Chapter 30: Beast in Human Clothes
Shen Jingyun was dressed in gorgeous clothes, just like a peacock with its tail spread out.
She was like this in her previous life, afraid that others would not know that she was in love.
The difference is that when Xie Changning saw her for the first time in her previous life, he asked her to change out of this ostentatious dress.
This time, Xie Changning didn't say a word.
Why did she stop Shen Jingyun and not allow her to marry Song Wenjing?
I'm afraid only this rebellious girl thinks that Song Wenjing truly loves her.
The eldest princess is ambitious and wants to support the fourth prince Xiao Yunrui to ascend to the throne. She tries every means to win over the Duke's Mansion, but her eldest brother is a loyal minister.
The eldest princess hit a wall several times, and only then did she set her sights on Shen Jingyun.
As long as Song Wenjing marries Shen Jingyun, it would be equivalent to dragging the Marquis' Mansion onto the Fourth Prince's boat. With her biological sister around, can the eldest brother still run away?
The eldest princess really has a good plan.
"Greetings, Princess." It was such a coincidence that they ran into the Princess as soon as they got off the car. Everyone came forward to pay their respects, and Song Wenjing followed beside the Princess.
Xie Changning glanced at Shen Jingyun calmly, only to see that she looked extremely shy, her eyes wanting to stick to Song Wenjing.
This was the man she had to marry in her previous life.
Song Wenjing was dressed in a moon-white robe, a jade crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant and dashing.
But who would have thought that he was a beast in human clothing?
What’s the big deal about sleeping with flowers and willows?
Relying on the support of the eldest princess, his favorite thing to do is to rob women. He has very strong tastes and his favorite targets are married young women.
In the previous life, Shen Jingyun had just gotten married not long ago.
Then the news broke that Song Wenjing was infected with syphilis. It seemed that he had already contracted it at that time.
Song Wenjing also looked at Shen Jingyun frequently, and the two of them exchanged glances, ignoring everyone present.
It wasn't until the eldest princess glanced at him that Song Wenjing withdrew his gaze. He quickly followed the eldest princess without looking at Shen Jingyun again.
Shen Jingyun's heart sank instantly. She had seen it all. The eldest princess did not allow her to have any contact with Brother Wen Jing anymore.
The eldest princess must have known that her mother was going to arrange a marriage for her, and that the Marquis's Mansion had lost all face in the past few days. Naturally, the eldest princess would not allow such a daughter-in-law to enter the house.
It's all my mother's fault.
She hated her mother.
"Grandma..." She looked at Qin in a panic, grabbed her hand, and was so anxious that she almost cried.
Qin Shi also saw it just now. The eldest princess's attitude had changed. Her heart sank and she gave Shen Jingyun a comforting look.
She has two things to do at today's birthday party. One is to ruin Su Qingwan's reputation, and the other is to make Jingyun get what she wants.
Fortunately, Song Wenjing remains the same as always. As long as his attitude remains unchanged, this matter will not be difficult to handle.
Shen Jingyun finally calmed down. She and Shen Jingshu supported Qin on the left and right, and stayed away from Xie Changning.
The group stepped into the Duke's Mansion.
"Sister Xie, wait for me." Xu chased after them with a smile. She called so affectionately and, under the gaze of everyone, she held Xie Changning's arm affectionately.
This was something Xie Changning had not expected. She had thought that Xu would hate her. It could be said that Shen Zhixu had ruined Qingwan's life, and even if Qingwan remarried, there would be many obstacles.
Qin looked towards them and saw that only Xu and a few maids were there. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Where's Su Qingwan? Didn't she say she was coming to the banquet with Xu?
Xie Changning glanced at her and then asked knowingly, "Sister Xu, why didn't you see Qingwan?"
"Qingwan was feeling unwell, so I didn't bring her here." Xu deliberately said it loudly. She looked at Qin meaningfully, only to see Qin's face stiffen. How could this happen? Did Xu know something?
Xu pretended to know nothing. In fact, she had to thank her sister Xie. She was such a kind person that she even considered these things for Qingwan.
From then on, wherever Xie Changning went, Xu followed, and they seemed closer than real sisters. Whenever someone cast malicious eyes at them, Xu would glare back fiercely.
Soon the banquet began.
Xu was next to Xie Changning.
Xie Changning was a little absent-minded. Even though she had arranged everything, she still felt a little worried.
The wife of the Duke of Lu is the prince's aunt, and the prince will definitely come to attend the birthday banquet today.
In his previous life, the crown prince was deposed on this day.
The queen died early, and although the emperor did not appoint another queen, Xiao Yunrui's biological mother, Concubine Yun, remained in favor and could be said to be the only one in power in the harem. This made them have inappropriate thoughts.
She thought about it and decided that the most direct way to stop Xiao Yunrui from taking the throne was to change the prince's fate.
The prince has a very high reputation among the ministers and the people. As long as the prince remains in power, Xiao Yunrui will never be able to replace him.
In his previous life, only a very few people knew what the prince had done to cause the emperor to be so furious.
It was only later that Xie Changning found out why the emperor was so furious. The prince had actually raped Liu, the daughter-in-law of the Imperial Censor Xue Tongguang, while drunk, forcing Liu to commit suicide.
What kind of person is the prince, and what is the occasion today?
Even if the prince is a beast, he would never do such a thing.
Why does His Majesty believe it so firmly?
It was because this Liu was no ordinary person. The two fell in love at first sight when they were young. Later, due to some strange circumstances, the prince married someone else and Liu had to leave. I'm afraid only they themselves knew the regret in their hearts.
The person behind this is really smart.
Only by using Liu can the prince be lured into the game and overthrown in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Liu was sitting in the seat opposite Xie Changning. She could see Liu as soon as she raised her eyes. She couldn't help but look at Liu a few more times. Fortunately, no one noticed her.
"Sister Xie, do you have a grudge against Madam Xue?" Suddenly, Xu gently tugged at Xie Changning's sleeve. She had already made up her mind that if Sister Xie really had a grudge against Liu, she would help Sister Xie no matter what, no matter whether she was right or wrong. She only knew that Sister Xie had done Qingwan a favor.
