Shen Qinghe's wedding came as scheduled, but the wedding seemed a bit deserted.
Xiang Jinzhu watched as Shen Qinghe was sent out of the house, and the stone in his heart fell. Most of the people who came to congratulate him were relatives and some old friends of Shen's house. Shen Hong took this opportunity to run over and watch their jokes.
Shen Zhiyi sent her to the sedan chair, only to hear the harsh words in her ears.
"Sister, now that I have married into Hengyuan Palace, don't blame me for stealing your sweetheart." Shen Qinghe's tone revealed a sense of pride, as if marrying into Hengyuan Palace was a great good thing.
Shen Qinghe stroked his belly, his face becoming more and more proud. Nowadays, a mother is more valuable than her son, and this child is her biggest bargaining chip. Now that Emperor Jing knows about the existence of his grandson, Xie Shaoheng will definitely not make fun of his son.
Last night, he asked Chuntao to go to the doctor with the medicine dregs overnight. Shen Qinghe was relieved when he heard that the medicine was not poisonous. It seemed that everything was because of his own care. No one would harm his child.
"Now that I have a child of Prince Hengyuan, I will become the respected Princess Hengyuan when I marry into Prince Hengyuan's palace. Sister, please remember to bow when you enter the palace in the future."
A hint of cunning flashed in Shen Zhiyi's eyes, and he couldn't help but sneer at Shen Qinghe's triumphant look, "Sister, you finally got what you wanted. I wish you and King Hengyuan can grow old together and be united forever."
Shen Qinghe looked at her with a trace of doubt in his eyes. She didn't know if Shen Zhiyi really accepted all this, but since she had achieved her goal, she didn't want to continue exploring.
Now that Shen Zhiyi has been stepped on by her, how can she look at her again? She throws off her sleeves and gets on the sedan chair proudly.
"At first there was a fuss about splitting up the sect, but now it has become such a joke. Brother, although your daughter is a concubine, she is too lax in her discipline."
When Shen An heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew in his heart that although Shen Hong's words were harsh, they were true.
As the daughter of a concubine, Shen Qinghe's status was already embarrassing, and now that something like this happened, it was indeed a sign of lax discipline.
However, Shen An is the person in charge of the Shen Mansion after all, and he cannot admit his mistakes easily. He smiled faintly and said: "Brother is joking. Although Qinghe's status is a bit special, she is the daughter of the Shen family after all. As parents, we naturally have a duty to discipline our children. No matter how wrong it is, it is still our family matter."
Shen Zhiyi was listening to these words from behind. She didn't blame her father for not punishing her second sister or making things difficult for her. They didn't know what Shen Qinghe had done to them, and they would never tell anyone about their rebirth.
The Shen family treated her well, but she bit back the favor.
Mrs. Shen was so angry that she gritted her teeth as she watched the sedan chair land in front of Prince Hengyuan's palace. Luo Shi was almost dying, and no amount of rouge on her face could cover her exhaustion.
"Hmph, now the second room has taken advantage of it. If Shen Hong were you and Xuan Wan..."
"Mom!" Shen Hong shouted, quickly stopping her from continuing.
There are so many people here, and if what happened back then was discovered, they would definitely not be able to live with it! In Mrs. Shen's eyes, she only saw that Shen Qinghe had married into Prince Hengyuan's palace and was the concubine of the palace!
Although she is a concubine, if King Hengyuan ascends the throne one day, then the Shen family will be the true relatives of the emperor! This kind of improvement in status is more practical than anything else.
Everyone knew it, and they didn't say it, but they all had their own plans in their hearts. In such a family, who wouldn’t want to go a step further and fly up a branch and become a phoenix?
It's a pity that it wasn't them who flew up onto the branch.
"If you want me to see you, just recognize Qinghe back."
Luo Mei listened without a word. Mrs. Shen saw that Luo Mei was loyal and followed her words and deeds. Mrs. Shen did not shy away from her, but the more she listened, the more strange she became. What on earth did Shen Qinghe have with her husband? Related?
When Mrs. Shen saw that Shen Hong was silent, she wisely shut her mouth and changed the subject: "Mr. Sheng still refuses to come back? Her natal family has long since moved to Jiangnan. Please say a few nice words to coax her. We can't let her be like this." Lawless!”
"Mom," Luo Mei was not happy when she heard this. She finally let Sheng Pan go away, and she was about to take the position of eldest lady. She must not let Sheng Yuan come back again!
"As Shen Hong's concubine, you should look after your husband's family at all times. The first day the eldest lady has not signed the contract and the day she has left the letter, she is Shen Hong's wife."
Now it is only announced that the eldest lady will visit relatives at her parents' home in two days. Her son Shen Hezhi is here. Is Sheng Yuan willing to leave?
Among those sitting in the main hall, the concubine of King Hengyuan never looked at Shen Qinghe once. A concubine was pregnant before marriage. If word spread to their family, it would be a joke.
If it weren't for the sake of Emperor Jing... But she might have forgotten that there is a common method in the harem, to remove the mother and keep the son. Staying like her in the Hengyuan Palace would simply be an insult to their family.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the wedding and remembered the appearance of the previous life in his mind, but this time it was Shen Qinghe who stepped into the abyss.
Seeing that Shen Qinghe was still preparing for her to marry into the palace and become a concubine that everyone respected, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart when she looked at the scene in front of her.
Shen Zhiyi smiled slightly, but she was not in a hurry to take action. She knew that in order to completely destroy a person, she must first float in the clouds and then suddenly fall down.
Now that you have entered Prince Hengyuan's Mansion, I have to hurry up. If I wait until you give birth to the child, one dead person will not be enough to involve Prince Hengyuan's Mansion.
Shen Zhiyun sat next to her. They were the Shen family's natal family anyway, so they still had to go out to see Shen Qinghe off. He looked at the bride's face with some inexplicable scrutiny, her face was gloomy, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Sister, this Xie Shaoheng doesn't take our Shen family seriously. Tsk, it's really unlucky."
Shen Zhiyi held the corner of his clothes and tried to persuade him: "Brother, don't be angry. Now that Qinghe is gone, there are only you and me, brother and sister, in the house. Isn't it unclean?" Then she moved her body next to him, " Now that Qinghe has married into Prince Hengyuan's palace, any outrageous things she does will have nothing to do with our Shen family, so why should my brother be angry?"
Shen Zhiyun felt that she was right. He had disliked her mother back then. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Qinghe was still young and could not survive being left in the wilderness, Shen Zhiyun would not have been willing to accept this sister.
I also sent people to Yangzhou to inquire. Except that Xuan Wan was a prostitute, there was no news about the others. However, recently someone was also investigating Xuan Wan's life experience.
She obviously didn't know about the test of Shen Qinghe on the carriage that day, but if there was any doubt about Xuan Wan's life experience, she might have left some token on Shen Qinghe.
"It's a good thing that you didn't marry into the Hengyuan Mansion," Shen Zhiyun turned to her and said, "King Hengyuan is not reliable. It's a good thing that you stopped having any illusions about him."
If Shen Zhiyi jumped out that day, the Shen family would definitely be pushed to the forefront, and the Shen family would definitely not have an easy time. After this incident, I must have realized that Xie Shaoheng is not a good match. He seems to be a plain and elegant person, but in fact he is an unruly and libertine.
Such people are the most terrifying.
Shen Zhiyi lowered her head and thought deeply. She knew that her elder brother's worry was not unreasonable. If she had not experienced the betrayal in her previous life, she might still be kept in the dark if she were to do it again in this life.
"Brother, don't worry, Zhiyi has grown up, I will naturally handle this situation."
Shen Zhiyi watched Shen Qinghe step into the door of Hengyuan Prince's Mansion. She knew in her heart that the game of chess had been laid out, and now all that was left was for a few key pieces to fall and a dragnet would be formed to catch them all.
Shen Zhiyun said nothing, suddenly feeling that her sister was not simple. Compared with Shen Qinghe's domineering attitude, Shen Zhiyi is more like a silent mountain, stable and solid.
