Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Chapter 272 Lord Jiang is found

"What task have I assigned you?" Old Madam Shen sat upright on the armchair, staring at Shen Jingwan in front of her with sharp eyes.

Shen Jingwan said coquettishly, "Or maybe it's because grandma loves Wan'er the most. She only cares about Wan'er and forgets about other people's affairs once they are mentioned."

She walked lightly to the side of Old Madam Shen and snuggled up to her obediently.

Madam Shen frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What on earth are you talking about, girl?"

Shen Jingwan chuckled and lowered her voice, "It's about Sixth Brother. Didn't Grandmother ask Wan'er to bring Sixth Brother and the Sixth Princess together and speak well of Sixth Brother in front of the Sixth Princess?"

Hearing this, Madam Shen's originally tense expression instantly relaxed, replaced by a faint smile.

She gently took Shen Jingwan's hand and asked, "Have you ever mentioned Cheng Liu to the Sixth Princess?"

Shen Jingwan quickly nodded and replied, "Of course. How could Wan'er neglect what Grandmother arranged? These past few days, Wan'er has been constantly praising Sixth Brother in front of the Sixth Princess. She's almost worn out from her words."

As she spoke, she deliberately put on an aggrieved look.

However, in fact, during this period of time when she went to the princess's mansion, she didn't even have the chance to say a few words to Xiao Jinhuan, let alone mention Shen Chengliu.

But faced with Mrs. Shen's earnest inquiries, she could only give a perfunctory answer.

Madam Shen tightly grasped Shen Jingwan's wrist and asked impatiently, "Then tell Grandmother quickly, what is the princess's impression of Cheng Liu?"

Shen Jingwan tightly grasped Old Lady Shen's hand and whispered, "The Sixth Princess was so angry that her face turned red. She said that if I dared to mention Sixth Brother in front of her again, she would never allow Wan'er to play with her again."

After saying that, she lowered her head, seeming a little aggrieved and sad.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen couldn't help but frown and said worriedly, "Alas, it seems I was too impatient! I originally wanted to promote the good relationship between Cheng Liu and the princess, but now not only has it failed, but it has also delayed you. Is it because you, a little girl, don't know your limits and speak inappropriately?"

Shen Jingwan quickly raised her head, shook her head, and explained, "Grandmother, think about it. The Sixth Princess is a girl after all, and she's shy. Of course, she'd feel shy if you kept mentioning other men in front of her. However, although Wan'er may have said a little too much, it was actually intentional. This way, Sixth Brother has planted the seed in the Sixth Princess' heart. And this time, the Sixth Princess took the initiative to come back to Wan'er, which means that she must have a place for Sixth Brother in her heart, so she chose to compromise."

When Mrs. Shen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly asked, "Is that really the case?"

Shen Jingwan nodded heavily, a faint smile on her face, but then she sighed softly and continued, "Wan'er has even disregarded her own future in order to help Sixth Brother. Grandmother, you are blaming Wan'er..."

Speaking of this, Shen Jingwan's eyes turned slightly red and her voice became a little choked.

Seeing her granddaughter like this, Old Lady Shen panicked and quickly took Shen Jingwan's hand to comfort her: "Oh, it's all Grandma's fault. I shouldn't have suspected you so recklessly. I have wronged you, a child who is wholeheartedly thinking about the family. Grandma is really ashamed!"

She thought to herself that having Princess Cheng Liushang be the icing on the cake was just icing on the cake, and Shen Jingwan's life was more important!

"Let's put Cheng Liu's matter aside for now. I heard you say before that the Imperial Concubine asked you to help prepare for the Third Prince's return to the capital. How is the progress now?" Old Lady Shen asked with concern.

Hearing this, Shen Jingwan suddenly stopped talking.

"This……"

In fact, she just made up this excuse when she started to go to the princess's mansion frequently.

Now, how could she explain the details of the situation clearly? For a moment, she seemed a little at a loss.

However, Madam Shen was a thoughtful person. Seeing her granddaughter's expression, she took it upon herself to smooth things over for her: "Grandmother, you understand. This matter is of great importance, and we must be cautious. Besides, walls have ears, so some things are indeed inconvenient to discuss in detail. Grandmother, I will not ask any more questions."

"Granddaughter has one more request for grandmother."

"what's up?"

Shen Jingwan lowered her voice and said, "Right now, the Third Prince's return to the capital requires a powerful leader. As long as someone takes the lead in bringing this up, the officials below will immediately respond with support. Wan'er has already made all the arrangements. So, I hope that Grandmother can persuade Grandfather to stand up and support the Third Prince's return to the capital."

Speaking of this, Shen Jingwan's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

She secretly thought in her heart that if Shen Huaizhong could agree to help the Third Prince speak, then this would undoubtedly become a token of her allegiance to the Third Prince.

Once it is accomplished, when she successfully marries the third prince, she will surely ascend the throne of queen in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingwan couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster, as if a bright future was just around the corner.

Moreover, Shen Huaizhong is the prime minister of the current dynasty. As long as he takes the initiative, his subordinates will naturally respond like a tide, and all the credit will fall on him alone.

At this moment, Old Madam Shen suddenly frowned and said with a look of worry, "Your grandfather didn't even bother with those tiresome factional disputes, so how could he possibly get involved in this extremely dangerous battle for the throne?"

Hearing this, Shen Jingwan smiled slightly and calmly began to persuade: "Grandmother, think about it carefully. Although everyone shouts 'Long live our emperor', how can His Majesty really live to be a thousand years old? One day, a prince will inherit the throne! If Sixth Brother marries the Sixth Princess, and I successfully marry the Third Prince, then our Shen family and the Third Prince's faction will become a real family! In this case, how can we not help our own family but help outsiders instead?"

"Oh? From what you said, the imperial concubine is very satisfied with you?" A hint of surprise flashed in Old Lady Shen's eyes, and she asked hurriedly.

Shen Jingwan did not answer the question directly, but lowered her head slightly, then took a deep breath secretly, and then began to hold her breath hard.

Soon, the originally fair face turned red.

In Mrs. Shen's opinion, her granddaughter looked like this because she had hit the nail on the head and that was why she was shy.

So, she gently patted Shen Jingwan's little hand and said softly, "Wan'er, be good, just relax. Grandma will persuade your grandfather about this matter."

Hearing this, Shen Jingwan was overjoyed and quickly bowed down and thanked him repeatedly.
