"You don't have to worry about that." Shen asked with a smile on his face. "It's said that a dog trying to catch a rat is no good for meddling in other people's business. Since you are not Gu Yanwei's mother, why do you worry about him?"
Seeing that Shen Qingqiu had lost his temper, the others certainly couldn't say anything.
That night, Shen Qingqiu received a letter. Gu Yanwei went to read it and said, "It's from Lord Gu."
Shen Qingqiu smiled after unfolding it, "Dad said he has brought the troops back." His father has a strong army, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with the Eighth Prince's troops.
"Let's set off soon and return to Beijing." Shen Qingqiu said.
Gu Yanwei just said, "What's the point of the day? I think the moonlight tonight is very good."
Shen Qingqiu looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, what are you afraid of?"
Gu Yanwei touched his nose. Some time ago, Miss Zhang insisted on marrying him. Although Shen Qingqiu didn't say anything on the surface, he knew that she must be angry.
"Qingqiu, no matter what, you are the only one in my heart." Gu Yanwei said.
He said such words to himself under the moonlight. Shen Qingqiu could not get angry even if he was extremely angry. He just said: "Let's go."
In the current situation, it is certainly not appropriate to talk too much, so several people packed their luggage and hurriedly prepared to leave Yan State.
They walked all night and took the water route. When they saw land, they didn't know where they were going.
After landing, Gu Yanwei asked people to inquire about the origin of this place. However, Shen Qingqiu looked at the familiar plants and trees and waved his hand, "No need."
Several people looked at her, Shen Qingqiu smiled, "This is my hometown."
But it wasn't her hometown either. She had thought that after so much time had passed she had lost any memory of this place, but she didn't expect to remember everything as soon as she came back.
"Your family?" Gu Yanwei was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that before marrying Marquis Gu, Liu had a husband's family.
And Shen Qingqiu is not Marquis Gu's biological son.
"Forget it, let's take a rest first." Shen Qingqiu lowered her brows. Now that she had returned here by accident, she naturally had to avenge what the Song family had done to her before.
——
Shen Qinghe felt sore all over, and looked at the people in front of him in a daze, "Who are you and where are you taking me?"
"Where are you going? Of course, it's where you should go. You should never offend the Madam!"
Shen Qinghe then remembered that not long ago he had won the first place in the imperial examination, but his aunt's legitimate son had not achieved any fame... No wonder, it was also because he was too relaxed during that period of time because of his high school studies, otherwise how could he fall into the trap of the eldest lady! "Where are you taking me? I am an official appointed by the court!"
"You won't be one after today. I've never heard of the court letting a lowly innkeeper be an official!"
Shen Qinghe was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that they were going to send him to Nanfeng Pavilion. If this happened, not only would he not be able to become an official, he wouldn't even be able to stay in the local area anymore!
Shen Qinghe naturally struggled continuously, but as he was drugged, he was no match for the strength of the two maids.
Just when Shen Qinghe was in despair, the nanny in front of him suddenly fell to the ground, and then another nanny also fell down.
But a woman in black slowly came over. She squatted down. Shen Qinghe was stunned for a moment, "Qingqiu..." His sister who was so inexplicably successful. Shen Qingqiu stuffed a pill into Shen Qinghe's mouth.
Shen Qinghe was forced to eat it, and after a moment, he thanked him, "Thank you very much."
He was not an ungrateful person. He regained his strength after taking the medicine. Shen Qingqiu looked up at him, "You don't have to thank me. I saved you for a reason." Don't talk about blood ties. How can the Shen family have that? Shen Qinghe looked at her in confusion. He knew that Shen Qingqiu was now very successful. How could he care about their small Shen family? Shen Qingqiu only said, "My current status is not convenient, and it is not appropriate for me to return to the Shen family. It's just that the Song family bullied me and my mother in the past. This revenge must be avenged. I tell you clearly that I came to you to use you for revenge."
"Just listen to me, you can also get revenge, I will also give you a sum of money and let you go to the capital, it's up to you to do it or not."
Shen Qinghe barely thought about it, "Do it!"
The first branch of the Shen family has always been willing to compromise, but the second branch now thinks that he should be suppressed. The Song family actually did this to him. He is not a living Buddha. He knows what to do! Shen Qingqiu looked at him with praise and gave him some silver. "Go to the inn to change clothes first."
Shen Qinghe nodded.
Shen Qingqiu had limited time, so he only said to him: "The Song family wants you to fall into the mud now. They have asked their niece to come and cancel the engagement with you early the next morning to expose the fact that you have a homosexual tendency." Being homosexual is a crime nowadays, especially for those who have passed the imperial examination.
"You know what to do, right?" Shen Qingqiu looked at him.
Shen Qinghe lowered his head, and after a moment, he cupped his hands, "Sister Qiu, thank you for your kindness, I will definitely repay you in the future."
Shen Qingqiu only said: "There is no favor between us, and the Song family is also my enemy." After saying that, he left quickly.
Early the next morning, Shen Qinghe walked towards the Shen family. Before he arrived, he could see a lot of people circling around the gate from afar.
"Break off the engagement, we must break off the engagement today. Even if my Song family is not as good as your Shen family, we will never marry our daughter to a homosexual man!" A woman in green satin was standing at the door of the Shen family and shouting. This was Mrs. Yu from Song's natal family.
Already knowing Song's plan, Shen Qinghe rolled up his sleeves and watched with interest.
"Bah! You are the one who is dividing the peaches, but your whole family is dividing the peaches in short sleeves!" A middle-aged woman with a plump figure rushed out of the house. "If you say bad things about my son again, I will not only beat your pig mouth to pieces, but also strip your clothes!"
Shen Qinghe almost laughed out loud.
Perhaps frightened by the woman's words, Yu didn't dare to speak for a long time. Song Ruoxue, the legitimate daughter of the Bian family, had a good appearance, pure but not coquettish, and a temperament with a firmness that many women did not have. She was very attractive before she opened her mouth.
"Aunt, everyone saw my cousin going in and out of Nanfeng Pavilion yesterday. Although I, Song Ruoxue, am not from a wealthy family, I am not worried about getting married to this extent." She took off the hairpin on her head, "We are not worthy of each other. This was given to me by aunt on the day of engagement, and I am returning it to you now."
These words were neither humble nor arrogant, and they also killed Shen Qinghe's homosexuality.
Shen was holding the handkerchief, unable to breathe and almost dying of anger.
At this moment, a pair of hands patted her behind her. Shen turned her head and saw her son. She was immediately excited, "Qinghe, my son, they slandered you--"
"Cousin, since you are here, I will return the hairpin to you." Song Ruoxue said.
Shen Qinghe didn't go to take it, so she threw the hairpin to the ground and said in a clear voice, "I, Song Ruoxue, came into this world clean and pure, and I will never do anything to hide dirt for others."
Shen, who was so angry that she was half dead, wanted to jump up from her son's arms but was held down by Shen Qinghe. He turned his head to look at her, his thin lips slightly curled, "Yeah, you don't do anything to harbor dirty things." He lowered his head as if smiling, and after a moment his eyes fell on Song Ruoxue again, like a sharp sword. Song Ruoxue wanted to dodge uncomfortably, but she still raised her head to meet him.
Shen Qinghe didn't care about the gazes of the crowd. He picked up the hairpin on the ground and said, "Cousin, breaking off the engagement is not just a hairpin. You have to return the betrothal gifts my family sent to your house."
Song Ruoxue had never thought that a rich young man would still be so fussy at this occasion, which made her momentum disappear in an instant. She didn't say anything for a long time, and Shen Qinghe said, "Cousin, do you want to default on your debt?"
Song Ruoxue said unhappily: "I won't owe you this."
He smiled, "That's good," and then said to everyone, "I, Shen Qinghe, will only say here that I have always liked women in the past." He has been innocent all these years, so why would he go to such a place if he was not framed by someone? "Yesterday in Nanfeng Pavilion, I was also framed by someone."
Song Ruoxue curled her lips. Who would believe this? Shen Qinghe only said, "Who framed me? I didn't know at first. After all, who would frame a grown man to be a man of love? But today, when I saw my cousin rushing to break off the engagement with me, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have seen her and the son of the King of Jin in private not long ago, and their behavior was intimate-"
Song Ruoxue's expression changed drastically, and Yu said, "You are such a vicious man. You want to harm my daughter's reputation at this time. You, you are not a human being!"
"Bah, you stinky boy from the toilet, you slander my son, your unfaithful girl has the nerve to talk about us?" Shen jumped up first.
Shen Qinghe followed his mother's advice and said, "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, I just want everyone to be a witness. I will bear the responsibility of being a homosexual today. If one day, my cousin really has a connection with the Jin Wang family," Shen Qinghe said this, and then bowed to the people next to him, "Please give me some justice, after all, I also want to get married."
Explaining too much would only make others guess worse. Shen Qinghe simply took his mother back home and asked the servants to close the door, regardless of any suspicions from outsiders.
Song Ruoxue looked at the closed door of the Shen family with unfathomable eyes. She had already discussed today's matter with her aunt, but Shen Qinghe did not follow the plan. Damn it!
"Ruoxue?" Yu called her daughter worriedly.
"Let's go home first." She just hoped that what happened today would not affect her marriage with the Jin Wang family, otherwise she would let Shen Qinghe pay with his life. Thinking of this, a ruthless light flashed in Song Ruoxue's eyes.
At the same time, Shen Qinghe and Shen went back to the second room. When they arrived at the door and locked the room, Shen asked her son to take off his clothes.
Shen Qinghe readily followed suit. Mrs. Shen looked at the blue and purple marks on her son's body and said, "Oh my God, did that woman Song Ruoxue frame you?" She was so angry that she cried, but she was afraid that her son would get cold, so she quickly covered him with clothes.
"Yes." Shen Qinghe said.
"I'm going to chop that bastard into pieces!" Shen was not from a high-class family, so he started swearing when he got anxious.
Shen Qinghe stopped him, "Don't worry, she's going to be mad today, I've ruined such a good marriage for her." Shen Qinghe yawned, "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, I'm tired, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
The Song family might have some other ideas, so he had to conserve his energy.
"Okay, then you go to sleep first. Mom will call you for lunch at noon." Shen instantly forgot what she wanted to say. Anyway, what happened had already happened and it couldn't be undone now. She might as well eat and drink well.
