Just as Shen Zhu returned to the courtyard, the Ah Qiu heard the news and came over.

"Sister-in-law, I have something important to tell you today." Ah Qiu ran into the house in a hurry.

"What's wrong? "Why are you in such a hurry?" Shen Zhu found a position to hug Ruanruan and looked at Ah Qiu strangely.

"You and Brother Su went back to the village today. I didn't hear any news, so I'm telling you, after noon today, the capital's mansion sent someone over to deliver a letter. They said that they wanted to bring Meier back!"

Ah Qiu immediately explained the situation to Shen Zhu.

"Someone has come from Beijing?" After Shen Zhu heard this, he came to a sudden realization. It seems like the reason the Uncle Chen called Su Zongwen over should also be for this, right?

"That's right, I don't know what method Meier used, but when the Duke gave the order, he was especially furious, and in the blink of an eye, he summoned the person back."

The Ah Qiu chattered, his face full of indignation.

"She'll be back soon. What are you worrying about?" Shen Zhu looked at Ah Qiu with a bit of amusement.

Ah Qiu curled his lips and said: "I just can't stand to watch her like that. She's always showing off her strength, and she really thinks she's the mistress of the Prince's Mansion? "If it wasn't for that first wife who didn't lower herself to her level, how could she be so mighty?"

As she spoke, she changed the topic and continued, "As for that young master, he's also in love with beauties. The position of Noble Heir did not land on him, the Duke Palace must be in chaos.

With regards to the establishment of the Royal Palace's Noble Heir, the imperial edict was equivalent to announcing to the world that this manor was the Duke's Palace's villa, so he had long since heard of this news.

"It's fine if you say these words to me, but if your mother hears them, I'll say them to you again."

Shen Zhu shook his head helplessly. Ah Qiu's personality of gossiping was really developing!

"What's there to be afraid of? The Mother is busy in the big kitchen right now, and didn't have the time to care about me."

Ah Qiu stuck out his tongue and laughed.

"You little girl."

Shen Zhu laughed, but did not continue speaking, and hugged Ruanruan as he listened to Ah Qiu talk about the interesting things in the capital and in the residence.

The two of them chatted in the room for a bit. It was getting late and Ah Qiu thought that his mother would be back soon.

"Sister-in-law, I'll come back tomorrow to play with you. If Mother comes back and sees that I didn't turn red in my room, he'll have to scold me again." After the Ah Qiu finished speaking, he ran out like a wisp of smoke.

Shen Zhu's voice came from far behind, "Slow down and be careful not to fall."

Seeing that Ruanruan had fallen asleep in his arms, Shen Zhu carefully placed him into the cradle while he went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zi Yi and Jingshu saw that Shen Zhu had entered the kitchen, and followed him in like a small tail.

Jingshu looked at Shen Zhu eagerly and asked: "Mother, can we still fry potato chips today? Shuer still wants to eat it. "

"Yi'er also wants to eat it."

"It just so happens that there are still some potatoes here. The Mother will fry them for all of you later. You can eat them after dinner tonight."

Shen Zhu saw that Jingshu was still thinking about it and if he had to laugh, he would. He looked around the kitchen and found two or three potatoes, and agreed.

"Yeah, Mother is the best." Jingshu clapped happily.

"Mother, Shuer and Big Brother are here to help as well."

"The two of you, help me wash the potatoes. Afterwards, go look for Mother and help him look after the potatoes."

She watched as the two little ancestors finished washing the dishes and left the kitchen. Only then did she feel at ease and start cooking.

Song Ziyi and Song Jingshu rested their chins as they sat on the brick bed, looking at the sleeping Ruanruan in the cradle. The two of them started to discuss quietly.

"Shuer, look at my little sister's red face, does it look like an apple?" Song Ziyi's voice was low.

Song Jingshu blinked his eyes, and immediately retorted in a small voice: "Big brother, you are talking nonsense, little sister's face is obviously like a peach, it doesn't look like an apple at all."

"It's an apple."

"Peach."

"Apple."

Song Ziyi and Song Jingshu were at odds with each other, but they were afraid that they would wake Ruanruan up, so they could only argue on the side in a low voice, not giving up on each other.

In the end, the two of them agreed that when Su Zongwen came back and asked for his opinion, he would be the one to decide and decide whether the two of them were right or wrong.

Shen Zhu, who was in the kitchen, naturally did not know that the two children were arguing in such a bored manner.

She looked at the leftover ingredients in the kitchen. She planned to make some braised tofu, stir-fry an eggplant, then cook a soup, and finally cook some meat and noodles for dinner.

Shen Zhu picked up two eggplants, first he washed them clean, then he cut them into strips that were about the same in size. He sprinkled salt on them evenly and soaked them in water.

Stir-fry the eggplant until fragrant. After stir-frying, the eggplant will become soft. At this time, you can put the soy sauce in and stir-fry it for a while, then add a little water to continue stir-frying.

He repeated this process for 2-3 times, only adding a small amount of water each time. Finally, he added a small amount of salt. After the eggplant was cooked, he would add some starch water to stir it up before cooking.

Shen Zhu quickly finished preparing the few dishes and ordered a noodles in the end.

She washed the wok clean, then started to fry the potato chips with oil. After the woman scooped up all the potato chips, Su Zongwen coincidentally came back.

Su Zongwen went into the kitchen and helped carry the food out. Zi Yi and Jingshu, upon seeing this, immediately ran to the dining table and took a whiff of the fragrance of the food, as if they had forgotten about the argument between the two.

"Go wash your hands and eat first." Su Zongwen warned the two of them.

"Yes, Father."

After dinner, the two children contentedly ate on potato chips, then went to play for a while before obediently washing up and going to bed.

Su Zongwen then told Shen Zhu about the situation after he was called over by the Uncle Chen today, and it was just as Shen Zhu had expected.

The reason the Uncle Chen called him over was indeed because of Meier.

Because the news from the capital came so suddenly, the Uncle Chen was unable to find anyone to help them hire a carriage, so he quickly called for Su Zongwen.

"I wonder if something big happened in the capital. That Meier looked very worried, and he hurried back in the middle of the night."

Su Zongwen recalled what had happened in the evening.

"Today, I heard from the Ah Qiu that the Duke had set up the second young master of the Palace as the Noble Heir. The eldest young master's urgent request for Meier to return must have something to do with all of this." Shen Zhu roughly guessed it.

"Never mind, these internal disputes have nothing to do with us." The two of them did not continue to be entangled with this topic, no matter what matter Meier left in such a hurry, it was none of their business.

That night, the couple chatted for a while before they went to bed early.

On the other hand, Meier was not as comfortable. Because they were hurrying through the night, she stayed on the carriage during the night. In order to return early, Meier let the carriage driver take the shortcut.

It was already late at night, and Meier was extremely sleepy, but he could not fall asleep while leaning on the carriage. Just as he closed his eyes, he felt a jolt, followed by a wave of fatigue.

"Aunt, just sleep for the night. When you enter the city tomorrow, find an inn and rest well for the night." Xiao Li advised.

From the Clear Water Town to the capital city, even if they had to ride the horses, it would still take them a few days to travel from the capital city to the Clear Water Town.

"It's all because of that Shen Zhu! If it were not for her, how could I end up like this! " On the way back and forth, Meier's heart was filled with a stomach full of anger.

"Now that First Young Master and the Noble Heir are at odds, the plan that I have painstakingly carried out for so many years has all come to naught! If it wasn't for Shen Zhu, I wouldn't have been left in the Villa at all. Perhaps, even the position of the Eldest Young Master's Noble Heir wouldn't have been snatched away by that Second Young Master. " Meier was holding onto the embroidered handkerchief with a face full of unwillingness.
