The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

"Yes, yes! There are twenty-one of us in total. Before leaving, the Su family returned everyone's indentures and gave everyone a sum of money to settle down. We are all good citizens, so everyone's life is not difficult. Some people chose to return home to reunite with their families; some chose to stay in Luocheng to do some small business and live a fulfilling life; and those guards who have martial arts skills chose to venture elsewhere. Until the news came that the Su family..., we were shocked. Who knew that a year later, the young lady would..."

Aunt Xu took a deep breath, "Don't worry, young lady. We are all united. We all remember the kindness of Tutor Su's family. Although our strength is limited and we seldom contact each other, we will keep each other informed and help each other when there is something. It was everyone who helped me create the opportunity when I decided to enter the Shen Mansion to investigate... and met Shen Nian by chance..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she had done something wrong.

Seeing that she was so frank and told everything without any hesitation, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel relieved.

It's not that she was overly suspicious. It was just like Aunt Ye said, people's minds were hard to predict. She had to be on guard against her having other thoughts once she had her own child... But now it seemed that they were the ones who were being petty.

But trust needs time to build. After all, even the fact that she was an old member of the Su family was only based on Aunt Xu's recollection. But as long as she can be confirmed that she has no hostility towards herself, the rest can be verified by time.

The reason why they were so cautious was only because they were forced by the situation. They even seldom called Aunt Ye godmother. Usually, they would only call her a few times in a coquettish voice to appease others after they got into trouble. This was to prevent someone from knowing their relationship and finding out about Mu'er's existence.

Although the old monk later helped her clear her tracks, she had also appeared in the procession in front of the temple with her child in her arms...

After all, a goose leaves a trace when it passes by, and a wind leaves a sound when it passes by. Even the dried fruit workshop that cooperates with Master Ye deliberately uses several layers of relationships as a protective shield. As long as Mu'er doesn't leave Luocheng safely, his existence must be kept secret... It seems that I have to go back and discuss this matter with Lu Yingxing. Should I arrange a new identity for the children? Or should I just leave with them as servants of the palace?

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Aunt Xu was worried, thinking that she was really upset about her relationship with Shen Nian. After all, she was the one who willingly degenerated into a concubine, and she was her father's concubine...

As if she had made up her mind, Aunt Xu took a deep breath and finally spoke, her voice firm and clear: "Young lady, please rest assured. As long as I can find evidence to prove that Shen Nian murdered the lady, I will leave the Shen Mansion after he is executed, and I will never appear in front of you again. I promise!"

"Ah?" Her words brought Shen Yu back to his senses. What was the direction of this plot?

Seeing her determined eyes, Shen Yu trusted her a little more. Then he saw her holding her belly nervously, obviously very scared but with an attitude of "as long as you say a word, I will rush forward". He was inexplicably tickled by her funny bone, as if he saw the little follower who used to follow his mother around.

"Mrs. Xu, you are now the mistress of the Shen family, and your brothers and sisters are the young masters and young ladies of the Shen family. Where do you want to go? Don't you want them anymore?"

"I...I...Miss, you mean that I can take the baby with me?" Aunt Xu's voice was full of joy.

"Without Madam Shen Ji, you are the most senior one in the Shen Mansion now. I will think of a way to help you get a permanent position later." The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. "To be honest, it will be easier for me to leave the Shen Mansion to you. After all, it is my mother's family. In the future, the younger brother or sister in your belly will inherit the Shen family. You can help me keep an eye on Shen Nian. Even if I go to Zhuocheng, I don't have to worry about him holding me back! If he doesn't exist in the Shen Mansion in the future, it will be more perfect... Anyway, you can just stay here with peace of mind!"

"Ah?" Aunt Xu was a little stunned. Did the young lady not blame her? Did she want her to continue to be Shen Nian's aunt?

"Also, don't call me Miss. You are no longer a servant of the Su Mansion. You are now my stepmother, which means you are my mother's sister. Just think of yourself as staying with my mother. Don't be afraid. If anything happens, the prince and I will protect you!"

Aunt Xu looked at her with such joy and happiness, thinking that she looked just like the young lady she was back then, and she couldn't help but started crying again.

Shen Yu: “………………” The mood swings of a pregnant woman are really inexplicable.

After chatting with her for a while, the two of them roughly explained the next direction. Lu Yingxing came over, accompanied by Shen Nian, who looked aggrieved.

[Yo~~ Judging from Shen Nian's expression, it seems that Xiao Luzi has the upper hand in the negotiation? 】

Lu Yingxing was now immune to this title and automatically ignored it. He only heard his wife say that he had the upper hand, which was a compliment to him!!

I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth, "Have you finished talking here?"

"Alright! I'm here to see my brothers and sisters. The baby in my aunt's belly has moved!"

Seeing Shen Yu's excited answer, Lu Yingxing was excited. Madam wants to have a baby? Arrange it!!!

Shen Nian noticed that his daughter didn't even look at him, so he pinched his fingers in his sleeves and agreed, "Oh? It seems that my brother and you are destined to be together! Then Yu'er, come home more often in the future!"

沈榆微微侧首，回头看了看那凸起的肚子一眼，假装没听见，她怕自己忍不住揍他！！刚听徐姨娘说母亲嫁给他的事，可能另有隐情？本以为母亲是个恋爱脑，但如果成亲这件事非她自愿……沈榆眯了眯眼，继续一言不发。

Shen Nian didn't mind and continued to talk to himself, "I heard from the prince that the house the emperor gave you, have you seen it? It was the residence of the Su family before. The emperor has always asked people to maintain it carefully, and he also specifically explained that it was a reward for you. It can be regarded as the emperor's compensation to my father's family."

Shen Yu looked up at Lu Yingxing in shock, and when he nodded slightly, he knew it was true! !

[Haha, would a dog emperor waste money on maintenance? ]

[Look through all the boxes and cabinets in the Su Mansion to see if there is any evidence of treason, right? ]

"Ahem!" Lu Yingxing suppressed his laughter and spoke for her helplessly, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for reminding me. My wife and I will remember to go to the palace to express our gratitude."

Then Shen Yu pulled him away without even glancing at Shen Nian. On the way back to the palace, he asked him about the secret conversation, "Do you really want to cooperate with that scumbag?"

Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows, "Didn't Madam have no objection just now?"

"Oh? I just realized that he might be even worse than I thought!!!" Shen Yu said with a fake smile.

So, he told Aunt Xu's conversation to everyone, including the existing servants in the Su Mansion. After a while, he said, "Mrs. Shen's case will be publicly executed, otherwise they can't put the blame on her. In this way, Shen Nian will definitely be implicated. Since the emperor has posthumously conferred the title of Prince's Consort on your mother, Shen Nian can forget about marrying a second wife in the future. If Aunt Xu can fill that position, it would be a good idea, but the premise is... are you sure she can be trusted?"
