Chapter 3 Do you suspect me of poisoning?
Leng Lanzhi entered the dining room and nodded to his mother-in-law Zhao: "Mother-in-law, father-in-law."
Ping Nanhou nodded happily.
Mrs. Zhao's face was unhappy.
Since her wedding, Leng Lanzhi had been calling her "mother" and would come over every morning and dusk to say hello. She was also very hands-on in taking care of her mother-in-law.
Ever since the crab incident that day, this woman's face has changed.
Humph, you know that these royal daughters are not good, and only their life experience can be seen from all over them.
The Pingnan Hou Mansion has only been passed down for three generations.
The old Marquis was originally just a farmer. He entered the military camp because of his service. He also made great military exploits because of his cleverness and bravery. From a young pony, he became the prominent Marquis of Pingnan.
Due to a lot of injuries he suffered when he was young, the root cause of his disease was the old Marquis. He died of illness a few years after entering Beijing. His wife was too sad and died two years later.
The current Marquis of Pingnan is the only son of the old Marquis. He has no brothers and only two married sisters.
Ping Nanhou didn't have much ability. He only entertained cats and dogs every day, and he also caused a lot of romantic debts outside.
Zhao was originally a peasant woman. Even though she had been in Beijing for more than 20 years, she could not develop much aristocratic temperament. Her words and thoughts were always vulgar, but she was extremely particular about ostentation.
The curtain was opened again, and Shen Yizhi walked in.
Nowadays, his youthfulness has faded away, his features are clear-cut, and his eyes that were as warm as water when we first met him are now like a cold pool, bottomless.
If he only looked at his face, Leng Lanzhi would still be attracted to him at first sight.
"Yizhi! My son!" Mrs. Zhao rushed over, pinched Shen Yizhi's arms and shoulders, and said in a choked voice, "I've lost weight!"
She wiped her eyes twice with a handkerchief, and said in an angry tone: "You said that you haven't lived at home since we got married. It seems that there is some scourge in our Houfu."
There was a sarcastic smile in Leng Lan's eyes.
She neglected to live in the luxurious princess mansion and worked hard to take care of this family for six years. In the end, she only got the reputation of a "savage beast".
However, they didn't say it clearly, and she couldn't take the seat accordingly, so she picked up the tea cup and gently fiddled with the unfolded leaves with the lid.
"Okay, mother, I'm coming back this time and I won't leave for the time being."
As Shen Yizhi said this, he glanced coldly at the elegant woman.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be trapped in Shengjing.
The woman did not look at him, with a leisurely smile on her lips.
She is extremely beautiful, and when she smiles, she looks like a bunch of peonies, delicate and noble.
His eyes moved slightly.
As if he had returned to the day they first met, he was also shocked by the unique beauty and flamboyant aura in the world.
Marquis Pingnan greeted him with a smile: "Okay, okay, Yizhi must be hungry after running all the way, so let's eat first."
Suddenly, a cheerful child's voice came from far away: "Daddy! Is daddy back?"
Shen Linan burst into Zhongyi Hall like a gust of wind and threw himself into Shen Yizhi's arms.
After not seeing each other for half a month, Shen Linan gained a lot of weight.
When Leng Lanzhi took care of him, although he was white, tender and plump, he was very fat, healthy and well-proportioned.
Looking again at this moment, the five or six-year-old Xiaotuanzi had a big bulge on his belly, and two blushes appeared on his face after running a few steps.
A smile immediately appeared on the man's cold handsome face. He bent down to catch Shen Lin'an, his eyes full of love: "An'er."
Zhao glanced at Leng Lan and asked deliberately: "An'er, do you miss your father?"
"I think!" Shen Lin'an replied crisply.
The love in Shen Yi's eyes almost overflowed.
What a warm picture of a loving father and a filial son!
Catching Zhao's proud look with profound meaning, Leng Lanzhi just wanted to laugh.
This mother-in-law is so stupid, why didn’t she realize it in her previous life?
Sure enough, love can make people blind and blind without even realizing it.
Suddenly, Shen Lin'an said: "Dad, is my mother here?"
Everyone in the Shen family changed their colors.
Xiaorou also showed a surprised expression.
Leng Lanzhi was a little surprised.
In his previous life, Shen Linan did not say these words that were like thunder.
As soon as she thought about it, she understood.
In her previous life, she loved Shen Yi very much. After he came back, she came close to him to ask questions, and Shen Linan had no chance to ask questions.
She applauded Shen Lin'an crazily in her heart, but her face showed the right expression of surprise: "His mother?"
Shen Yizhi reacted very quickly, quickly calmed down his expression, and handed Shen Lin'an to Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao took Shen Lin'an aside and whispered, not knowing what was said.
He said calmly: "He was unconscious when I rescued him, and he didn't know that his mother was already... I kept lying to him, saying that mother and son were just separated, so he would ask me every time he saw me."
When Shen Lin'an was brought back, everyone in the Shen family said that he was an orphan saved by Shen Yizhi from the enemy. His parents died tragically under the enemy's machete.
Leng Lanzhi pretended to believe it: "That's it."
She smiled slightly: "Let's eat."
On the other end, Mrs. Zhao didn't know what she said to Shen Lin'an. Shen Lin'an didn't mention her mother's affairs again when they arrived at the dinner table.
Today's dishes are very rich, including more than a dozen palm-sized crabs.
These were naturally awarded to Leng Lanzhi by the emperor, and he took them out at this time to help Shen Yizhi wash away his dust.
At the dinner table, the four Shen family members chatted happily. All three were very interested in what happened on the battlefield and asked questions from time to time.
Shen Yizhi didn't hide anything, he just said whatever the three asked him.
Shen Yizhi is really a good father. While talking about interesting things that happened in the military camp, he peeled crabs for Shen Linan.
Before long, most of the crabs on the table had entered Shen Linan's stomach.
Of the remaining ones, Ping Nanhou ate three, Zhao ate two, and Shen Yizhi ate two.
Leng Lanzhi only ate one.
Leng Lanzhi didn't pay much attention to this. The more she listened to the conversation between her father, son and grandson, the more she frowned.
Just as he was about to say something, Shen Linan suddenly let out an "ouch", clutched his stomach and shouted, "It hurts!"
Shen Yizhi's expression changed drastically and he hugged him up: "An'er, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Lin'an twisted in his arms, as if he wanted to roll around, and cried: "Dad, it hurts! It hurts!"
Leng Lanzhi frowned and said to Xiao Ju: "Tell the imperial doctor."
Hearing her voice, Shen Yizhi suddenly looked over, his two deep eyes were like two deep pools, and he breathed out cold air: "No need! You poisonous woman!"
Leng Lanzhi's eyes trembled slightly: "Do you suspect that I poisoned you?"
Shen Yizhi looked at her with disgust and hatred, did not answer, picked up Shen Lin'an and rushed out.
When he walked to the door, a cold voice sounded: "Send four people to guard the dining room. No one is allowed to touch the food on the table. Wait until I come back."
Mrs. Zhao also reacted at this time, screamed and rushed towards Leng Lanzhi: "You vicious woman! How dare you harm my grandson!"
All this happened in a blink of an eye, and Leng Lanzhi and Xiaorou were completely unprepared for Zhao's sudden madness.
By the time she realized something was wrong, Zhao's hands were already in front of her.
