Ming Chengjun quickly flashed a strange look in his eyes when he heard the Noble Consort Su's question.

He knew that the empress had a lot of dissatisfaction towards the Noble Consort Su, and in addition to the fact that he had neglected the Noble Consort Su all these years, the Noble Consort Su had suffered a lot of grievances and lived his days on tenterhooks.

Ming Chengjun looked at her delicate appearance and could not help but feel some heartache.

He put a little strength into his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He promised in a deep voice, ”I will definitely arrange a good child's future.”

Noble Consort Su sighed lightly, pretending to be unconscious as he muttered to himself. ”I only hope that our second child can continue to live well …”

Nestling in Ming Chengjun's embrace, Noble Consort Su couldn't help but think of her own eldest son.

Back then, when she was pregnant with her child, she was full of joy. Back then, her Holy Pet was perfect.

At the same time, the Su Family that should have been her shield was schemed against, causing the emperor to be enraged, and he was deposed to a remote place. After that, she completely lost her favor and was sent to the cold palace.

So soon after she gave birth to her child, she was forced to separate from her mother.

Now, although she had already found her eldest son, the two of them were still unable to recognize each other. Her son would call her aunt every day when he saw her. He didn't even know that he was his birth mother …

When Noble Consort Su thought about this, he immediately felt wronged. As he thought about it, tears unconsciously flowed down his cheeks.

”My beloved concubine has suffered many grievances over the years. I know that I will not let you suffer so much in the future.” Ming Chengjun patted her back to comfort her.

A cool breeze welcomed them at the pavilion in the imperial garden. Ming Chengjun dropped his monarch attitude and, like a husband from a normal family, comforted the sad Noble Consort Su in a low voice.

Minister Mansion

”Sister-in-law.”

The moment Shen Zhu stepped out of the courtyard, she heard someone calling her from behind. She stopped in her tracks, and turned around to see Ah Qiu not too far away, waving at her.

”Sister-in-law, are you going out?” Seeing Shen Zhu stop, the Ah Qiu walked over from the corridor.

”I'm going to the shop.” Shen Zhu nodded his head, and explained: ”Boss Zhou sent a man to deliver a message to me, saying that the shop is more or less finished, and told me to come over to take a look when I have time.”

Hearing that, Ah Qiu immediately took two steps forward, affectionately grabbed her arm, and said with a fawning smile: ”Sister-in-law, why don't you bring me along as well? We have a companion for the two of us! ”

”There are so many people on the street, and you're carrying a body …”

Before Shen Zhu could even finish his words, he was immediately cut off by the Ah Qiu, ”Sister-in-law, ever since I became pregnant, Yixuan refused to let me go anywhere, and even sent several servant girls after me when I left the courtyard. Father and Mother also exempted me from the daily rest of the time and allowed me to recuperate in peace.

Ah Qiu pulled Shen Zhu's arm and looked at her pitifully.

”We'll just bring two more maidservants, it'll be fine!” Furthermore, I am not someone who is crushed by mud, how could I be so pampered? ” Ah Qiu tried his best to persuade her, ”Sister-in-law, bring me along!”

Seeing that she was really panicking at home, Shen Zhu agreed.

She sent someone to the Ah Qiu Courtyard to speak with Su Yixuan, then called for two more maidservants before bringing the Ah Qiu out with her.

When the two arrived at Yuzhu Pavilion, Manager Li was already waiting at the door.

”Lady Shen.”

Manager Li immediately smiled and greeted Shen Zhu when he saw her.

”Manager Li.” Shen Zhu nodded.
