Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

After a busy morning, Yao Shu looked at the delicious food in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.

After she dressed herself up, she took the food and prepared to go to Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

"Old woman, where are you going? I'll go with you. The situation is very different now. I'm really worried about you going out alone." Nanshan couldn't help but refuse and took the wooden lunch box in her hand.

"Today I am going to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It is really inconvenient for you to go with me." Yao Shu took it directly and said softly, "The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is now heavily guarded, and so many pairs of eyes are watching. Wait. You have just been cleared of suspicion. If you go directly now, I am afraid you will get burned. I am a woman, and they will definitely not be wary of me. In this way, I can move more freely. .”

Shen Nanshan watched her leave with suspicion.

Yao Shu came to Ningyuan Hou Mansion and was stopped by two soldiers as expected.

"This is the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Is there anything that needs to be reported in advance? Who are you?"

"I am Yaoshu of the Shen family, and my husband is Shen Nanshan, who is the biological brother of Marquis Ningyuan. I came here today just because I wanted to come to the capital for such a long time and have not paid a proper visit. The Shen family opened a restaurant in Zhangzhou City , the food is very delicious. I specially made some in the hope that Marquis Ningyuan can taste it, which can be regarded as a filial piety."

In ancient times, there was a saying that the eldest brother is the father. There is no fault in Yao Shu's remarks. The two soldiers looked at each other, nodded immediately, and let her pass.

This is Yao Shu's first time coming to the mansion. Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is far more grand than General Ling's General's Mansion. The servants inside are also in a hurry, each dealing with their own affairs. There is no sign of laziness or laziness at all. .

As soon as she entered, Yao Shu could really feel the orderly, solemn and repressive appearance of the legendary Hou Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, a servant led her to meet Mrs. Ningyuan Hou.

Although Mrs. Ningyuan Hou is not as free and easy as the general's wife, she can be regarded as a gentle and elegant lady. Compared with it, Yao Shu inevitably pales in comparison.

However, she didn't have any concerns or inferiority complex. Instead, she saluted Mrs. Ning Yuanhou gracefully.

"Sister-in-law."

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to hold her arm affectionately.

"I have long heard that Marquis Ning Yuan has found his biological brother. It's just that for so long, I haven't had the chance to meet you. I didn't expect you to come on your own today. Forgive me for not being prepared in advance and for treating you badly. Next I will treat you well this time to make up for this time." The guilt on Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's face was not fake.

Yao Shu confirmed that she was kind-hearted and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you meet someone who is unreasonable, it may be more difficult to get along with you in the future. Thinking of this, the smile on Yao Shu's face became even brighter.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not here today just for these empty etiquettes. On the contrary, I didn't inform you in advance, which seems a bit rude."

The two of them exchanged a few polite words and then got down to business.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou is not a simple person. She naturally understands what Yao Shu is here to do.

"Don't worry, there is no one else in the house. If you have anything, you can feel free to tell me directly."

Yao Shu nodded, and her expression gradually became serious: "I heard that General Ling was summoned by the emperor to meet the emperor yesterday, but it was because of suspicion."

"It was today that Marquis Ningyuan was summoned, not long before you came here. But there is something that really needs attention. Since the Holy One still doubts us, he will naturally not ignore the Shen family. Although you are still You have not recognized your ancestors, but you can't escape the blood relationship after all. You must be more careful, and it is best not to do anything in the capital during this period, so as not to arouse the Holy Emperor's suspicion." Mrs. Ningyuan Hou warned carefully and said a lot more Things to note.

Yao Shu's expression was full of thoughts. She originally wanted to ask Mrs. Ningyuanhou about the current affairs in the court, but she was afraid of being suspected by Mrs. Ningyuanhou.

"There's something I don't know whether to talk about or not." Yao Shu was still a little hesitant in her heart, but when she said this, it meant that she had decided to say it.

"But it doesn't matter, we are a family."

Yao Shu believes that Ning Yuanhou is a good person. Although family ties should not be tested in the face of power, after spending this time together, she believes that Ning Yuanhou is a trustworthy person. Just because he repeatedly wanted to get Shen Nanshan to leave the remote Zhangzhou City and live a better life, he was trustworthy.

"A few days ago, Concubine Shu summoned me to the palace. They were discussing the matter of Marquis Ningyuan. Naturally, I didn't dare to say anything, so I didn't say much." After saying that, Yao Shu looked at Mrs. Marquis Ningyuan. .

Not only waiting for her answer, but also for Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's explanation.

Mrs. Ningyuanhou sighed softly and said eloquently: "I have told him not to take sides too early, and now he has been involved in the turmoil. The Minister of Rites and the Prime Minister are not at odds, and Ningyuanhou supports the Prime Minister's decision. That’s what led to being targeted.”

I won’t say anything more, but Yao Shu already understands.

The Shen family cannot get involved in this turmoil. Although it is not known why such a situation has occurred, once it is involved, it will be like a boat being washed away by the waves, and it will definitely be broken into pieces.

Yao Shu clenched her fists nervously and began to think about how to solve the current situation.

If you take just one step, you will be in danger.

Seeing that Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was unwilling to reveal too much, Yao Shu stopped talking.

"In that case, I know what I'm doing. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you and will leave first." Yao Shu nodded.

After saying that, just as he was about to leave, Marquis Ning Yuan suddenly returned home.

Seeing that Yao Shu was here, he subconsciously looked behind her not far away, as if looking for Shen Nanshan's figure.

"See Marquis Ningyuan, I have something to do at home today, so it is not convenient for Nanshan to come. If there is still time in the future, the two of us will definitely come to visit together."

Marquis Ningyuan sighed: "That's good, I feel relieved that Brother Nanshan has your care. I have been offended a lot in the past few days. It's because I don't understand people well that I even thought of asking Nanshan to divorce you."

Marquis Ningyuan also realized that the person in front of him was not an ordinary woman, so he felt apologetic.

"You can't say that. Now that we are in the capital, we will definitely need a lot of help from Marquis Ningyuan in the future. If there is any need, just ask, and we will be there without hesitation."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yao Shu left Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

On the way back, the sky was a bit gloomy, which gave Yao Shu a bad feeling.
