It was already dark when Yu Zheng returned to the palace. After having dinner and bathing, he was doing business in the study.
Zhuiyun walked in with a calm expression and whispered: "Master, when I was cleaning the carriage, I found that Mrs. Shen Hou had left something behind."
"Oh?" Yu Zheng put down the document in his hand.
Zhuiyun took something out of his sleeve and presented it to him.
Yu Zheng took it and took a look, frowning.
A piece of brocade handkerchief is not expensive, but it is very important, just because it has the word "Shu" embroidered on it.
Personal things with names can easily cause misunderstandings.
If it were sent back to the Marquis Mansion, it would be difficult to tell whether it was left behind accidentally or given as a gift intentionally.
After careful consideration, Yu Zheng stood up, opened the secret compartment, and put the brocade handkerchief into the bottom layer where confidential documents were stored.
The next day, Jiang Shuyi was sitting on a soft couch reading a book when Mother Shen came.
"Mother." Jiang Shu propped himself up on the couch to stand up and greet her.
"Lie down quickly and don't get up. We don't talk about this in our family." Shen's mother hurriedly pushed her back.
Chu Yu brought a stool, and Shen's mother sat down in front of the couch and talked to Jiang Shu.
After some greetings and concerns, Mother Shen changed the topic and mentioned Yu Zheng and Yu Lan.
After a lot of twists and turns, the bottom line is that he wants Jiang Shu to walk with Yu Lan, and then hook up with Yu Zheng, so that Shen Changze can have support in the court.
Jiang Shu frowned when she heard this. If she really did as Shen's mother said, Shen Changze would be more and more suspicious.
She thought for a while and said tactfully: "My friendship with the eldest princess is not deep. If I try to take advantage of it, I might make the eldest princess disgusted. Furthermore, women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is a matter for men, and let them do it themselves." Let’s make friends.”
Mother Shen was confused. She was talking about having a helper in the court, so how could she be involved in government affairs?
"Although this is a man's business, as Nagasawa's wife, you should do your best to protect him."
Jiang Shu pursed her lips: "Is this what the Marquis meant?"
If Shen Changze gave instructions, then he would be too shameless.
Shen's mother shook her head: "I am Nagasawa's mother, so naturally I have to do my best for him."
Jiang Shu felt relieved when he heard this and said perfunctorily: "The Marquis has his own opinions upright. I can't make my own opinions, lest I harm the Marquis's face."
How can you lose your face by making friends with King Jing? It will only add glory to your face.
Mother Shen was upset and felt that Jiang Shu was not as obedient and obedient as before.
After thinking about it, Mother Shen decided to go back and persuade Shen Changze to talk to Jiang Shu.
A woman regards her husband as her heaven, and Jiang Shu will never disobey her husband.
After seeing Mother Shen off, Jiang Shu drank a cup of tea and prepared to take a nap when Xu Lingyi came again.
She heard that the Bamboo House was really lively today.
"I heard that Madam broke her leg, so I made a special stew of pork bone soup. Madam will definitely recover faster if she drinks it." Xu Lingyi put the soup cup on the table and took a bowl to give to Jiang Shusheng.
Jiang Shu stopped him and said, "I just drank tea. I'll drink it later."
"I'll leave it alone first, madam, remember to drink." Xu Lingyi put down the bowl and walked to the couch to talk to Jiang Shu.
"I really envy you, Madam, for being able to go out with the Marquis. As tall as I am, the furthest place I have been to is Zhaojue Temple."
Jiang Shu chuckled: "I'm about the same as you. This trip was a little further, but it wasn't very good and I even hurt my leg."
"Madam and I are different. Madam can't travel far, but she can still leave the house. But I..."
Speaking of this, Xu Lingyi felt sad. He smiled reluctantly and changed the subject: "How could such a good lady fall and get injured?"
Xu Lingyi carefully spied on Jiang Shu's expression.
Yesterday, Jiang Shu was sent back to the house by King Jing. Although Shen Changze sealed his mouth in time, many people still knew about it.
The reason is really curious.
"I accidentally fell it." Jiang Shu said lightly.
Seeing that Jiang Shu didn't want to talk much, Xu Lingyi stopped asking questions and turned to talk about something else.
While the two were talking, Doctor Fang came to change Jiang Shu's dressing.
"Ugh—" Xu Lingyi suddenly covered his heart and retched.
Jiang Shu raised his eyes and looked at her: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Lingyi said in embarrassment: "Maybe I have a bad stomach. I have been dizzy and sleepy these past few days, and occasionally feel nauseous."
Will you feel dizzy and sleepy after eating too much?
Doctor Fang glanced at Xu Lingyi suspiciously.
Jiang Shu understood and said slowly: "It just so happens that Dr. Fang is here, let her show you what's wrong."
"Then there's a female doctor named Laofang." Xu Lingyi stretched out her hand.
Doctor Fang concentrated on checking her pulse carefully, and her eyes suddenly opened wide after checking.
Seeing Dr. Fang's reaction, Xu Lingyi said in panic: "What's wrong? I don't have any incurable disease, right?"
Doctor Fang shook her head: "My aunt is not sick, she is pregnant."
Jiang Shu was slightly startled, but returned to normal after a moment.
"Are you...pregnant? Am I really pregnant?" Xu Lingyi gently stroked her flat belly, with a hint of surprise and disbelief.
Doctor Fang said: "I have confirmed the diagnosis repeatedly. If my aunt is worried, you can ask the doctor to come over."
"That's not what I meant, it's just that it was too unexpected and sudden." Xu Lingyi hurriedly explained.
She was just pregnant, and she would have a lot of trouble for Doctor Fang in the future, but she didn't dare to offend her.
Fortunately, Dr. Fang was not found guilty.
Thinking of Cheng Jin's unstable fetal life and being bedridden every day while taking medicine, Xu Lingyi said uneasily: "This is my first pregnancy and I don't understand anything. But if there is anything I need to pay attention to, please let Dr. Fang explain it clearly."
Doctor Fang followed her duty as a doctor and said, "My aunt is in good health and the fetus is stable. There is no need to worry."
After a pause, Doctor Fang added: "There is only one thing I need to pay attention to, Auntie. It is not advisable to have sex while pregnant."
When Xu Lingyi heard this, his face instantly turned red and he glanced at Jiang Shu secretly.
Jiang Shu looked normal, as if he hadn't heard their conversation.
"Thank you Doctor Fang for reminding me, I will remember it." Xu Lingyi responded shyly, her joy beyond words.
It had been less than two months since she entered the mansion, but she became pregnant so soon. God was really treating her well.
"Congratulations." Jiang Shu warned in a calm tone: "Be careful and stop working in the kitchen. Tell your servants to make whatever you want to eat."
"Yes, I have remembered it." Xu Lingyi suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and lowered her eyebrows.
She is really lucky to have such a tolerant and generous mistress like Jiang Shu.
Unlike her aunt, who was so vicious that she almost died in her mother's womb.
Jiang Shu didn't know what Xu Lingyi was thinking, so he told Chu Yu in a gentle voice: "Go to my makeup box and get the Double Happiness Golden Step Shaker to congratulate Aunt Xu."
"Yes." Chu Yu turned around and soon brought back a beautiful and valuable pure gold walking stick.
Jiang Shu indicated with his eyes that Chu Yu would give Xu Lingyi a hairpin.
"Thank you, Madam." Xu Lingyi bowed respectfully and thanked her.
Jiang Shu looked at her belly where nothing could be seen and said, "Go back and rest. I'm tired too."
"Yes, I retire." Xu Lingyi left happily.
Walking downstairs, Xu Lingyi swallowed his saliva when he saw the round, white balls on the grass.
She suddenly wanted to eat rabbit meat.
Jiang Shu watched Xu Lingyi's leaving figure from the window and remembered the pages Chu Yu gave her last night.
A few thin pieces of paper recorded Xu Lingyi's past.
