Chapter 344: There are so many melons at the end of the year
Zhou sighed, "I saw that child several times when he was young. He was a very sensible and polite child. I don't know why he suddenly became like this."
Just by looking at the contents of the letter, she could imagine her friend's anxiety.
Shen Huazheng swallowed the candied fruit in her mouth: “Some people usually look well-behaved and sensible, but their true colors are revealed when they encounter big things.”
Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, some people are really good at pretending."
Just like Song Zhichen before he got married, everyone thought he was studious, motivated and had good character.
Who knew that he was such a dirty mess.
It's so dirty just by looking at it.
Chen Huazheng: "What does Lady Yong'an think?"
Zhou: "Of course she firmly disagrees. How can she cancel the engagement that has been made long ago? How will others view the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion? But He Qiming threatened that if she didn't agree, he would commit suicide."
She sighed and continued, "When she was pregnant with He Qiming, she fell and had a difficult delivery. He Qiming had a weak health when he was a child, and he recovered little by little later..."
From Zhou's words, Shen Huazheng slowly pieced together a story.
He Qiming was difficult to give birth to at first, so the entire Yong'an Earl's Mansion paid special attention to him.
The old uncle was on good terms with General Yan, and the two families were also considering getting married.
However, since there was no suitable one among the children, the family fell into the hands of the grandchildren.
In the old uncle's view, this marriage was one in a million, so it was natural that it should be reserved for the heir of the uncle's house.
So they chose to marry He Qiming to General Yan’s granddaughter Yan Yan.
Regardless of the relationship between the elders or the reputation of the family, this marriage cannot be cancelled.
Although Lady Yong'an had three sons, her favorite was still the eldest son.
He Qiming threatened to commit suicide, and the wife of the Earl of Yong'an became flustered.
After listening to Zhou's words, Shen Huazheng asked a question that had nothing to do with this matter -
"Mother, since He Qiming is so favored, why isn't he the crown prince?"
Although He Qiming was the most favored eldest son, Earl Yong'an never asked for the title of Crown Prince for him.
Just like Song Zhichen back then.
Zhou seemed to have not expected her to ask this question: "Old uncle set the rule that grandchildren can only be named as crown princes after they get married."
This was said cryptically, but Shen Huazheng still understood it.
When the old uncle chose He Qiming to marry into the Yan family, he probably intended to make him the crown prince.
I just want to wait until he gets married and then ask for the title of Crown Prince for him.
Of course, there is another possibility.
The old uncle wanted the heir of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion to marry into the Yan family.
Therefore, only by marrying Yan Yan can He Qiming become the crown prince.
However, now that he has made such a fuss, things may change.
Earl Yong'an has more than one son, He Qiming.

After they returned to the capital, Zhou went about her business.
Today was the holiday that Shen Huazheng had set for herself, so there was nothing else to do.
She was a little bored, so she picked up a storybook and leaned back on the couch to read.
At first, Shen Huazheng took a sip of tea from time to time.
Gradually, she turned the pages of the book faster and even stopped drinking tea.
Qingzhi and Qingtang, who were waiting on the side, exchanged glances. It seemed that the county lady should like this storybook very much.
This is the reaction the county princess has every time she is absorbed in reading a storybook.
Finally, Shen Huazheng finished reading the last page and closed the notebook in her hand.
Just when Qingzhi Qingtang thought that she would praise this story a few words as she did in the past.
Chen Huazheng, however, acted contrary to her usual behavior and put the storybook aside, cursing angrily: "What a vicious story!!"
Qingzhi and Qingtang were both stunned. Vicious? ?
They don't understand, how can a storybook be associated with evil? ?
The story in the book tells of a noble lady from an aristocratic family who is in love with her fiancé and whose family members also like her very much.
Just when the lady thought she would always be happy like that, an accident happened.
Her fiancé's sister asked her to go out for a trip, and a group of bandits appeared on the way.
All the guards were killed. In order to protect the noble lady and escape to get help, the fiancé's sister deliberately led the bandits away.
By the time the lady called for help, she had already been brutally murdered.
The fiancé's family took their anger out on the noble lady, and the two families almost became enemies.
The fiancé also questioned the lady why she ran away alone and left his sister there to die.
The lady was already blaming herself, and made no defence against the various accusations levelled at her by her fiancé's family.
Strangely, the fiancé finally went against everyone's opinion and married the noble lady.
When she saw this, Chen Huazheng had a vague premonition that another heart-wrenching death-defying love story might happen. As she expected,
The fiancé had long since discovered that the man behind the gang of bandits was the current Sixth Prince, and his sister was killed simply because she accidentally saw something she shouldn't have seen.
So those bandits were actually targeting my sister in order to silence her.
But the fiancé still hated the noble lady. He felt that if the noble lady had taken her sister with her and ran away, she might not have died.
In order to use the power of the noble lady's family to overthrow the Sixth Prince, her fiancé's family has been suppressing her since marriage.
Every time they saw the noble lady, they would insult her in various ways, pinning the crime of causing the tragic death of her fiancé's sister on her.
Under this mental control, the lady became more and more depressed.
She felt that she was a sinner and should have died with them.
Finally, after bringing down the Sixth Prince.
The lady committed suicide by taking poison.
After her tragic death, her fiancé was heartbroken and came to his senses.
He finally saw his own heart clearly and realized that his love for the noble lady had never changed.
It's just that due to the hatred of my family, I have never dared to look directly into my own heart.
The ending of the story is that the fiancé climbs to the pinnacle of power and remembers his former lover from his high position.
His family also lives a comfortable life, and at most he feels a little guilty when he thinks of the noble lady.
Chen Huazheng took the wet towel handed over by Qingzhi and wiped her hands, then picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a big bite.
Sure enough, I need to eat some sweets to calm my anger.
If she could write novels, she would definitely rewrite this story.
Are all your family members dead? How could they watch others bully their daughter like that?
When the fiancé's family gets too arrogant, you should turn against him right away.
It is obvious that your lady is also a victim. If you don’t run back to ask for help, are you going to stay there and wait to die together?
Shen Huazheng was still cursing in her heart when a voice suddenly sounded—
"Zheng'er, look what I brought you."
Shen Huazheng looked up and saw Shen Keheng walking in from the door with a smile on his face, holding two candied haws in his hand.
"Third brother, why are you here?"
Shen Keheng came to Shen Huazheng and handed her one of the candied haws.
"Third brother came here this time to tell you something that happened in the Imperial College these two days."
When he said this, Shen Keheng had an expression on his face that said, "I knew you like to hear gossip, so I came here specially to tell you some gossip."
Shen Huazheng: …
Well, she did like to hear gossip.
Shen Keheng first took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then began to speak mysteriously -
"One of our classmates was beaten up at the gate of the Imperial College, and the person who beat him up was his fiancée."
"In fact, he is a gentle and polite person to everyone. To put it nicely, he is gentle and kind, and likes to help others. But to put it bluntly, he is too soft-hearted and doesn't know how to say no. He is easily led by others. Just like that time when we went to the bookstore together..."
Shen Huazheng listened to the examples given by Shen Keheng and understood it all at once.
This classmate is a good person, but he is also very philanthropic.
In other words, it is a central air conditioner.
Giving warmth and love everywhere all day long not only causes trouble for yourself, but sometimes also affects the people around you.
At first, Shen Keheng had a good relationship with him, but after being reminded by Shen Kesi, he distanced himself from him.
Chen Keheng: "I thought he would be so soft-hearted all his life, but he became so tough for a peasant girl this time. He threatened to break off the engagement at home, and even said he would die if I didn't let him break off the engagement."
Shen Huazheng ate candied haws while listening to Shen Keheng talking.
Why do there seem to be so many melons these past two days?
But as she listened, she always felt that something was wrong.
Why is this story so similar to what I heard about the Yong'an Earl's Mansion before? ?
"Third brother, your classmate could be He Qiming."
