Shen Bi turned sideways, and Shen Dingzhu glanced at the door.
Xu Shou came in with a smile and a woman with her head wrapped. There was a child in the woman's arms.
Seeing the woman's appearance, the needle and thread in Shen Dingzhu's hand immediately fell to the ground.
She stood up in a daze, tears already falling before she could speak.
"Sister-in-law!" Shen Dingzhu walked over quickly and hugged her sister-in-law's shoulders tightly.
Her eldest sister-in-law was born innocent, her father was a scholar, and she and her eldest brother fell in love by fate.
The Shen family did not dislike the fact that her sister-in-law came from an ordinary family and paid her a large betrothal gift to marry her.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law were harmonious after their marriage. When Shen's house was confiscated, they had just been married for a year and were about to be two months pregnant.
"Little sister, it's really you. I was afraid I was dreaming all the way here. But seeing you in good health with my own eyes, I can die with peace of mind."
The formerly quiet and beautiful sister-in-law, Ms. Zhao, has now been aged by ten years due to the wind and frost in Mobei. Her lips are chapped and her face is dull.
Only a pair of red eyes are still the same as before. When they see Shen Dingzhu, they will shed passionate tears.
Shen Dingzhu hurriedly grabbed her hand and stroked her rough fingertips distressedly.
"Sister-in-law, please don't say such things again. Now that you have finally come back, our family will live well in the future. No one is allowed to die."
Xu Shou said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, Auntie will have a good chat with Mrs. Shen for a while."
"However, Mrs. Shen's family is still waiting in the outer courtyard to take her home. My aunt remembers that it will take an hour at most, otherwise others will spread some unpleasant words."
Shen Dingzhu quickly wiped away her tears: "Thank you, father-in-law, I understand."
After Xu Shou left, Shen Bi closed the door, and Shen Dingzhu hugged his sister-in-law and cried for a while.
The child in her arms suddenly cried loudly, and Ms. Zhao raised the child to Shen Dingzhu.
"Shan'er don't cry, look, this is your little aunt."
Shen Dingzhu carefully took the pink child into his arms, hugged him gently, and looked at his eyebrows and small face that were similar to his elder brother.
Hot tears couldn't help falling.
"Sister-in-law, has the child's name been decided?"
"It's settled, my name is Shen Qingshan, it's my father who named me." Ms. Zhao smiled softly, with a hint of bitterness.
Green mountains are fortunate enough to bury loyal bones, and innocent white iron casts sycophants.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were filled with tears. She thought that if the father named his child this name, he probably didn't expect to return to the capital alive.
She quickly wiped away her tears. She didn't have much time and couldn't spend all of it grieving.
"Sister-in-law, are parents okay? How is the eldest brother's leg? And the second brother, how is he?"
Mrs. Zhao took the child back and swayed it gently in her arms.
"Don't worry, the guard Ling Feng sent by the prince is a capable man. He persuaded the supervisor to find the doctor. When I come back, your eldest brother's legs can already move."
"My father and mother are getting better gradually. It's just that my mother is weak. As you know, she has colds and coughs day and night. She is the most seriously ill in the family."
"But you don't need to worry, she takes the doctor's medicine every day."
Shen Dingzhu lowered his eyelashes sadly: "It's bitterly cold in Mobei, and my mother's body can't bear the cold. I will find a way, and our family will be reunited in the capital sooner or later."
Zhao pursed her lips, knowing that Shen Dingzhu's life was not easy, so she didn't agree with her idea for a while.
Zhao looked around and sighed: "Our family has been charged with such a serious crime, and the prince is willing to help you, which shows that he cares about you."
"But before I come here, my mother told me to bring you a message," Mrs. Zhao lowered her voice, "When you are unknown and have no status, you must not give birth to an heir before the princess enters the house."
Shen Dingzhu was startled, licked his lips with his pink tongue, half lowered his head, and his earlobes felt hot.
Mrs. Zhao thought she wouldn't listen and wanted to win favor and find a way out for the family.
Then he freed up a hand to hold her tightly: "Little sister! This matter is no small matter. If you are pregnant before the princess comes in, according to the laws of our dynasty, the princess is qualified to leave the mother and keep the child."
"Father, mother, and we all don't want you to risk your whole life for the Shen family."
Shen Dingzhu sniffed and raised his pretty face again, stunningly beautiful.
Ms. Zhao was slightly startled.
The legitimate daughter of the Shen family was once the most famous beauty in the capital.
Even though the Shen family was in trouble, she was still not overwhelmed by setbacks and was still dazzlingly beautiful.
Shen Dingzhu smiled slightly, full of youth: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't be pregnant."
She took out a package from the cabinet, unfolded it for Zhao, and explained: "This is Juezi Pill. I will take it when I need it in the future."
Zhao was startled: "Juezi? No, no, no, it's too harmful to the body!"
Shen Dingzhu put the pills back into the cabinet with a calm expression on his face: "The prince likes people around him to be obedient. He has no shortage of people who can give birth to children for him. What he wants is for me to be well-behaved, so he has no children." ,more convenient."
When Zhao heard this, she cried heartbrokenly.
However, Shen Dingzhu was already content. In her previous life, she never got to see her relatives for the last time.
This time, he was able to make plans and bring his sister-in-law and nephew back first. This was a good sign.
Xu Shou sent someone to remind him that the time was approaching.
Shen Dingzhu hurriedly asked Shen Bi to bring a small bundle. After opening it, there were three silver notes, some broken silver coils, and a small longevity lock.
"Little sister, what are you doing? I can't ask for your money. It's not easy for you in the palace."
Shen Dingzhu tried his best to get Zhao to accept it.
She spoke sincerely: "Sister-in-law, the only thing that keeps me alive is you. Not to mention the money, if I can bring my parents back, I will give it in exchange for my life."
"So, you must keep this money. We have dealt with the people on your mother's side. They should not be evil people, but I know that their conditions are not good."
"You are alone and have a child with you. You need money everywhere, so you take this longevity lock. I also had someone make it and give it to Shan'er as a meeting gift."
Shen Dingzhu hung the longevity lock on the child's neck with his own hands.
Her fingertips very lightly scraped the sleeping little guy's face.
"Your Majesty said before that you will be allowed to meet me during the holidays in the future. When my parents come back, our family will be reunited in the capital. So before that, we all have to live a good life."
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Zhao nodded heavily: "I know, little sister, then take care and take care of yourself."
The two hugged each other, feeling very sad. Shen Dingzhu reluctantly kissed the baby's face.
"Shan'er, when you learn to speak in the future, the first name you will call must be aunt." Shen Dingzhu originally cried, but couldn't help laughing.
She is happiest when she can secure a stable living environment for her eldest brother's children.
Suddenly, Shen Bi beside him said, "See you, Your Majesty."
Shen Dingzhu looked up with tears in his eyes and saw Xiao Langyan's tall figure standing at the door.
Mrs. Zhao also started to panic. She hurriedly hugged the child and knelt on the ground.
"The guilty people kowtow to the prince."
Shen Dingzhu frowned when she saw her elder sister-in-law kneeling down while holding the child, and her haggard figure made her look distressed in her eyes.
But this was etiquette, and she didn't dare to stop it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Langyan stepped forward, held the child's swaddling clothes, and lifted him up.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Dingzhu's eyes.
Even Zhao was frightened.
Xiao Langyan said calmly: "Aunt Shen is loyal and sincere to me. I will not treat her family harshly. The child is still young. This is my gift for meeting her."
As he spoke, he took out a round jade pendant from his sleeve and placed it in the swaddling clothes.
