Chapter 41: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 13
Ever since she was forced to kneel by Ning Changting last time, Shen Chi Su hated him even more.
She deserved to be childless; that was why she didn't want to give birth to a child for Ning Changting.
Such a noble and abominable person should be lonely and miserable for the rest of his life.
Seeing that she was self-righteous and had misunderstood, and looked impatient, Cha Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lady Ning looked at Shen Chi Su with a strange look in her eyes: "I didn't force you. This dress was not made for you, but for Yan Shu."
Shen Chi Su was stunned: "To Yan Shu"
"Yes, we will hold the wedding when the Marquis returns in a few days." Lady Ning sighed, "I didn't expect that preparing wedding clothes for my adopted daughter would be such a tiring task."
After Shen Chi Su heard the whole story, her expression looked as if she had eaten a fly.
Unexpectedly, her careful operation actually brought Ning Changting and Cha Jiu together by accident!
Shen Chi Su is so angry that she is going to die!
Especially when she looked at the table full of goodies, some of which Lady Ninghou had never been willing to give her no matter how much she had begged coquettishly in the past.
Now, all of them were easily given to Cha Jiu as dowry.
Shen Chi Su felt very unhappy.
"Mother, I'm not feeling well. I'll go back to Tingyuxuan to rest first." Shen Chi Su didn't want to stay any longer.
Cha Jiu also stood up: "Mother, I will go back with my sister."
Lady Ninghou lowered her head and fiddled with it, not even raising her eyelids: "Go back, go back, I still have to sort these things out."
After leaving Yunruixuan, Shen Chisu's expression could no longer be suppressed.
She sneered and said, "Shen Yanshu, are you very proud now?"
Cha Jiu was browsing the system's item mall to choose fertility potion, but unexpectedly Shen Chi Su said this out of the blue.
"Why should I be so proud?" Cha Jiu found it a little funny.
Shen Chi Su said coldly: "Now the head of the Marquis' Mansion holds you in the palm of their hands. The things that my mother was reluctant to give me before, she now gives you without hesitation. You have taken away all the things that belong to me, aren't you proud?"
Cha Jiu looked at Shen Chi Su's eyes that were red with jealousy and shook her head helplessly: "Sister, the things in this mansion have never belonged to you and me."
"What?"
Cha Jiu looked at her steadily: "Do you remember the days before we came to the Marquis' Mansion? The Shen family was killed by bandits, and all the family property was looted. The two of us were living in a refugee camp on the outskirts of the city. We were not allowed to enter the city, and we had no food to eat and no clothes to wear."
"It was the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion and the wife of the Marquis Ning who passed by on their way to burn incense. They saw how pitiful we were and took pity on us, so they brought us back to the Marquis' Mansion and gave us the status of young ladies. Our food, clothing, housing and transportation were no different from those of the Marquis's biological daughters."
Shen Chi Su looked at her contemptuously: "What do you want to say?"
Cha Jiu's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate Shen Chi Su's heart: "What I want to say is that the Marquis' Mansion has been very kind to us. We can only take what the Marquis' Mansion is willing to give us. But if you want to use the Marquis' Mansion, or even trample on the Marquis' Mansion, just to pursue your own interests, you will be punished by thunder and lightning."
Shen Chi Su's heart skipped a beat and a flash of panic crossed her face.
Why did Cha Jiu say this? Did she know something?
Impossible, she did it very secretly and shouldn't be discovered.
Shen Chi Su quickly calmed down and became angry: "Shen Yanshu, you don't have to scold me here. It is indeed glorious for you to marry Ning Changting, but he is destined to be childless. I wonder how long you can enjoy this glory!"
Having said that, she turned around and walked away in a hurry.
Cha Jiu sighed. That was all he had to say. It looked like Shen Chi Su would not wake up.
The system said, "It's useless. No matter how many times you remind her, it won't change her greed and her desire to use the Marquis' Mansion to help Xiao Wen Gepu gain a better career."
After taking up the post at the Imperial Medical Hospital, Shen Chi Su seemed like a different person.
She began to hang out with Xiao Wen Ge frequently, giving free rein to the wild nature in her heart that refused to be bound.
The freshness, excitement, and freedom that Xiao Wen Ge brought her made her temporarily forget the setbacks in her work at the Imperial Hospital, the gradually cold attitude of Ning Hou's wife, and the boring and stagnant life in the Hou Mansion.
But she knew very well that the Marquis's Mansion would not agree to her being with Xiao Wen Ge.
So Shen Chi Su made up his mind to help Xiao Wen Ge embark on a path of official advancement.
She wanted Xiao Wen Ge, but she also wanted the identity of a young lady from a marquis's mansion.
This is the only way.
However, Cha Jiu still didn't know what Shen Chi Su was going to do specifically.
The system cannot yet predict the direction of events that have not yet occurred.
…
The border battle was a great victory, the Huns were severely damaged and were defeated step by step. There should be no more wars on the border for a long time, and the people can focus on farming and trade.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor summoned Marquis Jingyuan back to the capital to report on his duties.
The first time Cha Jiu saw Marquis Jingyuan, he had only one thought in his mind.
Walking beard.
Marquis Jingyuan was tall and mighty, wearing heavy armor, and his face from chin to temples, and from philtrum to cheeks, was covered with dense beard.
His skin is dark, his eyes are fiery, and his voice is like thunder.
When he heard that Ning Changting was about to get married, his hearty laughter almost blew the roof off.
"Hahaha, my son finally has someone he wants to start a family with! Great!"
In conclusion, he ordered his men to take out fifty profitable shops in Shengjing City, twenty tracts of fertile land in the suburbs, and one hundred thousand taels of gold from the marquis's family as Cha Jiu's dowry.
Such generosity made Cha Jiu stunned.
No wonder the system only has one sentence to introduce Jingyuan Hou -
He loves killing enemies and beautiful concubines, but he loves Ning Changting even more.
Ning Changting is his first child. He is outstanding in appearance, talent and career. He has always been far ahead of his peers since he was a child and has always been a glory for Marquis Jingyuan.
Now that he has a wife, he naturally loves her and is generous with his money.
"Thank you, Lord. However, my mother has already prepared the dowry for me..." Cha Jiu wanted to be polite, but he waved her off.
"Hey, what your mother prepared was her gift, and what I give you is my gift." said Marquis Jingyuan.
Lady Ning also held Cha Jiu's hand and said, "You can keep it. How can the dowry of a young lady from our mansion be worse than that of other noble ladies?"
Cha Jiu looked towards Ning Changting.
Ning Changting nodded to her, indicating that it was okay.
The old lady also took out a box
When Cha Jiu opened it, a pair of flawless jade bracelets with green glowing light lay inside.
Lady Ninghou exclaimed in surprise.
"This pair of bracelets is a century-old heirloom of the Marquis's Mansion. Even when I got married to the Marquis, he was reluctant to give them to me."
The old lady smiled and sighed, "These bracelets are only passed down to grandchildren's wives, not to sons' wives. Yanshu, I'm giving them to you now, and I also want to give a good omen."
The old lady had a hint of meaning. After all, she also hoped that Cha Jiu could give birth to a child.
The elders give me gifts, and I dare not refuse.
Cha Jiu took it generously and gave the old lady a determined smile: "Grandma, Yan Shu will definitely be as you wish."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then her eyes became moist: "Good boy, it's good to have this kind of heart."
Shen Chi Su sat silently at the very end, out of tune with the happy atmosphere in front of her.
She is now in the Marquis' Mansion, like a transparent person.
All the people's affection and attention were on Cha Jiu, making Shen Chi Su's heart feel like it was being gnawed by ants every moment.
She was even more determined to support Xiao Wen Ge to ascend to the throne and marry out of this cold and snobbish marquisate.
As they were chatting, Marquis Jingyuan suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, when I was returning to Shengjing from the outskirts of the city, I encountered bandits on the road. Fortunately, a little brother risked his life to save me, so I was able to escape unscathed."
Hearing that it was bandits again, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was frightened again and asked if Marquis Jingyuan was injured.
Marquis Jingyuan: "I was wearing armor, so the bandits' ordinary knives couldn't hurt me much. But that little brother almost lost half his life."
The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Then our mansion must really repay them well.
Marquis Jingyuan: "That's what I was thinking. This little brother named Xiao is very skilled in martial arts, brave and righteous, but unfortunately he is just a small yamen runner in Shengjing. I plan to recommend him to the Patrol Defense Department."
When Shen Chi Su heard about the Patrol Department, she was delighted.
This is a place where promotion is easier than eating!
