Seeing this, Li Menghua's expression softened. It turned out that Nanny Li wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship with Sheng Wu. Fortunately.
"It seems that the Empress Dowager truly misses you. I do have something to say, but I hope you will take good care of yourself and be more understanding of the difficulties faced by the General's Mansion. Of course, I also hope that if it's convenient for you, you will speak well of the General's Mansion in front of the Emperor. After all, you are still in the deep palace and it is not easy for you to worry about the affairs of the General's Mansion. I still need the General's Mansion to take good care of you."
As Li Menghua spoke, she quickly stood up with a smile, took the food box that Nanny Li was about to hand to Sheng Wu, opened it herself, and took out the pastries inside.
"Look, my lady, it's still hot. Would you like to try it?"
Listening to her words, Sheng Wu looked at her with a smile, but did not respond to what she said.
"Okay, I ate a lot this morning, but looking at these pastries, I miss my mother's cooking."
She just looked like a girl and happily took the plate of pastries from her hand.
Then he pinched a piece, put it to his lips, and took a bite without any hesitation.
"Well, it really is my mother's craftsmanship!"
Then he looked at Li Menghua with joy, and became much more friendly, but he was sneering in his heart.
She said it in a nice way, saying that she was in the deep palace and her mother needed to be taken care of by the general's mansion, but it was just a subtle threat using the original owner's mother.
Li Menghua looked at Sheng Wu and let down his guard, acting like a kind elder.
Smiling kindly, "It seems I did the right thing. Thinking that I finally had the chance to visit the Empress Dowager in the palace, I asked Madam if she wanted me to make some cakes. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager liked it."
His eyes were dim and his smile was dagger hidden.
Originally, she hadn't planned to send any cakes, but Nanny Li suggested that Sheng Wu's mother make some cakes to let her know that her mother was still in the general's mansion.
This way, she could relax her attitude and come out of her misfortune.
[Host, the male protagonist has arrived outside and is slowly approaching.]
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that Xiao Luochen wanted to eavesdrop on what was going on personally.
So, Sheng Wu lived up to his expectations and began to perform formally.
Sheng Wu chewed slowly again, covering her mouth with a handkerchief. It seemed that she had taken a few bites of the cake, but in fact, she had hidden all of it in the prepared sleeve pocket.
Looked at Suyi.
"Suyi, take Madam and the others to the side hall and wait."
One can go directly through the side door of the main hall to the side hall without bumping into Xiao Luochen. This was also something she had planned in advance and told Su Yi to prepare.
When Su Yi heard this, her eyes changed slightly and she nodded without changing her expression.
"Yes! My Lady!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ma looked at Sheng Wu with a panic expression, but she saw that Sheng Wu didn't pay any attention to her at all, and Li Menghua just thought that Sheng Wu wanted to tell her something secret.
So he gave instructions to Li Ma.
"Madame Li, please follow Suyi."
After all, it was not easy for her to say the following words in front of outsiders, so she had to save some face for Sheng Wu.
Seeing this, Nanny Li's face became slightly conflicted, and she left with two maids and Su Yi.
After the four people left.
Sheng Wu then restrained his smile, his face turned cold, and he glanced at Li Menghua with displeasure.
"What instructions does Father have?"
Seeing her expression change so quickly, there was no one around and the door was closed.
Fortunately, Li Menghua no longer looked like the kind and gracious elder he had just been.
So he began to question Sheng Wu in a serious voice.
"Sheng Wu, even if the people in the General's Mansion didn't let you know a few days ago, why didn't you choose someone from the General's Mansion at the concubine selection banquet? You clearly knew what your father meant."
Sheng Wu sneered, her cold and beautiful face slightly smirked, and she asked back with her face tilted to the side.
"What do I know? Do I know whether my mother and brother are safe in the general's mansion? Do I know that I should continue to flatter Xiao Luochen shamelessly?"
Her voice was resounding and very clear in the extremely quiet hall.
The sound insulation of this hall was originally average. Xiao Luochen, who was outside, guessed that the two might be talking about some serious matters, so he concentrated his attention again and used some internal energy to help.
So, I listened carefully.
Hearing these words, Xiao Luochen's pupils couldn't help but tremble slightly.
His fingertips were slightly closed, but he frowned tightly, did not move, and continued to listen.
However, perhaps only he himself knows the fluctuations in his heart at this moment.
Because, he knew that when he arrived, Sheng Wu was already eating those cakes, but he did not stop her...
