The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Shen Runing's idea is not without reason.

How could a mere groom have the guts to covet the general's wife?

The fact that he was able to sneak into Wei Yun's room on the wedding night was either with Hao Hengshan's tacit consent or because he was forced by Hao Hengshan.

Wei Yun shook his head and laughed as he did so.

"Impossible, how is this possible?"

"At the very least, he picked me out of the crowd."

"The groom must be coveting me, that's why he..."

Wei Yun couldn't go on because she couldn't justify herself.

From time to time, a few chirping birds flew past the window, making the house unusually quiet.

Wei Yun was a bunch of flowers that had been kept in a greenhouse, a flower that suddenly experienced a storm.

Shen Runing looked at Wei Yun and spoke. For her and Luo Mian, Wei Yun was an important chess piece to bring down Hao Hengshan.

"After your wedding night, did General Hao have any physical contact with you again?"

Wei Yun looked up when he heard the voice, his eyes like dead water.

"Never..."

"What about the other ladies?"

Wei Yun was silent for a while.

"Never."

In my heart, love and hate for Hao Hengshan were fiercely intertwined.

After so many years of getting along, Wei Yun's feelings for Hao Hengshan had already reached a pathological level.

Shen Runing just smiled and didn't say anything. For things like this, it would be much more useful for him to realize it himself than for others to say a thousand words.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, which Chunzhi thought was very soft.

"Qiuzhi, this hairpin is so precious! Let me see it!"

"Did Yunshui give it to you?"

"I knew it was!"

Qiu Zhi replied in a low voice: "Hey, don't grab it!"

"Wow, this hairpin is so precious! As expected, Yunshui is willing to give up everything for the one he loves!"

"Keep your voice down, the young lady is still in the study!"

"Let's go, let's go far away..."

……

Wei Yun raised his eyes.

"He never seems to have given me anything."

"Half a lifetime has passed, and now I look back. Along the way, I have never been loved by him, not even a little bit..."

……

Ruifu Palace.

“Mother, mother!”

"The Lord of Fangyi County is here!"

Luo Yuyao ran and shouted: "No, no, the imperial aunt is here!"

"I also brought a lot of food!"

Concubine Jing hurriedly stood up and went to the door to greet him, with Luo Xunbei following closely behind her.

"Oh Ning'er, what wind brings you here?" Concubine Jing was very happy to see Shen Runing. Putting aside everything else, Concubine Jing liked Shen Runing very much.

Shen Runing smiled and said, "I'm too tired to stay in the mansion, so I thought I'd go out for a walk. It's been a long time since I came to visit the Imperial Concubine, so I prepared some things to come and bother you."

Concubine Jing took Shen Runing's hand and walked into the room.

"What are you bothering me about? I'm so happy you're here!"

After paying his respects, Luo Xunbei left tactfully, while Luo Yuyao ran away with a pile of food.

Only Shen Runing and Concubine Jing were left in the room.

Shen Runing looked around.

"I still remember the first time I came to the Queen's palace. So many months have passed in a flash."

Concubine Jing took a small portion of the food from Luo Yuyao's hand and was eating it intently.

"It was winter then, and it was freezing cold."

Shen Runing looked at Concubine Jing and smiled.

"Thank you, Madam Royal Concubine, for speaking for me at the banquet earlier."

Imperial Concubine Jing's hand holding the pancake suddenly froze. Sure enough, Shen Runing's visit this time was not just for 'boredom'.

Then he looked normal.

"Oh, what are you thanking me for? I've known you for such a long time, don't I know what kind of person you are?"

Shen Runing also picked up a piece of cake and slowly put it into his mouth.

"If the Sixth Prince and Noble Youran didn't know each other, would you still speak for me then?"

The cake in Concubine Jing's hand fell directly onto the table.

She knew Shen Runing would ask her, but she didn't expect Shen Runing to be so direct.

Shen Runing raised her hand and took the pancake aside.

"This piece is dirty, let's change it with a new one." After saying that, he took another piece from the plate and put it in Concubine Jing's hand.

Concubine Jing took it and smiled at Shen Runing.

"The Sixth Prince and Noble Youran were not very familiar with each other, and they were almost strangers to each other."

"I'm speaking for you because of the friendship between us. Nothing else matters."

Shen Runing picked up the piece of pastry that she had not finished eating.

"Luo Mosheng knows about the Sixth Prince and Noble Lady Youran, so why don't I know about it?"

Alas... I can't continue to play it safe...

So Concubine Jing spread her hands.

"Oh, yes, yes, I did want to ask you for help with this matter, but..."

"But didn't the noble You Ran die..."

"It just ended there."

After saying this, Concubine Jing looked at Shen Runing.

"By the way, I thought carefully about the first question you asked."

"Even if nothing happened between the two of them, I would still speak for you."

"Who made me fall in love with you, a quirky little girl, at first sight?"

Shen Runing tried hard to capture every change in Concubine Jing's expression, but... Concubine Jing was sincere and there was not the slightest sign of abnormality.

Shen Runing's purpose of coming this time is far more than this.

"I often hear Luo Mian mention the late emperor and the late queen. Your Majesty, you have been in the palace for a long time. Can you tell me about them?"

Imperial Concubine Jing wiped her hands and said, "They are two rare people from ancient times to the present who are truly qualified to wear the dragon robe and the phoenix robe."

The air was filled with the sweet smell of cakes, and Concubine Jing's thoughts drifted back to the past.
