Chapter 197 Admitting Mistakes
When Chen Shuyao thought of what he had done before, she was furious: "You finally admit that you didn't really mean to help me find a marriage?"
Xiao Mo asked the guards to spread the soft felt they had brought on the grass. He sat down himself and reached out to pull the young woman in front of him. "So what kind of illusion made you think that a man who has hugged you and saved you several times would really help find a marriage?"
Shen Shuyao choked. Xiao Mo sat for a while, then whispered, "Am I not as good as Luo Yanjin?"
He placed his hands on his knees, his eyes half-closed as he spoke, looking a little lonely.
Chen Shu said angrily, "What I don't like is that you don't respect me. You will never know what it feels like to live under someone else's roof. You are the high and mighty prince, and even if I am dissatisfied in my heart, I can only be submissive and flattering to you."
This was the first time that Chen Shuyao expressed her inner thoughts so intensely. She stared at the other person while speaking, like a red-eyed rabbit.
Xiao Mo was stunned when he heard this, but then he snorted and laughed: "You know how to tell the truth now? Then why didn't you tell me your true self at that time? Do you dare to say that you didn't have any calculations in your mind? You had the mentality of using me, and then you wanted to get rid of it cleanly when you didn't need me anymore. How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
His words were too sharp, and Shen Shuyao wanted to say that she didn't have such thoughts.
But she opened her lips, but no words came out.
When she first arrived at the Duke's Mansion, she was very cautious, and then she acted pitiful in front of the other party because of her younger brother's schooling.
But at that time, Chen Shuyao didn't know what a man's pity for a woman meant.
Maybe she knew it vaguely, but was still hoping for a lucky break.
Xiao Mo looked at the red-eyed rabbit in front of him, sighed in his heart, and reached out to embrace the person again, "Okay, it's my fault."
After saying that, he kissed the girl's eyes again. The man's kiss was gentle and delicate.
Chen Shuyao placed her hand on the back of the other person's head, gently touched it, and then said sullenly: "You...don't bully me anymore!"
The man's expression warmed up instantly. He chuckled and touched his wife's face in his arms, then found those soft lips and kissed her.
While kissing him, he asked, "Is this how you bully me?"
Chen Shuyao bit him in annoyance.
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, but seemed to be aroused. He pressed her under him and kissed her for a long time.
From a distance, the guards and maids saw a man and a woman kissing each other in the middle of the green grass. They were originally sitting, but gradually rolled onto the felt carpet.
Occasionally, the wind would pick up a piece of clothing that was a completely different color from the grass, or perhaps there would be a few soft words of complaint or a low laugh...
When the sun came out, the grassland became a little hot, so Xiao Mo came back on horseback with Chen Shuyao.
When Wang came to look for her daughter-in-law, she saw her eldest son helping Chen Shuyao get off the horse, looking very considerate.
She stood there for a long while, as if she was meeting her son for the first time.
But soon Wang came forward again with a smile, "Where did you go so early in the morning? You didn't even tell me."
Chen Shuyao gave the opportunity to reply to the man beside her, and then heard him say shamelessly: "Watch the sunrise."
Chen Shuyao thought about the last time they watched the stars in the attic. She pursed her numb lips and blinked, saying, "The prince took me horseback riding."
Wang laughed it off. As a woman who had been without a husband for many years, she was blatantly shown affection by her son.
But soon the Duke's wife started talking about business again, such as that she would be leaving for home tomorrow morning and she could put her things away first...
She glared at her son after she finished speaking: "You little bastard! Just watch the sunrise, don't keep hitting your wife's neck. Are the red marks you left there to show what you did when you were out?"
Chen Shuyao went back to catch up on her sleep, while Xiao Mo was called away by the emperor.
Because she was leaving, she did not go out that day. When she got up the next day, she went to bed very early.
While walking on the road, she met Liu Lingzhen, who had just been named Concubine Zhuang.
There was no attire prepared for the concubine in the villa. Apart from the fact that her clothes were more gorgeous, they were no different from the original ones.
Chen Shuyao bowed and called out to Concubine Zhuang. Liu Lingzhen looked her up and down for a long moment before saying, "You are the wife of Prince Xiao, right?"
Chen Shuyao said, "It's my wife." The newly promoted Concubine Zhuang raised her hand to let her stand up. Then she chuckled and walked forward with the palace maid supporting her arm.
Seeing her master frown, Qiao Wei asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about, young lady?"
Chen Shuyao couldn't tell Qiao Wei that she always felt that Liu Lingzhen looked a little weird.
How should I put it? She doesn't look like a girl from a good family.
Is she really Liu Qichuan's daughter?
But Chen Shuyao then thought, since the emperor took her as his concubine, he must have his own way of investigating.
Now that even the emperor has approved of it, it seems there is no point for her to question it.
After Chen Shuyao found the carriage they were going to take, the rest of the people came out one after another.
The servants and maids from each family moved all the things out and placed them neatly on the carriage.
Before the emperor came out, everyone gathered around the carriage to chat, and some even spoke through the curtains.
Chen Shuyao leaned against the carriage wall, bored. Qiao Wei looked ahead with her eyes bent. After a moment, she came to her master and said, "That Concubine Zhuang seems to be talking to the Crown Prince."
Chen Shuyao: "Let me see!"
She parted the curtain and looked ahead, just in time to see Xiao Mo leaving Concubine Zhuang's gorgeous carriage.
At this time, Liu Lingzhen also turned around, and their eyes met. Shen Shuyao saw the other party curl up the corners of his lips and smile.
When Qiao Wei saw her master frowning and remaining silent, she felt a little regretful for having told this matter.
"Miss! Are you afraid of the prince..." Qiao Wei said worriedly.
Shen Shuyao glanced at her and said, "What are you thinking about? The other party is a concubine."
Although she didn't have a deep relationship with Xiao Mo, she wouldn't be suspicious of him for no reason because of such things.
But the woman was obviously well prepared, and now she was the emperor's concubine. Shen Shuyao didn't know what kind of unexpected situation she would face next.
She is the wife of the Crown Prince of Chengguo Mansion and is also on the Xiao family's ship.
This was destined when she agreed to marry Xiao Mo.
She couldn't escape. Doing things for the Xiao family was also doing things for herself.
In the carriage in front, Liu Lingzhen withdrew her gaze and then sat down with a thud. She had just called the commander of the imperial guards over in the name of Concubine Zhuang, intending to test him.
But he did come, but with a cold and handsome face he said: "Your Majesty should be clear about your identity, so don't mess around."
Her identity, what is her identity?
When Liu Lingzhen thought about the years she had been carefully nurtured by her master, she couldn't help but shudder.
She was originally an orphan without parents, but was later trained as a skinny horse because of her outstanding beauty.
In addition to teaching the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which only ladies from wealthy families could learn, that place also taught people how to dance and sing little songs.
Liu Lingzhen knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but she liked the white flour buns that she had at every meal, so she had to study hard to find out what else she could learn, and finally chose dancing.
She has a slender waist like a water snake, and when she sways her waist, she is very lively and attractive.
Later, Liu Lingzhen not only had endless white flour buns to eat, but also had three meals a day with four dishes and one soup.
A woman like her was originally of the age to receive clients, but was picked away because of her looks.
Some people said that she looked like Liu Qichuan's youngest daughter, but unfortunately that daughter died young, so she became the lady of the Liu family for a period of time.
Who would have thought that the young lady was sent to Yunxiu Villa not long after she started working.
