Shen Qing brought the chess piece closer and smelled it. There was indeed a fragrance, which seemed to be inhaled directly into the lungs through the nasal cavity.
"Ahem," she frowned and coughed lightly.
"Miss, do we still need to queue up to buy the chessboard?"
"No need." Shen Qing shook his head and threw the chess piece back casually, "It's nothing special."
"yes."
Shen Qing stared at the chess pieces in the box. She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable. She closed the box and casually placed it on the shelf next to the stone table.
Just as he put it down, he heard footsteps. Shen Qing stood up and looked over. It was Cheng Xue.
What a rare guest.
Ever since the Shen Jing incident was settled, Cheng Xue has not come to her yard again. Why did she come today?
She leaned on the railing and watched Cheng Xue and a few others aggressively push open the door of Wangyuexuan.
"Chen Qing."
"Mother's attitude really scares me." Shen Qing played with a strand of hair on the side of her body and spoke in a casual tone.
Cheng Xue frowned slightly and looked up at her, "Where is your upbringing? Are you so rude to your mother?"
"Hmm, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was an enemy seeking revenge." Shen Qing smiled faintly, "You look like you're going to tear down my yard."
"Miss, why don't you come down first." Qiu Lu glanced at Shen Qing anxiously.
Don't make her angry anymore!
How come a mother and daughter who were so close to each other now act like enemies?
Shen Qing brushed her sleeves and went down the stairs and came to Cheng Xue.
"Mother, what do you want?"
"You're not young anymore, it's time to talk about marriage. The second son of the Qin family is a good choice. The Qin family is also a famous and prestigious family with a distinguished family background. They are also well-known in this city. If you marry him, you will definitely live a life of luxury and you won't be wronged in the slightest."
"I won't marry." Shen Qing opened his thin lips and uttered two words without hesitation.
"It's your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Marriage is not your decision." Cheng Xue said with a cold face.
She didn't believe it, she couldn't discipline Shen Qing!
"Everyone who has participated in the winter hunt knows that I, Ms. Shen, adore Mr. Jiang. Now, not long ago, she is about to marry someone else.
By then, everyone in the capital will be poking my back and saying something. Madam Shen, your adopted daughter is ruined, so do you want your biological daughter to suffer as well?
Madam Shen, you are truly cruel."
For a moment, Shen Qing felt that Cheng Xue was crazy.
She was too controlled by this world.
"Let me guess, what benefit did Qin Wanming promise you..."
A trace of panic flashed in Cheng Xue's eyes.
Shen Qing paced casually, looking up slightly at the plum tree in the courtyard, "Did he promise you that if you marry me to him, he would help Shen Jing become the Crown Princess?"
Cheng Xue's pupils shrank and her face turned pale.
"Mrs. Shen, wake up!"
"The fact that Murong Zhi was able to save Shen Jing's life has already led to the current situation. How could he allow Shen Jing, a person without status or background, to sit on the throne of the Crown Princess?"
"Qin Wanming is just the second son of the Qin family without an official position. How could he possibly get his hands on the Eastern Palace?"
"I don't care! I just want my Jing'er to live a better life!" Cheng Xue shouted at Shen Qing, "Do you know how many letters Jing'er wrote to me? She begged me to help her..."
Shen Qing looked at Cheng Xue coldly, without a ripple in her heart. She took a deep breath and looked at Qiu Lu behind Cheng Xue.
"You guys go down first. I want to talk to my wife alone."
Qiu Lu pursed her lips, and seeing that Cheng Xue did not stop her, she led her men out of the courtyard.
“You yourself are not sure whether Qin Wanming can really help Shen Jing, right?”
Cheng Xue was silent.
"So, you still want to use me to exchange for an uncertain ending?"
Shen Qing's expression was complicated.
"Qingqing, I beg you!" Cheng Xue wiped her tears and held Shen Qing's hand. "Please save Jing'er. You just married into the Qin family. You have nothing to lose!"
Cheng Xue was also very conflicted at first, but Qin Wanming said that this would not only help Shen Jing, but also keep Shen Qing away from the royal disputes. This was a good way for her to have the best of both worlds!
"You're not marrying off your daughter, you're clearly selling me to Qin Wanming!"
"Since you are my child, what if I sell you?!" Cheng Xue was almost crazy, "I have no choice! Chen Qing, if you don't agree, I will... die in front of you!"
Cheng Xue took out a dagger from her sleeve and put it on her neck, trying to threaten Shen Qing.
But Shen Qing would never indulge her. Before Cheng Xue was ready, Shen Qing raised his hand and snatched the dagger from her hand. He threw it casually, and the dagger was firmly stuck in the tree trunk, shaking off the plum petals all over the ground.
The picture is beautiful, but no one appreciates it.
"You are my biological mother, so I am still a little tolerant of you." Shen Qing's tone was even colder than the cold weather in December. "But if you try to hit me again, I will kill Shen Jing first to vent my anger!"
“Shen Qing, how dare you!”
"She is your daughter, not mine. Why should I not dare?"
"Crazy, you're crazy..." Cheng Xue looked at Shen Qing in fear, muttering to herself, and then turned and left Wangyuexuan.
"She's the person closest to the heroine, so she's too heavily controlled by the plot." Point Seven also looked at Cheng Xue and sighed, "You don't have to treat her as a mother."
This way, you won’t be sad.
"She wasn't my mother."
Shen Qing spoke calmly, walked slowly to the plum tree, and pulled out the dagger.
Not yet sharpened.
Obviously, Cheng Xue was certain that Shen Qing would obey her in order to protect her.
