Chapter 151: Like a Wolf or a Tiger

"I don't regret it." Shen Changhe said immediately, and while Lin Ye was drinking tea, he quickly hooked Lin Yurou's little finger.

Her face quickly heated up, like a cooked shrimp, red and hot.

I began to reflect on whether I had led this dull and upright gentleman astray.

Lin Ye's stomach was bloated from drinking so much, but he had no choice but to continue pretending as the two people opposite him kept making small movements.

Footsteps were heard in the yard, and several people stood up. When they met each other, they greeted each other for a long time. .

Lin Yurou's eyes lit up when she saw Shen Anan, but because of the presence of Madam Shen and Shen Wen, she could only suppress her anger as much as possible and did not pounce on her immediately.

"Princess." She bowed slightly and gracefully.

"Hello, Miss Lin." Shen Anan's eyes curved. The Lin brothers and sisters would come at this time, so it seemed that the marriage had been finalized.

She sat down next to Madam Shen, with Lin Yurou on the other side, and after a few simple words, Madam Shen stood up to make room for their men to speak.

"I'll go to the kitchen to see how the lunch preparations are going. An'an, you can also show Miss Lin around."

"Yes." The three stood up and left the hall.

Only Shen Wen and Lin Ye were talking seriously in the hall. Xiao Yuan and Shen Changhe did not withdraw their gaze until the two figures were completely out of sight.

What men talk about is different from what women talk about, and Lin Yurou is particularly not interested in that.

After leaving the yard, Madam Shen left, and Shen Anan took Lin Yurou back to her Begonia Garden, where the furnishings were the same as three days ago, spotlessly clean.

"An An. How did the Fourth Prince treat you?"

This was the first thing Lin Yurou asked.

"He treats me very well," Shen Anan replied with a smile, and then she remembered something and asked, "Have you and my eldest brother decided on your marriage?"

Lin Yurou blushed and nodded, "Your eldest brother said that there is no time to prepare before the New Year, so we will schedule it after the Lantern Festival, on January 16th."

Shen Anan chuckled, "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Lin Yurou's beautiful face was full of embarrassment. "This matter can be so smooth, thanks to your help, otherwise we don't know what will become of it."

Shen Anan said with a smile, "My eldest brother is a sullen person. He has to be pushed. I can't do anything when I see him depressed. Only you can control him."

"It's also because of his goodness." Lin Yurou's cheeks were red.

Shen Anan looked at the cute and shy Lin Yurou, and it was hard for her to imagine what the scene would be like when the two of them met secretly late at night. And what Xiao Yuan said,...

She hurriedly shook off all the absurd thoughts in her mind. After the incident at the Second Prince's Mansion, she knew that Miss Lin was a bold, careful, and successful girl.

She is resourceful and intelligent, but what is very rare is that she has excellent character and upbringing, and is simply the best among women.

Her mother has a very good vision.

"It's just... now I have another worry."

"Hmm?" Shen Anan came back to her senses and looked at Lin Yurou, who was holding her cheek with a melancholy look on her face.

"It's all because of my cousin from the Chen family. He has been so worried and troubled by my affairs this time, and even his reputation has been ruined. It's really hard work."

Shen Anan nodded. The young master of the Chen family had indeed made a great sacrifice this time and was almost beaten by his eldest brother.

"I will prepare a generous gift to thank him when the time comes."

"That's not what I'm worried about." Lin Yurou pouted, "I'm afraid that the truth will be revealed and your eldest brother will find out. He used to be a conservative person, and I don't know if he will have any opinion about me if he finds out."

Wasn't it because of her unruly behavior that I was completely fed up with Duan Yingying?

"I haven't dared to let my cousin go out these days, for fear that he might run into me by mistake. I would feel so sorry for him."

“…” Shen Anan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Lin Yurou continued, "I'd better hide for a while. After we get married, I won't be afraid even if he knows."

As they spend more and more time together, at most she could let go of her reserve and pester him for a few days, and the matter would be over.

Shen Anan felt that Lin Yurou was really worrying too much about this matter. His elder brother was even willing to climb over the wall for her. The gentleman who used to be so reserved had now started to steal women's love.

Even if we knew it now, we would most likely just laugh it off, or even be secretly happy for a while.

"He has been very busy these days, going to the East City military camp almost every day. I don't think he has the time to hang out on the street."

Xiao Yuan told Shen Anan that Shen Changhe had taken over the East City military camp, but now that everything is calm, there should be nothing to do in the military camp, and even if there are drills, they don't go there every day.

The two stayed in the Begonia Garden for a while, and Madam Shen sent someone to invite them, saying that the Fourth Prince was looking for her. Lin Yurou knew that the mother and daughter had not seen each other for a few days, and Madam Shen wanted to have some personal conversation with Shen Anan.

She took the initiative to say that she was a little tired and wanted to lie down in her Begonia Garden for a while, so Shen Anan went to Madam Shen's courtyard.

“An An.” Madam Shen looked her up and down before she let out a breath. "How are you?"

She didn't dare to ask in the front hall just now because she was worried that Xiao Yuan would be unhappy.

Shen Anan turned around in front of Madam Shen, “Look for yourself, mother, not a single hair is missing, not even a scratch.”

"You." Madam Shen poked her forehead and pulled her to sit on the couch. "I want to ask you, how is the Fourth Prince's backyard? Is there anything wrong? And is the housekeeper's power in your hands?"

"It's nothing to worry about. His backyard is very clean, and there is not even a maid. The housekeeper's power has been handed over to me, but I'm busy these days and I don't have time to look around."

Madam Shen was a little surprised, "Don't you even have a maid?"

Even among the powerful and wealthy, there is no one who does not have concubines.

As a prince, Xiao Yuan had a clean backyard and no concubines with a formal title. It was extremely rare for him to be so self-disciplined.

But he is already twenty-three years old this year. It would be unbelievable if he didn't even have a maid.

She didn't bother to ask about the housekeeper's power. She chose her words carefully and said, "You got married in a hurry. There are some things that I didn't have the time to explain to you in detail. You and the Fourth Prince..."

Shen Anan immediately understood what she meant, and said shyly, "Mom,~"

Madam Shen held her hand and stared at her eagerly, and only let out a long sigh after Shen Anan nodded slightly.

"That's good, as long as there's nothing wrong with it."

"..." Shen Anan's face was wooden, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

That dog man is as fierce as a wolf and a tiger,...

She was in a lot of trouble, but he had no backyard in her previous life. This time, her mind was not on it at all, so she didn't care whether it existed or not.

Madam Shen was happy for a while, then frowned again, "If everything is normal, how can there not even be a maidservant? An An, don't you..."

If you haven’t experienced the world of men, you don’t understand men at all…it’s not possible.

"Don't worry, mother. He's fine." Shen Anan hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly, "Actually... the emperor has pointed out a girl from a family for him."

"When did it happen? Which family? What's your position?" Madam Shen asked in a series of questions, her face immediately falling.

"When I entered the palace the next day, it was Liangpin's sister, surnamed Li, the second daughter of the Minister of War." Shen Anan's tone was indescribably calm.

"Mother, this is the rule of the palace. After each prince gets married, he will be given several beautiful maids to fill the backyard. The emperor only appointed one, which is better."

She would feel better if she said it first than if her parents and elder brother knew about it tomorrow.

Having said that, Madam Shen still felt very uncomfortable, "That's why mother doesn't want you to marry into the royal family. Now you've only been married for a few days, and you've brought this girl and that girl into the mansion. You don't even have a deep relationship yet, so it's hard not to have a resentful couple in the future."

She knew that as the daughter-in-law of a royal family, this was inevitable, but the Shen family was quiet, and she really felt sorry for her daughter having to scheme and scheme among a group of women.

"An An, the people in the royal family will do anything for power, so you must be careful. Women's fights are even more bloodless. At this time, don't worry about sincerity. Staying alive is the most urgent thing."

Tears slowly gathered in her eyes, but she wiped them with a handkerchief and they immediately fell down.

"Don't worry, mother. I have been taught by my grandmother since I was young, and I can handle the private affairs of the backyard."

"Don't underestimate the struggle in the harem," Mrs. Shen was about to say something, but Shen Anan smiled and held her hand, "Don't worry, the Fourth Prince has feelings for me and will not insult my dignity as the main wife."

“Oh, what’s going on here?” Mrs. Shen slapped her legs hard, her face full of sorrow.
