Chapter 223 Leaving
Chen Shuyao's heart was suddenly shocked when she heard Xiao Mo's words.
"Are you saying that the capital will be in chaos?"
Seeing her eyes full of anxiety, Xiao Mo stroked the young lady's cheek and said softly: "Don't be afraid! I just have concerns in this regard, so I have to consider it more."
"Those people made so many troubles before, their purpose was nothing more than to make the emperor suspicious of the Chengguo Mansion and your husband, me. It should be said that it started with Sect Leader Yunling, and then ended with the petition in front of the restaurant. They wanted to alienate the royal family and the Chengguo Mansion. What was their purpose? They were just afraid of you." The man held her and spoke slowly.
"So you're worried that they'll use their connections in the capital to cause trouble after you leave?"
"Why did Zhu Ruilin make such a big noise all of a sudden? Who are the people behind him?" Shen Shuyao asked two questions in succession.
"Rumor has it that this so-called Zhu Ruilin is the son of Madam Yueyi, the former leader of the Divine Moon Cult, and Prince Chun. Backed by them are the former forces of Prince Liang and Prince Chun, as well as forces on the grasslands. The current situation is indeed unfavorable to the court."
"Madam Yueyi?" Chen Shuyao frowned.
"The boss behind Chunfenglou wears all black and often appears in men's clothing."
This was the first time that Chen Shuyao heard from a man these things that the women in the harem had no way of knowing.
The court’s predicament and the Xiao family’s predicament.
The Xiao family is not only a meritorious official, but also a supporter of the Dayan Dynasty. Naturally, such a Xiao family has become the enemy of those who stir up trouble.
At the same time, the Xiao family also had to face the emperor's suspicion, and there were many examples in history books of the Xiao family ending up like the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked.
So the Xiao family is indeed in a bad situation right now.
Shen Shuyao looked at the man who was facing all the pressure, and leaned her head into his arms for a moment, "You must come back safely!"
"Okay!" Xiao Mo said with a smile.
That night, the couple talked a lot, but in the end, Shen Shuyao didn't continue because she was worried that he would have to get up early.
Xiao Mo really got up very early the next day. Perhaps he was thinking about something, and Chen Shuyao actually woke up when he got up.
She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and helped the man get dressed with a serious look on her face.
Xiao Mo paused holding the clothes, then handed it to her with a smile.
Chen Shuyao's movements were awkward, but she looked very serious.
And what about men?
He watched his young wife groping his body the whole time, appearing extremely patient.
It was still dark outside the window, but the lights in the bedroom were bright.
The couple faced each other, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sounds of wind and breathing could be heard.
After he finally got dressed, Shen Shuyao walked him to the door.
Xiao Mo said yesterday that he would not go to Songhe Hall to say goodbye, but the old lady still came. At this time, she and Wang were standing outside Yanyu Hall. When she saw Xiao Mo, she did not say anything extra, but watched him leave all the way.
After Xiao Mo left, Qiao Wei, who was more than four months pregnant, came to Yan Yutang to see her master. Her belly was already noticeable, and her originally plump figure looked even plumper.
Seeing her rosy complexion, Chen Shuyao knew that the maid was living a good life after marriage, and she felt relieved.
But she soon thought of Qiaowei's personality. Such an intelligent woman would live a good life no matter what.
Qiao Wei was very popular in Yan Yutang. From Nanny Zheng to the four young maids who had just entered the mansion, they all surrounded her and asked her questions.
She felt that it was boring to be alone outside the mansion, and since her baby was already in a stable position, she took the initiative to request to continue working in Yan Yutang for the next few days.
Chen Shuyao did not refuse. When Xiao Mo was away, Wuming was afraid that something might go wrong, so he stayed in the mansion day and night.
If Qiao Wei stayed alone in the house outside the mansion, and someone targeted her and tried to do something to her, it would also affect Wuming. It would be better for her to stay by his side.
The same went for Chen Shuyao herself. Since her husband was away, she decided not to go out for the next few days in order to reduce trouble.
It was not until mid-December, three months after Shen Shuyao was pregnant, that the Chengguo Mansion revealed the news to the public.
Everyone in the Shen family was very happy, and Ruan wanted to come to the Duke's Mansion to visit her daughter in person.
As a result, Shen Shaoyu also asked to accompany him and brought Xu Shuheng with him.
Chen Xinian originally wanted to go together, but when he thought about his son-in-law who had gone out to quell the rebellion and his life or death was uncertain, he was afraid that the old lady and in-laws of the Xiao Mansion would not be very happy about it.
He looked at them and said, "Be careful when you go there. Don't get too carried away. It's good to be happy for Yaoyao, but you also have to consider the host family's feelings."
Shen Shaoyu frowned, who said it wasn’t?
He didn't know what his sister's mood was at the moment. If she was distracted because she missed her husband, he really didn't know how to comfort her.
Xu Shuheng thought of his mother, who passed away because she was injured while giving birth to him.
Compared to Shen Shaoyu's joy, he was more worried.
Ruan took her two husbands to the old lady's Songhe Hall first.
Xu Shuheng had stayed in the Duke's Mansion before and was very familiar with the place.
Old Madam Xiao saw that he had not only grown taller, but his temperament had also become more stable, and she liked him in her heart.
However, she had already known about Xu Shuheng's situation.
What surprised the old lady was Shen Shaoyu. The man who looked sick before was now completely different in spirit and energy.
After the incident with the eldest wife of the Shen family, the old lady realized that the eldest son Shen was suffering from a heart disease, and she sighed for a while at that time.
After a few pleasantries, Wang came with Shen Shuyao.
Ruan hadn't seen her daughter for a while, so she was happy but also a little cautious when she met Chen Shuyao.
She took the initiative to ask about her daughter's pregnancy, how she felt, and what she wanted to eat.
Then she talked about her Mingxiu Courtyard. "The flowers your father transplanted have all survived. This summer, the courtyard was beautiful. Now that it's the middle of winter, it's a little bleak. Your father also put a fish tank in it and put a few fish in it. It looks a little more lively now."
Chen Shuyao hadn't seen her father since the day she returned home. When she heard her mother talk about her father's situation, she couldn't help feeling sad.
She whispered, "It's interesting to think about it. What about Dad? Is he okay?"
Ruan hurriedly said everything was fine.
Shen Shaoyu, who was standing next to him, thought of the father who had originally planned to come with them to see his daughter, and smiled at this time.
Seeing that his sister didn't have a bitter face thinking about that guy surnamed Xiao, Shen Shaoyu felt relieved.
Xu Shuheng had been staring at his elder sister since she entered Songhe Hall. His elder sister's belly was flat and she didn't look uncomfortable. His originally tense face finally relaxed a little.
He didn't say anything, but Shen Shuyao was always paying attention to him.
When she first married into the Duke Cheng's Mansion, she was indeed worried about her younger brother's situation in the Shen Mansion, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable because of her departure.
But later, when she returned home and saw how Shu Heng was getting along with his father and brother, she finally felt relieved.
