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

When something like this happened to Li Wenxuan, Shen Wanqing naturally received the news at the first time, as she was thinking about organizing this lantern festival well.

She also knew which one was more important and immediately sent someone to ask for a meeting at Li Wenxuan's residence, but now Li Wenxuan had no time to take care of her.

It wasn't because of Li Niang, but because someone in the capital dared to assassinate him so blatantly. How could he not be angry? After learning that there was nothing unusual about Li Niang's identity, he immediately asked his people to investigate the murderer.

He had to go to the palace to meet the emperor immediately, so he had no time to see Shen Wanqing. However, he would not lose the beauty's heart in this situation. He sent gifts to appease her and asked someone to explain that he was fine.

This allowed Shen Wanqing to calm down and continue organizing the Lantern Festival. She was so busy with two things that she had no chance to ask about Li Niang's matter.

After Li Niang woke up, she successfully stayed in Li Wenxuan's backyard, which was exactly the same as her previous life.

Of course, Shen Lanyue learned all these things from the spies she arranged in the Shen Mansion, and she knew that Shen Wanqing had now learned about some of the palace's banquet preferences from other people.

I was planning to do something big.

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

"With her coquettish look, she really is showing off in front of us sisters. I just can't stand her smugness." Sun Shuhao snatched the spring-loaded fan at hand and said while fanning it vigorously.

“But why did the princess choose her this time? It should be Sister Xu who should be the one here.” said a bright and beautiful lady at the table.

Xu Ziyun smiled and continued, "Don't tease me. The princess has her reasons. We sisters can talk about it here, but we can't say it outside."

The bright and beautiful lady also reacted and quickly smiled and changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth, it just can't speak."

……

Shen Lanyue just smiled and said nothing.

The day of the Lantern Festival is getting closer and closer. Since the last time, Sun Shuhao seemed to have found a common goal among these noble ladies.

When I have nothing to do, I like to invite a few people to get together at home. Of course, the topic is not always Shen Wanqing, but something that some girls often discuss.

But now that day is getting closer and closer, and seeing that Shen Wanqing seems to be really doing it and doing it in a very formal manner, Sun Shuhao feels uncomfortable.

This is a blatant slap in his own face and stealing his own limelight.

Shen Lanyue looked at Xu Ziyun through the teacup, then quickly looked away, and heard Xu Ziyun speak.

"The princess naturally thinks she has the ability, but I wonder if there will be any interesting ideas for this lantern festival."

Sun Shuhao was the one who knew the general process best. He sneered and said, "What interesting ideas can there be? They are just trying to borrow some tricks from the palace."

"Really? I heard that one year the palace invited a special shadow play performance, which was very exciting." Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She continued, "I didn't have the chance to see it then. I heard that it was a great honor to see it that time. You must tell us about it."

"The princesses and queens in the palace were all very happy about that event. It must have been the most exciting one. You are not allowed to hide it."

Sun Shuhao's chin slightly raised after hearing these words of flattery. He couldn't hide the pride in his eyes. He said with some pride, "Of course, that show was really good. But the show that the Empress in the palace liked the most was the Peking opera arranged for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was a great success."

Xu Ziyun continued: "I heard that the Queen's favorite thing is opera."

"Of course."

The atmosphere became lively as well, and the ladies began to tease and flatter Sun Shuhao, asking her to tell them what story the opera was about and whether the singing was good.

And Shen Lanyue, who was ignored, just deepened her smile a little bit, with the corners of her mouth raised and a meaningful look in her eyes. She naturally picked up the teacup in front of her and savoured it slowly.

Sun Shuhao is a noble lady that the current queen values ​​the most. She wants to give her to her adopted son, the fourth prince Li Jing, as his princess. As she is also the daughter of the prime minister, naturally she has more opportunities to enter the palace than other noble ladies.

In the past two years, the Queen would basically allow Sun Shuhao to enter the palace at some family banquets. Her meaning was very clear.

This honor was naturally what Sun Shuhao was most proud of. However, the preferences of the empress in the palace were uncertain, and it was not until she became the third prince's consort in her previous life that she realized that the empress really loved listening to opera.

But now this cannot be said to myself or Ziyun, as that would be considered as discussing the Queen's suspicions.

But it would be different if this important piece of news was conveyed through Sun Shuhao's mouth.

Shen Wanqing will definitely get this news from other places and will take action soon. Isn't it just that she can't think of a brilliant idea?

And this is a good opportunity presented to her.

Shen Lanyue hoped in her heart that she would continue to move forward and enter her own circle.

Only then can the rest of the show go on, and a good surprise is waiting for her.

…………

In the Shen Mansion, in the Dark Water Flow Pavilion.

Shen Wanqing held Xiping's wrist tightly and asked excitedly: "What you said is true, this news is not wrong at all!"

Xiping's wrist was a little painful from being held tightly by her, but she dared not say anything. She lowered her head and replied tremblingly: "Miss, I dare not make a single mistake. Our people outside told me so."

Shen Wanqing looked down at her and shook her hand away.

"Okay, go call in the guard outside."

"Yes." Xiping went out without hesitation.

After she called the guards at the door in, Xiping also stood guard at the door as before. She knew that these were people specially assigned by the Third Prince to protect the young lady.

Soon the door was opened and the dull guard walked out respectfully.

"Xi Ping, come in."

Xiping looked at the guard cautiously, her heart skipped a beat, and she walked into the house without hesitation.

The guard just saw the red mark on her wrist when he passed by her, looked at her silently and left.

……

In the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, the study was as silent and cold as ice.

Meng Changce was sitting on a high seat and couldn't see his face clearly.

"Master, Sparrow has sent a message that the matter has been settled and he will be returning soon."

The person kneeling on the ground had a hoarse voice and did not dare to express any unnecessary emotions.

The room was still silent, and there was no sound from above.

After a while, the person whose hands and feet were cut woke up on the ground through the moonlight. He opened his eyes and looked down to see the man in a black robe, trembling all over and making a humming sound.

His vocal cords were damaged and he could no longer speak.

"Master." said the secret guard.

A desolate and ruthless voice came out of Meng Changce's mouth, announcing the death sentence for the struggling man: "Kill him."

The person on the ground opened his eyes wide, not daring to move, the despair in his eyes was obvious.

At the same time, a voice came from outside: "My Lord, my Lady sent someone to ask if you want to have dinner in the courtyard."
