Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Your Excellency is truly a master of foresight. He was called away by the Princess!"

Shen Lanxi looked at the door with a dim gaze. She was not a clairvoyant, but she had already figured out some people's intentions.

The second day after Shen Lanxi rested at home, everything in the court was calm.

All the memorials impeaching her were sorted out and thrown into the corner of the small cabinet.

"It is not appropriate to attack her now, otherwise His Majesty will think that we are deliberately making trouble. Shen Lanxi will also use this as an excuse to say that we deliberately delayed her preparation of food and grass!" Wu Yanzhi said to the other two regent ministers.

"What the Left Prime Minister said makes sense!"

"What the Left Prime Minister said is very true!"

The three of them continued to handle state affairs with great humor.

Song Daoxi is currently developing a longevity elixir, and the amount of medicinal materials required is extremely large and rare.

Emperor Renxiao devoted himself to the collection of rare medicinal materials and had no intention of handling state affairs.

After the birthday banquet, the envoys and officials who came to celebrate the New Year left one by one, and the responsibility of seeing them off fell again on the Prince of Zhennan.

Zhou Ruyuan was happy to take on such a task, as it was a great opportunity to get in touch with court officials and make friends with envoys. He would get drunk every time.

As time went on, the guards around him became a little careless, and one day, something went wrong.

After Zhou Ruyuan woke up, he saw himself lying together with Shen Yuantang, their clothes scattered all over the floor, the marks were obvious, what was there to not understand?

He closed his eyes in annoyance and could only accept the reality helplessly.

From then on, he seemed to have come to terms with his past and started going in and out of the palace's backyard every day. When Concubine Shu found out, she sent her son four beautiful palace maids.

……

Not long after, Shen Lanxi received the news that Liang Xinyi's daughter was pregnant. Less than two days later, Liu came to deliver the message.

"Your father's concubine's daughter is really indecent."

"Her belly can't wait any longer. Your grandmother asked us to bring the concubine's daughter over after seven days."

Shen Lanxi thought of the pigeon message she had received earlier, and replied with a smile: "Uncle, please go and tell my father!"

Liu hurried to listen.

"Just tell him that the wife of Shen Shuniang's son is not dead, but is alive and well in their home in Jiangnan, taking care of the child."

Although the daughter of the Shen family was a concubine, her family background was higher than that of the Zhang family in Jiangnan. If the father knew that his daughter was actually a concubine, I wonder how he would react?

Liu thought to herself, didn’t that woman die while giving birth?

She hurriedly went to Shen Conglian to pass on the news. She was not concerned about the concubine being deceived. Rather, if a girl became a concubine in the family, it would damage the reputation of their Shen family.

Although she has no biological daughter, she has a concubine's daughter and a niece. Her eldest daughter-in-law and second son are about to give birth. If it is a boy, it's fine. But if it is a girl, won't the concubine's daughter in the eldest house be implicated?

The reputation that the Shen family has worked so hard to build up cannot be ruined by the rotten meat from Jiangnan!

Shen Congwen didn't believe it.

"How could Fifth Sister lie about something as important as life and death?"

Shen Conglian had seen Shen Lanxi's methods, so no matter whether this was true or not, he would treat it as true.

Anyway, he was just here to pass on a message, so if anything was to go wrong, it wouldn't be for the people from the second branch.

"Brother, I don't think anyone would dare to joke about this. How about we ask around and then set a date for the wedding?"

Shen Congwen had some concerns as the wedding date had already been set and it would not be easy to change it.

"I'll go ask my mother!"

Shen Conglian didn't care about what he said. He had an appointment with his friends to drink at Wangjiang Tower today. It would be too late if he didn't go!

Ever since Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang were kicked out, they had been left to dry outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion all night, thinking that the Duke's Mansion would definitely not want to lose face.

Originally wanted to use the public opinion of the people in Beijing to suppress Shen Lanxi, but unexpectedly no one came forward to watch the fun.

Seeing that they were starving to death at the door with no one caring, he went to stay in an inn for a few days in despair. After that, he rented a house and moved in hastily.

"Mother, didn't you say that the court would definitely impeach Shen Lanxi and we would move back soon?" Zhang Heng, the eldest son of Shen Shuniang, complained.

Shen Shuniang looked unhappy. Her face no longer had the arrogance of the past, only sadness remained.

"Who would have thought that little bitch would actually turn against us."

"Maybe the ministers haven't reacted yet. In a few days, Shen Lanxi will definitely come to invite us back in person!"

"Brother, what are you afraid of? Doesn't that concubine already have your child? Even if they are anxious, they should be the ones who are anxious." Zhang Jia, the daughter of Shen Shuniang, said confidently.

Shen Shuniang felt relieved after hearing this. Indeed, a woman's reputation is the most important thing. Unless they kill the concubine's daughter, she would have to beg them to marry her back!

"Just wait a few more days. Your grandmother sent a lot of silver over yesterday. It's enough for our family to use for a while."

……

All other envoys had left, leaving only the envoy from the Moon Kingdom and two people sent by the Rebel King who had not left.

Every day they clamored to see Zhou Ruyuan, but every time Zhou Ruyuan refused to see them on the grounds that he was busy.

The envoys from the Kingdom of Yue were feeling depressed, trapped in the post station with no place to vent, so they could only find fault with the officials of the post station every day.

The people sent by the two rebel kings were treated much worse than them.

There is no good wine, no good food, and even the room we live in is not cleaned every day. It is very stuffy.

After finally spending some money, the news I got was that Zhou Ruyuan was busy today.

They were under house arrest and complained bitterly.

That day, Zhou Ruyuan finally finished his work and showed up. The envoys from the Yue Kingdom hurriedly surrounded him.

"Prince Zhennan, what do you think about the food and grass issue?"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes flashed, and he said, "The grain and grass issue has been taken over by the Protector of the Country Shen Lanxi. She has insisted that we no longer use your Yue Kingdom's grain and grass, and we will also sever diplomatic ties with your Yue Kingdom!"

The Yue Kingdom envoy's face changed drastically.

The conditions they put forward that day were originally intended to scare Da Zhou. Their Yue Kingdom was a small country to begin with, and if they lost a buyer and friendly ally like Da Zhou, their Yue Kingdom's situation would become difficult.

"Why should Shen Lanxi stop it? If the Great Zhou runs out of food and grass next year, how many people will die? Does she know?"

"Your Majesty, how can you allow her to act so recklessly!"

Zhou Ruyuan said in a deep voice: "If you want the two countries to restore diplomatic relations and trade relations, go find Shen Lanxi!"

"If you can get her to come before His Majesty and give up her plan, you can go back and explain to the Emperor of the Moon Nation!"

The envoys of the Yue Kingdom no longer care so much about the death of the third prince. In the face of national crisis, the death of one or two princes is nothing!

Since the problem can be solved by asking Shen Lanxi, they will go to Shen Lanxi!

According to the plan, Zhou Ruyuan was going to send the Yue Kingdom envoy away, but he couldn't bear to watch Shen Lanxi fall into the trap, so he could only help her in this way.

After all, he owed her something, and after this incident, he would no longer feel guilty!
