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

From the moment Yao Shu stood in this hall, she knew that it would be difficult for her to leave today.

Concubine Shu brought her here today, which must have been prompted by the Minister of Rites. If the Shen family didn't take sides today, he would definitely not leave here. But if the Shen family did not side with the Minister of Rites, it also meant that she would not leave easily today.

Concubine Shu was treating her softly and hard at this moment, but she might not be so polite the next second.

Yao Shu naturally wanted to find a way to end this situation. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't know what to do.

After a moment, she slightly raised her eyes to look at Concubine Shu in front of her.

I saw a knowing smile on Concubine Shu's lips, as if she already knew her well and was bound to win.

This appearance made Yao Shu feel more and more uneasy. She was inevitably a little uneasy and began to guess that the Minister of Rites had mastered something. The only ones who can threaten him now are the Shen family.

Yao Shu's eyes paused for a moment, then looked at Concubine Shu, and she already understood what she meant.

It seems that Shen Nanshan has entered the palace.

Yao Shu thought for a moment and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, the Shen family is naturally aware of your hard work. It's just that the Shen family is currently unable to meet your expectations, and your hard work may be in vain. The Shen family still hopes that your concubine will be in vain. Be able to think twice so as not to hurt your queen’s heart.”

Yao Shu's words were also very clear. She meant to tell Concubine Shu that the Shen family would never take sides.

Concubine Shu sneered and stopped going around in circles now.

She stood up slowly and looked at Yao Shu coldly: "Nowadays, the Shen family is getting stronger and stronger, and their abilities are obvious to all. Now that things have happened, Mrs. Shen no longer has to be so modest. The power of the Minister of Rites has always been more than just yours. Seeing this, as for what the future will be like, this is also unknown. Now the political situation in the court is fluctuating. The emperor is sitting on the dragon throne, watching the people below fighting with cold eyes. This means that if there is no one in the court who can Those who have complete control over the discourse will always be as unstable as they are now."

After speaking, Concubine Shu casually admired her nails: "Mrs. Shen and the Shen family are also smart. If they can't clearly see the current situation until now, the development of the Shen family will not advance by leaps and bounds in the future."

There was no need to say the threatening words, just these few words were enough to let Yao Shu know what she meant.

She was threatening Yao Shu through the Shen family. If Yao Shu didn't obey, her family might no longer exist in the future.

Although the Shen family is inseparable from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, for the Minister of Rites, it only takes an easy task to make the Shen family disappear from the capital.

His strength is also obvious to all, which is why many aristocratic families dare not provoke him.

Seeing that the Shen family was being threatened, Concubine Shu looked at Yao Shu's slightly panicked face with a determined smile on her face.

She asked casually: "I wonder what Mrs. Shen is thinking?"

"Thank you very much for your love, the Shen family really has no way to satisfy your concubine." After Yao Shu finished speaking, she bowed deeply.

She didn't straighten up for a long time, because she knew that her words would definitely anger Concubine Shu.

But at the moment, she cannot be irresponsible to the Shen family.

The Shen family should be full of loyalists, and they should not take sides easily no matter what. Even if you have to, you can't stand with someone as evil-doing as the Minister of Rites.

After hearing this, Concubine Shu went into a rage.

She slammed the bowl in her hand to the ground, her eyes wide with anger, and her words were full of anger.

"Yao Shu! I'm warning you, don't drink wine as a penalty! What do you think you, a Shen family member, can do against me? Your eldest son, a fifth-grade official, did not participate in the examination. Youngest son? Your Shen family, at best, is close to Marquis Ning Yuan, at worst, he is just a low-class businessman. Don’t think that just because you opened a restaurant in the capital, you can be so ungrateful." After saying that, she He called the other maids angrily.

"Come here, Mrs. Shen is not feeling well. Take her to the side room to rest for a while."

After saying that, two maids immediately appeared and took Yao Shu away.

Yao Shu knew that she couldn't resist, so she could only pray silently in her heart that Shen Nanshan would rescue her as soon as possible.

But at the same time, she was very afraid in her heart.

This trip was too risky, and she was worried that Shen Nanshan would not be able to cope with such a difficult situation.

What she is most worried about is not her current situation, but whether Shen Nanshan can really cope with it.

She slowly exhaled a breath, and her mind began to be filled with random thoughts.

Sitting alone in the side room, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

At this moment, she could suddenly feel the helplessness and sadness in the harem. When I was exposed to modern TV dramas before, I only watched the harem concubines sitting by the window and looking out of the palace through the screen.

But when I was really there, I realized how sad it was to be alone.

She let out a soft breath, her brief moment of melancholy was over, and now she began to think about what to do next.

She thought of many ways, but could not completely get rid of the Minister of Rites.

She was not sure what the purpose of the Minister of Rites was this time, and she began to wonder in her mind whether Marquis Ning Yuan had something to do with the Minister of Rites, which was why he was so worried.

After much thought, she still couldn't think of a specific reason, so she gave up.

As time passed by, there was no sound at all from outside.

She pretended to walk to the side door accidentally, and was about to quietly open the door and leave when she heard a serious scolding from the maid outside.

"Mrs. Shen, without my mother's instructions, you can only move around in the side room."

This is another form of imprisonment. This is because the Shen family is currently being discussed by many people in the court, so she does not dare to torture herself.

Not knowing when she would be able to go home, she began to feel anxious.

She quietly took off her bracelet and put it into the hand of the maid through the crack in the door.

"If this thing hadn't happened to you today, you wouldn't have to work so hard right now. I'm really sorry to bother you to look at me. It's just my thoughts, and I hope you won't dislike it."

The moment the maid saw the bracelet, her eyes lit up.

She looked around in panic, worried about being discovered by others.

Finally, he and the other maid next to him looked at each other, as if they had suddenly made up their minds, and nodded slightly to Yao Shu.

"If Mrs. Shen wants to convey some information, the two of us can do it for her. However, the information can only be conveyed once. If she passes it too many times, she may be discovered." The maidservant is also a smart person and knows the purpose of Yao Shu's actions.
