After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Shen Lingyun picked up the teacup and took a sip before slowly speaking: "Well, we must bury this matter in the ground, send someone to keep an eye on her, and nip the grass in the bud when necessary." His eyes became cruel at this moment.

"Okay, sir." Butler Yan looked stern when he heard this. He slowly retreated after reporting. After all, as a butler, he still had a lot of things to do.

"Oh, Old Yan, during this time, help Madam sell everything that can be sold in the mansion. Remember, do it in secret and don't let anyone find out."

Without asking any questions, Butler Yan nodded his head and turned to leave.

Shen Lingyun sat on the chair, tapping his fingers slowly and lightly, making a slight "click-click-click" sound, one after another.

After reading the letter yesterday, he immediately sent people to block the news about Shen Qingqing's birth. After the morning court today, he was even more grateful for his actions yesterday, otherwise the consequences would be... unimaginable.

I hoped that having the housekeeper spread the news yesterday that the Shen family had a third child would divert the attention of the imperial master a little, giving me more time to think of a solution.

He sent the midwife Wang Po and her family away overnight, and left someone to monitor them day and night. If the time really came, he would let her keep the secret even if he had to kill her.

Seeing that he was frowning, Xu Nanshu walked behind him and gently pressed Shen Lingyun's forehead.

"Lingyun, go to bed early. Things will work out when the time comes."

Shen Lingyun patted Xu Nanshu, took Xu Nanshu's hand and slowly stood up.

……

The days passed like this.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Shen Lingyun's actions on that day have successfully diverted the national teacher's attention temporarily to other places.

But from that day on, people in the capital were in a state of panic every day.

It was common to see soldiers walking the streets looking for baby girls born on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and once they were found, they would be taken away.

He told others that he had a master-disciple relationship with the national master, and that he became the national master's disciple, and from then on enjoyed wealth and glory.

But Shen Lingyun knew that these baby girls had entered the Imperial Master's Mansion, and judging by the Imperial Master's appearance in the hall that day, they were basically in great danger.

Because of this, Shen Lingyun became more vigilant and accelerated the process of his family's escape.

Time flies by, and I see a leaf flying past my eyes. In a flash, spring and autumn change, yellow and green alternate, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It’s Shen Qingqing’s annual birthday party again.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, a rare sight in spring. The pear blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and the petals fell to the ground, as white and flawless as snow. The green trees formed a shady area, and the branches were full of tender green buds. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadows, which added a bit of artistic conception to the courtyard.

The Shen residence was filled with joy. The servants trimmed tree branches, arranged flower bouquets, and decorated every corner with red cloth, making the entire Shen residence look tidy and new, and full of joy. The kitchen was bustling with activity, and the aroma emitted from it made people drool.

The mansion was bustling with guests coming and going to congratulate.

Xu Nanshu changed Shen Qingqing into a red robe and put on a tiger-head hat that Xu Nanshu had made stitch by stitch. The white rabbit fur collar made Shen Qingqing look white and rosy, like a delicate white jade ball, very cute.

One could not help but feel love for her at first sight. Even Xu Nanshu, her biological mother, couldn't help but gently bite Shen Qingqing's tender face.

However, Shen Qingqing said that her mother's love made her feel a little hot. After all, the sun was very strong today, and the clothes her mother gave her were really too thick.

Xu Nanshu was holding Shen Qingqing and looking at the spring scenery outside the window when he saw two handsome young men running towards him from the corridor not far away.
