Chapter 84: Ah Sheng has a few close friends who are not presentable
It was a happy scene here. Chu Yian and Qin Sheng were so immersed in writing the storybook that they had no time to care about what was happening in the outside world.
On the other side, the atmosphere in the Sheng family had become extremely depressing.
Cold sweat kept coming out of Sheng Hongyu's forehead. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the person sitting above him, nor did he dare to wipe it off.
His eyelids have been drooping since Chu Yian left today. Sheng Hongyu felt uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.
He wanted to do something to save them, but before he could think of a relatively perfect solution, the sky gradually darkened.
Then the fourth prince Qi Ze appeared in front of him somehow.
Qi Ze was playing with the cup in his hand nonchalantly. It was just an ordinary white porcelain cup, but he seemed to want to see a flower from the cup. He didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Sheng Hongyu couldn't bear the pressure anymore and spoke up, his voice trembling as he spoke: "Fourth, Fourth Prince, I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"
Qi Ze turned towards him when he heard that, the corners of his lips slightly raised, a cold arc appeared: "If there is nothing wrong, can't you come to see Master Sheng?"
Sheng Hongyu hurriedly shook his head, lowering it even lower, and said bitterly, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I welcome you very much, but it's getting late today..."
Qi Ze withdrew his gaze and fell on the cup in his hand again, interrupting him: "I heard that Lord Sheng has a concubine who is very much loved by Lord Sheng. Bring her to me to see."
"I want to see what kind of beauty can seduce Lord Sheng so much that even his own wife dislikes him like this."
Sheng Hongyu's heart sank to the bottom. He, he knew it was because of this...
He originally thought that the trouble would at least start at court tomorrow, but who knew that this man would break into his house in the middle of the night. Just because Gong Lu scolded Qin Sheng a few words, he would make such a big fuss?
Could it be that they didn’t hear that Chu Yian beat Gong Lu and locked her up in the woodshed?
Gong Lu has already been punished. Even if he needs to be punished, it should be a little later. Let him catch his breath.
Sheng Hongyu felt that his previous views on Qin Sheng and his group of adulterers were too conservative. Seeing the Fourth Prince's eagerness to vent Qin Sheng's anger, it was really hard to say that he and Qin Sheng only had a physical relationship.
But Qin Sheng didn't even look at him, couldn't he see it?
Still giving so much?
He wanted to curse in his heart, but Sheng Hongyu didn't dare to show it on his face: "Your Highness, it's not true. Moreover, I have already locked that bitch in the woodshed. It's up to Your Highness to decide what happens next."
Qi Ze put down the cup in his hand and looked towards Sheng Hongyu. After all, this was the person he had loved, and Sheng Hongyu gave up for him so easily.
As expected, most people in the world are just fame-seeking and heartless people, unlike him, who would do anything for Qin Sheng.
Even if Qin Sheng wanted to kill him, he would close his eyes and die without saying a word.
Qi Ze looked down upon Sheng Hongyu, a man who was irresponsible and promiscuous, and his eyes became increasingly cold when he looked at him.
"At my disposal? How can I do that to her? She's not my person, and she wasn't scolding me. If I do, people who don't know me would think I like to meddle in other people's affairs, even the concubines in the ministers' houses."
Sheng Hongyu: ...
Who would misunderstand the reason when they know it well?
Sheng Hongyu wanted to curse, but he didn't dare.
He could only suppress his inner anxiety and grit his teeth and said, "Gong Lu is guilty of treason and insulting the general. He deserves death. He should be beaten to death as a warning to others."
The smile on Qi Ze's face was a little more sincere, but he did not forget to distance himself, and at the same time did not forget to stab Sheng Hongyu again.
"You are sending your beloved concubine to such an end. Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings? After all, she is the woman you loved deeply. Lord Sheng is truly cruel."
Sheng Hongyu didn't dare to look up. "Yes, she was at fault first, and she deserves to be punished. Your humble servant, no matter how much you love her, you can't condone such bad behavior. Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of soldiers all over the world."
Qi Ze nodded, getting the answer he wanted, but had no intention of leaving.
Sheng Hongyu waited for a while but still didn't hear his voice. He really didn't want to play Tai Chi with him anymore, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Does the Fourth Prince have anything else to say?"
Qi Ze propped up his chin, and said with a hint of ambiguity, "Master Sheng, tell me, how did your concubine, who is not presentable enough, develop such a lawless character?"
"Insulting the general without any reason, tsk tsk tsk, even if the emperor was here, he wouldn't scold him like that for no reason, right? There must be a reason, right?"
Sheng Hongyu felt a chill on his back and reacted very quickly, immediately shifting the blame: "I think her family must have failed to educate her well, which is why she has developed such a spoiled personality."
"They deserve no pity for causing such trouble today."
Qi Ze curled the corners of his mouth, satisfied, and finally stood up, walking out leisurely.
Seeing the evil spirit leave, Sheng Hongyu's heart finally settled down a little.
Only then did he realize that his back was covered in cold sweat, which had soaked his clothes.
But before Sheng Hongyu could completely breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Ze, who had walked to the door, stopped again, his voice filled with helplessness.
But upon closer listening, the helplessness sounded more like a mockery.
"Master Sheng is fair and strict, which makes me very happy. I hope that when Master Sheng has free time, he will pay more attention to Madam Sheng instead of bringing all kinds of people into the mansion."
Sheng Hongyu just wanted to send the person away quickly, so why would he not respond? He quickly said, "Yes, Your Highness is right."
Qi Ze turned his head, and under the moonlight, his profile became even more handsome, but the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was particularly obvious.
"Master Sheng is a pillar of the country. I dare not have any opinions about Master Sheng, let alone tell him what to do."
"I hope that Lord Sheng will take care of his own backyard in the future, so that you and I can live in peace."
After saying this, Qi Ze strode away, leaving Sheng Hongyu standing there in a daze.
I originally had some feelings for Gong Lu, but after this incident, the little feelings I had left were completely gone.
If she hadn't been so outspoken, how could she have brought the Fourth Prince here?
The Fourth Prince is not just Qin Sheng's lover, he also holds great power and should not be offended easily.
But it was too early for Sheng Hongyu to relax. Who knew that Qi Ze could come back after he had already left?
Qi Ze was a little embarrassed: "Um, Lord Sheng, there is something I forgot to tell you."
Sheng Hongyu's heart trembled, and he had a hunch that this was not a good thing.
The next second, Qi Ze spoke softly. Although his voice was calm, Sheng Hongyu's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
"Master Sheng, we have served in the same court for so many years, so I will not cause you any trouble."
"That's right, you might have to explain things to Ah Sheng's close friends in person. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what they will do."
