Leng Lanzhi's inference was correct.
Shen Lan'er sneaked out to find the princess yesterday, wanting to tell the story of her adopted son's identity and the affairs of the foreign family. It was because she was so shocked that day that she couldn't calm down. Only when she had a fever would she be so nervous. Action force.
After a night of calming down, and with Zhao and her elder brother taking turns to persuade her, the heat in her heart cooled down, and she understood that this secret could not be told.
The crime of deceiving the emperor is not a trivial matter. If one person fails, the entire Hou family will be beheaded.
She couldn't just watch her parents and brother die, so she could only suppress this secret without conscience.
"Brother." Shen Lan'er looked at Shen Yizhi with complicated eyes: "The princess is a good wife. You...it's better to settle the outside matters as soon as possible and live a good life with her."
She had had enough of her husband's flirtations when she was in Jinzhou, and she hated this kind of thing.
She had always thought that in the marriage between her eldest brother and the princess, the princess was the dominant one and the eldest brother was the weak one. That's why she didn't like the princess's sister-in-law in those years.
Now she understands that her eldest brother is the kind of scumbag she hates the most, and the princess is a pitiful person.
But she couldn't do anything, so she could only persuade her eldest brother to get rid of the water in his head as soon as possible and live a good life with the princess.
"I will take care of my affairs." Shen Yizhi maintained a perfect image at all times and acted like a handsome young man.
He looked at his little sister with love on his face: "Go back to your husband's house and live a good life. Don't mess around anymore."
Shen Lan'er felt confused.
Nonsense...
In Big Brother's mind, is it nonsense for her to protect her own rights?
She couldn't help but think of the princess sister-in-law.
After the princess sister-in-law learned about her predicament, she helped her find a way to intimidate the scumbag without saying a word, so that the scumbag would give up the idea of marrying an equal wife.
But the eldest brother just told her to stop messing around...
No amount of thinking was of any use. She was forced into the Fang family's carriage by her eldest brother and sent out of Beijing overnight.
In the evening, Axiang came back, with joy hanging from the corners of her eyes and brows: "Princess, it's done!"
Leng Lanzhi smiled slightly: "Let people keep an eye on the places where Zhang Baihu often goes."
Thinking of Yu Wan'er's boldness, she paused and added: "Don't let down your guard in the Hou Mansion, but don't follow too closely. The consort is very vigilant. If you stare too closely, he will most likely find out. "
"Don't worry, princess!"
Xiaorou came in with a tray. After hearing Axiang's words, she asked strangely: "What are you worried about?"
Axiang chuckled: "Secret! Just watch it, Miss Xiaorou!"
Xiaorou glanced at the funny Axiang, and then cast a doubtful look at Leng Lanzhi.
Leng Lanzhi smiled and said: "Keep it mysterious. It will feel fresh when you return in the future."
Xiaorou pursed her lips: "Princess is partial!"
Leng Lanzhi smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, someone came to report that the prince-in-law wanted to invite the princess over.
Leng Lanzhi frowned: "What did your consort say?"
The person who came was a maid. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Go back to the princess. I don't know."
Leng Lanzhi recalled carefully for a moment, and soon remembered that his father's birthday would be in more than a month.
In her previous life, Shen Yizhi also discussed the gift with her. She stood up and said, "I know, I will be here later."
Tengyun Garden, where Shen Yizhi lives, is not far from Jinxiu Garden. It's just across a garden and around a corner.
The lights in Tengyun Garden were brightly lit, and there were not many servants, only a few rough servants.
In fact, Shen Yizhi has always been a diligent and thrifty person to the outside world. He never has more than four servants around him, and he will not take maids with him unless necessary.
It can be said that he is quite clean and tidy.
It was precisely because of his "purity" that no one doubted him after Leng Lanzhi went "crazy" in his previous life.
"I've met the princess." The servants saluted respectfully.
Leng Lanzhi waved his hand, motioning for everyone to get down.
Shen Yizhi heard the movement and came out: "Princess."
Leng Lanzhi was welcomed into the house by him: "What's the matter with my consort?"
Shen Yizhi sat down opposite her.
The two were not far apart, just one meter apart, and Leng Lanzhi could smell the faint cold fragrance on his body.
There was a stream of incense burning in the room, but the rich aroma could not cover up the fresh smell of the soap locust he used.
His hair was still stained with moisture, as if he had just finished taking a shower.
Hearing this, he smiled gently: "The Holy Lord's birthday will be in one month. Has the princess thought of what gift to give?"
Leng Lan's heart is indeed like this.
She still cares about her father's birthday.
In previous years, what she gave away were ready-made things.
Whether it's jade or jewelry, they are all things you can find with money.
This time, she didn't want to be so casual.
"I plan to personally embroider a picture of longevity and boundless longevity."
"So..." Shen Yizhi was a little surprised, but not too surprised. He said: "I got a piece of warm jade when I was at the border. I wore it on my body in winter to warm up the body. At that time, I will put the two things together. Put them together and give them to His Majesty."
Leng Lanzhi had no objection.
But there is something in mind.
I'm afraid they won't be able to put the gifts together.
The business had been discussed, Leng Lanzhi was about to stand up and leave, and Shen Yizhi also stood up.
Suddenly, he grabbed her hand: "Princess..."
Leng Lanzhi shook the man's hand away as if he was electrocuted.
Silence.
Wordless silence.
The gentle smile on Shen Yizhi's face cracked for a moment, but it was quickly repaired. He smiled helplessly and tolerantly: "Princess, I apologize for what happened six years ago."
Leng Lanzhi felt something strange about her body.
The summer was hot, but it rained today and the temperature dropped in the evening. She didn't feel hot during the walk.
But now, her face was slightly hot, and the parts of her body covered by clothes also felt a little warm.
My lower abdomen feels numb and itchy, and my consciousness is also a little unclear.
"My grandfather just passed away six years ago. I was raised by my grandfather's side. My grandfather's passing was a big blow to me. At that time, I didn't want to think about anything else. I just wanted to keep my filial piety, study hard, and lead ordinary people. Nanhou Mansion will prosper."
"Later I understood that there is no conflict between starting a family and establishing a career. I shouldn't neglect you for my own reasons. Lanzhi, let's start over, okay?"
Something's wrong!
Her body is getting weirder and weirder, and her mind is getting less and less clear.
I could only listen to the man's affectionate words in a daze.
He said: Let’s start over, okay?
He said: I will treat you well.
He said: Actually, I also fell in love with you at first sight.
She saw his face slowly coming closer.
She saw the tenderness and love in his eyes.
She saw two well-jointed hands reaching towards her...
