Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 691
Although Shen Lingling knew that she might not escape death, she still had the last illusion, hoping to give birth to a son and make a contribution to save this little life.

However, what Zhou Qian said outside at this moment completely cut off her thoughts. He never thought of letting her go, and he planned to silence even the woman who gave birth to her. How could she escape with such a cruel heart? Gotta take off?
Shen Lingling's eyes were full of horror, and she slumped on the ground with her stomach in her hands.

Shen Lingling is like a trapped beast, wandering around in the house, regretting that she took a wrong step, exposing her ambition in front of Zhou Qian, and now she has nowhere to go.

Holding her big belly, she turned around in great torment until the afternoon when she was so tired that she lay on the bed and closed her eyes in despair.

"Aunt Shen, this is the stable woman invited for you." Just as she was in a daze, the door creaked open, and a ray of light came in from outside the room.

"Understood." Shen Lingling lay on the bed, did not get up to look, and responded weakly.

The one who came in was a midwife dressed as a country old woman. I don't know where Zhou Qian's people found it. Behind her was a young girl who was brought by Mrs. Wen to help her.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, they were about to lock the door outside, but Mrs. Wen hurriedly blocked the door.

"What are you doing closing the door? This room is so airtight, it's not good for adults or children."

"Not to mention anything else, if the mother can't breathe fresh air and has no strength to give birth, it's easy to go wrong."

As the child was involved, several guards looked at each other, then retreated to the gate of the courtyard to guard, leaving the door open.

"Auntie is pregnant with twins?" Wen Po walked to the bed and talked to Shen Lingling, "If you are pregnant with twins, you can't lie down like this every day, you have to get up and move around to facilitate delivery.'
"I'm tired, I don't want to move, don't bother me." Shen Lingling said impatiently.

"That's not okay. If you don't move around, you may have a difficult delivery." Wen Po insisted, "This is my first child, and there are two more in my belly. I can't take responsibility if something goes wrong." Go help Shen Lingling.

"You don't have to worry about whether you are born or not. Get out of here." Shen Lingling brushed away Mrs. Wen's hand. She was extremely desperate at the moment.

Just as I was getting irritable, a childish and extremely familiar voice sounded in my ears, "As long as Auntie listens to Grandma, you will be safe, and mother and child will be safe~~'
Shen Lingling's eyes widened suddenly when she heard this voice, her face was shocked.

"You, who are you?" Shen Lingling turned around with a face full of shock, staring at the little girl's face hard.

After a few glances, the shock turned into excitement, and the excitement turned into sadness. Tears welled up from the eyes, "Xiao, Xiaoshi." Standing in front of her was clearly her own younger brother Shen Xiaoshi. Holding his arm firmly, thousands of words flickered in his eyes, but he couldn't utter a word with his lips murmured.

"Aunt Hui, my name is Little Pomegranate." Shen Xiaoshi was dressed as a girl. At an age where his voice hadn't changed, he didn't need to pretend to sound like a little girl. He shook Shen Lingling's wrist heavily, and threw a comforting gesture The eyes seemed to tell her don't worry, I came here specially to save you.

Shen Lingling was so excited that tears filled her eyes. She also asked the guards before and knew that her family was wiped out, but the youngest brother escaped.

I never thought that this younger brother would actually dress up as a girl, stab into the prime minister's mansion with such a big thorn, and run to her side, this is really too daring!
No, no, how could he have such courage as an eleven or twelve-year-old kid? Could it be that...
Shen Lingling hurriedly turned her gaze to Wen Po who was standing by the bed, she saw that Wen Po looked like an ordinary old woman in the country, but she still sensitively saw something was wrong in her eyes.

So calm!
This is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only is it the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is also heavily guarded. It is obvious that something is wrong. She, a country midwife, should not be so calm when she sees this scene.

so.
"Auntie, get up and move around, so that the baby can be delivered properly." Shen Xiaoshi said.

"Okay, I see." Shen Lingling responded obediently, got up from the bed with the support of Mrs. Wen, and then forced herself to walk out of the house calmly.

There were two maidservants and a nanny standing outside the door watching them, no matter how many questions they had in their hearts, it was impossible to ask them.

"My aunt can't go out, just walk around in the house." A nanny blocked them in the house.

"Then don't leave, I'm tired and just want to lie down and rest." Shen Lingling turned her head and went to the bed again.

She is not stupid, her younger brother risked his life to sneak into the prime minister's mansion, he sneaked to her side to save her, how could she escape if the door couldn't get out?
Seeing this, Mrs. Wen picked up her bag and was about to leave with Shen Xiaoshi.

"This aunt is not very old, and she is the first child and twins. If she is locked in the house like this and is not allowed to go out, how will she be able to give birth?"

"Since I'm so old, I don't dare to take on this job. I'm sorry, this mother, please ask another master. Let's go, little pomegranate."

"This..." The nuns and maidservants looked at each other. This is the stable woman who was found with great difficulty. If they let her go, they would not be able to bear the responsibility, so they hurriedly sent someone to ask Zhou Qian for instructions.

Zhou Qian was discussing important matters with Wei Xuanyuan in the study, and after hearing the report, he told his subordinates to send more people to guard outside the courtyard, and agreed that Shen Lingling could walk around in the courtyard at will.

At first, when Shen Lingling was walking in the courtyard, the nuns and maidservants followed suit, and gradually relaxed.

After six or seven days like this, Shen Lingling found a chance to have a private conversation with Shen Xiaoshi.

"Xiaoshi, what's going on? Who killed my parents and elder brother? And who is going to save me?" Shen Lingling was full of doubts. They had no relatives and no reason in the capital. Who would go to the prime minister's mansion to save her?
"It was Prime Minister Zhou who sent someone to kill our whole family." A flash of hatred flashed in Shen Xiaoshi's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "I narrowly escaped death and was rescued by Brother Yonglu, and I have been staying in Prince Xuan's mansion since then. I begged His Highness Prince Xuan to save you.'
After hearing this, Shen Lingling fell into deep thought.

King Xuan belongs to King Ye. She and Concubine Ye Wang had an extremely unpleasant quarrel when they were in Shenjia Village because of her sister Shen Youyou. Why did they save themselves? Are they so kind?
Is it because I know the secret of Prime Minister Zhou?
"Xiaoshi, does His Royal Highness King Xuan know that Prime Minister Zhou killed our family?" Shen Lingling cast her inquiring gaze on Shen Xiaoshi.

Shen Xiaoshi nodded, "Prime Minister Zhou is hunting me everywhere, if I don't tell the truth, he won't protect me."

"King Xuan is not a good person either, he must have wanted to get some useful words out of my mouth for them to help us like this."

Shen Lingling's eyes turned cold, and she looked at Shen Xiaoshi with the corners of her mouth pulled, "I have a big secret here, but I won't reveal it easily." At this moment, Shen Lingling's eyes caught someone coming, and he hurriedly said, "Save your life first. , everything will be discussed after King Xuan rescues me."
