Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Marry Shen Rang and you will be secretly happy...
Zheng Shuangyu was somewhat surprised to see her indifferent reaction.
She thought that this evil princess really fell in love with her Jingzhi.
She restrained her emotions for a moment, her face still showing a distant and cold respect. "Your Highness, there are too many people here, and there are too many gossips. Could this servant of yours have a private chat with you?"
Yuan Susu was much more restrained outwardly and just nodded, asking her to follow her in.
But once you enter...
Su Su turned around, unable to hide the smile on her face, and directly shook her hand: "You are finally back to the capital. When will you and Shen Rang be married? If you need me, I will go and ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage now!"
Zheng Shuangyu was stunned by Yuan Susu.
I thought it would be a fierce battle with hidden daggers in each other's arms, but I didn't expect... the other side was actually a friendly force!?
"Your Highness doesn't like... Jingzhi..."
Su Su was choked: "Ahem... I like him? Please don't misunderstand me!"
"Chen Rang is just an iceberg, he hits my hand at every turn, and his words are particularly vicious..."
Yuan Susu was speaking enthusiastically, but seeing Zheng Shuangyu's embarrassment, she tried to justify herself and praised him against her will:
"Of course, Chen Rang still has many strengths. For example... he's tall; for example, he has a handsome face, which is pleasing to the eye. He's also rich! Sometimes he's quite protective of his children..."
Su Su realized that if Shen Rang had not killed the eldest princess in the script, she might have been tempted now.
But, what ifs?
Su Su gathered her thoughts and spoke in a whimsical way: "Anyway, just be happy about marrying him~"
Seeing Zheng Shuangyu's face blushing.
Shen Rang had been pestering her for the past few days, and no one knew what was wrong with him.
Even if it was to repay the favor of shielding the arrow from his body, a person who was born in a noble family and was always self-disciplined and respectful would not do such a thing!
So, there must be a conspiracy.
And Susu can now take advantage of Zheng Shuangyu and Shen Rang's marriage, and when he is too busy to take care of himself, quietly leave Shangjing City with Lin Zhuo.
"But..." Zheng Shuangyu hesitated for a long time, biting her lip and feeling a little embarrassed to speak. "To be honest with you, Your Highness, Jingzhi... doesn't seem to have any such intentions towards me."
Yuan Susu raised an eyebrow. "Strategy to capture Shen Rang? Wouldn't that just run into my trap?"
"Love is something that is developed slowly and then develops naturally," Su Su felt that dealing with Chen Rang was easy. "Leave this matter to me, and rest assured!"
The first step is to create an unintentional touch.
After all, Zheng Shuangyu is a lady from a noble family and cannot compare to Su Su's thick skin. Shen Rang had just come out of the emperor's tent.
After walking a few steps, Zheng Shuangyu "accidentally" appeared, holding her head with her hands and trying to fall onto Shen Rang.
Chen Rang frowned and looked at Zheng Shuangyu falling towards him. He quickly pulled the jade book beside him to block in front of him.
Zheng Shuangyu was caught firmly by Yu Shu.
Yu Shu's pupils were stunned with shock as he looked at the princess whose body was stiff and her face was filled with shame and anger.
Chen Rang lowered his eyes to look at Zheng Shuangyu, seeing through her but not saying anything: "Rong Yue? If you feel unwell, please ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
Zheng Shuangyu was helped up by Yushu. She was rather thin-skinned, biting her lips, her eyes shining as she looked at Chen Rang with some grievance.
But Shen Rang didn't fall for it. He lowered his eyes and smiled distantly at the corner of his lips.
How could Zheng Shuangyu be willing to accept this? She grabbed Shen Rang's hand unexpectedly, crying and frowning, saying, "Jingzhi..." Suddenly, Shen Rang began to feel extremely uncomfortable all over, with disgust in his eyes.
There was almost no one around, so Shen Rang didn't need to bother with his appearance. He breathed rapidly and frowned.
"Princess Rongyue, please respect yourself!" Chen Rang immediately shook off Zheng Shuangyu's hand and walked towards the tent with heavier steps.
Back to the tent, he rinsed his hands with tea from the teapot without hesitation.
It took him a long time to calm down.
Yu Shu entered the tent and saw that the blanket was wet. Fang asked, "Master? Are you feeling better?"
Shen Rang nodded slightly.
Yu Shu was a little confused. He had seen that kind of contact between the young master and the princess too many times, and neither of them had "fallen ill" again.
I thought that the young master's heart disease had been cured.
I never thought I would feel so uncomfortable today.
Yu Shu asked bluntly, "Sir, why aren't you uncomfortable when you meet the Princess?"
Chen Rang raised his eyes, the corners of his eyes were scarlet with a cold murderous intent.
Seeing that something was wrong, Ling Feng sent Yu Shu away.
Inside the tent, Shen Rang sat alone, depressed and uncontrollably thinking about the night his mother passed away many years ago.
No one rescued her, and she wailed in pain until her moans gradually became weaker.
Shen Rang couldn't sit still. He couldn't hire a midwife, and no doctor was willing to enter the delivery room to deliver the baby for the lady of a big family.
He had no choice but to enter the delivery room regardless of religious etiquette and clan conventions.
But it was too late. His mother was already dying and his hands were stained with her blood.
He was only thirteen years old, but he had to watch his mother pass away in his arms.
From then on, this became a source of worry for Shen Rang.
He could no longer touch a woman; once he did, he would tremble uncontrollably.
He hid this secret for many years. Others only said that Master Shen was aloof and not interested in women, but they didn't know that beneath Shen Rang's cold appearance, there was such a heartbreaking past.
But... there is one exception.
That’s Yuan Susu.
Ever since the eldest princess lost her memory, Shen Rang discovered that he didn't feel the kind of pain that made him tremble all over and have difficulty breathing towards her alone.
He will be addicted to Su Su, his heart will be moved, and he will find it hard to resist.
However, the eldest princess is too ambitious and too dangerous.
Did she really lose her memory or was she just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
Shen Rang was afraid that if he continued to indulge himself, he would have difficulty making decisions on important matters in the future.
Therefore, the eldest princess had to stay under his supervision and could not leave anywhere.
Suddenly, the wind blew open the tent curtain. It was already autumn, and the nights in the capital were no longer hot but frosty and dewy.
"Young Master." Ling Feng has always been more calm than Yu Shu, so many of the correspondence were handed over to him.
"A letter from the Princess."
Chen Rang's brows relaxed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows to suppress the secret joy that kept rising in his heart.
He lowered his eyes slightly, bent his sleeves and said nonchalantly, "Bring it here."
After Ling Feng presented the letter, Shen Rang unfolded it.
There was only one line of beautiful handwriting on it: The moonlight is beautiful tonight, it's perfect for a drink and a chat at night, see you in the pavilion at three quarters past midnight.
Chen Rang suddenly chuckled and was secretly happy. He actually took it so seriously that he asked someone else to write for him because he was afraid that the handwriting would not look good?
He arrived on time for the appointment, wearing a snow-white straight-collared robe, with dark cloud patterns floating gently in the moonlight with his steps.
The moon-white waist belt was embroidered with vigorous green bamboos, which made him look noble and elegant.
There was a coldness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, but there was an expectation that was difficult to conceal.
Chen Rang saw her sitting in the pavilion admiring the moon, her figure was hazy and she looked a little thin.
He curled his lips, holding a glass lotus lantern, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember this? If it weren't for this lantern that night, I wouldn't have entered your house..."
"Jingzhi?" A shy female voice came.
That voice wasn't as soft as Susu's.
Chen Rang's brows darkened, and his hands suddenly clenched the lamp.
How could it be, Zheng Shuangyu?
Su Su, who was lying on the eaves with Cuicui and eating melon seeds, simply adhered to the Chinese principle of loving to eat melons all his life.
"So, Your Highness's second trick is beautiful scenery, beautiful women and good wine!" Cuicui asked.
Su Su nodded and spat out the melon seed shells: "Bingo!"
Cuicui has become accustomed to the new words that often pop out of her mouth:
"Bin...dog? Your Highness, what kind of dog is this Bin dog?"
Yuan Susu made a "hush" sound to signal Cuicui to be quiet.
Zheng Shuangyu noticed that Chen Rang looked unhappy, and then she asked, "Jingzhi? What's wrong with you?"
Chen Rang's body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he was not at all approachable. He raised his eyes slightly, picked up the wine, drank it all, and said, "Did the princess invite you tonight?"
The smile on Zheng Shuangyu's lips faded slightly. She began to feel aggrieved for no reason, and her voice was a little tearful: "I had someone bring it to you while I was drinking tea in His Highness's tent."
"When did you become so familiar with her?" Shen Rang raised his eyebrows and stared at her.
Zheng Shuangyu twisted her clothes and lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness is kind, straightforward and lovely. Shuangyu likes being with Your Highness very much."
"Yeah, that's true." Shen Rang curled up the corners of his lips unconsciously and chuckled in agreement.
Zheng Shuangyu's slender fingers clenched her clothes. This was the first time in all the years she had known Chen Rang that she saw him truly smile.
She had many things she wanted to say but ultimately found it difficult to speak. Zheng Shuangyu picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Zheng Shuangyu's mind echoed His Highness's words that Shen Rang, a high-ranking flower who was praised too highly by everyone, could no longer be taken down by ordinary means.
Su Su said that if the two of them were alone under the moon and flowers, the atmosphere would be so heavy that even that big iceberg would remain indifferent.
Then...
The third move, the ultimate trick - hit the ball straight!
Zheng Shuangyu drank three cups of wine to give herself courage. Although she was the daughter of a military general, she had always been well protected by her father.
There is no difference between her and the other ladies from noble families who were raised in Beijing.
She licked her lips, the remaining fragrance of the osmanthus wine. Suddenly, Zheng Shuangyu looked at Chen Rang and said without hesitation: "Jingzhi, I am pleased with you."
Chen Rang was caught off guard by Zheng Shuangyu's move. Zheng Shuangyu has always been elegant and dignified.
In the past, when she was betrothed, she could only stammer and murmur with embarrassment, unable to speak.
Shen Rang said, "The marriage between you and me has long been annulled, and now things have changed..."
"Don't say anything yet," Zheng Shuangyu interrupted him, looking at him with bright eyes. "My father entrusted me to you back then, and perhaps I was a burden to you. I understand, too. You don't like me, right?"
She smiled with her lips curved, her eyes red. "I know that our marriage is off. Now that three years have passed, there's no chance of it happening anymore. I came back to Beijing this time just to let go of it willingly...at least...I tried to do it."
When Zheng Shuangyu saw Chen Rang drinking alone, his eyes were filled with mixed emotions. She hesitated for a long time, then frowned slightly and looked into his deep eyes. "So, you like the eldest princess? Is that right?"
Shen Rang raised his eyes to remove the look in his eyes and nodded gently.
He didn't want to hide anything from Zheng Shuangyu.
Cuicui saw Susu squinting her eyes and watching with great interest, so she asked, "Your Highness, what are they talking about?"
Yuan Susu analyzed their lip movements: "Rong Yue asked Shen Rang if he liked her, and Shen Rang... nodded!"
"It's still fun to watch other people fall in love!" Su Su patted Cuicui's shoulder happily...
Suddenly, Cuicui lost her balance and fell from the eaves into the pile of straw.
Shen Rang stood up suddenly. He thought it was an assassination, but he didn't want to see the furry head that he had no time to dodge.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Thanks to Baozi for the five bottles of nutrient solution, everyone’s welfare drama is here:
Shen Rang looked at the letter, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: Woman, you can't help but want to see me?
But I didn't expect that a certain bad woman would find ways to push me to someone else.
On the eaves, Susu cracked melon seeds and tried hard to read their lips.
Suddenly I feel that it is more interesting to watch others fall in love.
What's more, Shen Rang is too dangerous.
It's like a trapped beast that hasn't had enough to eat for half its life, and it has an uncontrollable desire for that thing.
It’s better to push him away quickly and get the story back to the main thread as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, Cuicui made too much noise and was discovered by Shen Rang.
Su Su closed her eyes and huddled under the corner of the eaves, trying hard not to be discovered by him.
Chen Rang looked from a distance and saw some pink pearls and jade on the hairy top of the head.
He curved his eyebrows and chuckled: So cute.
Like a kitten, very cute, I really want to pet it, I really want to possess it...
