After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

But he is also a human being after all, not a heartless plant. How could he not like to have his own children and grandchildren by his side?

However, his legitimate son feared him like a tiger, and his eldest legitimate grandson was brought up without any courage that a military general's son should have. He also had to take care of the royal family's face and work hard to cultivate his illegitimate son to inherit his legacy.

It was not until the birth of his second legitimate grandson that the old marquis could breathe a sigh of relief. God would not destroy his Shen family, and the Zhennan Marquisate finally had a successor!

Therefore, his grandfather was very happy to see Shen Mufeng snatch the throne of the crown prince. Unless the old marquis was as stupid as his own son, he would definitely not be a lobbyist.

It was the boy's marriage that made the old man, who had never seen any love in his life, feel a little bald.

As a result, he ate less pork knuckles during this period, but the meaning revealed by the emperor was also worth pondering. Was he really doting on his trusted ministers, or was he afraid that the Shen family would marry into other aristocratic families?

The mind of an emperor is always ambiguous. He must act cautiously and think three steps ahead, otherwise his demise will not be far away.

The old man frowned, picked up the pig's trotter and continued to chew it.

On the west side of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, there is a yard planted with peonies of various colors, and it also has a very down-to-earth name, called the Peony Garden.

After all the remaining red leaves have faded, the fragrance begins to bloom, and the beautiful name is called the King of Flowers.

She boasts of being the most beautiful woman in the world and the most fragrant woman in the world.

There is real truth to the reputation. When the peonies bloom, the whole garden is filled with colorful flowers, as if spring has stayed in a corner of the world. It is indeed worthy of people's love.

This is the favorite place for Marquis Feng. After dinner, she would come here from time to time to stroll around and relax.

"Madam, the Marquis is back."

Aunt Suqiu, the Marquis's close confidant, walked in slowly from outside, approached her master and reported softly.

"Just now Xiaoquanzi came over and said that the old marquis had chased the people out. After the marquis returned to the west courtyard, he went to the old lady again."

"Hmph, he probably got turned down by my son. He deserves it. Don't bother with him. The mother and daughter can discuss whatever they want. It has nothing to do with the people in our yard."

Su Qiu looked at the expressionless and indifferent look on her master's face and could only sigh softly in her heart.

"I heard there was another commotion today."

"And for what?"

"It seems that the little Luo disguised herself as a maid and ran away. The eldest grandmother happened to run into her when she came back from outside and caught her outside the mansion."

Suqiu paused, looked at her master's expression, and didn't know whether she should say the next words.

Feng turned her head and looked at her, and understood everything.

"Tell me, what more unbelievable things can there be? Tell me so that I, a woman with long hair and short knowledge, can broaden my horizons."

Thinking of the last time when the audacious daughter of the Luo family dared to point at her master and ridicule him in person, Aunt Suqiu's anger suddenly rose to her head, and she was too lazy to cover up for the master's misdeeds.

"Ever since our Second Master invited Old Doctor Huo to come and cure the eldest grandmother, that little Luo has fallen out with the First Master. She keeps saying that she will never be a concubine and will never be a concubine for the First Master, and she is determined to leave."

"Ah."

Feng suddenly sneered.

"It's the same method her aunt used. I guess the Luo family has been teaching their daughters the same rhetoric since they were little.

I think my eldest son, who takes after his biological father, will definitely swear to the heavens with all his heart that except for the status, everything else, including the body and soul, belongs to her, the daughter of the Luo family."

"……master."

Suqiu called out dryly, "You said you had said everything you needed to say, what else do you want me to say?"

Feng curled her lips indifferently, paced under the moon in front of the flowers, looked up at the crescent moon and the starry sky, her voice was even colder than her otherworldly appearance.

"I don't care anymore. Let them do whatever they want. I will just consider Mu Feng as my only child in this life."

She stroked the incredibly beautiful peony under her hand.

"Everything in this world has its own destiny. Maybe Shen Congfeng was not supposed to be my son. He just ran to the wrong place in a hurry when he was reincarnated, and then he crawled out of my belly."

Su Qiu, who grew up with her master, watched helplessly as the innocent and lively young lady she once was turned into the cold and frosty noble lady she is today. Her master's tears must have been shed in her lifetime.

He took a deep breath to suppress the soreness in his throat, and then he complained in a low voice with a look of indignation on his face.

"Don't think like that. How can there be any such thing as fate? It was clearly the old lady who did it on purpose! It was a man-made disaster, not God's will. You can't be blamed!"

"Of course you can't blame me! If you want to blame someone, you should blame the people in the Shen family. What does it have to do with me?"

From this, it can be seen that Shen Mufeng definitely inherited this excellent character of being clear-headed and not wasting time from his mother. Feng Shi has always been good at being able to take things and let them go.

“Since Shen Congfeng is willing to listen to the old lady, is willing to get close to Luo Shi, and even recognizes her as his mother, it doesn’t matter.

After all, I gave birth to him, so how could I not fulfill his wish? Humph, I don’t have to give up my husband and eldest son, but I have secured the position of Marquis’ wife for the rest of my life!

Whoever dares to kick my son Mu Feng down from the position of the legitimate son, I will kill him!"

The last sentence of his was filled with murderous coldness, which made Shen Yunchuan, who was having a meal in Cixin Hall, shiver for no apparent reason.

"My Lord, the evening breeze is still chilly. Are you feeling unwell?"

The gentle woman sitting next to him holding chopsticks and serving him food was the Luo mentioned by the master and servant of the Marquis. She was a relative of the old lady and also Shen Yunchuan's concubine.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Shen Yunchuan pulled his robe together and replied with a smile.

The old lady sat at the head of the table and looked over here. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her son's expression, she finished the soup in her hand, then frowned and put down the bowl and spoon. Shen Yunchuan and Luo Shi also stopped eating.

The servants who were serving nearby came over very tactfully and gently helped their masters rinse their mouths and wash their hands.

A few people left the dining table and walked to the flower hall to sit down. After the servants brought them tea to help them digest their food, they all retreated respectfully.

The old lady picked up the teacup, felt the temperature was just right, opened the lid and took a few sips, then raised her eyes and asked.

"You mean to say that Erlang is unwilling to give in? Is he determined to fight to the end?"

"That's not what I meant."

It was hard to tell what was on Shen Yunchuan's face, but at least he still remembered to say a few words on behalf of his second son.
