Chapter 50 Are you really ready?
There was no banquet at the Marquis' Mansion, so Shen Qingyuan took Chunxi to the ancestral hall to kowtow and that was the end of it.
When Shen Qingyuan lifted the veil, Chunxi was still a little bit incredulous: "Is that all? I don't have to kowtow to the Marquis and his wife?"
"No, he's at the farm with a vixen and hasn't gone home yet."
Shen Qingyuan spoke in a light tone, and naturally raised his hand to take off the silver hairpin on Chunxi's head.
Chunxi opened her mouth, still not used to Shen Qingyuan's frankness.
His son is getting married, but his father doesn't even show up for the sake of a vixen. How can he say such things to her, a newcomer?
Seeing what Chunxi was thinking, Shen Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Don't want to listen?"
"Of course I want to listen, but can I really listen to these secrets?"
Besides, who doesn’t spend their wedding night busy with gossip?
"You are already my wife. You can know everything about me."
Shen Qingyuan gave an affirmative answer, and Chunxi immediately said, "That sounds a bit dry. How about some wine and food?"
Since the adults don't treat her as an outsider, she can't be shy about it.
Wearing her wedding gown and having done her makeup, Chunxi was very quiet along the way. Shen Qingyuan thought that she would change because of her different status, but a smile appeared in his eyes when he heard this.
This was still the Chunxi he knew.
Although there was no need to host a banquet, Shen Qingyuan still asked Qingshu to order a table of wine and food from Zhaixing Tower, and the food was delivered quickly.
Chunxi hadn't eaten anything in the morning and was now starving. When Shen Qingyuan started eating, she quickly followed suit. After just two bites, she heard Shen Qingyuan say, "I'm the son of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, and the late Madam Qingyuan is my aunt."
“…”
Chunxi's hand trembled as he picked up the food, and the chopsticks almost fell.
Are you going to tell us such important news without any preparation?
Shen Qingyuan wasn't a good storyteller, but Chunxi was a good listener. She quickly suppressed her surprise and asked cooperatively, "Why did they send the master to the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Marquis Qingyuan was born in poverty. After being granted a title, he made many military achievements. There was no further promotion for him, so he could only be granted a marriage. The aristocratic and powerful families knew that he would not be reused once the war ended, so they were all unwilling to do so. Marquis Qingyuan also had high standards. He took a fancy to my aunt at a banquet and asked for her hand in marriage on the grounds of his military achievements..."
Although the royal family looked down on Marquis Qingyuan, the war was still going on at that time and they had to rely on Marquis Qingyuan to stabilize the morale of the army. Marquis Qingyuan asked for marriage based on his military achievements, and there was no reason for His Majesty to refuse, and the Xiao family could not disobey the order.
The late emperor agreed to grant the marriage, and the two soon became husband and wife.
However, the Marquis of Qingyuan was nothing but a crude warrior with endless bad habits, and his family members who came to him for refuge were a group of unreasonable barbarians.
This marriage made Xiao feel like she was in purgatory. Not long after the marriage, she secretly took the sterilization soup.
Since Marquis Qingyuan was able to win so many battles, he naturally knew that his legitimate son must be born to the Xiao family in order to borrow the power of the Xiao family. After being married for many years without having a child, Marquis Qingyuan finally discovered the truth.
He was furious, but he could not do anything to the Xiao family. He could only force the Xiao family to find a way to compensate him, otherwise he would report it to the emperor, saying that the Xiao family was submissive on the surface but actually had evil intentions.
Everyone knew that this was nonsense, but the late emperor was old and suspicious at the time. The Xiao family also had a daughter who was the prince's concubine in the Eastern Palace. The Xiao family did not dare to take the risk and could only send the newborn Shen Qingyuan to the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
However, Shen Qingyuan's arrival could not prevent Qingyuan Hou from being defeated.
The war subsided and the world was at peace. The military power in the hands of Qingyuan Hou was soon taken away. He was no longer able to be reused and began to change from a great hero praised by everyone to a crude warrior with only brute force. He tried to find a way to remedy the situation, but was powerless.
Mo's plan at this time dealt him a fatal blow.
The two were discovered rolling on the bed in public during the birthday party of the old lady of the Mo family. The depressed Xiao died after hearing the news. The Marquis of Qingyuan went from being a hero to an ungrateful, greedy and lustful scoundrel.
Although Mrs. Mo married into the Marquis's mansion as his second wife as she wished, Marquis Qingyuan beat and scolded her. After Mo completely gave up hope, she gave two beauties to Marquis Qingyuan. From then on, Marquis Qingyuan became addicted to alcohol and sex and no longer cared about other things.
Mo had coveted the throne of the crown prince for a long time. In order to accuse Shen Qingyuan of being a wife-killer, she first married Shen Qingyuan to the second daughter of the Minister of Rites, who was of noble status but born with defects. Later, while Shen Qingyuan was solving a case in Yizhou, she married him to her niece from her mother's family.
Shen Qingyuan wasn't even in Hanjing on the wedding day.
After the wedding, Mrs. Mo asked her niece to go to Yizhou to find Shen Qingyuan. However, she encountered robbers on the way and died.
Shen Qingyuan told Chunxi the secrets of the Marquis' Mansion for most of the night. Although Chunxi listened with great interest, she couldn't help feeling sleepy.
When she turned off the lights and went to bed, she vaguely felt as if she had forgotten something, but she was so sleepy that she fell into a deep sleep before she could remember.
Shen Qingyuan got up early the next morning.
Chunxi yawned and opened her eyes, and saw Shen Qingyuan carrying her on his back and dressing her.
Chunxi had seen his body before when she helped him bandage his wound, but the situation was urgent at that time and she had no time to think about anything else.
Looking at it now, I realized that this body has distinct muscles and is strong and powerful.
Wang's instructions before getting married echoed in Chunxi's mind, and she finally remembered what she had forgotten last night.
She forgot to consummate her marriage with the Master!!!
Chunxi regained consciousness and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Then came Jia Ma's voice: "Master, Madam, are you awake? Madam sent me to get something."
As a newlywed, Mrs. Mo naturally asked Aunt Jia to pick up the Yuanpa.
Chunxi was a little panicked and didn't know how to explain, when she saw Shen Qingyuan calmly take out a handkerchief from under the pillow and hand it to Aunt Jia.
After Nanny Jia left, Chunxi whispered, "Why would Your Excellency prepare something like this in advance? Although I have been taking care of Young Master Wei for three years, I have never overstepped the boundaries..."
After all, Chunxi was a virgin, and her ears turned a little red. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Shen Qingyuan's eyes.
Before she finished speaking, Shen Qingyuan's large palm landed on her head and rubbed it gently.
"I know you're innocent, but there's an age gap between us. I have to give you some time to adjust."
"Why would I need to adapt to this? Since I've agreed to marry you, my Lord, I've already made all the necessary preparations."
Chunxi blurted out, and the big palm on her head paused, then slid down and grabbed the back of her head.
Before she could react, a hand came across her waist, exerting force up and down, pulling her whole body into Shen Qingyuan's broad chest.
The next moment, Shen Qingyuan lowered his head and moved closer, his noses almost touching Chunxi's, and their lips touching.
It was already daybreak, the windows were open, and the room was brightly lit.
Shen Qingyuan's breath sprayed all over Chunxi's face.
As hot as molten copper and iron.
At this time, Shen Qingyuan no longer had the righteousness that made Chunxi feel at ease. His eyes were dark, like a hungry wolf.
Chunxi unconsciously held her breath, her palms sweating. Then she heard Shen Qingyuan's smiling voice: "Have you thought about it? Are you really ready?"
“…”
Sorry, sir, I just boasted!
