Chapter 29 You Can Die as Much as You Want
"What?" Qin was shocked. She never thought that Shen Zhiyan would actually go to find Pei Zhi.
In fact, she said this just to ruin Xie Changning's image in the hearts of the children.
If she really wanted to say that there was something going on between Xie Changning and Pei Zhi, she had no real evidence, but she once took Xie Changning to a banquet, and she remembered that Xie Changning had just married into the Marquis' Mansion at that time.
She didn't know what had happened, but the whole city was under martial law on the way back home. Pei Zhi took people to check all the carriages on the road one by one. When she left, she accidentally noticed that Pei Zhi looked at Xie Changning differently from others, and there seemed to be an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
She naturally knew that Xie Changning and Pei Zhi had never had any contact for so many years, otherwise she would have made a fuss long ago. Why would she wait until today?
"If it's not Lord Pei, it must be someone else." Qin said. In fact, she knew in her heart that based on Pei Zhi's conditions, he could have any woman he wanted.
How could he fall for a widow like Xie Changning!
Everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with her words.
Shen Zhiyan's face was solemn. "Grandmother, the most urgent matter is eldest brother's matter. He must not bear the reputation of being divorced, otherwise we will all be finished."
Others also spoke up to agree.
Qin sneered, "Don't worry about that! In two days, there will be the birthday banquet for the wife of Duke Lu, and Su Qingwan will also be there. Grandmother has already made arrangements, so you don't have to worry."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, grandma!" Shen Zhiyan led a few people to stand up and bowed solemnly to Qin.
Qin waved her hand and asked them to go back and rest, and only Shen Jingyun stayed.
"Grandma, on the day of the birthday banquet for the wife of Duke Lu, the eldest princess and Brother Wen Jing will also be there. You must help me, otherwise mother will make me marry that poor student. I will not marry anyone else except Brother Wen Jing." Shen Jingyun leaned on Qin with grievance, pulling her arm and acting coquettishly.
Qin smiled and patted her, "Don't worry! Grandmother has already made all the arrangements. You will be happily married into the Princess's mansion."
The eldest princess is the only sister of the emperor. She has been deeply trusted by the emperor over the years and her status is unmatched. What is more important?
The eldest princess also intends to marry into the marquis's family.
In her opinion, there is no better marriage than this, but that stupid woman Xie Changning refuses to allow it.
The more she disagreed, the more she wanted Jingyun to marry Song Wenjing to pave the way for her brothers.
After receiving Qin's assurance, Shen Jingyun left happily.
Qixia Courtyard.
Xie Changning had been sending secret guards to monitor Songbaiyuan. Hearing their reports, Madam Du was furious. "Can't the old lady hear that Madam's words were just angry words? It's fine if she doesn't trust Madam, but how can you gentlemen and ladies be so suspicious of Madam? From what she said, she seems to be planning to deal with Miss Qingwan at the birthday banquet for the wife of the Duke of Lu. We must be on guard against Madam."
When Chen Zhiyan mentioned Pei Zhi, he deliberately lowered his voice. The secret guards did not hear what he said, so Xie Changning did not know that Chen Zhiyan had gone to find Pei Zhi.
How could Xie Changning not understand them? She had known for a long time that they would never let Qingwan go. There was room for maneuver in this matter. All she had to do was throw a basin of dirty water on Qingwan, and even better, catch them in the act.
In this way, it can be said that Qingwan has someone outside, and Shen Zhixu will become a perfect victim.
Xie Changning's eyes narrowed, "Don't worry, Mom! I've already made arrangements."
Otherwise, how would Qin know that Qingwan would attend the birthday party of the wife of Duke Lu?
She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
In the previous life, if she hadn't stopped him, Shen Jingyun would have almost gotten into trouble at the birthday banquet of the old lady of Duke Lu.
Instead of being grateful to her, this rebellious girl held a grudge against her.
In this life, she can do whatever she wants to die.
When that day comes, she will have an important thing to do, which concerns the survival of the Duke's Mansion.
The next day, Xie Changning received a surprise as soon as he got up. Xie Lin not only handed the letter to his elder brother personally, but also brought back his elder brother's reply.
My eldest brother said in the letter that he had successfully captured the spy and would be able to return to the court soon.
Xie Changning couldn't help crying with joy. In this life, his elder brother would not die on the battlefield again, he would return in triumph.
Mother and sister-in-law will be fine too...
It was not until near noon that Shen Zhixu woke up.
"My dear, you finally woke up. You had a burning fever last night and almost scared Qian'er and me to death. Fortunately, the imperial physician came, so you were able to survive this disaster safely." Bai Xizhi couldn't help crying with joy.
Shen Zhixu was still a little dazed when he woke up. As his eyes gradually became clearer, everything that happened yesterday slowly surfaced in his mind. He subconsciously asked, "Who sent the imperial physician?"
Bai Xizhi did not hide it from him, "It's the old lady."
Hearing this, Shen Zhixu laughed at himself. What on earth was he expecting?
His mother no longer wanted him.
He had just woken up when Mother Huang arrived. "The old lady told the prince to rest and recuperate. As for the rest, she will make arrangements. It won't be long before she asks the lady to personally welcome the prince back home. She will also never let the prince bear the reputation of being divorced."
Bai Xizhi was very excited after hearing this.
Shen Zhixu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Grandma, you think the same thing as me. I have already thought of how to deal with Su Qingwan. Please tell Grandma for me, Mom."
Mother Huang hurried forward.
Shen Zhixu whispered a few words in her ear, and Mother Huang smiled and said, "The prince and the old lady have the same idea. Don't worry, the prince! The old lady has already made all the arrangements."
Shen Zhixu knew better than anyone that he must not bear the reputation of being divorced, otherwise even if he succeeded in becoming an official in the Ministry of Revenue, he would definitely not go far.
It was Su Qingwan who wronged him first, so don't blame him for being cruel.
He continued, "As for returning to the Marquis' Mansion, please don't worry about it, Grandmother. I want to make Mother regret this. Unless she begs me on her knees, I will never set foot in the Marquis' Mansion again in my life."
His words poured a basin of cold water on Bai Xizhi, instantly extinguishing her fiery heart.
In fact, she wanted to say that it was not necessary, but she knew Shen Zhixu's temperament very well, so she did not dare to speak.
Mother Huang tried to persuade Shen Zhixu a few more times, but no matter what she said, Shen Zhixu didn't listen.
Mother Huang had no choice but to put down the supplements and leave.
"Xizhi, believe me. Even without the Marquis' Mansion, I can still let you and Qian'er live a life of luxury and will never let you suffer any injustice." Shen Zhixu held her hand and said solemnly.
Bai Xizhi slowly lowered her eyes, pretending to be shy, but in fact it was to hide the displeasure in her eyes, "Of course I believe my husband."
Shen Zhixu continued, "When I get better, I'll marry you openly, okay? Give Qian'er a legitimate identity, and from now on you will be my wife and children."
Bai Xizhi nodded. Blood ties cannot be severed. She didn't believe that Madam Hou really wanted to abandon her son, Shen Zhixu.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the birthday banquet for the wife of Duke Lu.
