Ming Chengjun quickly flashed a strange look in his eyes when he heard the Noble Consort Su's question.

He knew that the empress had a lot of dissatisfaction towards the Noble Consort Su, and in addition to the fact that he had neglected the Noble Consort Su all these years, the Noble Consort Su had suffered a lot of grievances and lived his days on tenterhooks.

Ming Chengjun looked at her delicate appearance and could not help but feel some heartache.

He put a little strength into his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He promised in a deep voice, "I will definitely arrange a good child's future."

Noble Consort Su sighed lightly, pretending to be unconscious as he muttered to himself. "I only hope that our second child can continue to live well …"

Nestling in Ming Chengjun's embrace, Noble Consort Su couldn't help but think of her own eldest son.

Back then, when she was pregnant with her child, she was full of joy. Back then, her Holy Pet was perfect.

At the same time, the Su Family that should have been her shield was schemed against, causing the emperor to be enraged, and he was deposed to a remote place. After that, she completely lost her favor and was sent to the cold palace.

So soon after she gave birth to her child, she was forced to separate from her mother.

Now, although she had already found her eldest son, the two of them were still unable to recognize each other. Her son would call her aunt every day when he saw her. He didn't even know that he was his birth mother …

When Noble Consort Su thought about this, he immediately felt wronged. As he thought about it, tears unconsciously flowed down his cheeks.

"My beloved concubine has suffered many grievances over the years. I know that I will not let you suffer so much in the future." Ming Chengjun patted her back to comfort her.

A cool breeze welcomed them at the pavilion in the imperial garden. Ming Chengjun dropped his monarch attitude and, like a husband from a normal family, comforted the sad Noble Consort Su in a low voice.

Minister Mansion

"Sister-in-law."

The moment Shen Zhu stepped out of the courtyard, she heard someone calling her from behind. She stopped in her tracks, and turned around to see Ah Qiu not too far away, waving at her.

"Sister-in-law, are you going out?" Seeing Shen Zhu stop, the Ah Qiu walked over from the corridor.

"I'm going to the shop." Shen Zhu nodded his head, and explained: "Boss Zhou sent a man to deliver a message to me, saying that the shop is more or less finished, and told me to come over to take a look when I have time."

Hearing that, Ah Qiu immediately took two steps forward, affectionately grabbed her arm, and said with a fawning smile: "Sister-in-law, why don't you bring me along as well? We have a companion for the two of us! "

"There are so many people on the street, and you're carrying a body …"

Before Shen Zhu could even finish his words, he was immediately cut off by the Ah Qiu, "Sister-in-law, ever since I became pregnant, Yixuan refused to let me go anywhere, and even sent several servant girls after me when I left the courtyard. Father and Mother also exempted me from the daily rest of the time and allowed me to recuperate in peace.

Ah Qiu pulled Shen Zhu's arm and looked at her pitifully.

"We'll just bring two more maidservants, it'll be fine!" Furthermore, I am not someone who is crushed by mud, how could I be so pampered? " Ah Qiu tried his best to persuade her, "Sister-in-law, bring me along!"

Seeing that she was really panicking at home, Shen Zhu agreed.

She sent someone to the Ah Qiu Courtyard to speak with Su Yixuan, then called for two more maidservants before bringing the Ah Qiu out with her.

When the two arrived at Yuzhu Pavilion, Manager Li was already waiting at the door.

"Lady Shen."

Manager Li immediately smiled and greeted Shen Zhu when he saw her.

"Manager Li." Shen Zhu nodded.

Manager Li led her into the shop and explained with a smile: "Lady Shen, the items in the shop have been prepared according to your blueprints. They have just been placed today, do you have anything that you aren't satisfied with?"

Shen Zhu touched the wooden shelf at the front, the workmanship and materials were all excellent, no matter how she touched it or how she looked, all of it fit her requirements.

"Has your boss come to visit?" Shen Zhu looked at the arrangement of the shop and asked.

Manager Li nodded his head and smiled: "Boss has already come to visit this morning. Boss said that it would be better if these places were to be slightly changed so that I can ask Lady Shen about it when I see him."

Manager Li finished, and immediately explained the changes that Zhou Muqing wanted to explain, causing Shen Zhu to listen intently. After that, he nodded and spoke: "Let's do what Boss Zhou says."

After looking through the two floors, there weren't many changes. Shen Zhu gave a few more instructions before leaving with Ah Qiu.

The two of them had just walked out of Yuzhu Pavilion.

"Sister, this shop is really not bad. Also, those craftsmen's skills are also excellent, look at how nice those shelves are made. In the end, this is the capital city filled with talents, not comparable to our little place …"

Shen Zhu: "If you like it, I'll get the carpenter to make you a set of furniture some other day and change all the tables and chairs in your room."

The Ah Qiu shook his head: "Those in my room are all new, it's such a waste if I change them all. I better not take them."

The two of them walked and strolled along the street.

In the end, the Ah Qiu was tired and sat down to rest at a teahouse by the side of the road. Beside the teahouse, there was a grandstand.

The news about the Prince Su wanting to personally lead troops to battle.

The news of Prince Su leading his troops to exterminate the enemy had already spread throughout the capital overnight. The various teahouses and taverns in the capital were all chatting about this matter after dinner.

Shen Zhu and Ah Qiu listened at the door with interest. They looked at each other for a while before they paid and entered the teahouse.

"His Highness Prince Su is talented, talented, and at the age of eighteen, he became famous on the battlefield! This time, he will personally lead the troops, and those bandits that went against him will definitely be annihilated in one go … "

The storyteller was bragging, but most of the audience was listening with interest. There were even many who were clapping and cheering.

The Prince Su had a high reputation in the capital and was loved and respected by the citizens. In the eyes of the commoners, he was indeed as mighty as Mr.

Ah Qiu and Shen Zhu had nothing to do, so they simply listened in at the teahouse for a while.

After listening to their conversation, the two prepared to head back. As soon as they went down the stairs, they heard a dispute not too far away. Separated by the crowd, the two weren't able to clearly see what was going on inside.

"Sister-in-law, something seems to have happened over there?"

Ah Qiu curiously stood on his tiptoes and looked into the distance.

"You're still carrying your body, let's not go and watch the show. I think it's getting late, if we don't go back now, my cousin will get anxious."

Shen Zhu also looked over, but because the spectators had blocked her view, she could only hear sounds of conflict coming from inside.

That voice sounded somewhat familiar to her.

"Let's go."

Shen Zhu retracted his gaze, and walked to the carriage with Ah Qiu by his hand.

Before the two of them had even walked a few steps, a delicate shout came from behind them: "Shen Zhu, stop right there!"
