In the evening, Jingshu craved for the potato chips that Shen Zhu had made.

Shen Zhu thought that it had been a while since he had last gone to the kitchen to cook, so after he finished cooking the potato chips, he personally went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

There were a lot of dishes in the small kitchen. Shen Zhu casually picked up a few simple dishes and made dinner, and the whole family started to eat happily. Maybe it was because the food that Shen Zhu cooked was delicious, Jingshu even ate half a bowl of rice.

After dinner, Shen Zhu tidied up the room. As he was tidying up his clothes, he found the jade pendant that Zi Yi and Jingshu's mother had given to him when they were recuperating.

After she finished arranging her clothes, she left the jade pendant behind. Not long later, Su Zongwen finished washing up and returned back to his room.

"Brother Wen, now that we have reached the capital, Dad and Second Uncle have returned to their original positions." Brother Wen, now that we have reached the capital, Dad and Second Uncle have returned to their original positions. Shen Zhu took out his jade pendant and explained his thoughts.

"You're right, I'll go tomorrow." Su Zongwen nodded his head and casually put away the jade pendant. At the same time, he reached out and pulled Shen Zhu, and the two sat on the side of the bed.

"Yue Niang, you've worked hard these past few days." Su Zongwen spoke in a deep voice, he was quiet for a moment, then continued, "I discussed it with father yesterday, Yi'er is not young anymore, after two days, send him to the school to study."

"That's fine too, if Yi'er can go to the school, it's also fine. If he follows his peers, maybe he can change his personality and become more cheerful as well." Shen Zhu nodded her head, Zi Yi's way of speaking and way of thinking was like a little adult, which made her heartache.

"The child is young, it will be better if he grows up." Su Zongwen consoled.

The two chatted for a while before resting.

The next day, Su Zongwen took what Shen Zhu had told him to heart. After eating, he brought the jade along with him and went out.

Today, Su Yunyan and the rest had arrived at the Shen Zhu Courtyard early in the morning.

Shen Zhu saw that they were teasing Ruanruan and played around merrily, so he went to the small kitchen to make some pastries and brought Jingshu along to the small study. Whether it was at Clear Water Town or if he had returned there, Zi Yi had always been the most active one in reading.

"Yi'er, are you tired of reading books for the better part of a day? Come over for a while, Mother made a snack that you liked. " Shen Zhu placed all the pastries on the table and greeted Zi Yi with a smile.

"Thank you, Mother." Zi Yi put down the book and ran over from the table.

Big brother, this is the Beijing Peach Blossom Sesame. I specifically bought it from the Mother. You did not eat it yesterday. Jingshu walked towards Zi Yi with an oily paper bag in his arms, as if he was taking credit for it.

"Thank you, sister." Zi Yi happily received the oil paper bag and patted Jingshu's head with a smile.

"Yi'er, you are still young, there is no need to work so hard every day."

Shen Zhu sat at the side and poured a cup of warm water for Zi Yi.

"Mother, I didn't work hard." Zi Yi quickly comforted her.

He truly liked to read these things, and also liked to practice martial arts.

"You child."

Shen Zhu also knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

"Yesterday, your father told me that he wanted you to go to school in a few days."

"Really?" Hearing this, Zi Yi's spirits were immediately lifted. He was extremely happy in his heart.

"Really."

"Mother, can I go to the school too?"

Jingshu opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Zhu.

"Shuer is still young, he can still go when he's a little older."

Shen Zhu smiled as he comforted her, but Jingshu was a girl after all, and if he were older, he would have to ask his teacher to teach him at home.

Most of the students in the capital were men. Even though the rich families' daughters all studied and read, they all invited teachers from their own families to stay away from public view.

"Then Shuer will have to grow up quickly. That way, I can go to the school with big brother." Jingshu was not discouraged, and puffed up his cheeks to cheer himself on.

The three of them chatted in the room for a while. After Zi Yi finished eating the cake, Shen Zhu took Jingshu and left, no longer bothering him to study.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you bored of being cooped up in this room?" Shall we kick the shuttlecock together? " The moment Shen Zhu entered the house with Jingshu, Su Yunyan rushed over happily.

"Aunt Yunyan, what is a shuttlecock?" Jingshu pulled at the corner of Shen Zhu's clothes, and curiously looked at Su Yunyan.

"Look, this is the thing in Aunt's hand." Su Yunyan grinned as he brought a multicolored shuttlecock in front of Jingshu. Jingshu was immediately attracted by this multicolored shuttlecock, and clamored to play.

"Alright, alright, we can't use our punches and kicks in this room. Go play in the yard."

Shen Zhu laughed helplessly, and led a few people into the courtyard, and ordered a chair to be moved to the side to watch.

The group of people were laughing and playing merrily as they kicked the shuttlecock in the small courtyard. The sun was burning brightly in the sky, and although they were playing in the shade, it was still extremely hot.

In the next few days, Su Yunyan purposely made a few more shuttles, and each person tried all kinds of play methods, the more he played, the more excited he became.

At the same time, Su Zongwen found out about the information on the jade pendant.

That night, after eating dinner, the children all rested. Su Zongwen told Shen Zhu everything that he found out clearly.

"The Yi'er and Shuer are from the Residence of Crown Prince Gong. The one we met back then was the consort, only, unfortunately, Prince Gong had been assassinated over a year ago."

Although he was a prince with a different surname, he was still favoured. More importantly, Prince Gong had originally been in the line, supporting Prince Su Ming Jiling.

Shen Zhu and Su Zongwen had coincidentally met the two children more than a year ago, and it was probably because the Duke Palaces had been in a difficult situation at that time that the consort had been able to escape to the Clear Water Town while bringing the two children along.

"Since Prince Gong is already dead, what about the others?" When Shen Zhu heard that the Marquis was already dead, his heart tensed up. He never thought that the fate of the Yi'er and Shuer was so tragic.

"The second son of the Duke's Mansion, the current Noble Heir, rushed to the feudal fiefdom after dealing with the Duke's funeral. His highness, the Duke Gong's fief, was still far away from the capital, and he couldn't return in a short while. Today, after I found out the news, I have already sent someone to deliver a letter." Su Zongwen explained the matter clearly with a few words.

Right now, secretly sending a letter to the people of the Duke Gong Palace was the safest solution. Zi Yi and Jingshu must not cause too much trouble at this time, or else things would get out of hand.

"Prince Gong is the prince of the dynasty. Have you found out why he died?" Shen Zhu was originally sitting on the bedside reading a book. After hearing Su Zongwen's words, his heart tightened and he lost the mood to continue reading, hurriedly placing the book to the side.

"This matter is likely related to the princes' power struggle. The relationship between them is extremely complicated …"

Su Zongwen wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Then the Yi'er and Shuer …" Shen Zhu was worried in his heart, he had just spoken halfway when Su Zongwen interrupted him.

"Since Duke Gong Palace hasn't sent any message yet, Yi'er and Shuer are safe in the manor, so you don't have to be too worried, Yue Niang. Everything is still with me." Su Zongwen embraced Shen Zhu and patted her shoulders to comfort her.

"Mn, Brother Wen, I believe you." Shen Zhu rested his head on the man's shoulder gently, feeling exceptionally safe.

The moon hung high in the night sky. The bright moonlight shone through the window into the room, adding a hint of beauty to the tranquil night.
