Chapter 646 Marriage (3)
Shen Wan's face was filled with embarrassment. Now the affair between him and Chen Ruoqiu had caused a stir in the entire court. His colleagues looked at him with a look of ridicule, which was a painful torture for Shen Wan, who was very careful about his reputation.
Shen Wan said: "I am willing to sacrifice my life for Your Highness!"
Fu Xiuyi just smiled when he heard this, but did not respond. It was unclear whether he believed Shen Wan's words or not. There were only the two of them and the servant in the whole hall. This silence gradually made the atmosphere tense. Cold sweat began to seep out of Shen Wan's forehead.
It was unknown how long this silence lasted, until Shen Wan felt that his whole body was drenched with sweat, and then he heard the voice of Fu Xiuyi above him. He said, "But now Shen Xin has left the house and gone to live elsewhere, what about you?"
Shen Wan's mind "skipped". Fu Xiuyi really came for Shen Xin.
Before the Second House fell into decline, Shen Wan had already guessed that Shen Yuan was working for Fu Xiuyi. But what could Fu Xiuyi ask Shen Yuan to do? Shen Yuan had been taken in by Fu Xiuyi when he was still young, and simply because of his talent wasn't enough. Later, Shen Wan figured it out: Shen Yuan was probably using it to keep an eye on Shen Xin, or perhaps to manipulate Shen Xin's daily routine.
But then Shen Yuan died, and Fu Xiuyi thought he was in need of someone like Shen Yuan. Later, Shen Xin simply went to Xiaochun City, so he was no longer needed.
Who knew that two years later, Shen Xin would return to Beijing with an even more powerful force that could not be ignored, and would inevitably become a particularly glaring existence in Fu Xiuyi's eyes.
Shen Wan said cautiously: "Although we have established our own residence and live separately, we still have some brotherly love. If Your Highness has any instructions, I will do my best."
"Okay." Fu Xiuyi said, "I appreciate talented people and I believe in Lord Shen's ability. Recently, there happened to be something. Since Lord Shen happened to be here today, I won't bother others. Since we are all one of us, I believe Lord Shen will handle it well."
Shen Wan felt a little uneasy. Fu Xiuyi's words clearly meant to give him a difficult problem. If he succeeded, he would naturally be Fu Xiuyi's man. If he failed, he would fail to prove himself to be a "talented person" and would be ruthlessly abandoned by Fu Xiuyi. Shen Wan would also have to bear the consequences of this difficult problem.
This is a deal.
Shen Wanxin made up his mind and said, “Your Highness, please give your orders!”
Fu Xiuyi looked at him with satisfaction and said, "This is not difficult. I know that General Shen has a legitimate daughter, Miss Shen Wu, whom he loves like a jewel. Now Miss Shen Wu is also of the age to get engaged."
Shen Wan raised his head suddenly!
When Shen Miao had chased Fu Xiuyi, shouting that she wanted to marry him, Fu Xiuyi wouldn't even look at her. Occasionally, when she spoke of this to other princes and courtiers, she would look annoyed. After all, being liked by such a foolish and naive person was tantamount to humiliation for a prince. But now… Shen Wan's heart was pounding. Shen Miao was becoming more and more beautiful, her temperament gradually becoming calmer. She had shed her former foolish appearance and was now truly a very good noblewoman in Dingjing. If Fu Xiuyi wanted to marry Shen Miao… Given the hostility between the first and third branches of the Shen family, once Shen Miao gained power, she would definitely suppress him.
In terms of public and private matters, the better Shen Miao's life was, the better the Shen family's eldest wife's life was, and the more dangerous Shen Wan himself would be! He didn't want Shen Miao to rise higher and higher, he wanted Shen Miao to be as lowly as dust!
Shen Wan suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "Your Highness... do you want to marry the fifth sister?"
"This palace?" Fu Xiuyi laughed, as if he had heard something funny. He shook his head and said, "It's not this palace, it's my brother."
