When everyone returned to the front hall, Jiang said she was tired and wanted to leave the space to Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue. Shen Wangqiu was very reluctant and was dragged away by Jiang.
Lu Yun also made an excuse, saying that she still wanted some of the spices that Shen Liyue had prepared last time, so Shen Liyue asked Lian Dong and Yu Zhou to take her to get them.
Only Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue were left in the front hall.
From the moment Lu Xingzhou saw Shen Liyue, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
I'm nothing but happy.
The same goes for Shen Liyue. She didn't realize it before, but now she knows that she was also happy when she saw Lu Xingzhou.
Very happy.
Chen Liyue blushed and asked, "Have you discussed everything with my father?"
Lu Xingzhou said: "It's agreed. Lord Shen and Madam Shen both agreed."
Chen Liyue said: "Then why do I see that my father is not very happy?"
Lu Xingzhou looked confident and said, "It's normal. It's hard to be happy when the daughter you raised is being married off."
Lu Xingzhou paused and added, "If our daughter gets married in the future, I'm afraid she'll do the same as Lord Shen."
Shen Liyue's face flushed again and again. She only thought of this after hearing Lu Xingzhou's previous words. Since she went home and told her parents about this matter last night, she felt that her father was not very happy. She thought her father was dissatisfied with Lu Xingzhou, but she didn't expect that it was because her father couldn't bear to leave her.
But after hearing Lu Xingzhou's second words, Shen Liyue blushed again.
"You have no shame." Shen Liyue said.

Unlike Chen Liyue's side where the whole mansion was in high spirits, Chen Lijiao had a fierce quarrel with He Zhen.
The news of Shen Liyue's marriage soon spread throughout Wangjing City, and even the He family knew about it.
Zhen, who was originally very happy because Shen Liyue was pregnant, felt really uncomfortable when she heard the news.
According to the original plan, Chen Liyue should have been a member of the He family, but who knew that in the end he would marry Chen Lijiao.
How could Chen Lijiao compare to Chen Liyue? She had no dowry, no rules, and even Zhen Shi felt that seeing Chen Lijiao's face was extremely disgusting.
Zhen had even felt a little gloating in her heart before. She also wanted to see how well she could marry if Shen Liyue looked down on the He family.
I didn't expect that Shen Liyue would be married to Prince Yi by the emperor, and that she would marry him so well.
As a result, Zhen's mood has been bad these days, and she is always looking down on Chen Lijiao.
How could Chen Lijiao bear this humiliation? She was wronged to marry into the He family. She wanted to use Mr. Zhou's help to leave the He family, but Mr. Zhou avoided her since he knew she was pregnant. She didn't dare to ask anyone to find Mr. Zhou, for fear that he would come with the receipt to ask her for money.
This life was so frustrating. Originally, Zhen had been welcoming her with a smile because she was pregnant, but now after learning that Shen Liyue had been granted marriage, she dared to turn her face away. Shen Lijiao was so angry that she had no place to vent.
He Zhen happened to come, and this was the first time He Zhen stepped into Shen Lijiao's room since he knew that Shen Lijiao was pregnant.
As soon as He Zhen entered the door, Shen Lijiao looked at him with squinted eyes: "You still know how to enter my door?"
He Zhen was feeling uncomfortable, and upon hearing this, he said, "This is the He family's house. I can enter when I want to, and I can stay out of it when I don't want to. Do I have to look at your face to decide?"
Chen Li picked up a cup and threw it at He Zhen. He Zhen dodged and the cup fell right at his feet.
He Zhen angrily said, "Who are you angry at? If it weren't for the fact that you're pregnant with my child, I would have beaten you."
Shen Lijiao was even more furious when she heard this, and simply thrust her face in front of He Zhen, "Go ahead and beat me, beat me!"
"It's unreasonable!" He Zhen said, but he didn't dare to really hit Chen Lijiao. After all, Chen Lijiao was pregnant. If something happened to her, it would be difficult to explain to her mother and grandmother.
He Zhen walked to the table angrily and sat down, but Shen Lijiao had already covered her face and started crying.
"Who are you crying for? Do you think you are Shen Liyue?"
Shen Lijiao raised her head, her face full of tear marks. Hearing the three words Shen Liyue, Shen Lijiao was even more jealous.
"What does it have to do with her?" Shen Lijiao asked.
He Zhen said: "Don't think I don't know that you always compare yourself to Chen Liyue. Now that Chen Liyue has received the marriage granted by the emperor, you feel uncomfortable, right?"
He Zhen continued, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yi personally went to the palace to ask for this marriage, and even visited the Shen family in person. The news has spread everywhere. The gift Prince Yi brought to the Shen family that day was comparable to the betrothal gift. Are you jealous?"
Chen Li said bitterly, "You also know that Prince Yi did all this, but what about you? Why didn't you go to the Shen family to ask for my hand in marriage that day? Your He family married me without even a betrothal gift. Isn't it you who caused all this?"
He Zhen glanced at Chen Lijiao with disdain. "If we marry Chen Liyue, the He family will naturally have a betrothal gift, but you, are you worthy? You still have the nerve to use the word 'ask for marriage'. Why should I bother to ask for marriage? Didn't your mother come to my house and beg me to marry you? Otherwise, do you think I would agree?"
After He Zhen finished speaking, he felt much better. He had been feeling uncomfortable since he heard the news that Chen Lijiao was given the marriage to Prince Yi, so he wanted to find Chen Lijiao's unhappiness and transfer his unhappiness to Chen Lijiao. He Zhen now felt very happy.
After hearing what He Zhen said, Shen Lijiao threw herself on He Zhen and started fighting, not caring that she was pregnant.
Shen Lijiao suddenly rushed over, and He Zhen was not prepared. There were several bloody marks on his face caused by Shen Lijiao's nails.
He Zhen felt pain and didn't care about anything else, so he pushed Shen Lijiao away.
After all, Chen Lijiao was a woman, so she was no match for He Zhen and was pushed to the ground by He Zhen.
Shen Lijiao covered her stomach and cried out "ouch, ouch".
He Zhen thought she was pretending. He had clearly not used all his strength just now. He just pushed her away gently to protect himself. But seeing that Chen Lijiao had been sitting on the ground and couldn't get up, He Zhen panicked and hurried over to support Chen Lijiao.
Chen Lijiao covered her stomach and said repeatedly: "It hurts...it hurts so much..."
He Zhen was completely panicked, because he saw that Shen Lijiao's face was in pain, and it didn't seem like she was pretending, because a layer of sweat the size of beans had already appeared on Shen Lijiao's forehead.
Looking down again, he saw a pool of blood slowly overflowing from under Shen Lijiao's body.
"Someone come, come quickly!" He Zhen shouted.
The servants rushed over quickly after hearing the noise, and were stunned when they saw the scene. The room was already filled with a strong smell of blood.
Zhen also came quickly. Seeing the pool of blood under Chen Lijiao, she knew something was wrong. Seeing that everyone was stunned, she quickly said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and lift the young lady to the bed, and then go get a doctor!"
Everyone reacted at this moment, and hurriedly lifted Shen Lijiao onto the bed. Shen Lijiao was already sweating profusely from the pain.
