Hu Zhengxiang was always the one who delivered imperial edicts to the Jiang family. As he was by the emperor's side, he naturally knew a lot of things, so he told them the whole story.
Shen Qinghe's eyes lit up immediately.
"Does Miaomiao truly have a way to save Xuan?"
Hu Zhengxiang smiled broadly, “The princess is a goddess, so naturally she is omnipotent.”
Xiao Yitang had long known Wen Zhixuan's background from her daughter's words, and since her daughter said she had a solution, she was relieved.
"Thank you for making this trip, Father-in-law."
After delivering the message, Hu Zhengxiang left.
Shen Qinghe remained standing there.
The old lady frowned slightly. "You'd better hurry to the Imperial Academy and bring the two children home."
Shen Qinghe has always had a bad reputation, and she rarely goes out unless absolutely necessary.
Whenever he has free time, Wen Zhixuan personally picks up his two children from school.
He doesn't know how much longer he can stay in this era, and he wants to spend as much time as possible with his children.
Shen Qinghe snapped out of her daze and stammered, "Yes."
Xiao Yitang glanced at her mother-in-law, but couldn't see much softness on her face. It seemed she was truly disappointed in Shen Qinghe.
That's true, they didn't invite Shen Qinghe to the New Year's banquet.
The old lady doesn't care about anything now. She's just an old woman who doesn't understand the intrigues of the court, and her daughter-in-law manages all the affairs of the household perfectly.
What else is she involved in?
Just focus on eating vegetarian food, chanting Buddhist prayers, and seeking blessings for the children.
This was Shen Qinghe's first time at the Imperial Academy. When she arrived, it was right after class, and she ran into several noblewomen who had come to pick up their children.
"Oh, isn't this Madam Shen? It's been a long time since I've seen her out. I hope you're well."
Those who studied at the Imperial Academy were all from prominent families.
Wen Zhixuan is the mortal enemy of all the powerful families and clans. Not to mention that Shen Qinghe's reputation is too bad now, even if she were a pure and innocent girl, these people would not like her. Their words are naturally barbed and sarcastic.
"The Imperial Advisor has been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison for deceiving the Emperor. His Majesty is merciful and has not implicated his family. However, I heard that the Imperial Advisor and his wife are deeply in love, and I thought that his wife must be suffering greatly at this time. I did not expect that she would still be in the mood to pick up the children from school. No wonder the Imperial Advisor rejected Princess Ningyi's marriage that day. His wife's composure in the face of adversity is far beyond that of ordinary people."
Shen Qinghe's expression changed slightly.
If these words got out, it would be a blatant slap in the face to Princess Ningyi, and Emperor Hongde would certainly be displeased.
"Madam Zhang is too kind."
She was the younger sister of Zhang Yunjian, the Imperial Censor, and also the wife of Qiu Ye, the Prefect of Jingzhao.
The mastermind behind the joint imprisonment of Wen Zhixuan.
Facing their wives, Shen Qinghe could only bow and scrape, speaking cautiously, "Princess Ningyi and Lord Song are a perfect match, envied by all. It is His Majesty's discerning eye that brought them such a good marriage. My husband is utterly loyal to His Majesty; how could he have deceived the emperor? I believe in His Majesty's wisdom and that he will surely clear my husband's name."
Before Madam Zhang could say anything more, the Fifth Princess and the Fifth Prince led Wen Yicheng and Shen Xubai out.
"mother."
Wen Yicheng immediately ran forward.
Shen Qinghe bent down and picked him up.
Shen Xubai, on the other hand, was much more proper, saying, "Elder sister."
Madam Zhang smiled again, "Madam Shen is truly virtuous. She treats her adopted son better than her own brother. Anyone who didn't know better would think this child was your own flesh and blood."
Shen Qinghe froze, then forced a smile and said, "Madam Zhang is joking."
She put Wen Yicheng down and then took Chen Xubai's hand.
Shen Xubai was clearly flattered and stared at her blankly. Even the most sensible three-year-old child couldn't possibly hide their emotions.
Madam Zhang chuckled, needing no further explanation.
Neither the Fifth Princess nor the Fifth Prince had ever seen Shen Qinghe before, and the two little ones curiously sized her up.
"Wen Yicheng, is this your mother?"
Wen Yicheng nodded, "Yes."
The Fifth Prince quietly asked his sister, "Miaomiao asked us to take them home, but now that Yicheng's mother is here, do we still have to take them home?"
"Of course!"
The Fifth Princess nodded emphatically, “The Master said that a person should keep their word.”
The Fifth Prince listened to her.
"good."
Both children looked at Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe quickly understood Jiang Shumiao's good intentions. She was probably worried that the two children would be bullied because their father (brother-in-law) was in prison, so she arranged for the precious princess and prince to escort them.
She pursed her lips, her feelings extremely complicated.
Since being sent back to the Shen family, the old lady has become much colder towards her, and they haven't had any contact in the past few years.
In the end, when faced with trouble, the only thing she could think of was still the Jiang family.
Jiang Shumiao really did come to her rescue, but she felt very uneasy.
The Jiang family gave her a comfortable and wealthy life, but it also weighed heavily on her heart like a dark cloud.
Ever since she learned that Jiang Shumiao was the reincarnation of a goddess, she understood why her mother had failed that day.
Her former bitter enemy turned around and offered her a helping hand.
Shen Qinghe felt no gratitude whatsoever, only humiliation.
Just like how Jiang Shuman could abandon Lu Yanhe, who had transferred his affections to her, without hesitation, all her sense of superiority seemed like a huge joke in front of the Jiang family.
Since the Crown Prince moved into the Eastern Palace, he has often come to pick up his two younger siblings. Today, he took the opportunity to visit the Shen residence.
On the way back, the two children sat on either side of the Crown Prince. The Fifth Princess was always straightforward and spoke her mind.
"Brother Crown Prince, does Yi Cheng's mother not like us?"
The prince patted his sister's head and said, "No one can please everyone. Since she doesn't like you, just keep your distance from her in the future."
The Fifth Princess nodded, then hesitated and said, "But Yi Cheng and Xiao Bai have a good relationship with us."
The Fifth Prince also said, "Little White is exceptionally well-behaved."
The Crown Prince thought of Shen Xubai's well-behaved and somewhat cautious manner, and knew very well that he might not be very popular in the Wen family.
