After thinking for a moment about Nanny Hua's suggestion, Mrs. Li finally nodded and agreed.

Li said in a low voice, "We have to handle this matter carefully, so as not to get caught."

Although they in the East Palace had titles, they had no successor, while the old man in the West Palace was a fifth-rank Zhongshu Shilang in the capital. Although the position was not high, it was still an official after all.

In the past, Madam Li thought that there was no one from the East Palace serving as an official, and there was no one to help speak for her in the court. In addition, she had her own plans, so she always stayed close to the West Palace so that people in the capital would know that there were people in their Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

But unexpectedly, when Changsheng and his friends arrived, the neighbors immediately became anxious and started to take action without waiting. As soon as the child of Changsheng's family came in, they started to take action in a hurry. This touched Li's sore spot.

If Shen Rong heard the conversation between the master and servant here, she would be shocked.

She never thought that the excuse she made up would be misunderstood by the other party.

But a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. The purpose of the person who came was not pure. Even if he found the wrong person, it would not be unfair to the neighbor.

After Shen Rong and Changsheng finished their breakfast in the yard, Chun Xing told Shen Rong that the old lady wanted to see them.

Shen Rong and Changsheng took the two children out of Guiyuan and came to Minghuiyuan.

In the main room of Minghui Courtyard, Madam Li sat at the top of the table, Shen Lianchuan and Yao sat on the chairs on the left of Madam Li. When Shen Rong and Changsheng came in, the three of them were talking about something, and the atmosphere in the room was very relaxed. Yao and Li still had smiles on their faces, and when they saw Shen Rong and Changsheng coming in with the children, their smiles remained the same.

Shen Rong did not ask them what they were talking about. She brought her child to bow to the elders. Changsheng, who was standing nearby, also bowed to Old Madam Li. However, he bowed like a man with his hands clasped in a bow, which was different from Shen Rong's half-squatting bow.

Mrs. Li was relieved to find that Changsheng was not as stupid as she thought.

"Please sit down. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite. Did you sleep well last night?"

When Mrs. Li asked the last sentence, she was looking at Changsheng.

Changsheng looked at Old Madam Li without saying anything.

Shen Rong did not rashly answer for Changsheng.

If they were in the village, or if only she and Changsheng's grandparents were there, if Changsheng didn't want to answer, she would definitely answer for him. But they were outside now, so it would not be appropriate to answer questions for Changsheng at this time.

Although the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is now her home and Old Madam Li is Changsheng's grandmother, it is obvious that she wants to talk to Changsheng, so Shen Rong is reluctant to speak.

Obviously, Madam Li had already known what kind of personality Changsheng had from Yao and Shen Lianchuan. She did not take Changsheng's silence to heart. She just looked at Shen Rong and said, "This is Changsheng's wife, she is so pretty and she has raised these two children so well."

Li waved to the two children, "Come, come over to Grandma, I have some delicious food here."

Shen Rong gently pushed the two children and said, "Go! Let the old lady take a look at you."

Ping An'an and the other two heard the words and walked towards Mrs. Li with their short legs.

Old Madam Li smiled and hugged the two children in her arms, then picked them up and placed them on the couch where she was sitting.

"What's your name?" Old Madam Li placed a plate of plum blossom-shaped snacks in front of An An.

An An first tilted her head to look at Shen Rong, and when she saw Shen Rong looking at her with encouragement, she said in a crisp voice: "My name is An An."

Mrs. Li noticed the little girl's little action, and the smile on her face became even more intense. She handed a piece of dessert to An An, "Eat it! If you like it, I'll ask the kitchen to make some for you to take home."

"Thank you, grandma." An An stretched out her little hand and took it.

Li turned to Pingping, who had been staring at the dim sum, and said, "What about you, little guy? What's your name?"

As Mrs. Li spoke, she took a piece of dessert and handed it to Pingping.

Pingping took the snack and said, "My name is Pingping. My mother said that our names mean peace and safety."

Madam Li glanced at Shen Rong, and the smile on her face became more kind. "This is a good name, and the meaning is also good."

Shen Rong felt a little embarrassed. This name was good as a nickname, but it was not prudent to use it as a real name, so she replied, "Madam, this name was originally chosen as a nickname."

"Nickname? What are the two children's full names?"

Shen Rong looked at Sixth Grandpa.

Sixth Grandpa said before that he hadn’t thought about it yet, but then he remembered that the child is almost three years old.

Shen Rong had asked about the child's full name before, but Sixth Grandpa said that the child was too young and should wait until he was older to give him a name, which would be more restrained.

When Mrs. Li saw Shen Rong looking at Shen Lianchuan, she couldn't help but look over as well.

Seeing this, Shen Lianchuan coughed lightly and said, "The name hasn't been chosen yet. I was thinking that the child's last name is Gong, so I thought..."

Shen Lianchuan didn't say anything else after that.

Li remembered the two-year agreement between her mother-in-law and Dr. Shen and his wife, and she understood what Shen Lianchuan had not said.

Mrs. Li thought that these two children were the only flesh and blood of her son left in this world, and she couldn't help showing a trace of sadness on her face, "If the grandfather of the children were still alive, the two children's names would belong to him.

Nanny Hua was standing by and saw her master's expression. She knew that her master was thinking about her deceased master.

She hurried forward and patted her master's arm in a soothing manner, "Master, how about you give the two children nice names? The master will be happy when he knows."

After hearing what the nanny said, Madam Li no longer cared about being sad. She quickly cheered up and looked at Shen Lianchuan and his wife, "Madam Yao, Doctor Shen, naming is a big deal. How about I ask Taoist Taixu from Baiyun Temple to look at the horoscopes of the two children before naming them? What do you think?"

How could Shen Lianchuan and Yao not agree?

Taoist Taixu of Baiyun Temple, when Shen Lianchuan and his wife left the capital more than 20 years ago, Taoist Taixu's abilities spread throughout the capital. Unexpectedly, after more than 20 years, Taoist Taixu's reputation is still so loud. It would be great if Taoist Taixu could name the child himself.

Shen Lianchuan: "Then I'll trouble you, old lady."

Li smiled and said to Yao, "If we have time in the next two days, how about we go to Baiyun Temple?"

Seeing that Li attached so much importance to the two children, Yao's smile became more genuine.

"Then listen to the old lady."

As soon as Yao finished speaking, a woman's voice was heard from outside.

"I heard that a guest came yesterday. Why did the old lady hide the guest from everyone?"

Along with the voice, a middle-aged woman wearing a brown horse-faced skirt with a Baoxiang flower pattern and a turmeric long jacket walked into the main hall.

When Mrs. Li saw the person coming, her brows furrowed.

Looking at Shen Rong, who was dressed as plain as could be, his brows slowly relaxed again.

This little Chen is getting more and more outrageous. Her son has only been gone for a short time, but she is already dressing up so fancy so soon. What is she doing?
