The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Yu Zhen quickly made up her mind.

—She tried every means to leave the child with Guo Zhou. From then on, she was alone again. She could no longer rely on the previous young master Shen, so she decided to find a better love.

With the help of the Alliance of Unity, she will surely find it.

Just as the decision was made, a person strode in out of the corner of the eye.

I was instantly stunned.

"Guo Zhou?"

"It's Guo Zhou!"

"Just when I was about to fall asleep, someone brought me a pillow?"

"As expected, the Alliance of Unity was right."

"As long as I follow the Alliance of Unity, not only will the Alliance protect me, but my luck will also come!"

Yu Zhen hurriedly got up, adopted a lion-hunting-rabbit-like posture, and rushed over the moment Guo Zhou entered, grabbing his arm.

"Guo Zhou, this time, you won't be able to escape again."

"You have to raise this child, whether you like it or not!"

"We have to raise it, whether we like it or not!"

Yu Zhen's tone was intense, her eyes revealing a rare sharpness, and her hands gripped Guo Zhou tightly like vises.

Faced with this situation, Guo Zhou remained completely calm.

Instead, he casually said something.

"Is the child mine?"

"Why should I support someone who isn't mine?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhen was taken aback.

That's right, the child isn't Guo Zhou's, and has absolutely no relation to Guo Zhou!

However, she quickly found a solution.

He immediately shouted, "Even though the child isn't yours, you promised to raise the child and me..."

"Now, I don't need you to support me anymore; I'm going to pursue my own happiness."

"From now on, all you have to do is raise the child well for me."

Guo Zhou wasn't buying it, and said calmly, "Why should I? Who am I to you, to raise your child?"

"Am I your husband?"

"Are we married?"

"Why should we support them?"

"Hmph, even if we go to the authorities, given our relationship, they can't order me to raise your child."

"There's no such logic in the world!"

It must be said that Guo Zhou is quite eloquent, has a clear mind, acts calmly, and has a bit of a rogue-like air about him, making him very suitable for a place like the Demon Suppression Division where he faces complex situations every day.

These words have truly alarmed Yu Zhen.

Guo and Zhou are... firmly declining!

What should we do?

Should we really find an opportunity to leave the child at Guo Zhou's house and then run away?

Just as I was hesitating, a figure flashed by at the door.

Zhang Shi led his personal guards in.

However, Zhang Shi's face did not show his usual cold and stern expression; instead, it showed some surprise.

Because Zhang Shi had already understood the meaning behind Yu Zhen's words.

"Is this about abandoning your child and going off to pursue some so-called happiness?"

"No, it's not..."

Zhang Shi looked at Yu Zhen in disbelief.

I thought to myself, "Little sister, you're no good. I'm giving you a chance, but you're not going to do it!"

They're practically trying to take you to the Linjiang Sandbar Water Village, where the Shen family places great importance on bloodlines. You'll almost certainly surrender then.

Once the Shen family surrenders, given their past contributions, the Demon Suppression Division will certainly not do anything to you.

As the mother of the Shen family, I dare not say anything else, but you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing and enjoy wealth and honor.

But now...

to go?

Are you going to leave the child behind?

What else is there to say!

Disagreeing would make Zhang Shidu appear unrighteous.

He immediately shouted.

"Guo Zhou, stop your insolence!"

Guo Zhou quickly turned around and respectfully bowed to Zhang Shi.

"Guo Zhou, Guo Zhou..." Zhang Shi said with grief and indignation, "You yourself said that the child... is innocent."

"How can innocent children be left to wander?"

"So, children are great, we should raise them!"

"In that case, if you won't raise it, I'll raise it!"

"From now on, I'll raise the children!"

Guo Zhou: "???"

No, General, that's not what you said before we came!

Yu Zhen was also stunned.

Although she has not yet joined the Tongxin Alliance, she is emotionally very inclined towards it. Therefore, she holds a naturally hostile attitude towards Ren Tianye and all his subordinates.

This general is clearly under Ren Tianye's command.

They should have been her enemies, so why...?

Did you help her?

This... doesn't seem as bad as the Tongxin Alliance said!

So she quickly knelt down: "General, you are wise. I, Yu Zhen, am deeply grateful."

Zhang Shi smiled broadly: "Alright, get up."

"I see you're not feeling very well... Here's what I'll do: I'll send someone to settle you in first, and then we'll make further plans once this matter is resolved... no, once you've recovered enough."

Yu Zhen was overjoyed: "Thank you, General!"

"Hmm." Zhang Shi nodded and immediately summoned his personal guards to make arrangements for Yu Zhen. He then found the child and, at first glance, noticed his handsome features; he was sure to grow up to be a dashing young man.

"Everyone says that Shen Du of the Linjiang Sandbar Water Village is a handsome young man, and judging from this child, it certainly seems so!"

Zhang Shi muttered to himself as he led the children back to camp, instructing them to keep a close watch on Yu Zhen, since they would need her to come out and prove the child's bloodline before they could break into the Linjiang Sandbar Water Village.

They had just returned to camp when they ran into Lu Shuang.

Lu Shuang looked at the child Zhang Shi was holding, and asked the people around her, and was instantly dumbfounded.

"No, General Zhang Shi..."

"You're even willing to raise other people's children?"

Zhang Shi laughed heartily: "If you can take over the Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress so easily, what's raising someone else's child?"

"If we could take over Yunjing, I'd be willing to support anything!"

Immediately, he shouted, "Someone come here!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"This is a letter of surrender written by this general. You are to deliver it immediately to the Linjiang Shazui Water Fortress and give it to Shen Du. Tell him that if he wants to continue his bloodline, he should quickly open the gates of the Linjiang Shazui Water Fortress... to welcome the royal army!"

"yes!"

The personal guards delivered the message and left.

It was delivered smoothly on the same day.

Dressed in fine clothes, with a handsome face, Shen Du held the letter written by Zhang Shi in his own handwriting and read it word by word, his face full of surprise.

"child?"

"My child?"

"So, it was born two years ago in that small town, with that woman?"

"But it should be true!"

Shen Du still had some recollection of it.

In his past debauchery, he had been with many women, most of whom were willing to climb into his bed, but someone as eager and passionate as Yu Zhen was rare.

Therefore, I have an impression of Yu Zhen.

Although... I can't remember Yu Zhen's real name for the moment.

"But if it's her, based on the timeline, it's entirely possible that she could be pregnant."

"It's just..." Shen Du said with some doubt, "Given Yu Zhen's situation at the time, under those conditions, why would she get pregnant out of wedlock and have to raise the child?"

How much does she love children?

"They actually dared to give birth to it?"

"How could it grow this big?"

Shen Du couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, this is a good thing for him.

Like other large families, the Shen family was deeply influenced by patriarchal concepts and placed great importance on the continuation of the family line, especially on boys, as they relied on male descendants to carry on the family business and strengthen the clan.

However, he had no children in his early years. After he became in love with Lanxiang, Lanxiang was unable to conceive. He suffered countless pressures from his clansmen and they tried to force him to have concubines or mistresses.

He deeply loved Lanxiang and had long since reformed himself for her sake, refusing to have relations with any other woman besides Lanxiang. As a result, the matter of having a child was delayed and remained unresolved for a long time.

at the moment……

That's a good thing!

"If only I could have this child..."

"Surrendering to Ren Tianye isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, many people in the clan have a favorable impression of Ren Tianye. Besides, Pukou City is unlikely to last long. It might not be a bad thing to take the initiative to surrender and gain Ren Tianye's approval!"

Shen Du pondered carefully and quickly made a decision.

They immediately sent someone to invite the clan chief over.

The clan chief jumped up upon hearing this: "Really?"

"General Zhang Shi has bloodlines from the Su family? What are we waiting for? Surrender!"

"The price has been reduced immediately!"

"I'm going to see my grandson myself!"
