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

"The man died on the way before he even got there. The people who came back said he was killed right after leaving the capital, and all his money and property were gone."

"I heard that... that area is the place with the most robbers and bandits..."

Shen Lanyue just smiled, but it was a bitter smile.

She knew that all this had not escaped Meng Changce's eyes. He was clearing away the trouble for himself. And he believed that only the dead would be completely obedient, so naturally that person would not be alive.

Shen Lanyue couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She felt her nerves were throbbing, pulling herself back to the gaze of her previous life.

"You go down." She waved her hand.

Fan Fan wanted to step forward, but he could see that his young lady was tired. He wanted to be quiet, so he could only bite his lip and retreat.

At the same time, Meng Changce in the carriage also received the following news.

"My lord, Madam has asked someone to investigate that man." said Fu Bei, Meng Changce's personal servant.

Meng Changce just frowned: "Got it."

Meng Changce couldn't help but recall his first impression of Shen Lanyue.

At first, he didn't think that his wife had some abilities. He knew that the eldest daughter of the Shen family married him just to leave the Shen family, and even had hostility towards Shen Wanqing.

Originally, he needed a Changning Marquis's wife in the backyard, otherwise those women would never be content. He had someone investigate Shen Lanyue, and it seemed to meet his requirements, so he agreed accordingly.

But later he really discovered that Shen Lanyue inexplicably hated Shen Wanqing. This kind of hatred was the one he was most familiar with. He was also puzzled by this. How could there be such a great hatred between a pair of sisters?

But this is no big deal to him, and he even doesn't care.

But this also aroused his great curiosity about her, and he began to test his wife, only to discover that the person she really wanted to deal with was the Third Prince Li Wenxuan.

When he discovered this, his face in the study room indeed became gloomy, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly became heavier, oppressing every inch of the space.

Ever since he could remember, Meng Changce had been forced to accept all the open and secret struggles within the royal family. He was familiar with all the intrigues and schemes among emperors, and they were so dirty that he hated himself.

But he was already deeply involved and couldn't get out.

He had never thought that she would be involved in the fight between the princes. He did help Shen Lanyue during the Lantern Festival because he had sensed the emperor's intentions, and he also used the Lantern Festival to warn the Fourth Prince.

Of course, she had sent someone to kill that person, but she didn't really think that if it weren't for her, that person would have escaped from the hands of the princess. How could it be possible for the Xu family to do that?

The eldest princess wanted to recuperate, so she naturally needed a scapegoat. Shen Wanqing was naturally a part of her plan. Only if she took on all the responsibilities would no one investigate her further.

He deliberately gave the desperate Shen Wanqing a clear way out, a way in which neither the Queen nor the Concubine would kill her, so naturally she would be obedient.

Of course, the queen would not have wanted her life in the first place.

After all, she was the legitimate daughter of a court official, and also because the queen could not acknowledge this drama.

Of course Shen Wanqing couldn't understand it either. In that situation, she could only grab this life-saving straw like a drowning person.

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

Shen Lanyue tidied and hung up Meng Changce's coat as usual, and then ordered the people below to bring up the food, as if nothing had happened and there was no difference from usual.

She had already suppressed all her emotions before he came back. Since he could include her in this, he could also ask her to ask someone to find out the whereabouts of that person.

It was her fault that she made a wrong move. She had nothing to say and no complaints.

Meng Changce laughed.

He observed his wife casually and saw that she was still eating quietly with a focused look on her face.

Shen Lanyue was not someone who didn't have any senses, so she naturally noticed his gaze and sighed silently in her heart. Then she turned her eyes and picked up a piece of eggplant with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.

Meng Changce was stunned and looked at her with a half-smile in his eyes.

She knew that he obviously hated eating eggplant the most.

She just smiled sweetly at him and lowered her head.

Meng Changce stared at the eggplant in the bowl. Just when Fu Bei, who was serving on the side, was about to change the bowl for his master, he saw his master had already picked it up and put it in his mouth to eat.

Fu Bei's face was full of disbelief, then he turned his gaze to his wife and saw Shen Lanyue silently picking up a few more pieces of food for the Marquis.

Hmm? These are all the things that the Marquis doesn't like to eat!

He quietly glanced at the dishes on the table. Most of them were dishes that the Marquis didn't like.

Then he saw the Marquis eating all the food his wife had eaten with a smile on his face, and Fu Bei didn't know how the expression on his face changed.

Fanfan laughed so hard that he almost stamped his feet, he was amused by Fu Bei's expression.

After dinner, the two sat together to digest the food. Today, Shen Lanyue was in a good mood and practiced calligraphy at the desk by the window, while Meng Changce was still leaning lazily in the chair, reading the book in his hand.

I don’t know if he was tired of looking at her, but after a while, he supported his chin with one hand and began to admire Shen Lanyue.

With the moonlight outside the window and the candlelight in front of her, the beauty's eyes and eyebrows are reflected with a breathtaking beauty and tenderness.

Meng Changce stood up and stood beside her, looking carefully at the words on her desk with a fixed gaze.

A word on paper, dispute.

It's all about fighting.

Meng Changce's eyes were like cold stars in September. He glanced at her indifferently, then lowered his eyes and picked up the paper in front of her. He looked tired and it was impossible to understand the emotion in his eyes.

After a moment, he put down the paper, his fingers fell along her hair and onto her wrist. He leaned closer to Shen Lanyue, put his arms around her waist, and with his other hand took the paper in front of her and replaced it with a new one.

Holding Shen Lanyue's pen-holding hand, he wrote with spirit and his eyes calm.

With one stroke of the pen, there was a word on the paper: "忍"

After the word was completed, he loosened his grip on her hand and left her side. Meng Changce looked at Shen Lanyue with a deep and cold look, and then left the room directly.

Shen Lanyue just stood there in a daze, looking at the word indifferently, then looking up at the receding figure.

Fanfan, who was outside, walked in anxiously and looked at Shen Lanyue with a puzzled look.

She saw the Marquis walking out of her young lady's room with an unreadable expression on his face, and she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"lady?"

Shen Lanyue put down the brush in her hand and said, "It's okay, the Marquis has something to deal with."

Fanfan was relieved and went to meet him. He saw the words on the desk and asked, "Did the Marquis write this? It's really beautiful."

Shen Lanyue suddenly looked at Fanfan and her pupils shrank.

"Ma'am? What's wrong?"
