Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

"What's there to sympathize with? It's said that the second daughter of the Shen family is completely incompetent. If it weren't for the generous dowry, why would the Wei family agree to such a marriage? Now that the Wei family can marry two women from the Shen family at once, it's not a loss at all."

Amidst the clamor from all around, the eldest master of the Shen family stepped forward to mediate: "My dear in-laws, please be magnanimous. It is common for young people to make mistakes when drinking in the heat of the moment. Learn from this lesson and be more restrained in the future. Please forgive my mistakes."

The second master of the Shen family then echoed, "Uncle, I am Xue'er's father, and naturally I will not let my daughter suffer any loss. I will properly resolve this matter. Please rest assured that my position as the principal wife will not be shaken."

Is this an intentional attempt to sacrifice Shen Yunxiang to explain to Uncle Song?

In a large family, it is not uncommon for unchaste women to be dealt with arbitrarily, but these words still made Shen Muxue feel frightened.

It turns out that in the eyes of the family members, women's lives can be easily exchanged for benefits?

Hearing this, Shen Muxue could no longer bear the chill in her heart, and her teeth began to tremble involuntarily. This group of people was simply crazy.

Glancing at the emperor still standing in the shadows, she quietly moved to his side, tugged at his sleeve, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, can you help me?"

The emperor's eyes turned to his clothes that were being pulled.

Didn’t she refuse to enter the palace with him before?

He also decided to set her free.

But at this moment she appeared here as usual, and her behavior revealed a sense of closeness.

"Go ahead."

Shen Muxue didn't understand the emperor's thoughts, but she still slowly approached. When she looked up, her expression was mixed with fear and sadness: "I just heard what my father said. It seems that in order to appease my uncle, he wants to take some measures against me.

However, my sister is of noble character and she once volunteered to enter the Wei Mansion as a concubine, just to help and support me in the future.

How can such kind relatives be treated unfairly because of this incident?

I beg Your Majesty to send someone to protect my sister tonight, okay?"

After hearing Shen Muxue's request and looking at her sincere expression, the emperor couldn't help but wonder, is this woman really mentally ill?

If she is indeed mentally abnormal, then is her so-called 'liking' for Wei Zixian just a momentary illusion?

With a glimmer of hope, the Emperor began to test the waters: "Since your sister is so virtuous, being a concubine would be a real injustice to her. How about I directly issue an edict and order Wei Zixian to marry her?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Muxue's eyes lit up and she almost blurted out words of agreement.

However, her reason quickly calmed her down. She remembered that she had just sincerely said that she loved Wei Zixian, so how could she show her joy?

The original plan was to use this opportunity to make Wei Zixian mistakenly regard Shen Yunxiang as his wife. When the wedding date was postponed, she would enter the palace and become pregnant with the dragon seed, and then use the emperor's majesty to force Wei Zixian to bear the consequences alone.

Unexpectedly, before reaching a real agreement with the emperor, the imperial edict granting marriage came unexpectedly, which is really gratifying.

Noticing the hesitation on Shen Muxue's face, the emperor felt a dull pain in his heart.

After all, she was reluctant to let go of Wei Zixian.

"Although I can protect her temporarily, I cannot guarantee her safety forever. Only by becoming your official wife can you avoid being plotted against. Have you thought it through, or do you completely disregard your sister's safety?"

"I am very worried about my sister and don't want her to get into any trouble."

The emperor whispered in a low voice, "Only by issuing an imperial decree to grant the marriage can we ensure her safety."

After some careful consideration, Shen Muxue nodded gently in response: "Okay."

This soft promise felt like a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was pressing down on the emperor's heart, and then it instantly turned into a light and soft feather, making him feel comfortable.

The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if his long-cherished wish was about to come true.

In the side room, Uncle Song protested loudly that this marriage was absolutely unacceptable. He completely ignored the persuasion of the two elders of the Shen family and strode away angrily.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Shen Muxue returned to her room, rolling around on the bed with joy. Then, thinking that there might be the emperor's spies in the room, she immediately covered herself with the quilt and pretended to be asleep, laughing quietly in the quilt.

Someone hiding in the shadows reported Shen Muxue's actions to the emperor: "Miss Shen seemed very lost. When she returned to the house, her eyes were red. I saw Miss Shen crying softly under her blanket."

Hearing this, the emperor fell silent.

The impression left by those tearful eyes was still fresh in his mind.

Now you are hiding in your bed crying alone?

Is it because of regret?

How much does she care about Wei Zixian!

"Immediately arrange for guards to ensure the safety of the fourth young lady of the Shen family."

After the spy received the order and left, the emperor paced back and forth anxiously. Time was running out and he was afraid that the night would be too long and he would have more trouble.

Soon after, the imperial edict was drafted.

"When the palace gates open tomorrow, go to the two families and announce the marriage decree."

Only after all the important matters were arranged did the emperor have the leisure to savor the wonderful experience he had before. He needed to come up with a way to make this matter legitimate.

……

In the Shen Mansion, everyone in the Nong Yu Hall was anxiously discussing countermeasures.

The old lady spoke first, "The selection of a concubine for Prince Yongning is imminent. We must quickly make Xue'er the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, otherwise the Queen Mother may choose the daughter of the Pingyang Marquis as her consort."

The elders of the Shen family nodded in agreement. "Everyone understands this. However, given what happened tonight, the Song family will definitely not let this go. If we force this marriage and they refuse to pay the dowry, it will be in vain."

"Second brother, what do you think about this?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the other host sitting in the second seat, after all, this matter involved his two daughters.

After a moment's hesitation, he said firmly, "Now that things have come to this, the only option left is to sacrifice Yunxiang. After all, she is a daughter born to a concubine, so the impact will be limited."

Everyone silently expressed their approval; even the old lady and the head of the Shen family could hardly hide the satisfaction on their faces.

This is undoubtedly the best solution. In fact, they are all worried about what if the second-in-command of the Shen family refuses to give up dealing with Shen Yunxiang.

At this moment, Shen Yunxiang was resting in her room accompanied by her aunt.

She couldn't help but look shy when she imagined that her family might have made a decision to let her join this marriage game.

Aunt Xie, beside her, looked at her beloved daughter with tears in her eyes. "Silly child! What are you still dreaming of a bright future at this moment? With such a scandal, your family will definitely find a suitable home for you, my sweetheart!"

Hearing this, Shen Yunxiang was stunned for a few seconds, "Don't be sad, mother, what if they plan to make me a concubine?"

As a woman who was once a concubine, she was naturally quite familiar with the Shen family.

She wiped her tears and sighed, "Reputation is the most important thing to our family. We would even consider sending you to become a Buddhist nun for the sake of reputation. I'm afraid we're discussing taking extreme measures for you."
