Chapter 365 Can You Trust Me a Little More?
Chen Rujin stared at Chen Shuyang blankly and asked, "Why?"
"Didn't you go to the Third Prince's mansion for a banquet today? Don't you know what happened?" Chen Shuyang asked.
Chen Rujin twitched the corner of his mouth: "I left early."
Cao Bingbing called her aside and threatened and slapped her. She was told to stay unless she was crazy.
Chen Shuyang was stunned: "Why?"
"Brother, I asked you first." Chen Ruijin didn't want to explain the reason, it was too embarrassing.
Chen Shuyang glanced at his sister helplessly and told her about the Second Imperial Concubine's miscarriage.
When Chen Rujin heard that the third imperial concubine had come to the palace to plead guilty and was punished, she immediately gloated over the misfortune: "It's what she deserves!"
"What did you say?" Chen Shuyang didn't hear clearly, so he asked.
Chen Ruijin shook her head: "Nothing."
Chen Shuyang felt that his sister was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong: "Then why did you leave early again?"
Chen Rujin blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "It's boring, so I came back. Brother, since the Third Prince can't come out, take me to find him."
"Don't even think about it." Chen Shuyang's face suddenly turned dark.
Maybe they have spoiled this girl too much, causing her to become so lawless.
"I will pretend to be your servant and will never be discovered." Chen Ruijin said, hugging Chen Shuyang's arm.
"If you want to piss off dad to death, just say it." Chen Shuyang gritted his teeth in anger.
Chen Rujin stuck out her tongue guiltily, hesitated for a moment and continued to act coquettishly: "Aren't you all worried that I will be wronged as a concubine, so I went to sign an agreement with the third prince in advance. If he can agree to my request, it means that he is serious about me, and my parents can rest assured, right?"
"Who gave you the courage to go to the Third Prince to sign an agreement?" Chen Shuyang took a breath and felt that his sister might have gone crazy.
Chen Rujin looked at her eldest brother innocently: "Didn't the Third Prince say he liked me? Since he wants to marry me, can't he agree to a few of my requests? If he doesn't even have this much sincerity, then I won't marry him. Isn't that exactly what you want?"
Chen Shuyang: “…”
It seems to make sense.
If I can put my sister's mind at ease, it's not impossible to go.
"Are you sure you're just going to make a few requests to the Third Prince and not cause any trouble?" Chen Shuyang looked at Chen Ruijin with suspicion.
Chen Rujin's face sank: "Brother, can we still have some trust between brothers and sisters?"
"I do want to, but I'm more afraid that your lawlessness will anger the third prince and our whole family will suffer." Chen Shuyang said expressionlessly.
"You will just watch me tomorrow."
"What if I don't agree?" Chen Shuyang said.
Chen Rujin thought about it seriously and said, "Then I will find a way to enter the Third Prince's Palace myself."
Chen Shuyang: “…”
You are cruel.
After Chen Hanlin was driven away by his daughter, Chen Shuyang was also driven away by his daughter.
Chen Ruijin touched his nose awkwardly and returned to his own yard.
Her maid couldn't help but say, "Miss, since the Third Prince is not convenient to leave the palace, why don't we go to see him again in three months? During this time, you can also think clearly about whether you really want to marry him."
A few days ago, the young lady complained to herself that the third prince was still haunting her. If she wasn't afraid of causing trouble, she would have wanted to find a sack to put him in and beat him up.
But today, because of the ridicule and slap from the Third Imperial Concubine, the young lady suddenly got angry and wanted to get married.
Who would believe it if I told them?
But it was exactly what her young lady did.
The maid was in tears and wanted to have a good talk with the master and the others, but the young lady wouldn't allow it. She had the intention but not the courage to do it.
"You don't understand. We have to strike while the iron is hot. What if I suddenly fall in love with someone in these three months? I definitely won't want to marry Chu Qingyun and deal with Cao Bingbing again." Chen Ruijin looked at her maid and said righteously.
The maid looked horrified as if struck by lightning: "..."
Is this how you strike while the iron is hot?
And my master, are you just in a hurry to meet the third prince because you are afraid that you might change your mind and not want to marry him, so as to make sure whether he really wants to marry you?
Following a master whose thinking patterns were different from those of ordinary people, the maid felt that her life as a slave was very difficult.
The next day, Chen Shuyang resigned from his duty at the Hanlin Academy early and went to the Third Prince's Mansion with Chen Ruijin, who was in disguise.
The emperor banned the third prince from traveling, but did not forbid anyone from visiting him.
They were waiting in the gatehouse, and the servants went to inform them.
Chu Qingyun was bored, so he called a few concubines to play the piano and dance for him. The faint sound of the music could be heard, and Chen Shuyang frowned so hard that he could pinch a fly to death.
They sing and dance in broad daylight and have absolutely no ambition to make progress.
On the other hand, Chen Ruijin, who was standing by, was listening with great interest, commenting from time to time.
"Who did you say is here?" Chu Qingyun was lying on a reclining chair, intoxicated. He didn't hear clearly the servant's report, so he asked again in a good temper.
"Your Highness, it's the eldest master of the Chen family, Chen Shijiang." The servant replied loudly again.
There are many young masters of the Chen family in the capital, but there is only one Minister Chen... in the capital.
He had tacitly agreed to be his future brother-in-law.
Chu Qingyun jumped up from his chair with a start: "Stop, stop, stop, stop playing, stop jumping, go back to where you should go."
He waved his hands as if he was herding ducks.
"Your Highness." How could the concubines easily let go of this hard-won opportunity to spend time with the Third Prince? They twisted their waists, pinched their necks, and acted coquettishly.
Chu Qingyun got goose bumps all over his body.
"Shut up. If you say another word, I'll kick you out of the house."
Chu Qingyun shouted with a cold face, and the few people bowed and left in panic.
"Please ask Master Chen to go to the study." Chu Qingyun straightened his collar and said to the servant.
The servant looked suspiciously at his master who suddenly became nervous, then turned and left.
Chen Shuyang, with the servant pretending to be Chen Rujin, followed the servants to the study room and unexpectedly saw Chu Qingyun's concubines, who were holding zithers or flutes and slowly walking towards the backyard. Chen Shuyang's face was extremely dark.
"Master Chen, please come in." The servant stood at the door of the study and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Shuyang.
Chen Shuyang raised his hand and rubbed his face, trying to make himself look gentle and respectful, then he took Chen Ruijin into the study.
"Your humble servant greets His Highness the Third Prince. May Your Highness be blessed." Chen Shuyang bowed and said.
Chen Ruijin stood behind Chen Shuyang and clasped his fists towards Chu Qingyun awkwardly.
She kept her head down since she entered the room. Chu Qingyun was busy building relationships with his elder brother-in-law and didn't notice her.
"Young Master Chen, please don't be so polite." As he said this, he personally helped Chen Shuyang up.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Sit down. Lord Chen, you've come to visit unexpectedly. Is there something you want?" Chu Qingyun said with a smile.
Chen Shuyang glanced at the servants in the room with a troubled look, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Chu Qingyun understood and immediately asked everyone to leave, then closed the study door.
However, seeing that the servant brought by Chen Shuyang had no intention of leaving, Chu Qingyun wanted to ask, but thinking of the other party's identity as his future brother-in-law, he endured it.
