"That day you asked..." He suddenly grabbed her trembling hand, "Is it because of your father's last words that I married you?"
Raindrops dripped down his chin onto the back of her hand. "Now I tell you, it's not."
"The one I've always loved is..." Sheng Jingheng held her face in his hands, "the silly girl who would secretly make soup for me and stay up late at night."
Ruan Niang suddenly burst into tears and punched his chest: "It's too late... too late... Go away!"
Every blow felt like a blow to the heart.
Sheng Jingheng let her beat him and held her tightly: "Madam, I won't leave. Wherever you are, that's home!"
"My dear... don't you want your official position anymore? That was the dream you achieved with great difficulty..." Ruan Niang leaned on his shoulder and burst into tears.
"No, nothing is more important than you. When I couldn't take the imperial examination, I thought being an official was the biggest regret in my life.
But without you, everything is meaningless. Losing you makes me unable to breathe and unable to live. "
Sheng Jingheng choked up and kept kissing her temples.
From that day on, both of them kept silent. Ruan Niang ignored Sheng Jingheng, and he followed her up the mountain to collect herbs, accompanied her to pick herbs, and secretly went to the kitchen to cook when she fell asleep.
Then quietly put it on the table and wait for her to wake up and eat it.
Capital city, Sheng Mansion.
Su Yunfu lay on the brocade couch, and the wounds left by the board forced her to lie on her side.
She held the handkerchief in her hand and pointed at Sheng's mother, saying, "I want bird's nest porridge! I want it to be thick!"
She deliberately raised her voice, "Sheng Jingheng broke my uterine seal, he must marry me!"
Sheng Xitang kicked open the carved door and slammed the medicine bowl in his hand onto the table. "Shameless thing! Do you really think you're the young mistress?"
Her eyes widened, "My elder brother has never even touched you!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Yunfu struggled to get up, grimacing in pain, "That day in the teahouse, Brother Jingheng clearly..."
"Shut up!" Sheng Xitang grabbed her collar, "If you dare to slander my brother again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
At midnight, Sheng Xitang squatted under the west wing window holding a glass lamp.
Mrs. Su's low voice came from inside the room: "...What if Sheng Jingheng doesn't come back?"
"His mother is here, how can he not come back?" Su Yunfu's voice was full of calculation, "If the imperial concubine is favored, he can be reinstated at any time. I will be the wife of an official sooner or later!"
Madam Su sighed: "Yuanming is really sincere to you..."
"Bah!" Su Yunfu sneered, "A poor scholar with only a few shabby shops at home, is he worthy of me?"
Sheng Xitang's eyes lit up—Yuan Ming?!
I always feel that this matter is not simple, and this person is not simple!
She walked away hunched over.
The next day, in Prince Yu’s mansion.
Yuan Ming was chained to the rack.
Prince Yu played with a dagger and deliberately asked, "Miss Su said... she doesn't know you at all."
"Impossible!" Yuan Ming looked up suddenly, his handsome face flushed red.
"I am a classmate of Su Yu, and everyone in the academy can testify that I have a very good relationship with the Su siblings."
Sheng Xitang nodded and prodded him, "If you really like Su Yunfu, then go for her quickly, otherwise she'll marry my brother right away! By then, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
Yuan Mingdao: "I like Yun Fu, and she gave her body to me. Two months ago in the back garden of the Su Mansion, she drugged me..."
His voice suddenly dropped, "We...are already married...she can't marry Sheng Jingheng!"
Prince Yu said, "Okay, I'll make the decision for you and let Su Yunfu marry you obediently."
Yuan Ming suddenly struggled: "Don't hurt Yun Fu! She is just... just too vain..."
Prince Yu and Sheng Xitang looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other's eyes - this man was simply pitifully stupid.
The next day, after noon.
In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ling sat on the upper seats, with Sheng Xiyan beside them.
Mrs. Su and Su Yunfu were kneeling below.
"Why hasn't Prince Yu come yet? He said he had something important to tell him." The Queen Mother said unhappily.
";Empress Dowager! Prince Yu is here!";
When everyone saw Prince Yu coming in with a scholar, they frowned and asked, "What is this?"
"I pay my respects to my brother the Emperor and to the Empress Dowager." Prince Yu bowed.
"This Mr. Yuan said he has something important to report."
Yuan Ming knelt down and stammered, "Miss Su and I have already secretly decided to spend our lives together..."
"Nonsense!" Su Yunfu screamed, her hair all messed up. "Aunt! I don't know this crazy person!"
Yuan Ming took out the bellyband embroidered with the word "Fu" with shaking hands: "This is yours, Fu'er, don't be vain anymore and make the same mistake again and again."
Su Yunfu suddenly retracted her hand and her face turned pale.
