The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

Shen Lansui slowly put away the golden needle. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the prince had been looking here, and smiled secretly in his heart.

She said to the Crown Princess: "Your Majesty, you can find an imperial doctor to take a look now so that you can verify the truth of what I said."

The Crown Princess declined: "Old Seventh said that you have good medical skills. You must have had some experience. I believe in the miracle doctor and I also believe in the Seventh Brother."

A pleased smile appeared on the seventh prince's face, and the prince pursed his lips.

"I think it's better not to be careless when it comes to the emperor's heir. Someone, come and tell the imperial doctor——"

The Crown Princess' expression changed slightly and she looked at the Crown Prince with disapproval, "Your Highness."

The prince didn't take it seriously, "It's for the good of the children that I am alone."

The Crown Princess had nothing to say, so she turned to Shen Lansui and smiled apologetically, "Mrs. Lu, sit down first, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Lansui didn't care at all. It was because of the prince's petty mind that he would be haunted if he just believed her words.

Soon the imperial physician came to check the Crown Princess's pulse. After a while, he was pleasantly surprised and said that the Crown Princess's fetus had stabilized and she looked very healthy now.

The Crown Princess was overjoyed. After sending the person away, she glanced at the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, are you relieved this time? Why don't you thank Mrs. Lu?"

The seventh prince also said: "Brother, you really have to thank me."

In the end, the prince stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for helping me. I will remember your kindness."

Shen Lansui turned sideways and said meaningfully: "I just helped a little, it's nothing important, but I do have something to ask for."

The prince thought he was going to talk about Shen Hanfang, and his face darkened.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lansui said: "I haven't seen the fourth sister for a long time. I wonder if I can talk to her alone about some family matters?"

The prince was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Shen Lansui. After a while, he waved his hands and said, "Go, Shen Cairen, and entertain Mrs. Lu well."

He gave Shen Hanfang a look that implied warning.

Shen Hanfang was heartbroken, but she couldn't let it happen. She just said with a smile: "Sister, come with me."

Shen Lansui followed Shen Hanfang to her room. As soon as she entered, Dou Kao said: "Madam, talk to the talented person. I will go and guard the door."

After saying that, she closed the door.

There were no outsiders around. Shen Hanfang held Shen Lansui's hand and burst into tears, "Fifth sister, I didn't expect you to actually come to see me. I'm really... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have treated you like that at the beginning. You can scold me..."

She couldn't stand crying, and soon she started crying and hiccupping.

Seeing this, Shen Lansui said helplessly: "Stop crying, your eyes are like walnuts when you cry. People who don't know may think I did something to you."

"I'm sorry, I can't control it. These days in the East Palace, I know what it means to be flattered and suppressed, and what it means to be in control. If I hadn't been obsessed with something, I...I wouldn't have ended up like this."

She couldn't sleep these two nights. She often thought of the arrogance she had said when she was in the uncle's house. How arrogant she was at that time, how good her dreams were, but how painful her face is now.

She naively thought that she had climbed onto a high branch and was about to become famous, but little did she know that she had completely ruined her good years.

There is no question whether the prince can ascend the throne in the future, but now she is only worried that she will not live until that time.

The more she thought about it, the harder she cried.

Shen Lansui couldn't help it, so he let her go and waited until she had cried enough. Although there were a lot of disagreements between her and Shen Hanfang, when she really saw her collapse in front of him, Shen Lansui felt not only sympathy but also sadness.

The five daughters of the Shen family are all married, or married far away from home, rarely seeing their families once a year, or married to an unattractive husband, not only wiping his butt in every possible way, but also suffering from the anger of her husband's family.

As for Shen Hanfang, she thought that by marrying the prince, she would be the empress in the future, but it was still unclear whether the prince would be able to make it to the end, but she had already lost his heart.

In other words, the prince was only interested in her beauty and value from the beginning. Now that it was useless and he was tired of her beauty, he just threw her into the backyard. If she didn't die, who could say anything to him?

Shen Sanqing would not offend the prince because of a concubine.

If Shen Lansui did not marry Lu Xingyue, but instead married some unknown low-level official, or became a concubine for a high-ranking official, who could Shen Hanfang find to support her?

Today's situation and results are very different. Most of them will be grounded until death.

Shen Lansui's heart felt like a ball of cotton soaked in vinegar, sour and suffocating.

At this moment, she realized very clearly how important family and siblings were in this era.

Shen Hanfang was tired of crying and thanked Shen Lansui again, "Fifth sister, thank you for being willing to stand up for me."

"I'm not doing it for you." Shen Lansui sighed, "I don't intend to forgive you for the bad things you did, but in the face of interests, I don't care about them."

Shen Hanfang sniffed and looked at her in confusion, "What value do I have to you? It would be nice if I don't hold you back."

"When the prince hits you, it's not a slap in our faces. If I don't pay attention, will the prince become more violent in the future? Will others think that we are afraid of the prince?"

Shen Lansui stood up and said solemnly: "I'm not just here for you, but also for myself, and to show it to the world."

"What are you looking at?" Shen Hanfang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"If I act like a coward today, will the other sisters' in-laws despise them because of this? Will they compete with each other unscrupulously?"

"Anyway, if you are bullied, you will be bullied, and no one will step forward. They have no scruples. How can the sisters live a good life?"

Shen Hanfang was startled, she didn't even expect this.

"So I have to come today. I want them to know that I, the girl of the Shen family, is not helpless. He, Shen Sanqing, is incompetent. I, Shen Lansui, will not swallow my anger. Don't you understand the principle of both prosperity and loss? ?”

Shen Hanfang looked at her blankly, and after a while she shed two more tears, "I understand, I really understand this time."

"Before you act in the future, think about your sisters at home. If you are in trouble, we will help you. But don't think about using our name to do anything wrong, otherwise I will be the first to kill you out of justice."

Shen Lan hit Shen Hanfang with a hammer and then left.

Shen Hanfang watched her back, then turned to Daukou and said, "Doujiao, only today do I know what it means to be unable to support a tree alone."

Daukou shook his head, "Talented people are not alone. Just be more vigilant in the future. In this palace, the most unreliable thing is a man's favor."

"I understand." Shen Hanfang wiped away her tears, slowly moved her gaze upward, swept across the tightly packed eaves, and closed her eyes again.

When Shen Lan left the East Palace, the prince threw things in the study.

The Seventh Prince had already left. Rong Zhao stayed and talked to the Crown Princess for a while. Uneasy, he went to look for the Crown Prince again. When he entered, he was almost hit on the head by an inkstone.

Fortunately, the maid next to her pulled her and managed to avoid it.
