The study of the Marquis of Chengen's residence.
"What's the situation in Liangzhou now?" Shen Feng looked at his younger sister, Shen Ru, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
She brought her whole family to seek refuge at the Marquis's residence, clearly intending to stay there. Shen Feng was displeased, but could only endure it, since she knew that secret.
"It can't be cured, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to the capital." Shen Ru shook her head, admiring the jade bracelet on her wrist with delight, liking it more and more the more she looked at it.
"Brother, Shu'er is such a sensible child, much better than that brat Song Zhiyu. Your decision to switch the two children was absolutely right, otherwise, how could my sister-in-law be willing to raise Shu'er?"
"Shut up! Don't mention that matter again." Shen Feng scolded. What he was desperately trying to hide, Shen Ru could reveal in the blink of an eye, making it impossible to guard against.
Shen Ru was startled and stammered, "I know, I'm not stupid, of course I won't say it. Besides, everyone who knew about this has been dealt with, what is there for you to be afraid of, brother?"
Shen Feng warned with a stern face, "If you want to stay in the Marquis's mansion, you'd better keep your mouth shut."
Seeing Shen Ru nod and a look of fear on her face, Shen Feng breathed a sigh of relief before getting down to business, "My men have come to report that there is news about Nurse Chen."
"You mean Chen, the wet nurse who delivered my sister-in-law's baby?" Shen Ru suddenly stood up, her face full of disbelief. Weren't all the people who knew about this back then dealt with? How come there's still one who slipped through the net?
Shen Feng narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It's her. That woman is incredibly lucky; she's been hiding for so many years and we still haven't found her."
"Then, brother, what do you want me to do?" Shen Ru was quite shrewd; she knew that Shen Feng's willingness to take in their family was definitely not out of any so-called brotherly or sisterly affection.
The people in the Chengen Marquis's mansion are all equally ruthless and selfish, including her.
"I'm leaving the matter of finding Nurse Chen to you. Once you find her, deal with her as soon as possible, and don't leave any evidence." Shen Feng was currently too busy to handle this matter himself, and he didn't trust anyone else to do it.
Shen Ru readily agreed. Getting rid of an old woman would allow her to stay in the capital; it was a worthwhile deal.
She didn't plan to go back to Liangzhou, but she still had to make plans for her son and daughter.
I heard that Shu'er and Prince Li's marriage is almost finalized, and she will become Prince Li's concubine in the future, and the whole family will benefit from it.
With this connection, it would be perfectly reasonable for her to find a daughter from a prestigious family for her son.

The city and its surroundings were packed with disheveled refugees. As soon as they saw the carriage, they swarmed around it, regardless of who was inside.
