Chapter 116 A Night of Spring Breeze
"Oh? What happened?" Xie Changning immediately became interested.
Mother Du was talking in a state of bewilderment. "It's Princess Duanyang. The whole capital has heard about it now. Last night, Princess Duanyang got drunk and had sex with a horse slave in the mansion. In the morning, the servants caught them red-handed. Of course, you could say they were caught red-handed."
"Princess Duanyang and the horse slaves in the mansion?" Xie Changning looked confused.
Princess Duanyang, who is so arrogant that she refuses to marry anyone other than Pei Zhi, is actually having an affair with a horse slave in her own house?
Xie Changning knew all these words, but when they were put together, they were really shocking!
Mother Du nodded vigorously. "It's spread all over Shengjing, how could it be fake?"
Xie Changning, “…”
All right!
I can’t believe that Princess Duanyang is such a whimperer.
But she always felt that there was something unusual about this matter.
Even if Princess Duanyang was caught red-handed, how did this matter spread?
He even suppressed the fact that Shen Zhizhou had attempted to murder his own brother.
At this moment, Princess Duanyang was almost going crazy.
"Ah... Who is it? How dare he spread this matter? Once I find him, I will grind him to dust." When she woke up, she found herself lying on the same couch with a lowly horse slave, naked.
Princess Duanyang had already had a fit.
Because she was unhappy, she drank too much last night and then watched the moon in the garden. Maybe because she was drunk, she saw Pei Zhi in a trance.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, she rushed forward and grabbed Pei Zhi's sleeve, begging him not to leave.
It was Pei Zhi who spent the night with her, but after waking up he turned into a lowly horse slave. How could she accept this?
In a rage, she ordered someone to drag the horse slave away and punish him.
She thought the matter ended there, but who would have thought that it would spread outside.
Ahhhh!
She was really pissed off.
It's not like she hasn't done things like having sex after drinking, but those were all private matters. How could others know about it?
If Pei Zhi knew about this, he would definitely despise her.
How could she marry Pei Zhi?
She went crazy and smashed everything in the bedroom.
"His Majesty summons the princess to enter the palace immediately." Just then a eunuch walked in bravely.
Princess Duanyang showed a bit of panic on her face. "It's over. Father must have found out. This time he will definitely arrange another marriage for me. No, I won't marry anyone else except Pei Zhi."
Although this incident caused a big stir, it concerned the royal reputation, so few people dared to discuss it. At most, they would say a few words in private.
Although the story of Shen Zhizhou plotting to murder Shen Zhiyan for the position of crown prince was overshadowed, it still caused a lot of controversy.
Wu looked as if she was about to cry but couldn't. "Is the prefect crazy? Zhiyan is his biological brother, how could he kill him like this? And Zhiyan has such a temper. It's obvious that these two brothers will fight to the death for the position of Crown Prince."
"Xie Changning is so vicious. She just wants the two kids to fight. She must have done it on purpose." She gritted her teeth in hatred and looked up at Qin Kaiji. "Master, your palms and backs are all flesh and blood. Are we just going to watch this happen?"
Qin Kaiji was equally anxious. This was fratricide...
He frowned, said nothing, and stood up and left.
"Master, master, please say something!" No matter how Wu shouted, he didn't turn his head.
Fu'an was beaten with a stick yesterday, and today it is Furui who is responsible for serving Shen Zhizhou.
At this moment, Shen Zhizhou didn't know about this. Fu Rui looked absent-minded and was serving him breakfast. Fu Rui accidentally dropped a bowl.
Shen Zhizhou looked unhappy, "What happened today? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
Fu Rui was waiting for Shen Zhizhou to say this. He plopped to his knees and said, "Young Master, something happened. The news that the Second Young Master was bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday has spread. Everyone is saying that the Young Master did not hesitate to murder his own brother in order to become the Crown Prince."
"Okay! I was wondering how Second Brother could let this matter go so easily. It turns out he was waiting for me here! He's the only one with a mouth, but I don't have one?" He sneered, then whispered a few words in Fury's ear.
He and his second brother had completely fallen out.
You don’t have to worry about anything anymore.
Over there, Shen Zhiyan was still in the dark, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
If Xie Changning hadn't given the order, would Fu Rui dare to say anything?
Chen Jingshu has learned her lesson these days and comes to pay her respects to Xie Changning properly every day. She is just pretending to do so because she still holds a grudge against Xie Changning.
The mother and daughter were lukewarm towards each other.
Today is the day when Jiang Hongsheng returns to his roots.
At the same time, it was the day when Chen Lanyue entered the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.
The Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion has been prepared and all the clan members have arrived.
Fang, Qi Zhengye, and other relatives were all waiting in the front hall.
Qi Zhengye has already sent people to pick up Chen Lanyue and her son. He glanced at Fang from time to time, fearing that Fang would turn against him today.
Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Fang curled her lips and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, my lord! Since I agreed to let them enter the mansion, there is absolutely no reason to regret it."
"Looking across the entire Kyoto, who is as virtuous as my wife?" Qi Zhengye smiled awkwardly.
He didn't notice the coldness that flashed across Fang's eyes.
Fang raised her hand holding the handkerchief slightly, "Hmph, a philandering man, does he think she cares about him?"
She had long wanted to leave the father behind and keep the son...
I just haven't had the opportunity.
Now that she has finally waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could she miss it?
Shen Lanyue can enter the mansion as a concubine, but Jiang Hongsheng...
Soon, Shen Lanyue entered the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion in a sedan chair. She had already sent people to Hongsheng and believed that there would be no problems.
Led by the old woman, she walked slowly into the front hall. Because the wound on her face had not healed yet, she covered her face with a veil.
"I pay my respects to the Marquis and Madam!" She bowed and saluted Qi Zhengye and Fang.
Qi Zhengye raised his right hand slightly, motioning her to get up.
Fang's tone was very calm. "No matter what your previous status was, once you step through this door today, you will be a concubine of the Marquis of Xuanwu. I hope you will abide by the code of conduct for women and refrain from such shameless acts again."
What she did was tantamount to slapping Shen Lanyue in public.
Shen Lanyue felt her face burning, and she looked up at Qi Zhengye.
Qi Zhengye turned his head away and avoided her gaze.
Shen Lanyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly. What a waste! Even if Fang was so powerful, they could not eat him.
She suppressed her anger and said, "I will remember Madam's teachings."
When a concubine comes home, she has to serve tea to the wife.
"Madam, please have some tea." Shen Lanyue knelt in front of Fang and took the tea handed to her by the maid.
Fang sat there, not even glancing at the tea in her hand. She scoffed, "I've never seen a concubine offer tea to the mistress in such a cryptic way. You don't even take me, the mistress, seriously."
Shen Lanyue quickly explained, "Madam, it's not like that. It's just that I have a wound on my face..."
Before she could finish her words, Fang interrupted her in a deep voice, "Even if you have a wound on your face, you can't break the rules of the mansion."
"My Lord!" Shen Lanyue turned her head and looked at Qi Zhengye.
Qi Zhengye frowned and said, "Listen to my wife, unless you don't want Hongsheng to be included in the family tree!"
Shen Lanyue knew that Fang would make things difficult for her today, and sure enough, she endured it for Hongsheng.
She slowly took off her veil, revealing her scarred face. "Please have some tea, Madam!"
"Please take a good look at what a beautiful lady you have welcomed into your house, my lord." Fang glanced at Qi Zhengye indifferently before taking the tea from Chen Lanyue's hand.
But she just took it, without drinking a sip, and handed it to the old woman beside her.
This action was tantamount to giving Shen Lanyue another slap in the face.
Chen Lanyue nearly bit her back teeth to pieces, but she suddenly felt relieved when she thought of something. Once Hongsheng was included in the family tree, from then on, the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion would belong to them and their son.
"Something happened to the Marquis, and Young Master Hongsheng is missing." Just then a guard hurried in.
