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

Xi Xiang took the silver and went straight to Lingyanyuan where Shen Leyao lived.

Shen Leyao was about to go find Shen Muxue to settle the score, but when she saw Xixiang, she couldn't help but get angry: "Shen Muxue sent you? Go back and tell her for me, don't think that she can cover up everything without her mother. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price..."

"Second Miss, Qingya is fine, she just fainted." Xixiang hurriedly clarified, then took out the silver and explained her purpose.

"I really have no other choice. If this gets to the eldest lady's ears, my life will be over. If the second lady can help me through this difficult time, I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Shen Leyao listened with half belief and half doubt.

Xi Xiang continued, "Second Miss, don't you want to know what happened during the month when the eldest lady was missing? Madam Han said she was taking the eldest lady back home to visit a patient, but how the eldest lady left, you know best, don't you?"

These words immediately touched upon Shen Leyao's concerns.

She had tried her best to marry Ling Fan, and the two had met privately many times in the mansion.

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a mistress. Although Shen Muxue is as beautiful as a fairy, Ling Fan is still attracted to her.

But the marriage was already arranged by the Prime Minister's original wife sixteen years ago. Even the invitation card was changed, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

If they want to change this marriage, the Marquis' Mansion will have a reason to cancel the engagement unless Shen Muxue's reputation is damaged.

Therefore, she and Ling Fan planned to lure Shen Muxue to a villa on the outskirts of the city.

For the sake of his future, Ling Fan also gave Shen Muxue to Zhang Dewen, the son of Minister Zhang.

Unexpectedly, the villa suddenly caught fire and Zhang Dewen died. Everyone thought that Shen Muxue was also killed.

In order to conceal the truth, Jin claimed that Shen Muxue had eloped.

Who would have thought that a month later, Shen Muxue not only came back alive, but also had a maid with superb martial arts skills by her side.

Nothing was going according to her script anymore.

Shen Leyao felt a little uneasy, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, I'll help you this time. But as for Shen Muxue, you know what to do."

Xi Xiang quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Second Miss. I will obey your orders from now on."

Shen Leyao asked someone to take the silver to the accounting office and return it to Shen Muxue in the name of monthly salary.

After a while, the servant came back in a panic and reported: "Second Miss, something terrible has happened. The eldest daughter has received her monthly salary and is asking to open the storehouse to check the dowry left by her mother."

When Shen Leyao heard this, she stood up from her chair.

Han's family was the only daughter of a general. Her dowry stretched for miles, and her trousseau filled two streets. All of it was earned through the old general's military exploits, especially the set of red gold, jade, and agate jewelry, which was priceless and enough to make the ladies in the palace pale in comparison.

This dowry must not fall into Shen Muxue's hands.

Shen Leyao immediately ordered: "Tell the servants in the accounting office that the key is with mother and we have to wait until mother comes back."

Shen Muxue didn't have a list and no evidence. After sixteen years, she might not be able to recognize which things were hers.

When mother comes back, just pick out something inexpensive for her.

Shen Leyao was secretly proud of her own wit.

Soon, the servant reported that Shen Muxue had left.

Shen Leyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and casually asked, "Where did she go?"

"Leaving the house."

Leaving home?

Shen Leyao sensed something was amiss and immediately decided, "Follow her closely and see what she's up to."

The streets are bustling with people.

Shen Muxue asked Qingyi to do something, and she led Anlan into a private room of a teahouse.

The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly came to life: [Master, we have detected that His Majesty is nearby. Why not use this opportunity to build rapport and pave the way for future entry into the palace?]

Shen Muxue was quite surprised to hear that His Majesty was actually in this teahouse.

But she had important things to do and had no time to seduce men.

He replied nonchalantly, "I have an idea."

The system went silent.

At this moment, Qingyi gently knocked on the door of the wing room: "Miss, the person has been brought here."

The door opened and a man walked in.

He turned out to be a short, plain-looking man.

The system chose silence, thinking to itself: Forget it, I'd better be invisible.

In the hall downstairs.

Shen Leyao saw the man enter Shen Muxue's room and immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "Shen Muxue, Shen Muxue, I thought you still had some dignity left, but unexpectedly you are a fickle slut."

We'll catch this shameless adulterer and adulteress later and see who still says those rumors are groundless.

By then, my mother will be able to come back from prison.

But, how can such a good show be without Brother Ling Fan?

Shen Leyao sent someone to invite Ling Fan, while she kept a close eye on the movements on the second floor.

Not long after, the two maids were kicked out of the room.

She became more and more certain that Shen Muxue was having a secret meeting with that man.

In my heart, I was hoping that Ling Fan would come soon so that they could catch the adulterer together.

In the third-floor wing.

His Majesty leaned back in a round-backed chair, listening to Dali Temple Minister Jiang Ziling's report on the flood disaster in Yanzhou and the situation of refugees entering the city.

The corner of my eye inadvertently passed by the window frame and happened to see Qingyi guarding the door.

Qingyi's presence means Shen Muxue is also here.

The image of that weak and innocent little girl, who was like a little white rabbit, emerged in my mind.

Your Majesty felt a little upset.

"Your Majesty, most of the funds have been converted into food and sent to the disaster area. The remaining funds are far from enough to accommodate the refugees. In my opinion, we might as well encourage officials to donate..."

After Jiang Ziling finished speaking, he called out "Your Majesty" several times, and the latter came back to his senses.

"That makes sense. I'll leave this matter to you."

Jiang Ziling bowed and replied, "As you wish."

The air was silent for three seconds.

"Is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Why don't you step back then?"

Jiang Ziling's face froze: "I will take my leave."

After Jiang Ziling left, His Majesty instructed the eunuch beside him, "Go and invite Qingyi over."

……

On this side, Shen Muxue has already negotiated the matter.

The man was about to leave, but Shen Muxue quickly said, "It is really presumptuous of you to come here today. To protect the reputation of both parties, please leave through the back door."

This person was none other than Sun Li, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

"That's how it should be."

He bowed deeply to Shen Muxue, "Thank you for your understanding."

Then he quietly left through the back door.

After the matter was settled, Shen Muxue ordered a pot of Biluochun.

He swirled the teapot gently, but didn't take a sip. "A friend of mine is sitting at the third table in the second row of the hall. Please give this teapot to her and tell her it's a gift from the store."

Then an ingot of silver was placed on the tray.

"Thank you for your generosity, young lady."

The waiter sent it out immediately.

Shen Muxue stroked the white porcelain bottle with a smile on her face.

She already knew that Shen Leyao was following her, so she just went along with it.

Then let’s see who is being caught.

in the hall.

While Shen Leyao was waiting anxiously, the waiter brought her a pot of the best Biluochun tea.

She drank it all in one gulp without even thinking.

Soon, she began to feel dry mouth and general discomfort.

She is not an unromantic person.

Nature knows what this reaction means.

She tried to suppress it, but the heat seemed to surge from her bones, making it difficult for her to control herself.

Just at this moment, Ling Fan walked in from the door.

Shen Leyao rushed over and said, "Brother Ling Fan, you are finally here."

"Yao'er, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ling Fan hadn't finished speaking when he noticed Shen Leyao's hand restlessly wandering in his arms: "Brother Ling Fan, help me, I can't hold on any longer..."

Eyes from all around turned towards him.

Ling Fan quickly held Shen Leyao's hand and said, "Yao'er, calm down first."

"I'm in so much pain, I need..."

Ling Fan quickly covered her mouth, ordered someone to open a private room on the second floor, and hurriedly brought Shen Leyao in.
