The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

"I think what the emperor said makes sense. Even if we don't consider their reputation, we should consider their safety. Living outside like this is not a long-term solution for them."

"Besides, the Emperor has already ordered Concubine Qing to be expelled from the Shangguan Mansion, so no one will poison Madam Shangguan anymore."

"If Miss Shangguan really doesn't go back, then wouldn't that just be what Aunt Qing wants, making room for her two children? Wouldn't that make the bad guys even happier?"

After listening to her mother's analysis, Shen Leyan felt that it seemed quite reasonable. Suddenly, she felt that she seemed to have misunderstood Emperor Yong'an yesterday, and even said some angry words to Baoshun to take him back. She immediately felt a little regretful.

Seeing her dejected expression, Mother Shen patted her head and said with a smile, "Actually, you have done very well. I am very pleased."

"It's just that you're still young, so it's normal that you don't think about the interests involved. At your age, as long as you don't act recklessly, I hope you can live a more carefree life."

"It's just that Le Yan, you still have a long way to go in the future. I really hope and I don't want you to grow up so quickly."

"Mother..."

Mother Shen's mood at this moment can be described as both worried and relieved. "But fortunately, you still have us. You must remember that your family will always be your backing. I also believe that the emperor can protect you."

"Mother, I understand, but what should Sister Shangguan do now?"

"You don't have to rush back now."

Shen Leyan suddenly realized and said, "I understand what mother means. We can wait until Madam Shangguan's poison is cured before returning to the Shangguan Mansion."

Shen Lebai still didn't quite understand the twists and turns involved.

Looking at my brother's puzzled expression, I thought to myself: All men are pigs.

He kindly explained, "If we go back now, both of us will be angry, and it won't help. Sister Shangguan will definitely not want to do that. After Madam Shangguan recovers from her illness, she'll have someone to back her up."

"That's right, so this period of time is the time for you to behave well, brother."

"Your sister is right, Le Bai, you must seize this opportunity. I am rooting for you!"

"Mother, why are you also..."

Mother Shen said mysteriously, "Do you think you can hide those little thoughts from me?"

"As a mother, I have been through this myself."

"Yueyin is a good child and has suffered a lot. You should be nicer to him."

Shen Lebai was very firm: "Of course, I know everything."

Mother Shen shook her head and continued, "What A-niang said is not just superficial concern, but concern from the heart, making the other person trust you and rely on you, do you understand?"

"Trust me, rely on me?"

"That's right. Your father does this very well. You can learn from him." The smile on Shen's mother's lips grew wider.

Shen Lebai nodded seriously, "I understand, kid."

"Mother, my brother and I are going to visit Sister Shangguan today. My brother said he wants to find two maids who are skilled in martial arts to protect her."

"That's great, go ahead."

Mother Shen watched the two of them leave and smiled softly, "First love is the most precious."

Shen Lebai first went to the slave market to select a maid who knew martial arts. After the two parted ways, Shen Leyan walked towards her own yard. She decided to give the lip balm and essential oil she had made to Sister Shangguan today.

The gardenia was soaked in roselle oil for a few days, and when you open the cup, you can smell the full fragrance of gardenia.

Shen Leyan had tried it once last night, applying it on the ends of her hair. It had a natural floral scent, and she could still smell the faint scent of gardenia.

After packing these things, he took Zhiyue to Sister Shangguan's house. He also bought some snacks and pastries on the street to bring over.

Shangguan Yueyin saw her coming and came out to greet her with great joy: "Sister Le Yan, you are here."

Shen Leyan raised the cake in her hand and strode forward: "Sister Shangguan, look what good things I brought you!"

Shangguan Yueyin saw that Zhiyue still had a large box of things in her hand, thinking it was another ginseng tonic. She frowned slightly, her expression very serious: "Why did you bring so many things here again? I don't lack anything here. I'd rather you come and keep me company."

Seeing her serious expression, Shen Leyan knew she had misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "Sister Shangguan, you misunderstood. Those are all things I made by hand. You will know later."

"I bought these just now when I passed by on the street. I thought in case you guys haven't had breakfast yet, I brought you some food."

When Caiyue heard it was food, she stifled a laugh and joked, "Miss, maybe you were craving for it when you passed by the pastry shop?"

She used to run errands for the young lady often, specifically going to buy pastries and biscuits from the shop in the west of the city.

Shangguan Yueyin finally regained her smile: "Your young lady is just a greedy little cat."

"However, it just so happens that we haven't had breakfast yet, so Sister Le Yan opened it just in time."

Shen Leyan said excitedly, "Really? Then take it and eat it."

"Zhiyue, please help distribute some to the other maids."

"By the way, have the miracle doctor and aunt eaten yet?"

"Lian'er made some medicinal porridge this morning, and they've all already used it."

"That's good. How is Auntie's health now?"

Shangguan Yueyin put down the rice cake in her hand, her eyes suddenly reddened. "The doctor said the current situation is not optimistic. A'niang's health was not very good to begin with, and the poison has already corroded her body..."

"how so……?"

Shen Leyan hugged her, patted her back, and comforted her softly: "Sister Shangguan..."

"It's okay, don't worry about me... I... I actually knew it a long time ago."

Seeing her trying so hard to hold back her emotions, Shen Leyan's eyes suddenly turned red: "We will be with you no matter what."

"We can't lose heart until the very end. Maybe things will turn around."

"Let's go ask the miracle doctor if he needs any precious herbs. As long as they can cure Auntie's illness, we can find a way to get them."

Shangguan Yueyin choked up and said, "Okay! Let's go now."

"Sister Shangguan, please finish eating this first. If you go like this, your aunt will feel uncomfortable too."

Seeing her nod, Shen Leyan went to the side and took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face: "Sister Shangguan, you must also take care of yourself. If you fall down, there will be no one to take care of your aunt."

"I know, thank you, sister Le Yan. Now I don't know what to say except thank you."

"Then Sister Shangguan, please don't talk about this in the future. We are as close as sisters. Why should you be polite to me? If you say thank you again, I will get angry." Shen Leyan pouted.
