With Cen Jiaan leading the way, Shen Yuexi and Liang Yu quickly left the Cen Mansion.
In the carriage, Shen Yuexi leaned against the wall and dozed off.
Liang Yuyu blinked her eyes and stared at her fingers.
She had just touched Cen Jiaan's face with this finger.
There seemed to be something sticky and wet on my fingers, like tears.
I never thought he was living such a miserable life in the Cen Mansion.
If he had stayed in the Liang Mansion, his father and his mother would have treated him well.
[Ah~ I don't know if it was my appearance that changed Cen Jiaan's fate.]
Shen Yuexi suddenly opened her eyes and tightened her arms around Liang Yuyu.
Guaibao actually has such an idea, we must stop him immediately!
Shen Yuexi lowered her head and looked at Liang Yuyu.
The little guy was immersed in his own world and didn't notice Shen Yuexi's gaze at all.
【That's not right! 】
[I am my father and mother's biological daughter. Even if he is an uninvited guest, he should be the one.]
[Liang Yuyu, please don't be too naive.]
Everyone has their own destiny. Cen Jiaan's current situation is all his destiny.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuyu felt much more at ease.
She patted her belly gently with her little paws, smacked her lips contentedly twice, and blinked her eyes as she looked forward.
Only then did he notice that Shen Yuexi was staring at him with eyes wide open, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
Shen Yuexi's eyes met Liang Yuyu's. They stared at each other for a moment, then Shen Yuexi raised the corner of her lips and sneered.
She reached out and gently pinched Liang Yuyu's chubby little face.
She really doesn't care about anything else.
How could such a good boy have such messy thoughts?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi picked up Liang Yuyu and kissed her pink little face.
"My dear, you are my mother's daughter. You deserve all the good things in this world."
Liang Yuyu's eyes opened wide after being kissed, her face was confused, but she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
【Mother is simply the best mother in the world.】
【I will always feel happy because of my mother’s sense of worthiness.】
Liang Yuyu wrapped her little paws around Shen Yuexi's neck, turned her head, and rubbed her face.
Shen Yuexi was amused by Guaibao's enthusiastic response and giggled.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate.
Liu Qiu lifted the carriage curtain and looked nervously at Shen Yuexi in the carriage: "Madam, you are finally back. There is a distinguished guest in our mansion."
As Liu Qiu spoke, he reached out and helped Shen Yuexi out of the carriage.
She raised her chin slightly and pointed forward.
Shen Yuexi looked in the direction Liu Qiu pointed, and her dark eyebrows suddenly locked together.
A carriage was parked under the locust tree in front of the mansion.
A bright yellow silk satin was hung on the top of the carriage.
Two chestnut-colored tall-legged horses were striding and snorting as they grazed under a locust tree.
Such a majestic carriage is obviously specially used in the imperial palace.
Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Qiu in confusion.
The latter nodded and stepped forward: "Not long after my madam left, Concubine Qi arrived. She is now waiting to see you in the main hall."
Shen Yuexi turned sideways and handed Liang Yuyu to Liu Qiu.
After thinking for a moment, she took Liang Yuyu again.
Guaibao is smart and lovable, so it’s safer to keep her by your side.
In the main hall, Liang Ruitian sat next to the distinguished guest with an awkward smile on his face.
He half turned sideways, his back stiff, and looked at the nobleman nervously: "Madam, my wife has gone to the Cen Mansion. I'm afraid it will take some time for her to come back."
"No rush."
The woman opposite was wearing a conical hat, and a gauze curtain with a slightly pink glow blocked her face.
The woman picked up the teacup, turned sideways to avoid Liang Ruitian's sight, then lifted the gauze curtain with one hand and brought the teacup to her lips.
She took a few sips of tea and put the cup down again.
Bang--
The bottom of the cup hit the table, making a crisp sound.
If a person made such a sound, Liang Ruitian would just think it was a normal phenomenon when putting down the cup.
However, the lady opposite always put etiquette and rules first and would never make such a mistake.
Thinking of this, Liang Ruitian's back stiffened, and a cold sweat slowly seeped out along his spine.
He glanced cautiously at the nobleman out of the corner of his eye.
really!
The latter half raised her chin, lifted her sleeves in front of her, and gently fiddled with them twice. She said slowly and unhurriedly, "Madam Liang and the Empress have been friends since childhood. Even the Empress would wait for Madam Liang. Not to mention someone of my status."
Hearing this, Liang Ruitian stood up quickly, took a few steps back, bowed, clasped his fists, and respectfully saluted the noble lady, saying, "If your Majesty says so, it makes this old minister uneasy."
Even through the veil, Liang Ruitian could feel the sharp gaze of the noble man, and the coldness flashing in his eyes.
After a while, Concubine Qi sneered, "Master Liang, why are you so anxious? I was just joking."
Liang Ruitian smiled indifferently, turned his head slightly, looked behind him, and secretly hoped to see Shen Yuexi soon.
It would be fine if the person in front of him was someone else, but with his current status and position, he doesn't need to be humble to anyone.
But the person in front of him happened to be Concubine Qi, the most favored concubine in the palace.
If you offend her, she may whisper in the emperor's ear and you may end up in disaster.
After waiting for so long, Shen Yuexi finally arrived.
A beautiful corner of a robe appeared in Liang Ruitian's eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his uneasy heart finally settled down a little.
"Why didn't you send someone to inform me beforehand when Concubine Qi was coming? I could have gone to greet her earlier."
Shen Yuexi walked into the hall and bowed to Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi raised her hand and told Shen Yuexi to stand up.
Shen Yuexi looked at Liang Ruitian with disdain: "Master, I want to talk to the Queen. Master, do you have other things to do?"
When the empress and concubines meet with the inner family, foreign ministers like Liang Ruitian should indeed avoid suspicion.
Liang Ruitian nodded repeatedly and left in a hurry.
When only Shen Yuexi and Concubine Qi were left in the hall, Concubine Qi lifted the veil in front of her, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Shen Yuexi indifferently: "Madam Liang, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam."
After Shen Yuexi replied, she lowered her head, drooped her eyelids, and did not move at all. It seemed that she had no intention of talking to Concubine Qi.
Liang Yuyu was still wondering why her mother was so cold to this noble man.
Suddenly, Concubine Qi sneered, "Madam Liang, you went to the palace to see the Empress a few days ago. You two sisters haven't seen each other for so long, so I'm sure you talked a lot, didn't you?"
Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows, lifted her eyelids, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Concubine Qi stood up and took a few steps closer.
She stood in front of Shen Yuexi and said, "I know that the Queen gave a lot of silver to Madam Liang. I came here today with the same idea as the Queen."
Liang Yuyu was stunned.
The Queen gave money to Mother so she could open a shop and earn some money. Could it be that Concubine Qi is also short of money?
