Now that the old matter has been brought up again, she wondered, could her mother-in-law not let her take medicine to regulate her body again this time?

Now that the Marquis is gone, even if she takes medicine to regulate her body, she cannot have children.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen mustered up her courage again and said slowly, "Mother, I know that the Marquis is gone, and you feel sad. Even I, your wife, feel like I have lost my backbone, but we still have to live our lives. If our Marquis's Mansion produces another heir, I'm afraid His Majesty will take back the title."

Xiao Chen had been the marquis's wife for twenty years, and she really couldn't imagine what life would be like after losing her title.

Over the years, there have not been many promising people in the Marquis' Mansion, including the West Mansion. If they lose their titles, they will be just like ordinary people. When I think of this, I can wake up in the middle of the night.

Old Madam Li continued to recite scriptures with her eyes closed.

Little Chen advised again: "Mother, now we are the only two women and children in the East Mansion, and we will have to rely on the uncles and aunts in the West Mansion in the future. If we adopt Xing'er, our East and West Mansions will become one in the future. Then my mother-in-law and I will have someone to rely on, and we won't have to be bullied by those snobs."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li paused as she was turning her rosary beads. She took a deep breath and was almost so angry at little Chen that she burst into a yelling fit.

His son was so blind that he actually chose such a fool!

Who is responsible for the current situation in the mansion?

If it weren't for the ill intentions of the West Palace, coveting the title of their East Palace, how could their East Palace have ended up with a declining population?

Madam Li took a deep breath and said calmly, "That child is almost married now, right? It's too old to raise him well."

The mother-in-law finally spoke. Although she rejected her proposal, she did respond to her words, which was a good thing.

Little Chen consoled herself and said anxiously, "Mother, Xing'er is a little old, but you've seen over the years that if the child gets anything, he will eagerly send it to us. He treats me, his aunt, as if he were his biological mother. If I go find that young man to adopt, I'm too old now, and I really don't have the energy to raise a child!"

Old Madam Li finally turned sideways and looked at Xiao Chen intently, not saying anything for a long time.

Little Chen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her mother-in-law. She subconsciously touched her face and said, "Mother, what are you looking at? Is there something on my daughter-in-law's face?"

Madam Li curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Let's see how stupid you are!"

Little Chen was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of her always generous and kind mother-in-law.

"Mom, did my daughter-in-law do something to make you unhappy?" Little Chen said aggrievedly.

Madam Li turned around again and faced the white jade Buddha. "Go and clean up the Guiyuan in the east. You don't need to worry about other things."

Little Chen opened her mouth and wanted to ask her mother-in-law why she was cleaning the yard at this time, which was the largest yard in the mansion. But when she saw that her mother-in-law didn't want to talk to her, she had to close her mouth and leave the small Buddhist hall.

After Xiao Chen left, Madam Li opened her eyes and looked at the Buddha statue in front of her. She murmured, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to ask that child to come back. Bodhisattva, please bless my grandson and great-grandson to have a safe journey."

Changsheng and others had no idea that their grandmother, whom they had never met, was praying to the Bodhisattva.

During the last ten days of the journey, Changsheng and his son learned martial arts from Wang Qing every day. Changsheng, who had already lost weight due to long-term travel, became even thinner after learning martial arts.

After Changsheng became obsessed with martial arts, he became quite lazy in taking care of the land in the space, but Shen Rong didn't say anything about it.

After the family finished eating the snacks prepared by Shen Ronghe, they finally arrived in the capital.

An An was very disappointed about the lack of braised pork and dim sum, but after Shen Rong told her that there were even better dim sum in the capital, An An began to look forward to that place.

At this time, Changsheng had already learned the martial arts skills quite well.

The carriage journey lasted nearly two months, and they finally entered the capital before winter.

When An An heard the noise outside the carriage, she immediately clapped her hands and asked her mother, "Mom, have we arrived in the capital?"

Shen Rong opened the car window curtain, looked out, and the majestic city wall came into her sight.

Shen Rong was stunned immediately. It was the first time she saw such a majestic city wall. She felt that she could not take in the sight of the city wall alone, not to mention the densely packed street vendors outside the city gate, the long line of people entering the city, and the soldiers with spears guarding the city gate.

Although the line entering the city was very long, the carriage that Gong Shaoshan was sitting in did not wait behind the people in line, but drove directly to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately set their eyes on the carriage.

Shen Rong's heart suddenly began to tighten.

At this moment, An An tugged at Shen Rong's clothes, "Mom, what are you looking at? Have we arrived in the capital yet?"

Before Shen Rong could answer her daughter, she saw Gong Shaoshan reaching out from the carriage with a token in his hand. She didn't know what he said, and the soldier guarding the gate waved his hand to let the carriage pass.

Shen Rong breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and said to her daughter, "We're here, we're about to enter the city."

As he spoke, he picked up his daughter and pulled aside a corner of the curtain to let his daughter see what the capital city looked like.

Seeing this, Pingping also hugged his father's arm, shouting that he also wanted to see the capital.

During this time, the father and son practiced martial arts together, and their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.

Pingping is no longer as clingy to this mother as before.

But An An is just the opposite. Her father and brother sweat all day long, and now she only likes to stick to her sweet-smelling mother.

After hearing what his son said, Changsheng imitated Shen Rong and lifted the curtain on the other side a little bit, then held his son and let him look outside.

At this time, the carriage they were riding in had just passed through the gate, and they saw a long road coming towards them. The road was crowded with people, and a carriage was occasionally mixed in the crowd.

"Wow! The capital city is so big!" Pingping couldn't help but exclaimed when he looked outside.

An An was in her mother's arms. She looked at the outside world with her eyes moving around non-stop. She couldn't help but cheer, "Wow! It's so big!"

The child's innocent chatter made people passing by in the carriage burst out laughing.

Shen Rong was behind her daughter and didn't see who was laughing at them.

However, she couldn't help blushing, so she gently pulled her daughter and lowered the curtain.
