After her true feelings were exposed, the real princess was favored by the whole world

Chapter 20 Well done, so good
"Thank you, Fourth Princess, for reminding me. I will definitely keep it in mind."

Lu Jiu'an thought for a while, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it would be better to act early.

"I will immediately order people to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Hou Mansion. I will never relax my vigilance in the future."

"I will also drive out people outside the Lu family, please don't worry, Fourth Princess!"

Shen Qingtang didn't expect Lu Jiu'an to be so obedient.

She patted Lu Jiu'an on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "Well done, you're so good."

"You should have a good rest, I'm leaving."

Lu Jiu'an is very capable of action. He arranges everything one by one so that no one can harm his mother, especially his aunt's family!
Lu Jiu'an did not question Shen Qingtang's words at all and believed in her.

Seeing Lu Jiu'an making such a big move, Shang Shijin walked into the house and asked doubtfully: "An'er, what are you doing?"

Lu Jiu'an didn't dare to tell Shang Shijin the truth rashly, he had already thought of the reason.

"Mom, you also know that an assassin has appeared in the palace. Although the assassin has been subdued, what if there are other assassins lurking in the imperial city?"

"That's why I ordered people to go down and conduct a thorough investigation to see if there is anyone suspicious in the house."

Shang Shijin was a sensible person, so she nodded: "An'er, you did the right thing."

"Mom, I'm working for the emperor now. I don't take good care of you. It's my son's unfilial piety." Lu Jiu'an looked remorseful.

If he hadn't been busy with official duties and neglected his mother, her mother would not have been harmed by Gao Zhilan.

Shang Shijin touched Lu Jiu'an's head with loving eyes, "Being able to serve the emperor is a blessing for our Lu family. It's too late for my mother to be happy, so why should I blame you?"

"Besides, mother has always been taken care of by her servants, and she is living a good life. You don't have to blame yourself."

Lu Jiu'an seized the words and said smoothly: "Mom, the maids around you are all reliable people. You must have them check your daily food and clothing expenses carefully to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with malicious intentions."

This sentence really served as a warning to Shang Shijin.

"An'er, you're right. Mom should pay more attention to her."

In order not to hold Lu Jiu'an back, Shang Shijin has always been cautious in his words and deeds and be kind to others.

As long as she takes care of herself, it will be the greatest help to An'er.

Shang Shijin understands this better than anyone else.

Lu Jiu'an felt a little relieved. Mom is a smart person and she will know what to do.

But this alone is not safe enough.

"Mom, I have arranged two new capable personal guards for you, so that I can feel more at ease."

Gao Zhilan aside, what if Mom really encounters an assassin?
It's always a good idea to err on the side of caution.

"Okay, mother, I will listen to you."

After her husband's death, Shang Shijin had been a little depressed. Fortunately, with Lu Jiu'an by her side, she managed to survive.

"Mom, there is one more thing."

"I'm afraid there are assassins in the imperial city now. It's not very safe. I'm injured again now, so it's not convenient for me to entertain guests. I want to send someone to send my cousin back."

"She is the apple of the eye of the Gao family. It would be bad if something happens in the imperial city."

This is what Lu Jiu'an wants to do the most, send Gao Zhilan away quickly!

When he thought something might happen to Gao Zhilan, Shang Shijin immediately agreed.

She couldn't afford her sister's anger.

The reason why Gao Zhilan was sent away on the grounds that the assassin and Lu Jiu'an were injured made perfect sense.

"Okay, mother will send someone to make arrangements right now."

Under Lu Jiu'an's instructions, Gao Zhilan was almost forcibly sent away.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only be sent back.

This is Shen Qingtang's first time out of the palace after coming here.

She sat in the carriage and toured the entire imperial city before returning to the palace.

She has memorized the route to the imperial city in case of emergency.

After returning to the Moon Palace, Shen Qingtang clearly felt that the mood of the palace maids and guards had improved.

Feicui led everyone to kneel in front of Shen Qingtang. "Thank you, Fourth Princess, for exempting the slaves from punishment."

"The slaves will continue to serve the fourth princess with all their heart in the future."

Before they entered the Moon Palace as servants, they had a very bad impression of the fourth princess.

I thought that the fourth princess would often torment them and make them restless.

Who would have thought that the fourth princess was not at all what the rumors said, and was actually very kind to them.

No master will intercede for his slaves. Their interests are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the masters.

But the fourth princess was different. After hearing the news that they were punished, she immediately went to the queen to exempt them from punishment.

In their hearts, the fourth princess is the best princess in the world!

"Everyone, get up."

Seeing how they were loyal to him wholeheartedly, Shen Qingtang began to feel tangled in his heart again.

There was another concern in her heart, which was not a good thing.

How could she escape from the palace without any burden in the future?

Shen Qingtang sighed slightly, hey, her damn conscience.

Forget it, don’t think about it for now.

Shen Qingtang returned to the study and continued reading and studying.

Seeing that its owner was back, the little white cat ran over in a hurry, grabbed her clothes and crawled into her arms, exposing its soft and furry belly.

"Meow~" The owner begged to touch me~

Shen Qingtang stretched out his fingers and gently poked its chubby belly.

During this period, the little white cat took the elixir and was served delicious food every day. Now he is getting fatter and fatter.

But it’s okay to be a little fatter, fat ones are cuter.

Shen Qingtang was petting the cat and reading a book, very leisurely.

When it was almost time for dinner, Shen Qingtang put down the cat and got up and went out.

It was inevitable for the palace maids and guards to follow her, but there was no need for Lu Jiuan to follow her all the time.

It’s only one person who can be saved.

Shen Qingtang walked into the Jinluan Hall, and Shen Tianming happened to come out of the study at this time.

His face was serious and his brows were furrowed as if he had encountered some difficulty.

But after he saw Shen Qingtang, his expression softened.

"Qingtang, why are you here?"

"I'll come to have dinner with you, can't I?" Shen Qingtang walked towards him.

"How could it not work? It's too late for Father to be happy."

When Shen Qingtang left the palace today, Shen Tianming secretly sent someone to follow her to prevent her from escaping.

But what surprised him was that Shen Qingtang showed no signs of running away.

Not only that, but now she came to have dinner with him.

You know, Shen Qingtang hated eating with him last time.

Shen Qingtang definitely didn't come to the Three Treasures Hall just to have a meal with him.

From a certain perspective, the father and daughter are quite similar.

Dinner had already been prepared, and Shen Qingtang didn't show any politeness to him. He chose a seat he liked and sat down.

After Shen Qingtang took a few bites, he started talking about business.

To be honest, she didn't want to stay with Shen Tianming for a long time now.

"Father, I will speak frankly."

"Please take General Lu away from me."
