Seeing that Ms. Cheng Lan was about to leave, Mrs. Ye twisted her body anxiously and kept making "ahhhhhhh" sounds in her mouth.
Officer Cheng Lan stepped forward and supported Old Mrs. Shen who was about to twist and fall off the bed.
"Mrs. Shen, be careful. Do you have anything you want me to bring to the Dowager Empress?"
Aunt Liu was startled when she heard this. She quickly stepped forward and half hugged Old Mrs. Shen back to the bed, saying, "We old ladies are so happy!"
Ms. Cheng Lan retracted her hand, stood there and smiled slightly, "Our prince has been very smart since he was a child. He can't say that he is good at both civil and military affairs, but he is capable of both. He and Ms. Shen are really a match made in heaven.
"It's no wonder that Mrs. Shen is happy. The concubine, the prince, and the princess are also very satisfied with this marriage!"
"Ah - ah -" If Old Mrs. Shen spoke slowly, she could still utter a few simple words.
Now, the more anxious she became, the more speechless she became. She could only watch Mrs. Shen San escorting Ms. Cheng Lan out of the room.
Mrs. Shen was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Grandma Liu.
Aunt Liu seemed to be adjusting Old Mrs. Shen's posture, but in fact she was actually holding her down with her hands to prevent her from making any more noises.
After seeing that Ms. Cheng Lan had left, Grandma Liu was too lazy to act any more. She let go of Old Mrs. Shen's hand, straightened up and said, "Old lady, it's been so long, why can't you figure it out?
"It's no longer the past. The second master has the final say in the family now, and it doesn't matter what you think anymore.
"If you ask me, I am already being filial.
"A room full of people are taking good care of you. How many old people out there can be so lucky?
"The eldest lady's marriage was not suddenly brought up today. The master has already acquiesced to it, but has been hiding it from you.
"Can't you just relax and recuperate? A good marriage that no one else can ask for, do you have to interfere with it to be happy?"
After Mother Liu said this, she stood up and walked out without caring that Old Mrs. Shen was panting heavily with anger.
As she walked out, she ordered the two maids in the room: "You are so good at serving the old lady. Please be more comforting. If anything happens out of anger, we will all be implicated."
"Yes, Nanny Liu."
Nowadays, the maids around Old Mrs. Shen are all newly bought, and they only obey the orders of Grandma Liu.
Although she takes good care of her every day, she doesn't care about Mrs. Shen's wishes and thoughts at all.
Their only purpose was to keep her from getting bedsores and to lie down clean.
As for Gao's displeasure, that's her own business.
So Mrs. Shen screamed angrily for a long time, but got no response at all.
Only the maid came over to help her wipe away the drool that flowed out uncontrollably, and also fed her a few sips of water to prevent her from shouting and hoarse her voice.
Mrs. Shen finally recognized the reality and closed her mouth tiredly.
In fact, she didn't understand what Nanny Liu said.
But she had been praised by the whole family for so many years and suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom. How could she be reconciled?
What's more, Shen Zhonglei has not come to see her even once after returning home for so long...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen felt quite uncomfortable.
Although Shen Zhonglei never came to see her before, she actually didn't feel too desperate.
Even if she may have done something wrong in some places, it was all done many years ago.
The second child has been filial since childhood, but now he just can't accept it for a while.
But as time goes by, when the anger in his heart subsides, he will definitely change his mind and treat himself well again.
After all, she is also the biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him. Isn't she still inferior to the first wife who has been dead for so many years?
But what Nanny Liu just said gave Old Mrs. Shen a heavy blow.
Shen Zhonglei knew all about her intentions and plans, but he still went closer and closer to Prince Rui's Mansion behind his back, and even wanted to marry her daughter off, completely tying the two families together.
superior.
Old Mrs. Shen asked herself, although she did do some wrong things back then, her intention to plan a future for Shen Zhonglei was sincere, she did not hide any selfishness, she only wanted to make him better.
But now, Nanny Liu told her that Shen Zhonglei had long planned to marry Prince Rui.
So in his eyes, wouldn't all the efforts that he had made to help Shen Tianshu choose a son-in-law, such as asking for favors and giving gifts, and trying to help Shen Tianshu choose a son-in-law, all be as ridiculous as a clown?
The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the sadder she became, and two lines of muddy old tears fell down from the corners of her eyes.
The atmosphere in the front hall at this time was completely different from that in Mrs. Shen's room.
Shen Zhonglei, Mr. Shen San and Li Zian were chatting happily in the front hall.
Originally, Mr. Shen San was still a little restrained. After all, the person sitting above him was no ordinary person. He was the prince of the prince's palace!
But after years of training, Li Zian has become much more mentally mature than his peers.
In addition, he really liked Shen Tianshu, and it was too late to show off in front of her family, let alone put on any airs.
So while he was talking to Shen Zhonglei, he did not forget to take care of Mr. Shen San, and the estrangement was quickly eliminated.
When Ms. Cheng Lan came back, the three of them were already chatting animatedly.
Female officer Cheng Lan glanced at Li Zian calmly, wondering if he had mentioned that Shen Tianshu should accompany Concubine Fengrong to fulfill her wish.
Li Zian gave her a reassuring look in return, indicating that it had been resolved.
Ms. Cheng Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became more sincere.
After all, this is the main thing we came here for today, and you can feel at ease after solving it.
However, in front of Shen Zhonglei, who should be polite, Cheng Lan still had to be polite and said: "I just went to visit Mrs. Shen, and I really didn't expect that the Shen family would suddenly encounter such a change.
"The Concubine said that if there is anything you need help with, Master Shen, please don't be polite.
"If necessary, you can also ask Mrs. Tong to come over and check on Mrs. Shen."
Shen Zhonglei said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess Dowager. My mother's condition has been examined by many doctors in the city. Now I can only rest and recuperate. There is no other way.
"Mrs. Tong's medical skills are indeed superb, but as the saying goes, it's difficult to heal a patient's heart but to heal a life.
"When Mrs. Tong came to the house before, she was offended by my brother unintentionally.
"I still feel uneasy, thinking that if I have the chance in the future, I must apologize to Mrs. Tong in person.
"My mother's condition is now stable and she is recovering slowly. After the Chinese New Year, my third brother will take my mother back to my hometown to recuperate. I really don't need to trouble Lady Tong anymore."
Female officer Cheng Lan was just being polite at first, but after hearing what Shen Zhonglei said, she naturally would not continue to persuade him.
The four of them sat together and talked for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Zian stood up and left.
After the people from Prince Rui's palace left, Mr. Shen San asked with a hint of worry: "Second brother, you really don't want to be an official in Beijing? Are you planning to stay in Huguang in the future?"
