Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

"I'll go back to the palace first with your message. Duke and Madam, Zitan will take her leave." After saying that, she turned and walked out.

"Miss Zitan, wait a minute, why did the Queen suddenly summon Chuchu to the palace?" Madam Mu couldn't help but speak. Lord Mu Yun glanced at his wife and refrained from speaking.

"Madam, I cannot say too much, but entering the palace tomorrow is not a big deal. Miss Mu will naturally know when she sees the Empress." After saying this, she didn't say much. After paying her respects, she left the Duke's Mansion and led the other two palace maids back to Kunning Palace to report.

"My Lord, you said that the Queen suddenly summoned Chuchu to the palace. What do you think is going on?"

"How could this duke know about the majesty's affairs? Also, madam, don't ask the messengers in the palace about their superiors' affairs in the future, so as not to bring yourself into trouble."

"I understand." She still had a worried look on her face and ordered her personal maid, "Rongzhi, go and call the young lady to the inner courtyard. I have something to say to her. My Lord, I will go back to the inner courtyard first." After that, she bowed and led the servants into the inner hall.

Mu Sheng ignored her and ordered the servant who followed him: "Yaqing, find the second young master and ask him to go to the study of the Duke of this country."

"Yes." The servant named Yaqing immediately went to find Mu Yejun.

Because there are many people and little land in the imperial city, except for the imperial palace which occupies the largest area, the mansions of other nobles are not as large as those of the wealthy families who do not live in the imperial city. At the same time, the largest mansion belongs to the prince's mansion, because the prince is the emperor's younger brother after all. On the other hand, the Mu family relies on the queen and can only be considered as a foreign relative. The area of ​​their mansion is much smaller than that of the prince's mansion. This is one of the reasons why Yunshenggong Mu Sheng dislikes Zhong Prince Zhu Haoyu.

The study of Lord Yunsheng Mu Sheng is right next to the main house in the outer courtyard, so the privacy is naturally much worse. On the other hand, Lord Shen has a separate courtyard as his study in the Anbo Marquis Mansion. As long as the door is closed, no one except the person involved will know what is said inside.

Of course, it is a duke's mansion after all. Although the privacy is a little poor, the study is still relatively spacious and bright.

Mu Sheng sat behind the desk in the study with a gloomy face, drinking the tea that the maid had just brought, thinking about his own things. He had only taken a few sips when he heard footsteps.

The person who came was the handsome and talented second son, Mu Yejun.

He waited for Mu Yejun to greet him, then pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Sit down." Then he continued, "Father asked you to come here because of the matter between you and the second young lady of the Shen family."

"Please tell me clearly, father." Seeing his father's unhappy expression, Mu Yejun felt something was wrong.

"After the court session today, I overheard that Prince Zhong proposed to Marquis An, and it was Prince Zhu who asked to marry Miss Shen Er."

Mu Yejun listened silently.

Lord Mu Yun said in an unhappy tone, "Yesterday, Huaibi went to the teahouse to see Second Miss Shen, and Prince Zhu should have gone as well. But after you came back home, you didn't mention it to me, my mother, and your brother, which made me lose the upper hand in front of Prince Zhong today."

"Father, please forgive me. I was wrong about this. I really didn't expect Prince Zhong to propose marriage." Mu Yejun stood up and saluted his father, bowing and explaining: "Yesterday, I went to the teahouse and met Miss Shen Er. After a few words, Prince Zhu from Prince Zhong's mansion showed up." So he told the whole story of yesterday. Of course, he didn't mention that Shen Shenshen guessed that he had many confidantes, and said that if she married him, she would also want Zhu Yanxiao as a confidante.

Lord Mu Yun listened to the whole story and frowned, "So it seems that Second Miss Shen made an appointment with Prince Zhu first, and because the wife of the Marquis's Mansion was not aware of it, she wrote to your mother and asked you to meet your daughter. As a result, Huaibi and Prince Zhu also met."

"Father, that's right."

"Humph, this Second Miss Shen is so unfaithful to her husband, secretly meeting a stranger without her parents' knowledge. The Duke's Mansion doesn't need such a daughter-in-law. We will cancel the marriage proposal with the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."

"Father, wouldn't this be a bargain for Prince Zhong's Mansion?"

"Marry a virtuous wife. If a daughter-in-law who is not a good wife secretly has an affair with a man other than her husband, let Prince Zhong treat her as a treasure."

Mu Yejun didn't have much feeling for Shen Shenshen. He really didn't like her appearance, her face was chubby and not delicate and beautiful enough. Anyway, he had many beauties, so it didn't matter who he married as his wife.

But, Mu·Hai Wang·Ye Jun understands women very well. According to his Hai Wang intuition: Shen Shenshen is not simple. Because such a plain appearance actually makes the prince of Zhongqin Palace, who is looked down upon by everyone, fall in love with her. Today, Zhongqin Prince personally proposed marriage, which means that Zhu Yanxiao has fallen in love.

"Father, don't you find it strange? I have seen Miss Shen, who is plain-looking and has a bad figure. In the eyes of many people, she is not a good wife. However, the arrogant Prince Zhu took the initiative to ask her to be his consort."

"Holding the jade pendant means..."

"There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. There must be something going on with this Second Miss Shen that the Duke's Mansion doesn't know about."

Lord Mu Yun also reacted at this time.

"Huai Bi is right. How can someone favored by Prince Zhu be mediocre?" After saying that, he looked at Mu Yejun and said with some dissatisfaction: "Huai Bi, since we are talking about your marriage today, I, your father, will also say a few more words."

"Please give me some advice, father."

"You should change your romantic nature. You are going to get married soon. You should end up breaking up with those female confidantes. If you really like her, take her in as a concubine after Miss Shen comes to your house. It's not nice to fool around outside all day. You don't care about the rumors in the capital, but your father still has to take care of the reputation of the Duke's House."

It was the first time that Mu Yejun heard his father speak so seriously. He could not help but calm down and answered honestly, "I understand."

"I know, but I'll see if you change in the future." Lord Mu Yun then changed the subject: "Since the Second Miss Shen has some skills, you might as well get in touch with her more. Today, I had an argument with that old fellow Prince Zhong at the Meridian Gate for you, and finally got Marquis An to agree that the Second Miss Shen can leave the palace twice every seven days to study mathematics with Prince Zhu and you respectively."

"Father, why does she want to learn mathematics?"

"It was Prince Zhong who proposed this to Marquis An. I now think that Prince Zhu and Second Miss Shen are planning something. Second Miss Shen should first study with Prince Zhu for thirty days and then with you for thirty days. Huaibi must seize the opportunity and find out what the two are planning."

"I understand. I'm afraid that learning mathematics is just an excuse, but it doesn't matter. I will make Miss Shen obey my orders."

Lord Mu Yun nodded and said indifferently, "I believe in Huaibi's romantic tactics."

Mu·Neptune·Yejun was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to respond.

"Miss Shen and Master Zhu must keep it a secret from your sister. Otherwise, Chuchu will make a scene once she finds out, and it will cause unrest in the mansion. It's getting late, so go back first."

Mu Yejun bowed to Mu Yungong and said, "I understand, father, you should go to bed early." Then he turned and left the study.
