Chapter 84 Take Back Your Things
The little maidservant trembled and said, "This servant heard the young marquis say that they, they were in a room, the young marquis was lying on the couch, and Shi Yu was with him, on top of him."
Zhong Bo glanced at Xie Tingzhou's face, worried that he might get angry, and quickly poured him a glass of water.
"Your Highness, please do not get too excited. Now that you know what kind of person Shi Yu is, you can wake up sooner and cut the Gordian knot."
Although Xie Tingzhou didn't know what the two of them could do on the couch, based on his understanding of Shen Yu, it was good enough that she didn't press Pei Chunli down and beat him, and there would definitely be no romantic feelings between them.
But it was always unpleasant to think about it, that idiot actually knew Chen Yu earlier than him.
Zhong Bo was full of expectations, just waiting for His Highness to give the order to expel the boy from the mansion. He would have fulfilled his mission.
Xie Tingzhou took the teacup and said calmly, "Get up."
The maid took a look and slowly stood up, remembering that Uncle Zhong had told her to be precise, and whispered, "Also, there's one more thing I forgot to say."
Xie Tingzhou motioned for her to speak.
The maid said, "Before Shi Yu came to the front hall, the young marquis said that the two had already secretly decided to spend their lives together."
despair--
The teacup fell lightly on the table, and Xie Tingzhou's face was gloomy.
The maid was so frightened that her legs went limp and she knelt down again.
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes, "Did he really say that?"
"It's absolutely true," the maid kowtowed, "Several people in the hall heard it."
Zhong Bo took the opportunity to dissuade them, "Your Highness, as the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Since they have already decided to spend their lives together, why don't we help them and prepare a small gift to wish them a happy marriage."
Xie Tingzhou said coldly: "Wish them a happy marriage? Is he Pei Chunli worthy?"
Zhong Bo was ashamed. Oh my God, it seems that the Crown Prince not only will not stop, but will even resort to such immoral things as robbery and breaking up people's marriages.
The problem is... Zhong Bo couldn't bring himself to speak and could only think about it in his heart.
According to Pei Chunli's description, Shi Yu should be the one on top. The problem is that his prince doesn't seem to be the one below. Haven't they realized this problem yet?
Zhong Bo felt that the mere thought of such a thing made him feel embarrassed.
He wanted to say a few more words, but Xie Tingzhou had already reached out and stroked his forehead, "Alright, everyone, get off."
Zhong Bo quickly shut up, "Then I won't disturb your highness's rest."
After leaving the room, Uncle Zhong let out a long sigh.
I thought the task assigned by the old prince should be simple, but it turned out to be so difficult. It is a long and arduous journey.
From His Majesty's side
It’s not easy to get it, so I guess I have to start from Shi Yu.
…
As soon as it got dark, Chen Yu took people to the general's mansion.
Shen Yan and Madam Shen had already gone to bed. When they heard that the visitor was heading straight for the storeroom, they did not have time to dress up, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed over.
The warehouse door was wide open and a dozen people were moving things out.
When Mrs. Shen saw this, she gasped and rushed forward to block the way, "What are you doing?!"
She turned and looked at Chen Yu, and said viciously: "What on earth do you want to do?"
There was a chair placed at the door of the warehouse. Shen Yu stood still as a mountain and said calmly, "Come and get my own things back."
Shen Yu raised her chin slightly, "Continue moving."
Shopkeeper Lu was counting the numbers with a book in his hand, and said, "Young Master said to keep moving, be quick."
“This is something from the general’s mansion,” Mrs. Shen was shaking with anger, “Chen Yu, don’t go too far!”
"Who is going too far?" Chen Yu stood up from her chair. "Who took advantage of the death of my father and brother to hold a funeral for me without authorization and try to embezzle my family property?"
Shen Yan arrived a little later than Madam Shen, and just happened to hear this sentence when she arrived. She stood in the corridor and did not move forward. She looked at the people coming and going to move things with a dull expression, and it seemed that she did not react for a while.
Chen Yu happened to see her and glanced at her, "Do you think you can get what you want this way?"
Madam Shen pointed at Shen Yu, and her voice was shaking with anger. "I, I, I, I want to report to the police! You broke into a private house and brought people to steal."
"You report it," Chen Yu said while standing on the steps with her eyes lowered, "Send someone now, don't you dare? Do you want me to report it for you?"
Mrs. Shen was in a dilemma.
She didn't dare report it, because once she did, it would expose the fact that Shen Yu was still alive, and their private funeral would be exposed. To put it mildly, it would be a fight over family property, and to put it seriously, it would be deceiving the emperor.
They thought they had Chen Yu in their control, but in fact, Chen Yu was controlling them.
There were servants in the mansion, but she couldn't call them because there were very few people who knew the inside story. The more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be. She could only watch as the gold, silver and jade pieces were taken away one by one.
Mrs. Shen finally saw Shen Yan in a panic, and rushed over to hold her, "You should think of a solution quickly."
Shen Yan pursed her lips and said, “Let her move.”
"What?" Mrs. Shen was shocked. "This is our stuff. How can we let her take it away?"
Chen Yu sneered, "Your things? What you moved were all my mother's dowry. How dare you say such a thing?"
Mrs. Shen's chest rose and fell, and she suddenly felt terrified.
Something was wrong. Before I could stop her, I saw her pull out the hairpin on her head and stab Chen Yu.
Madam Shen was no match for Shen Yu. She grabbed Madam Shen's wrist and pushed her. Madam Shen immediately fell to the ground with her hair disheveled, looking very embarrassed.
"Mom!" Shen Yan rushed over.
Shen Yu looked down at the two of them, "You are still Madam Shen in name only. Of the things my father left behind, I only want his armor. The rest will be left to you. I want to take my mother's things away intact."
Madam Shen pushed aside her hair and said, "If Shen Zhongan saw you like this..."
"Think about it first. If he saw you like this," Chen Yu interrupted her, "would he regret marrying you?"
Mrs. Shen felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart. She froze in place for a moment, and after a moment, she suddenly burst into laughter.
She wasn't like this before.
When she was still unmarried, she heard that she was going to marry Shen Zhongan as his second wife. She refused at the time, thinking that a big and strong man who had been fighting in battles for many years would be covered in sweat and would not understand the world of romance.
Later, when Shen Zhongan returned to Beijing, she secretly went to see him and found that he was not what she had imagined.
The general had a handsome face, sitting on a tall horse and accepting the welcome of the people. How elegant and glorious he looked.
She was moved at that time, and later she heard that Shen Zhongan was very caring and considerate to the late lady and was a loving person, so she looked forward to marrying into the Shen family as soon as possible.
But everything that happened later shattered her fantasy.
She still remembered what Shen Zhongan said to her on their wedding night. He said, "It was not my original intention to marry you, but since I married you, you will be a member of the Shen family from now on."
Listen, in his eyes, she is just a member of the Shen family.
Where did his concern come from? He just treated her with respect.
They lived under the same roof, but they were as strangers as strangers. The one he was thinking about was always his deceased wife.
She later found out that it was Marquis Cheng'an who forced him to marry her. That was more than ten years ago, and Shen Zhongan's foundation was not as strong as it is now, so he was forced to marry her.
His two children were never taken care of by anyone else and were always by his side. She was called "mother" but did not take the responsibility of educating them.
Later, she became pregnant, and although she was happy, it was hard not to feel resentful.
Every time she complained, Shen Zhongan kept silent. As she complained more and more, he came home less and less often, and later he only came home once every one or two years.
He was fighting on the frontier battlefield, while she was a widow in the capital. She had no way to vent her resentment, and eventually she became a resentful woman. The general's mansion gradually became what it was later.
