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

After Lu Xingyue became king, he couldn't take any time off anymore. People kept coming to visit him to express their gratitude. Some people who had not dealt with him before began to fawn over him when they saw him.

The status had changed, and the position had to change. It was not appropriate for the prince to still be in charge of Jinyiwei. Before Emperor Hui'an could speak, Lu Xingyue voluntarily resigned from the post of envoy of Beizhen.

Emperor Hui'an didn't say anything. There just happened to be a vacancy in the imperial guard, so he was asked to take over and be responsible for patrolling the palace.

Shen Lansui was also forced to get busy. Invitations were sent one after another and piled high on the desk.

Fortunately, she is a princess now, so she doesn't want to find any excuse to push it away.

Today, another bunch of invitations arrived. When Guan Chun was sorting them out, she saw familiar words. She pulled them out and found that they were from the Marquis of Wu'an. She thought about it and asked Shen Lansui, who was reading a medical book: "Madam, Wu'an." The Marquis Mansion sent an invitation, do you want to see it?"

Shen Lansui suddenly remembered what she had promised Shen Xiyun before, and immediately sat up: "Let me take a look."

Guan Chun gave her the invitation.

Shen Lansui glanced at it and saw that it was indeed from Shen Xiyun. She smiled and said, "Keep this letter. You can go to the warehouse to pick out a few valuable treasures and pack them up. I can send them to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion then."

"Madam, are you really going? I heard that the Marquis Wu'an Mansion is in chaos." Guan Chun whispered.

Shen Lan smiled and said, "I'm going to go if it messes up."

Guanchun: "Huh?"

Two days later, Shen Lansui took the Spring Festival and Summer Appreciation in a horse-drawn carriage to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

Marquis Wu'an had not returned from an errand abroad. Only Mrs. Hou and her family members came out to greet her. Shen Xiyun was standing beside her. When Mrs. Hou saw the carriage from Prince Ying's Palace coming, followed by a group of tall guards, she immediately waved to Shen Xiyun and said: "Xi Xiyun Yun, come here, why are you standing so far away?"

Shen Xiyun secretly felt funny, but did not show it. She stood next to Mrs. Hou obediently. The others couldn't help but look at her with a hint of meaning.

Soon the carriage stopped, and Shen Lansui came out holding Guan Chun's hand. He saw Shen Xiyun at a glance, and the two exchanged a knowing look.

Mrs. Hou greeted her warmly and praised Shen Lansui for a long time. Shen Lansui smiled the whole time and answered a few words from time to time. Her attitude was neither enthusiastic nor cold. On the contrary, Mrs. Hou felt that she was difficult to handle, and her attitude became more and more respectful.

Shen Lansui went to the front hall to sit for a while, and then offered to have a word with Shen Xiyun.

Mrs. Hou glanced at Shen Xiyun, gestured with her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you sisters to meet each other. You really should have a good talk. Go ahead."

Shen Xiyun took Shen Lansui to her yard.

The two of them walked in front, and the maids followed far behind. Shen Lansui couldn't hear what they said. Shen Lansui didn't have any scruples and asked straight to the point: "You asked me to come, just to go through the motions to support you?"

Shen Xiyun brushed away the willow branches blocking the road and whispered: "Isn't this enough? As long as you show a little concern for me in front of others, they won't dare to push me anymore."

"Are you afraid of being crowded?" Shen Lansui looked her up and down, "You are pregnant, who dares to make you angry?"

Shen Xiyun paused slightly, touched her belly and said, "I don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl yet. If it's a girl, they will definitely laugh at her."

"They" refers to the sisters-in-law and Mrs. Hou in that room.

Marquis Wu'an was passionate and lustful. He had a lot of aunts, concubines, and concubines in the backyard. There were even more people after marriage. They all lived under the same roof. There was inevitable friction. In order to fight for the little family property, they all tried their best. The explanation is that although Mrs. Hou is the head wife, she is not very popular with Marquis Wu An, so she attaches great importance to her children. Knowing that her second son is not up to expectations, she hopes that the child in Shen Xiyun's belly will be up to date.

"Just laugh and let them laugh. There is nothing wrong with girls. At least they are considerate. It would be a sin to give birth to a son like Marquis Wu An and Fang Si."

Shen Lansui's words were so straightforward that Shen Xiyun was amused, "You're right, it doesn't matter if you have a daughter, the worst is to have another one."

"So that's why you came to me?" Shen Lansui raised his eyebrows. Shen Xiyun pushed open the bedroom door, nodded and said, "This is what Mrs. Hou meant. She heard about your excellent medical skills and knew that she couldn't help you, so she asked me to come and ask you to help save Fang Si."

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of medicine floated out, making people dizzy.

Shen Xiyun said without changing her expression: "The medicine smells bad, so please bear with it."

Shen Lansui nodded, "It doesn't matter."

"You guys stay outside and don't disturb the princess' treatment."

Shen Xiyun glanced majestically at the maid behind her, and then closed the door.

She took Shen Lansui's hand and walked to the bed. Shen Lansui looked down and took a breath.

The person on the bed was so thin that he looked completely different from the one she had seen before. His face was like gold paper, his energy was like a gossamer, and he looked like he was about to die soon.

He closed his eyes tightly, breathing more out than in. He felt like he might pass away at any time, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or fainting.

"He slept to death. Don't worry, he won't hear anything. Even if he hears it, it's useless. He is no different from a fool now."

Shen Xiyun's cold tone made people feel heartbroken.

Shen Lansui reacted instantly and said in shock: "Did you do it?"

Shen Xiyun did not deny it, but just looked at the person on the bed with a stagnant gaze, "If he hadn't been useful, he would have died long ago based on what he did to me."

"Then you asked me to come, do you want him to be good or not?" Shen Lansui didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Shen Xiyun was not simple, and she also knew about Fang Si's virtues. If it were her, she would probably be even more extraordinary than Shen Xiyun. .

"A healthy fool is better to handle, isn't it? If I give birth to a daughter, I can have another son."

Shen Lansui remained silent. She took a deep look at Shen Xiyun, nodded, and grabbed Fang Si's wrist.

Half an hour later, Shen Lansui came out of Shen Xiyun's bedroom and saw Mrs. Hou waiting outside. When she came out, her eyes lit up.

She stepped forward quickly, wanting to hold Shen Lansui's hand but not daring to do so. She asked awkwardly, "Princess, how is my son? Is there any hope?"

Shen Lansui and Shen Xiyun looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

Mrs. Hou's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled as she asked, "You...you can't save me either?"

"It's possible to save him. I've given him acupuncture just now, but I can only save his life. If he takes good care of himself and abstains from sex, he may live a long life."

Shen Lansui paused, "It's just——"

"Just what?" Mrs. Hou asked eagerly.

"It's just that his brain has been damaged by illness. I'm afraid he will only behave like a three-year-old child in the future."

Shen Lansui glanced at Madam Hou with pity, "I'm a little tired, so I won't bother you too much. Madam can go in and see him. Second sister, please send me out."

Shen Xiyun glanced at the lost Madam Hou, suppressed her smile and said, "Okay." (End of Chapter)
