Chapter 46: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 18
Marquis Jingyuan scolded: "Why don't you drag her out!"
Several strong servants came up, pulled Shen Chi Su off the legs of Ning Hou's wife, and threw her out of the mansion.
Shen Chi Su still refused to give up. She knelt in front of the Marquis's mansion and cried bitterly, admitting her mistakes one after another, which attracted the sympathy of many onlookers.
Nanny Wen looked at her coldly and said loudly, "You have had an affair with a man outside your family and colluded with bandits to murder the Marquis. You are such a shameless person and have nothing to do with our Marquis Jingyuan Mansion from now on. Shen Chisu, get out."
The people around heard the whole story, looked at Shen Chi Su's disheveled clothes and the ambiguous red marks on her neck, and cast disgusted glances at her.
Shen Chi Su was determined to make it through. She gritted her teeth and knelt at the door: "If my mother refuses to forgive me, I will kneel here until I die!"
She was betting on Lady Ning's final softness!
Nanny Wen was too lazy to pay attention to her and just asked someone to close the door.
Shen Chi Su knelt like this for three days and three nights.
Even when Ning Changting finished his three-day wedding leave and went to court, she was still kneeling there without moving.
Cha Jiu had already tied her hair into a bun and was wearing an elegant and luxurious dress with a Fuyun pattern.
Today is also the day they go to the palace to express their gratitude to the Empress.
When Ning Changting passed by Shen Chisu, he did not even look at him.
It was Cha Jiu who stopped.
Shen Chi Su grabbed her skirt, lost her previous pride, and begged, "Sister, please let mother see me."
Cha Jiu squatted down to look her in the eye and said frankly, "Sister, it's not that I didn't warn you, but you didn't listen. Mother doesn't want to see you anymore, so go away."
Instigating Ning Changwen to insult her has already severed the last bit of sympathy Cha Jiu had for Shen Chi Su.
Shen Chi Su stared in a daze as the luxurious carriage moved further and further away.
She was in there once.
But now it is impossible.
Shen Chi Su burst into tears.
At this time, Xiao Wen Ge, who had just been released from prison, had wounds all over his body that had not yet scabbed over, but he gritted his teeth and rushed to find Shen Chi Su.
"Why are you here?" Shen Chi Su was surprised and burst into tears.
Xiao Wen Ge smiled bitterly: "My mother sold Lanxianglou and used all her savings to redeem me."
Shen Chisu remained silent.
Xiao Wen Ge didn't know that Shen Chi Su had wanted to put all the blame on him. Now seeing her pitiful appearance, he felt pity for her: "Chi Su, come home with me. I will take good care of you."
Shen Chi Su looked at the tightly closed gate of the Marquis' Mansion and finally sat down on the ground in despair.
She was completely abandoned by the Marquis's Mansion.
Xiao Wen Ge brought her to a remote alley on the outskirts of the city, which was surrounded by dilapidated low houses. There were also many ragged beggars on the roadside picking up dry grass from the ground and stuffing it into their mouths.
Shen Chi Su shrank towards Xiao Wen Ge in fear.
The two walked to the house at the end of the alley, pushed open the wooden door that smelled of damp and rot, and inside was a desolate little courtyard surrounded by simple small rooms.
Xiao Wenge: "This is our new home."
Although this place is much better than those shabby houses outside, Shen Chi Su still feels very uncomfortable and frowns: "Why do we have to live here? Don't you have any money at all?"
Xiao Wen Ge was speechless for a moment and looked embarrassed.
"I have lost my position at the Dali Temple, and the money I have now is barely enough to rent this place and eat. But don't worry, I have found a noble person to help me, and I will be able to rise to prominence soon."
He remembered what Chen Qu had said to him and decided to join that camp.
Shen Chi Su frowned and covered her nose, looking around with disgust: "Then hurry up, I'm not used to living in this kind of place."
Xiao Wen Ge saw that her clothes were dirty and smelly, so he went out and bought her a new set of clothes.
Who knew that Shen Chi Su only took a look and then threw the clothes on the ground.
"I can't wear clothes made of this kind of coarse cotton cloth." Shen Chi Su frowned.
Xiao Wen Ge suppressed his temper and picked up his clothes: "I know you usually wear soft silk and satin, but now it's different, can't you just make do with it?"
Shen Chi Su couldn't help but feel wronged: "I can't bear it. I will get a rash on my body if I wear this kind of clothes."
Before the Shen family was wiped out, they were already a wealthy family.
Later, when she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she never suffered any hardship at all.
Everything she eats, wears and uses is of the finest quality, and her body is kept in extremely delicate condition.
Such a coarse cotton coat was really uncomfortable for her to wear.
Xiao Wen Ge sighed and could only let her continue to wear the clothes she hadn't changed for three days while he thought of another solution.
But when it was time to eat, Shen Chi Su began to look embarrassed again.
There were only two bowls on the table, some of which were broken. One contained three steamed buns, and the other contained some dried and salted vegetables.
Shen Chi Su tried to stuff the dry and hard steamed bun into her mouth and chew it, but it was still difficult to swallow.
Her throat was scratched and hurt by the dry steamed bun.
Xiao Wen Ge had no choice but to tear the steamed bun into small pieces, soak it in water and feed it to her.
But in this way, the steamed bun becomes like pig food, disgusting and unpalatable.
Shen Chi Su took a bite, then turned around and vomited.
Xiao Wen Ge finally couldn't help but frown.
"You eat first. I'll get the medicine for mother." Xiao Wen Ge picked up a bowl of millet porridge and a bowl of soup with a cold face and walked towards the room next to him where coughing sounds were coming from.
Shen Chi Su was hungry and tired, and finally she couldn't help but squatted beside the table and cried.
…
The white horse passes by, and the Double Ninth Festival is approaching.
Cha Jiu was sitting at a small stone table in the courtyard, concentrating on brewing chrysanthemum wine with Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan, when suddenly a clear and mellow voice came to his ears: "What are you doing?"
Cha Jiu was so scared that he bumped into the wine pot.
Ning Changting caught it quickly, but some of it still splashed out and wet Cha Jiu's clothes.
"Oh my." Cha Jiu cried softly, with a look of reproach: "It's all your fault. You spilled my good chrysanthemum wine and soiled my clothes."
Ning Changting smiled and said, "Then I will accompany my wife to change clothes and make another bottle of wine."
Having said that, he picked up Cha Jiu by the waist and walked towards the room amid her screams.
The servants of Qingfeng Garden laughed secretly, quickly packed up their things and left.
After entering the room, Cha Jiu seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly stopped Ning Changting: "Put me down first, I'll go in and clean up."
Ning Changting looked at her with amusement: "What are you packing?"
Cha Jiu hesitated, "It's just some clothes and jewelry, don't worry about it, I'll pack them first and then you can come in."
Ning Changting exposed her: "Do you want to clean up those storybooks on the bedside?"
Cha Jiu's eyes widened: "You know it"
It was over, it was over. Her image as a well-educated, gentle and well-behaved lady from a noble family was about to collapse.
In fact, Ning Changting had long known that his little wife was not a gentle and obedient lady.
In front of others, Cha Jiu would present herself as a dignified and serious young lady of a marquis's mansion.
But in private, he had also seen her several times lying on the bed with a storybook in her hands, laughing out loud in an ungraceful manner.
She would also chat about gossip with the servants while cracking melon seeds, and would roll her eyes when no one was around.
Cha Jiu was a little uneasy.
Ning Changting put her down and looked at her tenderly: "Yanshu, there are many rules in the Marquis' Mansion, but at least in front of me, in Qingfeng Garden, I hope you can be yourself."
Cha Jiu quickly raised his eyes to look at him and asked tentatively: "Don't you think I'm unstable?"
At first she thought that a young man from a noble family like Ning Changting must be a person who likes to abide by the rules.
Ning Changting smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of person you are. The most important thing is that you are my wife."
Cha Jiu blushed and her heart beat faster.
Seeing that Ning Changting was about to kiss her, she quickly reached out and pressed her hand against his lips: "No."
Ning Changting was puzzled: "No"
Cha Jiu pursed her lips, but still couldn't hold back her smile: "Well, we can't have sex now, because I think I'm pregnant."
Ning Changting was completely dumbfounded.
It was the first time that Cha Jiu saw such an expression on Ning Changting's face.
Stunned, unbelievable.
But soon, Cha Jiu saw the same expression on the faces of every person in the Marquis' Mansion.
