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

Shen Fuzhong

Shen Wanqing knelt in the ancestral hall. She had been punished by Shen Ling to kneel here for four hours. No one in the family dared to plead for her, or to be more precise, no one dared to do so.

After Shen Ling learned about this, he became furious and confined Mrs. Shen to her room. Then he took his men to Shen Wanqing's yard and slapped her twice.

Afterwards, the man was punished and sent to the ancestral hall. Needless to say, Shen Zian, except for going to Madam Shen's place, he never visited Shen Wanqing.

Shen Wanqing knew that she had been fooled. Feng Shi had told her last night that the thin young man had disappeared. What bothered him the most was that the people in the troupe denied that they had ever accepted this apprentice.

However, the members of the opera troupe were all in the Princess's residence, so she had no way of interfering with anything. This made her realize that this was a conspiracy against her.

Now she had to face the wrath of the royal family and the doubts of the family, and what frightened her even more was the Third Prince. No matter how many people she sent, he would never reply to her letters.

Shen Wanqing stared at the tablet intently, sneering fiercely. Her laugh was so arrogant that the slap mark on her pretty face made her look hideous.

Her first target was Sun Shuhao.

…………

The eldest princess entered the palace.

This is the latest news Shen Lanyue received. Yesterday, the eldest princess was not summoned to the palace. Only the third and fourth princes came to the palace.

The rumors outside have been secretly stopped by someone, and Shen Lanyue cannot be sure who is behind it or whether it is the palace's work.

She didn't know much about the Empress. The only one she had more contact with in her previous life was Consort Xian. After all, she was Li Wenxuan's mother. Based on her understanding of her, this was definitely not her work.

Shen Lanyue deliberately observed Meng Changce yesterday, and he did not react to this matter at all. Even now he can no longer have such thoughts towards Shen Wanqing.

You wouldn't be so indifferent, would you?

Yes, indifference can be used to describe Meng Changce's attitude towards Shen Wanqing. This is the first time Shen Lanyue has seen him behave like this.

last night

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Meng Changce asked nonchalantly, putting down the book in his hand.

Shen Lanyue just smiled and shook her head, "Didn't my husband go to wait for a while today?" Yes, she didn't see Meng Changce today.

There was a hint of tenderness and lethargy in Meng Changce's eyes. He stared at her with his brows slightly moved. He stood up and walked over, grabbed Shen Lanyue's waist and brought her into his arms.

He whispered softly in her ear: "I went there, it was wonderful."

Shen Lanyue's body was stiff in his arms for just a moment, then became soft and warm, and his voice in her ears was not only tender and affectionate to her.

It's more like the wind in autumn, cold to the bone and making people tremble with fear.

"I think it's good too." Shen Lanyue lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness in her eyes.

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

Shen Wanqing attempted suicide by hanging herself in her mansion, but of course she failed and was rescued by her maid.

This matter was not spread outside the palace. At that time, everyone in the palace knew about it, especially the palaces of the Queen and the Concubine Xian. The most amazing thing was that she left a letter to show that she had never committed the crime of disrespecting the Queen.

But I haven't been able to find out the truth yet, and I don't have the face to face the world anymore.

She took the responsibility for this matter, but in this way. The Queen did not take any measures, but after the Princess left the palace, the Concubine Xian sent the imperial physician to the Shen Mansion.

At the same time, Shen Wanqing was punished to be taken to Qiyin Temple by a palace lady-in-waiting to reflect on her mistakes for half a year after her health improved, and to copy 1,800 volumes of Buddhist scriptures.

In the backyard of the mansion

Shen Lanyue lowered her eyebrows and stared at the black chess piece in her hand, her eyes cold and deep. After a while, she chuckled, her face still cold and without a smile.

"It seems that Shen Wanqing will really make a risky move this time." After saying that, he threw the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard, disrupting the chessboard.

Fanfan, who was standing aside, said in frustration and worry, "Madam."

Shen Lanyue glanced at her and smiled at her soothingly: "Go down, at least this time we have achieved our goal, and we don't expect to completely lose everything from her in one go."

"Yes, Madam." Fanfan glanced at Shen Lanyue, then at the messy chessboard, and lowered his head to leave. "I'll be waiting outside. You can call me if you need anything."

"Got it. I'm really fine."

After Fanfan left, Shen Lanyue's dark eyes returned to the chessboard. They were silent and cold, and her emotions could not be seen clearly.

She just thought that this was not a method she could see, and that someone was teaching her to do this behind the scenes in such a desperate manner.

She was even very familiar with such methods, like... very much like... Meng Changce in her previous life!

……

Shen Wanqing originally wanted to use this Lantern Festival to gain a good reputation, but now not only has she failed, but she has done the opposite.

Even though the rumors in the capital have been stopped, these aristocratic families have already known Shen Wanqing's abilities. As everyone agrees, she is just a beautiful embroidered pillow.

How could Shen Wanqing not be angry? She hated those people so much, but there was nothing she could do.

The Third Prince still ignored me.

She thought that she would leave the mansion tomorrow, but he still didn't come to see her. Shen Wanqing clenched the purse in her hand and gritted her teeth to suppress the anger in her heart.

Suddenly there was a sound beside her ears. She turned around and saw that it was the person she had invited in the room. She instantly controlled her emotions and looked at the person with affectionate eyes.

She called softly and charmingly, "My Lord!"

Shen Wanqing wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Hei Li, the secret guard beside Meng Changce, with the hilt of his sword, and her steps were stopped by the unsheathed sword.

"How dare you!" Shen Wanqing shouted angrily.

Meng Changce still stood there with his handsome and upright figure, looking at her beautiful face with a pair of deep and indifferent eyes, but he seemed not to like anything about her. His face was no longer as gentle and dandy as before.

He stared at her coldly until Shen Wanqing felt that she was about to fall. Then she saw that man chuckled as if ice and snow were melting.

Meng Changce gestured with his hand, and Heili then stepped back silently.

Shen Wanqing then showed her charming side again and looked at him further: "My Lord."

Meng Changce didn't say anything, but just looked down at the purse in her hand.

Shen Wanqing noticed it and immediately handed it over shyly with both hands: "My Lord, this is something I have spent a long time embroidering. I hope...you like it."

Meng Changce reached out and took the purse, rubbed it a few times with his fingers, curled his lips and smiled, "Not bad, have a safe trip." She didn't notice the sarcasm and disgust in his eyes.

"Thank you for saving my life this time, my Lord. Wanqing will remember it in her heart."

Meng Changce nodded, the candle was blown by the wind, and the person in the room disappeared in an instant.

Meng Changce, who disappeared in the Shen Mansion, handed the purse in his hand to Heili and ordered coldly and ruthlessly: "Burn it." Then he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped every inch of his fingers clean.

Throw them together to Heili.

"Burn them together."
