Shen Dingzhu was stunned again and again, then sat next to him and became slightly distracted.
Her long, thickly curled eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time, and even her fingertips tightened the hem of her blouse.
Xiao Langyan looked sideways and frowned: "What kind of expression is this? Do you still want to say you are dissatisfied?"
Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes with a timid expression: "Your Majesty wants to send me outside to be an outhouse, which is even more shameful than the first room. Why don't you allow me to feel sad for a moment?"
"Outer room?" Xiao Langyan curled his thin lips and sneered twice, "This is really stupid. You will know when the time comes."
The carriage drove into a quiet wide alley. Shen Dingzhu lifted the curtain, revealing half of his pretty face, and peeked outside. It was okay not to look, but when he saw the scene outside, his heart began to beat.
She murmured to herself: "How does it look so much like Gu'an Lane..."
The carriage stopped in front of a spacious mansion. The stone lions and plaques outside the door were removed, and only the closed rosewood door with broad beams could be seen outside.
On the slanting eaves, pieces of black tiles are illuminated by the sun. Even if the owner of the mansion is now in decline, the white walls and brand-new door nails tell the story of the prosperity of the past.
Shen Dingzhu got off the carriage and looked at his former home, feeling stunned.
Her delicate body stood like a beautiful silhouette in the passing autumn wind. She remained motionless, like a stone pillar.
This is the mansion that the Shen family used to have before they were convicted.
After the house was confiscated, all the properties and properties of the Shen family were confiscated. This mansion and other properties were auctioned by the court and the one with the highest price got it.
Xiao Langyan came over and half-armed her thin shoulders: "Go in and take a look. You must be familiar with this place."
Shen Dingzhu followed his steps, and there was already a man wearing a long skirt standing under the door. When he saw Xiao Langyan and the others arrived, he walked over quickly with a flattering smile.
"I would like to pay my respects to the prince. This is a signed deed, and there are a few keys. I have brought them with me."
Xiao Langyan did not check the land deed and pointed to the door: "Just open the door. I sent someone to ask you to clean the courtyard before. Is it okay?"
Yaren was hunched over, barely daring to stand up and speak, and smiled compensatingly: "Go back to the prince, how can I not help you handle what you gave me? Everything is packed inside, and you can move here at any time if you want." "
With that said, he opened the door. When the heavy door opened and the familiar shadow wall of the sea of clouds and Xiangyun appeared in front of him, Shen Dingzhu was reluctant to blink.
When she was dragged out of her home by the officers and soldiers, she never thought that she would be able to return here one day. Even in her previous life, she was pampered and became a noble concubine, and she never set foot in the sad place where her family was destroyed.
Ya Ren talked endlessly about the advantages of the house. It was spacious inside and outside, with three entrances and three exits, and a nine-curved corridor running through the house.
Xu Shi didn't know Shen Dingzhu's identity. When talking about Feng Shui, Yaren smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, you should know that the previous owner of this house was Mr. Shen who was driven to Mobei. His entire family was confiscated. Exiled, Feng Shui is really hard to say.”
"But when it comes to the population, this house is very prosperous." He glanced at Shen Dingzhu intentionally, "The Shen family is prosperous. When the house was raided, there were nearly two hundred people. If the prince were here, If we stay here for a few days occasionally, we will surely have some fun soon!"
Shen Dingzhu was silent and looked at the yard distractedly, while Xiao Langyan glanced at Yaren, and the guard Chen Heng immediately scolded: "There are no rules. The prince has not yet married, how can he be happy to have a baby!"
Yaren was startled. He saw Prince Ning coming with a beauty, and even paid a lot of money to take pictures of the mansion from them. He thought he was trying to make the beauty smile.
That's why he went to talk about having children. Who would have thought that he said the wrong thing? He hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and slapped himself twice: "I made a mistake for a moment, please forgive me."
Xiao Langyan ignored him and turned to look at Shen Dingzhu: "Would you like to go to the back house?"
Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes, which were filled with water, and nodded with red eyes.
So, Xiao Langyan accompanied her through the two hanging flower gates and entered the inner courtyard of the back house.
All the redundant flowerbed potted plants, porcelain vases, lanterns and other items have been moved away, leaving only the trees with yellow leaves and a few rockeries in the clean yard.
Shen Dingzhu walked a few steps quickly and arrived at the courtyard where she lived. Seeing the familiar scene, she felt sad and couldn't help but shed a few more tears.
There is only one camphor tree in her yard, which was planted by her father when she was just born. It is said that it will be made into a dowry on the day of her wedding and will accompany her when she gets married.
Xiao Langyan stood behind her, looking at Shen Dingzhu's pink fingertips constantly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, his thin eyes faint.
She pointed to the camphor tree and said, "There used to be a swing under the tree."
Xiao Langyan looked back at Yaren and said in a cold tone: "Where's the swing?"
Yaren was shocked and lowered his head in shock: "Your Majesty, when the kids first bought this house, there was no swing."
Shen Dingzhu shook his head: "It has been removed a long time ago. When I fell off the swing when I was eight years old, my second brother dismantled the swing."
Yaren breathed a sigh of relief, almost making a big mistake in his mind, but then he thought about it, the beauty next to Prince Ning actually knew this house so well, could it be...
He thought of a possibility, and Yaren was shocked in response to the rumors he had heard recently.
Xiao Langyan asked Chen Heng to check the land deed with Yaren.
He and Shen Dingzhu were the only ones left in the yard.
"The prince brought me here in person, and he didn't shy away from talking about the house in front of the people. Aren't you afraid of rumors from outside that you were confused for me?" Shen Dingzhu asked.
Although her eyes were still moist, her voice was calm.
Xiao Langyan knew that she was smart and could guess it, so he had no intention of hiding it from her: "I just want the whole capital to know that I love you."
He said, looked at her, and added: "Even if it's fake."
Shen Dingzhu frowned and looked at him. Xiao Langyan's tall and slender figure stood beside her, with a deep and cold temperament.
What is he planning?
Shortly after Yaren left, Xiao Langyan did not rush to leave the house with Shen Dingzhu. Instead, he asked Chen Heng to set up a table stove and cook tea in the corridor of the inner courtyard.
This tea set had been placed on the carriage a long time ago, and Chen Heng brought three tea cups.
Shen Dingzhu lowered his eyes and saw: "Will there be guests soon?"
Xiao Langyan hummed, not wanting to say more.
After a while, Chen Heng led a beautiful figure from the back door.
Shen Dingzhu turned his eyes and saw it, his heart was filled with snowy light, and he suddenly understood everything.
The visitor is Fu Yunqiu.
In the past, Xiao Langyan was not involved with her, which aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction. Now he wanted to create the illusion that he was in love with her, but in fact, he was hiding the fact that he was still in close contact with Fu Yunqiu.
In this way, this house was bought for Shen Dingzhu on the surface, but in fact, it was just for the convenience of their tryst.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes filled with spring water calmed down little by little.
Seeing Fu Yunqiu skillfully sit next to Xiao Langyan after bowing, Shen Dingzhu stood up consciously and said with a faint red lips: "I'll change the pot of hot water."
Xiao Langyan held her hand: "Let Chen Heng go, you sit and listen."
Fu Yunqiu glanced at them in surprise.
