Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Mo continued: "I heard that you still have three children, don't you want to meet them? If you don't accompany me to the palace, I'll instruct Chun Ying to accompany you. You just stay here and wait for my return. "

Shen Zhu was indeed missing a child, and was unsure if Ruanruan had eaten well in the past few days, did Jingshu ask him where Mother had been? Also, Zi Yi, did he know that he had disappeared from King Xian's Mansion? And Su Zongwen...

Thinking about Su Zongwen, Shen Zhu's heart ached. Thinking about how he had already agreed to the marriage alliance, wouldn't his disappearance just happen to be what he wanted?

"I'll go with you."

Shen Zhu no longer hesitated and decided to enter the palace with Xiao Mo.

Firstly, she could take a look at her child, and secondly, there were many people in the palace. If she had the chance, she could escape.

"That's right." Xiao Mo smirked, "Chun Ying!"

Chun Ying immediately walked in from outside, "Master."

"Go and choose a suitable set of clothes for Madam. She needs to wear it when she enters the palace tomorrow." he ordered.

Chun Ying replied and left the house.

"I've prepared a lot of nice clothes and jewelry for you. You'll see it soon enough."

Shen Zhu did not reply. Her mind was filled with images of what she should do if she entered the palace tomorrow. She guessed that most of the people in the palace knew about her disappearance. How should he face Mu Qingling?

These were the problems she had to face. There was no way she could avoid them for her entire life.

Seeing her frown, Xiao Mo raised his arm and placed it on her shoulder, "Leave everything to me, you don't have to do anything."

Shen Zhu took his arm away, and turned to look at Xiao Mo. He asked Xiao Mo seriously: "What do you like about me?" Can't I change it?

Xiao Mo thought about it carefully before replying, "I have seen a lot of beauties. Among all the beauties, you are the most unremarkable one, but the most special one. It is rare that you should have ideas of your own. It is just like me liking the strong, I like you like this, and not the ordinary women who have to submit to it at home. "

In fact, there was someone else in his mind.

"Therefore, I only want you. I will only want you."

His black eyes were like a spring of water, as if he wanted to suck a person in.

"Men speak well."

"I can do it well. Do you want me to try it?"

Xiao Mo laughed sinisterly, his right hand reaching behind her back and looping around her waist.

Heh!

If it was Mu Xiangsi, she would have slapped him with her palm. The two of them were cousins, the difference between them was really huge.

His eyes darkened as he realized he was thinking about the woman again.

Well, it must have been the woman's letter yesterday that had upset him!

Shen Zhu suddenly jumped up from his chair, and shook his head with all his might: "No need, I'll go see Chun Ying."

Xiao Mo remained expressionless as a strange light flashed across his eyes.

Just as she walked out of the door, Chun Ying held her clothes and walked towards her.

"Madam, here are your clothes." Chun Ying showed the clothes to Shen Zhu.

Green!

It seemed that Xiao Mo was especially fond of cyan colors.

"Try it on?" Xiao Mo quietly walked behind her, touching his chin with one hand, his gaze shifting between Shen Zhu and her clothes.

"No need, I think it's very suitable."

Shen Zhu shook his head, thinking that this outfit was just too extravagant.

She glared back at him and walked out into the yard, looking around as if searching for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"Where is the kitchen? I'd like to see the cook. "

Shen Zhu felt that he had cooked quite well these few days, and thought that he would probably have to leave tomorrow if he had the chance. He decided to take advantage of the time now to learn a few moves from the chef.

"I'll take you there."

Xiao Mo reached out and grabbed Shen Zhu's wrist, bringing her to the west side of the small courtyard.

The little yard to the west had a kitchen and woodshed, and a cellar for storing things.

It was not time for lunch, and the cook, Lu Fang, was leaning against the kitchen door, dozing off.

"Lu Fang!"

Lu Fang suddenly woke up from his stupor and rolled over to the ground. When he raised his head and saw that it was Xiao Mo, he quickly crawled up and kneeled on the ground.

"Please forgive me master, please forgive me master!" He kowtowed several times in fear, his body trembling.

Shen Zhu frowned and looked at Xiao Mo beside him. Seeing that his expression was not abnormal, why was the chef so afraid?

"Get up, Madame wants to see you."

"Yes." Lu Fang trembled as he stood up, glanced at Shen Zhu and immediately lowered his head.

"You go out first. If you stay here, he'll be scared." Shen Zhu pushed Xiao Mo's shoulders.

Cold sweat trickled down Lu Fang's back when he heard this. He had heard that a lady had arrived, but he didn't expect her to be so bold as to speak to his mistress in such a manner.

"I... "Fine." Xiao Mo left the small courtyard reluctantly.

"Now, can you at least speak properly?" Shen Zhu asked, he did not care about Lu Fang being stunned there, and walked straight into the kitchen.

Lu Fang raised his head and stretched his neck, seeing that Xiao Mo had really left, he used his sleeves to wipe his sweat, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

"May I know what madam has instructed me to do so?" Lu Fang asked respectfully.

"I want you to teach me how to cook." Shen Zhu sized up the things in the kitchen. The tools were all good stuff, but they were all good materials, the type was similar to what she saw in the Hundred Fragrance House.

"Huh?" Lu Fang thought he had misheard. Did the mistress of the house even need to cook?

"Teach me how to cook. Come." Shen Zhu repeated with a serious face.

Lu Fang quickly nodded and braced himself to teach Shen Zhu how to cook.

Only, after an afternoon had passed, it was clear that Shen Zhu's cooking skills were better than his —

Lu Fang had no idea what his wife was up to …

As the sun set in the west mountains, Shen Zhu came out of the kitchen with his neck twisted.

The moment she walked out of the small courtyard, she saw Xiao Mo sitting on a stone chair not far away from her.

This was the first time Shen Zhu had ever seen him acting so serious.

"You're done?" Xiao Mo heard her footsteps, put down the book, and looked towards her.

"You've been here?" Shen Zhu asked.

Xiao Mo nodded, "I'll bring you around, let's eat dinner later."

Shen Zhu followed behind the man, and when she walked past the stone chair, she even turned around to take a look.

Was he just sitting here reading, waiting for her?

Hmm, what kind of person is this emperor exactly? Could it be that every monarch had multiple sides?

Forget it, my life is more important. I have to find an opportunity to escape today!

When she thought about meeting Su Zongwen tonight, Ning Qing's heart ached, but she looked forward to it …
