Divine Doctor's Daughter: Black-bellied Crown Princess

Chapter 290
House of Ministers of the Household Department.

Hubu Shangshu is more than 50 years old this year, and he is about to become an official. It is just because the only daughter in the family has not yet married, so Shangshu is always hesitant about this matter.

It was a good thing to meet the second prince when he was in court today, but for some reason, Shang Shu felt that the second prince seemed to have some complaints about him, and he didn't even say hello when he saw him.

of course.

Lord Shang Shu didn't expect the second prince to really treat him as his father-in-law.

After all, in his current situation, he is actually not worthy of being the second prince's father-in-law.

If he is still a minister who is reused by the emperor, then this matter will naturally be nothing, but if he is about to retire in the current situation, it will not be of any use in the court.

"Master is back."

When the servant at home saw Shang Shu coming home, he immediately greeted him with excitement.

Shang Shu frowned: "What's wrong?"

Hubu Shangshu has only one daughter by his side so far, and the son of the family used to be at home often, but after I don’t know where to know about the study tour, he went out to study all day long and was completely absent from home.

Such a son actually has some irritability in his heart now.

The son was originally intended to be raised to support him until the end of his life. Who knew that no one was at home now?

Shang Shu is not a pedantic person, but faced with this situation, he still feels a little uncomfortable after all, so in the mansion, these servants are never allowed to mention things about the young master.

But the young servant's appearance now really reminded Shang Shu of the scene when his son came back suddenly.

At that time, the boy was also so happy.

The expression on Master Shang Shu's face remained unchanged, but he was a little happy in his heart.

After all, there is only such a son.

"Yes—" The young master came back, these words stuck in his throat, and before he could ask, Lord Shang Shu heard the servant in front of him say: "The second prince is here!"

Lord Shangshu: "..."

The mood full of joy was immediately poured from the head to the feet.

This feeling is really very uncomfortable.

What's so good about seeing the Second Prince?
Master Shang Shu thought a little depressed, he also saw the second prince in the morning.

Just thinking of the second prince's attitude today, Master Shang Shu felt that this situation was not quite right.

From the time when the engagement was confirmed, the Second Prince's behavior towards the Shangshu Mansion was lukewarm, but now that he suddenly behaved like this, it made people feel a little uneasy.

"master?"

The boy thought that the prince's coming to the mansion should be something to be happy about, but he didn't expect that seeing his lord like this, he really didn't seem very happy.

But... why?

The Second Prince and the Shangshu Mansion will be in-laws in the future, and the Second Prince will also be the uncle of their Shangshu Mansion. Shouldn't everyone be happy to see it?

"Let's go."

The expression on Shang Shu's face was not very obvious, but the smile on his face was somehow squeezed out.

The boy nodded, although he felt strange in his heart, he still walked ahead and led the way.

In a quiet courtyard somewhere in the backyard of Shangshu Mansion.

The girl's cough was a bit serious, and even those who heard it felt a little uncomfortable.

"Miss?"

The girl came in from the outside, and when she heard such a violent coughing sound, her heart tightened. After quickly entering the room, she found that the lady who had fallen asleep on the bed woke up, and was coughing while clutching her chest.

"Miss, are you okay?" The girl hurriedly poured a glass of water, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine..." The lady who was coughing was the only daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

Shangshu's daughter is named Shen Yan, and she was spoiled by Lord Shangshu since she was a child, but even though she was so doted on by her father, Shen Yan did not show any signs of arrogance, but was very gentle and virtuous. When the marriage contract was confirmed with the second prince, many princes in the capital actually expressed their willingness to like Shen Yan, but things were confirmed later, so this situation gradually disappeared later.

No one dared to compete with the second prince for a woman.

Unless they are all dead.

The girl looked at the smile on Shen Yan's face, and immediately felt even more distressed: "Miss, you can't do this anymore, let's go to the master? There is really something wrong with your body. Think about it, it has always been like this before. Okay, why did you suddenly start coughing recently and even couldn't sleep all night? Miss you must be in trouble if you continue like this."

The girl grew up serving Shen Yan, she was very worried about Shen Yan's body, she almost cried when she said this to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan stared at the girl with a little scrutiny in her eyes.

How could one not pay attention to one's own body?
It's just that Shen Yan didn't know what was going on with her body, so she could only focus on the people around her.

No one will get sick for no reason, Shen Yan naturally knows how good her body is, since this is the case, there can be no natural illness.

There must be someone playing tricks behind it.

"Go get the pen and paper for me." Shen Yan said.

A little puzzled look appeared on the girl's face: "Miss, what are you going to do?"

A flash of determination flashed in Shen Yan's eyebrows: "I want to write a letter to my cousin in the palace."

The girl was immediately happy: "That's it, miss, you should do this when you have a problem with your body. I'll go and prepare something for you now."

……

In the front yard, Lord Shang Shu went to meet the second prince in person.

The second prince looked at Lord Shangshu and smiled lightly: "Master Shangshu didn't return to the mansion immediately after he came down to court? But did you go to see a friend?"

Shang Shu had doubts in his heart.

The second prince suddenly paid attention to this issue, which made Shang Shu feel very uncomfortable now.

As if watching him.

"Something happened in the household department, so I rushed over directly when I went down to court."

The second prince had a slight smile on his face: "So that's the case, but it's really hard for Mr. Shangshu."

Shang Shu hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

The smile on the corner of the second prince's mouth gradually became a little cold: "Master Shang Shu, does the current situation in the capital know?"

Master Shang Shu was surprised.

He pursed his lips, Shang Shu would not dare to say this now.

What is the current situation in the capital, and what is the situation that everyone is about to face? As the Minister of the Household Department, he naturally dare not make random analysis.

Because after all, this matter is not something that a small Hubu Shangshu should manage.

"The second prince is here today, isn't it for the sake of my daughter?" Mr. Shangshu changed his mind, and when he raised his head again, he had already changed the topic.

The smile on the second prince's face completely went cold.
