The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1275 Blocking

"How am I supposed to know where the token is?!"

"Brother Yun knocked over the box containing the token last time, and he was with Dad to put the box away!"

"Brother Yun?! Sister Yuan! People should have a conscience! How old is Brother Yun? He is your nephew! How can you associate him with this?!"

"Although Yun'er is small, you are an adult!"

"I am an adult, even if I am an adult, I cannot possibly induce my own son to ask questions!"

"You said it so nicely! Daddy has been depressed for a long time because of the mark on his token. You brought two children and said so many nice things to him. How could you not know why he is unhappy?!"

"I just know that Brother Yun was fooling around and knocked down the old man's collection, but the old man was very secretive about what the collection was, so how would I know?!"

"This is even funnier! Yun Ge'er is young, but he is not a two or three-year-old kid. Daddy didn't mention that he touched the token, but he saw it with his own eyes. How could he not tell you?!"

"Sheng Yuan! You are really insulting me! Yun'er is so young. Even if he saw the token, he would not be able to recognize the seal characters on it, nor would he recognize the red sandalwood. At most, he would think it is a dark wooden board..."

"How do you know that Daddy's token is made of wood and has seal characters written on it?"

“I…”

Realizing that something was wrong, Shu was immediately speechless.

Although she intended to quibble, seeing the coldness on Sheng Yuan's face, she was very smart for once and kept silent. "Ignorance, greed, stupidity!" Sheng Yuan looked at Shu with disgust, and tightened his grip on the knife.

"Sister Yuan, our people have sent a signal outside the palace. We should focus on the important matters right now. As for her... we will have a say later." An Yu was afraid that Sheng Yuan would stab Shu in a fit of impulse, so he hurriedly whispered in her ear, "Besides, the two children are still here!"

Sheng Yuan knew that what he said made sense, so he suppressed his anger and nodded slowly. He stared at Shu with his eyes like sharp arrows and said, "We'll see when I come back!"

After saying this, Sheng Yuan threw away his cloak and walked hurriedly out of the courtyard, reminding his followers who stayed in the mansion of various precautions as he walked.

But after taking only a few steps, he heard Shu yelling, "You, you can't leave!"

Then she and Yun Jing ran to the gate of the courtyard together, and the master and servant actually blocked the gate with their bodies.

"Yuan Jie'er! You can't go!" Shu's hair was stuck to her face. Although her voice was slightly trembling, she spoke very quickly. "Now that my uncle has entered the palace, even if you go, what else can you do except cheer him on? Are you going to ruin your own people's career?

Sister Yuan! You should see the situation clearly! The palace bells have rung! The whereabouts of the Crown Princess are unknown, and where the Queen relies on, don't you know? I, a woman in the inner house, know what those ministers in the court are thinking, are you not as good as me?

If they really invite Prince Sui'an, wouldn't the position of the queen be awkward?! Even if she becomes the queen mother, it would be inappropriate and improper! By then, I'm afraid that Sheng will become the target of the new emperor to use as an example to intimidate the ministers and nobles!

The wealth you have enjoyed since childhood was given by the Sheng family. You have come all this way without any troubles because you were protected by the Sheng family. Now, this is related to the future of your sister and the future of the two Sheng families. Are you really going to be so foolish?!"

Shu waved at the two children with tears in her eyes: "Tao'er, Yun'er, come quickly! Come and beg your aunt to ask her to consider the Sheng family, the Yongxing Marquisate, and you two brothers!"

Seeing Sheng Yuan's stern expression, Shu looked at her two frightened sons, bit her lip hard, and asked, "Sister Yuan, how do you know that the Queen doesn't want to adopt her own nephew?"
