The next day, everyone drove back to the city, but they didn't see Prince Yu's carriage in the courtyard. After asking, they found out that it had returned to the city overnight.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this a situation? Suddenly, their minds became active. Those who knew about this exchanged glances, eager to return to the city to inquire about the follow-up situation.
The Fang sisters also said goodbye to Xihe, not daring to look at Song Qianru, and all lowered their heads and got into the carriage.
"Sister Shen's fiancé is so good to her. He even came to the city early in the morning to pick her up." Miss Fang quietly lifted the curtain and saw Mr. Song carefully helping Miss Shen into the carriage. Respect and love were written in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. She couldn't help but show envy.
"What's the use of being good?"
Miss Fang Liu slapped her sister's hand away and closed the curtain tightly.
He glared at her and warned, "Don't be like Sister Shen. When choosing a husband, one should not only examine his character, but also his family background and abilities. On the surface, Young Master Song seemed to be good to Sister Shen, but now he has no official position. It is said that his parents have both passed away, and he can only rely on the Shen family..."
"Sixth sister! Be careful with your words!"
Fang Wanrou's face turned cold: "Is this how Second Aunt taught you? It seems you still need to learn some more etiquette!"
Miss Fang Liu's face froze, and she lowered her head, "Third sister, I know I was wrong."
The atmosphere between the sisters was tense, while Song Qianru got into the carriage and shamelessly squeezed in with Xihe. He insisted that she was uncomfortable leaning against the wall and pulled her into his arms before he would stop.
The maids' faces flushed red, they lowered their heads and huddled in the corner, pretending to be invisible all the way.
After entering the city and returning to the mansion, Mrs. Shen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them coming back together, and then quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes for the two of them to fill their stomachs first.
Song Qianru was still noisy at the dinner table, serving dishes and adding food, but he was extremely considerate and thoughtful to Xihe.
At night, lying in bed, Mrs. Shen Er suddenly said, "Do you think it's time for Jun'er and Qianru to get married?"
Master Shen Er was confused: “What?”
Mrs. Shen Er thought of the two of them being inseparable and was suddenly worried and unable to sleep. She felt helpless and unwilling: "It's all your fault. How could you put my own daughter in this situation? If, if..."
Within just a few months of arriving in Beijing, many people came to propose marriage, including many from wealthy and powerful families.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved. After all, her daughter was so beautiful, virtuous, and kind-hearted that she could be a royal concubine, but unfortunately... Mrs. Shen pushed her husband: "It has come to this. How long do you plan to delay the marriage?"
Do we have to make some noise before we do anything?
Anyway, she has given up now. Since they can't separate, they might as well get married and live a good life.
Anyway, she didn't expect her daughter to marry a handsome man, as long as she could live happily all her life.
Master Shen Er nodded and said, "Okay, then let's get married as soon as possible."
Mrs. Shen Er: “…”
Close your eyes and go to sleep.
The Second Wife must have been really anxious, and within two days, there were moves in the mansion. When Chen Jianjun came back from the academy, he found out that his sister was actually going to marry that kid Song Qianru!
Chen Jianjun widened his eyes and yelled, "How could my second sister like that boy?"
Mrs. Shen slapped him and scolded him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Qianru will be your brother-in-law from now on, don't be disrespectful!"
Shen Jianjun: ...still incredible.
He secretly ran to Song Qianru's residence, intending to find out what was going on.
As a result, the servant said that the person was in the second young lady's yard, so he ran to Fangfei Garden in Xihe without stopping. As a result, just as he walked outside the greenhouse, he heard laughter coming from inside the house. He pushed the door open and went in, and saw two people huddled together reading a storybook and laughing.
Shen Jianjun: ...This is not what he thought.
He looked at the expression on his sister's face, which was relaxed and comfortable, without a trace of psychological pressure.
Song Qianru also had a happy look on his face.
"Chen San, you're back! Come on, come on, this is so funny."
Chen Jianjun moved over slowly and was pulled to sit by Song Qianru. The three of them gathered together to read the storybook.
This book was found by Xihe from Gouzi. He stayed in the space all day and had nothing to do, so he bought a lot of novels to kill time. It turned out to be quite good!
The wedding was scheduled for the beginning of next spring, and for this purpose, Master Shen Er specially used his savings to buy the yard next door for the two to get married.
Song Qianru was so happy that he went around the room and praised her highly: "Chen Er, what you bought is exactly what I wanted. It looks great!"
Master Shen Er smiled, his eyes filled with a doting look that he had not noticed.
Xihe took a look and said nothing. It wasn't a bad thing to have one more person to help Song Qianru.
During the Chinese New Year, all the officials came to the palace with their families to celebrate. Master Shen Er brought his family along. At the palace banquet, Xihe saw a woman standing next to Princess Yu, and it was Lu'er.
Song Qianru opened his ears and whispered to Xihe, "Lu'er was talking to Princess Yu, but Princess Yu ignored her."
"Prince Yu warns Princess Yu not to lose her temper in public!"
"The eldest lady of the general's mansion was staring at Shen San and discussing with her sister that he was ugly and not as handsome as Master Shen Er."
Chen Jianjun: ...Please respect me as the person involved, thank you!
He couldn't help but look in the direction of the general's mansion, and sure enough, he saw a round-faced little girl staring at him. He immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at the little girl fiercely.
What does a little girl know? He is so majestic! So majestic!
That's right, after continuous training from his martial arts master, Chen Jianjun successfully developed a body of muscular muscles. At first glance, he looked like a martial artist.
The second daughter of the general's mansion who was glared at was: "..."
After three rounds of drinks, His Majesty left with the Queen and instructed the Crown Prince to take charge of the situation.
Xihe noticed that not only Prince Yu and Prince Cheng, but also several other princes had changed their expressions... Xihe sighed, it seemed that another struggle for power was inevitable.
She looked at Second Master Shen, who was standing next to Prime Minister Fang, chatting and laughing with the officials.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the prime minister is a staunch member of the imperial party and he will be loyal to whoever is on the throne.
Otherwise, Xihe was wondering whether he should intervene in the matter of who would become the emperor for the sake of the Shen family.
At a palace banquet, everyone was exchanging feelings, while Xihe and Song Qianru ate until their bellies were full.
It attracted many people to look over.
Chen Jianjun looked embarrassed: "Could you two please stop embarrassing yourself!"
Song Qianru asked back while gnawing on a chicken leg: “How can you not be ashamed? Is it like you? You can’t eat even if your stomach is growling with hunger? Shen San, why are you so vulgar now!”
Xihe agreed: "That's right, brother, you are so tacky now!"
Shen Jianjun was almost pissed off. Wasn't he thinking about them? His kindness was truly taken for granted!
He sat down angrily, snatched the chicken leg from Song Qianru's hand, and took a bite of it. In an instant, the happiness of enjoying the delicious food almost made him burst into tears.
As expected, I shouldn’t be so reserved!
