Chapter 387 The Crown Prince is Conferred the Title of King!
"Mother, am I not your daughter?"
"Why do you only care about your older sister and not me?"
"Mother, do you know how difficult my life was in the Prince's mansion..."
A short while later, Shen Yuantang came out carrying the box.
Shen Lanxi stepped forward and met her.
“Elder sister, Mother took pity on me and gave me some money in private. Surely elder sister wouldn’t have any complaints about Mother?” Shen Yuantang said provocatively.
Shen Lanxi stared at her intently, and then two people appeared beside her.
Shen Yuanjun and Shen Yuanqing stood to the left and right of Shen Lanxi respectively.
Shen Yuantang gripped the box tightly, his smug smile freezing on his face and distorting.
"Brother, younger brother."
Shen Yuanjun and Shen Yuanqing frowned as they looked at Shen Yuantang, their eyes filled with disbelief that they hadn't yet managed to conceal.
How did the people who grew up with them become like this?
"It's nothing, I'm leaving now." Shen Yuantang said with a sullen face, picked up her things and left.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Shen Yuantang lowered his head and quickened his pace as he passed the two.
"Big sister..." Shen Yuanqing turned around and looked in the direction Shen Yuantang had left.
"How did Third Sister become like this?" she murmured in bewilderment.
Shen Lanxi: "I've reminded her at least five times."
These words sounded incredibly heavy to the two of them.
The older sister invited them over, and it wasn't just to let them see or hear her say those words.
"Does eldest sister intend to give up on Yuan Tang?" Shen Yuanjun asked in a somber tone.
Shen Lanxi closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind.
"She's no longer on our side."
The Shen brothers' hearts sank once again.
"Big sister, what will happen to her in the future?" Shen Yuanjun knew that the Shen family did not want things to appear stable on the surface.
No one knows when the Shen family's fortunes will crumble.
Shen Lanxi: "Everyone has their own destiny. Since the path she chose is not the same as ours, the place she will eventually arrive at will definitely be different."
"Whether she lives or dies, whether she is rich or poor, it is all her own choice."
Shen Yuanjun lowered his head, his eyes filled with conflict.
"Big sister, can I go to the Northwest to find my second brother?"
Shen Lanxi: "Not yet."
Shen Yuanjun: "The people in the capital are too complicated. It's better to go to the border to fight." Whether it's Dongchuan or the Northwest, it's more comfortable than the capital.
Shen Lanxi: "If you get tired of staying in the capital, go ride horses. After Shen Yuanxin's wedding, I will arrange your marriage with Liu Yangui."
Shen Yuanjun was taken aback, but the next moment, his face was filled with joy.
"Big sister, do you mean she agreed?"
Shen Lanxi slowly raised the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes at him.
"Do you think I don't know you've been with Liu Yangui for a long time?"
Shen Yuanjun's face flushed red instantly.
"Big sister, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I..."
Shen Lanxi interrupted: "Kid, I understand Mu Ai's feelings."
Shen Yuanjun smiled sheepishly.
"Take good care of the things I've assigned you. As for the rest, I, as your older sister, will take care of them for you."
Shen Yuanjun said excitedly, "Thank you, big sister."
Thinking of what Shen Yuantang had taken earlier, Shen Lanxi's smile deepened.
"The family had to scrape together money to get Yuanxin a wife, so you'll definitely have to rely on yourself for your own betrothal gifts."
“These days, Yuan Tang has taken a lot from Mother. You are also Mother’s child, and you will be getting married soon. Go and talk to Mother and see how much dowry you can get from her!”
Shen Yuanjun was somewhat straightforward; there were some things in his storeroom that he didn't want to ask his mother for.
Shen Lanxi patiently instructed, "If you don't want them, then let Yuan Tang move them all to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Shen Yuanqing listened to this.
"Let's go talk to Mother about your marriage!"
Before Shen Yuanjun could react, he was dragged away by Shen Yuanqing.
The following day, Emperor Renxiao issued an imperial edict bestowing the title of prince upon the eldest prince. The edict stated that Zhou Rulin would be formally granted the title on the day of the former empress's death anniversary.
Not long after the imperial edict was issued, a sudden gust of wind swept through the inner palace.
The wind blew to Chaoyun Palace, where it turned into a violent storm.
"To bestow the title of king upon him for such a trivial matter!" With a crash, the teapot was slammed to the ground.
Consort Shu was pale and sweating profusely after smashing and looting the place.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Be careful of the dragon prince in your womb!"
"Your Majesty, our Prince Zhennan will be back in a few days. He is just an old and unfavored prince. How can he be compared to our Prince Zhennan?"
“Our Prince Zhennan is the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is a hero who has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Other princes are not even as good as our Prince’s little finger.”
Consort Shu understood this principle, but she couldn't suppress her anger, which kept rising to the surface.
I just feel like getting angry, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
"I was wondering why His Majesty didn't blame Zhou Rulin at all for suddenly appearing in the capital?" Now there's nothing you can't understand; it was His Majesty who summoned him back.
It must be because of the consecutive defeats in Dongchuan and the Northwest, and because of that little bitch's affair, that His Majesty has become disgusted with her son.
It's all that little bitch's fault, she's a jinx.
And then there's Shen Lanxi. If she hadn't married Shen Lanxi, her son wouldn't have become a laughingstock.
Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Many powerful and wealthy people in the capital keep mistresses, favor their concubines over their wives, and have countless concubines. No one ridicules those people. Why are you only targeting her son?
The heir to the throne must be free of any stain. Now that her son is tainted with disgrace, His Majesty, who has been lenient with him before, will certainly not be so this time.
Consort Shu thought about the cause of the whole incident, and her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
First kill the slut who seduced her son, then kill Shen Lanxi.
In a year or two, when people have forgotten about it, His Majesty will surely remember the good things about her son.
"Someone, go and deal with that bitch, and make sure it's clean."
"yes!"
Before the person who received the order had gone far away, a scream suddenly came from Chaoyun Palace.
"Oh no! Her Majesty is bleeding! Quickly, summon the imperial physician..."
...
Zhou Chengan visited the Juding Mansion again.
He knelt down before Shen Lanxi as soon as he arrived.
"Sister Lanxi, thank you for getting justice for Sister Yunxue!"
Shen Lanxi: "It's not enough to get justice yet. His Majesty said that if the Ji Prince's Mansion doesn't pursue the matter, your sister won't get the divorce papers or her dowry back."
Zhou Cheng'an: "My sister is dead. All those things are just material possessions. As long as those people stop cursing my sister, that's enough!"
Shen Lanxi shook her head inwardly. Some people with dark intentions don't care about the cause and effect; they don't need a reason to curse others.
“The Prince of Zhennan will soon bring your sister’s body back to the capital. Your sister will certainly not be buried in the ancestral grave.”
Zhou Chengan: "That's good too. My sister might not like those people in the family."
This young man is quite magnanimous.
"Sister Lanxi, can I work for you from now on?"
