The dowry played a significant role in Su Lin'er's ability to navigate between the male and female leads for many years later on.
Su Wenyuan suddenly felt sorry for the original owner of this body. Her mother was deceived, her dowry was taken, and she was lame and married to a blind man. It was so frustrating.
Fortunately, the dowry has been preserved.
"I really didn't realize you had the guts to assassinate the prince. You've been hiding it all this time." Su Yuan's hand trembled slightly as he pointed at her. "You went to such lengths to conceal your abilities just to find an opportunity to drag us down with you?"
After thinking it over and over, Su Yuan could only come up with this one explanation.
Su Wenyuan responded with a smile, "There are many things you haven't noticed. We have a long time to clear things up one by one."
Su Yuan roared, "You shut up for once..."
Su Wenyuan raised her hand to stop her, and then said, "The dowry has been delivered. You can leave now. Don't worry, this fire was an accident."
Su Yuan was unwilling to leave. He hadn't touched his dowry, afraid of being ridiculed. He had honestly saved it up for so many years, only to hand it over to Su Wenyuan in one fell swoop in the end.
He has the urge to lie here and act like a spoiled child.
Su Wenyuan suppressed a laugh and asked with ill intent, "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for the Prince to come out and see you off?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan turned and left, wishing he could fly, not daring to linger for even a moment.
Su Wenyuan sighed, having a bad reputation isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Outside Zhuyue Pavilion, there was another person who wanted to leave but couldn't: the female doctor who was treating Su Wenyuan.
She knelt there, tears streaming down her face, just as Su Wenyuan returned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Meng Qi said with difficulty, "The prince said she could stay, but she insists on leaving."
"Why keep her around?" Su Wenyuan asked, puzzled.
At this moment, the female doctor crawled to Su Wenyuan's feet, crying, and said, "Your Highness, please save me! The Prince Chen's mansion sent doctors, but no one dared to come. I only came because I am kind-hearted. Why do you want to kill me?"
Su Wenyuan's expression changed, and she pulled Meng Qi aside to ask in a low voice, "Why did you kill her?"
She had heard Yuexiu say that none of the imperial physicians who entered the manor ever came out alive, and now she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
Who would dare to come to Prince Chen's residence for medical treatment after that?
Even a prince shouldn't treat human life so carelessly.
Meng Qi quickly explained, "I didn't intend to kill her. The prince said to let her stay in the manor for a while to treat your injuries. Burns are difficult to heal, so I don't want to leave scars."
Su Wenyuan was speechless. The female doctor had misunderstood, and he wasn't going to explain. One of them knelt there crying, while the other stood by watching.
Judging from the female doctor's condition, even if we explain things clearly now, we can't keep her here. If we keep her in the mansion, she'll scare herself half to death. We should let her go back.
Su Wenyuan gave her the silver and some medicine, then let her go.
The female physician successfully left the Prince Chen's residence and even received a reward, for which she was extremely grateful to Su Wenyuan.
In less than a night, the story was spread with embellishments.
Prince Chen was as fierce and menacing as ever, but his princess was like a celestial being who saved her life. Princess Chen was beautiful and kind-hearted; she was sent by heaven specifically to punish Prince Chen...
Su Wenyuan had no idea such an outrageous story would spread. All she wanted to do now was sleep and count her money at dawn.
"Where do I live?" Su Wenyuan asked Meng Qi.
When Meng Qi saw the dowry being delivered to Zhuyue Pavilion, he guessed that the prince and princess would be living together, so he pointed to Sheng Jingyu's room and then went to arrange accommodations for Yuexiu.
Su Wenyuan only knew about Zhuyue Pavilion, so she took it for granted, thinking that Zhuyue Pavilion was prepared for her.
Unexpectedly, when I pushed open the door, Sheng Jingyu was taking off his clothes...
Her upper body was completely naked, with clearly defined muscles, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. Coupled with her aloof appearance, Su Wenyuan felt it didn't matter whether he could see her or not.
And when she took off her clothes, she wasn't thin at all; Su Wenyuan's eyes lit up.
She was happy, but Sheng Jingyu was dumbfounded. In his original plan, Su Wenyuan was not expected to stay at the Prince Chen's residence, so he did not arrange accommodation for her!
That good-for-nothing Meng Qi not only failed to provide any arrangements, but also directed Su Wenyuan to his room?!
"Your Highness, it must be inconvenient for you to change your clothes by yourself. Shall I help you?" Su Wenyuan walked over enthusiastically, her eyes fixed on his upper body.
Sheng Jingyu saw everything, but could only pretend not to!
At the same time, he cursed in his mind.
Su Wenyuan, taking advantage of his blindness, stared at him with undisguised lewdness, like an old rogue.
"Let Meng Qi do it," Sheng Jingyu said coldly as he summoned Meng Qi.
Su Wenyuan shook her head regretfully. It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future.
When Meng Qi came in, he looked exhausted; the day had worn him out.
Although he didn't get anything done well, he still felt quite accomplished.
Seeing him like this, Sheng Jingyu didn't want to bother him anymore. She only said to change his clothes, and then Meng Qi helped her to go behind the screen.
The night passed peacefully; the two did not disturb each other and remained relatively harmonious.
The next morning, the capital was in an uproar!
From inside the palace to outside, everyone was talking about Su Wenyuan.
"Have you heard? Last night, Princess Consort Chen set fire to the house and almost burned Prince Chen to death."
"Huh? Didn't they just get married yesterday? Wouldn't Prince Chen skin Princess Chen alive?"
"The strange thing is that Princess Chen is fine, she was just burned, and a female doctor was invited to the mansion to treat her. Before leaving, Prince Chen wanted to kill the female doctor to vent his anger, but Princess Chen stopped him."
The people around were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. The Emperor couldn't even save the person that Prince Chen wanted to kill. Who was this Princess Chen?
"And there's more! It was clearly the Princess Consort who set the fire, but not only did Prince Chen not blame her, he even went to the Emperor to explain that it was an accidental fire. When Prince Chen entered the palace last night, his clothes were torn."
This conversation took place throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone was talking about it.
Su Wenyuan had just gotten up when she heard this shocking news.
Isn't this spreading rumors?
Sheng Jingyu has already explained everything clearly, yet they still keep throwing mud at her.
Meng Qi urged from the side, "Someone from the palace has come to urge you again. Your Highness, please hurry. I will accompany you to the palace."
"Is it that I don't want to hurry?" Su Wenyuan asked with displeasure.
When she woke up in the morning, Sheng Jingyu was no longer by her side. Then Meng Qi told her that she was going to the palace to pay her respects to the Emperor and Empress today.
Su Wenyuan hurriedly got up to wash and dress, but the servants in the mansion were negligent in every way.
They urged people to fetch water more than three times, and then pushed and pulled them while they were changing clothes.
Yuexiu was unfamiliar with Prince Chen's residence, and no one paid attention to her when she asked questions, nor could she do anything on her own.
The servants have been doing this for the whole morning, and the kitchen still hasn't prepared breakfast for her.
Su Wenyuan suspected that if Sheng Jingyu hadn't stayed there overnight, she probably wouldn't have even been able to get a drink of water.
She then had to go to the palace to pay her respects. In the book, her first visit to the palace to pay her respects was a month later.
On their first meeting, the Empress kept him kneeling in the palace all night...
The fact that it's been brought up so suddenly must be because of the arson incident.
