"But the elder sister of this palace has suffered a lot of grievances in this matter."

Facing Shen Xiang's surprised gaze, Jia Hou continued, "She has experienced the pain of losing her daughter just like Aiqing. Immediately afterward, what I got was not my husband's concern, but house arrest."

Shen Xiang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously avoided Empress Jia's gaze.

Jia Hou continued, "Not only that, but her husband also concealed the news of her daughter's death, changed his name, and mourned for her daughter."

Shen Xiang lowered his head, his eyes rolling, not knowing how to deal with it.

Jia Hou continued.

"What's more, her husband tried in vain to take his illegitimate daughter from outside his house into the house—to replace her daughter."

Speaking of this, Jia's expression on the back had turned cold.

"This palace dares to ask Aiqing, if Aiqing is the elder sister of this palace, can she swallow this breath?"

Shen Xiang's heart trembled again, and he quickly got up again and saluted to Jia Hou.

"Mother's grace! There is something else going on in this matter, and it is not exactly what Madame said!"

"Oh? Then Aiqing might as well tell me what the inside story is." Empress Jia made an angry look.

Shen Xiang hurriedly continued: "The order to confine Mrs. in the courtyard is to prevent Mrs. from knowing the news of Rong'er's death and not being able to stand it."

"As for Lian'er."

"Weichen didn't take her into the mansion to replace Rong'er."

"She is just the righteous daughter of the minister, and after entering the palace, she will also worship the name of her wife."

"The minister and his wife have been married for nearly twenty years, how can they do such an unrighteous thing?"

Shen Xiang's words were conclusive, if he didn't know the reasons, Empress Jia would almost believe his words.

"So, that Shen Lian is really the illegitimate daughter raised by Aiqing outside?" Jia Hou said quickly. There was undisguised anger in his tone.

The matter of Shen Xiang's outer room raising outside is already an open secret in the Jia family and her.

However, for the sake of face, everyone didn't bring the matter to the table.

Now, the fig leaf has been completely removed.

Shen Xiang was stunned.

His face sank, and then he looked up at Empress Jia.

"Yes." Then, he admitted it directly.

Jia Hou's eyes moved.

"Do you remember that Aiqing still remembered that when she asked to marry Sister Bengong that day, she promised Bengong's father and Bengong's words?" Asked.

Shen Xiang's face became more gloomy.

"Yes." Deep voice.

Such a great humiliation, how could he not remember.

Seeing this, Empress Jia was not in a hurry, but sighed and picked up the tea cup on the coffee table.

Then took a sip.

"Hongu doesn't blame you for breaking your promise."

"After all, you're a prime minister. Letting you guard a woman for decades is indeed wronging you."

Shen Xiang was stunned. The anger in my heart was quickly dispelled a lot.

Unexpectedly, Empress Jia led the words here, but did not continue to pursue them.

"What's strange about this palace is that you gave Sister this palace a dream that all women look forward to. But he shattered the dream with his own hands."

"Shen Hongyu, the damage you have done to Sister Ah is far deeper than you think."

Shen Xiang was stunned.

Thinking of his arrogant wife, a rare trace of guilt welled up in his heart.

Seeing this, Empress Jia continued: "Before you were raising an outer room outside, this palace persuaded Sister Ah to let her open one eye and close one eye." ….

"After all, there is no man who is not romantic."

"As long as you don't bring these things to the fore. As long as she is still the only mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Shen Xiang lowered his head and did not answer.

And that's exactly what he has done over the years.

Although there were other women outside, she never let those women appear in front of her wife.

It was his wife, who had disposed of his outer chamber when she first found him in the outer room.

There was a fight between them.

In the end, it was the lady who gave in, and he did not bring people to the surface, and ended the noise.

Over the years, although he and his wife have lost their former affection, they can be regarded as respectful of each other.

If Rong'er doesn't have an accident, this situation will definitely continue.

But who made Rong'er choose suicide by herself?

He also had no choice, so he chose Lian'er to replace Rong'er.

All this is not entirely for himself, but for the Shen family.

Empress Jia glanced at Shen Xiang and sighed again.

Put down the teacup.

"The reason why Aiqing and the Jia family, as well as the palace, have always been able to help each other and advance together is because Aiqing married the sister of the palace and gave birth to Rong'er."

"But now, Aiqing wants to take Shen Lian into the mansion."

Shen Xiang raised his head and just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Empress Jia.

"I also want to marry Shen Lianxu to Rong'er's previous fiancé."

Jia Hou said, looking at Shen Xiang.

"If Hongu remembers correctly. Aiqing is ready to cultivate Lord Song and support the Song family, right?"

Song Rui, she still remembers that person.

Before, she intended to recruit that person to be her Xiangyang as a colt, but the man politely refused.

In addition, Shen Xiang came to her and asked her, so she gave up her previous thoughts.

But I didn't expect that Shen Rong's girl would be so ignorant.

Not to mention giving up such an excellent man, he was also confused by a poor scholar, and he even committed suicide.

Sister, I was born without scheming. He also raised his daughter.

Now, Shen Rong is gone.

The connection between her and the Jia family and Shen Xiang can be regarded as severe. In the future, how will they maintain the trust they used to have?

Shen Xiang's face was solemn, and he also sighed in his heart.

If it weren't for Shen Rong gone, why would things be like this?

He has cooperated with the queen and the Jia family for many years, if he is not forced to do so, how can he be willing to offend them and cause trouble for himself.

He also had no choice but to arrange it like this.

"Yes." So, Shen said.

He also has to pave the way for Song Rui and plan for the future of the Song family.

These can't be hidden from the queen.

The queen glanced at Shen Xiang and smiled, but her smile was stained with coldness.

"In this way, Sister Bengong's worries are not unreasonable."

"Aiqing can take Shen Lian into the mansion today. Tomorrow, I will be able to take Shen Lian's mother into the house."

"Moreover, today is Shen Lian, Shen Yi, tomorrow it may be Shen Er, Shen San, or even more people."

Shen Xiang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Empress Jia again.

"Aiqing wants to say that it won't be like this?"

Empress Jia smiled.

"Maybe not right now."

"Lovely Qing wants to marry Shen Lian to the future head of the Shen family."

"With Song Rui's status rising, wouldn't Shen Lian have other thoughts? Wouldn't you want to fight for her birth mother's name?"

"At that time, many things will not be what Aiqing wants, and she can do it."

Shen Xiang frowned, and the words he had prepared were blocked in his mouth.

Just because he knows that what Jia Hou said has a high probability of becoming a reality.

But as long as Song Rui can replace him and support the Shen family.

At that time, what will the Jia family do with him?

But right now, he wants to pave the way for Song Rui, but it is not good to offend Empress Jia and the Jia family.

"How's that going?" After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xiang finally said.

As soon as this statement came out, it was a concession.

Cut a fuss
