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

Shen Lanyue immediately understood what he meant by that sentence. He was teasing her. He really lived up to the image of a leisurely young man who had been surrounded by women.

But she was not a real little girl who knew nothing. She just smiled tenderly at Meng Changce, stretched out her hands, put them around his neck, and got close to him.

She whispered in his ear, "I don't understand what my husband is saying."

Meng Changce saw her leaning on him as if she had no bones. His hands were around her slender waist, which he could hold with just one hand.

He raised his eyebrows and stared at her red lips, then smiled and said, "Then go to sleep, Lanyue!"

Holding Shen Lanyue, he strode towards the bed. The corners of their clothes blended together as they walked, rising and falling in harmony.

The wind outside was blowing particularly hard, making the leaves rustle, covering up the strong spring atmosphere inside the house, and drifting along with it.

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

The things to be taken back to the Shen Mansion were prepared in a grand manner. Shen Lanyue raised her eyelids and looked at Meng Chang, who was sitting in the carriage reading a book. He looked very good.

But won’t you feel dizzy if you read in a carriage?

Shen Lanyue thought so, but she was not stupid enough to ask it out loud.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Shen's house, and the servant outside the gate said to the inside: "My Lord, the Madam has arrived at the gate of Lord Shen's house."

"Yeah." Meng Changce put away the book in his hand and walked out first. After getting off the carriage, he reached out to help Shen Lanyue who followed him out.

The first thing Shen Lanyue saw when she came out of the carriage was the crowd gathered at the door. A dark light flashed quickly in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

He put his hand into Meng Changce's hand, used his help to get off the carriage, and smiled at him.

"father in law."

Shen Ling quickly helped up Meng Changce who was bowing to him. Although it was true that he was her father-in-law, he was the Marquis of Changning, which was a higher position than his, so he could not accept this bow.

But he couldn't refuse it, so he could only give him a half-bow, which would give him face and not be a loss of duty.

Shen Lanyue followed suit and bowed slowly. "Father."

"Good!" Shen Ling was very satisfied with his daughter. At least she was well-educated and well-mannered.

Shen Lanyue smiled at Shen Ling, and saw a person hiding in the crowd from the corner of her eye. It had been a long time since they last met.

But she didn't plan to meet her now. It seemed that she was hiding in the crowd just to create an opportunity for herself to meet Meng Changce by chance.

This trick really doesn't have any novelty, Shen Wanqing!

He withdrew his gaze, as if he had not seen the person, and followed Meng Changce into the mansion with dignity.

When the mansion learned that she would be returning home today, they prepared everything. Now Shen Lanyue is the wife of the Marquis and has to accept gifts from others.

And now that Madam Shen is the second wife, she was not allowed to accept Shen Lanyue's gift in the first place, and she is even less likely to do so now.

So he led the other female relatives to pay a visit to Shen Lanyue.

Shen Ling spoke first, "My little daughter caught a cold when she came back yesterday and is still bedridden. I hope you won't mind it, Lord Marquis."

Shen Lanyue just smiled and passed it off. This was indeed a fair and justifiable way of being biased.

Naturally, he wouldn't care about it when he said it to Meng Changce. Everyone knew that Marquis Changning had previously admired Shen Wanqing.

Even if she, the Marquis' wife, wanted to make a fuss, she couldn't open her mouth to blame after these words were spoken.

"Then let Miss Shen have a good rest."

Shen Lanyue's hand tightly grasped a corner of the lining in her sleeve. Even though she already knew the result, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard his light words.

We were still enjoying each other's company last night, but today we are showing our true feelings to others.

"Father, I want to burn incense for my mother first, and you and the Marquis can chat more."

Shen Ling did have this intention, but he couldn't speak first now. After all, the Marquis was the boss.

Meng Changce glanced at her delicate eyebrows and a subtle light flashed in his eyes. He didn't like the distant yet decent smile on her face.

But no matter what he was thinking, he would not lose face for his wife, so he nodded to her.

Shen Lanyue led his men out and returned to the ancestral hall in the mansion.

After Shen Lanyue lit a stick of incense for her mother, she stayed for a few minutes and then left.

When she saw Fanfan's figure at the door, she knew that she had found the person she asked her to look for.

Shen Lanyue waved away the other maids who wanted to follow her, and made the excuse that she wanted to be alone for a while, and let Fanfan take her to a corner of the corridor in the front yard.

"If our young lady didn't look down on Marquis Changning, she would have asked us to meet her now!"

"Everyone knows that Marquis Changning likes our young lady. She must have used some despicable means to get this position, otherwise how could he be interested in her?"

Shen Lanyue stopped Fanfan who wanted to rush forward, and locked her eyes on Shen Wanqing who was surrounded by two people. She was indulging the maid beside her to say these things, or rather, she could not say these things.

But if she wanted to hear these insulting words, she could only hear them from the maidservant around her, which would make her very enjoyable.

"Alright, you can't tell anyone outside about these things. Big sister is the eldest daughter of the mansion, and now she is the wife of the Marquis. If someone hears it, I can't protect you."

Although Shen Wanqing said this with a scolding tone, there was not a trace of blame in her tone.

The maids who served her understood her very well. They had been serving her since they were young. How could they not tell whether she was really angry or not?

The maid in green clothes was better at guessing Shen Wanqing's thoughts than the other two. She walked up to her ear and whispered, "Miss, the Marquis still has you in his heart. Look, he heard that you were sick and sent someone to bring you some medicine."

"If you don't want to go and pay your respects, then you don't have to go. In my opinion, when the Marquis comes over, you can talk to him. The Marquis is still on your side!"

Shen Wanqing obviously liked hearing such words. She tapped the maid's forehead with her finger and smiled.

"Miss, I think the eldest lady is inferior to you in everything." Another maidservant flattered, not to be outdone.

The three of them didn't notice that Fanfan had rushed over, and they pushed the maid to the ground.

"Fanfan, open your mouth for her." Shen Lanyue walked slowly behind and instructed Fanfan sternly.

Fanfan had long been unable to hold back the urge to slap the two maids. His anger had already risen to his forehead, and this time he slapped them mercilessly.

With a crisp "pa" sound, the maid was knocked to the ground, and her face immediately became red and swollen, which showed that Fan Fan used all his strength.

Shen Wanqing looked at the maid on the ground with an unpleasant expression, and then looked at Shen Lanyue's condescending expression and held back her anger.

With her usual delicate tone, she said, "Sister, what do you mean by this? I didn't know that the first thing you did when you came back today was to teach my maid a lesson."

"Did my sister do something wrong?" Shen Wanqing covered her chest with her hands and looked delicate, as if she had really been bullied.

Shen Lanyue looked at her acting like this and really felt that she was very pitiful. A woman who would always rely on a man, her value would always be just that little.

"I didn't know my sister had such an ignorant and unruly maid around her, and someone who was maliciously trying to sow discord between us sisters."

"I just don't know what her purpose is, right, sister?" Shen Lanyue asked her with a smile, but she emphasized the word "sister".
