Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 280: Love in the Sadistic Story (27)

The gap in status between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law meant that Yan Qingman was destined to be at a disadvantage. The word "filial piety" could crush a person, so she must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years.

"As long as I can be with Heng Lang, it's enough. Let the past be the past."

Yan Qingman leaned on his shoulder, lowered her eyes, and looked like she was enduring a heavy burden of humiliation.

In fact, in the battles with Old Lady Shen over the years, except for the first two years when she suffered a lot of losses, she later achieved a draw with the help of the nanny sent by her mother.

Later, when she completely controlled the Prime Minister's Mansion, the person who suffered the loss became Old Lady Shen.

But she wouldn't explain any of this to Shen Heng. She just wanted him to think that he had suffered a lot of injustices. That would be the best...

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Su had grown into a graceful 12-year-old girl.

Seeing Shen Heng leaving the court, she still went up to him as usual and told him what she had seen and heard today.

After all, Shen Huaizhi is already seventeen years old and is preparing for the palace examination. It is not appropriate for Shen Su to disturb him.

As for Shen Huaichuan, he has been clamoring to go to the military camp and the battlefield to defend his country since the year before last, but swords and guns are brutal on the battlefield, so naturally the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot agree.

He finally took a break for a while, and until after his 15th birthday this year, he was well behaved and didn't make any moves.

Just when everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion thought he had given up this idea, he took advantage of the fact that his teacher, General Liu, was leading his troops to the border to deter the neighboring countries that were ready to make moves. He left a letter, sneaked over the wall and left the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle of the night, hid in the army and set off with them.

It wasn't until the next day that the Prime Minister's Mansion discovered it. Yan Qingman was furious at the time. Just when Shen Heng was about to send someone to tie up Shen Huaichuan, Yan Qingman suddenly calmed down and stopped him. She turned around and quietly packed some food and medicine with Gu Mama, and sent someone to deliver it to General Liu as soon as possible.

She has never been the kind of person who would take her children under her wings and protect them from the wind and rain for the rest of their lives.

On the contrary, she encouraged her children to pursue their own future. However, two years ago, her youngest son was too young, and she was afraid that he would be unstable and regret his decision on the battlefield, so she stopped him.

It was not until he secretly followed him that Yan Qingman realized that when Shen Huaichuan said he wanted to become a general in the future, it was not just talk, but he had really made up his mind.

With his departure, the Prime Minister's Mansion fell silent. Apart from learning how to be a housekeeper from his mother and learning etiquette from the nanny, Shen Su felt bored the rest of the time and could only stay close to Shen Heng.

Shen Heng did not ask her to be quiet and wait to get married and raise children just because she was a woman. He taught her some famous scholars' thoughts from time to time, and talked to her more about what happened in the court.

This conversation was not a big deal, as it made Shen Heng realize her sharpness. He couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. If Shen Su could participate in the affairs of the court, the Prime Minister's Mansion would probably produce a famous minister who would be remembered for thousands of years.

"Dad, I dreamed last night that there was a drought in the north."

"when?"

Shen Heng paused his hand on her head and asked subconsciously. Because of the lesson learned from the last earthquake, he would believe whatever Shen Su said without hesitation.
