Chapter 50: Is Prince Lin’s Mansion still missing a pen?
Shen Xinghe paused, walked to the carriage, and once again expressed his gratitude solemnly: "Thank you very much, benefactor." If it weren't for them, he would have been beaten today.
"you……"
Chu Cong was just about to speak when his eyes fell on the purple-gold wolf-hair brush in Shen Xinghe's arms.
"Can I see your pen?
Chu Cong spoke.
Shen Xinghe hesitated for a moment before handing over the pen. He secretly looked at the man in front of him. He was dressed in luxurious brocade and looked like a wealthy man. He should not snatch his pen, right?
Chu Cong took the pen, and when he saw the mark of Prince Lin's Mansion, his eyes darkened.
"My benefactor, this money was given to me by my sister. I didn't steal it."
Shen Xinghe was afraid of being misunderstood, so he said, "They just wanted to steal my things, and I didn't give them to them, so they attacked me."
"Did your sister give it to you?"
Chu Cong raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Shen Xinghe.
Shen Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong. He glanced at the carriage again and nodded, "Yes."
"Your sister treats you very well." Chu Cong returned the pen.
"My sister is the person who treats me the best besides my mother."
When Shen Xinghe mentioned his sister, he couldn't help but smile. He said, "I will study hard in the future and support my sister so that she won't be bullied."
The boy is still childish, but his desire to protect his sister is exceptionally strong.
Chu Cong said encouragingly: "Then you have to work hard."
"Qingwu, let's go."
Chu Cong spoke, and Shen Xinghe hurriedly asked, "Who is your benefactor? How can I repay you in the future?"
"If we're destined to meet, we'll meet again." Chu Cong said meaningfully. The carriage slowly drove away. Shen Xinghe scratched his head in confusion. Who was this benefactor? There was no sign on the carriage.
Linwang Mansion, Youlan Courtyard.
Shen Lingshu was about to have dinner. When she saw Chu Cong, she quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Shen Lingshu, who was pregnant with twins, looked particularly big even though she was only four months pregnant. In addition, the weather was cold and the clothes she wore were thick, making her look even more cumbersome.
"No need to be polite." Chu Cong reached out and helped her up, and asked, "How are An An and Bei Bei?"
From the initial discomfort, Chu Cong now spoke very familiarly. He helped her sit down on the couch and gently stroked her belly: "Do you miss daddy?"
"I thought about it."
Shen Lingshu spoke in a baby voice, her eyebrows curved with a smile. After knowing that there were two children in her belly, one An An and another Bei Bei.
"An An and Bei Bei moved in my belly today!" Shen Lingshu grabbed his hand and felt it carefully: "Baby, your daddy is back, come and say hello to him."
Chu Cong held his breath and concentrated, without any reaction for a long time.
"cough."
Shen Lingshu cleared her throat and said, “They must be two well-behaved children who fell asleep.”
"Zhu Xin, serve the meal quickly."
Shen Lingshu quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, you came at the right time. Today, I had someone stew a chicken soup with pine mushrooms and fish maw, as well as sweet and sour spare ribs and four-joy meatballs. Your Highness, please try them."
"good."
Chu Cong looked at her smile, as if all his worries would disappear. The dishes prepared by the small kitchen for Shen Lingshu were not only nutritious but also delicious. The most important thing was that they were still hot when they were served on the table.
After eating and drinking enough, Shen Lingshu held her stomach and prepared to walk around the house.
"Lingshu, come here and see if your handwriting has improved recently."
As soon as Chu Cong opened his mouth, Shen Lingshu remembered the purple gold wolf hair brush and the precious Duan inkstone she had given away. She smiled and asked someone to set up the brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and took the initiative to say, "Your Highness, I want to admit my mistake."
"What's wrong with that?" Chu Cong raised his eyebrows and looked at her frank appearance, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
"I gave the pen that Your Highness gave me to my younger brother. But, Your Highness, please don't be angry."
Without waiting for his answer, Shen Lingshu said quickly, "The purple gold wolf hair brush that the prince gave me is excellent. It is like a pearl covered in dust when it is kept by me. It will be different if I give it to my brother."
Chu Cong looked at her with interest and asked, "What's the difference?"
"Of course, everything should be put in its proper place and people should be put to their best use."
Shen Lingshu said eloquently, "Once it falls into the hands of my brother, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, like icing on the cake. Your Majesty wouldn't want to see such a good pen being ruined by me, right?"
"Your Majesty is a man of great principles and righteousness. He is the best prince in the world. He will not be angry with me for such a trivial matter, right?"
Shen Lingshu put on one compliment after another for him, and with a face as bright as a flower, Chu Cong reached out and pinched her face: "According to what you said, if I get angry, I won't understand the greater good? I won't be a good prince?"
"Of course not."
Shen Lingshu blinked her eyes, and when she realized that he was not angry, she boldly stepped forward and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "If Your Majesty is unwilling, I will go and ask my brother to return it."
“…”
Chu Cong didn't expect her to be so bold, and he didn't expect that she would actually come back?
Is it possible that the dignified Lin Wang Mansion is still short of this pen?
Chu Cong cleared his throat and said with a straight face, "Since I gave it to you, why would I ask for it back?"
"Next time, I will tell the prince first."
Shen Lingshu admitted her mistake obediently. Chu Cong looked at her dim eyes and was speechless for a moment. He only ordered: "Qingwu, go to the storeroom and pick out two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study. Send one set to the Shen Mansion and one set to Youlan Courtyard."
"Yes." Qing Wu responded, and when he retreated, he looked at Shen Lingshu quietly. Could it be that Aunt Shen was pregnant with twins, so the prince was so tolerant?
"I'd like to thank the prince on behalf of my younger brother Xinghe." Shen Lingshu bowed quickly. Her bulging belly made her look clumsy and cute, and her eyes were filled with joy.
"Take good care of the baby. If anything happens, send someone to find me." Chu Cong helped her sit down again. She had gone through so much trouble to carry two children, but she was so happy just to give her brother a set of four treasures of the study?
So easy to satisfy.
"Let Qingwu go to the Shen Mansion tomorrow." As Chu Cong finished speaking, Shen Lingshu's eyes became brighter. The touching eyes, the passionate eyes, and the sweet jasmine fragrance filled her nose.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how to thank you."
Shen Lingshu's voice was gentle, and their eyes met. Sparks seemed to fly when their eyes collided. The temperature in the room continued to rise, and she could even clearly feel the changes in Chu Cong's body.
Shen Lingshu smiled sweetly, stroking her belly and said, "So, I will definitely protect the children well and give birth to two safe and healthy children for the prince."
The atmosphere was instantly destroyed. Chu Cong looked at her with burning eyes. Seeing her stroking her belly, he could not feel angry at all. Two safe and healthy children... he liked them.
The next day, at Shen Mansion.
Just as Shen Changxing was about to go out on his errand, he saw Qingwu coming with gifts and a carriage with the Linwang Mansion logo, which not everyone could have.
"Master Shen, I am Qingwu, here to deliver something for the prince."
Qing Wu stepped forward and introduced himself. He asked, "Is Second Young Master Shen here?"
