His tone was firm and powerful, full of vigor. After hearing it, Shen Pingjin's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore.
In her past life, after marrying Su Xuanmao, she endured everything in silence, all to save face for the royal family. But now, Yan Jue was telling her personally that she should not hold back and should vent her anger.
This feeling of having someone backing you up and protecting you was something Shen Pingjin had only experienced before her marriage.
Father...
Shen Pingjin suddenly remembered that when she got married, she was so busy with scheming and plotting that she had completely forgotten to tell her father and brother about her situation.
Master Shen was an honest and simple man who didn't understand the schemes of women. Her own brother, Shen Ling, was a simpleton obsessed with martial arts. He couldn't make it back from the military camp on the day of her wedding. Shen Pingjin said from the bottom of her heart that she didn't blame them.
Shen Pingjin looked up at Yan Jue. She didn't know how or when Yan Jue had fallen in love with her in her past life, but she thought that in this life, she would never betray this deep affection.
She nodded in agreement, "Alright, Yan Jue, if I am ever mistreated, I will be arrogant and domineering, and I will not suffer any injustice or embarrass you."
Yan Jue was very satisfied. "This is the kind of queen I deserve."
Shen Pingjin suddenly remembered that after a woman gets married in Dongyue Kingdom, there is a custom of returning to her parents' home. "Yan Jue, we'll be returning in a few days. Come with me."
Yan Jue was completely confused. "You mean the homecoming?"
Chen Pingjin nodded.
Seeing Yan Jue's stunned expression, Shen Pingjin asked with some doubt, "You haven't completely forgotten about this, have you?"
Yan Jue touched his sleeves somewhat guiltily. Could he say that he hadn't forgotten?
He... was somewhat afraid of Shen Pingjin's burly older brother.
Yan Jue denied it, "This is a tradition of Dongyue Kingdom, how could I forget it? It's just that this is my first time getting married, and I've never returned to my parents' home before. I don't know what gifts to bring to Lord Shen's house."
Chen Pingjin rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "This is your first time returning to your parents' home, but mine isn't? As for the gifts... you're coming out with me now, so you can give me some suggestions while you're at it."
Yan Jue frowned. "What suggestion?"
Shen Pingjin made a gesture, "It's not time yet, this is a secret!"
Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, the sky was clear and the air was crisp. Large swaths of white clouds hung in the pale blue sky like waves, layer upon layer like cloud mountains. A slightly warm breeze caressed their faces. Chen Pingjin lifted the light veil, her red lips slightly parted.
"Have we arrived at Caoshi?"
Ye Ting's voice came from the front, "Reporting to Your Highness, we have arrived."
Before Shen Pingjin could respond, the man beside her put his arm around her waist, and before she knew what was happening, she was on the ground.
Yan Jue noticed that Shen Pingjin wasn't leaving and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving?"
He was so kind that he carried his princess directly off the carriage.
Seeing the smug look on the man's face, Shen Pingjin rolled her eyes. "I'm not without legs, why are you carrying me down? Don't take this too seriously."
Yan Jue frowned upon hearing this, and his voice turned colder. "I wonder who was just borrowing money from me? The debt wasn't even signed or sealed. Has the Princess revealed her true colors?"
Shen Pingjin was taken aback, but her face instantly lit up with a bright smile. "Husband, I was just joking. Please don't take it seriously."
How should a lackey act when he is in the online world of "Sinking, Scheming, Changing Faces, Screen Brocade, and the Regent's Wife"?
Yan Jue nodded in satisfaction. "I know you're joking. Let's go, my queen."
Shen Pingjin obediently walked to Yan Jue's side. Ye Ting, who had been listening to their conversation from the front of the carriage, could hardly contain his excitement. Help! A princess who pretends to be weak while actually being strong is facing a regent who is two-faced. My god, what kind of amazing couple is this? They are so easy to ship!
In an instant, Ye Ting couldn't help but think of Nian An and Nian Ning. If those two little maids were here right now, they might be able to ship them together.
Just thinking about it is exciting!
The two women, strolling casually down the street, were completely unaware that their subordinates were secretly shipping them and were currently pondering what to buy.
Suddenly remembering something, Yan Jue took Chen Pingjin's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Both women were exceptionally beautiful and had remarkable bearing, which caused them to be frequently turned around and stared at as they walked through the bustling market.
Shen Pingjin was beautiful and had a wonderful fragrance when she walked. Just as Yan Jue was about to take Shen Pingjin to the most famous clothing store and silk shop in the capital, he suddenly heard a series of unpleasant curses coming from not far away.
Shen Pingjin frowned. She looked up at the source of the sound and found that something seemed to have happened not far away.
Yan Jue noticed it too, and he looked down at Chen Pingjin, "Should we go take a look?"
Shen Pingjin nodded. "There's no rush to buy gifts. We can go ahead and see what's going on."
The further they went, the more tightly packed the crowd became. Shen Pingjin was too short to see what was happening ahead, but Yan Jue could see it, and his gaze grew increasingly dark.
Shen Pingjin also noticed, and she asked with some confusion, "What exactly happened up ahead?"
Yan Jue said in a deep voice, "It seems someone is kidnapping him."
Shen Pingjin wasn't unaware of what "human abduction" meant, and her voice also turned somber, "Please push me forward a little further so I can see."
"good."
Yan Jue was quite tall, and coupled with his luxurious clothes and the innate aura surrounding him, those who were being squeezed initially wanted to curse, but upon seeing Yan Jue's appearance, they all shut their mouths.
When Shen Pingjin saw the kidnapper in front of Yan Jue, her gaze remained calm. However, when she saw the little child that the kidnapper had his eye on, she finally couldn't help but clench her sleeves tightly.
She remembered...
That disheveled, crying loudly, and refusing to go with the kidnapper was Lu Qingjia, the eldest grandson of the powerful Zhenguo General's Mansion, who had been missing for over a decade.
In her previous life, Shen Pingjin had once accompanied Master Shen to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. When she saw Lu Qingjia, she thought the child was cute and clever, so she was quite impressed. However, after a while, Lu Qingjia went missing.
This was the precious grandson of the General of the State, so the people in the mansion naturally did everything they could to find him. But for some reason, no matter how they searched, they couldn't find any trace of him. And so, Lu Qingjia was missing for more than ten years.
However, more than ten years later, Lu Qingjia unexpectedly returned. However, he was completely different from his childhood self, and even became estranged from the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Later, what was even more unexpected was that he colluded with the Northern Barbarians and became a traitor despised by everyone. Later, he was arrested and died tragically on the execution ground.
Lu Qingjia is currently in the market, so why haven't the people from the Zhenguo General's Mansion noticed her?
If she had rescued Lu Qingjia with Yan Jue at that moment, wouldn't so many things have been avoided for Lu Qingjia later?
