Shen Yuerong looked at her, and Fu Hengyue took two steps back in fear. The things that had happened were still vivid in her mind, which really made her feel a little scared.
"Why are you hiding? I'm not some monster that can eat you."
She looked at her and said, "You look really decent in this outfit now. It seems that the prince likes you very much."
"Chen Yuerong."
"I remember that when Du Wan first came back with your brother, you always disliked her because you thought she was just a concubine who was not worthy of being on the stage and could not give you any preferential treatment, so...but now you didn't expect that you would become someone else's concubine."
Fu Hengyue has always been a proud person, but she was tortured by Pei Xian'er and her group so much that she had to agree to the marriage with the prince, just to gain an advantage over those people.
It’s a pity that although the prince took her into the Eastern Palace, he never even had a formal ceremony with her.
After all, if the prince is guilty of something, or indulges in love affairs, it will only lead to more gossip.
So it was only carried into the Prince's Palace quietly.
To put it bluntly, if the prince feels that the General's Mansion is useless in the future, he can just throw her out and no one will be able to say anything.
"Why are you so arrogant? Although the Crown Prince and I have not performed the ceremony, everyone in the East Palace knows that I am the Crown Prince's Consort. Unlike you, although I seem to be in love with the Prince, I have never been famous and have not even been recognized by everyone."
Fu Hengyue thought that even though she was a concubine, being recognized by others was the best thing.
Better than Shen Yuerong. Although she goes through thick and thin with that man, she still has no bonus of status.
Shen Yuerong just felt that the person in front of her was so stupid.
"Do you think that I have not married him yet because of the opposition in the court, or because His Majesty or the Queen Mother did not agree? It is just because... I don't want to give my true heart to the wrong person again."
Chen Yuerong looked at Fu Hengyue with some pity, "You must have had a hard time recently. I heard that you were tortured by the young lady of the Pei family. It's really pitiful. You and the young lady of the Pei family are the same age. You should have grown up happily and joyfully, with your family pampering you."
It’s just a pity that some people can do whatever they want just because of their family’s wealth.
Therefore, some people can only give up everything they have just for the sake of their family's piety.
"you…"
Chen Yuerong looked at her, "You are willing to degenerate, so don't bring others with you. The Crown Prince's Consort must also be conferred by the Queen and the palace, and now you are just a servant brought into the palace by the Crown Prince, and you really think you are so noble."
Fu Hengyue was somewhat frustrated by her consecutive words, and his tone became much colder.
"No matter what the relationship between me and the prince is, at least your life is safe. I advise you to listen to my brother and don't stand on the wrong side. This time your parents won't be there to protect you."
Shen Yuerong knew very well that she was alone now, so naturally she would no longer pin all her hopes on one person as she did before.
I would never think of relying on him alone to live.
Fu Hengyu had abandoned his wife before, so he is even less trustworthy now.
"Trust your brother?"
Shen Yuerong said with some sarcasm.
"When I was in Jiangnan, every time I was in trouble, it was the prince and his people who came to my aid, but your brother was indifferent and turned a blind eye. And now you are telling me that I should believe your brother and submit to him like before?"
Things have changed, and she is no longer the Miss Shen who was obsessed with him.
Naturally, you will never learn to make choices that you will regret again.
Fu Hengyue probably didn't expect that Shen Yuerong would really refuse a toast and drink a forfeit.
"You should have seen the Crown Prince's handiwork, and you should also know that you said you would not obey the Crown Prince's wishes. I'm afraid you will not be able to live in peace in the future."
"If I listen to the prince, will I be able to live a comfortable life?"
When Shen Yuerong raised her eyes, she saw Chi Mu standing at the door. He had a worried and hesitant look on his face. He just stood at the door like a robot.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
Shen Yuerong raised her eyebrows and looked at him at the door through the man's figure.
He didn't expect that he was discovered even though he had hidden himself, so he walked out embarrassedly and put the pastries in his hand on the table.
"I happened to be working there today, and I thought you really like their cakes, and you're usually a bit lazy and don't want people to buy them for you, so I brought some for you."
Shen Yuerong looked at the steaming pastries on the table, wiped her hands with a towel, opened it and took out a piece.
"Their cakes are sweet and sticky, but they are too far away. Qi Bo and the others are old, and I don't want to bother them. I can only pretend that they don't like it."
Shen Yuerong took a big bite, her face full of satisfaction.
He habitually took the cup and placed the warm tea beside him. Wherever your fingers can reach.
The room seemed to become warmer.
But the two people who were ignored felt uncomfortable.
Madam Fu even coughed a few times, trying to draw the attention of the two.
Shen Yuerong raised her head and looked at the two of them. "Go back first. I will consider what you said. When I have considered it, I will give you an answer."
Madam Fu wanted to say something, but Fu Hengyue stopped her.
"Let us wait for your news."
Watching Fu Hengyue turn away angrily, Shen Yuerong smiled helplessly.
At the gate of Shen's house, on the carriage.
Fu Hengyue looked at Old Madam Fu with some disappointment.
"Mother, my brother is now in a different position, and so am I. Jing'er's marriage has also been decided. Our Fu family is no longer the same as it was before. Why should we ask her to do that? She jumped to her death on her own, and it has nothing to do with you and me."
Madam Fu sighed, looking somewhat worried, "It's not your brother's fault. I originally thought your brother was asking for the Du family lady's favor, so I thought as long as he was happy, it would be fine. Who would have thought... he had so many things buried in his heart, and he never wanted to tell me as his mother. Whenever I passed by his yard, I would often see him staring at Rong'er's old portrait in a daze. I know your brother still likes it."
"What's the point of my brother liking her? You can see that Shen Yuerong's heart is now on the prince. She won't go along with the general. It's better to get too close to him. It will only make the prince more suspicious of my brother's loyalty. Mother, you have to persuade my brother. The prince is in a troubled time now. If my brother can win the prince's heart, we will all have merits when the prince turns over."
