As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Shen Lanyue cursed him in her heart a hundred times, asking him if he was a beast. Did he never eat meat or eat too little? Or did she develop some special hobby in him?

Until the next day, she still felt a warm breath falling on her eyelids in her hazy sleep. It was a brief kiss like a dragonfly touching the water. At that moment, Shen Lanyue felt that her eyelids were trembling physically, and in the end she only heard the man chuckle.

Obvious pleasure.

Just when Shen Lanyue thought he had finally let her go and was about to leave, his hand gently touched my cheek, then moved down and rubbed back and forth in his mouth lightly and ambiguously.

"Okay, go to sleep peacefully, I won't bother you anymore."

Shen Lanyue had cursed him countless times in her heart, and she didn't dare to believe what he said. As she thought about it, she was too tired and fell asleep in a daze.

Everyone in the sunny courtyard felt very happy in their hearts. After all, their master was loved by the marquis, which was the greatest honor in the world for them.

When Shen Lanyue woke up from her sleep, she felt exhausted and uncomfortable all over, and her throat was extremely dry.

He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Fanfan, Fanfan."

"Madam!" Fanfan, who had been waiting in the outer room, hurried in with an undisguised look of joy on his face.

"water."

Fanfan hurriedly poured a glass of water for Shen Lanyue. Just when he was about to ask her to drink slowly, he saw that the young lady had already drunk up all the water.

Shen Lanyue felt her throat moistened: "More." After drinking three or four cups in a row, she felt alive again. "Go get ready and help me wash up."

"Yes."

When Fanfan came in to help Shen Lanyue dress and wash, her whole face blushed with shame. This... this is ten times more excessive than before when they were newly married.

Originally, Shen Lanyue's skin was fair, so any marks would be very obvious. Now, every invisible place was covered with marks that could not be seen by others, and some were even more obvious with blue.

"Let me do it myself." Shen Lanyue sighed deeply. If she let this girl do it again, she would faint from shame.

It's not that bad if you're afraid.

If I hadn't resisted desperately yesterday, there would be traces in places where I can't see anyone, and I would have to stay in the yard for several days.

After Shen Lanyue had tidied up, she asked someone to serve lunch. After turning down the other concubines who wanted to pay their respects, she dealt with the affairs of the mansion.

She didn't want to see those people, and naturally knew what they wanted to express. There was no need. As the mistress of this mansion, she didn't need to cater to them at all. Even if they were given by those nobles, Shen Lanyue knew that these people were people that Meng Changce didn't care about at all.

-------------------------------------

After that, the capital city was quiet for a while, nothing unexpected happened, and there were only a few days left before the Lantern Festival was handed over to a noble lady.

Xu Ziyun was very curious, so she asked Shen Lanyue to meet her in the teahouse, wanting to know what her sister thought.

"You really don't know?" Xu Ziyun said in disbelief.

Shen Lanyue looked at the scenery on the street and turned back and smiled, "I'm really not sure."

"Then why did you ask me to make an appointment that time before? Wasn't it because you wanted to see those two people fight each other?"

"It's not up to me to decide who wins or loses. It's up to the person behind the scenes, not the two people's abilities."

Xu Ziyun smiled and said, "But I do know a piece of news. Do you want to hear it?" Her eyes turned to you, asking if you wanted to know the secret.

Didn't Shen Lanyue know what her best friend was thinking? She picked up the cake from the table and handed it to her, saying flatteringly, "Good Ziyun, I really want to know."

Xu Ziyun glared at her and took a bite of the pastry.

"You know the prince of the Princess's Mansion, right? He's just like your husband... uh uh" He paused, skipped the topic and said, "The Princess punished him to stay at home and reflect on his mistakes for three months."

Shen Lanyue blinked her eyelashes and asked back with fake curiosity: "What does this have to do with the good news?"

"The funny thing is that the prince was punished because of Shen Wanqing. She, somehow, hooked up with the prince again. Originally, the eldest princess had her eyes on the Sun family."

Shen Lanyue slandered in her heart: Shen Wanqing didn't just get involved with the prince just now, but had it going on for a long time, when none of us could have imagined it.

"So the Sun family won this time, right?" Shen Lanyue said.

"Not necessarily. The princess loves her son so much, maybe she will give him to Shen Wanqing. After all, only a few people know this news, and the princess is keeping it a secret."

Shen Lanyue looked at the tea in her hand. The tea leaves were floating in the cup, and ripples would form just by shaking the cup lightly.

Just like the game in this play, anyone could be a pawn of Meng Changce and Li Wenxuan.

Since Xu Ziyun knew about this, how could the powerful people not find out? I was also confused about what kind of role the eldest princess played.

"Lan Yue?"

Shen Lanyue looked up and came out of her thoughts. Then she heard the noise outside. The two looked at each other, and saw confusion and curiosity in each other.

Looking down from the window along the stairs, I only saw a few handsome men. They all had good looks, but what made them more outstanding was probably their temperament.

It is an innate temperament, a contemptuous attitude from above, and an unconventional arrogance from a superior.

Just by looking at that back view, Shen Lanyue's expression turned cold, and there was an unshakable chill in her eyes, as if it would turn into a knife and pierce into his chest.

Li Wenxuan.

When those people turned around, he saw those familiar faces, which made her feel cold in her heart. Of course, she had also seen their endings, their heads fell off, and their entire families were executed.

She looked at Xu Ziyun beside her, and couldn't help but recall the last time she saw her. Her thin eyes were full of despair, the firelight reflected on her face, her belly was bulging, but her face showed liberation.

She told herself across the sea of ​​fire that she was finally going to die.

And all this pain comes from Zhu Huaishu, one of Li Wenxuan's followers, who is now smiling like a peacock.

This person said that his status was neither high nor low. He was Li Wenxuan's cousin, so he naturally stood on his side.

In the later period, the Xu family was forced to choose one of the third and fourth princes, and Xu Ziyun became a victim. Marriage was the biggest benefit.

Zhu Huaishu is lustful by nature and is not a good man at all.

Of course, what Shen Lanyue knew was that Xu Ziyun lived a sober life. She never cared about Zhu Huaishu's love for her. As long as she had the highest status, it didn't matter how many concubines she had.

But in the end, she still burned down the entire house, including herself.
