Chapter 35 Chapter 35 She is so good, I can’t keep her…
After Shen Rang caught Su Su and kissed her for a long time...
[Ding Dong, Favorability +5]
Shen Rang looked at Su Su with a tender look in his eyes: "How did Your Highness know about my mother?"
"If I want to know, can you hide it from me?"
Too.
Shen Rang fell silent, lost in crazy thoughts.
His eyes were dim. Ever since his mother passed away, he had to learn to stand on his own feet.
No matter how hard, tiring or painful it was, he was unwilling to say it out loud.
Shen Rang held the title of the eldest son of an aristocratic family in the court, and when he entered the Censorate, people thought he was just a playboy who came here to make a living.
Unexpectedly, he worked harder than others just to gain a foothold in the court on his own.
He has a dull personality and hides his emotions deep in his heart so as to prevent others from seeing his bottom line.
The purpose of using ruthless means is to prevent others from having the opportunity to hurt you.
Until today, Yuan Susu stood up for him.
He suddenly felt as if he had gained confidence.
although……
But I can't seem to keep her.
Chen Rang's eyes turned red, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have deviated from his original intention of marrying her.
The conspiracy between the eldest princess and Prince Yuanchan of Anyang is certainly enough to shake the entire country.
Now, Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed innocent and naive, but no one dares to let her go.
If one pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, and catches the court off guard, the situation will be irreversible.
Chen Rang closed his eyes. He didn't dare to think about what he would do if one day Su Su and King Anyang really joined forces to rebel.
He didn't know and didn't dare to think about it.
So it’s better to let Susu stay by my side and let her be a good boy and not go anywhere.
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were gazing at Su Su's figure tenderly.
My throat felt a little tight, and once the desire broke through the cage, it was difficult to retract it.
After arriving at the palace, Susu took the initiative to hold his hand. She felt a little distressed for Shen Rang.
Yesterday, she had someone inquire about Shen Rang's family relations, and only then did she learn that this powerful figure in the court actually had such a painful and repressed trauma.
When Yuan Susu stood up for him today, she did not care whether it would offend the aristocratic family.
She knew in her heart that the aristocratic family could not protect her, and the only one who could protect her from the future turmoil was Shen Rang.
When Su Su touched Chen Rang's hand, she suddenly let go because of the heat. She frowned and raised her hand to test the temperature of his forehead: "You don't have a fever, why are you so hot?"
He cleared his throat, took Su Su's hand again and said, "It's okay."
Today is Shen Rang's day off. When Yuan Che heard that Master Shen was coming, he was so scared that he quickly ordered someone to take away the newly received parrot.
If Yuan Che had not rebelled against his brothers, the throne would not have been his.
He could be an idle prince for the rest of his life, although his playfulness and wildness have been worn away now.
After being influenced and trained in a high position over the years, his temperament has become much calmer.
After entering the hall, Yuan Che didn't expect that his sister came with the teacher.
He shifted his gaze downwards and saw that the two were actually... actually holding hands!
It turns out that Shen Rang not only wants to be my teacher, but also wants to be my brother-in-law!
"Your Majesty," Yuan Susu spoke first, "Master Shen and I have come here today to ask Your Majesty to grant us a marriage."
Yuan Che immediately disregarded his image and got down from the dragon throne, pulling Su Su behind him and saying, "Wait a minute!"
"Sister, didn't you hate Master Shen the most in the past? How come you want to marry him so much now?" Yuan Che was unhappy. He only had one sister, and he would give up the throne to her even if she wanted it.
Since ancient times, women have not been able to make decisions on marriages.
A man can have three wives and four concubines after marriage, but a woman can only stick to one man.
Yuan Che already had an elder sister who was forced to be sent away in marriage, and he didn't want his elder sister to have no say in her own marriage.
Yuan Susu felt warm in her heart. She lowered her eyes and looked at Yuan Che with a frown, saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Master Shen and I are getting married because we both need each other. There is no forced relationship."
When Yuan Che heard his sister say this, he put his hand down half-believingly.
"So, Your Majesty, how much do you dislike me being the eldest princess's consort?" Shen Rang raised his eyebrows, his narrow eyebrows and eyes carrying a sense of intimidation.
Yuan Che then scratched his head and smiled innocently.
Yuan Susu's evaluation of this adopted brother is that he has some ideas but not many.
After all, how could a person who was brought up by the smart-headed Shen Rang be a fool?
Seeing how determined the two were, His Majesty gave up and issued an imperial decree granting their marriage.
The next day, the news spread everywhere.
"The radiant Master Shen was forced by the notorious Princess to surrender to her by using her family as leverage."
"Oh! This eldest princess is so shameless!" said an auntie who was cracking melon seeds.
"Of course not! The princess even persuaded His Majesty to expel Master Shen from his ancestral home!"
The crowd cursed: "He has lost all conscience, corrupts the morals of the world, and has no good intentions!"
Yuan Susu was furious after hearing this. Did everyone stereotype me?!
So all the good things I did for the original owner and the merits I accumulated cannot change the world's definition of the eldest princess's identity?
Su Su suddenly felt overwhelmed.
These days, Shen Rang rarely comes to see her.
Firstly, the court is busy with affairs.
Secondly, they decided to get married at Buwang Mountain.
This was decided by Su Su. Although Shen Rang was nominally her consort, it would not be excessive for Su Su to take him into the mansion.
However, Shen Rang was used to being highly respected in the court, so naturally he was unwilling to bow his head.
Buwang Mountain is relatively remote and is located in the capital, so it can avoid unnecessary social interactions.
Shen Rang told Su Su that he had few good friends in the court.
His only good friend is Xie Heng, who is still fighting on the frontier and has no idea that his engagement has been broken off.
This wedding, everything is simple.
Xie Heng...
Yuan Susu was a little slow to react when she heard the name, and her eyes paused slightly.
Thank you Heng!
The male protagonist of the original book!
"System, come out quickly."
[System: Hello, host. I am here.]
"How's the progress of the male and female protagonists?"
[System: The male and female protagonists secretly fell in love. According to the original plot, the male protagonist returned triumphantly and broke off the engagement with the original owner, and only then did they finally become truly in love.]
"That would be great. By the time Xie Heng returns to Beijing, I'll already be married."
Now that Chen Rang's favorability is increasing too slowly, we should focus on both aspects.
When Xie Heng returns to Beijing, she will definitely match the hero and heroine.
It would be best if I were granted marriage upon returning to the capital, get married within a month, and have two children within three years.
Go straight to the finale.
Since neither of them opened their mouths, I'll do the talking.
In short, no one wants to play with their phone more than me at this moment! (Losing your phone is like losing everything)
…
On the eve of the wedding, news arrived from the Shen family.
It was Old Madam Shen who wanted to meet Susu.
She didn't have to go through the Shen family's main gate to deal with them, but could come in through the back door of the old lady's backyard.
Yuan Susu went as promised, and now her marriage to Shen Rang was a foregone conclusion.
The emperor personally granted the marriage and issued the decree, so even if the old lady brought the Shen family's imperial edict to the court to request the cancellation of the engagement, it would be of no use.
What's more, Shen Rang has already left the Runan Shen family.
These days, the people of Runan Shen family have had a hard time in the court.
It was because of Shen Rang that the important officials in the court showed special respect to the already mediocre Shen family. But now that Shen Rang is gone, the Shen family no longer has anyone who can be of great use.
Then he would no longer be the leader of the four most popular families.
Therefore, Shen Lai smashed bowls in his house every day to vent his anger.
He denounced his eldest son's mediocrity and his third son's extravagance.
Now he has realized clearly that the Runan Shen family has always relied on Shen Rang.
Su Su could clearly hear Shen Lai's scolding from across the courtyard.
She asked Zhusheng, who was leading the way for her, "What happened?"
Zhu Sheng's smile was distant and cold. "The Patriarch has been angry about the Second Young Master's affairs these days. Princess, don't be offended."
Yuan Susu nodded. She was also a woman, so how could she not see that Zhu Sheng was interested in Shen Rang?
However, Shen Rang is also a bit strange.
She heard that Shen Rang was once a well-known ascetic young master who was not interested in women.
I don't know why, but I don't know what I did to make this man, who had been abstinent for twenty-six years, break his vow.
I became a sensual and vulgar person whose mind was full of thoughts about those things.
Her thoughts returned to her mind, and Susu entered the room which was exceptionally warm, even hot.
Yuan Susu looked at the old man lying on the bed, whose complexion looked better than before. She was helped up by her maid and drank bitter medicine.
Old Madam Shen looked at Yuan Susu through several layers of gauze. She drank the medicine in one gulp and ordered everyone to leave.
The crackling sound of the charcoal fire broke the silence in the room.
Su Su felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't understand why the old lady called her alone.
"Mrs. Shen, I wonder what brings us together so late at night?"
Old Madam Shen leaned against the cushion, looking at the moonlight coming in through the window frame.
She raised her hand with a vicissitudes of life and beckoned towards Susu: "Your Highness, please come forward a few steps."
Yuan Susu entered the gauze curtain, and the bitter smell of medicine became stronger.
The old lady pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed. She said, "My whole life, from the moment I was born, I was raised in the deep mansion of an aristocratic family. Throughout my life, I was just moving from one deep mansion to another. Even for the next hundred years, I would still stay in the Shen family's ancestral hall."
"Jingzhi has had a very hard life. After his mother passed away, his personality changed drastically. He is the only legitimate son of the Shen family, and the position of head of the Runan Shen family will also belong to him in the future. But after a serious illness, I figured out a lot of things."
"Jingzhi never cared about the position of head of the family. He doesn't want to continue marrying into aristocratic families. I can't force it on him under the banner of doing good for him..." The old lady coughed violently.
She took a long time to calm down, and Susu handed her a cup of tea to moisten her throat.
"Actually... I envy your Highness," the old lady said, holding Susu's hand, her voice trembling. "Your Highness has been able to do whatever he wants in life, without having to marry someone he doesn't like. This alone is enough to make us women in the inner chambers envious for a lifetime..."
Yuan Susu felt very uncomfortable when she heard her words.
She has been here for nearly two months, and she has seen too many women who are only men's accessories or slaves in wealthy families.
And there are very few female businesswomen who can start their own business in this oppressive and suffocating era.
Old Madam Shen is already an excellent person. She comes from a noble family and is in charge of the entire household after getting married.
It seemed that apart from a not-so-happy marriage, she had no regrets.
Suddenly, Madam Shen slipped an emerald jadeite bracelet from her hand. She handed it to Susu and said, "This bracelet was left to me by my mother-in-law. Now that you are getting married, I can't attend the ceremony due to my health. I'm giving it to you sooner rather than later. Please also tell His Highness that Grandmother Jingzhi has accepted you as her granddaughter-in-law."
