As Su Qingyu expected, Shen Yue barely slept a wink that night.

As long as you close your eyes, you will see what Shen Wu was like before he died.

She was afraid that her nightmare would scare the servants of Qingyuanju again, so she simply kept her eyes open until dawn.

Later, I forced myself not to think about these things, and started to think about Li Yunzhou again. Thinking that Li Yunzhou was going to propose marriage to his third uncle, this long night seemed not so difficult.

The next morning, Shen Yue asked Qiu Tong to put on her makeup carefully, and only then went to wait for the old lady to get up if she couldn't see anything strange.

After breakfast every day, the old lady would drink a cup of bird's nest. Shen Yue went to the small kitchen in person and wanted to tell the woman in the kitchen to keep the heat gentle.

She left the main room and went to the small kitchen. A second-class maid came in and informed the old lady that Princess Rongjun was here. The old lady hurriedly ordered people to invite Princess Rongjun in, and Aunt Hua helped her change into clothes for entertaining guests.

Princess Rongjun burst into tears as soon as she entered the door, "Old madam, my miserable son has to bear the pain of losing his wife at such a young age."

The old lady frowned and thought to herself, what is this? The girl from the Shen family who co-wrote her is not pitiful, but her son is pitiful?

Seeing this, Aunt Hua twitched her lips and stepped forward to persuade her: "Princess, please stop crying. We, the old lady, gave the white-haired person to the black-haired person. We were so sad that we didn't sleep last night. If you cry again, we will The old lady is afraid that her body cannot bear it."

After hearing this, Princess Rongjun quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and sat down opposite the old lady.

"It's not my fault. As soon as I saw the old lady, I remembered the sad things again."

The old lady was suspicious. It was the time when the Rong family was organizing funerals. What was she doing here at this time?

"The princess is sad and feels sorry for her son. I understand this. Why shouldn't we be sad? My granddaughter is a poor person. I was still thinking last night that if the family could be more tolerant of her, she wouldn't be so overwhelmed that she would take this step."

Although this matter has been overturned, the old lady still has a lot of resentment towards the Rong family.

In the old lady's view, Shen Wu's suicide was because the Rong family had pressed too hard on the heir. Therefore, the tone of her speech today was much heavier than usual.

Princess Rongjun could hear the displeasure in the old lady's words, but she rarely lost her face.

He also said with an apologetic look: "What the old lady said is that the county prince also said something about me when I went back yesterday. If I had known this earlier, I would have enlightened Wu'er. I didn't expect that this child was so narrow-minded."

After thinking for a while, he said: "There is also Hua'er. This child also has a bad temper. His father and I gave him a good scolding yesterday. Although Wu'er committed suicide, he cannot escape the blame."

It's not easy to get Princess Rongjun to say anything wrong to her son. Even the old lady was a little surprised, but whether this was true or false, the old lady felt a lot more comfortable.

"Don't say that, Princess, we don't want to see such a thing."

Even if you are dissatisfied with the Rong family, you still have to say polite words. The old lady sometimes feels that these hairy family members look decent, but are actually very aggrieved.

If this happened in the countryside, the two families would probably have a big fight or even go to each other's house.

But this is not the case for people like them. They can't just tear each other apart directly. They curse each other's ancestors in their hearts, but they have to smile on the surface. If they can't swallow this breath, they can only do something dirty behind their backs.

Seeing that the old lady's expression had become more relaxed, Princess Rongjun said again: "I feel sorry for those two granddaughters right now. They are both so young and they lost their mother."

Having said this, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes twice.

The old lady was very concerned about her children. When Princess Rongjun mentioned those two children, her heart felt sour.

"When you become a mother, the most pitiable ones are the children. From now on, the princess will have to work hard. You are their grandmother, and they will not be wronged if you take care of them."

Princess Rongjun sighed, "Let me tell you, madam, don't be unhappy. Sooner or later, Huai'er will have to marry a wife. When the new Crown Princess comes in, it will be fine if she is a good one, but if..."

At this time, Shen Yue was carrying the bird's nest and walking towards the main room where the old lady lived, when she saw Li Chaoyun entering the door in front of her.

Although she was surprised why Li Chaoyun came at this time, she didn't take it to heart.

When I walked to the door carrying the bird's nest, a servant lifted the gauze curtain. As soon as she entered, she heard voices coming from inside, and her footsteps stopped subconsciously.

First came the voice of Princess Rongjun, "Old madam, what do you think of the proposal I just made? It would be great if the third lady could marry Huai'er as her stepmother. She is the biological aunt of the two children, can she still Don’t treat them well?”

"I know that I have wronged the third young lady. Don't worry, our Rong family will definitely marry the third young lady into the family."

Shen Yue's hand holding the bird's nest trembled slightly and she bit her lower lip. The Rong family bullied others so much that they even dared to ask for marriage.

Then came Li Chaoyun's voice, "Aunt Rong, what you said makes some sense. It's just that Miss San grew up next to my grandmother, so I have to let my grandmother think about it carefully."

"As for Cousin Rong, he is indeed good at everything in literary, Taoist and military strategy. But after all, we have been married before. If the Rong family wants to propose marriage, they have to show some sincerity."

Princess Rongjun smiled hurriedly and said: "That's natural. I'm doing this for the sake of the children. No matter what the conditions are, the Shen family will only raise them."

The old lady pondered for a moment and spoke, "Wu'er's body is not yet cold, so it is too early to say anything about it at this time."

"I want to consider Shen Yue's marriage carefully. I already know what the princess means. Let me think about it again."

In fact, anyone could tell that this was the old lady's excuse, but Shen Yue didn't catch it because she was uneasy.

She walked out with the bird's nest, handed the bird's nest to the servant next to the old lady, and walked quickly to the west courtyard.

When I arrived at the West Courtyard, I realized that Su Qingyu was not there. She had just gone to the Rong family with the sacrifices.

Shen Yue ran out of ideas for a while and walked to Shen Zhixiu's study.

But when they arrived at the door of the study, they realized that Shen Zhixiu was discussing something in the study and would not be able to come out for a while.

Although Shen Yue was panicked, she also knew that her third uncle was busy with business.

She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Li Yunzhou's voice, "Sister Shen Yue, why are you here?"

Shen Yue turned around and saw Li Yunzhou standing at the door of the side hall not far away.

As if she had found her backbone, she walked quickly to him.

"Brother Yunzhou..."

After just one scream, she felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Li Yunzhou was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to reach out to wipe the corners of her eyes, but he found that there were many guards around him, so he took his hand back.

"What's wrong? Come in and tell me."

The two entered the side hall, and maid Qiutong was guarding the door.

After entering the door, Shen Yue started crying, "Brother Yunzhou, the Rong family has come to propose marriage, and they want me to renew the marriage of Crown Prince Rong."

Li Yunzhou was shocked, "What? Please tell me in detail what happened."
