If this kind of thing happened in the past, Shen Yuerong would have nothing to worry about, after all, it was his job, but now for some reason, she was a little overly worried.
"Your Majesty's will?"
Chi Mu nodded. "The prince sent the relief money to the disaster-stricken areas, but he did not leave any officials in charge there. With the money, ordinary people naturally stopped behaving as they did before. There were several fights and brawls. Your Highness took it very seriously, so he sent me to take a look."
"The prince went to deliver the money. If that's the case, why didn't the prince solve the problem nearby? Instead, why did he have to ask you to make a special trip from the capital? Why do I always feel that..."
Although Shen Yuerong didn't want to suspect too much, she was still a little worried now that things were on the surface.
"It's really okay."
Chi Mu pulled her and sat down.
"Your Majesty, this is for the innocent people. Besides, you and I both know the Crown Prince's behavior. If these things were handed over to him, I'm afraid that almost all of the people would be beaten by him to solve the problem."
Although the prince appears to be kind and gentle on the surface, he is actually cruel behind the scenes.
"One more thing."
Chi Mu looked at her and said, "I am going this time mainly because I am afraid that the prince will embezzle the silver you have given away with great difficulty, and then the people will still live in precarious conditions."
"This silver has already been presented to His Majesty, and it is not labeled as disaster relief grain. Your Highness, why would you do that?"
After all, those people are ordinary people, and they are the foundation of the royal family.
Shen Yuerong originally thought that he would not do so.
"You still think too highly of the Crown Prince. He is not really doing this for the good of the people. He does not want to be blamed by His Majesty."
He understood the prince and knew what was in his mind.
"After I leave the capital, no matter what happens, you must stay in Fuzhong and don't go out to play with the storm outside. If there is something you really want to do but can't do, you can ask someone to find Yongan, and never do it yourself."
Shen Yuerong looked at Chi Mu, then nodded.
"I understand. Go ahead."
Chi Mu left the city at night, not wanting to conflict with anyone, but he did not expect that someone would disturb Shen Yuerong's peaceful life in the early morning of the next day.
She looked at the people in front of her coldly, thinking that they were indeed going too far.
"What are Madam Du's plans for today?"
She looked at the woman in front of her, and Du Wan said coldly, "The prince is not in the capital now, I want to see if there is anyone around you who can protect you. If I were you, I would be a good dog right now."
"Being a dog? It's better to be Fu Hengyu's woman."
She looked at the person in front of her and said with a smile.
"The guy from your family came to see me a few days ago. Guess what he said to me?"
When Du Wan heard what Shen Yuerong said, she looked a little flustered. After all, they had been on high alert during this period, but still couldn't stop the two of them from meeting.
Shen Yuerong laughed out loud when she saw how nervous she was.
"So... you also care about something so much. You have been slandering my reputation and trying so hard to destroy my reputation. Have you ever thought about how terrible this is to me?"
Originally, the matter between Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu was a bit complicated. The person in the palace had always been reluctant about their relationship, and now it was spreading like wildfire outside.
She wished that everyone in the capital knew about her affair with Fu Hengyu and Chi Mu.
"You clearly know whether you were with him first or I was with the prince in this relationship, but you turned a blind eye and wanted to put all the blame on me."
It's not that Shen Yuerong doesn't know what happened during this period, but she doesn't want to care too much about it. Besides, her life is for herself and has nothing to do with others.
But now, he had just left and he came back to mock her, which made Shen Yuerong unable to bear it any longer.
"Du Wan, between you and me, who is more unscrupulous and who is not presentable? We both know it clearly. Don't always think that you are the most innocent."
Shen Yuerong still remembers what Du Wan had done.
"Everything has its fate, karma and retribution. You think this matter will just pass by so easily, or even turn a disaster into a blessing, and finally you have the title of the general's wife, which makes you glorious for a while, but you also have to take a good look at what people outside are saying about you and him now."
"No matter how bad my reputation and his is, we are now under the Crown Prince's command. Most officials in the capital have to give me and the general some respect."
"Yeah?"
I didn't expect that the General's Mansion has become what it is now.
The couple could actually walk around the capital with their heads held high.
"Of course? Or do you think so? Now you should be envious of us. How about this, if you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and swear to treat me like a mistress in the future, I will take you back to my house and make you a concubine."
"Weren't you afraid that I would rekindle my old relationship with him? Why did you take me back to the general's mansion at this moment?"
Shen Yuerong looked at Du Wan and realized that the person in front of her was truly a beauty with a venomous heart.
"I…"
Shen Yuerong sneered, "The Shen family is not a place where you can do whatever you want. There may be many people in this capital who are afraid of you because of your background, but I am not like that."
She stood up and said, "I don't bother to argue with you about the rumors outside. Of course, if there is a next time, I can let you witness how powerful I am."
He was just clinging to the Prince's Mansion. People who didn't know him might think that the general had done something beneficial to himself and others to be able to gain a firm foothold in the court and be respected by all the civil and military officials.
"How can you say such things? How can you threaten me? Do you know that I..."
"She is just a general's wife."
Shen Yuerong took out her own talisman from a cabinet on the side. "Look carefully, this is a third-rank official appointed by His Majesty himself. I just don't want to argue with you. Otherwise, even if your husband is here, you have to kneel down, kowtow twice, and call me Sir."
Shen Yuerong did have such ability, but after all, she had only received this honor before and had never experienced any actual experience, so she was usually unwilling to compete with them and just went with the flow.
But what Du Wan said today made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Please come back soon, Madam Du."
The Shen family is not the place where Du Wan can change however she wants.
"It's just that His Majesty casually conferred you an official title many years ago on the behalf of your dead father. Do you really think you are someone..."
"Whether it's just a casual appointment or not, my status is that of a third-rank official. If I pursue you or him, it would be a violation of the rules. I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can stop me."
