Shen Zhu frowned, he looked around anxiously, and after a moment, he said, "Someone is crying?"

"Let's go ahead and take a look."

Su Zongwen pursed his lips, hid Shen Zhu behind him and looked for the source of the voice.

They had not gone far when they saw a woman leaning against a maple tree. Beside her were two children, a boy and a girl.

"Let's go take a look."

Seeing these three, Su Zongwen's instinct was harmless, thus he relaxed his guard.

The girl leaning on the maple tree was dressed very simply. Her temperament was also the same as the village girl, and she didn't look like a local at all.

"Madam, are you alright?"

Shen Zhu noticed that the lady's expression was not good, and squatted in front of her and asked.

The woman's face was as pale as paper. She looked extremely weak, "Kind madam, I was poisoned, I would like to ask you to help me … "Help me …"

"Poisoned? What happened? " Hearing that she was poisoned, Shen Zhu's face changed, he extended his hand out to help her, "We will take you to see a doctor right now."

"There's no need to trouble yourself. It's useless. I'm already hopeless."

The woman shook her head. Her eyes reddened, and her voice seemed to fade away. "I know that I will die without a doubt. I only have one request, and I hope that Madam will agree to it."

"What is it? As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help. "

Shen Zhu looked at the two crying children, his heart aching, and looked at the girl resolutely.

The girl turned her gaze to the two children by her side with great difficulty. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and reluctance. "I humbly request that the young lady adopt me and my children. In the future, the court will be at peace. Bring Yu Pei to the Residence of Crown Prince, and I will repay you handsomely."

As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her sleeve.

The high quality white jade was finely carved, and it already signified a woman's identity.

Shen Zhu was shocked in his heart. He turned around and glanced at Su Zongwen, a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

She calmly received it.

To be able to meet the mother and son duo in the temple, they should be fated to be able to help out.

After the woman received the answer, she smiled in gratitude and slowly closed her eyes.

The two children cried even harder as they kept on calling out for their mother.

"…"

Shen Zhu cremated the woman's corpse and turned to look at the two sobbing children. He felt pity in his heart.

He had to accept even if he didn't want to.

She knew from the capital that the Board of Directors was in a state of turmoil.

The identities of these two children must not be simple. Who knows, once the chaos ends, Prince Gong and his household might help turn the tables on the old case and allow the two Su Family elders to return to the capital!

Of course, this was only a small part of the reason.

Most of the reason was because the two children were still so young. If she didn't agree, she definitely wouldn't be able to live on her own.

Shen Zhu squatted down and carefully wiped the tears off his two children's face as he coaxed them softly.

"Good girl, stop crying. Just follow me from now on, okay?"

She comforted the two children, got up, and looked at the man.

"Brother Wen, I …"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of our family."

Su Zongwen's promise somehow pacified the fear in his heart.

Returning to the manor, Shen Zhu called the two children the children of an old friend.

Although Uncle Chen felt that these two children looked familiar, he only warned them for a moment and did not say much.

Returning back to the courtyard house, only Zhuer said in a strange tone, "It is not certain if he is the child of an old friend."

Hearing that Ah Qiu was very angry.

What did Zhuer mean by that? Isn't it just to express that this child might be the illegitimate child between Shen Zhu and another man?

Or could it be that the two were born from Su Zongwen's concubines that were kept outside?

If it wasn't for the clear rules of the manor, no one could cause trouble.

Ah Qiu and Zhuer had already started fighting.

Only after many days did no one come to ask this child any more did Shen Zhu finally calm down.

All that remained was the matter of the two children's residency.
