"Sister Wan, what kind of disease does my nephew have? How come he collapses at the slightest breeze after so many years?"

Mrs. Ru and her entourage came to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion after the banquet was over.

Shen Ning, the only son of the Shen family, followed Mrs. Ru to the capital. Hearing the lively hawking outside, he curiously opened the curtain.

The wind in the early summer evening in the capital was slightly cool. People with normal health would not feel the coolness at all. But Shen Ning was different from others. She fell down as soon as she was blown by the wind in the capital.

Little Li saw Shen Ning wrapped in a thick cloak being carried into the room by a servant.

When you get to the room, immediately close the window and door

Little Li caught a glimpse of a pale face among the quilts on the bed.

Shen Ning's coughing sound was heard as she was about to die. Mrs. Ru and the doctor were so busy that Shen Ning's coughing didn't stop until it was time to light the lamp.

This was the first time for Xiao Li to see Shen Ning.

In the past, I only heard that he was sick and could not breathe, and I thought it was an exaggeration. But now I saw that Shen Ning was weaker than expected.

As the matron of the Zhenguo Palace, it was impossible for her not to take care of Shen Ning. Since Mrs. Ru was her cousin, and Shen Ning was the daughter of the original Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Ru about Shen Ning's condition when she inquired about it. It's relatively straightforward.

"He was born in the womb, and he sought medical advice for his illness. He almost lost all his family wealth over the years." Mrs. Ru's eyes were filled with sadness.

"I came to the capital this time to seek a chance for his illness." Mrs. Ru sighed.

Seeing the sadness on her cousin's face, Xiao Li couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "After all these years, you can be considered worthy of the Shen family."

Although Xiao Li didn't like the fact that her cousin had caused trouble in Huaicheng because she wanted to celebrate Shen Ning's birthday, the Duke of Zhen had to intervene to settle the matter.

But I sympathize with her for spending so many years guarding the only son of the Shen family.

She didn't understand why her cousin had to marry into the Shen family as a concubine. No matter how nice the lady said, she was still a concubine.

Obviously she had many choices at the beginning.

Although the uncle made a mistake and was exiled at that time, the Duke of Zhen had already gained momentum and no other members of the Li family were implicated. Even the female relatives of the uncle's family were saved.

Moreover, her aunt liked her more than herself. As long as she was willing, the current Duke of Zhenguo's wife might be hers.

"He has no father or mother. I can't abandon him. And I am a member of the Shen family. Naturally, I am responsible for the only bloodline of the Shen family." Mrs. Ru said calmly.

"Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will keep the only bloodline of the Shen family."

Little Li was convinced that her cousin came to the capital to seek medical advice for Shen Ning.

It is said that a skilled doctor has been found. In order to give Shen Ning a chance to survive, the cousin even sold off the Shen family's vast wealth and business.

"Sister Wan, does my nephew need someone to accompany him now? My aunt is waiting for you."

Little Li looked behind the screen shelf and saw that it was already smoky. She felt sympathy for Shen Ning in her heart.

A child who is less than ten years old has suffered such a big crime.

"It's okay. Let's go, I'll go pay my respects to my aunt."

Madam Ru ordered her servants to take good care of Shen Ning and followed Xiao Li to the old lady's yard.

"aunt."

Mrs. Ru came to the old lady and shouted with an expression, and the old lady stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Ru's hand.

"Wan'er, thank you for your hard work."

When Mrs. Ru heard this, she burst into tears.

Xiao Li quickly persuaded her, thinking that her cousin had not seen her aunt for a long time.

In fact, the old lady meant something when she said "Thank you for your hard work". Only the two of them knew why the lady was crying.

Soon, Mr. Tong also came up to comfort him.

The old lady took Mrs. Ru's hand and sat down, asking about the situation on the road, and Mrs. Ru answered her questions one by one.

"You are all alone, so just stay at home."

During the conversation, the old lady ordered Mrs. Ru to stay at home, and asked Mrs. Li to tell her mother-in-law, maids and servants not to neglect Mrs. Ru. Little Li nodded in agreement.

The old lady asked about Shen Ning's condition, asking about everything from what medicine to take to what time to take the medicine.

Little Li was quite surprised. The old lady always scolded Shen Junshan for being a short-lived ghost who tricked Wan'er, so why did she care so much about Shen Junshan's son Shen Ning.

Normally, she didn't care that much about her only grandson, Zhen Ruocheng.

Xiao Li also answered seriously.

"I hope his disease can be cured." The old lady sighed, "Your hard work is not in vain."

If Madam lowered her head, her eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her face, little Li couldn't see clearly her cousin's expression.

She always felt that her mother-in-law, aunt, and cousin were playing riddles.

He was playing riddles that she couldn't figure out.

"By the way, I want to confirm something for you." The old lady said.

If the lady raises her eyes, it means she is listening.

"A few years ago, you found a family and said that their daughter was lucky and wanted to bring her in to celebrate Brother Ning's birthday." The old lady said, "Is that family's surname Bai?"

Mrs. Ru nodded and said, "Yes, it's in the Nanguan Mountain area. I heard that this year's top scorer in a new subject comes from their family."

Mrs. Ru was shocked that the Bai family had a champion.

If this family knew each other and could marry the Shen family, the number one scholar at this time would have been drawn to King Kang's camp.

Unexpectedly, someone intervened in the middle.

"Did you know that their whole family has arrived in the capital?" the old lady asked.

Madam Ru didn’t know this.

Ever since the Nabai family's lucky girl failed and her family has been in misfortune, if Mrs. Ru believed that lucky girls would make people unlucky, she would not dare to pay attention to the Bai family.

"Aunt, I don't know what this family is doing." Mrs. Ru said.

"Do you know who the little lucky girl's mother is?" the old lady asked.

Mrs. Ru shook her head.

"It's the daughter of the second wife of the Zhen family, Zhen Fu."

"is her?"

Mrs. Ru looked in disbelief and was extremely shocked.

"Yes, it's Zhen Fu." The old lady emphasized again.

Madam Ru's face quickly returned to calm.

Zhen Fu, the daughter of a wealthy family who made her jealous.

Why is it that Zhen Fu was born with fine clothes and good food, but as the daughter of a small family, she followed her cousin to the Zhen Mansion to catch the autumn breeze.

She hated Zhen Fu for gently rescuing her, and hated Zhen Fu for casually giving her the big sweater and clothes.

If it weren't for the difficulty in making a living at home, why would she want to please Zhen Fu? She hated herself for calling her Sister Fu in front of Zhen Fu in order to gain Zhen Fu's favor.

When the second room of the Zhen family was destroyed, she was happier than anyone else.

At a young age, she saw Zhen Fu shivering in the dirty snow, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She even learned about the tragic death of Zhen Fu's mother from her aunt, and immediately ran to Zhen Fu to tell her the news.

"Your mother was wrapped in a torn mat and thrown into a mass grave outside the city."

She stood proudly in front of Zhen Fu at that time, with a look of compassion on her face but a secret joy in her heart.

Seeing Zhen Fu's face twisted in pain, she even burst into a smile.
