After returning to the dormitory, Shangguan said he wanted to take a nap, waved away all the servants around him, lay on the bed and looked at the top of the bed in a daze, recalling the way Sun Cheng looked at her from time to time in his mind.

It felt like being stared at by a poisonous snake that spewed out a message, which made her feel uneasy.

Two quarters of an hour later, the sleepless Shangguan summoned his nurse to ask about Lu's condition.

"The old servant is fine looking at Mrs. Lu, but he is weaker than usual."

The nanny is the dowry nanny of the Shangguan family. She took the lord's surname when she was young and is very loyal to the Shangguan family.

Seeing the worried look of the master, Shangguan's mother thought she was worried about Lu Shi's injury, so she couldn't help but comfort her: "Madam, don't worry, Lu Shi's injury looks serious, but in fact it didn't hurt the internal organs."

Shangguan nodded absent-mindedly when he heard the words.

"That's good, let someone take care of it."

Nanny Shangguan hurriedly agreed, seeing that she was still looking sad, she brought a glass of water to her, sat on the edge of the bed and said helplessly: "Madam is so kind-hearted, but she is just a concubine. To put it bluntly, she is ours." Grandpa's plaything, it's worth you caring about it like this... Besides, she deserves to be blamed..."

Mammy sighed: "In my opinion, I don't care about it."

Shangguan held the water glass, and the warm touch touched her cold fingertips, but it couldn't warm her heart.

"Mommy, I'm not worried about her, I just feel that we share the same disease..."

As she spoke, Sun Cheng's phoenix eyes appeared before her eyes again, she couldn't hold back the trembling all over, spilled most of the hot water in the cup, and poured it all on the back of her hand.

Shangguan Nanny was shocked, afraid that she would get burned, she quickly snatched the cup away, and carefully examined her hand in distress.

Shangguan, however, didn't care about the tingling pain on the back of his hand, and grabbed the nanny with panicked eyes.

"You don't know, my husband has become more and more difficult to see through recently. The way I look at me today seems to be looking at a dead person... Mammy, I'm afraid..."

Shangguan's voice trembled, but he tightly pressed the corners of his lips to prevent himself from crying.

"I'm afraid that one day I will end up like Miss Wu's!"

"Ma'am, be careful!" Shangguan Nanny was startled by what she said, and covered her mouth regardless of dignity.

After she calmed down a bit, she let go of her hand, got up and walked to the door, opened the door and looked around.

He was relieved to see no one else around.

Nanny Shangguan came to the bed again with a serious expression, squatted by the bed and looked up at Shangguan.

"Ma'am, you have to remember your identity. You are the first wife of our uncle Mingmei who is marrying three mediators and six hires. How can you lower your status to be compared with a concubine, let alone Miss Wu... She is just a lowly merchant's daughter , your father is an imperial court official!"

"But……"

"It's nothing, just listen to the old slave's persuasion..." The nanny held her arm firmly, and said in a solemn tone: "You didn't see anything that day, and you didn't know anything, then Mrs. Lu... never Asked for your help!"

"The most important thing is that you never mentioned Princess Sheng in front of her!"

"Madam, do you remember?!"

The scene that I accidentally saw in Lu's room that day, not to mention the madam who was spoiled and raised, even she was shocked.

What shocked her was not Miss Wu's identity or the tragic situation, but to discover that the eldest young master of the Sun family, who had always been gentle and gentle, had such a cruel side!
Later, I heard Lu's story about the tragic death of the Wu family's family, which was even more shocking.

But even if they knew the true face of the young master, so what?

The wife has already married into the mansion, and she has a daughter with the young master, so is it possible that she can still be separated from her?

Not to mention that the Shangguan family will never give up the in-laws of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if they get married, with the temperament and means of the young master, there is no guarantee that they will not do anything to the wife.

It would be better to pretend not to know from the beginning.

Even if the eldest young master messes around again, as long as his bottom line is not touched, he will not dare to do anything to his wife who is the daughter of the imperial court official.

"I see..." Shangguan muttered.

Seeing that she agreed, Mammy was relieved, and after a few words of coaxing, she backed out.

In Sun Cheng's study.

A black shadow fell from the window, and a middle-aged man in black knelt on one knee with a straight posture.

"How, what did the master and servant say?" Sun Cheng asked in a cold tone without raising his eyelids.

He holds a pen in his hand and is still practicing calligraphy.

"My lord, Madam Shangguan has been persuading Madam to remember her identity and forget about Miss Wu's affairs. No matter how troubled by Mrs. Lu, she should not interfere in her affairs."

"It's an interesting one."

Sun Cheng lowered his eyes to look at the desk, and nodded in satisfaction, not knowing whether he was satisfied with his handwriting or Shangguan's savvy.

"Then don't worry about them for now, just keep an eye on Lu's side."

"Yes!" The man in black took the order.

"By the way, have you caught the thief who sneaked into the mansion you mentioned a few days ago?"

At first, Sun Cheng didn't care when he heard his subordinates say that there were thieves in the mansion, and he didn't even let anyone chase him.

But when the man ran into Lu's courtyard again and again, he felt that something was wrong.

Mrs. Lu is just his concubine, and she lives in the most remote part of the mansion, and few people go there on weekdays.

That's why he locked Miss Wu's family in her place.

But in such a concubine's house, the same person visited her many times, what is the plot?
She didn't have much of value there.

Sun Cheng suspected that Miss Wu's affair had slipped through the cracks, so he asked his subordinates to see the thief again to capture him and question him.

"The subordinate is incompetent, that person's movement is extremely fast, and the subordinate failed to catch up." The man in black said ashamedly.

"Oh? Even you can't catch up?" Sun Cheng was surprised.

His subordinate's skill is also top-notch in the entire Jianan country.

If he hadn't saved his life unintentionally, such a master would not have been used by him, even if he was the young master of the prime minister's mansion.

"Yes, that's why I suspect that the man is not an ordinary thief." The man in black said.

"Moreover, someone broke into Lu's courtyard last night. The subordinates discovered that this person is not the same person as before. Although his skills are slightly inferior, he is still a master."

"My subordinate chased it all night, and only picked up this..." the man in black said as he took out a token from his pocket.

The token was black with the word "Dragon" engraved on it.

"As far as I know, this is the Royal Ink Order, and only those who come from the Royal Dark Guard are eligible to wear it,"

Hearing the man in black's explanation, Sun Cheng, who hadn't taken it seriously before, paused, and slowly turned his head to look at the ink order in his hand.

The Royal Dark Guard Battalion is exclusively for the emperor to drive.

Could it be that the emperor found out about Miss Wu's family?

wrong!

The emperor has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Sun Cheng immediately thought of Gu Nanyan.

Prince Sheng Li Yi and the emperor have a deep brotherhood, they supported each other since they were young, and their relationship is naturally extraordinary.

In order to protect this younger brother, it is not impossible for the emperor to distribute his royal secret guards to him.

It is well known that Prince Sheng loves Princess Chong.

Sun Cheng squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes that were covered by shadows.

"Looks like it's time to come to thank the princess for her kindness in person..."
