Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

The main courtyard of Prince Xuan’s palace.

Chu Mengyao was looking at the account book when Hong Xiu hurried in to report: "Princess, the prince is back and he went to Youlan Courtyard with the emperor's reward."

Chu Mengyao's eyes darkened, she put down the account book and said calmly: "The prince told me about this last night.

This time, the prince handled the case in Cangzhou, and our concubine contributed to it. There was also a case of stealing a child, which was also discovered by her. "

When Chu Mengyao finished speaking, there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes that she herself didn't even notice.

Hong Yin, who was sorting out the account books nearby, looked at Chu Mengyao worriedly after hearing this, and then said, "She is just lucky."

"Alas! But sometimes you have to bow to luck." Chu Mengyao sighed.

At this time, a little maid came in and reported: "Princess, Concubine Shen sent a maid to report that she needs to go back to her parents' home and leave now."

Chu Mengyao seemed to be thinking: "Why are you so anxious? Do you know what's going on?"

The little maid Yaoyao shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Then he asked, "How about I go and ask around?"

"No need. She has just been away with the prince for a few months. It's time for her to go back. Go and tell her that I know."

"Yes," the little maid bowed and left.

Chu Mengyao then looked at Hong Xiu and ordered, "Go and ask someone to prepare a carriage for her."

Hong Xiu asked regretfully, "Princess, the prince is still with her! The prince may have sent someone to prepare it."

Chu Mengyao glanced at her and explained, "Some things are fine if you don't know them, but once you know them, you have to do them even if it's just a formality."

After saying that, he picked up the account book at hand and started looking at it again.

Hongyue glared at her and said, "How stupid! Go quickly."

Hong Xiu smiled and was not angry, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Madam Zhao looked at her departing figure and sighed, "This Hongxiu is good in every way, except that she doesn't like to use her brain."

"Hahaha~~Mammy, she is so wise that she appears foolish!"

Shen Jingyi brought people to Shen Shilang's residence. As soon as she got off the carriage, Chujiu came over and saluted, saying, "Concubine, the people have been brought here."

Shen Jingyi turned her head to look to the side, and sure enough, she saw a carriage parked not far away with two people standing next to it.

"Is it in the car? Bring it down."

"Yes"

As soon as Chujiu waved his hand, the people standing on both sides of the carriage immediately stepped forward, opened the curtain, and pulled out a man and a woman. Both of them had their mouths blocked and their hands and feet were tied up.

Shen Jingyi took a quick glance and memories of this woman emerged in her mind. Her name seemed to be Shuangyan, and it turned out that she was the one who poisoned him.

Shen Jingyi held her belly with one hand and was supported by Xia Zhu with the other hand as she slowly walked over.

She stared coldly at the betraying woman in front of her.

"Shuangyan, long time no see."

Shuangyan had a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth and couldn't speak, but her eyes were full of fear. She shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face, and her face looked very miserable.

But Shen Jingyi had no mercy on this servant who betrayed his master.

Then she looked at the man again, "I heard you have two children?"

Shen Jingyi asked softly, stroking her belly with her hand and looking at the man in front of her with cold eyes.

Her voice was cold, as if carrying frost, making people shudder.

The man stood there nervously, his body trembling slightly.

His eyes were full of fear and he didn't dare to look directly into Shen Jingyi's eyes.

Shen Jingyi continued: "As parents, we always consider our children. I hope you can tell the truth today, understand?"

When the man heard this, his face turned pale.

He knew in his heart that if he didn't tell the truth, the consequences would be disastrous.

But he still hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing the man remain silent, Shen Jingyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a cruel smile.

That smile gave the man a chill, as if it was foreshadowing something terrible was about to happen.

"If you don't tell the truth, I can't guarantee what will happen to your child!" Shen Jingyi threatened.

Her words hit the man's heart like a heavy hammer, making it almost impossible for him to bear it.

The man finally couldn't help it and burst into tears.

He cried and shook his head desperately, as if he wanted to explain something, but his mouth was blocked and no sound came out.

Shen Jingyi ignored the two men and turned to walk into the mansion.

The door slowly opened when it saw her getting off the carriage.

At the same time, someone quickly ran into the mansion to report to the master and the eldest master.

Therefore, when Shen Jingyi walked into the door, she saw two people striding towards her.

The first thing that caught my eye was her bulging belly.

"Master, young master."

The maids brought by Shen Jingyi bowed respectfully.

However, Chuba, Chujiu and the ten accompanying soldiers stood quietly behind Shen Jingyi without any movement.

Shen Yaowen knew their identities very well and naturally didn't mind these things. He waved his hand gently, signaling Xia Zhu and others to stand up.

Then, he walked up quickly, his eyes full of joy, and said excitedly: "Yier, look at your belly, I'm going to be a grandfather."

Shen Jingyi stroked her belly gently, with a kind smile on her face, and answered softly: "Yes, my father is more than six months old!"

Shen Yaowen burst into laughter after hearing this, "Okay, okay, this is really a happy event!"

Shen Chenxi on the side said with some annoyance: "If Yi'er had known that you were pregnant, I wouldn't have written to ask you to come back."

Seeing the two of them looking at her belly with a curious look on their faces, Shen Jingyi couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, it was actually my negligence. I should have written to tell you in advance."

Shen Yaowen came back to his senses and quickly told Xia Zhu, "Xia Zhu, help the concubine go in and have a rest. Don't stand here in the wind."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Jingyi did not move, but looked at Shen Yaowen and said gently: "Father, let's go to the hall. I have something important to tell you."

Shen Yaowen's eyebrows jumped and he had a bad feeling.

At first he thought these people were escorting his daughter back.

Now it seems that it is not just a simple escort, especially since there are two people tied up at the back.

Shen Yaowen took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "Okay, let's go!"

When they arrived at the hall, the three of them sat down. The ten palace soldiers stood in an orderly manner outside the door, Chu Ba and Chu Jiu stood beside Shen Jingyi, and the four maids stood respectfully behind her.

The father and son looked at each other, and their hearts beat faster seeing this scene.

Shen Jingyi pointed at the woman kneeling in the middle and asked calmly, "Father, brother, do you still remember this person?"

Shen Yaowen looked at it carefully for a while and tried hard to recall, but finally shook his head, indicating that he didn't remember.

Instead, Shen Chenxi stood up and said uncertainly: "She...she is Shuangyan from my mother's courtyard. Isn't she dead?"

"Yes, she is Shuangyan. She is not dead, and she managed to escape very well."

Shen Jingyi said coldly, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness and anger.

"She is the one who poisoned my mother."
