She immediately turned around subconsciously so that the other person could not see her.

It was as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, and he collapsed into his seat.

How can it be?

How could that person appear here in the first place? !

And he appeared at the seat of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!

At this moment, a palace maid suddenly walked to Song Rao's side and bowed, saying, "Madam Yun, the sour plum soup you requested is ready."

Wang was struck by a bolt from the blue.

Could it be possible that she had stolen the child of General Yun from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? !

Something deep in her heart was collapsing bit by bit. Compared to the danger of being discovered, what was even more unacceptable to her now was that Lin Shuning actually had an extraordinary family background. Even if he didn't have the Shangshu Mansion, he would still have the Zhenguo Mansion.

She clenched her teeth tightly, feeling unwilling.

How could this little bitch outdo her Rou'er again and again? She couldn't accept it!

Wang took a deep breath and looked over there cautiously. When she saw Lin Shuning and Song Rao talking and laughing, she was frightened again.

Could it be that Lin Shuning has already discovered his identity?

No, it's impossible.

Not to mention that Ma Ma has turned into a living dead and her daughter is also dead. No one else knows what happened except her. Just look at Lin Shuning's character. If she knew that she was the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she would never stay in the Shangshu Mansion for a moment.

As long as she hasn't discovered it yet, there is still room for things to turn around.

Wang tried her best to comfort herself. Just at this moment, Zhou Yuan returned to his seat. Seeing her ugly face, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Wang shook her head and hid her face under the dark green shawl.

So much time has passed, maybe Song Rao has already forgotten what she looks like.

Besides, she had slightly changed her appearance to hide her identity, so she shouldn't be able to recognize herself.

Wang gritted her teeth. No matter what, it would be safer not to let her see her face as much as possible.

She dropped her eyes and clenched her fists under the table.

After the court officials exchanged greetings, they all returned to their original seats, and Lin Shuning had no choice but to return to his seat in the Shangshu Mansion.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the voice of Concubine An.

"Your Majesty, today is a good day. I see these young faces, each of them is handsome and graceful. Why don't we take advantage of this auspicious occasion to find a match for them, to add to the happiness?"

She looked at Lin Shuning and said with a curled lip: "In my opinion, why not start with Miss Lin San from the Shangshu Mansion."

Lin Shuning frowned and clenched his hands under his sleeves.

She was really puzzled as to why those who were eyeing her were using such boring tricks, either drugging her to make her lose her virginity, or trying to marry her off.

Could it be that her life's value as a woman is reflected in men?

How funny.

Emperor Jingsheng's eyes fell on Lin Shuning and he said in a deep voice, "Who do you think is more suitable, Concubine An?"

Concubine An raised her lips, her eyes flickered as she spoke softly, "I think..."

"Miss Lin San is still young. Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to rush." ​​The Queen, who had been silent all the time, smiled and interrupted Concubine An. "Just let these young children get along on their own."

joke.

How could she give up such an opportunity to win over Lin Shuning to Concubine An?

If Pei Yan wasn't pregnant now, she wouldn't have asked for the prince to marry a concubine. How could such a bitch as Concubine An have the turn to ask?

Concubine An gritted her teeth in anger, and while Emperor Jingsheng had not yet made a decision, she quickly gave Jiang Chen a look.

Jiang Chen glanced at Jiang Yu with a half-smile, and Jiang Yu met his gaze, his eyes darkened, and his cheeks moved slightly.

Jiang Chen turned the crystal cup in his hand, stood up and said, "Father, I have admired Miss Lin San from the Shangshu Mansion for a long time. I would like to ask you to grant me a marriage with Miss Lin San."

The sound of Jiang Yu crushing the cup was drowned out by the word "granted marriage".

He subconsciously looked at Lin Shuning, and almost at the same time, Lin Shuning was also looking at him. The two people's eyes met, the latter looked away immediately, but the former still locked her in his eyes.

Before Lin Shuning could say no to this shameless and ridiculous Jiang Chen, pa pa pa——

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jiang Yu clapping his hands lazily and smiling.

"I never expected that Third Brother's affection would be so touching, but..."

Jiang Yu glanced at everyone and turned to look at Emperor Jingsheng: "Father, I remember that my third brother had a chance to appreciate jade with the fourth lady of the Shangshu Mansion at the residence of Master Jiang. Although the fourth lady unfortunately passed away, my third brother said that he had been in love with the third lady Lin for a long time. I am afraid that this is a bit bad for the royal family's reputation..."

Gu Wen's clenched fists loosened.

The palace was full of shrewd people, and they all knew that Jiang Yu and Jiang Chen did not get along with each other. Now they took the opportunity to attack him, saying that the proposal of marriage was damaging to the reputation of the royal family, and the matter suddenly became serious.

Emperor Jingsheng glanced at Lin Shuning and Jiang Yu with a deep gaze.

How could he not know what Jiang Yu was thinking?

He almost had the words "Lin Shuning is his" engraved on his forehead.

What's more, Concubine Xi would now whisper in his ear every night about her love for Lin Shuning. If he agreed to marry Lin Shuning to Jiang Chen, he would probably be locked out for who knows how long.

As if she thought he was taking too long to think, Concubine Xi glared at Emperor Jingsheng calmly.

Emperor Jingsheng responded with an innocent look, cleared his throat, waved his hand and said, "Today is the day to welcome the Duke of Zhenguo back in triumph. Let's put these sentimental feelings aside for now and talk about it after the banquet. We can't let these young kids take over the Duke of Zhenguo's home turf."

Everyone shouted "Your Majesty is wise" again, and the palace banquet resumed.

Lin Shuning breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Jiang Yu unconsciously, meeting his deep eyes that were looking at her intently.

She quickly turned her head away and lowered her head to stuff a piece of cake into her mouth.

Gu Wen, who was staring at Lin Shuning, saw this scene and his eyes dimmed. Jiang Chen turned the crystal glass in his hand with a sneer on his lips.

Concubine An naturally didn't have an easy time either.

She saw clearly the interaction between Concubine Xi and Emperor Jingsheng just now. Their eyes were full of affection and love.

The knuckles holding the ivory chopsticks turned white and almost broke.

She hates.

In order not to disturb Chen'er that day, she deliberately asked the palace servants to stay away, but she didn't expect that this gave Lin Shuning the opportunity to escape, and her Chen'er almost died.

Although several trusted eunuchs chased after him, none of them came back. The others did come back, but found nothing.

What frightened her even more was that those eunuchs disappeared without anyone noticing.

A gloomy look appeared in Concubine An's eyes.

Apart from Jiang Yu, there is no one else who can do such a thing.

The surging resentment burned her like a knife gnawing at her heart and bones, and this resentment also burned another person - Wang.

At this moment, Wang's face, which was huddled under the shawl, had turned ashen.

She knew that this little bitch had hooked up with the princes. It was a pity that her Rou'er could not marry into the royal family, but this bitch was snatched up by the princes. How could God be so blind? !

She looked at Lin Shuning with gnashing teeth, wishing she could chop her into pieces and stuff her into her stomach so that she would never be able to stand up again.

The heroine Lin Shuning, who was surrounded by all these thoughts, had nothing to do at the moment. She was taking the tea just brought by the palace maid and sipping it gently. At this moment, Pei Yan walked up to her and smiled at her.
