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

"What are you doing here? Although I knew you were particularly good at spying on others, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant." Shen Bei snorted and began to sarcastically say.

The eldest son smiled self-deprecatingly, and then shook his head slightly: "Mrs. Shen misunderstood, I have no other intention in coming here, and I am not here to monitor you in the name of my father."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Naturally, the Shen family would not believe what he said. In their memory, the Minister of Rites used various means.

What's more, there are rumors that the eldest son had an engagement with Princess Chang'an. He is more like a love rival to the Shen family.

Enemy plus love rival, this is enemy upon enemy.

"You really have misunderstood. I am here to tell you that although my brother has been exiled to the Western Regions, his life in the Western Regions is no worse than in the capital. And his abilities and methods are also very good. This There are many people watching you along the way. I just learned about this not long ago, and realized that you might be in danger, so I rushed over non-stop." After the eldest son finished speaking, he lowered his eyes slightly, "Although I admire the princess, But I also know that the princess and the fifth son of the Shen family are in love, so naturally she will not set her sights on me."

"It's good that you know." Shen Bei snorted coldly, unwilling to believe what he said.

Yao Shu had known the eldest son of the Shen family before, and his life experience could be said to be very miserable.

He was born to a concubine, and his mother died a few days after his birth. It is said that the cause of his mother's death was very strange and did not appear to be a natural death.

But this is a matter within the government after all, and no one else can interfere.

The Minister of Rites wanted to hand over the eldest son to his wife to raise him, but was opposed by the other concubines.

After all, this is the first son of the Minister of Rites.

As the eldest son, whoever can raise him will definitely be valued by the Minister of Rites in the future.

Therefore, no matter whose hands the eldest son falls into, he will fall ill or have something unexpected happen in just a few days.

When the eldest son is not taken care of well, it will be the turn of the next concubine to take care of him.

It was precisely because of this that he suffered from all kinds of illnesses.

It is said that he was very brave and good at fighting when he was young, but because he has been sick all year round, he is now frail and unable to learn martial arts.

Fortunately, he was very capable and got an official position in the court.

His incident has made many people feel sad, and they are increasingly frightened by the disputes in the family.

Thinking of this, Yao Shu looked at the eldest son with a little more heartache in her eyes.

Judging from his appearance, he is not someone who is not easy to mess with like the young master. He can even be said to be refined and kind.

"I'm really sorry, but we have to be careful when we go out. Although we know that Mr. Li does not have any malicious intentions, we still want to ask. Why did Mr. Li help us without telling his father? ?" Yao Shu chose a difficult question to be on the safe side and see his reaction.

"Of course this is because I don't want to see what my younger brother and father do. Our Li family is quite prestigious in the capital. If we do such a thing and others know about it, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud." Mr. Li said lightly. Lower your eyes lightly.

His words still didn't have much credibility, but Yao Shu decided to let him stay to check his performance.

Her decision strongly opposed Shen Bei and others.

"How could you decide this matter so casually? If others knew about it, they would think that our Shen family and Li family have already hooked up." After Shen Bei finished speaking, he sighed softly.

"You can't say that. The matter is not serious yet. But our decision will naturally arouse the suspicion of Prince Jing and even the Prime Minister. What's more, if Young Master Li is pretending, it will naturally spread the news about the disappearance of the princess. When we get to the capital, won't we have shot ourselves in the foot?" Shen Jian'an also expressed his suspicions.

This was indeed true, and Shen Nanshan also wanted to persuade him.

But the next second, Yao Shu interrupted the two of them: "Okay, you two don't worry here. Since he can take the initiative to come to us, it means that it has been done and we will definitely keep him. preparation."

"But do we really want to keep him?" Shen Bei was still a little concerned and repeated in a low voice.

He looked out the door warily, worried that Mr. Li would eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Of course, keeping the enemy by your side can also play a role in monitoring him in a sense. What's more, he has taken the initiative to come to the door, maybe he will bring us valuable things and clues. After saying that, Yao Shu added the final word, "Okay, let's not say anything more about this matter."

Seeing that she insisted on keeping Mr. Li, the few people present did not speak much.

Yao Shu opened the door and saw Mr. Li looking over with some restraint.

"Mrs. Shen..."

Looking at his appearance, Yao Shu couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know what to call Mr. Li. Should we just keep calling you Mr. Li?"

"Just call me Ah Chen. My name is Li Chen."

Yao Shu chanted his name repeatedly, and then nodded: "In that case, you will stay in the future. I believe you will not do anything detrimental to us, and I hope you will not disappoint me."

Li Chen laughed sincerely: "Of course I won't let Mrs. Shen down. I have something important to do this time, but I can't tell you all yet. But please rest assured, Mrs. Shen and everyone, I will definitely I will not betray everyone’s trust.”

"In that case, I'm relieved. But since you've been with the boss for so long, you must be very familiar with our whereabouts, right?" Yao Shu decided to tell him about the princess's disappearance.

If you see the wrong person, you will be unlucky if you stab him in the back.

"I know about the disappearance of the princess, and I have been secretly searching for it these days. But I have always felt that the disappearance of the princess is likely to be related to Mr. Wang. If I am not wrong, the princess should be in the palace now." Li Chen said He came up with his original guess, and then thought about it again.

"Did you see the princess entering the palace?" Yao Shu asked with a shocked look on her face.

Li Chen actually knew much more than he did. It seemed that he was indeed investigating the princess's disappearance during this period.

"I haven't seen it, but I have always heard villagers talking about sacrifices these days. And according to everyone's words, it seems that the palace is preparing to donate a beautiful woman to sacrifice. If I am not wrong, this person should be ……Princess."
