The Su Family was stunned on the spot, and the fingers placed by their sides slightly trembled. "You … What do you want to say? "

"The Second Prince returned on the fifteenth of the seventh month. Auntie, this is Ghost Festival." Shen Ninghua's voice was not loud, but it stirred waves in the Su Clan's hearts.

Hearing Shen Ning Hua's cold voice, Su Shi trembled, "Are you saying that this day …. "Impossible, the empress doesn't have the guts."

"I didn't believe it either, but as a mother, it's better … Aunt should be able to understand. " Shen Ninghua slightly sighed, "I just don't want Auntie to regret it after what has happened." I've humiliated the Zhao Family this time. They definitely won't let this go. When my mother died, my father ignored me. I was alone and had nothing to worry about. But my aunt is different, I feel that my aunt has helped me many times, so I remind you a bit. If Aunt doesn't believe me, just take it as me babbling nonsense. "

The Su Family was silent for a long time. Let me think about it... "

Shen Ninghua smiled. "Auntie, don't worry so much. I might be overthinking things as well." "Bi Zhu, send Aunt back."

"Yes, miss."

After sending off the lost soul of the Su Clan, the expression on Shen Ninghua's face slowly faded away. Bai Yu switched out the cold tea at her side. "Are you worried about Second Madam?"

"Although Second Aunt's personality is straightforward, she is not a scheming person. Naturally, she can understand how powerful this is. "

"In that case, what is there for Miss to worry about?"

Shen Ninghua frowned. "What do you think of Chu Junyi?"

Bai Yu was stunned. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "This servant has only met Young Master Chu twice. I just feel that he seems to be a bit carefree and takes care of Miss Chu as well."

Shen Ninghua shook her head and said, "It's fine now. Go and take a look. The things that the Zhao Family sent over are all here. If they're all here, I'll brew the wine today."

Hong Ling said, "Is Miss really going to brew wine for Miss Biao?" Although that Zhao Ruyun knelt down to apologize, she still couldn't swallow her anger. What if she waited until she recovered before finding trouble with the Young Miss?

"Since I agreed to it, I naturally should do it." Once I'm done brewing, send the wine over to the Zhao Family for your aunt to personally investigate. If there's no problems, come back later. "I must tell Aunt and Cousin that this wine must last for a full 14 days. If you don't want it …"

"Hehe, yes miss, rest assured, I will definitely bring you along with me." Hong Ling pursed her lips and smiled. She remembered that if she didn't put the wine away, it would have some use.

In her previous life, the Second Prince had also returned on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. She remembered this day when the entire capital was filled with people, and everyone had to kneel down and exclaim to the Second Prince. It was as if overnight, the Second Prince's name had spread out, and no one could not praise him for his bravery and brilliance. The Second Prince had reaped a large number of supporters, but the Emperor had only bestowed him with a few pieces of gold, silver, and jewelry.

As a monarch, he hated people who had too high of a reputation. Even if that person was his own son! The Crown Prince being able to suppress the Second Prince later on had something to do with this matter.

"He's still too young." Shen Ninghua mumbled in a low voice, then stood up to continue copying the books on the desk.

Two days later, the people came to the streets. The second prince's return had caused some ripples. The Su Clan and Shen Ninghua sat on the second floor of the Moon Pavilion. Through the window, they could see the many layers of people gathered outside. When they saw a youth in armor, the Su Clan's eyes suddenly turned red, "It's Hua Er!"

Shen Ninghua sized up the youngster and said, "My cousin is much darker than before, but he has become stronger. Aunt can rest easy now. "

Su Shi gazed at her. "Ning Hua, was what you said before true?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Auntie, you don't have to care."

Hearing her words, the worry in the Su Clan's eyes did not lessen. "Husband and I only have this one child. "Xiao Hua, when your mother risked her life to give birth to you, I can understand her feelings. If it was me, I would have made the same choice."

Shen Ninghua stopped pointing and said, "Aunt is right."

"Let's not beat around the bush, Xiao Hua, I can feel your enmity towards the Madam and the Shen family, and I am willing to be your ally. However, there is one condition, and that is that no mishap should happen to my Second House."

"I have never avenged the kindness that my aunt has shown me."

Seeing Shen Ninghua's smiling eyes, the Su Clan's hanging heart slowly returned to its original place. If it was the past, she would definitely not believe that a fourteen year old girl could be trusted. But after seeing the First Wife frame her and being forced to hand over so many things, seeing Zhao Ruyun being forced to kneel and admit his wrongs by Lady Zhang, she suddenly realized that this little girl was different. As long as her room was safe, the Shen family wouldn't have anything to do with her.

"Second Prince, a thousand years!"

"Your Highness is so lucky!"

"..."

Downstairs, the people were kneeling on the ground. The excited shouts were deafening.

The Su Clan's expression was slightly proud. "The Second Prince has really accomplished a great merit this time. Even the people were especially grateful to him. For Hua'er to be able to receive this experience is also not bad. " As a mother, seeing her children urinate at the border, she felt extremely pained and proud. That contradictory feeling made her momentarily at a loss as to how to express it.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head to drink her tea. "It's true that the people are excited, but they seem to be a little too excited."

The Su Clan was stunned and after thinking about it carefully, their faces suddenly turned pale. "Ning Hua, you're saying that these people …"

"Aunt should be able to think of it. After all, at that time when General Su led his men to defeat the Great Yue State, he handed over the military authority to return home. The Emperor had repeatedly urged General Su to stay, but General Su had never compromised in the end, and in the end, the Emperor had also taken back the Emperor's reward, allowing General Su to remain in the capital.

The Su Clan's complexion became increasingly pale. How could she not understand? How could those in power allow others to snore beside their beds? If his grandfather had not protected himself, how could he have the glory of the Su Clan?

"Then what should we do now? Hua Er shouldn't be implicated. After all, he's so young …" There must be someone among the commoners who was trying to boost the prestige of the Second Prince.

Shen Ninghua passed the cup of tea to the Su Clan member. Seeing that her expression had improved, she spoke up, "Your Imperial Majesty is a wise man, so it's natural that you wouldn't implicate your cousin. But as a member of the Second Prince's team, even if he's not punished, his career in the future will still be much more difficult." Back then, the reason the First Wife was able to suppress the Second Branch and control the entire Shen family, it was all because of Shen Xuanhua's silence. Now that the Su Clan was doing their best to help her, she would naturally give some advice.

The Su Clan's gaze turned cold as they looked downstairs once again. The crown prince had already come out with an official from the Ministry of Rites to welcome them.

Dressed in bright yellow Crown Prince attire, Baili Jinyi was exceptionally handsome, as if he was born to be the king. Even from such a distance, Shen Ninghua could still feel the noble aura emanating from him.

The Second Prince, on the other hand, was clad in armor. Compared to the gentle and noble Crown Prince, he was more like a valiant general.

The entire welcoming ceremony reached a high point when the crown prince toasted the second prince. Millions of citizens knelt on the ground and shouted loudly. The second prince raised his wine jar and finished it in one gulp.

Shen Ninghua smiled as she looked down the stairs, "Auntie, quickly go back and prepare. Cousin is still young, so he probably doesn't need to enter the palace. By now, he should be returning home as soon as possible."

"Alright, then I'll go back first." The Su Clan stood up and took two steps, then suddenly turned around as if they had made some sort of decision. "Ning Hua, if you can keep your promise, my Second House will support you forever, no matter what you do!"

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "Many thanks, Aunt. I definitely won't let you down." If the Su Clan could really do as she said, then she wouldn't mind protecting a few more people.

After looking at the crown prince's polite behavior for a while, the smile on Shen Ninghua's face became even wider. "Bai Yu, let's go back."

"What about Bai Yu and the others?"

"I'll get someone to invite the ladies down for a cup of tea. Don't worry, we'll send her back later with not a single strand of hair missing." As he spoke, Chu Junyi took a seat across from Shen Ninghua.

"Why isn't Young Master Chu joining in the fun? I heard that the relationship between the Second Prince and the Xiao family is quite good." The Second Prince's mother's family had some relationship with the Xiao family, which was why he was able to gain the attention of the Emperor. When his brothers didn't have much power, they would be able to lead troops into battle. Unfortunately, this relationship wasn't stable and the Xiao family was only loyal to the imperial power. When the Second Prince fell, although they didn't add insult to injury, they didn't add fuel to the fire.

"Isn't there an ancient saying that goes' a thousand miles is a thousand miles'? "Second Prince's mother, esteemed Empress Lan, may be a cousin of the Xiao family, but …" Before Chu Junyi could finish her sentence, she stopped herself. Shen Ninghua naturally understood the meaning behind her words.

"This momentum is truly vast, I'm afraid even the Emperor's personal command can't compare to it."

Chu Junyi's eyes lit up. "The young miss really has nothing to hide from me. Aren't you afraid of a crime?"

Shen Ninghua turned around and asked, "What did I say?"

"You …" Chu Junyi snickered. "That's true. They're all my men, and no word of your words will spread. I have no proof of what you've said either. The punishment isn't easy."

Shen Ninghua smiled without saying a word, but in his heart, his thoughts raced. She could clearly see that Chu Junyi had hidden it well, but when she looked at the crown prince and the second prince, her eyes were filled with contempt and coldness. This caused one to ponder deeply about the matter.

Chu Junyi looked down the stairs for a moment, and seeing that there was nothing else to see, she ignored him. "Do you like the Night Pearls I gave you last time?"

"Of course I like it. However, since you didn't ask for a repayment, I can't not give it back." It's my grandmother's birthday in a few days, are you coming? "

"You want to invite me to visit your birthday?" Although the Xiao family had a title and a title, he also had a name. He was not interested in celebrating the birthday of a woman in the backyard.

"No, please come to the play." Shen Ninghua's eyes shone with resplendent light. Chu Junyi stared at him blankly before regaining her senses.

"No one dares to disobey Eldest Miss's invitation."
