Shen Jin didn't wait to return to Chu Xiuming, but waited to return to Chu Xiuyuan. In just a short period of time, Chu Xiuyuan looked much thinner. Not only that, he felt evil all over his body, but after seeing Shen Jin , Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law." "I asked Nanny Zhao to make the bottom of the pot, and the kitchen also sliced beef and mutton. You can use more later, and you will lose a lot of weight." Shen Jin looked at it Chu Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Sitting in Shen Jin's arms, Dongdong looked at Chu Xiuyuan curiously, obviously he didn't know Chu Xiuyuan anymore, Chu Xiuyuan looked at Dongdong with a smile, and said, "Okay."
Shen Jin smiled and said, "The little guy doesn't know you anymore, go and hug and make out."
After saying that, she asked Mother Zhao to pick up Dongdong and send it to Chu Xiuyuan's side. Dongdong stared at Shen Jin who was still sitting beside him, but she was honestly being hugged by Chu Xiuyuan.
After all, Chu Xiuyuan hasn't hugged a child for several months, so it's inevitable that he's a bit rusty. Holding Dongdong in his arms, he took out a chain from his clothes and put it on for Dongdong.
From Shen Jin's side, there is only an amber, which is the size of Dongdong's fist. "Yeah?" Dongdong stretched out his hand to grab it, and then exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing how Dongdong likes him, Chu Xiuyuan's expression softened a lot, and even the evil spirit on his body seemed to be reduced. Shen Jin didn't say much, but asked, "What did you encounter this time?" Danger?" "It's not dangerous." Chu Xiuyuan said with a smile, "It's just defense, and there is no conflict with those barbarians."
In fact, Shen Jin also guessed that if it was really dangerous, Chu Xiuming wouldn't just leave Chu Xiuyuan behind.
Shen Jin didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, "I asked someone to send some roasted whole lambs and dozens of altars of knives to the barracks in your name."
Chu Xiuyuan supported Dongdong with both hands, so that Dongdong could stand on him safely, and stepped on him happily, "Thank you sister-in-law." He knew that this was Shen Jin doing him a favor.
It just so happened that Mother Zhao said that the pot was ready, so Shen Jin and Chu Xiuyuan went to use things together. They brought some dry food when they went out this time. They won't be hungry by then, but they won't be able to eat anything good either. .
Chu Xiuyuan would not be polite at home, Dongdong could eat some supplementary food now, but hot pot meat was not allowed, so Shen Jin asked Nanny Zhao to carry him down and feed him.
When Chu Xiuyuan ran out, the two of them went to the council hall and called Guanshi Zhao, Manager Wang and Zhao Duan over. This was the first time Zhao Duan saw Chu Xiuyuan. He knew Chu Xiuyuan's identity, so his expression was inevitable. A little excited, he kowtowed directly. Before he could kneel down, Chu Xiuyuan took a quick step to support his arm, making him unable to kneel down. He said solemnly, "Why do you have to do this, uncle, if there is no Zhao family?" With all our help, Xiuyuan would not be where he is today."
Zhao Duan's eyes were red, and he looked at Chu Xiuyuan with excitement. He didn't expect Chu Xiuyuan to call Shen Jin like this. The reason why the Zhao family was willing to help each other was because they were loyal to the emperor and because they knew that the prince would be a Ming emperor. It's a pity that this is the time to take the risk. For these, the Zhao family has done so many things, and the Zhao family has been despised by Qingliu so far.
The Zhao family has never regretted it, but when he heard Chu Xiuyuan's words, Zhao Duan also felt a little bit more emotional. They did not sacrifice in vain.
Chu Xiuming's eyes were also red, and he continued, "My father told me before he was alive that our father and son survived because more people gave their lives, reputations and futures for us. Our father and son will remember it, let alone forget it. .”
Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan, and seemed to see something different from him. It seemed that Chu Xiuyuan at this moment was no longer Chu Xiuming's younger brother who was still a little young, but seemed to have become the grandson of the prince, a beggar A lot of people who give hope, people who carry a lot of things. Zhao Duan felt that waiting for such a long time was not in vain. The Chu family taught him very well, and the magistrate was sensible and responsible, "It is a blessing from heaven to have Your Highness."
Manager Wang and Manager Zhao looked at each other, feeling equally excited. It could be said that Chu Xiuyuan was raised by them.
Chu Xiuyuan said, "Tianqi is lucky to have all of you, and it is also the blessing of our ancestors." "There will be many opportunities to meet in the future." Shen Jin has already finished drinking a bowl of tea and eating a few pastries. They were still complimenting each other, so they said, "You all sit down first, and talk to Xiu Yuan about what happened during this period, Xiu Yuan will go to the military camp at night, and you can have a good time together tomorrow." Discuss."
Chu Xiuyuan smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Sister-in-law said, sit down first, there are still many opportunities to work together in the future, let's talk slowly when the time comes."
Zhao Duan also realized his gaffe, and said, "Your Highness said so."
After Chu Xiuyuan sat down, Zhao Duan and the others sat down separately, and Chu Xiuyuan said, "Uncle just call me Xiuyuan." "It doesn't agree with reason," Zhao Duan said.
Zhao Guanshi smiled and said, "It's not appropriate to reveal His Highness's identity now, why not call His Highness a Major General just like us?"
Only then did Zhao Duan say, "That's fine."
After the appellation was settled, Manager Wang and the others told Chu Xiuyuan what happened during this period, and when it came to Xue Qiao's matter, Chu Xiuyuan, who had been listening silently, couldn't help asking, " But really?" "I don't know." Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "I'm afraid I will have to wait for my husband to come back before I can recognize it." "It should be true." Chu Xiuyuan said, "If there is no such support, Nor will the Prince of England."
In fact, everyone thought about this, and Chu Xiuyuan then asked, "What are you going to do?" "If it's true, of course we must find a way to bring him back." Shen Jin said, "Now Xue Qiao is still in prison on."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Guanshi Zhao and asked, "What did those people say?" I really don't know anything.
Chu Xiuyuan asked, "What about Xue Qiao?" "Every three days someone would ask her, but so far she hasn't asked." Mr. Wang said.
Chu Xiuyuan was silent for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think that if the child is real, will brother agree?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Jin didn't speak, but Manager Zhao and Manager Wang were silent. Would Chu Xiuming agree? They don't know, and they are afraid that it is more likely to be rejection.
Shen Jin said, "If possible, my husband would naturally want to change that child back, not just because that child is the third brother." Shen Jin didn't say anything about the rest, but everyone already understood, King Ying For a person like Shizi, no one can guarantee whether he will act according to the agreement. If he gets a taste of the sweetness after giving way, will he directly detain the child so that he can ask for more in the future
Everyone was silent, Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and said, "If that child is real, we must keep it."
For him, the Chu family has already sacrificed more. In the current situation, Chu Xiuyuan didn't want to see the Chu family sacrifice again, let alone a child.
Several people tacitly stopped talking about this matter, but talked about other things. Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "Since you are back, I will leave the affairs of the border town to you in the future."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Shen Jin with some doubts, and Shen Jin said, "If it's okay, I won't come to the conference hall. If you have anything to do, you can find Xiuyuan." "Sister-in-law." Chu Xiuyuan said, "It's still you bring it on."
Shen Jin smiled and said, "I want to take care of Dongdong, just come to me when something happens."
Because of Shen Jin's decision, Zhao Duan inevitably looked up to her a lot, and made a decisive decision without any attachment to power. No wonder he saw that Chu Xiuyuan really respected Shen Jin, his sister-in-law. "Okay, don't talk about it." Seeing that Chu Xiuyuan was still refusing, Shen Jin said, "It's settled like this."
Chu Xiuyuan saw that Shen Jin was really unwilling, so he stopped refusing and agreed. Shen Jin just felt a lot more relieved. She was so tired because of these things during this time, and she even asked Mammy Zhao to make a lot of trouble. Walnuts, almonds and the like.
When things were arranged, Shen Jin left contentedly, which made the few people who were still in the meeting hall dumbfounded, "Madam really..." They didn't say what it was, because they didn't know how to say it.
In fact, this is exactly where Shen Jin is smart. If Chu Xiuyuan has come back, she is still grasping the affairs of the border town. If you do this, you will feel uncomfortable, and it will be thankless to sit down like this, and you will have to let go sooner or later, so it's better to openly propose it. After thinking about it, if Shen Jin takes power again, those people will not be like this time I'm just as worried.
The most important point, to put it mildly, Shen Jin has no ambitions. To be precise, she has no ambitions. She doesn't like this at all. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Every decision is related to many people. I feel that Shen Jin doesn't like it very much. She prefers to be pampered by Chu Xiuming every day, to accompany her son to eat and bask in the sun, and sometimes to talk nonsense in front of Chu Xiuming, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
The weather was getting colder. Since she didn't have to go to the conference hall, Shen Jin felt relaxed all over. She started to choose leathers early, and then discussed the style of clothes with the Fuzhong embroiderer.
Not only for Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming, Dongdong and Shen Xi, but also Zhao Duan, Wang Zongguan, Zhao Guanshi and others. Because the winter in the border town is too cold, Shen Jin specially made it for Zhao Duan and the others. Thickening, Zhao Guanshi and Wang Zongguan have never married a wife, and although Zhao Duan has a wife and daughter, he did not bring them here.
In addition to theirs, Shen Jin also selected a lot of things for people to send to the homes of other generals in the border town, not only that, but also sent a lot of cloth and cotton to the private house, and made new clothes and shoes for all the sergeants in the border town .
In this case, because there are too many things to be done, Shen Jin asked people to hire a lot of people and entrusted them to do as much work as they wanted. Receive and register the wages before continuing to receive things.
Because the wages are high, the requirements are higher, but no one has any complaints. There are even a lot of female family members of the sergeant's family in the border town who came to get things to do. You have to do it well, you can't say which one is worn by a man driving a car, not to mention that the relationship between the army and the people in the border town is excellent.
After all, Xue Qiao couldn't stand it. After being imprisoned for nearly 20 days, she said everything. Xue Qiao, who was brought out at this time, was no longer as charming as before. In that cold Buddhist hall, although there was no lack of She ate and drank, but except for someone who would come to ask her every five days, no one spoke to her at all, not even any sound, not even the sound of footsteps.
And she can't see anyone at all, the daily meals are brought in through the small window, after half an hour, if she puts those things in the small window, someone will take them away, but she didn't let them go, that People don't say anything.
People live in groups, this is just loneliness, it seems that she is the only one left alive in all places, Xue Qiao knocked on the door every day in the next few days, begging the gatekeeper to say a few words to her, but there was no one. People will take care of her.
The moment Xue Qiao was brought out to see many people, her expression was distorted and her eyes were a little dull. This time, Shen Jin was present. Seeing Xue Qiao's appearance, someone brought her warm water and cakes, and then asked Said, "Are you going to tell us?" "I..." The moment Xue Qiao heard Shen Jin's voice, Xue Qiao hated and feared in her heart. At the beginning, it was this woman who she thought was weak and deceitful. She was brought into the Buddhist hall, and then she was locked up, shaking uncontrollably," I said."
Shen Jin looked at Manager Wang, Chu Xiuyuan was a little curious, he knew that his sister-in-law did not treat Xue Qiao badly.
Director Wang said, "How did you send the news back then?"
Xue Qiao now wished for someone to talk to her, whatever she wanted to say, heard Mr. Wang's words, and said, "At the beginning, I was sent to the border town by the Prince of England."
As soon as these words came out, several people frowned, "What's going on?" Manager Zhao asked in a deep voice. "It was the Prince of England who saved me at the beginning." Xue Qiao didn't hide any more, and said directly, "That was when my house was broken into by bandits, and the whole family was killed. Several people protected me. When I thought I was going to die, it was The prince of England saved me, he was so heroic and extraordinary, he bent down to help me up, I was so humble and insignificant at that time, but he... "
Shen Jin looked at Xue Qiao's rosy cheeks and eyes full of spring, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about how the Prince of England came so coincidentally?"
Xue Qiao looked at Shen Jin, and said with a serious face, "Because this is the fate between me and the son, and it was destined by God to let him save me!"
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Xue Qiao's appearance and didn't know what to say, Shen Jin looked at Zhao Mama, this person was also like this back then? Zhao Nanny shook her head slightly, and whispered in Shen Jin's ear, "It looked normal at first."
Shen Jin thought it was because these people didn't tell her about Prince Ying's son, "You misunderstood me, what I said was that Prince Ying let someone pretend to be a bandit to kill your whole family, and then rescued you." Impossible." Xue Qiao retorted without hesitation.
Shen Jin looked at Xue Qiao, shrugged and said, "Forget it, I can't tell."
Manager Wang said in a deep voice, "What did the Prince of England ask you to do?"
Xue Qiao shut his mouth and did not speak anymore, Zhao Guanshi said, "Anyway, your goal has been achieved at the beginning, so there is nothing wrong with saying it now?"
Seeming to think that what Manager Zhao said made sense, Xue Qiao said, "Your Majesty asked me to provoke the relationship between Chu Xiuyao and Chu Xiuming, and to pass on some news." "Who is the person connecting?" asked.
Xue Qiao stopped talking again, Shen Jin looked at her and said directly, "In this case, send the cousin girl back to the Buddhist hall to continue recuperating." "I said." Xue Qiao shook her body, her face turned pale, and said The names of several people came out, and these people were all cleaned up after the accident.
Shen Jin looked at Zhao Guanshi, Zhao Guanshi nodded slightly, and Chu Xiuyuan said in a cold voice, "Are you worthy of my aunt? She treats you so well, but you plan on her only remaining son like this."
Xue Qiao pursed her lips, and said with a little sadness, "I don't want to, but... I can't be sorry for the son. If there is no son, I will not be where I am today. I will be a cow and a horse in my next life to pay back."
Shen Jin looked at Xue Qiao and didn't know what to say. "Then how did you plot against the third master?" Mr. Wang said coldly.
Xue Qiao didn't hesitate at all this time, "Because Third Brother thought I would be Chu Si's wife, so he didn't have any defense against me at all. He can drink a lot, but he can't drink tea." Brother." Only then did Shen Jin figure it out, but thinking about it, her husband is very thoughtful, and he is calculating and cautious, and Chu Xiuyao, who has a rough personality and weaknesses, is naturally much easier to deal with.
Mother Zhao asked, "That child really belongs to the third master?" "Yes." Xue Qiao showed a bit of sadness on his face, "Whatever I do is not what I want, how can I use such things to deceive people?" I don't want to watch the third brother cut off the incense." "Who is the mother of the child?" Shen Jin asked without any warning.
Seeing that Xue Qiao was stunned for a moment, his face turned ugly, and he said, "Of course I was born in October."
But at that moment just now, everyone also saw something strange, Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes, Zhao Nanny understood even more, it was the first time Shen Jin was so angry, even when she was in the capital, she was treated like Princess Ru Yang , Shen Jin was not angry at all, but now, I just don’t understand, how could there be such a person, "Since you love Prince Ying so much, you even regard him as a fairy, and you would rather do so many things for him, how could it be possible?" Lost to the third brother! And the abnormal Prince of England will not let you do such a thing, because he managed to control you, how could he allow the slightest change."
When Shen Jin said this, everyone understood, especially Zhao Mama, who was even more clear at this time.
In fact, there are some things that Shen Jin didn’t say. From what the Prince of England has done during this period, it can be seen that he is very possessive, which means that no matter whether he likes Xue Qiao or not, he will not tolerate Xue Qiao’s other things. Men, and women, if they have their own children, will inevitably have some deviations in their hearts. The Prince of England does not want to do anything bad to spoil his plan because Xue Qiao loves the child, so the best way is, It made everyone think that Xue Qiao gave birth to the child for Chu Xiuyao, and even made Chu Xiuming misunderstand that it was him that Xue Qiao wanted to plot against, but because Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyao looked too similar, something went wrong.
It's just that the Crown Prince of England was scheming in every possible way, but he met someone like Shen Jin who didn't follow common sense.
In the thinking of the Prince of England, the people Xue Qiao dealt with more were the female relatives, so how to make Shen Jin misunderstand the relationship between Chu Xiuming and Xue Qiao, and then Xue Qiao used various behaviors and hints, plus having a child as a backer Even the people in the border town dare not treat her slowly.
What Xue Qiao is best at is the struggle between women in the back house, the kind of bloody and verbal confrontation, but Shen Jin just doesn't play with her, and doesn't even follow their ideas.
Say or not? Don't say it, just lock it up.
To be honest, do you want to tell me? Ken said it, so come out and say it.
It's that simple, it's like meeting an enemy, beat them up first, if you hit too many people, you will naturally behave.
Not only that, but he didn't know if it was blood relationship or something else. Shen Jin guessed exactly what King Rui and Prince Ying's son were thinking. The conditions in that letter were actually for Xue Qiao to stay in the border town.
The son of King Ying killed three birds with one stone, one of which was to restrain Chu Xiuming, the second was to divide the relationship between Emperor Cheng and Chu Xiuming, and the third was to let Xue Qiao stay in the border town.
Now I am afraid that the last point is helpless, but the first two things have made the prince of England come true. "Then afterward, you stayed with Prince Ying's side all the time?" Steward Zhao asked in a cold voice.
Xue Qiao nodded. They didn't even ask how the child's mother was doing. According to the temperament of the prince of England, he must go to the mother and keep the child. Not only that, but I'm afraid they specially calculated the time, so that the person they prepared would be with Chu Xiu. Yao had sex, and after confirming that she was pregnant, she set a trap and took her away.
Shen Jin looked at Xue Qiao and asked, "Is it worth it?"
Xue Qiao said, "As long as you can stay with Shizi, it's worth it no matter what."
Zhao Momo asked, "How many children did you give birth to Prince Ying?"
A woman who has given birth to a child is different from a woman who has not given birth. Xue Qiao can tell that she has given birth to a child. That's why they didn't suspect that the child was born by Xue Qiao.
Xue Qiao pursed her lips and did not speak. Zhao Nanny sneered and said, "But you have a son? The son of the King of England promises to make your son the crown prince after the event is completed?"
Seeing that Xue Qiao didn't speak, Shen Jin said, "He lied to you. If a person really cares about you, why would he let you take risks?"
Xue Qiao glared at Shen Jin and said, "Impossible, besides, there is only one son in the world, Lin'er." "Can't give birth because of poor health?" Shen Jin said as if inadvertently.
Xue Qiao looked at Shen Jin in surprise, and said, "Don't talk nonsense." "Oh, it seems to be true." Shen Jin took a sip of red date soup and said, "Then I was wrong just now, since there is only one Son, I won't be able to give birth to anything else in the future, if it's really done, I'm afraid your son can really be the crown prince, but how do I remember that the son of King Ying has other sons?"
