Chapter 25 Don't Provoke Aunt Shen
"I bought some powder from Lengxiang Pavilion, called Yingdie scented powder. Ma'am, it smells so good!"
Chayu was a little excited, and her eyes were extremely nervous. Could this old woman smell something?
Aunt Hua stared at her coldly and put down a basket of osmanthus flowers. Aunt Hua pulled her into the yard and smelled them carefully.
“How dare you harm Aunt Shen!”
Aunt Hua suddenly slapped the man to the ground, slapped him again, and shouted sternly: "Come here, arrest Chayu for me."
The movement in the courtyard instantly made Shen Lingshu and Zhu Xin come out. Before she moved, Hua Mama said anxiously: "Madam Shen, there is musk in the perfume powder on Chayu's body. Madam Shen should go into the house to rest."
"Musk."
Shen Lingshu protected her belly, took two steps back and said, "Madam Hua, Chayu has served me for so many days and will never harm me."
"Whether it is or not, we will know after checking it out."
Aunt Hua looked at Shen Lingshu's incredulous expression and thought: Aunt Shen is still too simple and kind.
"Okay, Madam, you must investigate thoroughly and never slander a good person."
Shen Lingshu reminded again and again.
“Please rest assured, Aunt Shen.”
Aunt Hua spoke soothingly, "Madam Chen, please remember not to get angry." The child is the most important!
Aunt Hua now looked at Shen Lingshu as if she were looking at her eyeballs, afraid that she would do something inappropriate.
Aunt Hua acted decisively and quickly got to the bottom of the matter. Cha Yu, who had never been valued by Aunt Shen, became resentful and wanted to harm Shen Lingshu's child.
Chayu bit her tongue to commit suicide...but failed.
Prince Lin's injury has not yet healed, so he has been running around, trying to help overturn the verdict of the deposed crown prince. He has not returned home for a long time. Who would have thought that as soon as he returned home, he heard what Nanny Hua said and became furious.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Concubine Fang knelt directly in front of Prince Lin and admitted her mistake: "I have been building a small Buddhist temple recently and copying scriptures to pray for the child in Sister Shen's belly. I was actually negligent."
"It is my fault that I did not take good care of the backyard. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Concubine Fang's face was full of self-blame.
"Bring the man here, I will personally interrogate him!"
Prince Lin glanced at Concubine Fang and spoke in a deep voice, "Ling Shu has just become pregnant, and someone can't wait!"
Concubine Fang only felt the ink-black sleeves fluttering before her eyes. She turned back to glance at Aunt Gui, who helped her up and said, "Don't worry."
Concubine Fang hurriedly followed.
"Qingwu, interrogate carefully!"
Prince Lin went directly to Youlan Courtyard. Chayu had just tried to harm someone, and the people in the courtyard were looking around to see if there was anything else that could harm people.
"Master, Chayu is really going too far. You treat her so well, and a few days ago you even asked her if she was having any troubles!"
"She used to be negligent, lazy, and didn't work enough, but the master never punished her. Yet, she actually had the nerve to say that the master treated her badly!"
"Could it be that the master wants to worship her?"
Zhu Xin felt sorry for her master. She said thankfully, "Fortunately, when she was about to give her a massage, she wanted to rest but didn't let her. Fortunately, she is fine. Fortunately, there is Aunt Hua."
If Aunt Hua hadn't smelled musk on her body, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Bamboo Heart."
Shen Lingshu patted her arm and said, "You followed me into the mansion. Maybe Cha Yu felt that I usually asked you to do the work, so she felt that she was not valued."
Shen Lingshu's voice seemed to be reflecting on herself.
"Master, she's so lazy, what can she possibly do? Besides, I've been following and serving you since I was young. Isn't it natural that you should treat me closer to me?"
Zhu Xin's indignant voice rang out.
Prince Lin, who was standing at the door, took a deep breath. Ling Shu was as kind as Qiu Rong. Qiu Rong was also like this, treating every concubine equally, but how did they repay her?
"Lingshu, you don't have to blame yourself. Some people, no matter how well you treat them, won't be grateful."
Prince Lin suppressed his anger, fearing that he would scare Shen Lingshu.
"Your Majesty."
Shen Lingshu looked back in surprise and said distressedly: "The prince has lost weight."
Prince Lin looked exhausted, and even the stubble on his chin told of his hardships.
"Zhu Xin, quickly prepare water for the prince to bathe."
Shen Lingshu ordered, "Today the small kitchen made Dong'an chicken, braised soft-shelled turtle, shredded chicken and white fungus, and pig's stomach soup. Would you like to try it, Your Highness?"
The beautiful smile soothed his anger and dispelled his fatigue from traveling. He had no appetite at all, but after hearing the names of the dishes she announced, he felt hungry.
After bathing and changing clothes, a table full of delicious food was placed. Shen Lingshu introduced enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, please try this. This hot and sour Dong'an chicken is delicious. There is also braised soft-shelled turtle, which is spicy and flavorful. The cook you found is really good!"
Shen Lingshu's eyes were filled with joy, and she said to the king, "If you like it, you can give it to me."
In the small kitchen, the cook received the reward and thought to herself: I will make more delicious food in the future to make Aunt Shen happy.
After lunch, Shen Lingshu felt sleepy. Ever since she became pregnant, she enjoyed eating everything and had no morning sickness at all. The only difference was that she slept more!
Shen Lingshu seemed to be possessed by sleep and felt sleepy all the time.
The last moment, Shen Lingshu was still chatting with Prince Lin, and the next moment, Shen Lingshu fell asleep.
Prince Lin carefully took the blanket and covered her with it. Zhu Xin whispered, "The palace doctor said that the master's pregnancy is in good condition. She's not experiencing premature ejaculation, but she just likes to sleep. The palace doctor said that if she sleeps more, the baby will grow up well."
"Um."
Prince Lin waved his hand to let Zhu Xin retreat. He carefully lifted Shen Lingshu's arm, looked at the shallow scar, and stroked it gently with his fingertips: "Lingshu, this prince will definitely protect you and your mother."
Prince Lin looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
for a long time.
Qingwu's voice rang out, and Prince Lin stood up. Qingwu whispered, "Your Highness, Chayu has confessed. She accepted money from outsiders and wanted to kill the fetus in Aunt Shen's belly."
Prince Lin's eyes instantly turned cold: "Investigate!"
"Drag him to the front yard and beat him to death. Let everyone see and think about what they shouldn't do!"
As Prince Lin finished speaking, Nanny Hua said, "Your Highness, Concubine Shen is newly pregnant, so it's not appropriate for her to bleed. This will also help her accumulate virtue and do good deeds for the child in her womb."
Prince Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you thirty and sell the brothel."
"yes."
Qingwu responded and immediately called all the maids and servants in the backyard to the front yard.
Thirty strokes of the cane. Cha Yu, a woman, lost half her life after receiving only a few strokes. Her clothes were stained with blood, which dripped onto the ground. The maids and servants who were watching all this had only one thought in their minds: they must not offend Aunt Chen.
"Everyone, please open your eyes and watch carefully. This ungrateful person should have been beaten to death if he had not prayed for the child in Concubine Shen's womb. Now that the prince has shown mercy and sold the brothel, it can be considered a blessing for her."
Qing Wu's voice was full of energy. He didn't continue until Cha Yu was dragged away, leaving a trail of blood. "Even if you had ten lives, they wouldn't be worth even one ten-thousandth of the child in Aunt Shen's belly."
"Anyone who dares to harm Aunt Shen again should think carefully about it!"
After Qingwu knocked for a while, he returned to the study.
