Frost shines on Qingcheng

Shen Shuangzhao was led by the maid to the entrance of the main hall, but ever since the maid told her that Shen Wanrong let her go to the main hall, she was shrouded in uneasiness.It was this level of anxiety that made her hesitate for a long time outside the door of the main hall, but she never took half a step in.

"Miss Shen..." Seeing Shen Shuang standing still, the maid couldn't help feeling anxious for her, "The city lord specifically told you to come to the main hall as soon as possible. You've come all the time, so why don't you not go in?"

Shen Shuangzhao pursed her lips, hesitating in her heart.

The maid was afraid that Shen Wanrong would blame herself if she waited for a long time, but it was not easy to push Shen Shuang in, so she could only pace anxiously by herself.

Shen Wanrong was also anxious.She supported her forehead with one hand, she didn't listen to what the people below were discussing, all she could think about was something related to Shen Shuangzhao.

Sang Yu stood below, looking thoughtfully at Shen Wanrong's troubled look.Tang Mengxuan quietly supported Zhi Sangyu with her arm, and said to her in a low voice: "Master, what's wrong? He looks absent-minded."

Sang Yu looked at her and said calmly: "Maybe there is something bothering me. I guess—it must be related to Shuang Zhao."

"Shuangzhao?" Tang Mengxuan thought for a while, "Speaking of which, I think Shuangzhao has become very strange after returning."

Sang Yu looked away and began to think seriously by herself.

Tang Mengxuan pursed her lips, complaining in her heart that everyone around her suddenly became so weird.

"Why doesn't Shuang'er go in?" After returning to the city, Xue Qing went straight to the main hall after finishing the trivial matters. After all, she and Ruodee were usually by Shen Wanrong's side.

Shen Shuangzhao remained silent, and didn't want to confide her thoughts, so she just stood there without saying a word.

Xue Qing watched her grow up, so she understood Shen Shuangzhao's thoughts.Knowing that Shen Shuangzhao didn't like to be lively since she was a child, she was taciturn most of the time.This kind of temperament of not fighting or grabbing, I don't know whether it is good or bad.

Looking at her, Xue Qing thought about what happened on the island in the middle of the lake again, and the anxiety and worry hidden in her heart came out again.She had to tell the city lord quickly, otherwise it would be too late when something that shouldn't happen happened.

"Follow me in quickly." Xue Qing sank Shen Xin, and led Shen Shuangzhao to walk in.

Shen Shuangzhao was unwilling, but at this point, she couldn't break free, so she could only bite the bullet and follow Xueqing into the main hall.

Shen Wanrong raised her head and saw Xue Qing leading Shen Shuangzhao in, she immediately raised her brows.

"This subordinate has seen the city lord, and Shuang'er has also come over." Xue Qing bowed and saluted.

Shen Shuang looked at Shen Wanrong with clear eyes, and also bowed.

"Get up." Shen Wanrong stepped down from the seat.

The people below were silent, watching Shen Wanrong walk towards Shen Shuangzhao.Shen Shuangzhao didn't say anything, but lowered her head slightly, feeling uncomfortable and uncomfortable here no matter what.

"I was really anxious to let you come to the main hall just after you came back. However, I just want you to get used to the atmosphere here quickly." Shen Wanrong said to Shen Shuangzhao.

"Master... what do you mean by this?"

Shen Wanrong turned around and stepped up the steps again, her voice raised: "From today on, Shuang'er will accompany me to discuss matters in this main hall."

As soon as these words came out, there was a wave of restlessness underneath.Sang Yu squinted her eyes, and her eyes flew towards Shen Shuangzhao like sharp knives.

Shen Shuangzhao's black eyes were full of bewilderment and surprise, and she didn't recover for a long time.

"Master!" Sang Yu said eagerly, "This decision is a bit hasty and hasty? Junior sister seldom touches government affairs, why is she suddenly asked to discuss politics? What's more, junior sister is recovering from a serious illness and gets up early every day to discuss matters. I'm afraid her I can't take it anymore. I hope Master will think twice."

"I've naturally considered what you're worried about." Shen Wanrong didn't show the slightest sign of repentance, "It's precisely because she had little contact with government affairs in the past that I decided to let her gradually participate in political affairs so that I can share some of the burden for me. As for Shuang'er's body , the doctor has more say."

"But..." Sang Yu was unwilling to reconcile and wanted to argue again.

"There is no 'but'. I don't need anyone to question the decision I made." Shen Wanrong is not an autocratic person, but she is particularly strong in this matter, "Do you have any objections?"

With Sang Yu's lessons learned here, no one of the officials below would dare to raise objections.

Shen Shuangzhao tightly clutched the corner of her clothes. She didn't like Master's decision, but she couldn't refute Master in front of everyone, so she could only suppress her emotions and discuss it with Master later.

---------------------------------------------------------------

After the discussion was over, all the officials walked out of the main hall together.Everyone is talking about what happened today.

"The city lord has made it clear that he favors Shen Shuangzhao."

"Otherwise, since she is her own daughter after all, this child will naturally be passed on to her first daughter. Sang Yu is just her apprentice. Compared with the orthodox one, in terms of status, she is not a bit worse."

Since Shen Wanrong came back from Qingcheng last time, the news that Shen Shuangzhao is Shen Wanrong's daughter spread in the inner city.But Shen Wanrong didn't make an official announcement, and those people didn't dare to spread it out, let alone say it in front of Shen Shuangzhao, they just talked about it in private.

"That's right. The city lord has always loved Shen Shuangzhao, and he didn't let her participate in political affairs because he was afraid of her hard work. Today's decision is tantamount to announcing an heir in disguise. Miss Sang has done all her calculations, but she never thought that Shen Shuangzhao would be the city lord's daughter."

"Fate is tricking people..."

……

Several people sighed and left, and Sang Yu listened to their conversation over and over, and the jealousy grew stronger with unwillingness.

Shen Shuangzhao was left alone by Shen Wanrong.

"Why do you look unhappy?" Shen Wanrong stared at her and asked.She didn't think it before, but since she knew that Shen Shuangzhao was her daughter, Shen Wanrong felt that Shen Shuangzhao looked like Chu Xingzhi when she frowned.

Shen Shuangzhao hesitated again and again, and finally plucked up the courage to speak: "Shuang'er said something that Master doesn't like to hear - I don't really want to participate in political affairs."

Shen Wanrong didn't seem surprised at all, and asked again: "Is it 'don't really want to' or 'not at all'?"

Shen Shuangzhao thought about it, and frowned even tighter: "I don't want to at all."

Shen Wanrong smiled, the flowers between her brows made her extraordinarily charming, she whispered those four words softly: "I don't even want to..."

Looking at her charming smile, Shen Shuangzhao suddenly lost his mind again.Undoubtedly, all those thoughts went to Lu Qingrong again.

After chuckling, Shen Wanrong revealed more helplessness and self-blame: "I must have spoiled you. How can ordinary people dare to speak to me so honestly?"

Shen Shuangzhao's attention jumped out from the face of Lu Qingrong that came to mind, she lowered her head: "Shuang'er doesn't understand, Master never let me touch government affairs in the past, why did he suddenly make such a decision?"

"..." Shen Wanrong was speechless, it was her selfishness after all.He brought Shen Shuangzhao by his side since he was a child, and he doted on her very much.Thinking that if she likes to be free, then let her do what she wants to do.Leading Shuilan City is too hard, and since Sang Yu wants to, let her do it.But since she knew Shen Shuangzhao's identity, her mind changed.

"I'll just express my own thoughts. If Master persists, Shuang'er is willing to listen to you and handle the affairs of the city with you from now on."

Hearing what she said, Shen Wanrong became indecisive again, really upset.She didn't want Shen Shuangzhao to be suppressed by Sang Yu in the future, but she was worried that Shen Shuangzhao was too simple to take on the important task, and at the same time felt that she was forcing her to do something she didn't like.No matter how you think about it, there are many contradictions.

After much deliberation, Shen Wanrong decided to let Shen Shuangzhao try it first, if she still rejects it in the end, then let it go.Shen Shuangzhao also agreed and prepared to go back to her place.

"Don't go, I still have something to ask you." Shen Wanrong stopped her.

Shen Shuangzhao stopped and turned around: "Huh?"

"Shuang'er has also read a lot of medical books. Let me ask you, have you heard of 'Boundless Water'?" Shen Wanrong stared at her without blinking her eyes.

Shen Shuangzhao was obviously stunned for a moment, but she still decided to hide it: "Shuang'er is short-sighted and has never heard of such a thing..."

Shen Wanrong withdrew her gaze: "Really? It seems that Shuang'er hasn't read enough medical books, so you need to pay more attention when you go back to study."

"Yes." Shen Shuangzhao's heart pounded, wondering if something had happened to Lu Qingrong in the city again, otherwise why would Master ask such a question?

Lu Qingrong...you are really worrying.

Shen Wanrong walked to her side, looked straight into her eyes, held her wrist again, and said meaningfully: "Shuang'er seems to be wearing this little bell tied with a red string all the time, do you like it very much?"

Shen Shuang shone like a frightened bird, and hurriedly broke free from her control, with a bit of guilt in her eyes: "Mmm... I like it..."

"The meaning of the red rope is very special, but Shuang'er has a sweetheart?"

"Master misunderstood." Shen Shuangzhao's face turned pale, and her heart beat faster. Shen Wanrong also asked this question three years ago, and she herself denied it at the time.It's just that now, the mood when denying is completely different from before.

"I told Master before that I just bought this thing to wear because I like it. It has nothing to do with whether the person I love or not." Shen Shuangzhao explained again.

Shen Wanrong pursed her lips and smiled again: "I'm just joking, Shuang'er doesn't need to be so excited. If you have a sweetheart, I won't blame you, I just hope you will tell me."

Shen Shuangzhao: "..." She couldn't do it.

"Speaking of my sweetheart, I remembered something. In a blink of an eye, you will be eighteen, and it's time to find a good family for you to marry. I think the son of Mr. Zhang's family is very good-looking, why don't you meet some other day?"

Hearing these words, Shen Shuangzhao's legs were about to go limp, her eyes widened and she shook her head: "Shuang'er is still young, so she doesn't want to marry. Besides, the senior sisters are not yet married..."

"Don't be too excited. I didn't say that you must marry Mr. Zhang, but just let you meet first... If you don't like it, then let it go."

Shen Shuangzhao still shook her head in resistance: "Don't..." What Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li, no matter how good-looking he is, he can't match up to a seductive witch in her heart.

"I heard that Master Zhang's birthday happens to be three days later, why not send Shuang'er to Zhang's mansion to give a gift for the city lord." Xue Qing interrupted suddenly.

"That's okay, Shuang'er heard?" Shen Wanrong smiled, watching Shen Shuangzhao become a little irritable and annoyed.

Seeing that the resistance was futile, and knowing that Master was determined to let her go to see Mr. Zhang, Shen Shuangzhao had no choice but to agree.That's all, let's go meet, anyway, she won't be tempted by others anymore.

Where did Lu Qingrong go?When can we see her again?
