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

When they separated, what surrounded them was not only ambiguity, but also an atmosphere that was different from every time before, which made Shen Lanyue's heart beat unusually.

She suddenly pushed him away, distanced herself from him, and looked at him with blinking eyes.

Meng Changce was not surprised at all. Instead, he leaned on the table with her strength and stared at Shen Lanyue's sparkling red lips with an unusually longing look.

No one spoke between the two. One of them kept looking up and staring at the other with a strong gaze, while the other did not dare to look at him, and his fingers grasped the fabric tightly between his sleeves.

"Someone, come and wash up." Finally, Meng Changce broke the silence with a smile and shouted to the people guarding outside.

He looked at the lady in front of him with a shy and rosy face, and knew that he couldn't press too hard now, otherwise it would not be good for him.

Shen Lanyue watched as the servants at the door came in and out, preparing for everything as he gave the order.

He couldn't help but shudder, and his face became redder.

Although Meng Changce didn't stare at him like before, he was always watching her changes out of the corner of his eye.

It seems that the last time left a deep impression on the lady.

In the end, Shen Lanyue guessed wrong. Meng Changce just went to take a shower by himself, and they did not have any more intimate behavior that night.

He just held her in his arms, and the two of them spent an extremely warm and ambiguous evening.

This was different from them, every night for the first time they would just fall asleep in each other's arms like a normal couple.

The next morning, he went to court.

Shen Lanyue regained the power of housekeeper and lifted the restrictions in the yard.

It is worth mentioning that Li Xiaoniang, who had always been relatively law-abiding in the backyard, was killed by the Marquis with a single sword.

The beautiful Yu Xiaoniang, who had always been the most arrogant in the courtyard, cherished her beautiful face the most. It was said that her face was disfigured when she woke up one day.

Moreover, she did not even seek help from Meng Changce, but closed the door and quietly raised it in the yard.

Shen Lanyue felt that there was an unusual weirdness in every place.

The instigator of all this was probably Meng Changce, whom they had looked down upon for a long time. He knew that Yu Xiaoniang was a woman sent by the Meng family, but he didn't know which family the deceased Li Xiaoniang was from.

But all this had little to do with Shen Lanyue. She just ordered someone to visit Yu Xiaoniang.

After all, Shen Wanqing, who learned that she had recovered, could no longer hold back her desire to show off.

She had sent out invitations to the daughters of various wealthy families early in the morning, inviting them to a gathering at Wansheng Tower. This invitation was naturally intended to ask the sisters for advice.

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

Ever since Shen Wanqing learned that she had defeated the Sun family, her eyes have been raised to the sky. A few days ago, she made a big fuss about the family affairs in the mansion, mainly targeting her father.

Speaking of which, Shen Lanyue also found it funny.

Shen Ling was really happy for several days when he heard that his daughter had won over the Sun family. But Shen Wanqing was stupid, and he was not. He also saw clearly that the Sun family did not want to be in the limelight at that time, so the situation fell on Shen Wanqing.

Shen Ling reacted and immediately called her to the study. I don’t know what the father and daughter talked about in there, but they started arguing.

Others may not know, but Shen Lanyue knows it very well. It's just that Shen Ling wants Shen Wanqing to be more low-key and try to make this lantern festival less mediocre.

But Shen Wanqing had worked so hard to get this opportunity and wanted to show herself in the capital, so how could she possibly listen to Shen Ling?

Naturally, there will be a quarrel.

There is no place to show off myself. I finally wait until I can go out, so I should show off.

"Sister Shang, I heard that the eldest princess likes you very much. I wonder if you know what kind of things the eldest princess likes." Shen Wanqing said intimately, holding a young lady's hand.

"No, no, I just go to the princess occasionally."

"Sister, please don't be so modest. The right to host the Lantern Festival is in my hands, but I am quite nervous. I must ask all the sisters carefully."

Shen Lanyue smiled and clinked glasses with Xu Ziyun beside her, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.

Shen Lanyue naturally sat in the corner, watching Shen Wanqing acting. Since she came over, Shen Wanqing had never come over to say a word to her, and had never even looked at her.

From the way other people were talking about the Lantern Festival, and the way they were talking to the ladies from wealthy families, you could tell what their purpose was.

Xu Ziyun retracted her gaze and whispered in Shen Lanyue's ear: "I heard that she even sent an invitation to Sun Shuhao."

"She doesn't quite understand the situation then."

Shen Lanyue sneered.

"Even if she knew, she still wanted to disgust Sun Shu for a while." Xu Ziyun said again. "Look at those people. They were standing at Sun's house last time. Now they are still holding Shen Wanqing intimately."

Shen Lanyue raised her eyebrows and glanced at her: "She will come to see you later."

Xu Ziyun waited for her to finish, and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, her face turned pale and she said maliciously, "I'm not a pushover."

"She won't treat you as a soft persimmon, and will come over to win you over."

After Shen Lanyue finished speaking, she saw Shen Wanqing walking over with a smile on her face, as if she suddenly saw the two of them, and sat down beside them.

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time. I heard that my sister was ill some time ago and the maids in the mansion didn't see her. I really can't spare the time, otherwise I would go to see my sister in person."

Shen Wanqing looked at Shen Lanyue with her watery and bright eyes and said, it's a pity that they are not men and they really don't fall for her tricks.

Shen Lanyue smiled back at her, but her words were not gentle: "Really? Why didn't I hear my husband mention that someone was coming to visit me?"

Shen Wanqing's smile froze, and the curve of her mouth froze on her face.

She didn't expect Shen Lanyue to be so disrespectful to her. At least they were sisters in the outside world and came from the same family. Even if she really didn't do it, she couldn't say it so inappropriately.

Shen Wanqing could only roll her eyes and look at Shen Lanyue with a pitiful and cautious look: "It's really because my subordinates were lazy. I will interrogate them thoroughly when I get back."

Before Shen Lanyue could speak, he continued, "They must have not seen my sister, and thought that I would punish them when I came back, so they lied and slandered my sister."

Shen Lanyue just smiled gently and looked at her without saying anything.

Shen Lanyue knew exactly what she was thinking. And everyone present knew whether this statement was true or not. Everyone was from a famous family, so everyone knew that this was her excuse to shirk responsibility.

It is impossible for a servant to do such a thing. He will tell the truth word for word according to his master's order.

So at this time, Shen Lanyue defeated her without saying anything.
