"Grandpa, you don't have to do this today."

Thinking of what happened during the day, Shen Xiyao felt a little irritable.

"Hey, kid."

Shen Ao sighed.

"Don't blame me for blaming you too much.

You must know that our Jibei Marquis Mansion only has you and me, my grandfather and grandson, in the court. Although we still have some connections in the army, they are all rough men. Let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and each one is more active than the other. But When it comes to discussing matters in court, it is far inferior. Besides, we are in the army after all, and water from afar cannot quench our thirst for nearness."

But in the court, the Jibei Marquis Mansion has neither support nor minions. You are just a small sixth-grade captain. Although I am here, there is also the saint's holy family. But how long can the holy family last? It will eventually run out, what will happen to the Jibei Marquis Mansion then?"

Shen Ao paused and then said: "Besides, once I die, the imperial court will take back the title of Marquis of Jibei. You are the only one left in the Shen family. If there is no more help from the ministers, what will you do then? I Even if I go underground, I won’t have the shame to see your parents."

After hearing Shen Ao's words, Shen Xiyao couldn't help but fell silent. In the end, she just felt blessed and exited the study.

When she reached the door, Shen Xiyao stopped, but did not look back, and just said coldly.

"I will not let the Shen family decline!"

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out of the study.

Returning to her boudoir, Shen Xiyao ordered her servants to find Yunxiang, then sat at the round table. As soon as she poured a glass of water, Yunxiang came over.

"Miss, are you looking for me?" Yunxiang saluted.

Shen Xiyao sipped her saliva and nodded slightly. Then she put the teacup on the table, raised her head without saying a word, and stared at Yunxiang with cold eyes.

"Miss, what are you doing? I'm so scared when you're like this."

Yunxiang was a little panicked as she kept being looked at like this.

After a while, Shen Xiyao looked back and spoke slowly, but her tone was extremely serious.

"Yunxiang, you and I grew up together. We are called master and servant and are actually sisters. We are the closest people around me. I will only ask you once, and you must answer me truthfully."

"Miss, what do you want to ask?"

Yunxiang answered with some trepidation.

“Did I do or say anything that I wouldn’t normally do?”

A look that it would indeed be like this flashed through Yunxiang's eyes, and it disappeared briefly.

"No, miss. You never said anything strange or behaved strangely."

Shen Xiyao narrowed her eyes and her voice became colder

"Really not?"

Yunxiang straightened her expression, raised her hand and said, "Miss, I swear. I have never seen you behave in any strange way, nor have I heard you say anything strange."

Shen Xiyao stared at Yunxiang for a long time. Seeing the serious expression on the little maid's face, she finally let out a long breath.

"Okay, you go down."

Yunxiang took a few steps back, turned around and stuck out her tongue. She also patted her chest with her little hand. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, she remembered something again. She turned back and said, "Miss, I will be pregnant in a few days."

It’s Yuan Festival. We…”

"Just stick to your previous preparations."
