"Uncle, you mean that someone sent a letter to the Shen family specifically, and the letter told you about your husband's life experience?"
Luo Ran suddenly remembered what his uncle had just said and asked.
Shen Boli nodded: "Yes, I just left the house this morning when a letter mixed with stones was thrown into the carriage."
As he said that, he took out the letter. It was said to be a letter, but it was actually just an ordinary piece of rice paper. Luo Ran opened it, and it read crookedly: Fu Nai is the eldest son of the current emperor.
After Shen Boli saw the letter, he immediately called Shen Yuzhi for questioning.
In fact, Shen Yuzhi had already had suspicions since the day Luo Ran asked him to help pick up Gao Dafu, but Luo Ran didn't say anything, so he pretended not to know.
By now, rumors were spreading, and someone actually had an idea to reach the Shen family. He no longer concealed it and told his father what he had guessed.
Shen Boli thought that the two cousins had agreed to hide it from everyone. Secondly, he was worried about Luo Ran, so he called Luo Ran for questioning.
"What about dad? Have you also received an anonymous letter?"
Luo Ran asked Luo Deyun again.
Luo Deyun said with a smile: "There are so many anonymous letters. I received a letter from Jin'an. He asked me to take you mother and son to the Hou Mansion to stay for a few days, and then I will pick you up when he comes back."
"It seems that he also knows what happened in Jingzhong."
Shen Boli said.
Luo Deyun nodded: "This matter has caused a big fuss, and it is obvious that there are people behind it who are adding fuel to the flames."
Shen Boli nodded, looked at Luo Ran and said, "Ranran, go see your grandmother first. She has been talking about you these days."
Luo Ran knew that her uncle was going to talk to her father about government affairs, and it was not convenient for her to listen, so she resigned.
Shen Yuzhi: "I'll send Ranran off."
Seeing that his father and uncle didn't say anything, Luo Ran nodded: "Thank you, cousin."
After coming out, Luo Ran exhaled.
Shen Yuzhi looked at her funny and a little angry, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I thought you didn't think of me as your cousin anymore."
"How could it be? Why did my cousin say that?"
Luo Ran said in surprise.
When I saw the hurt expression on his face, I understood what he was referring to and said with a wry smile: "Cousin, this matter is of great importance. I am not sure and I don't even dare to think too much about it."
As for the fear of causing harm to the Shen family, she didn't say anything. It was just a matter of life if she said it at this time.
Shen Yuzhi looked at her thick eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Do you regret it?"
Luo Ran shook his head and looked down at his feet: "Didn't my cousin tell me that the most incomprehensible and cowardly thing in the world is regret? Since you couldn't help yourself from the beginning, why regret it?"

By the time Fu Yi led his men to break into the Fu Mansion, Luo Ran had already returned to the Champion Hou Mansion with his children.
Yuan Shuyi only learned about it after Luo Ran, mother and son, came back. He quickly asked people to clean up the yard, beat the servants again, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Zhengbai happened to come to see his nephew. When he saw his sister looking frightened, he said in an old-fashioned way: "Sister, now you are the mistress of the house, and your brother-in-law and niece treat you well. You must not think of it wrong."
Yuan Shuyi just took a breath, and when he heard his brother say this, he didn't react for a moment: "What did I think was wrong?"
Yuan Zhengbai pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yuan Shuyi thought carefully, raised his hand and patted his head, and said angrily: "You don't think that the reason why I put so much effort just now is because of that, then who is, what kind of eldest prince?"
Yuan Zhengbai glanced at her and said, "Of course I know my sister won't think so."
Yuan Shuyi gave him a plausible expression, and then Yuan Zhengbai continued: "You are Mrs. Hou now. You can naturally act like your mistress in whatever you want to do, and there is no need to rely on others."
Only then did Yuan Shuyi understand what this brat was talking about. He was a little dumbfounded and said angrily: "I know! You are talking about the incident when I asked Ranran to deal with Luo Ruxue last time! Don't worry, I won't do that. Done!"
"Once is enough to regret!"
Yuan Shuyi whispered.
It was a good thing that he had made a mistake just once. Even his nerdy brother knew to teach him a lesson.
Seeing that his sister was telling the truth, Yuan Zhengbai hurriedly said: "Sister, my brother is not complaining about you. Don't worry, I will end this fall. Brother Shen said that as long as I perform normally, I will definitely pass the exam. I will give it to you then." Stand up and you don’t have to be afraid anymore.”
Yuan Shuyi's eyes were a little sore, but her younger brother understood her best. Although Luo Deyun and Luoran were very kind to her, even if she was clever last time, the father and daughter treated her as always.
But only she knew in her heart that what she did was not ultimately due to lack of confidence.

No matter how loud the rumors were outside, the inner courtyard of the Champion Hou Mansion was quiet.
Luo Hongxuan is now more than two months old. The red wrinkles from confinement have faded away, his face is white and tender, and he can also smile. Luo Ran looked at his brother who was younger than his own child and liked him so much that he wished he could hold him in his arms whenever he had time.
Jing Xing didn't care. Although his mouth was pursed tightly every time he saw his mother hugging his uncle, he didn't cry or make trouble.
But Qing Ning couldn't do it. The little girl was overbearing. In addition to hugging herself and her brother, her mother could lift the roof of the Hou Mansion with her cries as long as she hugged Xuan'er.
So Luo Ran tried his best to carry her on his back every time.
But unfortunately, the little girl's nap was short today and she woke up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual. She happened to catch her mother holding her uncle in her arms and coaxing her. She immediately stopped doing it, her crying was so loud that no one could coax her.
Before Luo Deyun stepped through the second door, he heard his granddaughter crying and speeded up his pace.
As soon as he came in, he saw Qing Ning throwing her little head up and crying, like it was thundering but not raining, while Luo Ran was holding Xuan'er next to her and watching the fun with a smile on her face.
Luo Deyun knew clearly that the little girl did it on purpose, but he couldn't help but feel distressed. He stepped forward and picked up Qing Ning and coaxed: "Ning'er, don't cry. Grandpa will carry you to the garden."
As soon as she heard that she was going out to play, Xiao Qingning stopped crying immediately.
The way he was able to move freely made Luo Ran really dumbfounded.
Luo Deyun held his granddaughter in one hand, took out a letter with the other, and handed it over: "Your letter."
When Luo Ran heard it, he knew who the letter was from.
Counting it all together, it had been five or six days since she returned to the Hou Mansion, and there was still no letter from that person. She couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she couldn't wait to hand Xuan'er to her grandmother, and went back to the house to read the letter.
He didn't think it was anything before, but it wasn't until he was no longer in the capital that Luo Ran realized that he had unknowingly gotten used to having him around. People who can't see him or hear his voice feel at ease even if they receive a letter from him.
The letter simply stated the reason why there was no reply for several days, saying that there was something delayed on the road. But nothing specific was said.
Luo Ran could probably guess that Fu Yi could attack the two children while she was in the capital, not to mention that he was outside and he knew the dangers involved.
The letter also said that he would be back in a few days and would come to pick up their mother and son.
Luo Deyun came back after holding Qing Ning for a while, and Luo Ran had already finished reading the letter.
Seeing the calmness on her face, Luo Deyun felt relieved and said, "You don't have to worry too much. He has never encountered anything in so many years. Those people can't do anything to him."
Luo Ran nodded and couldn't help but ask: "Where is the Emperor? What is your attitude now?"
