The Regent's Tender Darling

"Yes, slave girl, go right away." Xuemei said and hurriedly left.

She stopped again: "Come back, why are you in a hurry? You can go out and help me with something later."

After saying that, he went to take out the picture of embroidered shoes that he had drawn earlier, then handed it to Xuemei and said, "Go outside and ask where this shoe style comes from."

Anyway, it doesn’t look like a common style in the capital.

Xuemei took it and looked at it, nodded, and said very seriously: "Okay, I will inform the housekeeper and ask."

…

at the same time.

―――Lin Mansion, Minister of Rites.

Guitangzhai.

Mr. Shen was grounded and was sitting in the room blankly, with a sad look on his face that he couldn't hide at all costs. He now looked several years older than before.

At this moment, Mother Chen opened the curtains in the room and walked in with an excited look on her face: "Madam, the eldest girl is here."

Then, Lin Qinghua was helped in. Mother and daughter were extremely excited to see each other.

Mrs. Shen quickly stood up and went over to meet him, grabbing Lin Qinghua's hand with tears in her eyes: "My son."

As he said this, he couldn't help hugging Lin Qinghua and started crying.

Lin Qinghua's nose felt sour, and she quickly comforted her: "My mother has suffered so much that my daughter only came back. She is unfilial."

At this time, Mrs. Shen quickly wiped her tears and cried to her daughter: "It's okay for you, mother. I'm sorry for your brother, who was sent to Shoukang Hall by your cruel father. The old lady is old. How to take good care of Cheng'er?"

Lin Qinghua wiped her tears and said, "Mother, let's sit down and talk."

After sitting down, Lin Qinghua didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Mom, I heard from Mother Chen that you were punished by your father because you gave your cousin a Jinshi status?"

She also had some doubts. She felt that it was impossible for her mother to do such a thing.

This matter is not a trivial matter, it may be a serious crime requiring beheading.

Shen turned his head away, closed his eyes and nodded.

This is admission.

Lin Qinghua was speechless for a moment, and shook her head angrily, "Mother! You are confused."

"He is your uncle's biological son and your uncle's only son. He has been pampered since he was a child. If I don't help him, his life will be over." Shen said.

In this quibbling tone, it seemed that he did not realize that he was wrong, but instead had a lot of resentment.

Then he continued: "You don't know that your aunt is not in good health. Ye Ting is the legitimate son of the Shen family. If so, if there is no future, will the Shen family be handed over to those lowly bastards in the future?"

These words left Lin Qinghua speechless for a moment. There were state laws and family rules. She didn't know what was wrong with her mother now. She was getting more and more confused as she got older.

Moreover, her cousin is a dandy who only knows how to live and drink. How can a person with no knowledge or skill enter the Imperial Academy?

After sighing, she said seriously: "Mom, my grandfather is just a seventh-grade county magistrate. If you arrange an errand for your cousin in a small county, no one will know if you want to come to Beijing. Why do you have to be in the imperial examination?" Arranged by Zi Zhong? Mother, do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor and will result in beheading?"

"What?" Shen was stunned for a moment, and then her face became frightened, and she quickly went to hold Lin Qinghua's hand.

She cried and begged: "Hua'er, you are a princess now. You have to save your family. Your brother is still young. If he ends up being the son of a guilty minister, his future will be ruined."
