Chapter 38 Understanding
The gossip fire in Chu Yang's heart was burning, and he wanted to know who was so bold as to provoke Xie Jingyu.
Then he realized that it seemed like he had provoked it, because there was a knife hidden in Xie Jingyu's eyes when he looked at him.
Chu Yang, “…”
He didn't do anything.
God have mercy on him, even if he had some courage, he would not dare to provoke this evil star.
Shen Wan's eyes frequently passed over Xie Jingyu and fell on Chu Yang.
In his previous life, Marquis Linjiang remained neutral and did not participate in the fight for the throne. However, Xiao Yun was narrow-minded, and after sitting in that position, the Marquis Linjiang Mansion did not end well. Chu Yang was even almost beheaded. Later, Xie Jingyu rebelled, and Chu Yang followed him. He was invincible on the battlefield and was Xie Jingyu's right-hand man.
Xie Jingyu entered the capital and ascended the throne, and he named Chu Yang a king of a different surname.
Among all the young men from aristocratic families that Chen Li invited, Chu Yang had the best ending. If he had to choose one, there was no reason not to choose him.
But how could she convince the Prince of Linjiang to lend her his position as the Prince's Wife for two years? She had nothing to offer in exchange.
Spend money to buy it?
The prince of Linjiang Marquis is not short of money.
Shen Wan looked worried.
Chen Wu and Ye Caiwei saw her distress and thought that Shen Wan had fallen for the Prince of Jingbei. After all, there were only two people in that direction, Chu Yang and Xie Jingyu. Although the Prince of Linjiang Marquis was not bad, he was no match for the Prince of Jingbei. Even a fool would know which one to choose, but it was a pity that this marriage was destined to fail.
The Emperor would probably have trouble sleeping at night because of the marriage between Prince Jingbei and Duke Dingguo, two men with large military forces under their command.
Shen Wu whispered, "We've stayed long enough, it's time to go."
Shen Wan had wanted to leave a long time ago and stood up immediately.
Seeing Chen Wan leave, Chen Li suddenly lost interest in the poetry meeting. He was not good at writing poetry to begin with, and it was not as interesting as horseback riding and hunting. He said, "I can't write this poem anymore. How about we go to the horse racing outside the city and I'll treat you to a hot spring bath."
“If we talk about fun, it has to be Brother Shen.”
Everyone unanimously agreed to this proposal.
Back in the inner courtyard, Shen Wu and Ye Caiwei wanted to go to Shou'an Hall, but Shen Wan didn't want to go, so they parted ways.
On the way back to Mingyue Garden, Shen Wan was absent-minded. When she passed by the rockery, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She was startled and glanced to see a handsome face. She met a pair of eyes that were filled with hidden anger. Before Shen Wan could react, she was taken into the rockery.
Her back hit the rockery, and her forehead trembled in pain.
Wasn't this bastard in the front yard? Why is he running to the inner yard?!
Just when she had developed a little affection for him, he did something bullying again. Shen Wan was pushed against the rockery and couldn't struggle free, so she could only stare at him.
"What are you crazy about? Let me go!"
Xie Jingyu looked at Chen Wan's eyes filled with anger and asked, "Was it your idea or your eldest brother's idea to hold a poetry gathering and invite those children from aristocratic families to the mansion?"
Shen Wan, “…”
Why is this person so curious?
"It was my dad's idea."
Xie Jingyu's face froze, and his chest felt like it was being punched by something. He spoke with difficulty, "Did Duke Dingguo forbid me from being invited?"
Why ask so much? This person is idle and thinks her father is also idle.
"I didn't allow you to come."
Xie Jingyu's expression turned even uglier. "You didn't invite me, and you're still so confident. Do you know what I want to do now?"
Looking at the flames dancing in his eyes, Shen Wan felt a chill down his spine.
He quickly covered his neck.
Xie Jingyu was so angry that he laughed, "You really understand me."
Shen Wan didn’t hear his gnashing of teeth, “That’s why I didn’t treat you.”
"My elder brother is just using the excuse of holding a poetry gathering to invite those young men from aristocratic families to his mansion so that I can choose a husband of my choice from among them. Isn't it a waste of time to invite you here?"
Xie Jingyu really wanted to strangle her to death, "So you never thought of letting me be your husband?"
When the word "husband" came out of his mouth, Shen Wan felt a strange feeling in his heart.
She shook her head quickly.
"I dare not, I dare not."
"You saved my eldest sister's life. I can't repay you with evil."
Knowing that he had a bad temper, Chen Wan could only hold him in her arms and tell him that it was important to get him away quickly.
Are you kidding? Choosing him as her husband is like walking into a tiger's mouth. She still wants to live a few more years.
Xie Jingyu laughed when he heard this, "So you're planning to harm the Linjiang Marquis's son?"
Shen Wan, “…”
You are the trouble!
etc.
Shen Wan looked up at him, "How did you know I was going to choose the Linjiang Marquis's son?"
You dare to ask, Xie Jingyu almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth, "Your eyes are almost embedded in him, as long as you are not blind, you can see it."
Shen Wan was embarrassed. She had looked at Chu Yang several times, but when she looked at Chu Yang, what did it have to do with him? Why did he care so much?
Xie Jingyu seemed to sense what Shen Wan was thinking, and he said, "I don't want my brotherly relationship with him to be affected because of you."
Shen Wan was dissatisfied, "How did I affect your brotherly relationship?"
Xie Jingyu looked at Shen Wan, "Do you think that based on the way we are talking now, you are suitable to marry him?"
...It doesn't seem appropriate.
If she were to marry Chu Yang, it would mean that he had embraced his brother's wife. If they could keep it a secret for a lifetime, it would be fine. If not, it would be so embarrassing that even the brothers couldn't continue.
But the problem is that she is not really marrying the prince of Linjiang Marquis.
It's a pity that she was still worried about how to convince the son of Linjiang Marquis, but she couldn't get past Xie Jingyu.
Shen Wan was upset and said, "I won't choose him."
But Xie Jingyu was not satisfied with this answer, and even more unhappy, "I thought you really liked the Linjiang Marquis's son, but a few words made you give up. Are you so casual about your lifelong affairs?"
She wanted to marry the son of Linjiang Marquis, but he disagreed.
She was forced to give up and he mocked her again.
Did this bastard take the wrong medicine?
Shen Wan could no longer bear it. "I never planned to get married. God knows which bastard tricked me. My parents are afraid that my life is in danger and want to marry me off within three months. What can I do?"
"I only intend to borrow the Linjiang Marquis's wife's identity for a year or two. I'm not really going to marry him. If you're worried about affecting your brotherly relationship, I'll just find someone else."
It took me a long time to choose a suitable one, but I had to choose again, which made me very annoyed.
Xie Jingyu's frown relaxed, "I'll lend it to you."
Shen Wan thought she was hallucinating and looked at Xie Jingyu in surprise, "Are you crazy?"
Xie Jingyu's face darkened visibly.
Shen Wan took a look, and the suppressed psychological shadow instantly rose up, and her voice trembled a little, "I appreciate your kindness, but the birthday banquet of Duke Xingguo is coming soon, you should save your mother's life first, otherwise you will be in mourning for three years and you won't be able to marry anyone."
After saying that, Shen Wan quickly pushed Xie Jingyu away and left.
In his previous life, he was in mourning and couldn't marry his beloved, so he took his anger out on her, an innocent person. If she really married him, she would be under his watchful eyes every day. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to endure even one or two months, let alone one or two years.
