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

Originally, Li Wenxuan and Sun Shuhao had already set a date for their wedding, but they happened to encounter a corruption case in the capital. Emperor Yingde was furious, and the Sun family also secretly knew the emperor's thoughts, so Prime Minister Sun went to the palace overnight and postponed the wedding date.

Now that the corruption case has been concluded and the New Year is approaching, Emperor Yingde decided on this month with a stroke of his pen.

All the things were ready, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was just waiting for Emperor Yingde's order to get started.

Different new things happen in the capital every day. The third prince is currently in the spotlight after his corruption case, and now he is going to marry the eldest daughter of the Sun family, which has suddenly become a new hot topic.

"I heard that the Third Prince's wife is not only beautiful as a fairy, but also of noble status. She is also a model of virtue and kindness. She and the Third Prince are a perfect match made in heaven."

"Who is more beautiful than the one from the Shen family?"

"That must be the one from the Shen family. You haven't seen her. I met her briefly and she was a real fairy." A man in the teahouse said, raising his neck.

Someone immediately came to sneer and said, "What's the use of being beautiful? Haven't you heard about the previous uproar over the Lantern Festival? She is just an embroidered pillow."

"That's right, the future third princess is so noble!"

"..."

For a while, the two groups were arguing with red faces and thick necks, completely unaware that in the carriage not far away, Shen Wanqing's beautiful eyes were blazing with anger and her teeth were clenched tightly.

Shen Wanqing's chest was heaving with anger, and she didn't know who to talk to about her frustration.

"They are all unruly people! How dare these lowly people talk about me... It's simply..."

Xiping lowered her head and dared not speak.

Shen Wanqing turned her head to look at her, forced a smile and asked: "Why, why do you also agree with what they said?"

Xiping fell to her knees with a thud, her knees hitting the wooden board with a loud noise.

"Slave, I really don't have any."

Seeing that she had no sympathy at all, Shen Wanqing lifted her chin and said, "You dare not think about it or you can't think about it."

Xi Ping shuddered, came out of her hands, lowered her head, and answered carefully: "I have been serving the young lady since I was a child. Now it is an unparalleled honor to be able to serve the young lady by her side. I will never think of the young lady like this."

Shen Wanqing raised her eyes and chuckled.

He slowly raised her arm, pulled her up and said, "Okay, I was just joking. I know you are definitely on my side, so don't kneel down at every turn in the future."

Xiping lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes." But she knew that what Shen Wanqing said were all lies, and there was no way she would not kneel next time.

"Okay, let's go back home. Since those people like to gossip behind our backs, let's teach them a lesson."

As she finished her words, Shen Wanqing's carriage left the place.

At the same time, a shadow that had been watching her disappeared at the same place as she left.

…………

After Shen Lanyue checked all the gifts that would be sent to the Third Prince's Mansion in the future and had them sent to the warehouse on the side, Fanfan leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Shen Lanyue lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded to Fanfan.

"Madam, Chen Xiaoniang's people are here to tell you that they want to come and see you." The servant outside the door ran over to deliver the message.

Shen Lanyue paused and frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't say it."

"Has anyone treated the young ladies in the mansion badly recently?"

The waiter knelt down immediately and said, "Madam, absolutely not. Everyone in the mansion follows your rules, and we dare not make any mistakes. Please understand."

Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed. Since it was not a matter of the mansion, it must be something that the Queen Mother had instructed Chen to do.

Chen Qiang was a member of the Empress's family. She was granted to the palace by Emperor Yingde through the Empress. She was usually well-behaved. Since she said that she didn't like to be disturbed by other people in the palace, they didn't make any trouble.

"Go and invite her." Shen Lanyue ordered. She still had to give the Queen face.

"Yes."

When Chen Qian came over, Shen Lanyue was already sitting on a high seat, leisurely and naturally picking up the teacup and drinking.

As soon as Chen Qian saw Shen Lanyue, she greeted her politely: "My lady, all is well."

Shen Lanyue smiled faintly, "Get up." Then she asked someone to bring tea to Chen Qian.

She did not immediately ask her what was the matter. She was the mistress, and since she was the one who came to her on her own initiative, there was no need for Shen Lanyue to speak first.

Chen Qian greeted her and asked for her respect, which was a sign of respect she had to give to Shen Lanyue as a person in a higher position.

Seeing that Shen Lanyue had no intention of asking her any questions, Chen Qian was unable to keep the smile on her face for a moment.

There was no mistress in the Changning Marquis' Mansion before. Because she came from the palace, she was respected by everyone in the backyard and was the boss in everything.

Even Yu Xiaoniang, the most favored and beautiful girl in the mansion, was better than himself.

But ever since the real lady Shen Lanyue appeared, she had to stay away. She knew in her heart that she was a pawn, but the huge gap was really unacceptable to her.

Now Shen Lanyue gave her a further warning, causing her smile to freeze in an instant.

But she had to speak up again: "Madam, I heard that the Third Prince is going to get married soon, and he has invited you this time. I had a good sister in the Third Prince's mansion before, and I miss her so much that I want you to take me with you, so that I can fulfill my wish."

She smiled flatteringly and there was a hint of tears in her words.

Shen Lanyue just sneered in her heart, her facial expression didn't change at all, it was a calm and just the right amount of indifference.

Although she pretended to be humble on her face, her eyes were full of desire.

The hostility in Shen Lanyue's eyes flashed away, but a trace of surprise slowly emerged in her pupils and she said: "It's really not easy to be friends for many years."

Chen Qian was delighted to hear this, thinking that Shen Lanyue had already agreed to her.

But she heard Shen Lanyue's cold voice, questioning her word by word indifferently.

"You are a concubine without any status. What identity do you have to go to the Third Prince's Mansion? Or what is your purpose and who do you want to meet?"

Chen Qian stood up angrily and said, "Madam, what purpose can I have? It's just..."

"Oh, do you think I will believe you? Besides, you are from the palace. If something goes wrong, where will I put the Marquis?"

"concubine……"

Shen Lanyue interrupted her, her words were full of indifference: "Just pretend I didn't hear about what happened today, you can go back."

Chen Qian wanted to say something, but she saw Shen Lanyue on the high seat maintaining a calm and cold expression, with sharp eyes staring at her.

"Yes."

She was afraid that Shen Lanyue would really discover her purpose, so she could only bow her head and leave obediently.

Shen Lanyue watched her leaving from behind, and could probably guess that there really was such a person she was talking about, but that was not her purpose.

Behind Chen Zhao is the Queen, and the Queen can probably find out what happened between the Third Prince and Shen Wanqing. I'm afraid she wants Chen Zhao to lure Sun Shuhao and others to discover this.

Even if it is discovered later that Chen Qiang did it on purpose, it can be blamed on the Changning Marquisate, killing three birds with one stone.

On the wedding day, having an affair with another woman was a slap in the face of the Sun family.

They gave themselves a new idea.
