Chapter 82 The Abandoned Eldest Daughter Makes a Comeback (6)
Liu Ying froze, exclaiming, "What?"
Although it has been ten years since I last saw him, I still remember his name vividly.
Even her daughter's name was chosen to follow this name, just to please Zhang.
Whenever she thought of Zhang, she felt humiliated, but also proud.
So what if he was domineering and arrogant back then? He still died long ago, and even his daughter, whom he gave birth to after surviving countless hardships, ended up in her hands.
It was with this grudge that she didn't kill the bastard, but kept him in her hands to slowly torment him.
But what's going on now? How did she meet the Crown Prince, and how did he take her away?!
Shen Zhengde suppressed his anger and repeated, "Shen Yunzhen has been taken away by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Ying's voice was shrill: "How did that bitch get to know His Highness the Crown Prince?"
She had deliberately arranged for a dilapidated and remote village.
Shen Zhengde said irritably, "What else could it be? Of course, she ran away. It's no secret that the Crown Prince went to Yuchang Prefecture to investigate corruption a few days ago. She must have found out about His Highness's whereabouts from somewhere and was waiting on his way."
After all, she was a young woman who had offered herself up, and that wretched girl had probably even mentioned her name. His Highness the Crown Prince had no reason to refuse her.
"this……"
Liu Ying was filled with remorse.
She should have killed that bastard.
"My lord, why don't you send someone to bring her back from His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Such a woman's view!" Shen Zhengde rebuked angrily. "Everyone knows that my daughter was taken back by His Highness the Crown Prince. Now I'm coming to ask for her back. What do you expect His Highness to think?"
"So we can only watch her get up?"
Shen Zhengde narrowed his eyes: "She's just a woman; His Highness the Crown Prince won't take her too seriously."
As long as he doesn't agree to anything, and even deliberately distances himself from the other party, His Highness the Crown Prince should understand his attitude, and that wretched girl will no longer be able to rely on him.
Thus, she was merely a concubine who was dispensable.
Liu Ying was still unwilling to give up, but she didn't have any good solutions.
She said regretfully, "I shouldn't have sent him to the estate."
Even if the person stays in the mansion, she can still manipulate them at will, and they will not be able to escape her control.
She sent the girl to the estate because she remembered her own impoverished childhood, while Zhang Shi lived a life surrounded by servants. So she wanted Zhang Shi's daughter to repay that kind of suffering.
As childhood sweethearts, Shen Zhengde knew his thoughts perfectly well.
Zhang was spoiled and willful, and he often had to humble himself and compromise in front of her.
In addition, for some unspeakable reasons, he did not want to see his daughter, so he acquiesced to Liu Ying's behavior.
"Alright, it's too late to say anything now. If anyone asks later, don't say anything, and don't express any opinion."
"Yes, sir."
"It's a pity about General Wu's place; we can only send Xuan'er there."
General Wu is the commander-in-chief of the northwestern border defense line, a second-rank official. He is over forty years old this year, about the same age as me. His first wife passed away before the new year.
Shen Zhengde originally planned to marry his third daughter, Shen Yunxuan, to him as his second wife, but he couldn't resist his beloved concubine's pleas and changed his mind, considering his eldest daughter, whom he disliked.
Before he could make up his mind, that unfilial daughter had grown up and flown away. He had no other daughters of marriageable age, so he had no choice but to let Xuan'er go.
Go and comfort Yumei tonight.
Although Yu Mei was Zhang's dowry maid, her personality was completely different from Zhang's. She was gentle, sensible, and even helped him...
Shen Zhengde valued her highly and usually doted on her.
Liu Ying's expression twisted for a moment, then quickly returned to a gentle smile.
"Then you should go and keep Aunt Yu company tonight and comfort her."
Shen Zhengde patted Liu Ying's hand: "Madam is very sensible. I will go and comfort her."
As Liu Ying watched Shen Zhengde leave the study, her expression changed instantly, becoming extremely gloomy.
They're all despicable people, damned despicable people.
Although General Wu is old, his official rank is one level higher than the master's, and he holds great power. If Shen Yunxuan marries into his family, that bitch Yu Mei will probably be even more smug.
Unfortunately, the master took this matter very seriously, and she didn't find an opportunity to make a move.
Fortunately, that bitch didn't have a son, otherwise she would never have let this happen, no matter the risk.
Shen Yunzhen was unaware of the uproar her actions of accompanying Xiao Chengxu to the capital had caused, but even if she did, she wouldn't care, and she was even less concerned about being misunderstood about her identity.
She did not have the modern concept of chastity, nor did she feel that she was bound to a man because of it.
She chose to live in Xiao Chengxu's house simply because she wanted to live a good life.
Although she lived a carefree life in her previous life, her conditions were ultimately limited and resources were scarce.
All she wants now is to enjoy herself and make up for what she lost before.
Just then, Xiao Chengxu appeared. As the crown prince of a country, he had an enormous number of servants around him.
As for anything else, she didn't agree to anything.
Xiao Chengxu brought Shen Yunzhen to one of his residences outside the palace. It was a large four-courtyard house with an exquisite layout, and every corner was decorated very elegantly.
"Yunzhen, you can stay here in peace from now on. I will tell the servants that they will all obey your orders from now on. From now on, you are their master."
Shen Yunzhen nodded slightly: "Thank you."
Xiao Chengxu's ears turned slightly red.
"This is what I should do."
The thought of Shen Yunzhen living in the house he used to live in filled him with excitement and a sweet feeling.
Although it was inconvenient for him to live here again afterward, wasn't this a different kind of living under the same roof?
Logically, he should have left after delivering the person, but Xiao Chengxu's feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, and he couldn't move them no matter what.
He lowered his head in shame, but still mustered up his courage and said, "Yunzhen, let me show you around so you can get familiar with the environment of this house."
Shen Yunzhen readily agreed: "Okay."
Xiao Chengxu suppressed his excitement and led Shen Yunzhen...
Xiao Chengxu's heart soared to its peak, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
He quickly walked to Shen Yunzhen's side. "Yunzhen, this way please."
Xiao Chengxu himself hadn't really explored the house thoroughly, spending most of his time in the front yard. But his perspective was broad enough that he could talk eloquently about anything he'd never seen before. Not to mention, in front of his beloved, he could have endless things to say about even the smallest flower or blade of grass.
This was Shen Yunzhen's first time in such a world. Although she had seen similar buildings in modern times, the era was different, so the feeling was naturally different as well. Therefore, she found it very novel. In addition, Xiao Chengxu was eloquent and kept making witty remarks along the way, which Shen Yunzhen listened to with great interest.
Seeing this, Xiao Chengxu became even more excited and spoke with even more enthusiasm.
The two figures moved around the house, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.
