Nanny Zhang left the palace just the year before last. Because of her hard work and meritorious service, Xiao Langyan bought her a small house in the capital and allowed her to bring her family in for retirement.
When Shen Dingzhu was with Xiao Langyan in his previous life, Grandma Zhang always disapproved of it and suggested to Xiao Langyan many times to prevent him from getting involved with the guilty minister in the future.
Until the death of Aunt Zhang, Xiao Langyan did not drive away Shen Dingzhu. On the contrary, not long after Aunt Zhang passed away, her daughter Zheng Erlan had her hand broken because she offended Xiao Langyan.
Shen Dingzhu put down her needle and thread, stood up, and said proactively: "The prince has not returned to the house."
Zheng Erlan opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Granny Zhang clapped her hands and signaled to be calm. Zheng Erlan reluctantly took a breath for the time being and looked at Shen Dingzhu with an even more sinister look.
Aunt Zhang walked up to Shen Dingzhu, picked up the pillowcase she embroidered and looked at it.
"She does have a pair of meticulous and good skills. Unfortunately, she is the daughter of a criminal, and the issue of female celebrity cannot be brought to the forefront." After finishing speaking, Grandma Zhang put down her things.
She looked at Shen Dingzhu with indifference: "You can't stay in the palace, pack your things now and leave immediately."
Shen Dingzhu's pea-green clothes were slightly blown by the wind, making her pretty face without any makeup look elegant and beautiful.
She just stood there, motionless: "Is this what the prince wants? If not, forgive me for not being able to obey."
Madam Zhang's eyes became stern: "It's Concubine Xian's golden order. You are still a sinner and a lowly person. The palace cannot tolerate people of your status. Concubine Xian just ordered me to drive you away. That's enough mercy." .”
Zheng Erlan followed up with a warning: "If you don't leave, the person who comes to find you will be the eldest aunt next to Concubine Xian, and you will have a good harvest then!"
Shen Dingzhu didn't show it on his face, but he was already a little panicked in his heart.
After Xiao Langyan's biological mother passed away, the emperor adopted him to Concubine Xian, who raised and cared for him until Xiao Langyan came of age.
Aunt Zhang has rules in handling matters and does not dare to pretend to convey Concubine Xian's wishes.
If she was freed from her lowly status, she would naturally have ways to delay it, but she is still a sin slave! Let alone Concubine Xian, even if Aunt Zhang sells her to other places, Xiao Langyan will naturally not blame her for anything when she comes back.
Shen Dingzhu bit her lip, not wanting to hit a stone with an egg, and said in a low voice: "Let me go and clean up one or two."
She turned around and entered the house, and Zheng Erlan immediately followed her: "I want to see if she dares to steal anything this time."
But she was grabbed by Aunt Zhang. Zheng Erlan looked at her in confusion. Aunt Zhang said in a serious tone: "It's easy to drive people away. Don't forget, you are still waiting in the front yard and have nothing to do with the main courtyard. Don’t violate the rules, that’s how I taught you!”
After being scolded, Zheng Erlan lowered her head: "Mom, I was wrong."
After a while, Shen Dingzhu came out carrying a thin baggage, which contained only a few pieces of her own clothes.
Seeing that she didn't delay, Grandma Zhang was no longer embarrassed. She just stared at Shen Dingzhu and asked her to leave as soon as possible.
However, Shen Dingzhu didn't even step out of the courtyard when he ran into Xiao Langyan, who had just returned.
Seeing her holding the bundle, Xiao Langyan looked at Aunt Zhang behind Shen Dingzhu and understood everything.
He said calmly: "Go back to the house."
Shen Dingzhu said obediently, then quickly returned to his room and closed the door.
"She..." Zheng Erlan was about to point, but Grandma Zhang stopped her hand.
"Your Majesty." Aunt Zhang took the lead in saying hello.
Xiao Langyan stepped forward and helped the person up with both hands: "The weather is cold, why did grandma come in person? If you have anything to do, send the maid to tell me, I will ask someone to do it for you."
Aunt Zhang replied politely: "Your Majesty loves me so much, and I deserve it. I was suffering from old illnesses before, so I was negligent and allowed your Majesty to be deceived by the daughter of such a sinful minister. Now Concubine Xian has learned that she I personally ordered my slaves to drive Shen’s daughter out of the palace.”
"Your Majesty," Madam Zhang said in a deep voice, "The entire Shen family has been exiled to Mobei, and the women are working as slaves. If such people stay in the palace, they will only be a stain on you and must be removed."
Xiao Langyan nodded slightly, his eyes were dark and calm, and he even smiled slowly: "What do I think is important? That's it. Cheng Ting, go and get the body deed from my house."
Shen Dingzhu quietly opened a crack in the window and looked out with her beautiful eyes.
Cheng Ting took out a piece of paper from the main room and handed it to Grandma Zhang with both hands. Grandma Zhang only glanced at it with a look of surprise on her face.
"My lord, you helped this woman escape from slavery?"
Shen Dingzhu was stunned. She didn't even know when Xiao Langyan did this!
It turns out that she is no longer a sin slave?
Xiao Langyan's pupils were dark, his smile faded before reaching his eyes, and he said slowly and calmly: "The government knows clearly from the book that Shen Dingzhu used to be a sin slave, but now she is my wife in Prince Ning's palace. I redeemed her white body. Do you have any questions, mama?"
Zheng Erlan became anxious: "My lord, how could you do this! The Shen family committed such a serious crime, and you took in the Shen daughter, how will others see you!"
Xiao Langyan's dark pupils were instantly filled with chills, and he glanced at Zheng Erlan.
"Pa!" There was a crisp sound, and Grandma Zhang's slap had fallen hard on Zheng Erlan's face.
Madam Zhang ordered Zheng Erlan to kneel down and admit her mistake, and then said to Xiao Langyan: "Your Majesty, I didn't teach Erlan well. It's right for you to send her to the front yard as a punishment. But she has made too many mistakes in the rules now. I ask you to punish her." She was expelled from the house, such a useless girl cannot stay by your side to be an eyesore."
Zheng Erlan covered her cheek, raised her head in disbelief, and burst into tears: "Mother, I don't want to leave the palace, I want to serve the prince!"
"Shut up!" Madam Zhang shouted angrily, "Please, Your Majesty, drive her out of the palace."
Xiao Langyan narrowed his eyes and watched as the rustling autumn wind blew in from behind him, bringing silent silence and strong pressure from him.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Aunt Zhang's back.
At this moment, Xiao Langyan finally spoke with compassion: "Mommy, why are you nervous? I will not punish her cruelly for your sake. Although Zheng Erlan made a mistake, she is better because she is careful, so she will stay in the palace. Bar."
Zheng Erlan's face lit up, and she knew that the prince would not be so heartless towards her.
Madam Zhang's heart trembled: "But the prince..."
Xiao Langyan smiled leisurely and interrupted her: "Concubine, do you know how to report back?"
He was talking about Concubine Xian.
Aunt Zhang understood instantly. She lowered her head and said, "I know that the prince has deprived the Shen daughter of her humble status and she has served her so wholeheartedly. I believe that Concubine Xian will agree when she finds out."
After that, Grandma Zhang resigned, and Zheng Erlan was taken away from the yard together with her excuse.
After they left, Xiao Langyan lowered his eyes and sneered. He turned his eyes and saw Shen Dingzhu lying behind the window peeping. Seeing him looking at him, the naughty cat suddenly closed the window.
Xiao Langyan pushed the door open and closed the door behind him.
Shen Dingzhu leaned against the wooden table, his delicate eyebrows were flustered, and his red lips twitched: "This time... I didn't cause trouble first."
She could see that Xiao Langyan really had murderous intent towards Zheng Erlan for a moment just now.
This man can be cruel and scary.
