Shen Zhenshan put his arms around his beloved wife's waist and kissed her hair: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
Thinking of his third daughter who was seriously ill with a fever, Shen Zhenshan felt a rare feeling of guilt in his heart: "The third girl is seriously ill. You will send someone to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look tomorrow. She is still young, so don't let the root cause of the disease fall on her."
Mr. Tantai snorted coldly: "What kind of disease can be caused at such a young age? When my mother-in-law was alive, she would give all the delicacies from the mountains and seas to the three girls. Shu'er was greedy for a bowl of soup, but she was scolded away by her mother-in-law."
Shen Baiyu has been raised by the deceased Mrs. Shen.
In Tantai's view, Mrs. Shen was the most partial to Shen Baiyu. Delicacies from the mountains and seas, Ganoderma lucidum, and elixirs were all fed into Shen Baiyu's belly. Mrs. Shen rarely takes care of her other grandchildren.
Shen Zhenshan rarely defended: "My mother said that she wanted to train the third girl to be a housekeeper, so she was particularly concerned about it."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tantai immediately turned red-eyed and said aggrievedly: "Are you still speaking for your mother? I remember clearly how your mother made things difficult for me when I got married. She said I was useless and was not allowed to I am the housekeeper, but you have never looked at me seriously. I have given birth to five children for you. The eldest is a young general in Cangcheng, and Wan'er is a distinguished princess. I am still useless? Your mother forced you to accept the child before she died. Concubine... How can there be such a mother-in-law in the world?"
Tantai felt a wave of grievances in her heart, and her almond-shaped eyes turned red.
The Tantai family had a smooth life, but suffered a setback due to the old lady. Naturally, this grievance will be remembered for a lifetime.
Shen Zhenshan hurriedly held his beloved wife in his arms and coaxed her: "She is a mother of five children, and she still looks like a teenage girl. Don't cry, don't cry, it's all your husband's fault."
Among the harem women who have lived in the inner house for a long time in the capital, there are hundreds and thousands of scheming minds. Only his beloved wife Tantai has remained innocent and lovely for decades, like a child who has not grown up, daring to love and hate.
Shen Zhenshan is very rare.
Shen Zhenshan said: "Don't cry, I have good news for you. The eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. An Ji sent someone to send her back to the capital to raise her baby. She will arrive in Beijing within half a month. As for An Ji, she will return to Beijing to report on her work in two months. Let’s take care of it in the General’s Mansion.”
Tantai was overjoyed: "Xin Yue is pregnant? I will send people to sweep out the yard tomorrow so that she can take good care of her fetus."
Shen Zhenshan scratched the bridge of his beloved wife's nose and was about to hug her and give her some tenderness when the boy outside the house knocked on the door and said eagerly: "General, Mr. Jiang from Dali Temple is here. He said he has something important to discuss with you. The discussion is about the fugitive who assassinated the prince!"
Shen Zhenshan was shocked, put on his boots and went out quickly.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
At the distant border of Daqing, the war ceased and the border was peaceful for several months.
Qingguo and Yueguo intend to have good relations, and Cangcheng, located on the border of Qingguo, has opened a market for commercial activities.
The inner door of the General's Mansion in Cangcheng was closed tightly. The famous young general Shen Anji had locked himself in the room for two days.
"Young General, you haven't come out yet?"
"The major general fell into the water the day before yesterday and was unconscious for two hours. After waking up, he kept himself locked in his room."
"The young general suddenly ordered a search of Madam's room and a strict search of Madam's personal maid. It's so strange."
The guarding soldiers whispered, unable to guess what the young general was thinking.
In the room, Shen Anji was still in panic.
Shen Anji had a long and terrifying dream, dreaming of the General's Mansion in the distant capital. In the dream, the third sister Shen Baiyu killed his wife Jiang Xinyue, who was five months pregnant, stabbed the crown prince's best friend Zhang Concubine, whipped the fourth brother Shen Anxing, and took away the fifth sister's beloved Prince Chen, disobeying his parents.
Shen Baiyu did all the bad things and was rejected by the whole family. She was tied up and stuffed into a sedan chair to be married. On her way to get married, she encountered kidnappers who robbed her of her property, and she fell into a lake and drowned.
The death of the notorious Shen Baiyu should have been a huge relief. But then, things gradually changed...
Shen Anji accidentally discovered that his beloved Jiang Xinyue had faked her death, and her true identity was a Yue country spy - Shen Baiyu discovered Jiang Xinyue's spy identity and accidentally killed her.
After Shen Wan'er was conferred the title, the concubine Zhang, whom she regarded as a sister, turned against her and planned to send Shen Wan'er to the cold palace - and when Shen Baiyu stabbed Wang, it was because he found out that she had been secretly intoxicating Shen Wan'er. Absolute medicine.
The fourth brother, Shen Anxing, spent all his time in a brothel, pursuing pleasure and debauchery without the supervision of Shen Baiyu, and finally died on a woman's belly.
The younger sister Shen Wan'er married King Chen. After the marriage, she had many bad habits and was quickly rejected by King Chen. Prince Chen's Mansion is not a General's Mansion, and no one will obey Shen Wan'er in everything. Her life became more and more difficult day by day, and she eventually went crazy and committed suicide.
The mother, Tantai, was very worried when she saw her children suffering misfortunes one by one. She was not good at taking care of the housework in the house, and the general's palace was in chaos. She argued with Shen Zhenshan all day long. Shen Zhenshan's patience was worn away, so he simply married several concubines and hung out with new people all day long.
Later, the Yue Kingdom invaded with its troops, and the Qing Kingdom was destroyed, and all life was in ruins.
This dream was so real that Shen Anji was suspicious and secretly searched Jiang Xinyue's room. Sure enough, he found letters in the secret room about her relationship with the prince of Yue.
The dream is real!
Shen Anji was sweating coldly and felt frightened for a while. Everyone wrongly blamed Shen Baiyu, his well-behaved and sensible third sister, who was ignored and misunderstood by the whole family, but still protected her family silently.
That was the only pure and kind little girl in the General's Mansion.
No one paid attention to her efforts.
"Third sister... I hope it's not too late." Shen Anji's mind was spinning a thousand times. He would return to Beijing to resume his duties in two months. He must protect his third sister. As for Jiang Xinyue, who was sent back to the capital to raise her fetus because of her pregnancy...he would kill her himself after returning to the capital.
Knock knock——
There was a knock on the door outside the house, and the deputy general said cautiously outside the door: "Major General, the maid next to Madam has been crying about injustice and wants to see you."
Shen Anji opened the door, and the bright sunlight outside the house shone on his eyelids, stinging his eyes and causing pain.
Shen Anji closed his eyes and said, "Kill."
The deputy general didn't react: "Kill...kill?"
Shen Anji drew his sword: "I will do it myself."
The deputy general was in a fog, and when he came back to his senses, he only saw the cold and determined back of the major general. Holding a sharp sword, he walked towards the cell step by step.
