Chapter 39 Wolf Boy's Black Moonlight Master 07
Xiao Wenqing went to the palace with a sign early in the morning, but she started to look worried as soon as she came back.
Xie Shicheng immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Wenqing and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Wenqing sighed deeply. "I told the Queen that Ziyi didn't want to get married yet. The Queen didn't say anything, but she wanted to match Zhirou and Wang Shichang and even asked for my opinion."
Xie Shicheng frowned, "What did you say?"
Xiao Wenqing said softly, "I didn't say I agreed, nor did I say I disagreed. I just said I would go home and ask Zhirou what she thought."
Just like that, Shen Xinran was called in front of Xie Shicheng and Xiao Wenqing. When she learned that the Queen wanted to arrange a marriage for her and Wang Shichang, she readily agreed, "Okay, no problem."
Xiao Wenqing was still a little hesitant, "Zhirou, this concerns your whole life, don't you think about it?"
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "Don't think about it. Wang Shichang and I are of similar family background and appearance. There's nothing wrong with him."
The most important thing is, if she refuses, how will the next big show start?
The day after Shen Xinran agreed, the Queen's imperial decree for marriage came down, and her wedding with Wang Shichang was set for the spring of the following year.
Wang Shichang's arrival and the imperial edict granting the marriage came at the same time.
"Miss, Young Master Wang is chatting with Madam in the main hall. Madam wants you to go over and meet him."
Shen Xinran lay in the rocking chair and waved his hand, "No need, just bring him here."
Just like that, Wang Shichang followed the maid to Shen Xinran's yard.
But as soon as he stepped into the yard, a dark shadow pounced on him, accompanied by a roar unique to wild beasts.
Wang Shichang was so frightened that he shrank his body and kept backing away. Fortunately, the shadow's movement range was just that yard, and after he left the yard, the shadow shrank into the corner.
Looking over, she saw Shen Xinran lying on the recliner. After hearing the sound, she opened her eyes, walked over to the werewolf, and patted his back to comfort him.
Then he walked to the gate of the yard and said to himself with a smile: "My dear prince, I am so sorry. I am a pet who is afraid of death and protects my master."
Seeing Chen Xinran define what just happened as a pet protecting its owner, Wang Shichang didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips, "I heard from Brother Zizhao that you like the goddess statue. I think the workmanship of this goddess statue is pretty good, so I sent it to you."
"Thank you very much, Young Master Wang." After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he gave Cuizhu a look.
Cuizhu immediately walked up to Wang Shichang. "Young Master Wang, just give it to me."
Wang Shichang handed over the goddess statue and looked at the man in the corner. He frowned and said, "This werewolf is still a man after all. Why did you let him stay in your yard?"
Chen Xinran chuckled, "Pets are divided into male and female? That's ridiculous."
Wang Shichang smiled awkwardly, "I'm short-sighted. To be honest, I fell deeply in love with you the moment we parted at the flower viewing banquet. That's why I secretly went to the Queen and asked her to act as a matchmaker for us."
Shen Xinran just watched Wang Shichang quietly make up a story, saying that it was love at first sight, but he was just attracted by the power that the Xie family could bring him.
When the Xie family is no longer useful, Wang Shichang will abandon Xie Zhirou.
Therefore, Shen Xinran did not have a good face towards Wang Shichang.
She raised her eyes slightly and asked, "I heard that Princess Yangyu is still on a hunger strike in the palace. How come Prince Wang, as her cousin, doesn't go and try to persuade her?"
Wang Shichang frowned, "Zhirou, why do you ask that? Do you think I like Princess Yangyu? You're wrong. Princess Yangyu and I only have a brother-sister relationship."
Shen Xinran looked at Wang Shichang with a smile. She didn't know whether Wang Shichang liked Sima Yangyu or not, but she knew that Sima Yangyu loved Wang Shichang to death.
Wang Shichang also noticed that Shen Xinran didn't want to chat with him, so he could only say goodbye. "I have something to do at home, so I won't disturb Zhirou's rest."
In this way, Wang Shichang met his fiancée for the first time without even entering the yard.
Shen Xinran walked up to the male protagonist, patted his head, and said with a smile: "You performed well just now. I will ask the kitchen to give you an extra meal tonight."
Hearing the word "snack", the werewolf's eyes lit up, and he stood up straight and rubbed Shen Xinran's neck with his head.
Shen Xinran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The doctor said that the male protagonist had a weak stomach, so she always let him drink meat porridge.
But the male protagonist just likes the bones for making meat porridge, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't eat them for a day.
Cuizhu, who was standing aside, showed a worried expression. What Young Master Wang said just now was right. This werewolf was also a man. Why did it feel like he was too close to her young lady?
During lunch, Xiao Wenqing glanced at Shen Xinran, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
It was Shen Xinran who sensed something was wrong with Xiao Wenqing and asked, "Mother, just tell me what's going on!"
Xiao Wenqing nodded, "Now that you're engaged, do you want to deal with the werewolf in the yard?"
Shen Xinran frowned and asked, "Mother, if you ask me to give up a pet for him now, then do I have to give up my pride for him in the future?"
Shen Xinran's words were strongly agreed by Xie Shicheng, "You are right, you are what you were before. It was Wang Shichang who begged to marry you, it's not like you can't get married."
Xiao Wenqing glared at Xie Shicheng and stopped talking. But she also understood that her daughter never gave in and was not easy to talk to, just like her father.
In the early morning, just as the crimson sunlight crested the hilltop, the concierge suddenly received a letter, which was to be delivered to Xie Zhirou.
Shen Xinran knew the plot was coming without even looking. She took the male lead to Chaling Restaurant.
Waiting there was Princess Yang Yu, "Xie Zhirou, do you dare to challenge me to a fair match to see whose pet is more powerful?"
Chen Xinran smiled faintly, "Since it's a competition, how can it be possible without a prize?"
Sima Yangyu was still dressed brightly and beautifully, but even her heavy makeup could not hide her haggard appearance.
She went on a hunger strike in the palace for three whole days, but her mother refused to agree to her marrying her cousin.
Thinking of this, Sima Yangyu looked at Xie Zhirou with a hint of resentment. "If I win, you will break off the engagement with my cousin."
Shen Xinran asked back, "What if I win?"
Sima Yangyu sneered, "You can't win!"
After Sima Yangyu finished speaking, he looked at the young eunuch beside him. The young eunuch immediately walked to the backyard and pushed over a large iron cage.
There was a wild wolf in the cage, and its ferocious eyes looked like it had been hungry for three days.
When Cuizhu saw this, she immediately walked up to Shen Xinran and said with concern, "Miss——"
Chen Xinran stopped Cuizhu from saying anything further with a gesture. He turned to look at Sima Yangyu, "Don't be so confident. What if I win?"
Sima Yangyu said coldly, "If you win, I will kneel down and kowtow to you three times."
Chen Xinran frowned slightly, because Xie Zhirou agreed to the competition just for Sima Yangyu's three kowtows.
But she was different. What did she want Sima Yangyu's clapping for?
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "Kneel before the heavens, kneel before the earth, kneel before my parents. I can't bear the princess's slapping."
Sima Yangyu said unhappily, "Then what do you want?"
Shen Xinran pondered for a moment, "How about this, if I win, you give me ten thousand taels of gold."
Sima Yangyu hesitated, "This is too much!"
Shen Xinran raised an eyebrow, "Didn't the princess claim to be the emperor's most beloved daughter? Can't she produce this?"
Sima Yangyu glared and said unconvincedly, "Who can't take it out?"
When Shen Xinran heard this, she knew that her provocation had succeeded.
Although Sima Yangyu was displeased, he nodded. "Then it's a deal. If I win, you and my cousin will break off our engagement. If you win, I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold."
