The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

On New Year’s Eve, Sisi and Caiyue’s family had dinner together.

After dinner, Caiyue and Linfeng went to play mahjong with their old friends.

Taotao asked his two younger brothers to go back to their own yards, so now there were only two of them left to celebrate the New Year together.

They lit fireworks together, cut window flowers and wrote Spring Festival couplets together.

Taotao didn't think about anything anymore, so he talked more.

Sisi was often amused by him and laughed out loud, and even the servants could see that something was not right between the two of them.

But they dared not say anything, after all, they couldn't afford to offend anyone.

The two of them really didn't sleep all night. In the morning, they put up Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers together before going back to their respective bedrooms to sleep.

When Caiyue heard that Taotao really stayed with Sisi all night without sleep, she was completely shocked.

Taotao is willing to accompany Sisi, and Sisi is also willing to let him accompany her.

Isn’t this... isn’t this mutual love?

But... forget it, she can't do anything about it, so she just lets it go.

But she wanted to remind Taotao that he must never do anything to bully Sisi, otherwise the prince would definitely not let him go.

After the Chinese New Year, time seems to pass faster and faster.

The sweetness between Sisi and Taotao is becoming more and more normal.

The two of them were in tacit agreement and did not express their opinions on the current situation.

They are all trying to numb themselves and letting things take their course.

After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Sujin and Shen Yanfeng started their journey back.

Shen Changfeng was so happy to see his great-grandson.

He was really old, so Shen Yanfeng planned to take him to Yazhou.

At first the old man was reluctant to leave the capital, but when Shen Yanfeng was really about to leave, he regretted it.

He is old now and doesn't have many years left to live, so he also wants to enjoy family happiness.

With an old man following us, the journey became much slower.

By the time they arrived in Yazhou, it was already February.

Sisi was naturally very happy to see her parents come back.

But she knew that she could no longer be with Taotao every day like before.

Taotao started going to the military camp every day again, but the difference from before was that every time he came back, he would find a reason to take a walk around Sisi's yard.

That day Taotao bought some sweet potatoes and brought them to Sisi's yard while they were still hot.

When he entered Sisi's front hall, he heard voices talking inside.

He stopped subconsciously, but if he left now, he would not be able to give the sweet potatoes to Sisi.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to enter the front hall.

"I pay my respects to the Majesty and the Young Miss."

Jiang Sujin looked at Taotao and smiled: "Why did Taotao come here suddenly?"

Upon hearing this, Taotao subconsciously glanced at Sisi, and then said with an unnatural expression.

"We passed by a vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes, and I remembered that the young lady liked to eat them, so I bought one for her."

When Sisi heard this, her face instantly turned red.

After Taotao finished speaking, his face couldn't help but turn red.

Jiang Sujin was an experienced person after all. She only took one look at the two of them and could tell there was something unnatural between them.

Caiyue saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "This child is really loyal to the young lady. No wonder the young lady trusts him."

Her words instantly separated the identities between the two people.

Now, it becomes a servant showing filial piety to his master.

Taotao's face instantly darkened when he heard this.

Jiang Sujin: "They are so familiar with each other, so don't use the servant's excuse."

Upon hearing this, Caiyue quickly smiled unnaturally and said, "We can't mess up our identities."

Jiang Sujin: "What's the difference between status and no status? I have watched Taotao grow up since he was a child. He is no different from my own son."

Caiyue: "Your Majesty loves him, but I cannot let him forget his identity."

Jiang Sujin: "If you insist on saying so, then the prince will not promote him and will just let him be a servant in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Caiyue quickly said, "That can't be possible."

Jiang Sujin glanced at her, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't let me hear such polite words from you next time."

Caiyue smiled sheepishly and said, "I understand, Madam."

Jiang Sujin glanced at Sisi, and then at Taotao: "Taotao, give the sweet potato to Sisi quickly, otherwise it will become unpalatable if it gets cold."

"Yes, my queen!" Taotao then took the sweet potato out of his arms.

Sisi took the sweet potato from him with a blushing face, and then gave it to Jiang Sujin first.

"Mom, try it!"

Jiang Sujin: "No, Taotao has been covering it all the way and has finally brought it to you."

When Sisi heard this, her face instantly turned even redder.

Taotao naturally saw Sisi's embarrassment, so he quickly found a reason to leave.

Jiang Sujin saw all of this. She looked at Sisi thoughtfully, then lowered her eyes.

At night, Jiang Sujin and Shen Yanfeng lay on the bed together.

"It feels like the relationship between Sisi and Taotao has taken another step closer."

Shen Yanfeng: "Isn't this exactly what you want? If you hand the person over to him and he doesn't make her happy, then he'd be a fool."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sujin looked at him with an unnatural expression: "You figured this out."

Shen Yanfeng: "Your thoughts are so obvious."

Jiang Sujin: "Then tell me, are you comfortable leaving Sisi with someone you don't know well?"

Shen Yanfeng: "That's of course not possible."

Jiang Sujin: "That's why I want to bring them together. But judging from the situation, Sisi and Taotao should be in love with each other."

"The troublemaker here should be Caiyue?"

Shen Yanfeng: "Why is she making trouble? Is it possible that our Sisi is not worthy of her wooden son?"

Hearing this, Jiang Sujin couldn't help but glance at him sideways: "She is afraid that she is not worthy of our family. After all, she was born as a servant, so it is normal for her to feel inferior."

Shen Yanfeng: "That's just a woman's opinion."

Jiang Sujin: "Sisi will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. Even if we don't get married, the marriage should be arranged."

Shen Yanfeng: "In this situation, should we rush to ask them to arrange a marriage for Sisi?"

Jiang Sujin: "Of course not, but we can force Taotao."

Shen Yanfeng: "How do you force me?"

Jiang Sujin glanced at him, then leaned close to his ear and spoke.

After hearing what she said, Shen Yanfeng couldn't help but turn over and press her down.

"You are such a little scoundrel."

Early the next morning, Jiang Sujin went directly to Sisi's yard.

Sisi: "Mom, why did you come here so early?"

Jiang Sujin: "Mom wants to tell you something."

Sisi: “What’s the matter?”
