Shen Qinglan felt so embarrassed listening to Shen Mingzhu's inner thoughts that he could carve out a city from the spot.
Hearing his mother's words, he strode towards the mansion. Afraid that if they would stand at the mansion gate any longer, he simply flew into the sky and popped out of the ground as a giant son!
He turned and glanced at Bai Wanrou, noticing her face was flushed and her ear tips were so red they looked like they could bleed.
Wanrou probably can't hear her, right?!
Looking at her two outstanding older brothers, she suddenly felt worried again.
[Such a dashing and spirited young man, my second brother fought bravely on the battlefield but was betrayed and killed, his lifelong reputation ruined, and he met a tragic end, torn apart by five horses.]
[The second sister-in-law, heartbroken at the loss of her husband, sought revenge but was instead killed—a truly tragic end!]
[Third Brother suffered even more! First, he was deceived by a woman, then poisoned, then betrayed by a mother and child he rescued from the Hu people. Finally, because he refused to betray the Great Yan and be used by the Hu people, he was subjected to the excruciating punishment of being slowly sliced into three thousand pieces. When he died, he was just a skeleton. Waaah... So tragic!]
[Waaaaah... My third brother is so pitiful! My second brother is so pitiful, too! My second sister-in-law also died tragically in a suicide pact! Guagua, this world is unjust. That damned God is blind!]
Shen Qinglan and Shen Qingzhan: !!
Bai Wanrou: Waaaaah... No way!
Shen's parents: We will never let this happen!
Shen Qinghong: We brothers are all in such a terrible situation!
Shen Qingbo: Second brother, third brother, your younger brother will avenge you!
[Host, we'll take it slow. We'll definitely save them! Don't forget, you got them this life-saving treasure!]
Treasure?
Shen Qinglan: My little sister prepared a treasure for me?
My sister is so good to me!
It wasn't for nothing!
Shen Qingzhan: My sister can foresee the future? And she even prepared a treasure for us?
What exactly happened to cause this?
He stared intently at Shen Mingzhu, lost in thought.
Shen Mingzhu looked around at her family members, but why weren't they smiling anymore?
Is it because they are naturally not fond of smiling?
Weren't we just having a good time?
"Having travelled this far, let's first have a cup of tea. Have you all been to the palace?"
"Father, after we arrived in the capital, we went to the palace to pay our respects to His Majesty and report on our work. Only after we finished reporting did we return to our residence."
Shen Qinglan said seriously.
Father Shen nodded.
"That's good. Take a good rest now that you're back, and spend some quality time with your family."
He glanced at Bai Wanrou beside him and said with a smile,
"Do anything you want to do as soon as possible!"
Shen Qinglan nodded with a smile.
He brought Rou back this time to get his family's consent so he could marry her, and of course, to let his family meet Rou as well.
[Guagua, Second Brother and Third Brother have been in the manor for so long. Why haven't they asked about the fake heiress, Shen Jiaojiao?! I'm waiting to tell them that I've become the Crown Princess, she's become the Xuan Prince's concubine, and that Father and Mother are planning to kick her out of the house!]
Shen Qinglan and Shen Qingzhan: !!
Has Dad finally opened his eyes?
The cuckoo that has usurped the magpie's nest is finally leaving!
But will my grandmother agree?
They remembered that their grandmother and the second wife liked her very much, even more than the true daughter of their Marquis's family!
While in the north, their home underwent a complete transformation.
And didn't Mingzhu always like Prince Xuan?
How did Shen Jiaojiao end up marrying into the Xuan Prince's mansion as a concubine?
They remembered that the previous engagement was between Prince Xuan and their eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping's mansion, who was also Mingzhu.
Does the second prince want his sisters to marry the same man, to enjoy the blessings of having two wives like Ehuang and Nüying, and to reach the pinnacle of life?
That's a wonderful idea!
They would absolutely not let Mingzhu suffer even the slightest injustice!
Thinking of the thoughts he had just heard, he smiled calmly.
It seems they need to find an opportunity to meet this arrogant and conceited Prince Xuan.
[Host, your second and third brothers don't like her, so naturally, they won't ask about it. Besides, someone will tell them since they have returned to the manor, so don't worry about it.]
Shen Mingzhu nodded.
That's true.
The return of the two young masters of the Marquis's mansion was a major event, and Madam Shen had been preparing for it these past few days, eagerly anticipating her sons' return home.
After entering the hall and exchanging a few words, the two were about to go to Shou Kang Yuan to pay their respects to their grandmother.
"I'll go with you!"
He noticed their questions and took the opportunity to answer them while also telling them about recent events.
Upon leaving the hall, Shen Changyuan did not go directly to Shou Kang Yuan with the two of them, but instead turned around and went to his study first.
"Father, little sister?"
"Is everything she said true?"
Shen Changyuan looked at the two of them with a serious expression and nodded solemnly.
Shen Qingzhan looked at his father and calmly asked,
"Father, my little sister seems to be able to foresee the future. How is this possible? Is she still Mingzhu?"
Shen Changyuan looked at Shen Qingzhan with a slight surprise, then smiled and said,
"Of course! Your little sister had a stroke of luck after falling into the water, which can be considered a turning point for the Marquis's mansion and her family."
He then recounted the recent events at court and the thoughts he had heard from Shen Mingzhu to them.
"What, the Little Ice Age?"
"The north is already bitterly cold! When that happens, the barbarians will fight back like madmen in order to survive!"
Both of them were in a heavy mood.
"His Majesty will make appropriate arrangements! Although food supplies will be drastically reduced, Mingzhu has obtained sweet potatoes, cotton, and other divine resources that have high yields and can provide warmth..."
Despite listening to Shen's father's words, the two were not reassured.
"Father, what about Jiaojiao?"
"She is not a young lady of our Marquis's mansion. The clan elders will come in a few days and remove her from the family genealogy."
Of course, there are other people who have nothing to do with the Marquis's family, and he also needs to find a way to expel them from the family genealogy.
However, this matter is of great importance, and he needs to plan carefully to avoid any mistakes.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and smiled.
"That's good."
They've wanted to do this for a long time.
When the old lady, Madam Wang, saw her two grandsons, she smiled broadly and chatted with them happily for a long time.
"Qinglan, Qingzhan, you two must take good care of yourselves. Your grandmother only hopes that you will be safe and sound."
"Grandma, your grandson is worried about you too! You must take good care of yourself!"
Hearing her grandsons' comforting words, Madam Wang felt incredibly warm inside!
On the other side, in the hall, Mother Shen pulled Bai Wanrou along, looking at her like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, becoming more and more satisfied with her.
She had previously heard Mingzhu talk about the feelings that Doctor Bai had for Qinglan, and now that she saw it, the two were truly a match made in heaven.
Before Bai Wanrou came to the Marquis's residence, she was worried that she would be disliked. Now, seeing this, she realized that Qinglan was right. His mother was gentle, kind, beautiful, elegant, and easy to get along with.
[Guagua, look! My beautiful mother really likes my second sister-in-law! She and my second brother are such a perfect match!]
[Host, you're right! Your second brother and sister-in-law are the perfect match, a real-life perfect couple, a match made in heaven!]
Haha~~~ Guagua, you're exaggerating!
[Host, Guagua is telling the truth!]
Shen Qinghong: My second brother is getting married!
As the eldest son of a marquis, isn't he too outdated?
However, for now, he still focuses on imperial examination.
Bai Wanrou's face grew hotter and hotter as she listened to Shen Mingzhu's heartfelt words!
