At this moment, the rain outside was getting heavier, and Chen Shengzhi suddenly said something for no reason.

"The rain is good this year, so there will definitely be a good harvest. Then the helpless people in the other village should also be able to have some shelter."

Shu Yan frowned.

Chen Shengzhi continued: "When the third child was sensible, he believed your words, bought a mountain, gathered some vagrants, and became self-sufficient on the mountain, as if he wanted to become a king on his own."

Chen Shengzhi continued: "Even if the third child is not my child, I have never cared about it. If such a smart child inherits my mantle, people all over the world can live a good life."

Shu Yan interrupted Chen Shengzhi impatiently.

"Don't say such nonsense, the third child is dead, no matter whose son he is."

Chen Shengzhi smiled, turned around and left the house, still not holding an umbrella.

Shu Yan suddenly remembered what happened before. In the past, Chen Shengzhi didn't like to hold an umbrella. He never took an umbrella with him when he went out. Even if he was soaked in the rain, he would never have any memory.

Cheng San, a boy, walked in carrying food in the rain, followed by Lv Zhu holding an umbrella.

Cheng San said: "Godmother, you can eat the food I just brought from the kitchen."

Shu Yan took a look at the food, which consisted of a few cabbages and gruel. Shu Yan couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is the Regent's Palace so poor?"

Cheng San smiled and said: "The regent ordered the army to be reorganized in preparation for the autumn expedition. Now the whole city is cutting back on food and clothing."

Chen Shengzhi's territory encompasses the three northwest provinces, but only half of the provinces are rich in food, so he can only save money.

After Shu Yan finished eating, he got on the carriage and rushed to the villa outside the city.

Yu'an and Xiao Yu'er got up early to study in the school. The sound of reading echoed in the sound of rain. He Xiao was working on the mountain top wearing a raincoat.

He saw the Chen family's carriage from a distance and knew that Shu Yan was coming. He put down the hoe in his hand and walked towards the entrance of the village.

The rain was quite heavy. When Shu Yan got off the carriage, his figure was a little unsteady. Lu Zhu quickly reached out to help Shu Yan.

Lu Zhu said: "Godmother, be careful."

Shu Yan glanced at Lu Zhu, who saw a bright smile on Lu Zhu's face, which was as beautiful as a spring flower.

As soon as this little girl stood here, she made this dilapidated villa look a bit more advanced.

He Xiao walked up to Shu Yan, but he didn't even glance at the green bead. Cheng San couldn't help but joked: "Brother He Xiao is really upright and dignified. You don't even glance at such a beautiful woman." look."

When Lu Zhu heard this joke, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed, and her body moved even more beautifully.

He Xiao said: "Godmother, let's talk in the house."

He Xiao didn't accept Cheng San's nonsense at all. Cheng San was naturally thick-skinned so he didn't take it seriously, and the group entered the house.

Shu Yan asked Cheng San to close the doors and windows tightly. She said to He Xiao, "I'm afraid that old boy Chen Shengzhi will send Yu An to the throne in the near future."

He Xiao frowned.

"What do you want, godmother?"

"I want you and Miss Lvzhu to go to Xiliang and wait for the opportunity to take us away from Taiyuan."

Cheng San interrupted at this time: "Are you going to let Yu Anchan pass to Chen Shengzhi?"

Shu Yan nodded.

"After the Young Emperor abdicates, no one in the world can use Yu'an's name to skin the tiger anymore, and Yu'an will be safe."

Cheng San frowned and asked in a low voice: "Does the godmother really want to take Yu'an to hide her name and give this country to Chen Shengzhi?"

Shu Yan rolled his eyes at Cheng San. Although he knew that this brat was trying to trick him, he still said, "If I really think so, why would I waste so much effort from Jiangnan to Taiyuan?"

Cheng San laughed twice.

He Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded.Cheng San moved his gaze to He Xiao's face and joked: "I have already thought about the reason for Brother He Xiao's departure. He just fell in love with the pretty girl next to my godmother and abducted her."

He Xiao looked serious, while Lu Zhu chuckled.

"It would be extremely suitable for Third Brother to write a storybook."

Cheng San put his hands on the table.

"That's a must."

Shu Yan rolled his eyes at Cheng San, and then said to He Xiao, "Let's set off tonight."

Shu Yan stayed in this villa until sunset. She didn't really want to go back to the Chen family, but the steward of the Chen family had already sent someone to pick up Shu Yan.

Shu Yan had no choice but to return to the Chen Mansion, but the manager said that Chen Shengzhi wanted to see Yu An.

Shu Yan and Yu An were sitting in the carriage. Yu An had become more and more silent recently. Shu Yan reached out and touched Yu An's head.

"Yu'an, what's wrong with you?"

Yu'an raised his head and glanced at Shu Yan, and he said softly: "Grandma, the teacher said that I will walk a very difficult road in the future, and maybe everyone around me will leave me one by one."

Shu Yan saw fear in Yu'an's eyes.

Shu Yan felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone was pushing the child, but no one ever asked the child what he thought.

Shu Yan asked softly: "Yu'an, tell grandma, what do you want to do most in your heart?"

Yu'an clenched his fists tightly and raised his head, as if he wanted to win Shu Yan's consent.

"Just tell me, grandma won't blame you."

Yu'an: "I just want to be a scholar."

Shu Yan was shocked. Yu'an had said from the beginning that he wanted to take the imperial examination and become a scholar.

Shu Yan's mood was very complicated. She reached out and touched Yu'an's head.

"Sorry, scholar, you may not be able to do it."

When the carriage arrived at the Chen Mansion, the old housekeeper greeted him outside. Shu Yan took Yu An out of the carriage. The old housekeeper said to Yu An, "Your Highness, the regent is waiting for you at the house. Please come with me."

Yu'an trembled when he heard the words "Your Highness." Shu Yan reached out and held Yu'an's hand.

Cheng San looked at the backs of the two men quietly, and the old housekeeper said to Cheng San: "Third Young Master, you can also invite me."

Cheng Sanpi nodded with a smile.

The group of people was taken to Chen Shengzhi's study.

The study room was brightly lit, and Chen Shengzhi stood in front of the sand table. The current situation was displayed on it, and piles of battle reports from the front lines were piled next to him.

Chen Shengzhi, wearing official uniform, saluted after seeing Yu An.

"My minister greets His Highness."

Yu'an shook invisibly, and he said softly: "I am not Your Highness, I am Chen Yu'an, grandfather."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Chen Shengzhi's eyes, and he waved to Yu'an.

Yu'an walked up to Chen Shengzhi very obediently, and Chen Shengzhi reached out and touched Yu'an's head.

"I know that Yu'an doesn't like to be the emperor, but I do like it, grandfather. I want everyone in the world to live a good life, and I also want you, Yu'an, to live a good life."

If Fan Shuyan hadn't spent her whole life with Chen Shengzhi, she would definitely take Chen Shengzhi's words seriously.
