The Princess Jingning noticed Shen Danqing's impatience and comforted him, "It's okay. If you're not willing, Baozhu can find an immortal to help. We can use the Truth - Revealing Talisman to force Xiang Yunrou to tell the truth."
The Truth - Revealing Talisman?
General Mu pricked up his ears and repeated this term in his mind.
Shen Heqing knew the function of the Truth - Revealing Talisman. First, he was delighted, but then he shook his head. "Mother, we can't fall out with Xiang Yunrou for the time being. If we use the Truth - Revealing Talisman to force her to tell the truth, there might be another upheaval in the Xiangyun Kingdom."
"That won't do. We can't use that so - called Truth - Revealing Talisman." General Mu quickly rejected the suggestion.
Shen Danqing frowned slightly and set his mind on Shen Yunfeng. "How about using the Truth - Revealing Talisman to force Shen Yunfeng?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Shen Heqing shook his head and reminded them, "No. Xiang Yunrou values Shen Yunfeng more than herself. She even betrayed her country for him. Without Shen Yunfeng to coax her, something might go wrong."
The Dragon King: [This Xiang Yunrou betrayed her country for Shen Yunfeng? What was she thinking?]
Lin Yu: [Maybe she was seduced by Shen Yunfeng's good looks?]
The Princess Jingning said with difficulty and asked again, "Xiang Yunrou values Shen Yunfeng so much. What does she want? She's a princess of the Xiangyun Kingdom. Does she fancy Shen Yunfeng just because he's older?"
Shen Heqing knew the answer. He sneered, "Xiang Yunrou and Shen Yunfeng were deeply in love when they were young. Later, they separated, but Xiang Yunrou has always remained chaste for Shen Yunfeng."
"Mother, theirs is true love!"
The Princess Jingning was even more confused. "But Shen Yunfeng married me in the capital city. He also took Concubine Yun as his concubine and had a mistress. If theirs is true love, doesn't Xiang Yunrou mind?"
Shen Danqing shook his head and pointed at himself.
The Dragon King: [What does that mean?]
Lin Yu: [It means that Xiang Yunrou doesn't mind and even wants Shen Danqing to be her son.]
The Princess Jingning was speechless for a while. After a long time, she said, "Danqing, you've suffered."
Shen Danqing also understood that getting information from Xiang Yunrou by himself was the best way. He nodded, enduring humiliation.
The True Man Qingyun: [Let Shen Danqing get information from Xiang Yunrou, and Shen Heqing go to ask about the secret signal.]
The Dragon King: [Right, right. This is the most important thing.]
The Dragon King: [Little cutie, stop arranging the dishes. Hurry up and tell the idiot about this so that he can go back and get the secret signal from the old hag!]
While the adults were discussing important matters, Shen Baozhu quietly slipped out of General Mu's arms.
She asked the Treasure - Hunting Mouse to take out all the food in its stomach and then arranged them neatly one by one.
When the Princess Jingning remembered Shen Baozhu, there were already dozens of dishes on the ground, and the Treasure - Hunting Mouse was still taking things out of its mouth.
Just now, the Treasure - Hunting Mouse was wearing a veil hat and it was dark, so it didn't draw much attention. General Mu's mind was on the little phoenix and he didn't notice it.
But now, seeing the Treasure - Hunting Mouse continuously taking out food from its mouth, General Mu was shocked. This mouse was not only big but could also conjure things!
The Princess Jingning immediately noticed that the amount of food was abnormal. She was sure that Shen Baozhu had caused trouble. She strode over and picked up Shen Baozhu directly.
"Baozhu, where did you get so much food? The signature dishes of the Drunken Song Tower, the roasted geese on the street, meat buns... and sugar cakes and candied haws. You've almost moved the whole Yangguan Street here!" The Princess Jingning poked Shen Baozhu's little face.
Thinking of the Fourth Prince getting a stomachache, Shen Baozhu lowered her head guiltily. "These are all for Sister Yutang. Brother Mingli bought them."
"Only the candied haws were bought by Baozhu."
Shen Heqing finally noticed something was wrong. "The pictures in the letter were drawn by Yan Mingli, and the food was bought by him too. When did Baozhu get so close to Yan Mingli?"
"Where did Yan Mingli get so much money to buy so much food?"
Hearing the topic change, Shen Baozhu, who had just been hanging her head guiltily, immediately raised her head. "Brother Mingli owns two streets. He's super rich."
"As long as Sister Yutang and Qiuqiu call him brother - in - law, he can take out a lot of silver and buy a lot of delicious food."
"It's so amazing. It's just like a magic spell of an immortal!"
The Dragon King: [It really is. As soon as the fool hears the term "brother - in - law", he takes out his money.]
Lin Yu: [He even went to the bank to withdraw money three times.]
Shen Heqing had seen the name Xu Yutang in the letter. He also knew that she was Chen Miaochun's cousin. He was just surprised by Yan Mingli. In his impression, Yan Mingli was just a young master who idled around all day and had some connections with the Drunken Song Tower. He didn't expect that the Yan family was so rich that they gave him two streets.
General Mu looked at the food all over the ground, then at the Treasure - Hunting Mouse and the little phoenix. He made up his mind that he couldn't be the only one shocked. He called the military advisor over so that he could also be shocked, no, so that he could come to enjoy the feast.
Facing Shen Baozhu, who had grown a lot, General Mu pinched his throat and asked in a "tender" voice, "Baozhu, grandfather has a good friend who is still hungry. Can grandfather call him over to eat?"
Shen Baozhu welcomed her grandfather's friend very much, just like her mother welcomed her friends. "Of course!"
After General Mu left to call his friend, Shen Baozhu got out of the Princess Jingning's arms.
She clenched her fists and said with full energy, "Grandfather is calling his good friend over. Baozhu will treat him well."
The Princess Jingning was in a good mood and deliberately joked, "How do you want to treat him, Baozhu?"
Shen Baozhu had no experience and began to think hard.
The Dragon King began to give advice: [When you invite someone to dinner, you should prepare delicious food. Fortunately, the little cutie is smart and asked Yan Mingli to buy two servings of each. Is there something missing, like a gift?]
Lin Yu: [Mingli only takes out the money. He doesn't care how much food is bought.]
The Dragon King: [How about a pearl? I can give the little cutie one today.]
Lin Yu: [Grandfather's friend here should be someone from the military camp. How about some medicine for treating injuries?]
The True Man Qingyun: [How about the Injury - Healing Pill?]
The True Man Qingyun: [Grandfather has old injuries on his body. His friend should have them too. Cut a low - grade Injury - Healing Pill in half and dissolve it in water. It can completely cure the old injuries in the body.]
The Dragon King: [The Injury - Healing Pill is good.]
Lin Yu: [I agree.]
Shen Baozhu didn't understand these things, but seeing that the Dragon King and Lin Yu thought it was good, she also nodded.
The True Man Qingyun: [I'll give it to Baozhu later.]
The Injury - Healing Pills the True Man Qingyun usually used were all top - grade or at least high - grade. He had to rummage through his storage ring to find a low - grade one.
Shen Baozhu was looking at the subtitles when Shen Heqing walked over, squatted down, and discussed with her, "Baozhu, just call grandfather 'Grandfather'."
"Okay, but why? Does grandfather like to be a bad guy?" Shen Baozhu didn't quite understand. She couldn't believe that someone would like to be a bad guy.
But since grandfather wanted to be a bad guy, she could only satisfy him.
Shen Heqing didn't understand Shen Baozhu's words either. He asked, "What bad guy?"
Shen Baozhu explained to her elder brother, "Grandfather is a bad guy. He looks down on grandfather, bullies the third brother, and even steals Master Li's ancient books. Grandfather wants to become grandfather. Isn't he trying to be a bad guy?"
"Not all grandfathers are bad guys. It's just that Baozhu is unlucky and happens to meet a bad one." Shen Heqing explained patiently.
But Shen Baozhu sighed, "Brother, have you suffered a lot? Your brain has become stupid."
"Yes. My grandfather is a bad guy. Grandfather still wants to be my grandfather. Isn't he trying to be a bad guy?"
Shen Heqing was confused by Shen Baozhu and couldn't say a word for a moment.
Shen Danqing walked over. To avoid getting confused, he didn't discuss with Shen Baozhu but directly told her, "Baozhu, grandfather likes the title 'Grandfather'. He hopes we call him that."
Shen Baozhu nodded in a daze and agreed to this request.
