After arriving at the General's Mansion, Song Ziyu also followed Shen Wan and Princess Liufang to Qiushi Courtyard.
The two took turns hugging and teasing the boy, and then he yawned and fell asleep.
Song Ziyu didn't stay long, before Grandma Du sent Cui'er to tell her to go back to class.
Princess Liufang came to the Song family not to see Song Zian, but because she had something to say to Shen Wan. It was hard for her to talk to Song Ziyu. Now that Song Ziyu was gone, she looked at Shen Wan and said, "These two News spread from the Sun Palace that the virtuous concubine offended Long Yan and was thrown into the cold palace."
On the fifteenth day, Shen Wan disappeared in the palace. Even the Queen Mother suspected that someone in the palace had harmed her.
But after finding her, the emperor said that she was lost in the palace.
The very next day, news came out in the palace that the virtuous concubine had been banished to the cold palace.
Both she and her mother-in-law felt that the concubine's being banished to the cold palace might have something to do with Mrs. Song.
Into limbo?
Shen Wan raised her lips and smiled. That virtuous concubine was probably going to be locked up in the cold palace for the rest of her life.
The emperor had said that he would give them an explanation, and she had been waiting for it. Now this explanation seemed appropriate.
Seeing that she was not surprised at all, Princess Liufang knew that her guess was correct.
"You disappeared in the palace, was it the work of the virtuous concubine?"
Princess Liufang asked.
Shen Wan did not deny it, nodded and said: "Indeed, she wanted to kill me. Fortunately, the guards arrived in time, otherwise the princess would be attending my funeral now."
"Bah, bah, bah..." Princess Liufang, who had always been gentle and dignified, pouted three times in a row, frowned and looked at Shen Wan and said, "Don't say those unlucky words, that virtuous concubine is really overly ambitious. She actually Dare to murder the wife of a court official in the forbidden palace."
It doesn't matter that the virtuous concubine is stupid, how can she be so courageous?
"However, although the emperor banished the virtuous concubine to the cold palace, he did not make her crimes public. He probably did not want outsiders to know that such a thing happened in the palace."
It is estimated that she and her mother-in-law were not the only ones who felt that Concubine Xian's being relegated to the cold palace had something to do with Mrs. Song.
Everyone who attended the Lantern Festival banquet probably felt the same way! However, the emperor deliberately wanted to cover up this scandal, and others did not dare to talk nonsense.
Shen Wan said: "It doesn't matter, the virtuous concubines on the left and right have also received the punishment they deserve."
After resigning, Shen Ming went to the official residence given to him by the emperor to take a look. The courtyard of Sanjin was enough for his parents to live in if they got married in the future.
He was going to get married next year and it was time to start his own business. He was thinking about moving out of his brother-in-law's house and moving here in the next few days.
He already has his own official residence, so it is not appropriate to stay at his brother-in-law's house.
After walking around the official residence, Shen Ming returned to the general's residence.
The official residence is fully furnished, and he only needs to buy some daily necessities to move in.
In the evening, Shen Ming went to Qiushi Courtyard after dinner. Shen Wan was sitting on the kang holding the boy in her arms.
"Sister, I have something to tell you."
"you say."
Shen Wan patted Zi An's back gently.
Shen Ming said: "I think I will move to my official residence in the next few days."
When Shen Wan heard what he said, the first thing she thought about was whether the servants in the mansion said something unpleasant to him, which made him think about moving out.
"You live well, why do you want to move?"
Shen Ming slowly explained to her: "I'm going to get married next year, and it's time to start my own business.
Moreover, the emperor has given me an official residence, so I can't just leave it somewhere without living there."
"I'm afraid your official residence is too small. In the future, you and Princess Liufang will live in the imperial city when you get married. I want to buy you another residence."
This was a plan she had already made.
"If you want to move out, why not let me buy the house for you and then you can move out."
"Sister, there is no need to worry about me anymore. The official residence is enough to live in. If I want to change to a bigger house in the future, I should buy it myself."
My sister has put a lot of thought into his marriage.
Although his sister didn't say anything, he also knew that his sister had given his mother a lot of money to prepare for the wedding and dowry. How could he have the nerve to take over his sister's house again? Seeing that he looked like he had made up his mind, Shen Wan said: " Oh well!"
