Chapter 28 The Last Meeting
Concubine Fang swept over with a sharp gaze.
Aunt Gui whispered, "What if... this child is gone? Wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"right."
Concubine Fang understood that the fetus would be safe after three months, but if they really wanted to do something in the boudoir, if there was any disturbance, the child would be lost. She snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's better to get rid of the child. Then we can see how she can be so proud."
Shen Mansion.
"Father, Mother, please save your daughter!"
As soon as Shen Lingyi entered the house, she threw herself into Mrs. Shen's arms and sobbed, "My daughter's life is so miserable!"
I thought that becoming the prince's concubine would bring me endless glory, but who knew that it would be like a brilliant firework, a flash in the pan.
"Lingyi, you have suffered."
Mrs. Shen Yu hugged Shen Lingyi distressedly and said, "Master, you have to think of a way."
"Anyone who pleads for the prince is either beaten or demoted. How can I, a mere civil servant, gain any respect?"
Shen Changxing said this unhappily, stroking his beard and soothing him: "Lingyi, your mother asked someone to send something to the other courtyard, so please be at ease..."
After the crown prince was deposed, there was no one to live in the Eastern Palace, so women like the crown princess and concubines all moved to the imperial villa.
"Dad, the courtyard is poor, and those servants are so picky and naive that they don't have a good attitude."
Shen Lingyi interrupted crying, "Dad and Mom, I want a divorce. If we get a divorce, I..."
"Shen Lingyi."
Shen Changxing's face darkened and he interrupted her. If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine, but the other party is the prince!
Shen Changxing said, "There's been no movement from the Crown Princess yet, so please be patient."
"Who said the Crown Princess hasn't made any move? When she returned to the palace, she beat that maid to death with a stick and even sent a letter back to her parents' home, requesting a divorce. If I don't divorce, and the Crown Prince is imprisoned, what hope will my daughter have for the future?"
Shen Lingyi looked at Shen Changxing with tears in her eyes and said, "Dad, can you bear to see your daughter suffer such a hard life in the future?"
"Lingyi, at this moment, we need to take a long-term view."
Shen Changxing patiently tried to comfort her, then asked doubtfully, "Is the Crown Princess really planning to divorce?"
Husband and wife are one body. The Crown Prince was deposed. The only thing the Crown Princess wanted should be to overturn the Crown Prince's verdict or to divorce him?
"Daddy, don't you believe in your daughter?"
Shen Lingyi retorted, lowering her eyes. She didn't know whether the Crown Princess was getting divorced or not, but she didn't want to be confined in the other courtyard forever.
"Lingyi, Daddy didn't mean that."
As his daughter who brought him the most honor, he was still very patient. He comforted her, "Even though the prince was framed this time, it doesn't mean he won't make a comeback!"
"Dad, looking back, which prince was deposed and then made a comeback?"
Shen Lingyi bit her lip: "Dad thinks his daughter is useless. Shen Lingshu is pregnant now, and Prince Lin is the most popular candidate for the next crown prince. That's why he is unwilling to help his daughter, right?"
Shen Lingyi's eyes were red. She had suffered so much in the other courtyard these days. The Shen family always asked her to wait, wait...
But, beauty is fleeting. If she waits any longer, what future will she have?
Will she be bullied forever by Shen Lingshu's illegitimate sister?
No, she can't accept it!
"Dad, don't forget, when Concubine Song was seriously ill, it was Shen Lingshu who knelt for three days and three nights before begging a doctor. Do you think Shen Lingshu would not hate Dad?"
"At present, she is just a concubine of Prince Lin's mansion. She has no ability to retaliate. But once Prince Lin ascends to a high position, and she really becomes a palace concubine, do you think she will have a good life?"
"Only a daughter would help Daddy wholeheartedly."
Every word of Shen Lingyi hit Shen Changxing's chest precisely, and his expression became gloomy and changeable.
When he saw Song Fanghua in Luomei County, he was attracted by her beauty and took her as his concubine. She gave birth to Shen Lingshu and Shen Xinghe. However, his wife Yu had done her best to pave the way for him in the officialdom, so he could only banish them to the farm to grow up freely.
Later, he became a Beijing official and was no longer constrained by the Yu family, so he brought them to Beijing together. Thinking of Shen Lingshu's temperament, he said: "Lingyi, you worry too much. They are all sisters. She..."
"Power can make people bold. Shen Lingshu has entered the Linwang Mansion. Last time during the Nanyuan hunting, I asked her to kneel down and she dared to resist. Daddy, if you don't take advantage of this to control Shen Lingshu, how can you rely on her to get what you want in the future?"
Shen Lingyi interrupted her and said, "Father, as long as Concubine Song is seriously ill and asks her to return home, then mother and I will persuade her together and will definitely not let you down in the slightest."
"Master, Lingyi was raised by you with your own hands. You have to make some plans for Lingyi." Yu persuaded from the side.
Chen Changxing asked, "Are you really just asking her to mediate and ask the prince to help Lingyi get a divorce?"
"certainly."
Yu nodded and said, "She is also the master's biological daughter. Isn't it natural for her to do something for the master?"
"Yes, Daddy, if she is willing, then of course she won't hold a grudge against you. If she is not willing..."
Shen Lingyi’s eyes instantly turned cold: “No matter how high she goes in the future, what does it have to do with the Shen family?”
"OK."
Shen Changxing agreed. As soon as he left, Shen Lingyi said, "Mom, we must get hold of something on that bitch this time."
There was a vicious look in her eyes. Shen Lingshu, so what even if she is pregnant?
"Don't worry, Lingyi. Mother will take care of everything."
Yu patted Shen Lingyi's hand gently, and then said distressedly: "Lingyi, you have suffered, come, mother asked someone to stew bird's nest for you, hurry up and make up for it."
…
"My mother is seriously ill?"
Shen Lingshu was shocked when she heard the news brought by Concubine Fang!
"Yes, the Shen family just sent someone to deliver a message. This concubine was thinking, my body and hair are given by my parents, if this is really the last time we will see each other..."
Concubine Fang looked at her belly worriedly and said, "But, Sister Shen is already pregnant, and it's tiring to travel by boat."
"Please grant me your blessing, Concubine. I want to go home to visit my mother."
Shen Lingshu figured it out in an instant. Concubine Fang had come to tell her this specifically. If she didn't go back, wouldn't others think that she, as a daughter, didn't even want to see her mother for the last time...
“Sister Shen’s love for her mother is something I can understand, but the child in your belly is the prince’s only child now.”
Concubine Fang looked at Aunt Hua and asked, "Aunt Hua, is it possible that Sister Chen will return home? Otherwise, why not wait until the prince returns from court and then ask him."
"this……"
Aunt Hua hesitated. The Shen family had sent a message saying that Aunt Shen's mother was so ill that she would only be able to see her for the last time. How could she wait until tomorrow?
"Concubine, my mother is seriously ill and I'm afraid she can't wait any longer." Shen Lingshu said anxiously.
"Don't worry, sister Shen. Please ask the court doctor to check it first."
Concubine Fang invited the palace doctor over again and took Shen Lingshu's pulse. Then she said, "In reply to Concubine Fang, Concubine Shen's fetal origin is stable. Just be careful and proper. There will be no problem."
Concubine Fang finally gave in, and Shen Lingshu immediately took her people back to the mansion.
