Chapter 321 Whose child is he?
Zhou Ruyuan pursed his lips bitterly. Just when he was caught in a dilemma, there was a clang and the vase not far away was broken.
A group of eunuchs and maids quickly gathered around him.
"Little master, why did you come here to play Cuju? Come on, let's go to an open place..."
"No, I just want to play here."
"Young master, this is not possible. The queen is resting inside."
When Shen Lanxi came over, she saw several eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground to comfort the children.
"Is Concubine Shu in the palace? Your Majesty asked me to come and talk to her." Shen Lanxi turned around and faced the angry child.
Then Cuju flew towards me, and Shen Lanxi waved it away with a cold face.
"You broke my Cuju. Kneel down and pick it up!"
Shen Lanxi walked over and kicked Cuju away.
"Be brave, you guys arrest her quickly!" The child jumped angrily and pointed at Shen Lanxi.
The door opened and Zhou Ruyuan came out of the room with a dark face.
"What a nonsense, take the young master down quickly!"
When the child saw that Zhou Ruyuan was angry, he was a little scared and did not dare to speak out.
Concubine Shu came out of the room with an unhappy expression.
"What's going on? Who has offended my dear grandson?"
When the child saw a familiar person, he immediately ran over and hugged Concubine Shu to complain.
"Grandma, it was her, she was a bad person, she kicked my Cuju away."
Concubine Shu faced Shen Lanxi with a straight face: "Lanxi, you are such a big person, why do you care about a child?"
Shen Lanxi did not answer her words and asked instead: "Whose child is he?"
Concubine Shu stiffened, and Zhou Ruyuan pursed her lips tightly.
Shen Lanxi: "I haven't heard that Concubine Shu gave birth to a second prince? Could it be that he was adopted from another concubine?"
Zhou Ruyuan was instantly angry. She knew it clearly, but she still asked, what kind of situation did she want to put him in?
Concubine Shu said coldly: "This is my grandson."
Shen Lanxi: "Are you going to be on the imperial plate?"
One sentence almost made Concubine Shu faint from anger.
"This is my grandson, Ruyuan's child. After you marry Ruyuan, this child will be in your name and will also be your child in the future."
Shen Lanxi sneered: "No, I can't give birth to such a big child. Does Your Majesty know that your Majesty wants to give this child a royal status?"
Concubine Shu's face turned livid with anger.
"Even if your name is not recorded, he is still Ruyuan's child. He is of royal blood, and he will definitely be on the imperial plate in the future."
Shen Lanxi said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me whether he can get on the imperial plate or not, and it has nothing to do with me."
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth angrily: "Shen Lanxi, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Zhou Ruyuan's face was also livid. This time, his father spoke out, which would also serve as a safeguard for Shen Lanxi in the future. Shen Lanxi dared to contradict her mother and concubine like this. Is she really not afraid of being punished?
"Shen Lanxi, there is a limit to my patience with you." Zhou Ruyuan said with a cold face.
Shen Lanxi looked at Zhou Ruyuan with a half-smile: "I have already told your Majesty what we talked about before. I believe that your Majesty will call you over in a short while."
Zhou Ruyuan thought of the conditions she had offered before, and looked at Shen Lanxi with a look that made him want to eat someone.
"I have already met the empress. I have completed the task assigned by Your Majesty. I am busy with official business, so I won't stay any longer!" Shen Lanxi turned around and left. He walked to the place where the Cuju was thrown and crushed it flat with his kick.
Heartbreaking cries suddenly sounded, and Shen Lanxi left with an arrogant smile.
Concubine Shu's chest kept rising and falling with anger: "You are so outrageous, she is simply too arrogant. Someone, stop her for me, I will deal with this disrespectful thing!"
Shen Lanxi looked coldly at the guards who rushed up. The guards all stopped five meters away and stopped coming forward.
Zhou Ruyuan gritted his teeth and roared: "Let her go!"
Concubine Shu looked at her son in disbelief. Previously, she ruined her reputation because of Bai Qingling and had His Majesty neglect her for two years. Now, because of Shen Lanxi, she did not even care about the face of her mother-in-law.
Who is she planning so hard for? Shen Lanxi contradicted her like this, how could this biological son be let go so easily?
"Mother concubine, she has a token given to her by her father on her waist!" Zhou Ruyuan explained coldly with a cold face.
Concubine Shu's head suddenly cleared up. She had been so angry just now. It's all Shen Lanxi's fault for contradicting her mother-in-law and not even giving her the dignity of a man. Let's see how she will deal with her when His Majesty's decree of marriage is issued.
"Ruyuan, Concubine Mother is also confused. What was the condition she mentioned just now?" Concubine Shu regained her shrewd look and looked at her son without blinking.

Zhou Ruyuan froze.
……
Shen Lanxi did not go to court for three days in a row, and the courtiers talked about it in private.
"It seems that His Majesty is trying to bring order to the chaos. It is absurd for a woman to go to court!"
"The Wei Jiajun case has been settled, and the Shen family is the biggest culprit. Now is the time for Shen Lanxi to retire and take care of her husband and children."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. Women should abide by the three obediences and the four virtues. From now on, they should stay in the back house and stay out of the public eye."
The news that Shen Lanxi changed from an official to a white lady spread like wildfire.
Today, Shen Yuantang took his sisters to attend the birthday banquet of Miss Jining Houfu. They were arranged in secret and overtly. Shen Yuantang was angry and annoyed. He held back his tears and ran back alone.
After Mrs. Shen heard about it, she immediately called Shen Yuantang.
"What a wonderful birthday party, why did you come back by yourself?"
Shen Yuantang felt angry and aggrieved in her heart. Now when she saw her grandmother who loved her, she said it all.
"Grandma, they secretly and openly laugh at the fact that our girls are tough, disrespectful of etiquette, and do not follow the three obediences and four virtues."
Mrs. Shen's face suddenly turned dark.
"Who said that? If this spreads out, how will the girls in the family who are getting married think of each other?"
Shen Yuantang shed tears of grievance: "They said in a weird way that my eldest sister showed up on the battlefield, and that the girls in our family were also among the men. They also said that during the exile, both men and women lived together, and they also said... ”
Mrs. Shen's face was so gloomy that it was dripping with water.
This is no longer just the little girls saying slanderous words, but they have a grudge against their family and want to destroy the Shen family.
"Where's your eldest sister?"
Shen Yuantang covered his face and shook his head: "I don't know. They all said that the eldest sister no longer has an official status. She was held accountable by His Majesty and is shutting up at home to think about her mistakes."
Mrs. Shen said angrily: "They are talking nonsense. They are just jealous and jealous that our Shen family is back again, and they don't dare to do anything to us openly, so they say these harsh words."
Doesn’t grandma dislike the eldest sister the most? Why do you want to help big sister to speak?
Shen Yuantang thought of the embarrassing scene in the Hou Mansion, and felt disgraced and ashamed.
"Grandma, will Your Majesty really settle the scores and hold my eldest sister accountable for joining the army?"
