After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Aunt Li waved her hands weakly. Father Shen was kept in the palace, so it was useless to say anything.

She walked to the outside of Mrs. Shen's yard in a daze, listening to her son's wailing inside, and felt her heart aching.

Xiu'er was very anxious, "Aunt, how about we go in and get the young master out?"

"His voice has become hoarse from crying. The young master has a stubborn temper and keeps crying. What can we do?"

Aunt Li knew that she couldn't do this, just like when Shen Yunjin was taken away.

She just couldn't bear it at that time, so she brought Shen Yunjin out.

As a result, Shen Yunjin was punished by Mrs. Shen by having his palms slapped, and both of his hands were swollen.

In order to keep the child with her for a long time, she can only endure now.

If you act on impulse, you will only end up pushing your child into the abyss.

"Xiu'er, help me, let's go back."

Aunt Li felt weak all over and couldn't take a step.

"Madam, Aunt Li went to the second gate to wait for the master, but the master was left in the palace. Anping asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything. Then she stood outside the yard for a while and then went back."

Nanny Shen told Madam Shen what the maid had seen.

"Hmph, she still wants the master to support her? She really overestimates her own abilities!" Mrs. Shen sneered.

"Starting tomorrow, you can give her some extra ingredients." Mrs. Shen lowered her voice.

Nanny Shen looked up at Madam Shen, satisfaction in her eyes.

Madam should have taken action a long time ago, but it’s better now that the master has a son, and Madam will no longer be mocked by those ladies in the capital for having no descendants in the Shen family.

"Yes." Nanny Shen went out happily.

This matter can only be done by her personally, she is not confident in letting others do it.

On the third night, Shen's father finally returned from the palace.

As he walked in exhausted, he saw Aunt Li standing at the second door.

He looked much more haggard and seemed to be several years older.

As soon as Aunt Li saw Father Shen, she couldn't stop crying.

"What's going on? What happened?" Father Shen asked, enduring his physical fatigue.

"Master, Master, Madam, Madam, take Che'er over."

Aunt Li said with sobs.

Father Shen breathed a sigh of relief, as he thought something had happened to Che'er.

"Madam has taken her away, so she'll be back in the evening, right?"

"No, sir, it's Madam who wants to take Che'er away to raise him."

When Mr. Shen heard this, he stopped.

"You mean, Madam is going to raise Che'er herself?"

"Master, you promised me that you would let Che'er follow me." Aunt Li stared at Father Shen.

"Let me think about it first." Father Shen said as he walked towards Mrs. Shen's yard.

Aunt Li followed closely behind, she hadn't seen her son for three days.

The yard was quiet, and no one could hear Shen Yunche's voice.

Mrs. Shen was sipping tea in her room. When she heard that Mr. Shen had returned, she hurried out to greet him.

"Master is back. Are you tired? Come and try the new tea my mother brought back this year."

She placed the tea brought by the maid in Mr. Shen's hand.

Father Shen took a sip of tea and looked around.

"I heard that you brought Che'er to your room. How come I didn't see him?"

Mrs. Shen glanced sideways at Aunt Li who was standing at the door.

"The child is tired from playing and is sleeping in the ear room."

After saying that, she changed the subject.

"My nephew from my mother's family wants to try out in the second half of this year, but the teacher in the original academy has limited knowledge, so he wants to come to the mansion and ask the master for some guidance."

Mrs. Shen had originally hoped that her son-in-law Zhao Jingyan would be able to pass the imperial examination and earn an imperial title for her daughter.

Who would have known that not only did he fail, but he was also stripped of his title of scholar.

Her nephew from her mother's side was a capable student. If he could pass the exam and donate some money, he could become a local official.

Father Shen held the tea lid in his right hand, skimmed the tea foam in the teacup, and said, "Hmm."

"Yun Chu, he came back a few days ago." Mrs. Shen continued.

When Mr. Shen heard the name of his eldest daughter, his brows couldn't help but frown.

"Why does she, a married daughter, always go back to her parents' home?"

"She came back and said she wanted to divorce her husband." Mrs. Shen said gritting her teeth.

Father Shen placed the teacup on the table with a bang.

"Life is hard, what are you talking about divorce? She chose me at the beginning, risking her life, and now she wants a divorce. There is no daughter in my Shen family who wants a divorce!"

"But Master, your son-in-law never comes home and stays in the princess's mansion every day. Isn't it the same as being a widow?"

"She is pregnant now. She should rest assured and take good care of the baby. When the time comes, the Zhao family will not dare to neglect her. If they dare, I will go to their house and argue with them."

"Master, that's our daughter. Can you bear to let her live such a miserable life?"

"Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. She chose her own path. Besides, who doesn't have some trivial matters?"

Father Shen was already very tired after spending the past few days in the palace. Although he could rest at night, he was still worried.

After finally returning home, he wanted to have a good rest. As he was old, his body didn't feel it could take very long.

Who would have thought that when he came back, it was either the concubines who complained or the wife who complained.

No one feels sorry for him, a man who is busy outside, but the women in the inner house are idle all day long and are looking for trouble.

He didn't want to continue talking to Mrs. Shen, so he raised his foot and prepared to leave.

A sharp cry came from the side room next to him, "Che'er!"

He walked quickly to the ear room and saw Aunt Li holding Shen Yunche and shaking him with her hands.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly gave Nanny Shen a look, and Nanny Shen walked over and pinched Aunt Li.

"Auntie, what are you doing? The child is sleeping soundly, why are you shaking him?"

When Aunt Li saw Father Shen come in, she started to kowtow to him.

"Master, save Che'er! I can't wake him up no matter what I do! He won't sleep so soundly, he must be sick!"

"Mrs. Li, why are you talking nonsense? The child is sleeping peacefully, how can you curse him?"

Mrs. Shen calmly flattered Aunt Li.

Father Shen stepped forward to take a look. Shen Yunche looked normal, his breathing was normal, and he touched his little hand, which was also warm.

"He just fell asleep. Stop making a fuss. Someone, send Aunt Li back to the yard."

Aunt Li grabbed Father Shen's trouser legs and said, "No, Master, Che'er can't be woken up even if you shout. Call a doctor to save Che'er!"

Madam Shen signaled to Nanny Shen to get the person away quickly.

Nanny Shen waved her hand, and several servants came up, carried Aunt Li out.

"Master, you are tired too. I have asked the maids to make the bed. You can rest here."

Mrs. Shen looked at Father Shen eagerly.
