinzhi, just to see how that person was going to harm him, and he would definitely retaliate.
Shang Yanqing picked a few apricots, wiped them on his clothes, and handed one to Shang Yanqing and Nanny Wu respectively.
[Second brother is so dirty, don’t you even wash your apricots? ]
Shang Qingan looked at Shang Yangyang with a smile, but he bit into it without any hesitation. "It's so sweet. It turns out that the apricots I grow myself are sweet."
Shang Yanqing also took a bite. "So sweet."
Aunt Wu shook her head helplessly, but she also took a bite. "Mm, very sweet."
Shang Yangyang watched the others eat so deliciously, and she waved her hands. [Yangyang wants to eat too.]
Shang Yangyang waved his arms vigorously in the air, trying to take the apricot from Shang Yanqing's hand.
Shang Qingan stepped forward and patted Shang Yangyang's little hand. "Yangyang, you are still young and can't eat it. If you want to eat it, wait until our Yangyang grows up. Brother will pick a plate for you to eat slowly."
[Hmph, stinky second brother.] Shang Yangyang blew bubbles in anger, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier as he fell asleep.
At this time, Shang Yuanshan had already arrived outside the imperial study, waiting to be summoned by Emperor Yuan Ming.
Eunuch Li walked out of the imperial study. "General Shang, please come in."
General Shang followed Eunuch Li into the imperial study, and sure enough, his father-in-law and the Duke were both there.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."
Emperor Yuan Ming: "Shang Aiqin, please stand up. It's your daughter's full moon today. Why did you want to come to the palace? What's the matter?"
Shang Yuanshan stood up and looked at the emperor with a smile on his face.
Emperor Yuan Ming and Shang Yuanshan knew each other outside the palace when they were young. He could tell that there was definitely something wrong with Shang Yuanshan's smile.
"Just tell me what you want to say."
Shang Yuanshan said cheerfully: "I am here to express my gratitude, thank the emperor for the reward given to my little daughter."
Emperor Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes. He did not believe what Shang Yuanshan said. Just such a reward could make him run to the palace even though he knew that Duke Shang and Prime Minister Lin were discussing something with him.
