Chapter 44 He Wants to Marry Her
The criminal has signed and sealed the case, and the mastermind behind the scenes is Zhou Yi, the only son of the General of the Central Army of the Jinwu Guard.
Ye Er is a very mean person. He either cheats Zhou Yi and makes him lose everything, or he competes with Zhou Yi for the most beautiful girl. Last year, Zhou Yi could have been arranged by his family to join the Captain's Camp for training, but Ye Er ruined it.
Zhou Yi held a grudge and when he heard that Ye Er was expelled from Hanjing, he hired someone to disguise himself as a robber and kill someone to vent his hatred.
Zhou Yi paid the killers a large sum of money to let them escape after the mission was accomplished, but the killers were too confident and refused to leave. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyuan quickly found clues and tracked them down.
Fearing that the matter would be exposed, those people took the initiative to kill Shen Qingyuan.
Zhou Yi was a playboy who gave up everything as soon as he was arrested and taken to the Jingzhao government office, which was consistent with the killer's confession.
All the witnesses and evidence have been found, and Wei Lingze asking Shen Qingyuan to identify the person is just a formality.
According to the procedure, Shen Qingyuan and Chunxi each recorded a confession and signed it.
After doing all this, Wei Lingze personally saw the two off.
As soon as he walked out of the dungeon, Wei Lingze suddenly sneered: "For the past three years, this woman has been cleaning my body and taking care of my excrement and urine every day. Doesn't Lord Shen feel disgusted when he holds her hand?"
Listen, is this what a human being says?
Young Master, it’s you who’s shitting my pants, and I don’t feel disgusted at all, but you’re disgusted by it?
If the Wei family wasn't rich and powerful, haha, no one would care if you had sores, maggots, and a rotting bed!
Chunxi cursed Wei Lingze in her heart, but her eyebrows were slightly lowered and she didn't show it at all.
Shen Qingyuan's expression was even calmer. He deliberately grabbed Chunxi's hand and raised it high so that Wei Lingze could see it more clearly. "Master Wei, you don't even find it disgusting that you're spewing shit. What's so disgusting about these things?"
"Shen Qingyuan!"
Wei Lingze's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and called out Shen Qingyuan's name.
Shen Qingyuan was not afraid. He just pulled Chunxi to his side and shielded her tightly: "Be careful not to get sprayed."
Chunxi nodded and cooperated by covering his lips and nose with his sleeves, frowning slightly, as if he really smelled the stench of shit.
Wei Lingze clenched his fists so tightly that his bones were crackling.
He really wanted to kill Shen Qingyuan immediately and then step on Chunxi to make her cry and beg for mercy, but in the end he did nothing and just watched the two of them leave with a grim look in his eyes.
After the carriage had driven some distance, Chunxi finally burst out laughing. She gave Shen Qingyuan a thumbs-up and said, "Your Excellency is truly amazing."
Just one sentence almost made Wei Lingze angry to death.
Chunxi's eyes curved and she smiled brightly. Shen Qingyuan couldn't help asking, "Aren't you sad when he said that to you?"
"What's there to be sad about?" Chunxi said unconcernedly, "After all, I'll be his elder soon, so I'll naturally be more open-minded."
Shen Qingyuan said he would not divorce her, so she can suppress Wei Lingze in terms of seniority for the rest of her life!
Infected by Chunxi's emotions, Shen Qingyuan curled his lips and said, "I have a bad temper, so you don't have to be too broad-minded. If he speaks disrespectfully to you again in the future, you, as an elder, can teach him some manners."
Shen Qingyuan's tone was calm, but it gave Chunxi full confidence.
As long as she married him, she wouldn't have to endure Wei Lingze's anger anymore.
Chunxi's eyes lit up and she nodded continuously.
If she had known this earlier, she would have agreed to Lord Shen sooner. Maybe she would have slapped her future nephew-in-law as an elder.
After spending some time in Jingzhao Prefecture, it was already evening when Chunxi returned to the Xiao family. She followed Shen Qingyuan directly to Songheyuan to meet Old Madam Xiao.
Old Madam Xiao immediately asked the kitchen to add a few dishes that Shen Qingyuan liked, and asked about Chunxi's family situation in a gentle and loving manner. When she learned that Chunxi's sister-in-law had given birth to a son, she immediately asked someone to get a jade pendant with a ruyi pattern from the warehouse.
After Chunxi finished thanking her, Old Lady Xiao looked at Shen Qingyuan and said, "Your stepmother has had people spread a lot of rumors. Have you heard anything?"
After threatening Wang, Mrs. Mo felt that it was not enough, so she had someone spread the word that Shen Qingyuan was rescued by a girl, and the two of them spent several days and nights together, and many intimate things happened.
Some said that the girl fed the medicine to Shen Qingyuan mouth-to-mouth, some said that the girl used her body to help Shen Qingyuan keep warm and reduce his fever. What's more, some said that the killer's sword was smeared with that kind of medicine. If the girl had not volunteered to be the antidote, Shen Qingyuan would have exploded and died long ago.
Although these rumors did not mention Chunxi's name directly, people close to Chunxi could tell that Chunxi's reputation was completely ruined.
Chunxi was sitting next to them. Old Madam Xiao did not ask anyone to repeat the rumors, but only asked Shen Qingyuan what he wanted to do.
"I've heard these rumors. Her reputation was ruined because of me, so I naturally have to take responsibility for her." Shen Qingyuan paused, grabbed Chunxi's hand and said, "I will marry Cao Chunxi."
Shen Qingyuan said Chunxi's full name in a serious tone.
Although the two had already discussed it privately, Chunxi's heart still skipped a beat when she heard Shen Qingyuan say this in front of Old Madam Xiao.
Dad, my daughter has really made it this time!
Old Madam Xiao looked surprised.
She had already noticed that Shen Qingyuan treated Chunxi differently from others, but Chunxi's status was really low, and she had taken care of Wei Lingze for three years. It would be fine if Shen Qingyuan just took her as a concubine, but if he married her as a second wife, she would inevitably meet Wei Lingze and Xiao Qinghe when attending banquets in the future, which would cause trouble.
Madam Xiao wanted to dissuade him, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Shen Qingyuan say, "If it weren't for her, I would have died in Yu County. In this life, I will never allow another woman to sleep with me except her. Besides, my mother is also happy to see this marriage happen, so my aunt doesn't have to worry about it."
When Shen Qingyuan mentioned the matter of Yu County, Mrs. Xiao was unable to say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
The manhunt in Yu County might have been the work of Wei Lingze, but Old Madam Xiao had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, so she protected Wei Lingze. Shen Qingyuan's calling her aunt clarified her relationship with Old Madam Xiao.
Madam Xiao nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, then do as you wish."
That night, Old Madam Xiao had someone open her private vault and take out a lot of valuable jewelry for Chunxi to add to her makeup.
Xiao Qingyue got the news quickly and ran to share it with Xiao Qinghe immediately.
"Uncle Shen actually wants to marry Chunxi as his second wife, and my grandmother even opened a private storehouse to buy her dowry. If we meet again in the future, won't Chunxi still suppress us?"
Whenever Xiao Qingyue thought about having to bow properly and call Chunxi "little aunt" when she saw her in the future, she felt that her life was over.
Did Uncle Shen lose his mind? Even if he has a bad reputation for being a wife-killer, he shouldn't like someone like Chunxi.
Xiao Qinghe was also a little surprised, but he quickly accepted it and even felt secretly relieved.
If Chunxi really gets married and has the pressure of seniority, Weilang probably won't have any contact with her in the future.
