Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 52: The Lady of the Marquisate Kills the Time-Traveling Girl (27)

After Lu Wenbo sobered up, she hardly remembered what happened last night while she was drunk. Hsieh Su-wei lay beside her, her sleeping face was so beautiful, that was the face Lu Wenbo once loved the most.

The emotions in his eyes were somewhat complicated. He had been with Hsieh Su-wei for six years, but even today, he still couldn't recognize what kind of person she was.

However, he couldn't let Shi Qing make a big deal out of this matter, so he could only ask the eldest prince to suppress it. It was just a matter of a word, and the eldest prince would surely not refuse.

Lu Wenbo stood up and put clothes on Hsieh Su-wei, then left the bedroom.

Shi's parents followed Shi Qing to the house they bought six years ago. Although they only came occasionally in the past few years, they kept the house very clean.

As the benefactor of Shi's father, Shen Qingci was invited to be a guest at the Shi family mansion.

Shi Qing learned from the system that he had put a lot of effort into his father's visit to the capital.

Shen Qingci has a sharp tongue but a good heart, and is not as sickly and difficult to get along with as in the original book.

"I haven't thanked Your Highness for what I did before, and now I owe you a favor again. I feel really guilty."

Shi's father and mother decorated the house and handed the task of entertaining the second prince to Shi Qing.

Shen Qingci took a sip of tea, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were smiling.

"If you wish to repay me, once the storm has subsided, I will ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage. How do you think that is?"

Shi Qing teased, "Your Highness, the difference in status between you and me is too great, this is inappropriate."

In the quiet Pear Garden, there was no one around. Shen Qingci's breath suddenly approached, making her inexplicably like him.

He hugged Shi Qing's waist, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with irresistible determination. This marriage had to happen even if it couldn't.

"What's wrong with that? You can protect Lu Wenbai, who is so fickle, for six years, but I won't."

Shen Qingci pinched Shi Qing's waist with his slender fingers, and his cold lips uttered flattering words.

"Qingqing, I don't care about your second marriage. I know you feel wronged, but I just ask you to look at me, okay? I, Shen Qingci, will only marry you in this life. It was you who broke into my side that night, and you can't escape..."

In an era when men can have three wives and four concubines, Shen Qingci feels that it is nothing for a woman to marry twice. As long as Qingqing has him in her heart, it doesn't matter how long she waits.

Shi Qinghu's mouth corners slightly raised, she hooked her arms around the man's neck and kissed his cheek lightly.

The girl's eyes were cunning, "If it takes three to five years, Your Highness, are you willing to wait?"

"Yes, I am willing."

After that day, the relationship between the two of them progressed by leaps and bounds. Shi Qing did not explicitly agree, but she did not refuse Shen Qingci's approach.

The Shi family's parents had worked hard for many years and could see what the second prince was thinking, but since Shi Qing had just divorced, they did not point the matter out.

Shen Qingci intends to publicize the affairs of the Lu family.

So he ordered people to stage a play in the streets, which was about a general who lost a battle due to his own mistakes. He didn't want to take responsibility, so he pretended to be dead on the battlefield and actually lived in seclusion with the woman he loved.

Later he returned to the imperial court, forced his original wife to death, and promoted his concubine to be his principal wife.

Although the court ministers had never seen this play, their wives loved watching plays, so they knew a little about it.

And this drama happens to be somewhat similar to what happened in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Therefore, some people speculated about the truth of Lu Wenbai's death and disappearance six years ago, and whether he is now qualified to return to Beijing to inherit the position of the old marquis.

Also, because of the Lu family's scheme against Shi Qing, most people in the court were very disgusted with it.

Emperor Shangwu also heard the news. He originally wanted to use Lu Wenbai, but his reputation was too bad. After careful consideration, he finally gave Lu Wenbai the task of suppressing bandits in Hengzhou, allowing him to atone for his sins.

Lu Wenbai was in need of an opportunity to make a contribution, and thinking that with the eldest prince's help, Xie Shuwei should be fine, so he accepted the mission to suppress the bandits and left the capital with his troops overnight.

But he didn't know that after he left, the capital would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Three days later, everyone gathered outside the court of the Jingzhao prefect, and the three floors inside and outside were filled with people.

When Shi Qing was still the Marquis' wife, she was a kind person. She would do good deeds during festivals and holidays, and the people in the capital all remembered her kindness.

When Hsieh Su-wei arrived in court, she held her back straight and kept building herself up in her mind.

However, she has encountered obstacles everywhere in the past two days. Whether it is the palace or the eldest prince's mansion, she can't ask anyone for help.

Although Lu Shuang'er married the eldest prince, she is now pregnant and naturally cannot take care of the Lu family's affairs. Besides, Lu Shuang'er is unwilling to get involved in muddy water.

However, she suddenly heard the discussion among the crowd, and then a servant said.

"The eldest prince has arrived."

Hsieh Su-wei's heart finally settled down. She knew that her luck would not continue to be bad, and it was time for her to turn things around.

The eldest prince, Shen Mubai, has a very high prestige in the court. He is proficient in almost all the six arts of a gentleman and is a sought-after young man by the noble ladies in the capital.

However, the eldest prince was born out of wedlock, and even though some people speculated that Emperor Shangwu would make him the crown prince, it was just speculation.

Therefore, the eldest prince's position in the court was somewhat awkward, but he had many followers, and Emperor Shangwu had few children.

The second prince was infected with a cold poison, and it seemed that there was no one else to choose for the position of crown prince.

Lord Lin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, is working on a case with the Second Prince Shen Qingci today. It is precisely because of the Second Prince that many noble ladies have been attracted.

Although the second prince died young and had a cold temperament, he had a noble status and was one of the best looking men, a quality that other young men could not even dream of.

Shi's parents and Shi Qing stood beside the court with solemn expressions.

Hsieh Su-wei looked over, feeling a little uneasy.

After everyone arrived, Lord Lin began to try the case.

"Ms. Xie, Marquis Lu's wife is accusing you of secretly hiring someone to kill someone. Do you admit it?"

Xie Shuwei shook her head. "I have never had any conflict with Marquis Lu's wife, so why would she hire someone to kill me?"

Shi Qing said decisively, "Sir, this is the evidence in my hand. It has Xie's own handwriting on it, and it can't be faked."

Lord Lin ordered someone to take the letter from Shi Qing's hand, looked at the handwriting on it, and then looked at the handwriting that Xie Shuwei used when she practiced calligraphy. They were almost exactly the same.

Even the writing habits are exactly the same and cannot be faked.

"The handwriting is exactly the same. It seems that hiring a killer is indeed the truth."

As Lord Lin was about to make a judgment on the matter, he was interrupted by the eldest prince.

"If we only consider the handwriting, wouldn't it be simple for me to let people in the capital imitate the handwriting and then frame her? Madam Lu, are you deliberately confusing right and wrong and trying to bully Xie, who is alone and has no one to rely on?"

Hsieh Su-wei felt very proud in her heart. The eldest prince did not break his oath after all. The Shi family was only an eighth-rank county magistrate. How could they be compared with the eldest prince?

Shi Qing wanted to laugh. He was left with no one to rely on. Shen Mubai appeared at the right time to take care of him.
