Shen Yuerong found it extremely amusing to see Du Wan's face turning red and black.
Du Wan has always been the one to leave others speechless, but this is the first time she is unable to utter a word.
"Mrs. Du, it is best for people to know themselves. The reason why I never argue with you and your wife is that I don't care. But what you and your wife have done has blocked my way more than once, and even ruined my reputation."
He and she knew the past, so naturally there would be no misunderstanding.
More than once, Shen Yuerong did not want to mention the days when she was deceived by others because of her deeper love.
Chi Mu also indulged.
What's more, if you want to live longer, you can't always care about the past.
"Since he has given you a title, it means that our relationship is over. Whether you destroy my reputation or not, you can still take the position of a general's wife."
Does Shen Yuerong know what Du Wan is worried about?
"Life in the General's Mansion is no longer as bitter and cold as it was in the past. With the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, things will only get better day by day."
Always have to speak up.
"The prince and I are in love with each other. No matter what is said in the court or in the six palaces about our relationship, we will never separate. In other words... my heart is no longer with Fu Hengyu."
Shen Yuerong's eyes were clear, as if she was telling Du Wan that there was no connection between them anymore.
"The Shen family has long been exposed. Even if I try my best to save it, it is still just a merchant family. The old lady has said that the general's mansion will never allow a woman from a merchant family to sit in the position of the head of the family's wife."
Sometimes I find it really ridiculous.
The entire General's Mansion was able to survive in the first place because of Shen Yuerong.
She was a skilled doctor, but in order to save her husband's family, she chose to pick up the abacus and became the woman from the merchant family that they looked down upon the most.
But at the time of the divorce, the old lady said this.
"That bad old lady..."
"She is the old lady of the General's Mansion. You are now the wife of the General's Mansion. No matter what, you should call her mother instead of being so unruly as before."
Shen Yuerong had also heard about the old woman being mistreated by him, but now it was not a household affair and there was no need to take care of it.
"When you work with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should pay more attention to your own management. Otherwise, you will always be the one holding him back. I don't think you want to be a waste in his eyes."
Shen Yuerong looked at Du Wan and also saw the hesitation at the end of the year.
"Don't always argue for this moment with a woman's attitude, otherwise you will always be a fool who is repeated by emotions."
Just like before.
Just caring about gains and losses for a man.
Just like her.
"I see."
Du Wan turned away feeling somewhat disappointed. Qinghua, who loved gossip, hurried over from outside and asked curiously, "What did the young lady say to her? She was so arrogant just now, but now she is like this..."
"Nothing."
What can I say?
The two of them are destined to be incompatible.
"Have someone prepare some valuable gifts. I will find an opportunity to visit the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the palace."
"Why did you think of meeting the Queen Mother and the Empress?"
In the past, Shen Yuerong had warned them not to have close contacts with people in the court and the palace.
"Of course...it's time to go check on the old ones."
After everything was ready, Shen Yuerong sent a visiting card to the palace. However, three days later, the news spread among the public, saying that the Queen would invite Shen Yuerong in the afternoon. Let’s go together and pay our respects to the Queen Mother.
Shen Yuerong changed into a fitted outfit, which made Qinghua a little nervous.
"I have never accompanied the young lady into the palace before?"
She patted Qinghua's hand and said, "Don't worry, the palace won't eat people. Besides... you accompanied me there before, but that was a long time ago. Maybe you and I have lost that memory."
That was before she got married, when Divine Doctor Shen was still alive. Shen Yuerong delivered medicine to the Empress Dowager and entered the deep palace by the way.
"With the young lady here, I am not afraid."
Afternoon.
Shen Yuerong was first taken into the palace by the Queen's people, but the two of them were not in a hurry, but sat in the Queen's palace.
The Queen's eyes were sizing her up, and she made no attempt to avoid it.
"Meet the Queen."
The queen waved her hand and had someone bring her a chair. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.
"Since Doctor Shen passed away, you also married someone. It has been three or four years since we last met. Now that we meet again, you are no different from before."
"When the empress appeared, I was still young, and I just followed my father to deliver medicine to the empresses. Now I can't even remember what the empress looked like before?"
"I vaguely remember that you were a small child following Doctor Shen at that time, but you were sensible and did whatever Doctor Shen asked you to do. I also remember that the Queen Mother and I asked you what kind of person you wanted to marry in the future."
This happened even earlier, and there was no such thing in Shen Yuerong's memory.
"Your father begged for your marriage with the general with great kindness. Why did you suddenly give up now? Do you think he is reckless outside and unworthy of you?"
Shen Yuerong knelt on the ground and shook her head.
"The general and I were once young married couples, so naturally we have no suspicion of each other. However, the general now has someone else in his heart, and I do not want to ruin his future, so I am willing to let him go."
"Are you talking about that Lady Du?"
Shen Yuerong nodded, "Madam Du followed the general back to the capital, and they have a very loving relationship. Now she has even taken the position of the general's wife. I don't care to compete for her for a while."
The queen sighed, "Forget it. It was just the love of youth after all, and it turned into a pool of dirty water in the end. You are also a pitiful person. If it weren't for the sudden illness of the divine doctor and his sudden death, you would still have your mother's family to rely on after your death today."
"Speaking of my father..."
Shen Yuerong hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to ask the question in her heart.
"My father has taken the pulse of the Queen and several other ladies in the palace before. We can say that we see each other every day. Before that, did the Queen feel that there was anything wrong with my father?"
The Queen shook her head.
"It's really strange to say that before your father died suddenly, he used to check my pulse every day. He said that I looked like I had lost some of my energy and blood, and he said he would prescribe a new medicine for me. But I didn't expect that I hadn't even seen the prescription, and he was dead."
Shen Yuerong had always been immersed in the dream of marrying Fu Hengyu, and had been working for the General's Mansion for the past three years, but she had completely forgotten about her father's death, which was a little too sudden.
Just after getting married, her father suddenly passed away. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that there must be injustice involved.
