Xin Ruyi frowned and said, "Having said that, you should also think about Xuechu. It's time for Sister Yue to discuss marriage, but Brother Rui is only six years old. What do you want him to do?"
When it came to Brother Rui, Mu Rufeng's thoughts were a little wandering. He suddenly remembered something and then thought about what Shen Wanyue said. A bold guess suddenly came to his mind, which shocked him.
Xin Ru commented curiously and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Rufeng frowned and said: "When Brother Rui was one year old, Shen Chi came back with Xue Chu. Logically speaking, Shen Chi should be happy to have a son, but I saw a sad look on his face.
I thought it was because his career was not going well and I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about how Brother Rui looks nothing like Chenchi, I'm afraid..."
Xin Ruyi was shocked when she heard this, and her voice trembled: "Is this impossible? Are you overthinking it?"
Mu Rufeng also hoped that she was overthinking it, but after Xuechu married Shen Chi and gave birth to a daughter, she did not get pregnant again for ten years, and then she suddenly got pregnant, which was really not normal.
It's no wonder that he thinks too much. He knows his sister's temperament best. When she was young, she was arrogant and arrogant. He was most afraid that she would do something that would disgrace her family status in a moment of confusion.
In any case, this matter is not trivial and must be investigated clearly.
...
The fact that the General's Mansion alerted the imperial doctor in the middle of the night soon reached Yuan Hao's ears. He was curious to know that such an old lady had never alerted the imperial hospital.
So he called Feng Changling over and asked: "I heard that someone in the General's Mansion had an emergency last night. I wonder who it was?"
Feng Changling rolled up his sleeves and replied: "It's my cousin. Her face was ruined because she took some conflicting drugs. That's why the old lady alerted the hospital."
"Miss Cousin?"
Yuan Hao didn't react for a moment. He didn't know who this cousin was.
Zhou Quan, the eunuch who was accompanying him, explained: "She should be the daughter of General Mu's sister. I heard that she came to Beijing to congratulate General Mu on his great happiness a few years ago."
Yuan Hao's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this. He didn't know what he thought of and asked: "But the daughter of Shen Chi, the prefect of Tongzhou?"
Feng Changling nodded and said, "It's Miss Shen."
Yuan Hao relaxed his eyebrows and said with some emotion: "I remember that I went to Tongzhou seven years ago and saw this Miss Shen in Shen Mansion. She looked very similar to her mother. I wonder what happened to her face? "
Feng Changling replied: "Although it is a bit serious, it is not incurable."
Yuan Hao said: "That's good. You should treat her carefully. You must know that your daughter's face is more important than anything else, but don't be careless."
"I obey my orders."
Feng Changling lowered his head, but felt strange in his heart. It seemed that His Majesty paid special attention to Miss Shen. If he was so afraid, he would not be able to do anything secretly.
After Yuan Hao asked, he waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
Ambergris was lit in the quiet hall, and the faint aroma spread in the air. Yuan Hao sat quietly on the chair for a moment and suddenly asked: "Chen Chi has been the magistrate of Tongzhou for six years, right?"
"Yes, it's been six years."
Zhou Quan replied respectfully that the reason he remembered it clearly was because Shen Chi was not an ordinary person. He was a young man from a poor family, and he was married to General Mu's sister.
According to common sense, his career should be glorious.
However, he had robbed His Majesty's woman, so His Majesty held a grudge against him. Soon after Shen Chi got married, he was sent out of the capital to become the county magistrate of Yuncheng.
For ten consecutive years, Chen Chi was re-elected as county magistrate in various places, and these were all remote and difficult to manage places.
