Chapter 167 The Jealous King
The two of them had already torn their faces apart, so when Chen Yan came to visit her, it was naturally impossible for her to reminisce about the past.
Shen Yan sat back slowly, "I'm going to take my mother away from the capital."
Shen Yu was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Shen Yan continued, "Don't think I'm up to something again. I just want to stay alive."
She said sarcastically, "Master Shi has risen rapidly in the world. The higher he flies, the faster he will fall. If you do this, sooner or later everyone in the Shen family will be implicated. What else can I do if I don't run away?"
"Shen family?" Shen Yu asked back, "Apart from me, are there other people in the Shen family?"
Chen Yan said: "Whether you recognize it or not, my mother is the wife my father married in a formal ceremony, and I am the legitimate daughter."
"Then go to the underworld and see if your father recognizes you."
These words were harsh, and Shen Yan stood up angrily, "Don't go too far."
Chen Yu sneered, "You came to me today, are you here to say goodbye, or to make yourself look bad?"
"I want to sell the Shen residence." Shen Yan said.
Shen Yu's eyes fixed.
“I guess you already know why I came to you. You don’t want to let the Shen Mansion fall into the hands of others, and you can afford the price.”
Chen Yu did not respond to the question, but asked, "Did you go to visit your father's grave?"
She saw the pot of Ruoxiachun in front of the grave and guessed it was Chen Yan.
Shen Yan's eyes moved and she turned away, "You won't even control my going to the grave, will you, Master Shi?"
"I want the Shen Mansion, name your price." Shen Yu said.
Shen Yan didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and said, "Thirty thousand taels, this price is a drop in the bucket for you."
"Cow hair is not given randomly."
Shen Yan was anxious, "If we put it on the market to sell, the Shen residence will sell for 40,000 taels."
Chen Yu leaned forward with her elbow on the armrest, "You also said that it can be sold for 40,000 taels on the market. Don't forget that I have a share in the Chen Mansion. I won't give you even one more tael of silver than 20,000 taels. If you dare to sell it to others, you can give it a try. I can do anything."
Chen Yan only felt that her aura was overwhelming. She gritted her teeth and remained silent for a long while, her nails leaving marks on her palms.
"Tomorrow." She gritted her teeth and said, "Bring the money tomorrow and I'll give you the money and the house deed in one hand."
"I'll send someone to your house tomorrow, so you'd better not play any tricks." Chen Yu said.
Now that Shen Yu has entered the court as an official, if she is exposed, both she and her mother will be implicated. Now all she can do is run as far as she can.
Chen Yan snorted and left in a hurry, tripping over the threshold on her way out. After she stood firm, she raised her eyes and saw Prince Beilin standing in the courtyard.
The immortal is like jade, I am afraid that this is the scene in front of me
.
Hearing the sound, Xie Tingzhou turned his head and looked indifferently. His eyes did not linger on Shen Yan at all, but softened a little when they fell on Shen Yu behind her.
He asked gently, "Are you done talking?"
"Yeah." Chen Yu walked towards Xie Tingzhou, "What's wrong?"
"Wait for you to eat." Xie Tingzhou took her hand.
Shen Yan's fingertips trembled slightly, and her gaze at Shen Yu's back almost pierced Shen Yu.
Why?
What virtue and ability does Shen Yu have?
Why do her father, her brother, Jiang Lianzhi, and the Prince of Beilin in front of her all like and care for her?
She tried, tried to push Chen Yu to the bottom, but she appeared in front of her in another more aggressive posture.
She couldn't win, this was the answer she got after she suffered a setback.
Chen Yan almost ran away. She staggered to the door, but suddenly stopped.
Chen Yan held onto the door frame and turned back, "Your Highness."
Xie Tingzhou glanced sideways but did not respond.
Chen Yan's smile was malicious. "There is something that Your Highness may not know. My sister's first love is with Lord Jiang from the Ministry of Revenue. She told me that Lord Jiang is handsome and charming."
Chen Yu wanted to tear her mouth apart, but just as she took a step forward, she was hugged by Xie Tingzhou.
"What should we do then?" Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids.
He smiled faintly and said slowly, "She has me completely bewitched. Don't say she is just in love for the first time. Even if she has been married, I will snatch her away from her."
Shen Yan was completely stunned, standing blankly at the door, "You..."
Xie Tingzhou hugged Chen Yu and turned calmly, "See you off."
On the way back to Qingpu Residence, Xie Tingzhou walked faster and faster, and finally let go of Shen Yu and strode forward.
Shen Yu followed closely behind him, not knowing what was wrong with him. When they were almost at the door of Qingpu Residence, she couldn't help but ask.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Xie Tingzhou turned around suddenly.
Shen Yu was unable to react and almost got hit.
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, "Are you in love for the first time?"
"No, no." Chen Yu quickly denied.
She thought he didn't care anymore because of what he said just now, but she didn't expect there was another thing waiting for her.
She should have known that whenever Jiang Lianzhi was mentioned, his reaction would be greater than anything else. Chen Yu began to suspect that the person he really liked was actually Jiang Lianzhi, and the reason he was with her was because he didn't want Jiang Lianzhi to get married.
Xie Tingzhou pressed forward, "He is handsome and elegant?"
Chen Yu shook her head, "No, you are the one with both talent and beauty."
Xie Tingzhou snorted coldly, "When did it happen?"
"What?"
"When did you tell Shen Yan that you were in love with Jiang Lianzhi?"
"I forgot." Chen Yu quickly changed the subject, "I didn't say that."
In fact, she had long forgotten whether she had said it or not. It had been several years since she married Jiang Lianzhi in her previous life. Who would remember it so clearly? Anyway, it was best not to admit it at this moment.
As soon as Xie Tingzhou saw the look in her eyes, he knew what was going on. He was still angry, so he pinched her chin and whispered, "Will you tell me or not? If not, I'll kiss you here."
Chen Yu glanced around a few times. There were maids walking around and servants sweeping the yard. She was not shameless enough to be that shameless, but she believed that Xie Tingzhou could really do it in a fit of rage.
"I said, I really forgot. It seems, it seems that I said he was handsome, but I definitely didn't say that I was in love with him."
She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She stood on tiptoe and whispered to Xie Tingzhou: "I am in love with you now."
Xie Tingzhou's angry face was instantly calmed by these words. He lowered his eyes and looked at her and said, "Stay away from him when you go to court from now on."
Chen Yu said seriously: "I am very far away from him. I am a million miles away from him."
At noon, Xie Tingzhou asked Changliu to pass a message to Zhong Bo, asking him to move all of Chen Yu's things from Lumingxuan.
After lunch, Shen Yu went back to see that everything had been moved almost completely, but she didn't dare move the things in the study.
As soon as Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou stepped into the study of Lumingxuan, they heard that Li Jifeng had come.
As soon as the maid left the study, Li Jifeng stepped in.
"I'm here to give you a heads-up." Li Jifeng looked around. "Where's the tea?"
"What's the matter?" Xie Tingzhou asked the maid to serve tea.
Li Jifeng glanced at Chen Yu, undecided whether to speak or not.
"Go ahead." Xie Tingzhou said, "Don't hide anything from her."
Li Jifeng nodded. "I just came out of the palace and met someone in front of Chengtian Gate. Guess who it was?"
"Since it's an urgent matter, don't keep us in suspense." Xie Tingzhou said slowly.
"Boring." Li Jifeng complained, and then said, "It's the Marquis of Xuanping."
Chen Yu said, "It's nothing strange for Marquis Xuanping to enter the palace."
Li Jifeng said: "It's not strange, but the person he brought with him is strange. Are you looking for an old man?"
Xie Tingzhou has a sharp gaze.
Li Jifeng said quickly, "Don't get me wrong. I glanced at a portrait in the study. Although my memory is not very good, I remember the mole on his face very clearly. Xuanping Hou went to the Ministry of Justice, and the old man with the mole on his face followed him. What do you think he was doing in the Ministry of Justice?"
