Yan Chu quickly hugged the person.

"But Shu'er's child is very important. I am looking forward to his birth."

Then he hugged her tightly.

"Go to sleep. I won't leave tonight."

At this moment, Yan Chu experienced the feeling of being drunk in the land of tenderness. No wonder those people fell for him one by one before.

If it were him, he would like it too.

The next day, he went directly to court from Shen's house.

Shen Zhishu also stood up, walked out the door, and headed straight for Zhenpinxuan.

It was still early and the proprietress Cui Ying had not arrived yet. Only Xiaodie was guarding the shop.

"Ma'am, why are you here so early today?"

Xiaodie went up to him in surprise.

This is a big customer with a good personality and she loves to entertain him the most.

"I want to go next door and order two sets of clothes. I wanted to ask your lady boss for help."

Shen Zhishu spoke very gently, very approachable and without any airs.

"That's really unfortunate. Madam went to deliver food to her brother early this morning. I'm afraid she won't come to the store until the afternoon."

Xiaodie felt flattered to be talking to such a noble person, and quickly responded.

"Why is it that even though she is married, she still cares so much about her own brother?"

"Madam and Deputy General Cui have a deep relationship as siblings. They see each other almost every day. Just last night, Deputy General Cui even sent Madam some Drunken Immortal Chicken made by the chef of Yuefu. It was so delicious."

"That's really enviable."

"That's right. A few days ago, Madam wanted to find a marriage for Deputy General Cui, and she had her eyes on the daughter of the Yuwen family."

"The Yuwen family? But Princess Shuo's family? I vaguely remember that the two daughters of the Yuwen family married into the Shuo Palace."

Shen Zhishu said somewhat uncertainly.

"It's the family of Grand Tutor Yuwen. The matchmaker this time is the second daughter of the Yuwen family. Although she is a concubine's daughter, I think it would be a great joy if Deputy General Cui could really get married."

Xiaodie sighed sincerely.

This is not wrong.

If we only talk about the family background of the Cui family, the Yuwen family is prominent, and the eldest son of the Cui family can be married to the daughter of the housekeeper. How can it be possible to talk about the marriage of a rich lady?

In Xiaodie's eyes, isn't that marrying above your reach?

"Really? So, the marriage is about to be finalized?"

"The second young lady has met our Deputy General Cui and is very satisfied. Maybe there will be good news soon, so our boss lady has been very busy these days..."

The Yuwen family had originally stood on Prince Shuo's side, and their two daughters were sacrificed. Now their second illegitimate daughter was going to marry Concubine Yue's child.

It seems that the Yuwen family will live and die together with King Shuo. Their relationship is ironclad and will probably never be separated.

Xiaodie kept muttering about this Deputy General Cui.

Shen Zhishu listened quietly without interrupting.

After a long while, Xiaodie realized that she was mumbling and smiled embarrassedly.

Shen Zhishu then stood up and went to the next room.

Yan Chu came frequently these days, so she thought of preparing two sets of clothes for him to change easily.

By the way, I'd like to ask about the Cui family's news.

But after buying the clothes, he disappeared for a few days.

Although Shen Zhishu didn't need to see him every day, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly disappeared.

That afternoon, Shen Wang suddenly came over.

"The King of Qin hasn't been here for quite some time, right?"

As soon as he arrived, he asked about Yan Chu's news, and judging from his expression, he looked very serious.

It made as if Shen Zhishu had fallen out of favor.

"Yes, probably he is busy with official duties, don't worry, father."

But they are fine, their relationship is stable and there are no conflicts.

"I'm afraid it's not official business. This morning, Marquis Su appeared in the court. It is said that he has returned to Kyoto for several days, but it has not been announced to the public."

However, Shen Wang brought her a big news.

Su Rong's nominal father has returned to Kyoto?

But in his previous life, Marquis Su returned when the King of Qin was about to ascend the throne. Why did he come back earlier this time?

"I heard that he has been living in the Prince Qin's Mansion these days."

Seeing that she couldn't believe it, Shen Wang added another sentence.

So Yan Chu didn't come here because Su Junhou is back?

Is he here for Su Rong?

"Today in the court, Marquis Su and some ministers submitted a petition requesting the restoration of the Princess of Qin's position in the court, and His Majesty did not refuse."

So he came back just to support Su Rong.

"Don't be afraid. Just stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy until the baby is born safely. When you give birth to a royal child, no matter how powerful Marquis Su is, he won't be able to touch you."

Shen Wang thought Shen Zhishu was frightened and hurried to comfort him.

But in my heart, I hated myself. Why couldn't I be a strong backer to support my daughter?

"Father, please be careful. If anything special happens recently, you must pay attention."

I hid in the inner house, fearing there would be no danger.

But my father is out on a case, who knows if Su Junhou will take action against him?

"Although Marquis Su is protective of his daughter, he won't do anything to me, right? He is an open and aboveboard person..."

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. If he is really an open-minded gentleman, why would Su Rong be like this? Father should be on guard."

Shen Zhishu doesn't think that a man who can send his beloved woman into the palace to compete for favor, and then erase her if he fails in the palace fight, would be an upright gentleman.

Shen Wang wanted to refute, but after hearing such words, he really had nothing to say.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Since I can't be a strong backer, I will just listen to my daughter, be more careful and not become a burden.

After the morning court session, Marquis Su followed Yan Chu back to the Prince of Qin's palace.

In Yayuan, Yan Chu sat with the father and daughter and had lunch.

"The mansion has been packed up. I will go back in the afternoon."

Su Junhou is a soldier. There is a strong aura of murderousness in his words and deeds. He is extremely majestic. Just sitting there, it is like an axe hanging above his head, which may fall down at any time and behead someone.

"I'm sending my father off."

Su Rong said softly.

Then Marquis Su looked at Yan Chu.

"Your Majesty, Rong'er has been with me since she was young and has suffered a lot. I am useless and have never been able to give her a happy environment. Now she is in the palace and is pregnant. My greatest wish is that she and her future grandson can be safe and happy..."

Su Junhou said this earnestly.

But that face was too tough, and speaking like that sounded like he was giving orders to Yan Chu.

"Father, the child and I are fine, you can rest assured."

Yan Chu frowned slightly.

But before he could say anything, Su Rong spoke up for him.

"I am not blind. I can tell whether you are OK or not."

Who would have thought that Su Junhou would not hide anything at all.

"I just got a little squeamish after getting pregnant. I can't eat or sleep. Don't think too much about it, father."

"What do you think of what Rong'er did earlier, father-in-law?"

But this is clearly blaming Yan Chu, how could he not hear it and just sit back and do nothing?
