The family chat lasted until late at night, and Lord Shen became increasingly puzzled. He couldn't figure out what the Emperor and Uncle Ling were trying to do.
The third watch drum sounded. Seeing that the emperor and Uncle Ling were flirting with each other again and showed no intention of stopping, he could no longer bear it.
Lord Shen couldn't sit still any longer. These two people were talking in unison, and he couldn't guess what they were trying to do no matter how hard he racked his brains, so he said, "Your Majesty, you have summoned me to chat about family matters for three hours, from my recent situation to my grandfather's generation.
If Your Majesty has any opinions about me, please speak directly."
The emperor quickly denied it, saying, "I have no objection. How could I have any objection? It's a rare occasion for you to return to the capital, and we hit it off right away."
Ling Guojiu coughed lightly, touched his nose, and said guiltily: "Lord Shen, don't misunderstand me. His Majesty has no objection to you. He just wants to find a marriage for your son Shen."
"Your Majesty, will you personally arrange a marriage for Xu'er?"
Lord Shen looked at the emperor suspiciously and declined politely, "Xu'er is still young, his mind is impetuous and not stable enough, and he has not yet achieved success. It is not appropriate for him to start a family too early."
"Lord Shen, don't you even want to listen to the marriage that His Majesty is talking about?"
"Which one?"
Hearing what Uncle Ling said, Lord Shen looked at Concubine Shen in confusion, and guessed, "Did my son offend some girl?"
"No, I want to propose marriage to Lord Shen on behalf of Yan'er."
Concubine Shen, who was sipping tea and eating melon seeds and felt sleepy, spat out a mouthful of tea when she heard this. Feeling a little out of control, she put the teacup back down, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and began to cough muffledly.
Lord Shen didn't hear clearly for a moment, and confirmed: "What, who does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to propose marriage to?"
Ling Guojiu repeated with a tingling scalp: "Lord Shen, Yan'er wants to marry your eldest son, Shen Xu...Shen Shizi."
"Ah!" The emperor looked like he would die if he didn't say it, and would die of embarrassment if he said it, and panicked to try to smooth things over: "I just wanted to ask if Mr. Shen agreed. If not, just pretend we didn't say anything!"
Uncle Ling gave him a look that said, "That's right, this is too outrageous. How could a straight man like him, who is obsessed with his wife, agree to this?"
Lord Shen hissed meaningfully, looked at Uncle Ling with disdain, and then looked at the emperor with a complicated look.
He said angrily: "Nonsense!"
Uncle Ling said, "That's right, nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, are you humiliating me?"
Uncle Ling said, "This is outrageous!"
Lord Shen: "My Shen family is full of loyal and brave men. We have always been men with straight backs. How could we do such a thing as to be subservient to others?"
Uncle Ling scolded, "That's right, ridiculous!"
The emperor kept a stern face and let the two scold him, looking at Uncle Ling with an expression that said, "You grandson changed sides too quickly!"
Lord Shen continued to curse, "Although my Xu'er looks like a girl, he is at least a man. If he really has an ambiguous relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the whole world?"
Uncle Ling echoed: "Yes, it's embarrassing!"
Lord Shen turned around and looked at Uncle Ling with an unhappy look on his face: "I find that you are just a supporting role."
Ling Guojiu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Shen, don't get excited. This matter... is indeed outrageous, but the children's ideas must be respected. His Majesty and the Queen only have one prince, and you only have one legitimate son in the Marquis' Mansion. What if the two of them get upset..."
The emperor spoke up at the right time to save the situation: "Yes, yes, Shen Qing, don't get excited. If you don't agree with this matter, then let it go, but the person must be corrected..."
"You clearly want to bring them together!" Lord Shen looked at the emperor with a strange expression, not understanding their behavior at all.
He said sternly, "Anyway, my Ah Xu is a man. I will never allow such a huge joke to happen. As for the Crown Prince's lifelong affairs, it has nothing to do with me."
"Your Majesty, do you have anything important to discuss with me? If not, I will take my leave!" Lord Shen glared at Uncle Ling and snorted angrily. Without waiting for the emperor's reply, he was about to leave with a stern face and a wave of his sleeves.
For this reason, he rushed back home angrily, intending to drag his rebellious son up to question him and give him a good beating.
But when I got home, I saw this.
Murong Yan stood there stiffly, holding Ye Wanqing tightly, not daring to let go. He looked at Nanny Jiang for help, begging her with his eyes for help.
But Nanny Jiang had already lost her composure. She had never seen Lord Shen so furious. She only knew that after Lord Shen was summoned to the palace, he came back angrily to cause trouble for Shen Xu. Even moving his wife out couldn't stop him.
Now that he had barged in, the prince was unconscious and there was no time to pretend. He didn't know how to explain himself and could only stand there stiffly.
"Jiang Ning, you'd better tell us where Shen Xu is as soon as possible. Also, what's going on with this woman! How do you do things when we let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"
How could you allow a girl to lie naked on my son's bed like this? How shameful!" Lord Shen angrily scolded Nanny Jiang.
Originally, he was extremely polite to the people sent by Madam Fu. Even after he divorced Madam Fu, he respected the people left in the mansion by Madam Fu very much and even did not allow Butler Shen to send them out.
But today, he heard in the palace that the Crown Prince was entangled with his son and was about to get married. Instead of stopping him, the Emperor and his uncle tried to persuade him to bring them together?
How can this be tolerated!
As a result, the bastard had already run away, but Nanny Jiang and the Crown Prince still wanted to hide it from him and try to stop him?
"Murong Yan... run... my father, my father... he wants to harm you."
Ye Wanqing frowned, as if she had had another nightmare. She shook her head in panic and whispered, "Murong Yan... be careful! My dad... my dad has colluded with... they... want to kill you... run!"
When Nanny Jiang heard this, she was shocked. How could the prince be talking nonsense when he has a fever?
She quickly went up and pinched Ye Wanqing's philtrum, trying to wake her up.
But Ye Wanqing still shook her head in agony, tears streaming down her face. She seemed to be questioning, "Are you... my biological father? Am I... your daughter? Why... why do you treat me like this? What did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this?"
Suddenly, her body trembled and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Qingqing, Qingqing!" Murong Yan was also anxious and hurriedly shook her body, trying to wake her up.
"She's having a blood attack, don't hold her so tightly!" Seeing her vomiting blood, Nanny Jiang was also panicked. She quickly asked Murong Yan to put her on the bed and unbutton her underwear to help her breathe.
Lord Shen finally saw the person on the bed clearly. This was clearly his son's face. How did his son become a woman?
"What's going on! She, she is me, my son Chen Xu?" He quickly stepped forward and pushed aside the hair on the back of her neck, revealing the deep scar on her fair neck.
"My son, my son Shen Xu, how come he turned into a woman!"
There were so many explosive things today that Lord Shen stumbled back a few steps and almost fainted.
