Shen Yu discovered that Wu Liu had been stealing glances at him since he got on the carriage. He was still stealing glances at him after he arrived at the palace. He couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes. "Wu Liu, do you have anything to say?"

Wu Liu stole a glance at the prince, and seeing him staring at him coldly, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Shen Yu gently bumped him and said, "Don't scare the child."

Lu Yingxing: “…………”

Wu Chen, who had just entered the courtyard, “…………” If I remember correctly, we are older than the princess, right?

"Hey! What's the matter? Tell me!"

The prince spoke, and Wu Liu couldn't wait to ask his question, "Princess, why is it three years?"

Shen Yu was confused. What are you talking about?

Seeing the princess's puzzled expression, he added, "That's right...you said that if you can guarantee that the recipe will not be leaked within three years...why is it three years, I can't guess..." At the end, he pursed his lips, because he saw his brother rushing in like the wind and kneeling down immediately.

"Please forgive me, my lord and princess. I deserve death!" His voice was trembling, revealing self-blame and fear. Then, he pulled his brother beside him to kneel down, his head lowered very low, not daring to raise it at all! No matter how kind the lord usually treated them, as servants, they should not pry into the master's secrets.

"Your Majesty and Princess, please forgive me. I deserve to die!" When Wu Liu saw his brother like this, he knew that he was in trouble again.

Lu Yingxing didn't care. He knew Wu Liu's character was that he was a bit stupid. If Wu Chen hadn't reminded him, he would have been even more reckless. It's just... he really needed to be taught a lesson. How dare he ask the princess questions?

Shen Yu didn't care at all, but she was a little confused. Why should she be punished by death for asking a question? "It's okay. If you want to know, just ask. It's not a big deal. You guys get up first..." But when she turned around and saw that Lu Yingxing didn't speak, the atmosphere was a little solemn. She suddenly felt a little at a loss, afraid that she would break the rules of the palace.

[It's over. I won't harm them, right? ]

[I shouldn’t have said anything about their palace’s affairs…]

The people around her have always been disrespectful, and she has long been used to it and never treats them as servants. However, she also understands that the hierarchy in ancient times was strict, and there would be no order without rules in such a huge palace. There are some concepts that she cannot change, and there is no need to break them. It is enough for her to adapt to the local customs.

"It's okay, get up! The princess is in charge of all matters in the mansion. If she says it's not a big deal, then it's not a big deal!" The fact that his wife lacked a sense of belonging in the mansion gave him a headache. She always inadvertently thought that it was their mansion and excluded herself... In comparison, Wuliu's little curiosity was nothing to mention.

"Thank you, Princess!" Wu Liu stood up and gave Shen Yu a bright smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not blaming me!" Wu Chen was also very grateful to the princess. If it were in the past, Wu Liu would have been thrown back to the Dark Guard Camp for a month of extra training by the prince. Seeing his brother still staring at the princess, with a look on his face as if waiting for an answer...

He took a breath and decided to let his brother get closer to the prince, otherwise he would die without knowing why...

On the contrary, Shen Yu looked at Wu Chen with a smile, thinking that he was very good. This male version of Bao Er was really cute. "Because the method of making brown sugar does not require much technical content, people who know the business may find the secret after studying it for a few times. I think three years is optimistic. As long as Manager Fu launches the Fu Sugar, people will imitate it soon!"

"Ah? In that case, wouldn't it be..."

"I'm tired! I need to rest. You guys can leave..." Before Wu Liu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Yingxing, who directly pulled his wife to the bedroom.

Wu Liu looked up at the moon that had just risen... Going to bed so early?

Wu Chen pushed his brother away with a blank look on his face. He was so blind that he couldn't see that the prince just wanted to be alone with the princess! !

The night at Prince Zhuo's Mansion had just begun, but the night at the Shen Mansion was not peaceful either.

"Remember, this letter must be delivered to Uncle Li personally. It cannot pass through anyone else's hands in between. You must deliver it in person..." Aunt Xu specifically instructed.

He Hua understood immediately that this matter was very important. She nodded heavily and just as she walked to the door, she saw Shen Nian coming in, "Greetings, Master!"

"Master, why are you here so late?" When Aunt Xu heard He Hua deliberately raising her voice, she immediately wrote a few strokes on a blank piece of paper, pretending to be practicing calligraphy.

"I've told you many times that dim candlelight at night is bad for your eyes. Aren't you afraid of the hard work?" Shen Nian frowned in disapproval, but did not scold.

"I am writing prayer scriptures for the master, the princess, and the baby in my belly. How can it be hard?" Aunt Xu leaned her head on his chest, as intimate as ever.

"Princess? You seem to be able to chat with her well..." Shen Nian was in a bad mood when he thought of his daughter who had just cheated him out of millions of taels.

Aunt Xu was shocked. Did he discover the relationship between her and the young lady? So she spoke tentatively, her voice full of tenderness, "Master... do you not like me to be too close to Princess Zhuo? But the princess said that I am pregnant with her brother or sister, and she is the first person in the mansion who sincerely wishes me the best of luck, besides Master... I... I..."

Shen Nian lowered his head slightly and saw her pair of clear eyes like glass staring at him with an innocent and ignorant look. Her curvy figure made him feel pure and lustful. He was so angry that he couldn't help but rub her twice. Then he spoke slowly with a hint of amusement in his voice, "Oh? Really? Brother and sister... since she is willing to interact with you, then you should get in touch with her... it's always a good thing to be recognized as a brother by Princess Zhuo..."

His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter. Aunt Xu knew that he wanted to use the children in the mansion to get closer to the young lady, so she suppressed her disgust and said, "But, my status... is not suitable for me to take the initiative to contact the princess..."

"That's true. You've been wronged after all... I'll tell everyone that you'll be the noble concubine of the Shen family from tomorrow on. You'll be in charge of the household affairs. Prepare the deeds for the shop on Chaoyang Street in the east of the city and the rice shop in the west of the city... and prepare 500,000 taels of silver to send to her as a dowry..." Although it hurt, these two shops were originally her mother's dowry. Luo Yunmei had been running them at a loss every year over the years. Giving them to her would save her from worry! But when he thought about having to take out several million taels from his private vault...

Aunt Xu was pinched so hard by him that she couldn't help but cry out, "Ah... OK, OK! Master, I get it..."

Shen Nian couldn't help but bite her neck lightly, "I told you not to be so seductive..." After that, he took a deep look at her belly, "Lan'er, try harder and give me a son..." Then he strode out, probably to some concubine's room to relieve his sexual desire.

As soon as Shen Nian left, Aunt Xu, whose real name was Xu Lan, immediately turned cold with her affectionate eyes.

"Lotus... prepare some water, I want to take a bath!"
