Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Granny Yang was also bewildered by the Duke and his wife's behavior, but she consoled them, "Princess, why don't you go back to your own place for now? I've noticed something's not right with Madam's expression, so I think things will turn around soon."

Although her words were meant to comfort her, she was also feeling very anxious.

After hearing this, Shen Luoxi also felt that her mother's condition was indeed not good recently, and perhaps they should give each other some time to relax.

She nodded and decided to leave for the time being and come back after her mother calmed down.

When Mrs. Kang returned to the mansion, she saw Duke Anguo and his eldest son waiting there.

The two men looked nervous, with anticipation and anxiety in their eyes, especially Duke Anguo, whose eyes were filled with endless worry and concern.

He asked with concern: "What does Xue'er say?"

In response to this, Mrs. Kang's face did not have a smile on it, but became extremely serious.

She fell into a long silence at this moment, and her silent answer seemed to knock on the hearts of everyone present, making the atmosphere around her even heavier.

Prince Shen felt a little uneasy when he saw his mother's silence. He thought that this might be a temporary emotional expression of his sister. After all, she was used to being pampered.

He tried to comfort his father: "I don't think my sister will be upset. Perhaps your actions recently went too far. It will be fine after some time."

Unlike his son's nonchalant response, Duke Anguo's expression became more serious and his thoughts became more profound.

He believed that becoming a queen was not something that could be achieved simply by relying on family background.

My daughter's usual docile behavior was particularly evident during the plague.

But at that time, he gradually realized that she was not as gentle and submissive as she seemed.

He couldn't help but feel doubtful. Is this attitude directed only at Mrs. Kang?

Or has the entire family been caught up in this turmoil?

Whenever he thought of this, Duke Anguo's heart was filled with pain and regret, regretting that his momentary impulse had led to such an embarrassing situation.

After watching his wife take the medicine, Duke Anguo took his son to the study.

The study was so quiet that you could hear your heartbeat, and both father and son felt a little uneasy.

An Guogong was about to ask, but suddenly stopped. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question that worried him: "Do you think Xue'er holds a grudge against our family?"

After hearing this, Master Shen was so frightened that he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.

He tried hard to swallow the hot tea in his throat and responded hastily: "That's unlikely, Dad, you worry too much."

Despite his words of comfort, he still had doubts in his heart and secretly decided to find an opportunity to test it himself the next day.

Just then, he suddenly had a new idea.

He mustered up the courage to suggest, "Father, if we find a reason to make everyone outside think that finding Shen Luoxi was a misunderstanding, then wouldn't it have nothing to do with us?"

Faced with his son's naive and unrealistic idea, Duke Anguo shook his head slightly to express his opposition.

The father and son had very different views on this issue and could not reach a consensus for a while.

As soon as the court meeting ended the next day, Duke Anguo hurriedly looked for an opportunity to request a meeting with Princess Shen Muxue in the palace, hoping to find a solution to the problem from her.

As they strolled through the Imperial Garden, Shen Muxue broke the silence with a soft voice: "Father, you came to see me today. Is it because Mother is not feeling well?"

Just as Duke Anguo was still struggling with how to put it, the perceptive princess directly addressed the crux of the matter.

"Your mother is still in good health and there is nothing unusual."

Duke Anguo replied, and then continued, "But when she came home yesterday, she had a clear look of dissatisfaction on her face. I wonder if there was any disagreement between her and you."

Hearing this, Shen Muxue couldn't help but stop, turned around and carefully observed the expression of the man next to her, and a question arose in her heart.

Is it really because of this incident?

In her impression, although her father always loved her very much, he rarely interfered in family affairs.

Does the sudden display of this different kind of attention now mean that he has become more sensitive in some ways since becoming the queen?

This situation is very likely to exist.

After all, when this father suffered all kinds of injustice in the past years, he never took the initiative to ask a question.

Thinking of this, Shen Muxue couldn't help but sigh secretly. The fierce argument with her mother yesterday seemed to have laid the groundwork for re-examining the family relationship between them today.

No matter how one looks at this change, the person in front of him is after all his adoptive father and an important official.

For Shen Muxue, maintaining a good relationship with each other is extremely important. Otherwise, if the relationship breaks down, the entire Zhenguo Mansion will gradually lean towards the side of King Xuan, whose power is growing day by day. That is an absolutely unacceptable situation.

"Father, you should understand that Mother has never had a favorable impression of me. Yet, yesterday, for the first time, she even proposed to mend the long-standing rift between mother and daughter."

Her voice dropped slightly as she spoke, "But for me, so-called 'maternal love' is no longer necessary. Whenever I face her reluctant attitude, I only feel more embarrassed. So last night I told her: everything can remain the same."

After hearing this, Duke Anguo slowly nodded in agreement, then asked cautiously, "It's because I've been so busy with official duties that I've neglected family matters, causing you to suffer so much. Do you resent me?"

Hearing this, Shen Muxue raised her head and smiled brightly.

"Except for Grandmother, no one in this world loves me more than you do. If I could forget even such a kindness, I would be truly ungrateful. Father, you think too highly of me when you say that!"

Duke Anguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that his daughter was just dissatisfied with Mrs. Kang and did not have any hostility towards the entire family.

"Is the Emperor satisfied with your treatment?"

He then changed the subject.

"Of course it's great. The Queen Mother reminds the Emperor every day. If His Majesty shows any indifference towards me, I will immediately complain to the Queen Mother. Now the Emperor is a little afraid of me."

She said with a smile.

"Ha, this is my good daughter, she won't suffer any loss at all!"

The two were full of joy in their conversation and their relationship remained as harmonious as before.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shen Muxue's mind - about the hidden danger of Shen Luoxi.

If this person causes trouble again, I'm afraid it will be the Zhenguo Mansion that will have to clean up the mess in the end.

"Father, what are your thoughts on solving Shen Luoxi's problem?"

In fact, Duke Anguo originally planned to keep it secret. After all, once the emperor knew the truth, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
