Chapter 40: Slap in the face
The first person to receive this news was Xie Changning.
She didn't even bat an eyelid. Did she really think the eldest princess was someone easy to get along with?
What does it mean to use a sedan chair to carry someone at night?
Which princess was carried back like this?!
If she was protecting her, the eldest princess would naturally not dare to do this. Today in the Duke of Lu's Mansion, when she lay there, the eldest princess knew what her attitude was.
Well, this is what happened last night.
It's ridiculous that Shen Jingyun is still waiting to become the princess of a county!
Songbaiyuan.
"Why are you panicking? But Brother Wen Jing sent someone to propose marriage? I knew that Brother Wen Jing would be responsible for me." After all, her status was there, and the eldest princess had always liked her very much and had repeatedly expressed that she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law. Shen Jingyun smiled and put down the chopsticks in her hand.
She was so excited that she didn't notice that Qin's face looked a little ugly. Who would come to propose marriage in the middle of the night?
Things were definitely not what Jingyun thought.
Shen Zhiyan and the others did not speak.
"Tell me what's going on?" Qin said to Mother Huang.
Mother Huang didn't even dare to raise her head. "The Princess sent a sedan chair to pick up the Fourth Young Lady. She said she was going to take her back to be the Prince's concubine."
"What did you say? Say it again!" The smile on Shen Jingyun's face froze instantly, and she could hardly believe her ears.
The eldest princess sent a sedan chair to carry her back to be Brother Wen Jing's concubine?
How is this possible?
What is her identity?
Her maternal grandfather was the Duke of Zhenguo, her mother was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and she was the fourth legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an!
How could she be someone's concubine?
Even if that person was Brother Wen Jing, she would never agree to be his concubine.
She wants to be a princess of a county!!!
Qin's hand trembled, and the silver chopsticks fell to the ground with a clatter. She knew that this matter would not be easily resolved.
The eldest princess still couldn't let Jingyun go.
But how could her Jingyun become someone's concubine?
Before Madam Huang could speak, Nanny Gui beside the eldest princess walked over with a smile, "Fourth Miss, you heard correctly. His Highness specially sent this old servant to pick up the Fourth Miss and take her back to the mansion to be the Prince's concubine. The sedan chair is already waiting at the door of the Marquis's mansion. Although there's no need to pay attention to an auspicious time for taking a concubine, it's not good to delay too long. Please come in, Fourth Miss!"
Her smile did not reach her eyes, and she looked unquestionable. Even Qin's aura was far inferior to hers. At first glance, she was the nanny in charge of the eldest princess.
"No, I don't believe it. How could the princess treat me like this? Where is Brother Wen Jing? I want to see Brother Wen Jing. He said he would marry me, and I don't want to be his concubine." Shen Jingyun's face was ashen. She shook her head desperately, looking shaky.
Shen Zhiyan stood up and said, "Madam, you must have made a mistake. My sister is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. How can she be someone's concubine?"
Shen Jingyun drugged Song Wenjing, and the two were caught red-handed. It was not a glorious thing, so the old lady did not mention it to him and Shen Zhizhou.
Nanny Gui laughed. "Second Young Master, you're joking. This was naturally the case in the past. Who would dare to ask the daughter of a marquis to be a concubine? That's why His Highness always planned to let the Duke marry the Fourth Young Lady. But then the Fourth Young Lady drugged the Duke at the birthday banquet of the Duke of Lu's wife. The two were caught red-handed, and the Duke's reputation was ruined."
"What!" Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou were both shocked.
The two looked at Qin at the same time, "Grandma, is this true?"
Seeing Qin pursed her lips and said nothing, what else did the two of them not understand?
"But even so, there is no reason to let Fourth Sister be the prince's concubine. Not to mention that they already love each other, after something like this happened, the prince should marry Fourth Sister." Shen Zhiyan said with a serious face.
Qin nodded repeatedly, "That's right. Please tell the princess that my Jingyun will never be allowed to be a concubine."
"Yes, Fourth Sister must not be a concubine." Shen Jingshu also understood the seriousness of this matter. Fourth Sister had caused this kind of incident, which ruined her reputation. If Fourth Sister became a concubine, how could she get married?
Nanny Gui chuckled softly, her face full of undisguised sarcasm. "How ridiculous! The fourth young lady did such a despicable thing, yet she still wanted to marry the prince as his legal wife? How could a fallen woman like her deserve that?"
When she said "a withered flower and a broken willow", Shen Jingyun felt as if she had been slapped several times on the face. Her legs softened and she fell to the ground. "That's not how it counts. I gave my innocent body to Brother Wen Jing, how can this be counted..." She really couldn't say the words "a withered flower and a broken willow".
"Why doesn't this count?" Nanny Gui's words were heartfelt. "Since ancient times, wives have been betrothed to concubines. Fourth Miss used such despicable means. You weren't even worthy of being a concubine to the prince. It's only because of His Highness's generosity that he reluctantly agreed to let you enter the palace as a concubine."
She paused, "How could it be that the Fourth Young Lady has given her body to the Prince, yet she still wants to marry someone else as his wife? Looking across the entire Shengjing, who would want to marry the Fourth Young Lady? Do you really think others are just suckers?"
Qin couldn't refute it.
This matter will spread throughout Shengjing tomorrow. No, it may become a hot topic in less than a day.
Apart from Song Wenjing, it is impossible for Jingyun to marry anyone else!
"Please come in, Fourth Miss!" Aunt Gui made a gesture of invitation to Shen Jingyun, and the two sturdy maids beside her strode towards Shen Jingyun.
Obviously, at this point, Shen Jingyun had no choice but to leave or not.
"No, I don't want it. You are too bullying. I want to see my mother. My mother will never agree to let me be someone's concubine." At this time, Shen Jingyun thought of Xie Changning. It was not the time for her to ask Xie Changning to kneel down for her.
"That's right. I, an old woman, can't make the decision. I still have to ask Changning's opinion. Please wait for a moment, Ma'am." Qin asked someone to invite Xie Changning.
"That's not necessary. This is the order of His Highness. I believe the Marquis's wife would not dare to disobey." Even at this time, the Marquis's wife still did not show up. What was there for Nanny Gui to not understand? She was firm in her attitude.
Two sturdy women grabbed Shen Jingyun on the left and right and left.
Shen Jingyun was terrified. She struggled desperately, "Grandma, second brother, please save me!"
"How dare you! This is the Marquis' Mansion. How dare you openly rob people? Come quickly!" Shen Zhiyan roared, and the guards outside rushed in immediately.
Nanny Gui came prepared, bringing with her twenty guards.
The guards of the Marquis' Mansion and the guards of the Princess' Mansion fought each other.
"Fourth sister, come with me quickly." Shen Zhizhou knew some kung fu. He grabbed Shen Jingyun and left. The two of them rushed to Qixia Courtyard desperately.
As long as my mother is around, even if those people have a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to kidnap people openly.
Xie Changning was eating leisurely.
The door opened with a bang.
"Mother, please save me. I don't want to be anyone's concubine, even to Brother Wen Jing. Don't you want me to marry that poor scholar? I agree. You can even marry him right away." Shen Jingyun rushed to Xie Changning in panic.
Xie Changning raised an eyebrow lightly, "What's the matter? Aren't you going to be the Princess of a County?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Gui came after her with her men.
