"Elder sister, don't think too much into it. You and Xiao Mo are about to get married anyway, there's no meaning in asking any further."

Shen Zhu laughed, thinking that if they were to cultivate such a relationship after marriage, with so much time in the future, Mu Xiangsi would understand his own heart sooner or later.

"Xiao Zhuzi, I want to marry him because of you! "When I go back, I'm going to break off the engagement. At worst, I'll just say that I've stepped out of the wall …"

Shen Zhu covered her mouth and said with a frown: "Elder sister, can you not talk about Hong Xing coming out from the wall in the future? This term is not good for your reputation. Even if you don't care about the details, it doesn't mean that others are the same. "

The act of cheating was a big stain on any age, especially on women.

Mu Xiangsi took away her claws, and said with a twitch of his mouth: "Alright, I won't say anything, but after going back, I'm going to cancel the engagement. I want to play for a few more years. I still have a lot of places to go. "

She had a headache at the thought of being restrained from living as freely as before, and even having children.

"You want to marry yourself, not someone else."

Shen Zhu could only persuade him to this point.

She prayed for Xiao Mo in her heart, hoping that he would obtain the heart of a beauty as soon as possible, even if this beauty was obviously not online.

"Yeah."

Mu Xiangsi nodded, she definitely did not want anyone else to take control of her own life.

"Ling Er and I will go back first. We'll discuss this after Brother-in-law's report tomorrow."

Mu Xiangsi was afraid that Mu Qingling would be too anxious to wait, so after warning Shen Zhu for a while, he walked out of the hall and left with Mu Qingling.

The next day, after the next assembly.

When Su Zongwen returned to the World An Courtyard, he pulled Shen Zhu into the study.

"Yue Niang, I told the emperor about the Qi Kingdom, and the emperor agreed. He gave me an order in the imperial palace to go to the Qi Kingdom as an envoy. But they might not be able to bring the children with them, furthermore, Ruanruan is still young, so it will not be too late for her to return when she grows up, what do you think? "

He went alone to see the Emperor after he left for the Imperial Court, explaining his personal reasons, but he did not expect the Emperor to agree directly.

"This is very appropriate. I also feel that it is inconvenient to bring a child with us. The road is not close, and many things are unknown. If the child is sick, won't we all die of anxiety?" Let's tidy up and go inform Ling Er and the others. After that, everyone will choose a day to arrange the horses and carriages. "

Shen Zhu said as he thought about it, thinking that he should bring some specialties along with him this time. Also, he would directly arrange some simple pastries for his second brother to do, so that he could ensure Yuzhu Pavilion's daily operations.

"Then let's go tell the children first, then we can talk to the parents."

Su Zongwen pulled Shen Zhu out of the study room and saw him in the courtyard.

Su Zongwen instructed: "Chun Cao, go and carry Ruanruan here. Jingshu, Zi Yi, come over to the study room. We have something to discuss with them."

"Yes."

Chun Cao nodded.

Jingshu and Ruanruan sat on the chair and looked at each other. They didn't know why their father was so serious to call them here today.

"Ziyi, Jingshu, mother and father are going to travel far away, and it might take one or two months. Remember to listen to me when you're at home, Chun Cao will take good care of you, grandfather and grandmother are all here, you can't cry, you must obediently wait for us to return, understand?"

Shen Zhu said gently, his eyes moving back and forth between the three children, afraid that one of them would cry out loud.

However, the three children's reactions were quite calm.

"Why did you go on a long journey?"

Zi Yi asked curiously. He heard that the trouble in Mother had been solved, so shouldn't they be living in the Minister Mansion happily? Why did his parents want to go on a long journey?

"Yeah, where to?"

Jingshu agreed as she pouted. She was not in a good mood and did not want to part ways with Mother, wanting to sleep together with him.

"Mother found his own family, and wants to go home to visit them. They all miss Mother very much. Mother promises to come back as soon as possible, okay? "

Shen Zhu felt her heart ache, it was the first time that she had to leave her child for a long time, so many worries suddenly welled up in her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Is your family the Mother's parents?"

Jingshu asked in a daze. She was a little confused, obviously Mother's family was in the capital city, could it be that the capital city was so big?

Yeah, Jingshu is really smart! But they are at the Qi Kingdom, which is very far from here. If Mother wants to return, he will have to walk a very, very far road, so it will take a month or two. By the time Mother returns, Jingshu will have grown up. "

Shen Zhu reached out his hands to her, and Jingshu jumped down from the chair and ran to her side. Her small hands held onto Shen Zhu's hands, and she nodded like she understood something.

Ruanruan struggled out of her embrace and walked over shakily to hug Shen Zhu. He said slowly, "Mother, Ruanruan doesn't want you to go, he's afraid of the dark, afraid of thunder."

Ruanruan was young, so he did not dare to sleep on his own.

She was afraid of the dark, could not sleep when it rained, was often awakened by the thunder, and began to cry.

"Ruanruan, be good." Shen Zhu caressed her head and said with a face full of pain: "Mother knows Ruanruan is afraid, but Mother has to go back and see, you feel sad because you can't see Mother, but Mother will also feel sad because you can't see your own mother, don't you agree?"

Her eyes were a little red, and she wondered if Ruanruan would be alright during the time she was gone.

Ruanruan nodded, her small hands grabbing onto Shen Zhu's clothes tightly, "Then Mother, go."

She was unwilling, but she knew that missing her mother was a very uncomfortable thing to do. She did not want her mother to suffer as well.

"Mother, I will take good care of my sister. Don't worry."

Seeing that Ruanruan had agreed, Jingshu looked like a big sister.

"Alright."

Shen Zhu was very pleased.

"The two of you promised me that after I leave, you're not allowed to cry or else I won't bring you any gifts, do you understand?" She pointed at their noses and said, "Threatening."

When the duo heard that there was a gift, their eyes immediately lit up, and the slight sadness they felt earlier was swept away.

"Will there be anything good to eat? Will there be new clothes? Is there a new toy? "

Jingshu asked excitedly, while Ruanruan also nodded his head continuously.

"As long as you are obedient at home, you will have everything. If you are disobedient, not only will there be no presents, you will also be punished when I come back, understand?"

Shen Zhu smiled and looked at Su Zongwen, indicating that he should say something to scare them.

"Right, if you don't listen to me, then come back and take care of you!"

Su Zongwen pretended to be angry and Yan Zhaoge's father immediately came over.

Jingshu nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, "We will be obedient."

"Alright, let's go out and play. We have something to say to big brother."

Shen Zhu hugged the two of them and let them go out to play.

"Ziyi, you're quite talented in martial arts. Don't relax during this time. Do you understand?"

After observing for a while longer, Su Zongwen felt that Zi Yi had a talent for learning martial arts. He might really be able to become a general in the future and go onto the battlefield to kill enemies to protect his family and protect his country.

Shen Zhu did not particularly agree with this point of view. Although it was a good thing for men to learn martial arts, she selfishly hoped that Zi Yi would not walk this path in the future.

"Ziyi, where's your martial arts training? Just treat it as having a strong and healthy body." Didn't you say last time that you were going to learn how to sing plays? This teacher will be here in a few days and I've already spoken to them. But there's one thing, you said that you like it, you said that you want to learn, you can't give up just because you've suffered. "

Only now did Su Zongwen know that Zi Yi was going to sing a song. He looked at Shen Zhu in shock, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Shen Zhu.

Shen Zhu held his hand, frowned, and shook his head.

Su Zongwen pursed his lips, his face showing a trace of displeasure, and could only swallow his words, lowering his head and sulking.

He really couldn't accept a man learning to sing a song. He couldn't stand to be so bashful on the stage!
