Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

What's more, Shi Qing's status is no longer what it used to be. She can have a say in front of the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Prime Minister.

These changes made the old lady overjoyed, and she secretly felt fortunate that she had not given up on her granddaughter.

Therefore, many people wanted to use this opportunity to get close to Shi Qing, but of course the old lady declined.

Although the Shangshu Mansion is not of high status, it does not need to curry favor with the powerful. And her granddaughter has just returned not long ago, so the old lady naturally does not want to interfere too much in Shi Qing's marriage.

Besides, let Shi Qing choose her own husband! That way, she will definitely find a husband that suits her heart.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear and said happily.

"As long as Qingqing invites me, Grandma will naturally be free. Then, Grandma will also go to watch the ceremony, okay?"

Shi Qing nodded vigorously, glanced at the innocent Minister Fu from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile:

"Father, someone was looking for you outside the mansion just now. I took the initiative to bring them into the mansion. I wonder if you will blame me, father?"

Minister Fu was originally immersed in the feeling that his daughter had grown up, and his dissatisfaction with Shi Qing gradually dissipated.

But when he heard Shi Qing suddenly mention him, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Oh? What's the matter, Qingqing? Tell father quickly."

Shi Qing pretended to be calm and said to Mingyue.

"Mingyue, bring that child up here."

As soon as the words came out, Shen's face turned pale instantly. She clenched her handkerchief tightly, and a trace of despair and anger flashed in her eyes.

Her lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out.

Shen secretly wondered, was she right? Was that woman coming to ask for a legitimate status?

Shen's eyes fell on Minister Fu's face, trying to find some clues or explanations from his expression.

However, Minister Fu's reaction made her even more confused.

Minister Fu looked at the child with a look of surprise on his face, frowned and asked.

"Hey kid, weren't I told to take good care of your wet nurse in Yanliu Lane? Why are you running to the Shangshu Mansion?"

Hearing this, Shen's face turned even paler, and her heart seemed to be hit hard.

It turns out that this so-called "wet nurse" is the woman who had an affair with Minister Fu!

Shen's eyes widened, staring at Minister Fu in disbelief, her heart filled with pain and disappointment.

She couldn't believe that her husband was so shameless as to openly call a concubine a wet nurse just to cover up their relationship.

Qingci took out a tattered purse from his arms, which contained some small change. He carefully handed the silver to the other party and spoke anxiously.

"This is the little money I have. Thank you for your kindness. You are so kind to take us in, but we must not ask for anything more."

Minister Fu looked at the young child in front of him. The small pile of silver coins only added up to about thirty taels at most. It was probably all his money.

This child is not only sensible, but also very responsible, which makes people like him.

"Okay, I'll take it. But what's your name?"

The child answered obediently, "My name is Aci, sir."

"Aci? Hmm, nice name. Since you're here, why not have dinner together?"

Faced with the invitation, A Ci wanted to politely decline, but with the old lady's tacit approval and encouragement, he finally stayed and had dinner with them.

During this meal, everyone's mood was different and everyone had their own thoughts.

Especially Shen, the delicious food now tasted like chewing wax. She was really disgusted by Minister Fu for doing such a thing.

He clearly knew A Ci's identity, but he pretended to be arrogant. Did this family think he was a fool?

The more Shen thought about it, the angrier she became. She lost her temper, threw away the chopsticks in her hand, and said unhappily.

"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law has been feeling unwell recently, so she left first."

After saying this, without waiting for the old lady's consent, Shen left in a rage, but she only hated the old lady more in her heart.

The old lady looked at Aci and became more and more satisfied. Look, her son was also very satisfied with Aci.

It seems that it is time to go with the flow, the old lady said, looking at Minister Fu who was concentrating on eating, with a plan in mind.

"Since Ah Ci's wet nurse is unwell, let Nanny Wen take care of him for a while. Since Hesong Hall is peaceful, it's fine to keep Ah Ci."

Minister Fu frowned, thinking that his mother's action was too abrupt.

"Mother, that's someone else's child. It's against the rules for us to stay."

"Why not ask Ah Ci if he's willing to stay?"

Minister Fu then went to ask. He knew that Aci was well-behaved and sensible and would not do anything to embarrass others. If he really kept him, Shen might turn the whole house upside down.

He was still very sensible, but he didn't know that even though he was now very insightful, he was still hated by the Shen family.

A Ci and Shi Qing looked at each other, and he nodded to Minister Fu.

"I like Sister Qingqing. If I can play with her, Aci is willing to do so, as long as Master doesn't think it's a bother."

Minister Fu, “…”

He had no idea that this kid was so rude and blocked his own way out. However, the words had been spoken and there was no reason to take them back.

The more he thought about it, the more helpless Minister Fu felt.

Shi Qing also smiled and said, "Father, I think this child is well-behaved, cute, and smart. I really like her! Moreover, I feel that we have a strong connection. I just want her to stay with me for a while. Madam is kind-hearted and will definitely agree. Don't you agree?"

Minister Fu was easily influenced by others, and when he heard Shi Qing say this, he began to waver.

He thought that if he agreed to this, it might ease the relationship with the Shen family.

So he nodded and said, "Forget it, since Ah Ci is willing to stay, then you can live in the mansion first."

Shi Qing was secretly delighted. Things were easier to handle than he had imagined. He didn't expect A Ci to be so considerate. It saved him a lot of effort.

Upon seeing this, A Ci gave Shi Qing a mysterious smile, as if he was asking for credit.

In fact, Shi Qing and A Ci’s acquaintance was not accidental.

They had met long before Shi Qing returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

Even the old lady's ability to find A Ci to adopt him was secretly arranged by Shi Qing.

As for A Ci's true identity, it is naturally very mysterious.

It turned out that in the original plot, Shi Qing had seen a plot that told the story of Emperor Wen'an who had a favorite concubine who unfortunately died of illness after giving birth to a son.

It was a year of disaster, and the third prince disappeared mysteriously and eventually fell into the hands of human traffickers.

And the Aci in front of him was none other than Emperor Wen'an's third son who had been lost for many years.

Shen was very unwilling to see that Minister Fu achieved his goal so easily.

She quickly said, "Master, he is just a child of unknown origin. If you adopt him here now, what will his family think?"

Shi Qing smiled and said, "Madam, what are you talking about? Father agrees with this matter, grandmother approves, and even Ah Ci is willing. Why are you the only one who doesn't agree? Could it be that you have some dissatisfaction in your heart?"

As soon as she said this, the old lady's eyes became sharp and she said unhappily.

"Ms. Shen, you are usually very open-minded, so why are you so stingy today? I'm just taking the child in for a few days, what are you worried about?"

Minister Fu also felt that Shen was very stingy. He had been avoiding her out of guilt, but now he felt that Shen was making a big deal out of nothing.

The old lady was so worried about his heirs that he was almost breathless. Now that a lovable child had finally appeared, why not keep him for a while?

Shen was about to blurt out Minister Fu's secret when the maid beside her stopped her and spoke in a low voice.

"Madam, it will alert the enemy."

These words calmed Shen down. Yes, if the mistress had not been caught, the master would not acknowledge her. He has always been heartless and it is not impossible that he would abandon her for the mistress.

She could only pretend to be magnanimous, "The master and the old lady both agree, so of course I have no objection. Liu'er will prepare a room for the young master and let him live in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Liu Er replied respectfully, "Yes, I understand."

The old lady was satisfied. Xiaoxiang Garden was very big, and the time was approaching. If Shen was not pregnant, Aci would be the adopted son of the Shangshu Mansion.

Fortunately, her granddaughter was smart and came up with such a solution. Even if Shen was humiliated, she would not stop it.

So, A Ci stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which was very close to Youlan Courtyard. The old lady gave Shi Qing three hundred taels of silver and asked her to take care of A Ci secretly.

Shi Qing naturally agreed.

Half an hour later, Aci's luggage was placed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Shi Qing, in the name of the old lady, found some good cloth in the warehouse and prepared to make a few clothes for Aci.

A Ci was looking at the square courtyard and was originally in a bad mood. His villa in Jiangnan was much larger than this one. If the right prime minister had not said that he had other arrangements, he would not have agreed to come to the Shangshu Mansion.

However, most of the people in this mansion are confused and cannot distinguish right from wrong.

A Ci likes the eldest sister of the Fu family. She has a gentle personality and is as gentle as the imperial sister.

"It's unfair for Your Highness to live here, but I promised Master Situ that I would take good care of Your Highness. Don't worry, this place is very safe."

A Ci knew his own life experience. Three years ago, his mother died of illness in a disaster. He insisted on leaving the palace to play and got separated from the guards.

Later, an old man in the crowd said he would take him back to the palace. Ah Ci believed him and followed the old man, but he didn't know that he was a human boy.

The man was also cruel. He raised his hand and knocked him unconscious, then sold him to the countryside.

A Ci suffered a lot. His status as a prince did not bring him any benefits, but instead brought him fatal disaster. If he had not been lucky, he would have died outside.

It was not until a year ago that Situ Jin's men found him. However, there was another force looking for A Ci, and that was the people in the palace.

Therefore, Situ Jin has been secretly having people protect A Ci.

Shi Qing got the news from Tuanzi.

The current emperor has only two sons and one daughter. The eldest princess has been married for several years. The existence of the third prince may affect the second prince's competition for the position of crown prince.

So, the person behind the scenes secretly plotted against the third prince.

In the original plot, the third prince Aci was shot to death by arrows in the heart. It was a snowy day in the cold winter. He was wearing thin clothes and slowly closed his eyes in the snow.

From then on, I never saw Emperor Wen An for the last time.

Ah Ci said softly, "Sister treats me very well, but if there is a chance, I would like to meet the Right Prime Minister. There are undercurrents in the court, and I am worried about my father."

Shi Qing naturally agreed, "Next month, the White Deer Academy will hold its coming-of-age ceremony. The Emperor and Concubine Shu will both attend. Then, your Highness will be able to meet the Emperor and the Right Prime Minister."

A Ci nodded heavily. He knew very well that some things could not be rushed, but he was just a little worried.

Shi Qing secretly asked Mingyue to deliver a letter to Situ Jin, informing him of the whereabouts of the Third Prince, and then found a few skilled attendants to secretly protect the Third Prince's safety.

After Minister Fu and Shen returned to the main courtyard, he placed the jewelry he bought from Zhucui Pavilion next to Shen in a flattering manner.

"Madam, I was too busy recently and didn't have time to take care of you. I'm here to apologize to you. You are gentle and kind, so you will definitely not hold it against me, right?"

Shen looked at the ordinary freshwater pearl necklace without any emotion in her eyes. The concubine he kept outside had very expensive food, clothing and other expenses. It was ridiculous for her to get rid of her with this tattered necklace.

"Master, I have treated you wholeheartedly over the years, without a single mistake. I only wish that we could live happily together as a couple."

"nature."

Seeing that he had no intention of hiding anything, Shen Shi seemed to want to pass over the matter lightly.

She said bluntly, "You and I have been married for more than ten years. I know that you are unhappy that we didn't give birth to a boy, but you should never have kept it a secret from me and kept a mistress outside. Fu Zhengguo, can you please have some conscience?"

Concubine? What concubine?

Minister Fu looked at Shen with a puzzled expression. He was so angry that he didn't even think about explaining.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've never had a concubine. Why are you making things up? Shu'er, I'm tired and don't want to argue with you. If you're so unreasonable, don't blame me for being cruel."

Shen's eyes were cold. She broke the pearl necklace given by Minister Fu, and the round beads fell to the ground, scattered everywhere.

"When you coaxed me into becoming your concubine, I shouldn't have believed your sweet words, Fu Zhengguo, I don't want to see you."

Minister Fu rarely showed a humble attitude, but Shen's words brought him back to his original form.

He looked extremely embarrassed. Shen, who was usually humble and submissive, had become more and more aggressive recently. Naturally, Minister Fu could not keep his head down forever.

"Hmph, in that case, you should reflect on yourself."

After saying that, Minister Fu turned away without even bothering to coax Shen.

The maids outside the main courtyard looked at each other in confusion, and when they saw Minister Fu coming out, they quickly knelt down and bowed.

Minister Fu left quickly, feeling extremely angry.

Originally, he was worried that Shen would feel bad because the old lady urged her to have a baby. Unexpectedly, she did not appreciate it and instead scolded him.

Naturally, Minister Fu could not compromise. He wanted to marry a well-educated, gentle and virtuous wife, not a wife to be worshipped by him.

All the maids in the main courtyard were sent away by Shen, as she didn't want anyone to see her in such a miserable and heartbroken state.

Shen sat by the window, silently shedding tears. She still had her charm, and looking like this made people feel pity.
