Shen Qi was stunned.
But there was one thing he was very clear about: no matter which of the two sisters was real and which was fake, nothing could happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion now.
So, he dragged Shen Luo downstairs and said, "You can't say that..."
Shen Ruyi watched the two people disappear at the stairs and felt mixed emotions as she watched the snowflakes falling outside.
Fang Fei whispered, "The Third Young Master seems to be truly regretful."
He looked at Shen Ruyi cautiously, not knowing whether the young lady would change her mind.
Yingluo, the maidservant beside the prince, stepped forward and interrupted, "Miss Shen, why don't you go back?"
"No matter what, it's not good for a girl like you to live outside with several male guards around you."
"It would be fine if you were alone, but you will soon marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about His Royal Highness."
Her tone was odd.
There was probably some disdain in his words for Shen Ruyi.
Shen Ruyi sneered in her heart and looked at her, "So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants you to teach me?"
"Then why don't you go back and ask him why he must marry me? I think there are many girls in the capital who want to be the Crown Princess, and they will definitely not bring any criticism to the East Palace."
She just had a hard time in the capital.
But nowadays, not everyone can bully.
Shen Ruyi narrowed her eyes, with a cold light in her eyes.
Yingluo's face turned grim when she heard that.
Of course she knew why the prince wanted to marry Shen Ruyi, because Shen Ruyi was the lucky star of Ziwei. Putting her in the East Palace would make people think that the prince would ascend the throne in the future and that the prince would be the next Ziwei star.
It was precisely because he was worried that the prince sent her and Linlang here.
Originally assigned to supervise Shen Ruyi.
But I didn't expect that Shen Ruyi would be so difficult to control.
Yingluo choked for a moment, then said, "Since you don't want to listen, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Her tone was a little stiff.
At this time, Shen Qi came back.
He stared at Shen Ruyi, his brows deep, "Ruyi, no matter what you think, as long as your father has not said that you are not the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will always be. Besides, the blood test is a false accusation, and I don't know where you heard it from..."
However, before he finished his words, someone hurried forward.
"Fifth Master, something bad has happened..."
Shen Qi's expression changed, "What's wrong?"
The man looked at Shen Qi, then at Shen Ruyi, and said with difficulty: "I don't know what's going on, but now the news has spread that the eldest daughter is not the Prime Minister's biological daughter. It is also said that she is the daughter of a midwife and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion in place of the second daughter..."
“…”
Shen Qi choked.
"How could such a thing be told to others?"
My God, he just found out.
My father and elder brother kept it a secret, so how did it become known to everyone overnight?
You can't say that it was Shen Ruyi who told others, right?
But what good would it do for her to tell this to others?
It couldn't be Shen Luo either, because Shen Luo always believed that Shen Ruyi was his biological child.
So……
Before he could figure it out, he heard the guard stammer, "I asked around and heard that it was the Second Miss who said it."
"Now there are more than just this rumors out there. They also say that the master insisted that Ziwei Fuxing was his biological daughter in order to control her, and refused to let her go. He also silenced the imperial doctor Yan who performed the blood test to identify the daughter, and killed the midwife..."
Shen Qi's expression froze at this moment.
He felt cold all over, and after a long while he managed to utter, "This Shen Jiaojiao!"
After that, without paying any attention to Shen Ruyi, he hurried downstairs, "I'm going to find my father and eldest brother!"
But it really is, something big has happened!
Shen Ruyi looked at his impatience and laughed, "Why, Master Shen Wu is not calling me back anymore?"
Shen Qi suddenly turned around and stared at her, unable to speak.
At this point, the fact that Shen Ruyi was not her biological daughter could no longer be concealed.
If the Prime Minister's Office still wants to pester us, they will have no excuse.
He didn't care about Shen Ruyi, left her behind, rushed downstairs and got into the carriage.
"This move of the girl is quite cruel."
Han Jiang stood beside Shen Ruyi and couldn't help but look at her again.
Not everyone has the courage to take this step in the face of such great resistance. After all, one careless move could lead to eternal damnation.
However, Shen Ruyi was already doomed.
No matter how bad the ending is, can it be worse than the previous life?
All she had to do was not follow the path of her previous life, and she would have found a new way out.
Looking down at the bustling street below, Shen Ruyi felt a little dazed. "After today, even if the Shen family has a million excuses, they can't hold me back."
"I wonder if the prince will be so happy if he chooses the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Looking towards Donggong, Shen Ruyi's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm.
The Emperor said that she and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace were cousins. It can only be said that the Emperor thought too highly of his eldest son.
Perhaps Bai Wanru, the daughter of the Cao Gang at that time, was indeed stunningly talented and unforgettable.
But the current prince is obviously not that.
It is hard to see any bright, passionate, free and unrestrained true nature of Bai Wanru as described by the emperor from him. All he can see is petty scheming and confusion.
Han Jiang's eyes were complicated when he heard this. "Just now, news came that the Eastern Palace is going to unite with the Prime Minister's Mansion. The news has already reached the Second Prince and the Third Prince..."
Some situations do not even require the promotion of His Highness.
Others will naturally take the lead, start the wheel of history, and rush off the cliff, never to return.
Shen Ruyi took a deep breath and vaguely felt that she was not as kind as she was in her previous life.
Looking at the snow, the noise, and the intrigues in the court, she actually began to look forward to the coming of a storm.
Destruction before construction.
In the chaos, she had a way to break the situation.
To find the way.
…
at this time.
The prince met Shen Cangyun in the East Palace and said, "I didn't know the Prime Minister was coming. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
A smile appeared on his young face, warm but unable to hide a bit of flattery——
Being helpless for so many years eventually affected his personality.
Even though he was named the crown prince, he still had to flatter many court officials, and was especially inferior to Shen Cangyun.
"No, no, no, it is my honor to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Shen Cangyun originally looked down on the prince.
But today is an exception.
Because he really had no one else to choose from, and the emperor had already granted Shen Ruyi's marriage to the prince. As long as the prince didn't make any mistakes, he would be the heir apparent...
It seems that he is no worse than the second prince.
A smile appeared on his haggard face.
The two of them entered the East Palace tacitly.
The prince said, "I just went to see Ruyi. Father said that she will marry out of the palace, but no matter what, the prime minister is her biological father and my future father-in-law."
Then he raised his glass and said, "I toast to the Prime Minister."
Shen Cangyun became happy, "Yes, I didn't expect that we would become a family in the end. We prosper together and suffer together!"
The two families were thus bound together.
Shen Cangyun said: "From now on, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any needs, the Prime Minister's Office will definitely do its best to help."
The prince also extended an olive branch, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. As long as Ruyi marries me, I will definitely give you the prescription you want."
Shen Ruyi and Shen Jiaojiao became known to everyone because of the prescription issue.
Of course the prince also knew that Shen Cangyun loved Shen Jiaojiao and what he wanted.
Just as the two of them hit it off, the guards from the East Palace rushed in, "Your Highness! Something happened!"
"Something big has happened!"
