Listening to Shangshu's words, Fu Hengyu's face turned pale. He glanced at Shen Yuerong and motioned her to say a few words for him.
But Shen Yuerong had no such intention, she just stood there with a calm look.
Fu Hengyu didn't dare to be too blatant and could only pretend to be innocent.
"Your Excellency the Minister has wronged me."
"I just got my job recently and I'm really busy, so I asked my wife to come and check on me. And by the way, I want to apologize on behalf of my family!"
"Rong'er is the most caring person, that's why she came here in person."
With just a few words, all the blame was removed.
Princess Yong'an curled her lips and then spoke to the minister.
"Rong'er and the others came a little early. I was afraid of waiting too long, so I got up in a hurry and felt a little dizzy."
"I thought General Fu was a man who loved his wife, but I didn't expect him to push his own wife to the front. How ridiculous!"
Princess Yong'an always says whatever she thinks and doesn't care what others say.
Fu Hengyu felt even worse after being treated like this.
Naturally, he did not dare to blame Princess Yong'an, and naturally put all the blame on Shen Yuerong.
It must be something between Shen Yuerong and her, which caused this couple to have a grudge against him.
Fu Hengyu glanced at Shen Yuerong and lowered his head again.
"The princess is right. I will cherish my wife in the future!"
Princess Yong'an sighed and sat back in her chair. The Minister washed his hands and sat next to Princess Yong'an. The servants brought hot cakes.
The Shangshu carefully cut the pastry into small pieces, let it dry for a while, and then gave it to Princess Yong'an to eat.
Princess Yong'an also habitually turned her head towards him, and it seemed that this was how they usually interacted with each other.
Shen Yuerong felt a little envious in her heart. Who wouldn't want such a caring husband?
Seeing that they were silent again, Fu Hengyu became anxious and thought of what happened a few days ago, so he spoke quickly.
"Speaking of which, I haven't apologized to the Minister and Princess Yong'an for the conflict between our two children last time. How about I host you two for dinner today and apologize to you two."
"Sister Rong'er has apologized for you a hundred times, and Sister Rong'er has also taken the responsibility for you."
"Don't mention it again at this time! The more you mention it, the more I feel that you are irresponsible and not a good person."
"General Fu, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I know what Rong'er has done for you, a man. But what about you? You haven't even written a letter to me in the past three years. If Rong'er wasn't still in the general's mansion, have you forgotten that you have such a wife?"
Princess Yong'an looked down on Fu Hengyu from the very beginning. If it weren't for Shen Yuerong, she would not have been willing to see Fu Hengyu and would have had him beaten out long ago.
Fu Hengyu had been being lectured since he entered the room, and at this point he was already holding his breath.
"I know about the young marquis's affairs. The princess feels aggrieved, but the affairs between me and Shen Yuerong have nothing to do with you. Isn't the princess too nosy?"
"Fu Hengyu."
Shen Yuerong put down the teacup in her hand, her tone a little nervous.
"Don't talk nonsense here."
He really doesn't know his place and dares to say anything. If the Empress Dowager blames him, the entire general's mansion will be finished.
She doesn't want to be implicated!
Princess Yong'an was so angry that she smashed the cup beside her to the ground.
"General Fu is really amazing! Since you said this is a matter between you and your wife, I can't ask about it. Then let me ask you, Rong'er is also the only descendant of the genius doctor, and is also a third-rank official personally hired by His Majesty. How do you treat her?"
"This is not a family matter! It's a matter between the court officials and the state!"
Everyone knows that Princess Yong'an is arrogant and domineering, but no one knows that she actually knows everything.
Fu Hengyu did not expect that Princess Yong'an would suddenly mention Shen Yuerong's third-rank official status, and he immediately became timid.
"Please calm down, my lady. I just said something that didn't fit my words."
Shen Yuerong didn't say anything, but just looked at the person in front of her coldly.
The Shangshu did not say a word, but seriously cut the cakes in front of him into small pieces one by one, and then took a whole piece and handed it to Shen Yuerong.
“Yong’an has always liked this kind of cake. It’s not too sweet and has a slight tea flavor. Madam Shen, would you like to try it?”
Shen Yuerong looked at Princess Yong'an and took the things only after getting her permission.
"Thank you, Shangshu."
The three of them were talking to each other, as if they were ignoring Fu Hengyu.
After a long time, the princess finally spoke.
"Get up! You are a general, and you have been kneeling like this all the time. People who don't know would think I am bullying you!"
Fu Hengyu's legs were numb from kneeling, and it took him a long time to stand up with the help of a chair beside him.
"Thank you, my lord."
But no one paid any attention to Fu Hengyu.
Princess Yong'an looked at Shen Yuerong and said, "If you really want to get a spot at the poetry meeting, just bring the person with you. If anyone asks, just say you are my friend, and naturally no one will dare to stop you."
Shen Yuerong nodded.
Princess Yong'an knew that she didn't really want to take Fu Hengyue with her, but things had come to this point.
"But this time, your wishes must come first. If I find out that someone is making things difficult for you, I will definitely not let him off easily."
Princess Yong'an said this to Fu Hengyu.
After hearing this, Fu Hengyu's expression became even uglier.
However, no one present cared.
Princess Yongan took Shen Yuerong's hand.
