Chapter 140 This matter is too strange
The next day, at Huaxi Garden, Ren Jingzhi and Shen Yiran, who had just finished breakfast, were enjoying the tranquility of the early morning.
Suddenly, a servant came hurriedly to report that the palace had sent someone to take Ren Jingzhi into the palace, saying that he was to participate in the discussion of state affairs.
When the two heard the news, they were all in disbelief. Ever since Ren Jingzhi was poisoned by the wine, his body had been weak and he had not attended court for a long time.
Although he now has the title of Crown Prince, it is just an empty title and he has no real power.
At the beginning, the emperor knew that he would not live long, so in order to comfort the prime minister, he made an exception and appointed him as the crown prince. Apart from rewarding him with the mansion in Huaxiyuan, he also gave him a little more salary, but he had no real power at all.
They really couldn't understand why he was suddenly ordered to participate in the discussion of state affairs today?
Ren Jingzhi frowned slightly, thinking about the reason in his heart. Shen Yiran was also full of doubts. She gently held Ren Jingzhi's hand and said worriedly: "This matter is too strange, is there any conspiracy?"
Ren Jingzhi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Now we can only take it one step at a time. Let's go into the palace first to see the situation first."
They knew that the situation in the palace was ever-changing, and if they were not careful, they might fall into an irretrievable situation. But the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so Ren Jingzhi could only bite the bullet and prepare to enter the palace to face the unknown situation.
"Husband, please be careful." Shen Yiran said with a worried look on her face.
"Ranran, don't worry, your husband will be fine." After saying that, Lin Bei pushed Ren Jingzhi outside.
Looking at Ren Jingzhi's departing back, Shen Yiran always felt a little uneasy in her heart. She kept comforting herself, thinking that she must be thinking too much.
Ren Jingzhi's body has recovered now, and ordinary people really can't hurt him. Thinking of this, Shen Yiran was relieved a little.
After a while, Shen Yiran watched the morning sunlight gently shining on the small flowers in the yard. Those small flowers looked so charming and dazzling, like a beautiful painting.
She couldn't help but think of the "mysterious space" she opened yesterday and the unknown little green sprouts on the farm. Suddenly, her curiosity was aroused and she immediately decided to go in and take a look.
Just as Shen Yiran was about to slip into the space, Yun'er hurried in, "Miss, this is a letter from Han Hai."
Shen Yiran took the letter and unfolded it gently. It read: "Sister, father has agreed to take back mother's dowry. Please return home as soon as you see this letter. From my eldest brother."
After reading the letter, Shen Yiran's face lit up with a brilliant smile. She sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that her elder brother would be so efficient, which was really admirable.
"Yun'er, I need to go back to the Shen residence." After saying that, Shen Yiran stood up and walked out. Yun'er hurriedly followed and said, "Miss, I will go with you."
"You should stay and take care of Banxia. I went to see her last night. Although she has recovered well, it would be more reassuring to have someone watching over her."
"But Master has told you not to leave the house alone."
Shen Yiran pretended to be angry and said, "You listen to him instead of me now? You have changed your master."
"Miss, I'm actually worried about you going back to the mansion alone. I'm afraid Aunt Lan will make things difficult for you again." Yun'er's worried look warmed Shen Yiran's heart.
"Don't worry, you have to believe in your young lady's ability, it's okay."
"Well, be careful then, young lady."
Shen Yiran said "hmm" and walked out the door.
Yun'er also turned and walked towards the bedroom. She secretly hoped that Banxia would recover soon so that she could accompany the young lady.
"Miss Yun'er, Miss Yun'er..." Lin Nan's voice came at this time. She turned around and asked, "Brother Lin Nan, is there something wrong?"
"The Crown Prince's Consort asked you to hurry to the entrance of Huaxi Garden. I'll just watch over Miss Banxia."
"Then thank you for taking care of Sister Banxia." After saying that, Yun'er hurried out.
At this moment, Banxia's door creaked open.
Seeing this, Lin Nan immediately stepped forward, supported Banxia, and said softly, "Miss Banxia, be careful. I will help you walk in the yard."
"I can do it myself, Lin Nan." Banxia wanted to refuse and tried to pull back Lin Nan's arm.
"I am here to take care of you on the orders of the Crown Prince's Consort. Whether you accept it or not, you must accept it." Lin Nan said seriously.
Banxia burst out laughing when she heard this. She thought to herself, this fool, he obviously cares about her, but the words he said were cold and heartless.
When Lin Nan saw her smile, he instantly felt that Banxia at this moment was much cuter than when she beat him up in Lanyue Tower that day.
A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and that smile was as warm and bright as the spring sun.
Lin Nan carefully supported Banxia, and they walked slowly towards the yard step by step. The sunlight shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of warm glow.
At this time, Yun'er was sitting in the carriage, and asked in confusion: "Miss, why did you change your mind again? Didn't you not allow Yun'er to go back to the Shen Mansion with you before?"
Shen Yiran smiled slightly and said, "As soon as I walked out the door, Lin Nan insisted on following me, saying that your uncle asked him to protect me.
I was thinking, since someone has to follow, why not let you come, so you can meet your mother."
When Yun'er heard this, her eyes slightly reddened. She hugged Shen Yiran's arm tightly and said coquettishly: "I know that the young lady treats me the best."
After a while, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of Shen's house. Shen Yiran turned to the driver and said, "You go back first."
Then, the master and servant walked into the mansion with brisk steps, and then went straight to Shen Yunyu's yard.
As soon as she arrived at the gate, Yun'er couldn't contain her excitement and shouted, "Mom! We're back."
Aunt Rong, who was about to enter the main hall, turned around immediately after hearing the call. The moment she saw Yun'er, her face was instantly filled with joy.
However, when her eyes moved to the pretty girl beside her, Rong Da Niang was puzzled and turned to Yun Er and asked, "Who is this girl?"
Yun'er just smiled without saying a word, with a sly smile on her face.
Shen Yiran gave Yun'er a helpless look, then smiled faintly at Aunt Rong and said softly, "Aunt Rong, I'm Ranran!"
Aunt Rong's eyes widened in disbelief. She looked Shen Yiran up and down carefully, as if she were looking at a stranger.
The girl who was fat and ugly in my memory has now become so pretty and slim. Aunt Rong opened her mouth and it took her a long time to find her voice: "Young Miss? You... Are you really the young lady? This change is too big! I can't recognize you."
Aunt Rong took a few steps closer, stretched out her slightly trembling hand, and gently touched Shen Yiran's sleeve, as if to confirm that the person in front of her was not an illusion.
"This is incredible, Ranran, how did you become so... so different?" Aunt Rong's eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.
