On the way back, Dongyu's chest was like boiling water, and the river and the sea were tumbling.

She never knew anything like this had ever happened in her life.

When she arrived at the Sheng Mansion, her face was even worse. Mrs. Sheng looked at it and couldn't help but ask her, "Ah Jin, what's the matter with you?" ”

Dongyu was in a bad mood when she left, and although Mrs. Sheng didn't ask, she called someone to check behind her back. Knowing that Xue Jiang went back to ask the old lady of the Marquis Zhenxian Mansion to say goodbye, Mrs. Sheng always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was abnormal, so she asked Dongyu.

The other aunts in Jingzhi Courtyard were well-behaved, only Xue Jiangwan was more abnormal, and Mrs. Sheng naturally thought that Xue Jiangwan was making trouble again, which made Dongyu embarrassed, and Dongyi's face was so wrong.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Dong Yu smiled busily, and his tone became relaxed, "It may be that the road is bumpy, and my heart is stuffy." I'll be fine after a while. ”

When Mrs. Sheng saw that she still refused to speak, she was really worried.

Could it be something big?

But she couldn't force Dongyu to say something, so she had to sigh: "You kid, your body is getting worse and worse, and you can't stand any bumps." Let's go back and rest. ”

Dong Yu smiled and said yes.

This day felt particularly long for her.

In the evening, Sheng Xiuyi came back very late. The inner courtyard was all keyed, and he just told Lai'an to tell the mother-in-law on the door, and then rested in the outer study.

Dong Ying had already instructed her mother-in-law to leave the door for Sheng Xiuyi, and when she heard Lai'an's words, she was stunned.

Mother Luo and Tangerine didn't come back, Rose wasn't around, and there was no one who was really close to Dongyu. Xun Fang, Biqiu, and Yao Tao have recently gained momentum. But there was no deep relationship between Luo's mother and the others and Dongjin, and they didn't dare to come forward to comfort Dongjin, so they didn't speak.

The Silent Courtyard was silent for a while.

Biqiu saw Dongyu sitting alone, so she asked her if she wanted to wash up.

Dong Ying looked at himself in the mirror. Her eyes are wandering, her lips are pale, and she has the twilight of a resentful woman. Immediately irritable. She instructed Xun Fang and Biqiu: "Tell the mothers-in-law to carry the corner lamp, let's go to the outer courtyard to pick up the prince!" ”

Knowing that there were people waiting on the corner gate, the prince would still rest in the outer courtyard, which showed that he didn't want to come back today.

Although they didn't know the reason, Xun Fang felt that it was extremely inappropriate for Dong Yu to go over to find the prince like this.

Several people wanted to persuade. But in the end, they are maids, not the old mothers next to the big grandmother, and it is not their turn to talk about the prince and the big ***. So I endured it one by one and went to the outer courtyard along Dongyu.

Knowing that Sheng Xiuyi was resting in the study, Sheng Lehao happened to tell his father about something academic, so he picked up a few books and ran over to ask for advice.

The father and son were talking energetically in the inner room when they heard the stunned voice of Lai'an outside: "Grandma... You ......"

Sheng Lehao looked at his father. There was a bit of inquiry in his eyes. When he saw that the corners of his father's lips were slightly upturned, with a little pleasure, Sheng Lehao withdrew his gaze again.

He got up and said with a smile: "Daddy, there is something wrong with the mother, and the child will go back first......"

Sheng Xiuyi didn't stay, and instructed: "Rest early, you still have more than two years of hard work to study, don't be too tired." ”

Sheng Lehao smiled and said yes.

He still felt bitter. A friend of the same status as him. He also got acquainted with a few. The eldest son of the same prince's family would never study as hard as he did. Under such an identity, only the concubine would think of finding a way out through scientific research.

But he was different.

Although his father repeatedly assured that the family business would be passed on to him in the future, Sheng Lehao was still not at ease.

Can a father call the shots?

Grandfather hates him so much, and he likes Brother Cheng very much......

Although everyone knows that his mother clan was executed. also knew that Sheng Xiuyi valued his son very much, so in front of him, no one dared to look down on him. As for what was going on behind his back, Sheng Lehao didn't want to know. Since he was a child, he didn't feel that he was anything more than a concubine.

In front of his grandfather, he is not as good as Sheng Leyu born to a noble concubine.

Brother Hao didn't hate Sheng Leyu, even if Sheng Leyu was so favored when he was alive. He is also not jealous of Sheng Leyu's favor. These are given to children by adults, and Sheng Leyu is as innocent as himself. If he angered Sheng Leyu, then what was the difference between him and his hated grandfather?

This is the main reason, Sheng Le Hao always felt that he was angry with Sheng Changhou, so he would never become the person he hated.

In fact, there is another reason why he is not jealous or hateful of Brother Yu: Sheng Changhou values the rules the most, no matter how good Sheng Leyu is in the future, he will never have the opportunity to inherit the ancestral business. Because he's just a concubine.

At this point, Sheng Lehao is very relieved.

Fighting with a younger brother who has no conflict of interest, Sheng Lehao will look down on himself. His father was full of talent, and he was raised until he was thirty years old. What he admires most is his father's strategy and patience, his gratitude to all things in the world, and his ability to make trade-offs. He would love to be like his father, not like his grandfather.

In the future, what he will exchange for through scientific research is not a high-ranking official, but a capital that can endure like his father.

It's just that the sky is unpredictable.

If the Xue family had given birth to a daughter, Sheng Lehao would have felt better.

Maybe he's under a lot less pressure.

Whether his grandfather wanted it or not, he was his father's only son, his son-in-law. Brother Ke Cheng was born, and his father had two sons, which made Sheng Lehao feel quite dangerous about his future.

With his mind circling, Sheng Lehao had already gotten up to say goodbye, and he was about to go out, so he passed by the Xue family.

Xue greeted him with a smile: "Brother Hao is here with Daddy?" ”

Sheng Le Hao said: "The child went to bed late, and I heard that my father had just come back, so I came to say hello to my father." ”

Dong Yu didn't ask much, and let him go with a smile.

Sheng Lehao stopped and asked, "Mother, I haven't seen Brother Cheng for a long time, how is he doing lately?" ”

Since Brother Cheng was occupied by the Marquis of Sheng Chang, Sheng Lehao has hardly seen Brother Cheng. Hearing him ask, Dong Yu smiled and said, "He has gained some weight again, and now he can speak a few words." Brother Hao will go and see him tomorrow. ”

Sheng Le Hao said: "Tomorrow, my mother and father, grandfather and grandmother will go to cry for the Queen Mother, Brother Cheng is brought by Qiao's mother, right?" The child is fine. Are you going to play with Brother Cheng? ”

Although Dongyu and they will not be at home all day tomorrow, but Luo's mother and Tangerine will be back early tomorrow morning, Dongyu is not worried about Brother Cheng.

But Sheng Lehao's kindness, she couldn't bear to brush it again.

If she refuses Brother Hao. I'm afraid that Brother Hao will think that he is guarding against him, and he is afraid that he will harm Brother Cheng. In this way, it does not only hurt the child's self-esteem. It also ruined the trust that was rarely maintained between him and his stepmother.

Dong Ying said: "Tomorrow I will ask someone to take Brother Cheng back to Zhenyuan, Brother Hao is tired of studying, so I will go to play with Brother Cheng." ”

Sheng Lehao left satisfied.

Sheng Xiuyi has been standing beside him, smiling and watching Dong Ying and Sheng Lehao talk.

He likes the way Dong Ying gets along with the children: they all go with the flow, and none of them deliberately bother.

He didn't like that. He not only wants the children to get along happily with Dongyi, but also doesn't want either of them to compromise and seek perfection.

After Sheng Lehao went out, Dong Yu's face fell.

"Tianhe. I don't like it when you act like this......" After a moment, Dong Yu said.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled bitterly. It seems that she is going to talk about the two princesses, Yelian and Hulan.

It's not that Sheng Xiuyi doesn't want to tell Dongyi, he just wants to solve the problem in the most confidential way. After all, he has been in contact with the princess of another country, and it will become a thorn in his political path in the future.

If His Majesty had trusted him, nothing would have happened.

Wait until Your Majesty doesn't trust it. This may be the most terrible evidence that his political enemies have framed him for treason. Sheng Xiuyi will prepare for the worst in everything.

Your Majesty's distrust will lead to all kinds of trumped-up charges.

He thought for a while and said to Dong Yu: "Since you came out, let's go back to the courtyard." ”

Then he got up.

Dong Yu reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Sheng Xiuyi was slightly stunned. He still remembered that Qin Yi had something to do and asked him to help, and Dong Ying also grabbed him like this, which made his heart soft.

He looked at her. I saw that there was no suspicion and anger in her eyes, but bright tears flashing. Sheng Xiuyi turned around, and she threw herself into his arms, choking like a child: "Your Majesty's business...... I know all about the four princes...... Tianhe, you have endured too much...... I don't like you like that. I should bear it with you. But stupidly kept in the dark, I can't do anything for you... And now, you ...... like that again."

Sheng Xiuyi only felt that something hit her chest, and she was bubbling with warm touch.

He reached out and put his arm around her, gently stroking her back, and comforting her: "It's okay. ”

But Dong Ying began to cry.

She didn't have no assumptions about the past in her heart.

Imagine, if a woman came over with a child in her arms and told her that Sheng Xiuyi's child at that time, and that woman had an inexplicable entanglement with Sheng Xiuyi, what would Dong Yu think? Especially in those days when there was no way to verify the relationship between father and son.

She would definitely be suspicious, and even ask Sheng Xiuyi for confirmation.

Men are even more impatient with this kind of thing.

But Sheng Xiuyi endured it all alone, and he really got a prince to block Emperor Yuanchang's mouth. Dongyu knew that when things were handled, it must be the pressure and calculations of all parties.

At that time, she was in confinement, and Sheng Xiuyi didn't even give her a suspicious cold face......

And she just listened to a few gossips from others, and she actually suspected that Sheng Xiuyi really had an outer room.

Dongyu was ashamed of herself.

In this marriage, she paid far less than Sheng Xiuyi.

Thinking about it, the tears are like beads with broken threads, rolling down, and it is difficult to stop.

Dong Yu lay in Sheng Xiuyi's arms and cried like a child.

Sheng Xiuyi laughed, hugged her gently, and said that it was okay, but her heart was sweet.

Although Dongyu sometimes doesn't ask anything, he is very light in front of the big right and wrong, which makes Sheng Xiuyi feel that his efforts are not in vain.

"Still crying?" He whispered softly in Dongyu's ear, "Aren't you going back to the inner courtyard?" If you don't go back, there will be gossip tomorrow......"

Only then did Dong Yu stop crying slightly and leave from his arms.

"Sure enough, I'm just afraid of gossip!" Sheng Xiuyi laughed, hugged her down suddenly, lifted one leg, brushed all the things on the bookcase on the ground, and pressed Dongyu on the bookcase.

Dongyu didn't have time to exclaim, and his lips were sealed by him.
