Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 16: Cooking without Rice
Shen Zhili said it simply. In fact, he went to the palace gate at dawn, thinking that the morning court had already ended and the emperor would be free to see him.
But when the message was passed in, it was like a drop in the ocean, with no response at all!
He shamelessly made the palace gatekeeper run away twice. At first, people saw that he was a marquis after all, and he stuffed a fat purse with a smile on his face.
But when he came back from his second errand, his face looked much worse, and he just said that the emperor was too busy to see anyone.
Shen Zhili was unwilling to accept this. The emperor had always taken good care of the Shen family. He had just returned from Anping, so he should be summoned.
But now he has run to the palace gate by himself, why is the emperor still not there?
"Why would His Majesty summon you, a minor official of the sixth rank, when you return to the capital? It's extremely difficult for a foreign official of the fourth or fifth rank to see the emperor!"
The guard guarding the palace gate changed his expression, waved his hand, and told Shen Zhili to go and play!
All officials were leaving the palace at that time. Shen Zhili's face turned red with embarrassment and he wished he could hide within the palace walls!
"What are you doing in the palace?" Old Madam Shen asked, her son used to consult her about everything.
But now, if she doesn't ask, he won't tell. If she asks, he still covers up!
How infuriating!
Shen Zhili was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to show it too much. If he made my mother throw a tantrum, he would be the one who would suffer:
"Xie Feiwan has gone too far and ruined the Marquis' Mansion bestowed by the Emperor. I will go to the Emperor and sue her for disrespecting the monarch!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen perked up: "Don't worry, son. You can't go in. Let me change my clothes and go first! If you can't see the emperor, you can always see the empress. If not, I can still have a say in the palace ladies! We must punish that shrew!"
After saying that, Old Madam Shen turned around hastily and was about to go back to Jifu Hall.
Shen Zhili quickly stopped her: "Mother, please take a rest. It's too hot outside. It won't be too late to go tomorrow!"
Old Madam Shen looked outside the house and saw the heat rising. The leaves of the two remaining trees in the yard had all drooped.
"My son is right. Let's ask the kitchen to make some ice cream so we can cool down when we eat!"
Shen Zhili had a gloomy look on his face. He was really talking about something irrelevant!
Now in the Marquis' Mansion, you have to make your own water, so where is there anyone who can make ice cream?
"Mother, where are the people in the mansion? Where did they go?"
Shen Yujun had just gotten up. According to past practice, there should be 18 breakfast dishes in her room.
But today, there is not even a pot of cold tea on the table!
Shen Yujun was very angry at her personal maid Cuiyu, but the little girl just cried after being scolded!
"Didn't you see it yesterday? Xie Feiwan took them all away!" When Old Lady Shen heard her daughter yelling, she immediately realized that no one in the house would make ice cream anymore, so she sat down dejectedly.
"She used to be so generous, why is she so stingy now?" Shen Yujun said angrily, with her hands on her hips.
Looking around, the mansion was extremely destitute and he could not stand to stay there any longer.
"I'm going to live at the little princess's manor and won't be back for the next two days!"
Shen Yujun started to run. Old Madam Shen wanted to stop him and say something, but she was not as quick as a young man.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yujun disappeared!
A moment later, a scream pierced the sky above the mansion: "Where is my horse? Where is my carriage? Why is the stable empty?"
Shen Zhili sat there without moving. He had known for a long time that his sister could not leave!
Ordinary wealthy people can only rely on mules for transportation.
When Shen Zhili was in Anping, he traveled in a mule cart.
If there was no Xie Feiwan, how could there be horses in the Marquis' Mansion?
I can't even afford to feed a mule!
"Zhili, marry Lan'er as soon as possible. Mother doesn't want to live the same life as before!"
Old Madam Shen shuddered just thinking about how shabby her life was in the past!
"Son knows that mother gave son the land deed left by Xie Feiwan, and son went to exchange it for cash to prepare dowry!"
Old Madam Shen dodged her gaze and stood up tremblingly. Just as she was about to pretend to faint, she was exposed by Shen Zhili:
"If mother wants to keep the title deed, that's fine. I can marry into the Xie family!"
"Asshole!" Old Madam Shen punched her son on the back:
"In order to marry that eloped woman, you actually threatened your mother? If you want to marry into my family, then go ahead and do it. I won't stop you!"
Old Madam Shen quickly stepped over the threshold, stood in the corridor, raised her head and howled:
"Ancestors of the Shen family, look at your offspring. He is so unvirtuous and unfilial. If you had known when you gave birth to him, you should have thrown him into the toilet!"
After splashing for a while, he saw Shen Zhili still sitting there without moving, but he himself was sweating profusely.
Old Madam Shen wiped her forehead, held Cuihong's hand and ran away:
"Let's go back to the house and have some ice cream!"
When everything was quiet, Shen Zhili moved to the couch in front of the window and collapsed.
How did a good life turn out like this?
"Have you heard that the Marquis' Mansion is going to marry a new bride?"
"I heard about it too. I saw Xie's moving the day before yesterday. What a grand scene!"
"That's for sure. When Xie married into the Marquis's Mansion, her dowry was at least seven or eight miles, if not ten miles. She was not inferior to other daughters of powerful families!"
"I watched at the door for a long time, and even the bluestone slabs were pried up and taken away! Wow, tut tut, this is really a strange thing!"
"What's so strange about this?" The bystander sneered:
"Before Xie married into the family, the Marquisate couldn't even afford to support servants. They've become wealthy over the years, and you can imagine who they rely on. Since they're getting a divorce, why should they let the new bride enjoy the privilege?"
"But women have always been praised for being virtuous and obedient. I have never seen a woman who is so calculative!"
"Bah! No wonder you took the exam for twenty years and you're not even a scholar! You stink sour, don't come to my restaurant to drink anymore! Get out! Get out! Get out!"
"Hey, I spent fifty cents to buy the wine, why are you kicking me out?"
"I'm chasing people like you away. Take the money away. I don't want the stinky money that has been pickled in a stinky jar!"
There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant, and some people applauded loudly:
"Ms. Chen is so courageous!"
There was a lot of noise in the restaurant, and the shrewish proprietress threw money onto the street, pushed out the people she didn't like, clapped her hands, and went upstairs with a twisted waist!
The diners below only cheered and flattered, and no one jumped up to refute.
"Why didn't you tell me? You should have brought me with you the day before yesterday!" Madam Chen entered an elegant room, poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp as soon as she sat down!
"Slow down!" Xie Feiwan was unable to stop her. He could only watch the beauty in front of him, her cheeks flushed pink, her eyes moving, and her charm rising!
"I'm not the eldest prince, your trick won't work on me!" Xie Feiwan knew too well what kind of temper Chen had. She was sure that she would pretend to be drunk again and force her to answer questions about the divorce!
Unexpectedly, Madam Chen said nothing, but just blinked her eyes and tears as big as beans fell down like pearls that had fallen off the string!
Xie Feiwan immediately panicked, stood up to wipe the beauty's tears, and coaxed:
"What's wrong? Stop crying, or the eldest prince will chop me to pieces."
"Don't mention that annoying guy!" Madam Chen wiped her face, raised her head and opened her almond-shaped eyes angrily:
"Tell me, is Shen Zhili ungrateful? Is he forcing you to divorce? I'll chop him up with a knife right now!"
Having said that, he stood up and rushed out!
Xie Feiwan and Qinglin pulled hard and finally pinned the tigress down!
You know, if they disagreed, Madam Chen would dare to fight with the eldest prince!
