The people around had no intention of dodging. Instead, they stood aside, gazing into the distance with excitement on their faces.
Ning Yu was a little confused and asked, "Excuse me, Auntie, what happened?"
The old lady was quite enthusiastic. "Miss, you look like an outsider. This is the prince of the Marquis of Changping who has returned from a victorious battle! I heard that things are very chaotic out there, even the capital is in turmoil. Only Shu is considered safe, thanks to our God of War Marquis..."
The following part is full of praise for Shen Zongyu, praising him to the utmost.
Ning Yu thought of Shen Zongyu's final outcome, being despised by the whole world, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic in his heart. He shouldn't have ended up like this.
After thinking about it, I decided to find an opportunity to remind him.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached. Shen Si rode in the middle like a star surrounded by the moon, wearing black armor, his eyebrows and eyes full of dignity and pride.
The surrounding area was filled with cheers from the people.
Chen Si's eyes darted around and he suddenly noticed a pretty and slim figure in the crowd. It was his son's wet nurse, Ning Yu.
Did you take a special leave to come and see him?
Sure enough, my refusal to be his maid last time was just a way of playing hard to get.
After Chen Si returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he first took off his armor, changed into casual clothes and went to Jingtao Pavilion.
\"Father.\"
Shen Si raised his hand respectfully.
Shen Zongyu put his hands behind his back and looked out the window. His eyes were distant, and contained emotions of varying depths.
He was tall and straight, and the aura he exuded was extremely sharp, as if a mountain was pressing down in front of Shen Si.
The original arrogance in Shen Si's heart was immediately shattered, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. When will he become the one in charge of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion?
Shen Zongyu turned around, his mind reminiscing about when he had just brought Shen Si back to the mansion. The child was only as tall as his waist. His tone was filled with nostalgia. "I remember you were only a teenager when I adopted you. You were always reluctant to leave your parents..."
Shen Si's eyes flashed. Was his father warning him that he was just an adopted child?
Chen Si suppressed the emotions that were constantly churning in his heart and tried to keep his expression calm. Thinking of the graceful figure he saw on the street, he couldn't help but feel fascinated.
This is a good opportunity to tell my father about this.
Since he has made a contribution this time, his father should allow him to take a wet nurse as a concubine.
Chen Si raised his hand, his tone pleading, "Father, I want to ask you a favor."
It was rare for Shen Zongyu to see Shen Si asking him for help, so as long as it was not a criminal matter, he would agree.
At this moment, a slender figure appeared outside the door, and her voice was as clear as water. "My Lord, the tea is ready."
Shen Si was slightly stunned, and felt vaguely familiar.
\"Come in.\"
The door was slowly pushed open, and Ning Yu walked in holding a cup of tea. Her profile was delicate and bright, her lotus steps were light, and her skirt was charming.
Ning Yu?
How did she get into her father's study?
Chen Si's eyes were filled with astonishment, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Father, isn't this Jing'er's wet nurse?"
Shen Zongyu glanced at the young nurse from the corner of his eye, his expression calm. "I am ill, and this nurse is the one who can cure my illness, so I have transferred her to be my personal maid."
Ning Yu secretly rolled her eyes. This was the first time she heard someone talk about curing an illness so openly.
How shameless.
Chen Si was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern, "I didn't know you were sick, are you okay now?"
Shen Zongyu nodded slowly. "It's working."
Shen Zongyu frowned slightly. He didn't like Chen Si asking questions about the wet nurse. After thinking about it, he let her go.
Chen Si felt a little lost.
Shen Zongyu changed the subject and said, "Didn't you just say you had something to ask me? What is it?"
Chen Si bowed, "My son wants to ask for someone from your side, and that is your personal maid Ning Yu."
When Shen Zongyu heard Ning Yu's name, the veins on his forehead jumped.
A huge rage surged in his heart, and a strong sense of hostility appeared in his eyes. His face was extremely cold and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
Shen Zongyu scolded coldly, "Evil son!"
When Shen Si heard Shen Zongyu's scolding, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, thinking that he was angry because he had taken a fancy to the wet nurse who used to be with his son Jing'er.
After all, this matter does sound a bit dishonest.
But thinking of Ning Yu's enchanting face and sparkling eyes, Shen Si suddenly felt a lot of courage in his heart, "Father, my son and Madam Ning are truly in love. I beg you to grant us your blessing."
She even went out of the house to see him return to the city in person, so she must have feelings for him.
When Shen Zongyu heard the words "true love", his dark eyes were extremely captivating, as if they contained a sharp cold knife, extremely fierce, and the aura around him became increasingly cold.
He just uttered three words coldly, "Get out."
Shen Si gritted his teeth and had to retreat.
Wei Cheng was standing outside the study door, hearing everything clearly. He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. "How dare the prince! He dares to ask for my woman!"
Then, a cold voice came, "Wei Cheng, inform everyone to cancel the celebration party."
Wei Cheng quickly conveyed the Marquis's order.
By the time the news reached Shi'an Garden, Yuan Xian had already finished her confinement. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry was on her face. "The Crown Prince just went to his father-in-law's study. Why would the celebration be cancelled? What happened?"
Nanny Yuan shook her head and sighed, "Jingtao Pavilion has always been heavily guarded, and it's been difficult for our people to get any information."
At this time, Shen Si strode in, his brows full of dissatisfaction, and sipped his tea sullenly, "I just asked my father for someone, why did you cancel my celebration party?!"
This celebration party is extremely important to him, as it will allow him to firmly establish his position as the Crown Prince. Now that his father has suddenly cancelled it, won't this cause the people below to make wild guesses?
Yuan Xian immediately caught the key words and couldn't help but curl up a mocking smile, "You want someone? Who do you like now?"
She was punished by her father-in-law to be confined, and her finger joints became thicker from copying Buddhist scriptures. In order not to worry the prince, she deliberately did not tell him.
But now that her husband has returned, the first thing he does is to ask his father-in-law for a woman?
How ridiculous!
How ironic!
Seeing the sarcastic smile on Yuan Xian's face, Chen Si felt a little guilty, but still said, "It was the wet nurse beside Jing'er..."
When Yuan Xian heard this, the smile on her lips froze. She had not yet forgotten that her father-in-law punished her because of a wet nurse.
I didn’t expect that my husband also wanted that lowly wet nurse!
A hint of jealousy suddenly appeared in Yuan Xian's eyes, and her tone was full of harshness, "My Lord, don't you know that Lady Ning has been hooking up with the Marquis for a long time? A woman like this who uses her beauty to please a man will definitely be abandoned by her father-in-law..."
