Everyone in the capital knew that he and Shen Qian had been at odds since childhood, let alone her.
At first, he only told her the news about his trip to Jiangnan, but he was ambushed on the way. When he came back, she married Shen Qian...
In his eyes, he had already determined that it was her betrayal and that she had exchanged his life for the position of the Crown Princess of the Hou Mansion.
Shen Zhan has misunderstood her for two years, and she should no longer be sad about this matter.
The most important thing right now is my aunt's illness.
Song Yu rubbed her eyes and said, "Chuntao, stop crying and help me clean up quickly. If I don't show my face at the old lady's birthday party, I will be pinched again."
After hurriedly sorting things out, Song Yu took Chuntao to Fushou Hall.
Two years ago, on her wedding day to Shen Qian, the Holy Father suddenly issued an order to urgently summon the old marquis and Shen Qian to go to the border to defend against the enemy.
After leaving, there was no trace of Shen Qian's body, and the old Marquis was seriously injured and fell into a stupor.
Therefore, in the past two years, the old lady's birthday banquet has either not been held, or it has only been held at the Marquis's house.
This year, because Shen Zhan was promoted to the position of Chief Assistant, the Hou Mansion finally had someone to rely on after two years of downturn, so the old lady decided to hold a grand event.
Before entering, I could hear the Fushou Hall being lively and peaceful.
Song Yu was not welcome at all, and she was pretending to be worried. As soon as she entered the door, she lowered her head and walked to the end of the banquet.
However, people who were interested still saw it.
The man was already standing in front of her, and she couldn't avoid it, so she had no choice but to be blessed.
"My aunt is also here to celebrate her birthday. I think my grandma must be very happy today."
Shen Qin held the hairpin on his head and rolled his eyes at her.
"No matter what nonsense you say, my grandmother is naturally happy to see her granddaughter. But you, after staying in the Marquis Mansion for so long, don't you really think that you are a member of the Shen family?"
Shen Qin is the eldest daughter of the Hou family. She has been pampered since she was a child and has always spoken freely.
"As soon as I entered the house, my family was destroyed. If I were you, I would have buried my husband with three feet of white silk!"
The maid on the side was not surprised, and also showed disdain on her face.
Chuntao was extremely angry, but Song Yu lowered her eyes without even raising her head.
"You are nothing compared to my eldest aunt. Everyone knows that you and your eldest uncle have the deepest friendship. You are truly a model couple."
The compliment came so unexpectedly that Shen Qin was stunned.
Model couple?
But looking around the capital, no one knew that she, Shen Qin, was married to a lecherous man and spent all day hanging out with women.
But she wasn't someone who could bear it. The two of them had a fight every three days and every five days. When did their love stop?
Before she could recover, Song Yu had already left with Chuntao.
After the person walked away, she finally figured it out, and she was so angry that she pointed at Song Yu's back and cursed.
"Who is she? A Sangmen star dares to bite the back of my tongue?!"
"Auntie, be careful what you say!"
The maid didn't dare to watch the show anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him to stop.
"There are many distinguished guests coming to the Marquis Mansion today, but we must not let outsiders see the joke!"
Shen Qin was so angry that she was coaxed and persuaded by the maid to receive the female family members.
After sitting down, Chuntao felt happy when she remembered Shen Qin's ugly expression just now.
But she couldn't help but worry, "Miss, my aunt just got angry. What will you do if she gives you a hard time after the banquet is over?"
"In the past, I was tolerant, but she often made things difficult for me. This was going to happen anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Almost everyone in the Marquis's residence was angry with her about the border issues, and they never needed a reason to embarrass her.
She was just an unpopular concubine in the Song Dynasty. She had no father or brother to rely on, so she always tolerated things as much as she could.
But today, first I received the news that my mother was seriously ill, and then I was slandered by Shen Zhan.
She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and she couldn't bear it any longer.
The guests gradually arrived, and the banquet became more and more lively.
The female relatives of Beifu either didn't recognize Song Yu, or they knew that her status was embarrassing, but in short, no one came to greet her.
Song Yu was happy and free.
She showed up at the banquet just to cooperate with the old lady to show face to the entire Marquis House and not to let others laugh at her.
After a while, the outside suddenly became lively, and many people walked out one after another.
Song Yu sent Chuntao to find an angry little maid to inquire.
Soon, Chuntao came back with an ugly face.
"Miss, they said that the chief of Changle County was playing the piano in the back garden to celebrate the old lady's birthday. And... they also asked the second master to join her in a concert to entertain her."
