A hint of joy suddenly flashed across Liang Ruitian's heart.
He instinctively raised his eyes and met Shen Yuexi's eyes which were also filled with a hint of joy.
Liang Ruitian was still wondering: he was happy because Guaibao gave him a good reason to retort to Minister Cen, so why was his wife so happy too?
Without taking the time to think carefully, Liang Ruitian turned his head and looked at Minister Cen with raised eyebrows.
"Thank you, Master Cen, for your kindness."
"Actually, a few days ago, I also wanted to ask the Emperor for a favor on behalf of Lord Cen."
Minister Cen looked bewildered, pointing his finger at the tip of his nose. "Ask for an imperial decree? What do I need the Emperor to do?"
Liang Ruitian nodded solemnly, "Minister Cen has been childless for so many years, with only one daughter. Now he wants to adopt a son to ensure a stable life in his later years."
"I think we are colleagues after all. If I can ask for the Emperor's grace for Minister Cen, so that he can stay in the capital to retire in the future, and we can look after each other, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
As soon as Liang Ruitian said this, not to mention Liang Yuyu, even Shen Yuexi couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
【Damage! 】
[That's too bad! ]
[Daddy is going to poke directly into Minister Cen's heart.]
[People of this generation believe most strongly in raising children to provide for one's old age.]
[Dad mocked Minister Cen for not having a son yet, and also mocked his adopted son, Cen Jiaan, for being unreliable.]
[This combination of punches is likely to send Minister Cen away.]
【Daddy is really awesome! 】
[After all, he is my father. He takes after me, so he is extraordinary! ]
Liang Ruitian couldn't help but frown.
What is this little brat saying?
What does it mean to follow her?
Shouldn't she follow me?
While people here were still arguing about who took after whom, Minister Cen over there was already so angry that his face turned red, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were wide open. He almost wanted to poke holes in Liang Ruitian with his eyes!
Liang Ruitian noticed all the changes in Minister Cen, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
He reached out his hand, wrapped it around Shen Yuexi's slender waist again, and said softly, "If Master Cen has nothing else to do, we will leave first."
After saying that, Liang Ruitian supported Shen Yuexi and turned to get on the carriage.
Before getting on the carriage, Liang Ruitian turned around to look at Minister Cen, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice with a hint of amusement, "By the way, Minister Cen, the doctor in my house is quite good. If you need anything..."
Liang Ruitian's gaze slowly moved from Minister Cen's face to Minister Cen's body.
The corners of his lips twitched, and the smile in his eyes was almost tilted out.
After a long pause, Liang Ruitian spoke slowly and said, "Minister Cen, please let me know anytime. I'll ask him to go to your house and take a look."
Minister Cen's eyes widened, veins popping out of his temples with anger, and he subconsciously rushed forward a few steps.
Liang Ruitian raised the corner of his lips, gave Minister Cen a cold look, lifted the curtain of the car, and turned to go in.
Soon, a cold voice came from the carriage: "Return home."
Seeing the carriage speeding away, Minister Cen suddenly came to his senses and staggered forward a few steps in anger.
The carriage was speeding up and disappeared from Minister Cen's sight.
Minister Cen saw that there was no hope of catching up with the carriage. He glared at it indignantly and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole! You are not in good health!"
Unfortunately, the carriage had long since disappeared.
Minister Cen put his hands on his waist and gasped heavily.
"father?"
A cautious voice came from behind.
Minister Cen suddenly turned his head away.
Cen Jiaan was wearing a maroon robe and holding the jade butterfly that the emperor had just given him.
He raised his chin slightly, with a proud smile on his face, and stared at Minister Cen intently: "What are you doing here?"
As soon as Cen Jiaan finished speaking, Minister Cen raised his hand and slapped Cen Jiaan hard in the face.
He had just been humiliated by Liang Ruitian, and now seeing Cen Jiaan appear in front of him, it was as if he heard Liang Ruitian's words again.
Cen Jiaan obviously didn't expect this and was hit by the slap, stumbling and falling back a few steps.
His body swayed, and he stretched out his arms, almost causing Yudie to fall out of his hands.
After a while, Cen Jiaan stopped.
A flash of anger flashed through his mind, but he quickly calmed down.
Cen Jiaan lowered his eyelids, still looking well-behaved, and replied softly, "Daddy is angry and wants to vent it on Jiaan. Jiaan has no complaints."
As he spoke, he leaned Yudie forward a little, and lowered his voice: "However, this is in the palace after all. If someone saw it, it would be bad for Daddy's reputation."
Minister Cen was still angry, but what Cen Jiaan said made some sense.
He suppressed his anger, took a few deep breaths, and said coldly, "Come back with me."
Minister Cen turned and walked away.
Cen Jiaan raised his hand and gently touched his face twice, then he sighed deeply, and a cold and stern look gradually filled his eyes.
He curled the corners of his lips, sneered, and strode after Minister Cen.
The other side.
Inside the carriage.
Liang Ruitian sat opposite Shen Yuexi, his eyes moving back and forth between Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu's faces.
Shen Yuexi was lowering her head, her fingers gently stroking Liang Yuyu's cheek.
She has a gentle demeanor and exudes the radiance of motherhood.
Liang Ruitian looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, his face full of smiles.
Finally, the warmth in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
Liang Ruitian suddenly leaned forward.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Shen Yuexi's wrist.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched Shen Yuexi's skin, he met Shen Yuexi's cold eyes.
Liang Ruitian slowly retracted his hand, which he had just extended.
His throat rolled and the corners of his mouth twitched upwards a few times, trying to force out a smile, but under Shen Yuexi's cold gaze, he couldn't force out a single smile.
After a while, Liang Ruitian asked cautiously: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows, and the coldness in her eyes deepened.
She was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of Liang Yuyu in the cradle, blinking her big eyes, staring at Liang Ruitian intently with admiration on her face.
A wave of jealousy flashed through my heart.
Shen Yuexi raised her hands to cover Liang Yuyu's eyes, depriving her of her sight.
"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?" Shen Yuexi's voice was cold and her attitude was indifferent. "It's only been a few days since the mansion cleared up the mess, and you've brought three more back to me. Has there been no peace in this mansion for even a single day?"
Liang Ruitian half lowered his head, put his hands on his legs, and twisted his fingers together.
He didn't look like a powerful official in the court, but rather like a young wife who had suffered a lot of grievances.
Liang Ruitian spoke in a low, stuttering voice, his words still a little intermittent: "This... this is something the emperor insisted on giving me... I... I have no choice."
