Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 594
His question stumped Shen Jun: "What's the difference?"
"Father, I've grown up now."
Shen Jun was taken aback.
Only then did he belatedly realize what Shen Rang meant.
Shen Rang has grown up and doesn't need to be informed of everything beforehand.
Although divorcing his wife was a big deal, just as Shen Rang had predicted, the Marquis's mansion had long been unable to tolerate Yun Wan, and Yun Wan was not entirely without resentment towards the Marquis's mansion.
Although this event was sudden, it was also an inevitable outcome.
Seeing that Shen Jun remained silent, Shen Rang bowed and left.
As soon as he left, the old woman who had been waiting outside came into the room: "My lord, my concubine sent me to ask when you will be returning. She has already prepared wine and dishes."
Upon seeing her, a cold glint flashed in Madam Zheng's eyes: "The Marquis really treats Concubine Chen very well."
Shen Jun snapped out of his daze and glanced at her.
Madam Zheng flicked her sleeves and said, "My lord, don't forget how much the entire Yunnan Prince's Mansion values that child. Whenever Zirong does something, you always bring up the Marquis's Mansion. Why are you so confused when it comes to yourself?"
Now, Shen Jun was truly confused: "What do you mean?"
"Does Your Excellency want the Huo family to continue to believe that it was Your Excellency who wanted to kill that child?"
“I remember that when the Marquis went to intercept the people, someone tipped him off.”
Hearing Zheng's words, Shen Jun's expression turned ugly.
Wasn't it Aunt Chen who tipped them off?
"Your Excellency indulges Consort Chen so much, and she has taken on such a big responsibility all by herself. I can't say anything, but if anything happens to the Marquis's mansion in the future, Your Excellency should not think that it is all Zirong's fault."
Shen Jun is clearly the one who is completely wrong.
After Zheng finished speaking, Shen Jun's expression changed drastically, and he turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Madam Zheng let out a cold snort.
All these years, she hasn't made any move against Aunt Chen, but that doesn't mean she's easy to bully!
She remembered all the dirty water that Aunt Chen had thrown on her!
Of course, she really doesn't like Shen Jun now.
“Aunt Zhou, it’s getting late, you should rest.”
Zhou's mother forced down her excitement and helped Zheng back to her room.
——
The next morning, Shen Jun took Aunt Chen, who was bound hand and foot, out the door.
The Prince's Palace in Yunnan.
Now that Huo Yue has returned, it is natural for him to handle the matter of receiving men from outside the family.
He had already heard about how Yunxi almost didn't survive childbirth.
They also sent people to investigate and learned of Aunt Chen's existence.
However, he was quite surprised that Shen Jun brought Aunt Chen over so late.
It's astonishing how the Marquis of Changping's mansion has managed to survive until now, given such an incompetent ruler.
“Your Highness,” Shen Jun cupped his hands in greeting, “what happened before was purely accidental. I misjudged people and listened to this poisonous woman’s words. I made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Now that I have brought this poisonous woman here, I leave it to Your Highness to decide how to deal with her.”
As soon as Shen Jun finished speaking, Aunt Chen on the ground began to struggle violently.
But she was tightly bound with hemp rope and her mouth was stuffed with a rag, so she couldn't even make a clear sound, making her struggles seem particularly ridiculous.
Aunt Chen felt a chill in her heart.
Last night she prepared food and drinks, as usual, hoping for his return.
She knew that Shen Jun would definitely come back furious, and she originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Jun returned, he ordered his men to tie her up and leave her in a side room overnight. This morning, he brought her directly to the Yunnan Prince's Mansion.
Even before Shen Jun became estranged from Zheng Shi because of a few words she said, Aunt Chen knew that Shen Jun was heartless.
