Chapter 225 Filthy and Stinky, Her Disguise as a Man is About to Be Exposed

Marquis Changning, who was pulled up, was stinking in the wind.

The servants who pulled him out tried their best to hold their breath, but still couldn't hold it in and vomited all over Marquis Changning.

Marquis Changning was furious, disgusted, and humiliated. He kicked the servant away.

"Useless thing, get out!"

With a roar of rage, the excrement on his head trembled three times.

Snap.

A large lump was shaken down and landed right on his mouth.

The Marquis of Changning's angry and humiliating curses came to an abrupt halt.

Colorless poop fell from his body with a series of splattering sounds, scattering all over the ground.

Aunt Qiao turned pale and instinctively took two steps back.

Noticing her retreat, Marquis Changning became somewhat angry and reached out to Aunt Qiao.

"Give me a 'hmm'..."

Aunt Qiao looked bewildered. "What did the Marquis say?"

Marquis Changning collapsed, looking at Aunt Qiao with anxiety and anger.

Chen Chu walked over from not far away and called out:

"Auntie, don't just stand there, quickly help Father wipe himself."

Aunt Qiao then realized that what Marquis Changning meant was that she should wipe the excrement off his body.

She took out her handkerchief, and many images suddenly flashed through her mind.

The first time they met, the Marquis of Changning descended from the sky like a god; the Marquis of Changning with a handsome face; the Marquis of Changning with a gentle expression towards her; the Marquis of Changning whom she loved deeply.

The final image of the scene was of Marquis Changning, his face and body covered in excrement.

Heh.

Suddenly I felt like I didn't love him as much anymore.

When the Marquis of Changning saw that Aunt Qiao was staring blankly at him and refusing to come forward, he was very angry that Aunt Qiao had no sense of propriety.

He strode toward Aunt Qiao and reached out to grab the hem of her bright red skirt.

"Oh, my wedding dress."

Aunt Qiao retreated in a panic, but it was too late.

Marquis Changning grabbed the hem of her bright red skirt and wiped it across her face, finally revealing her mouth and nose.

He glared at Aunt Qiao in a fit of rage and shame.

"I told you to wipe it for me, what are you dawdling about? You don't even have this much sense. How will you be a Marquis's wife in the future?"

"Quickly, have someone prepare water for me; I need to wash up."

He yelled at Aunt Qiao while continuing to wipe the excrement off his body with his wedding dress.

Aunt Qiao watched helplessly as the bright red wedding dress she had carefully chosen and happily put on instantly became foul-smelling and unsightly.

He was getting angry.

She raised her hand, ripped off the buttons of her wedding dress, and threw it hard at the Marquis of Changning's head.

"Go to hell!"

Aunt Qiao ran away crying.

Marquis Changning tore off his wedding dress, his face turning ashen.

"The Qiao family, how dare you..."

Where is Aunt Qiao now?

Not only was Aunt Qiao gone, but even Chen Chu was nowhere to be found.

Shen Chu followed Aunt Qiao back to the new house.

Aunt Qiao looked at Chen Chu and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, Ah Chu, my love, it's not only dirty, it's stinking!"

Shen Chu gently patted Aunt Qiao's back.

"It was already dirty and smelly. Even your initial beginnings were carefully planned by him. He just wanted you because you were stupid and had a lot of money."

All these years, you've spent your money, slept with your body, and abused your child. Tell me, what have you gotten out of it?

"Foolish and rich?" Aunt Qiao burst into tears, crying even more bitterly.

"Waaaaah, he's so handsome, and he's always been so gentle and considerate to me. If he could lie to me for the rest of my life, I'd be willing to do it."

Why did you have to let me know the truth and then show me him covered in excrement?

I can accept that my love is imperfect, but I can't accept that it's dirty and smelly.

I can't see him now; all my memories of him are of him smelling of feces.

"I can't take it anymore, I feel nauseous, I want to throw up."

Aunt Qiao really vomited.

After vomiting, she refused to stay in the new house and went back to her old courtyard to mourn her dead love.

Shen Chu watched her leave, feeling somewhat regretful.

If she had known that kicking Marquis Changning into the cesspool would have such a good effect, she certainly wouldn't have delayed for so long.

"From now on, you will be the eldest son of the Marquis's family. Aren't you very proud of yourself?"

A cold snort suddenly came from behind.

Shen Chu turned around and met Shen Qingshuang's gloomy eyes.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tsk, I don't know if I'm pleased or not, but you look very angry."

Shen Qingshuang's expression changed slightly. Remembering something, she suddenly raised her chin and sneered.

"Heh, Shen Chu, your smugness won't last long."

Shen Chu's eyes flickered slightly.

"I don't know how long I can be smug, but I know you can't be smug right now."

Also, from now on, call me "Big Brother" when you see me. If you still don't behave properly, I'll have to teach you a lesson myself.

“You…” Shen Qingshuang blurted out in exasperation.

"You just wait. When the men Father sent out return, you will die a horrible death."

Shen Chu frowned slightly. "The people you sent out?"

Shen Qingshuang then realized that she had said the wrong thing, and a look of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

She stomped her foot and glared fiercely at Chen Chu.

"My cousin, the Crown Prince, will be here soon. If you dare to bully me, he will definitely not let you off the hook."

The deceased Lady Chen and Empress Feng were cousins.

Shen Qingshuang always called Empress Feng "aunt" and the Crown Prince "cousin".

Is the Crown Prince coming?

Shen Chu watched Shen Qingshuang run away, lost in thought.

Marquis Changning was not a confidant of the Crown Prince, and besides, making Consort Qiao his official wife was not the same as marrying a new bride.

Logically, the Crown Prince had no need to come.

They weren't even there during the wedding ceremony; their arrival now is very likely aimed at her.

Chen Chu's heart stirred slightly, and he quickly called Hongxiu over, whispering a few words of advice.

After watching Hongxiu leave, she went to the banquet in the front yard.

Those who were eating at the banquet in the front yard had all heard about the Marquis of Changning falling into the cesspool, and were now staring blankly at the full table of food.

Well, to be honest, it's a bit off-putting.

Just then, the voice of a palace attendant came from outside.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

The crown prince, dressed in a bright yellow python robe, walked in with his hands behind his back.

Everyone quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

The crown prince waved his hand and walked straight to the main seat to sit down.

His gaze swept across the entire room before settling on Shen Chu.

"Huh? Where is Marquis Changning?"

Shen Chu said, "There was a slight accident at the banquet. My father is washing up and changing clothes in the backyard."

The Crown Prince waved his hand, "Enough. I came here today mainly for Lord Shen. Announce the decree."

The eunuch brought by the Crown Prince stepped forward and said, "His Majesty has decreed that Shen Chu should receive the decree."

Shen Chu immediately knelt down.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Shen Chu personally led the effort in the case of clearing up the salt administration in Changsha, and in just one month, he cleared up the salt administration. He has won the Emperor's favor. Therefore, Shen Chu is hereby promoted to the rank of Left Vice Censor-in-Chief, a fifth-rank official. All other officials are to be rewarded."

"Your subject, Shen Chu, accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude."

After the eunuch read out the imperial edict, the people present immediately erupted in excitement.

His official position remained the same, but his rank was promoted from deputy fifth rank to full fifth rank.

Shen Chu had only been in the court for a little over three months when he became a fifth-rank official.

The younger generation is truly formidable.

The crowd looked at Shen Chu with fervor, and many even began to wonder if they had any unmarried daughters or nieces that they could perhaps be betrothed to Lord Shen.

After the Crown Prince and the others finished offering their congratulations, they looked at Shen Chu with a smile and said:

"I have heard that Lord Shen has faced many dangers while investigating a case in Changsha Prefecture, and has encountered life-threatening situations several times. Your Majesty is very worried about him."

Therefore, I have specially requested Father Emperor to summon the imperial physician to examine Lord Shen's pulse, so that Father Emperor may be at ease."

Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at the Crown Prince.

The crown prince smiled, but his gaze towards her held a hint of suspicion.

What is he doubting?

"What are you standing there for, Lord Shen? Why don't you quickly kowtow and thank the Emperor for his grace? I have brought the imperial physicians with me."

Shen Chu tightened her grip on the imperial edict.

Once the imperial physician takes her pulse, her true identity as a woman disguised as a man will inevitably be exposed!
