Chapter 473 You Can't Bear to Let That Woman Suffer
Shen Zeyi looked at his mother and said, "Okay."
After saying this, he glanced at his sister and father, then followed his mother into the house.
Jiang Dichen also hurriedly followed with his daughter in his arms.
The neighbors around the courtyard waited until Jiang Dichen and his family entered the house before they secretly stood out and whispered, "I never thought that the always cold King Han would have such a tender side."
"That's right. I never thought that our King Han, who has never been interested in women, has a child this big."
At this moment, someone suddenly made a "hush" sound and whispered to everyone, "This person must be the Concubine Lan who faked her death and ran away with her belly. You all should be careful when you talk."
When everyone heard that the woman who returned today was Shen Ruolan who faked her death and left, they instantly lost their composure and whispered even more loudly.
The news that Jiang Dichen returned with his wife and children in a high-profile manner spread like the wind to every corner of the capital in an instant.
For a time, people in the streets and alleys of the capital were discussing and wondering what kind of woman could be loved by that evil man who was not interested in women and killed people without blinking an eye.
Some people were jealous of Shen Ruolan, while others were happy for her and worried about her.
In the palace, the emperor was troubled when he learned that his son had left the capital secretly and brought back women and children.
It’s not that he didn’t want Shen Ruolan to come back, but she was very dissatisfied with his quiet departure. However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he still missed the twins, after all, he didn’t have many grandchildren.
The emperor rubbed his brows and asked the subordinate who came to report: "Did Lao Wu really bring back twins?"
The black guard knelt on one knee and reported to the emperor truthfully: "Your Majesty, it is true."
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "The twins are very cute."
The emperor heard that twin boys and girls were very pleasing, which made him more eager to see the two children, but when he thought of his annoying son, he suppressed this desire and said to his subordinate expressionlessly: "I know, you can go down."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The black-clad guard said this, then stood up and left.
After the guards left, the emperor instructed Eunuch Li beside him, "Eunuch Li, secretly send someone to observe the two children to see if they are as smart and cute as they say."
After hearing what the emperor said, Eunuch Li bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
In the Queen's bedroom, after she learned that Jiang Dichen had brought his wife and children back to the capital, she quickly found her son and asked, "Qing'er, Jiang Dichen has brought his wife and children back to the capital. What should we do now?"
Jiang Qing looked at his nervous mother and frowned, "Mother, Shen Ruolan was originally Jiang Dichen's woman. Isn't it normal for him to bring her back to Beijing?"
Although he was reluctant to see Shen Ruolan marry Jiang Dichen, he had no position or reason to stop her, so he could only watch the two reconcile.
"It's normal, but mother is worried. If he makes Shen Ruolan his wife, then her child will be his legitimate son, right?" When Empress Wu said this, she looked at her son with a worried face and said, "Qing'er, as the crown prince, you don't have any children to rely on. Mother is really worried about you."
Once Jiang Dichen has a legitimate son, her son's position as crown prince will be in jeopardy, and Empress Wu does not want to see this happen.
Jiang Qing understood what his mother said, but he could not have children just because he wanted to. Besides, he did not even have a wife, so who could he have children with?
Jiang rubbed his brows and said to his mother, "Mother, let's talk about this later."
Empress Wu quickly objected, "No, now we must either stop Jiang Dichen from making Shen Ruolan his wife, or we must kill his child."
As Empress Wu spoke, she made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Jiang Qing was so shocked that he quickly stood up and persuaded his mother, "Mother, you must not do this."
Empress Wu was instantly angry when she saw her son so excited. She looked at him with an unhappy face and said, "Why, you can't bear to let that woman suffer?"
Jiang Qing told his mother the truth: "Mother, I have promised Shen Ruolan that the fight between Jiang Dichen and I will not involve her and our two children. Please give up this idea immediately."
Empress Wu listened but didn't take it seriously and said, "That was what you agreed to. I didn't agree to her."
Seeing that his mother did not listen to his advice, Jiang Qing looked anxious and said, "Mother..."
Empress Wu interrupted her son and said, "You should go back first. I will handle this matter. You don't need to do anything."
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Jiang Qing threatened the queen directly, "Mother, if you take action against them and cause unforgivable consequences, I will not forgive you."
After Jiang Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left the Queen's bedroom.
The queen was very angry at her son's words. She slammed the table and said through gritted teeth, "Shen Ruolan, you are really good at seducing the men of the Jiang family to work for you."
Nanny Li carefully comforted the queen and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Let's see how Prince Han will arrange for her first."
Empress Wu nodded and said, "Well, as long as Jiang Dichen dares to marry her, her son cannot be kept!"
You can't blame her for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame her son for being born at the wrong time.
After hearing this, Nanny Li nodded but didn't dare to say anything.
In the courtyard, after Jiang Dichen settled Shen Ruolan and her son, he said to her, "Ruolan, I'm going back to the palace first. After you wash up, eat something and have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Shen Ruolan knew that Jiang Dichen had returned and there were many things waiting for him to deal with. She nodded to him and said, "Well, go ahead and do your work. I will take good care of everyone."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he hugged the two children one by one and went out.
After Shen Ruolan watched Jiang Dichen leave, she withdrew her gaze and instructed Aunt Liu and Aunt He, "Aunt Liu, Aunt He, go prepare some bath water and help the two children wash up first."
"Yes, master." Aunt Liu and Aunt He bowed to Shen Ruolan and responded.
After arranging things for Aunt Liu and the other person, Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Ning and said, "Ji Ning, go register all the things you brought here and store them in the warehouse."
"Yes, master." After Ji Ning finished speaking, he quickly took out the notebook he carried with him and went to count the things.
Just as Ji Ning left the house, a little maid came in. She looked at Shen Ruolan with a look of surprise and shouted, "Concubine Lan, you really are not dead. That's great."
After the little maid finished speaking, she hurried over to Shen Ruolan. Just when she wanted to hug Shen Ruolan and cry bitterly, Ye Bing suddenly stood in front of her with a cold expression and shouted loudly: "You bold servant, don't be rude to the lady!"
