The Queen Mother immediately said to the Crown Princess, "Later, I will beat everyone in this palace. Don't say anything that shouldn't be said. Don't spread these things to the Queen Mother's ears."
The Empress Dowager's natal family is the Cheng'en Palace, and the person Princess Changrong remarried is none other than the Queen Mother's nephew, the eldest son of the Cheng'en Palace, who is also one of Sheng'er's companions. .
At the beginning, Emperor Longqing chose four companions for his son, and finally selected four people from a group of relatives of the emperor and powerful officials.
Two of them come from the old noble families who followed Taizu to conquer the world, namely Xu Zhijun of Xinchanghou Mansion and Shen Tingjun of Wuanhou Mansion; among the newly rising powerful officials, they chose Liang Haosheng, the eldest son of Taifu Liang; and among the clan in-laws , Emperor Longqing chose Wei Mingqian, the nephew of the Queen Mother.
In addition to Princess Changrong who grew up in the palace, these five children always played together because they were similar in age. When they were taught by the masters, Changrong had nothing to do and followed them to study.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
But who would have thought that Princess Changrong married Shen Tingjun earlier, and then remarried Shen Tingjun's best friend Wei Mingqian after they reconciled. Now that she and Wei Mingqian have reconciled, she wants to marry Shen Tingjun again.
This complicated relationship keeps getting messed up and messed up, which makes the Queen's head confused.
Because of this, the Queen Mother said that Princess Changrong treated marriage as a child's play, and she was not wrong at all.
Just because she later remarried Wei Mingqian, the relationship between them that had been so good earlier was suddenly shattered.
Liang Haosheng and Xu Zhijun were not ashamed of Wei Mingqian and even snatched his friend's wife. They complained about Shen Tingjun and directly fought with Wei Mingqian. Although the few people have not severed their relationship, the sight of them now being separated from each other is quite depressing.
Also because Wei Mingqian married Princess Changrong, Sheng'er criticized him a lot. Even the emperor felt that Mingqian had done this unkindly, and the courtiers felt that Duke Cheng'en was treacherous and not someone to befriend.
Just because he married Princess Changrong, Wei Mingqian had all his reputation and career in it.
If he and Princess Changrong could live happily together till old age, maybe even that kind of loss could be said to be "worth it". However, the two had been together for ten years and had two children, but Princess Changrong divorced again and wanted to go back and marry Shen Tingjun again.
Just say that this matter is trivial or not, absurd or not?
Anyway, the Queen Empress didn’t know what Changrong was thinking. Sometimes she got so angry that she wanted to pry open Changrong’s head to see what she was trying to figure out all day long.
Because of her, Wei Mingqian became a joke in the capital, and Duke Cheng'en's Palace and Marquis Wu'an Palace almost became enemies. When things have reached this stage, instead of trying to calm things down, they are adding fuel to the fire. Evergreen is really a troublemaker.
The Queen's heart was heaving with anger. When the Crown Princess saw it, she quickly came over and smoothed the Queen's chest.
The queen waved her hand and told the princess to sit next to her and rest.
She had to listen carefully to how shameless Changrong could be. Is this really the girl she raised? Has her etiquette, justice and shame been learned from a dog? The queen fell into doubt.
In that palace, Shen Tingjun couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard Princess Changrong mention Wangyue Tower.
Changrong does things with uncompromising means. If he knew that it was Sang Nianyue who was enjoying the snow and eating with him that day, she would probably never have peace again.
Fortunately, Wangyue Tower is the property of Wu'an Hou Mansion, and the shopkeeper knows what to say and what not to say. If Evergreen wants to find people through this method, it may be impossible.
This was indeed the case. Changrong became more and more anxious precisely because he had not been able to find the woman.
Originally, she didn't believe the so-called rumors on the street.
Shen Tingjun was a very boring person. She had been married to him for a year, and the two of them spent very little time dining at the same table. Other things such as thrushing eyebrows in the boudoir, playing the piano and playing with the moon, and adding fragrance to red sleeves, these things have never happened before.
Therefore, when Chuchu heard someone say that Shen Tingjun invited a beautiful young girl to watch the scenery and have a meal at Wangyue Tower on the night of falling snow, Princess Changrong didn't believe it.
But then another rumor spread, saying that the previous news must be true, because Liang Haosheng, the eldest son of Taifu Liang, personally confirmed it.
Princess Changrong had to face up to this matter, but it was too late to investigate at this time. She sent people to Wangyue Tower to look for him, but no one could tell whether there was such a person. She was so pushy that the waiter said, "I just remember that the Marquis did come to have dinner that day, but he was alone."
She couldn't ask anything, but her intuition told her that the woman who made Shen Tingjun look at her differently did exist.
But how is this possible?
She divorced again because of him, and even left a pair of children behind. She ran after him, even losing her face and body. If she couldn't achieve what she wanted in the end, how could she be willing to do so?
Unfortunately, Shen Tingjun was never a man she could control. This man's heart was as cold as iron, and she couldn't impress him just by crying or making a fuss.
Shen Tingjun's voice became colder, and now it had the smell of warning. He looked down at her condescendingly and said mercilessly: "Changrong, I'll save you some face. This matter ends here. If you continue to pester me in the future, don't blame me for making things right."
Princess Changrong covered her cheeks and began to cry, "Tingjun, how could you do this to me? I already knew I was wrong, why not? But my father's death really wasn't..."
"Shut up." Shen Tingjun suddenly burst into anger, his expression as cold as a polar iceberg. "Evergreen, this is my last warning to you, don't let me hear a word about my father from your mouth again!"
Shen Tingjun's anger came quickly and fiercely. This gloomy warning not only made Princess Changrong lose her composure and made her burp in fright. It also frightened Gong'e who was guarding the door and made them unable to hold back. Shrinking her neck; even the princess in the palace next door couldn't help shaking her body, with a blank expression on her face.
After saying those words, Shen Tingjun stepped out of the palace without looking at Princess Changrong again.
He didn't come over to ask for his resignation from the Queen. He seemed to have forgotten about it, and it seemed that his mind was completely occupied by other things and he couldn't care about it at all.
In the side hall, the Crown Princess looked at the empress with a sigh on her face, and couldn't help but ask, "How come Marquis Shen and Changrong are still involved in the relationship with Marquis Xianwu An?"
Her face was full of curiosity, but the Queen didn't want to mention this past incident. Because the life of Marquis Xianwu An was involved, Shen Tingjun would never agree to remarry Changrong even if he died. No matter what Changrong did, it would just be a loss of face and let others do it.
But this was really an accident of fate. The blame is on Changrong for not taking the responsibility. The blame is on her having a bad idea first, so that she made one wrong step after another, and finally came to this point where there is no way to end. situation.
The Empress patted the Crown Princess's hand and sighed softly, "It's all old stuff, so don't mention it... The old lady of Wu'an Hou Mansion doesn't know about this yet, and it was Changrong who let it slip today... …Shut up and don’t let this matter get out.”
The princess said "yes", bowed, and went out to deal with the aftermath.
The queen was left thinking about the past, and couldn't help but sigh.
Although Marquis Xianwu'an had mediocre qualifications, he was definitely a loving father. He was different from Shen Tingjun after all, but because of Changrong, he entered death.
With such a life in between, how could Changrong dare to marry back to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion?
I know it's impossible.
Shen Tingjun's face was clouded that day, and his whole body was filled with low pressure. Anyone who walked within three meters of him was shocked by Shen Hou's corrupt mood today, and they were trembling when talking to him.
Shen Tingjun's bad mood continued until the night came to an end, but as the night fell and the patter of spring rain fell, Shen Tingjun's originally slightly relaxed expression became condensed again.
Cheng Lin drove the carriage towards the Hou Mansion, but Shen Tingjun got off the carriage midway.
"Master, aren't you going back now?"
"You go back first, I'll go to Willow Alley."
Liushu Hutong is where Sang's house is located. Cheng Lin couldn't help but blink when he thought of the woman in that house.
The Marquis really likes this cousin girl very much. From the first meeting, we can see some traces of her deeds. Now that he has got his wish, the Marquis does not want to go back home but only wants to have the warm fragrance of Nephrite in his arms. Cheng Lin also understands it very well.
But it's still raining outside. If the Marquis gets wet...
But before Cheng Lin had time to say anything more, he saw that the figure of the Marquis had disappeared into the vast night.
Sang Nianyue was having dinner with her younger brother in the flower hall at this time. Today, she was busy with her younger brother's enrollment. The two siblings seemed to have something on their minds and were both very happy.
Tonight, I specially asked my servants to prepare a few extra dishes to celebrate, so today's dinner was eaten a little later.
On the table, Sang Nuanyue taught her younger brother the experience of studying in a private school.
In fact, where did she get her experience? She had never attended a private school, so she didn't know the unspoken rules at all. But my brother Fuyue had studied in a private school for a few months before, so my brother's experience could be put to use for the time being.
Sang Nuanyue yelled at her younger brother, and Qing'er, who originally thought she would be a fish in water in the private school, suddenly became unsure.
Looking at her younger brother's confused expression, Sang Nuanyue suddenly thought, had she mistaken her disciple?
With such an uneasy mood, Sang Nuanyue returned to her room holding an oil-paper umbrella.
As soon as she entered the room, Sang Nuanyue sensitively sensed something was wrong.
She looked towards the beauty's couch and saw that Shen Tingjun had come over at some point and was lying on the beauty's couch taking a nap.
His hair was slightly damp, and his clothes must have been wet by the rain. He looked a little embarrassed.
Hearing the door open, Shen Tingjun opened his eyes and sat up, frowning and asked her, "Why did it take so long?"
Sang Nuanyue felt depressed and didn't want to talk to him.
She just had a meal, how long did it take?
Furthermore, last night he was invited but he didn't come, and today he came uninvited. Did Shen Hou really regard Sang House as his Wu'an Hou Mansion?
There were a lot of complaints in her heart, but after all, she had something to ask for, and Sang Nianyue didn't dare to show her displeasure at all.
This was also the first time she saw Shen Tingjun without falling asleep. Now that the lights were bright, he was sitting not far away waiting for her to approach. This scene was so dreamy that it made it difficult for Sang Nianyue to move forward.
Taking this step seems to have crossed the moral gap.
She could hang out with him in the dark night, but under this frightening candlelight, she only felt that her own nastiness and shame were nowhere to be seen.
Sang Nuanyue's footsteps stopped in place, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
Shen Tingjun witnessed all the changes in her expression with his own eyes and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. All her thoughts were written on her face. Even if he couldn't guess ten points, he could still guess seven or eight points.
Afraid of him? Surrendered to secular ethics? Don't want to be near him?
Don’t even think about it!
Shen Tingjun got off the beauty's bed, walked to Sang Nuanyue in a few steps, grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.
The bright candlelight illuminated every inch of the room, and the two hugged each other tightly. The distance was so close that Sang Nunyue, who was close, could even count the number of eyelashes on his eyelids.
She suddenly became uncomfortable and struggled to jump down. Shen Tingjun chuckled softly: "If you move again, I will take action."
This was an absolute threat, and he could indeed do it, because his big palms were already on Sang Nuanyue's hips.
Sang Ningyue's face is red, her ears are red, and she is angry and ashamed. It can be seen that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Although she is not a handsome girl, she is a little girl who knows the current affairs. She would not do something that she knew was wrong. That would be asking for trouble.
Sang Nuanyue immediately closed her eyes, lowered her head and buried it in his neck.
Shen Tingjun seemed to regret her lack of knowledge, and in the end he could only rub her buttocks twice in dissatisfaction. Sang Nuanyue was suddenly attacked, and she straightened up immediately, but because she was worried that she would fall, she quickly hugged his neck. She was not angry or angry. In the end, she could only say feebly, "I didn't even move, why did you return……"
However, Shen Tingjun hoarse his voice and rubbed it hard a few more times. With restrained emotion and desire, he forced himself to endure and said, "I really can't help it."
He took her foot and touched it lightly. Sang Nuoyue felt like she was being burned, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
The two of them sat down on the beauty's couch in a very inelegant posture. Sang Nuanyue wanted to go aside, but Shen Tingjun held her tightly and refused to let go. Sang Nuanyue felt really uncomfortable, so she rubbed and rubbed, "You're all wet..."
"Stop moving...I haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to give me dinner?"
Sang Nuanyue was completely honest and didn't dare to move again. However, most of his clothes were wet. Whether it was out of distress or other emotions, Sang Nianyue asked him to go to the inner room to take a bath first while she arranged meals for him.
Shen Tingjun looked at her with a heavy gaze, which made Sang Nianyue feel uneasy and wanted to run away again.
This time Shen Tingjun finally let go of her, and as soon as he got off the bed, Sang Nuanyue shouted to Su Jin to come in. He asked her to prepare hot water, and asked her to prepare some dinner; and... Sang Nianyue stood on tiptoe and gave a few instructions in Sujin's ear, and Sujin nodded in agreement.
Before leaving the house, Su Jin could not help but look up at Marquis Wu An, who was sitting on the beauty's couch.
Marquis Wu'an, who has a tall and straight figure, even wears court clothes, which further accentuates his cold and handsome face and his solemn and solemn person. But he was sitting among the flowers, still sitting so calmly, Su Jin suddenly didn't know what to say.
She didn't say anything else, turned and left.
The hot water was prepared and was quickly brought in by Su Jin.
Su Jin knew clearly in her heart that the matter between the girl and Wu Anhou was shady. Only she and Su Xin knew about it. If one more person knew about it, there would be more risks of exposure. For the sake of the girl's future, this possibility must be eliminated as much as possible.
After the hot water was ready, Su Jin was busy with other things.
When Shen Tingjun entered the inner room, he called Sang Nuanyue to come in.
Sang Nuanyue turned a deaf ear and made her own bed.
Shen Tingjun said bluntly, "Why don't you come in and wait for me to invite you?"
Think about the scene of Shen Tingjun walking into the house naked, no, it's very eye-catching.
Sang Ningyue angrily threw the handkerchief on the bed, turned around and walked towards the clean room.
Can't you take a shower by yourself? Why should I let her accompany me?
The clean room is not big, and the mist drifts out little by little, making the place feel like a psychedelic dream. Sang Nuanyue took the towel on the shelf nearby and wanted to wipe his back, but as soon as she stepped forward, she was pulled into the tub by him without even seeing the muscle lines on his back.
By the time the two came out of the clean room, it was already an hour later.
Sang Nuanyue stared blankly at the sky, not knowing that she could still act like this. She slapped Shen Tingjun's chest several times in annoyance, and wanted to bite him in anger.
Shen Tingjun allowed her to make trouble, but after putting her on the bed, he asked, "Do you still have the strength?"
Sang Nuanyue turned around very spinelessly, buried herself in the quilt, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Su Jin's knock came from outside, "Girl, should the food be placed in the flower hall, or delivered directly to the house?"
Sang Nuanyue looked at the figure who was getting dressed, pulled the quilt and said in a mute voice, "Bring her to the room."
She asked Su Jin to buy the clothes outside. The clothes were the dark black color that he always wore, so he should like them. It's just that the fabric is not as valuable as the fabric in the Hou Mansion, and I don't know whether Shen Tingjun is used to wearing it.
Thinking of these messy things in her mind, Sang Nuoyue was slow for a moment before she froze when she spoke - why did her voice sound like this?
Did they make a lot of noise just now? Did you hear any noise outside?
Sang Nuanyue suddenly became anxious when she thought of some possibility.
Shen Tingjun walked straight over. He was already dressed, only his hair was wet. He took Sang Nuoyue out and said in a lazy tone: "Get up and have dinner with me."
"I've eaten it, but I don't want to eat it."
"You can't stay with me? Or do you want to continue lying in bed?" His eyes were meaningful, and it was obvious that he was not well-intentioned. Sang Nianyue quickly gave in, "I'll come down to stay with you."
But she was naked, and the quilt slid down as soon as she sat up.
Sang Nuanyue was thin-skinned. Even though the two of them did intimate things and saw what they should see, she just felt ashamed and awkward at this moment.
She blushed and said, "Are you turning your back?"
"Do you have any clothes?" Shen Tingjun had enough time to ask.
Sang Ningyue gritted her teeth angrily, "... Could you please help me get some clothes from the Marquis?"
"It's not impossible."
Shen Tingjun chuckled and opened her closet door and found a complete set of clothes for her to wear.
Sang Nuanyue endured the shame and watched him rummaging through her closet. It didn't matter to her whether he looked through the hanging coats any way he wanted, but there was a wardrobe where all the coats were hanging, and the drawers below were full of all kinds of small clothes.
Let him pick and choose among those clothes, pick up this one and put down that one with his slender fingers, watch him look at the clothes curiously, then look back at her...
Sang Nuanyue was so ashamed and angry that she buried her head in her knees, unwilling to look up at anyone.
Finally, Shen Houfa kindly handed over the clothes he had chosen. Sang Nianyue didn't dare to babble any more and quickly put on her clothes. At this time, I no longer care whether I am ashamed or not. Only by putting on clothes can the feeling of being invisible disappear.
It's like having clothes, she has armor, which can be indestructible.
The two of them sat down at the round table. Sang Nuoyue had indeed eaten a lot before, but her physical exertion was a bit heavy from the activities just now, so she picked up the bowl of bird's nest soup that Su Jin had prepared for her, and she couldn't finish a single bite. He scoffed.
As for Shen Tingjun, Shen Hou seemed to have a good appetite. He seemed to be eating elegantly, but he was eating very quickly. Or maybe he was really hungry. He ate all the dishes on the table in a short time.
Seeing that he finally put down his chopsticks, Sang Nuanyue handed him a cup of tea for digestion. Shen Tingjun glanced at her, took it, sat down on the Grand Master's chair, and said as he should: "Come here and twist my hair."
His hair was wet, all tied up in a crown, and some of the ends were still dripping when he unwrapped it.
Sang Nuanyue stood behind him with a flat mouth, holding a handkerchief and twisting his hair patiently and carefully.
During this period, she couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, you told me that day that you sent people to the medical clinic to investigate things. What were they investigating?"
Shen Tingjun said casually: "Didn't you guess everything?"
Sang Nuanyue paused for a moment. At this time, she was filled with anxiety. She wanted to rush to Shen Tingjun immediately and ask what was going on, but she had not figured out Shen Tingjun's temper yet, so she did not dare to be too presumptuous for a while.
I could only suppress my curiosity and ask slowly, "Is it about checking my traditional Chinese medicine? Check the source of the medicine, and who bought the medicine?"
Shen Tingjun said "hmm" obediently, and Sang Nianyue became more concerned and said softly: "Has the Marquis found out?"
"Found it."
Sang Nuanyue finally couldn't hold it in any longer and turned from behind him to face him. She wrung her fingers and looked at Shen Tingjun, and said anxiously: "Then can Mr. Hou tell me the truth?"
Shen Tingjun looked at her straight like this, seeing that she was cautious in front of him, seeing that she was nervous and awkward, restless and anxious, and gave him a very vivid interpretation of what it means to be "restless and restless".
Shen Tingjun felt so pity in his heart that he pulled her over and sat her on his lap.
"Who harmed you? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
Sang Nuanyue let him hold her, let him play with her fingers as he pleased, let him follow her hair, and smell the subtle body fragrance on her shoulders and neck.
She shuddered a little, but when she thought of the culprit who had harmed her, she immediately put all the affection between her children behind her. This was still the most important thing now.
