The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

The Marquis would not let her meet guests for no reason. There must be some unspeakable secret, and she must find out.

"Auntie, you are a concubine, and according to the rules you cannot go to the front hall."

Nanny Sun, who was following her, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking nervously to persuade her.

If they don't persuade her, once the Marquis finds out, Auntie will certainly be fine, but they, the servants, will be in trouble.

Zheng's face turned cold instantly. Concubines were not qualified to go to the main hall, and this was against the rules.

She knew it better than anyone else, and that was why she didn't want to hear these words. Was this a mockery of her?

Why can Lin do it but she can’t? Just because she is a concubine!

He turned around and glared at her, "If you keep talking, I'll pull out your tongue!"

"It's the old slave who talked too much!"

Nanny Sun lowered her head in fear, knowing that she could not persuade him and could only accept defeat in her heart. They, the servants, would be implicated again.

lobby.

A man in black clothes sat in the first seat. Shen Jiyuan stood beside him and personally served him tea and water with a cordial smile on his face, which showed that this man had an extraordinary status.

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness Prince Chen was coming, and I was unable to greet him in person. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

Shen Jiyuan respectfully served the tea, feeling overjoyed.

Who could have thought that the extremely noble Prince Chen would visit the Yong'an Marquis Mansion? It really brings honor to our humble home.

"No need to be polite."

Mu Chenye spoke indifferently, his voice was cold and distant, as if to keep people at a distance.

He took the teacup but did not drink it.

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Chen just returned to Kyoto yesterday and came to my residence today. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Shen Jiyuan was flattered by this.

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness Prince Chen is of noble status and he normally never receives guests. It is something he would never dare to dream of that he could condescend to come to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Could it be that the prince was impressed by his talent?

Although he held a title over the years, he had no real power and the position he held was just an honorary one. He had long wanted to realize his ambitions, but had no way to do so.

The arrival of His Royal Highness Prince Chen is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Everyone in the Jin Dynasty knew that His Royal Highness Prince Chen commanded a large number of troops, held an important position, and had a deep brotherly relationship with Your Majesty.

As long as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen likes someone, he can gain important positions with just a few words.

Therefore, even though the Prince of Chen was not in the capital during these years, there were still many people who "missed" him.

Now that Prince Chen has come to the Marquis' Mansion on his own initiative, there must be a place where he can be used. As long as he behaves well in front of His Highness, getting rid of the Shangshu Mansion will be just around the corner!

"I happen to have some questions about the security of the capital, and I would like to ask the Marquis of Yong'an for advice."

Mu Chenye put down the unfinished teacup and said seriously.

After these words came out, Shen Jiyuan was stunned, and the excitement in his heart subsided, and he stammered.

"I am not responsible for the security of the capital, so I am not aware of this..."

As he spoke further and further, his voice became softer and softer, and even his back felt wet.

He didn't know why, but when he met the gaze of His Royal Highness Prince Chen, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"It seems that I have found the wrong person."

Mu Chenye's voice was indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.

But the calmer it was, the more uneasy Shen Jiyuan felt.

I wanted to perform well, but I couldn't answer a single question. It was really embarrassing.

Just when Prince Chen was about to leave in disappointment with him, he suddenly heard a voice coming from above his head.

"I wonder if the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an is at home?"

"I wonder if the Marquis is asking about... Shen Tangan?"

Shen Jiyuan asked tentatively, his heart instantly rising to his throat. Could it be that the rebellious girl had offended His Royal Highness Prince Chen outside?

Is asking about the public security in Gyeonggi Province just an excuse and the real purpose of going to the door to punish the criminals?

His legs went weak at the thought of this and he cursed the rebellious girl again in his heart, asking why she had to offend the King of Chen when she could offend anyone else.

"I remember that the Marquis of Yong'an only had one legitimate daughter. Could it be false?"

Unexpectedly, when Mu Chenye heard this, his tone instantly turned cold, and the look he gave him became a bit secretive.

"Yes, there is only one legitimate daughter. I will have someone call her over right away!"

Shen Jiyuan's scalp suddenly went numb and he quickly lowered his head for fear of being discovered. He hurriedly asked someone to call Shen Tangan.

Although I don't know why His Royal Highness Prince Chen wants to see Shen Tangan, but judging from his current reaction, it must be the rebellious girl who offended His Royal Highness!

It was all his fault for being too soft-hearted and not exercising more restraint on her. If he had been more ruthless and locked her up in the mansion, this could have been avoided.

When she arrives, ask her to apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Chen immediately. His Royal Highness has always been kind-hearted and will not implicate him.

As soon as Shen Tangan walked into the front hall, he saw a handsome man sitting at the first seat. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked very dignified. His face was as delicate and flawless as jade, without any flaws.

The man had a cold expression, and even when he was sitting, he couldn't hide his noble temperament. He looked like a god who had fallen from heaven to earth, and people dared not look directly at him.

Shen Tangan stared with her eyes wide open. In her entire life, she had never seen anyone so perfect.

Mu Chenye felt a little impatient being stared at. He frowned slightly and looked up at the woman opposite him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She was wearing only a plain dress, and her long black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. A few strands of hair hung by her ears and fluttered in the wind.

With cherry lips and a beautiful nose, she is still incredibly beautiful even without any makeup, like a fairy from the sky or an elf among flowers, walking towards her slowly.

"Rebellious girl! Why don't you kneel down and apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Chen!"

The beautiful scene was interrupted by a loud shout, and Shen Tangan frowned in annoyance.

Her father made her kneel all day long, either apologizing to this person or making amends to that person.

What evil thing did she do?

Seeing that the handsome man's good mood was completely destroyed, he walked up to Shen Jiyuan and his tone became a little colder.

"Father, what did your daughter do wrong again?"

There was so much helplessness in her words, but they had a different meaning to Mu Chenye's ears.

Everyone said that the daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate was arrogant, domineering and rude, but according to his investigation, this did not seem to be the case.

She was kind and generous, often helping beggars and orphans. She had never done anything harmful, but she had a straightforward temper and didn't know how to restrain herself.

Such a person, even if he did not leave a good reputation, should not have so many stigmas. Therefore, he sent people to investigate the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in depth. The results were unexpected, and he even discovered some interesting things.

Although Marquis Yong'an was an official appointed by the imperial court, he was suspected of favoring his concubine over his wife.

According to the laws of the Central Jin Dynasty, those who favored their concubines and killed their wives would be punished with twenty strokes of the cane and their concubines would be handed over to their wives for disposal.

As an official appointed by the imperial court, Shen Jiyuan knowingly committed the crime.

Mu Chenye's eyes turned cold, and looking at his attitude towards Shen Tangan, he knew how he usually behaved.

Just ask yourself, which father would not care about his daughter's face in front of outsiders, let alone fail to protect her at all?

"You ask your father? How would I know what you did outside?"

Shen Jiyuan suppressed his anger. If His Highness had not suddenly arrived, he would have beaten this rebellious girl.

"This subject greets His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

Although Shen Tangan was angry, he still had all the necessary etiquette and manners.

When I heard the name of the person in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It turned out that he was His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen who caused a sensation on the street yesterday.

No wonder he could charm the whole city, young and old, women and children. Such a graceful person, coupled with his many achievements, even the gods would favor him.
