The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 227 Nothing is a good thing
Although Bai Zhi spoke calmly for the secret guard Shen Changyan, she actually had no confidence in her heart.

Time passed minute by minute, the sky gradually darkened, and it was time to turn on the lamp.

Yintan lit the red candle and laughed softly: "It's so late to go to the room for dinner today? Sister Suzhu hasn't sent anyone to invite you yet."

In order to take care of Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan's diet, Mrs. Shen suggested that they go to the upper room to eat dinner with her and the Duke as much as possible. She would cook. When the meal was ready, Su Zhu called them over to eat.

Bai Zhi just put down the book, and accidentally saw that the cover was turned upside down, and then realized that she had been reading the book upside down for a long time, and couldn't help laughing secretly that she was indeed a talent, and her mind wandering was too professional.

She stretched, sat up with the opportunity, and sighed: "I haven't tried this, it's dark?"

Shen Changyan exclaimed: "It's dark? Why is there no movement?"

With that said, he stood up and walked to the door to look around.

Yin Tan was puzzled, looked at Bai Zhi, and asked tentatively: "Miss, what happened?"

Bai Zhi smiled at her: "It's okay."

As she said that, she walked up to Shen Changyan, and said with a low laugh, "Is it a good thing if nothing happens? Maybe it's just thunder. Let's go to the room and have a look. If the meal isn't ready, I'll help."

Shen Changyan nodded, thinking that what she said made sense, no matter what was in the upper room or at the gate of the house, he would naturally report it in time.

"Your Majesty, Madam, please come to the upper room for dinner."

The two were about to go out, but Su Zhu came and laughed loudly.

Bai Zhi was in an inexplicable mood, and it seemed that nothing was wrong, so she hurriedly replied, "We're about to go now."

On the way to the bedroom, Bai Zhi asked Su Zhu about Mrs. Shen's condition.

Su Zhu told her that apart from the gloomy expression on Madam's face, there was nothing wrong with it.

These words made Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan feel more at ease.

When the two came to the upper room, Mrs. Shen was already waiting at the door, and she waved and smiled at them, "Come on, I made your favorite dish tonight, so it's late, so you must eat more."

Bai Zhi saw that there was no abnormality in her mood, and happily responded: "Madam, you have worked hard, I just wait for this meal every day."

Mrs. Shen took her arm affectionately, and said with a sneer: "Silly boy, don't do this. Breakfast and lunch are also very important, and you have to eat well. Or, come over for breakfast and lunch too, just to accompany me..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Shen Changyan.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Let's go in and eat quickly. Is my father back? We'll talk about it later during breakfast and lunch."

Mrs. Shen didn't insist either, she stretched out her hand and slapped him, humming, "I just know how to eat."

While talking, the three of them entered the hall.

Shen Guogong was already sitting at the table and waiting.

Seeing the three of them coming in together, he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Madam, you've worked hard. I've been cooking until now. If I knew you didn't cook, I'll go over and help you."

Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan couldn't help but look at each other. Only then did they understand that Mrs. Shen had not met Duke Shen yet. She had been working in the kitchen and then went to the door to wait for them. It was obvious that she did not want to meet her husband alone. This showed that she did not want to meet her husband alone. It's not as indifferent as it seems.

Mrs. Shen said seriously: "How can the Duke enter the kitchen? That's not where a man should go."

These words were already in an unusual tone, but Shen Guogong didn't understand the situation, so he only felt that something was wrong but didn't see anything unusual. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Our family is different from other families, and we don't pay attention to those."

Mrs. Shen smiled faintly and asked, "What's the difference?"

Only then did Duke Shen realize that his wife was in a bad mood and her words were sarcastic, so he hurriedly asked: "Madam, what did I do wrong? I offended you. Why is there something wrong with what I said today?"

"What's wrong? Did you offend me?" Mrs. Shen asked back.

Shen Guogong was stopped by the question and scratched his head, not knowing how to resolve it.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over: "Madam must be preparing our favorite meals, and she is tired of cooking in the kitchen. Let's hurry up and have dinner. It's been a long time since I've been lighting the lamp."

Shen Changyan also echoed: "That's right, I'm starving."

Bai Zhi took Mrs. Shen's arm and sat down together.

Mrs. Shen was slightly afraid of patting her hand, and said with a kind smile: "Zhi'er, I'm not tired. Taking care of you and Chang Yan is my happiest thing. As long as you are safe, I will be relieved no matter what."

As she spoke, she choked up a little.

This is really a bit sad.

Duke Shen just felt that Mrs. Shen's mood was a little strange today, so he didn't think much about it, but joked: "Madam, why are you without me? Didn't you say you took care of me before..."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Shen interrupted him: "Let's eat, or the food will be cold and not tasty."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, put it in the Baizhi bowl, and said with a smile: "Zhi'er, you are still too thin, you should eat more, women must treat themselves kindly."

Once again, there is something in the words.

No matter how stupid Shen Guogong was, he could hear it naturally. He stared at Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen didn't meet his gaze, she just served Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan some food, avoiding him intentionally.

He has never received such a cold reception, and there is no longer the tacit understanding and warmth of the husband and wife at the previous dinner table.

He couldn't help but asked: "Madam, something is wrong with you today. What happened?"

Madam Shen didn't look at him, and replied indifferently: "You don't even know what's going on, how could something happen?"

Shen Changyan was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so he hurriedly said to Shen Guogong: "Dad, my mother is panicking. She is afraid that after I get married, I will marry a wife and forget about my mother. But she has forgotten something important. Otherwise, she will definitely There will be no such worry about gains and losses.”

Shen Guogong asked in confusion: "What important thing did you forget?"

Madam Shen also looked at him, waiting for an answer.

Shen Changyan pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "My mother is not marrying a daughter-in-law. She is clearly recruiting a daughter. She treats Zhi'er ten thousand times better than she treats me. Since Zhi'er came, my biological son Just stand aside.”

This sentence made Mrs. Shen laugh again. She shook her head and said: "Zhang Yan, you are really promising, competing with your wife for favor."

Shen Guogong echoed flatteringly: "Ma'am is right, in a long way, don't compete with Zhi'er for favor, but spoil her more."

Although Mrs. Shen felt estranged from Shen Guogong in her heart, she deliberately alienated him.

But with Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan's efforts to reconcile, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still warm and lively.

"Clap clap..."

Suddenly there was a burst of applause from the roof.

The four of them were startled and looked up at the sound at the same time.

I saw a well-dressed lady sitting on the beam, clapping her hands and applauding.

"As expected of Duke Shen's family banquet, tsk tsk, this atmosphere is simply enviable... Sigh."
