After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"The Marquis's wife is seriously ill, why does the princess need to be busy?" Mrs. Shen laughed dryly and refused quickly.

At this time, Mrs. Shen really regretted inviting such a mother and daughter. The Shen family had been in decline for many years, and now her son had finally made a name for himself, and Mrs. Shen also wanted to show off.

After her son was arranged to marry, everyone said that he was marrying above his station. Although Mrs. Shen did not say it, she was actually very unhappy in her heart. She also wanted to use this banquet to let everyone see her son's ability.

Mrs. Shen originally had a good impression of Zhu Qing'an. She was born beautiful, raised noble, and had a good family background. She was a princess at a young age.

But everything that happened today made Mrs. Shen feel embarrassed.

When a person dislikes another person, he or she will start to find fault with all kinds of things, and even what was once considered to be an advantage will become a disadvantage. This is how Mrs. Shen views Zhu Qing'an now.

"Mrs. Shen, please don't spoil her, or she won't know how to serve her parents-in-law when she marries into the Shen family!" Shui Shiyu said, glancing at the teacup in front of Mrs. Shen. "Qing'an, make a cup of tea for Mrs. Shen!"

When these words were spoken, some noble ladies were stunned with astonishment. They had never seen a mother who wanted her daughter to serve her husband's family before she got married. You know, mothers of daughters who are engaged usually try their best to make their daughters look delicate and noble.

Zhu Qing'an glanced at his mother and found it extremely ridiculous.

Her mother's move was undoubtedly to put her on the fire. If she did not respond, she would be insulting her mother and refusing to listen to her mother's teachings.

But if they heard it, the Shen family would undoubtedly be looked down upon by everyone present.

Zhu Qing'an smiled, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and his smile, full of aggression, disdain and arrogance, made Shui Shiyu suspicious.

"I am the Princess Yongfu, personally conferred by the late emperor. I am of the first rank, with an annual salary of 800 stones and a fiefdom granted by the emperor. May I ask, is there anyone here who is of a higher rank than me and who needs me to serve them tea and water?" Zhu Qing'an's tone was slightly cold, and her eyes, which had originally been charming, were now cold, making her look noble and superior.

Since she was young, her aunt taught Zhu Qing'an not to lose herself because of a man and not to be blinded by so-called love. Under the influence of her aunt, although Zhu Qing'an believed in love, she was not like most women nowadays who got married and obeyed their husbands and completely lost their nature.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone hurriedly murmured "We dare not".

Zhu Qing'an usually treats people gently, so these women have forgotten how favored Princess Yongfu is. Not to mention them, even the ladies in the palace don't dare to let the princess serve tea or water.

Shui Shiyu's face turned red with anger, and Mrs. Shen forced herself to smile, but deep down she felt that Zhu Qing'an was too arrogant. If she married into her Shen family, she wouldn't know how to deal with her.

Although Zhu Qing'an didn't care what others thought, when he saw Madam Shen and remembered that she was Shen Shixin's mother, his expression softened.

Shui Shiyu had never expected that even after she said this, her daughter could still be so eloquent.

This made Shui Shiyu think of the high and mighty Empress Dowager, who was also her former sister-in-law, and was also like this.

In Shui Shiyu's opinion, although her daughter came out of her belly, she looks more like the queen mother.

After this happened, Zhu Qing'an felt that her good mood was gone. She found an excuse to leave the Shen Mansion to avoid arguing with her mother again and being laughed at by others.

But Zhu Qing'an didn't know that as soon as she left, her good mother started to make up stories and criticize her behind her back.

Seeing that Shui Shiyu still had something to say, Mrs. Shen was afraid that other noble ladies would hear something they shouldn't hear, so she invited Shui Shiyu into the hall and asked several maids to guard outside.

"I apologize for the poor hospitality today, Madam Hou, for your forgiveness!" Mrs. Shen sat with Shui Shiyu and spoke politely.

After hearing this, Shui Shiyu didn't even smile. She seldom attended banquets, and even if she did, she looked like she didn't like to talk much. If she was just an ordinary lady, she would have been criticized long ago.

"Mrs. Shen is not a good host, it's my daughter who is ignorant!"

Mrs. Shen didn't know how to respond to these words, and felt that no matter what she said, it would be rude.

"I'm doing this for your own good, Madam Shen. My daughter has been raised by the Empress Dowager since she was a child. Not only is she arrogant, but she's also domineering. She doesn't even care about me, her mother, and spends all day making friends with the concubines, illegitimate children, and daughters in the mansion. I'm also afraid that once she marries into the Shen family, she'll insist on having her own way, and it'll be difficult for you, Madam Shen!" Shui Shiyu's expression showed just the right amount of worry.

As soon as these words were spoken, the polite smile on Mrs. Shen's face froze.

After the imperial decree granting the marriage, although Mrs. Shen was happy that her son could marry the princess, she was also not without concerns. Now that the boy's own mother said so, Mrs. Shen became even more worried.

Marrying a girl like this, not to mention establishing her authority as a mother-in-law, she would probably have to be humble and subservient. Just thinking about it made Mrs. Shen feel uncomfortable all over.

"This... is a princess after all, there's nothing we can do about it!" Mrs. Shen looked at Shui Shiyu for help.

Shui Shiyu patted the back of Madam Shen's hand. This gesture made Madam Shen flattered. Everyone knew that the wife of Marquis Wen'an was very noble.

"No matter how much she loves the Queen Mother, even if she is a princess, you are her mother-in-law. How can you disrespect your mother-in-law in this world? Madam Shen, you must act like a mother-in-law, otherwise she will look down on you before she even enters the house! Don't you think so?"

Mrs. Shen laughed dryly, but took Shui Shiyu's words to heart.

"This...is not good. If Marquis Wen'an knew..."

"Don't worry, I'm on Madam Shen's side. We also hope that the two children will be well. I hope Qing'an can temper his temper!"

With Shui Shiyu's words, Mrs. Shen no longer had any worries. After all, even the man's own mother said so.

Shui Shiyu left the Shen Mansion with satisfaction. As soon as he walked out of the door, he found that the imperial carriage he had taken when he came was gone. Instead, an ordinary carriage from the Wen'an Marquis Mansion was parked at the door of the Shen Mansion.

Shui Shiyu was very angry. She had long been accustomed to traveling in the imperial carriage.

"Madam, it's getting late!" Aunt Banxia urged, looking a little panicked.

"When you have time, please come to the Shen Mansion often. I still have many things to ask you!" Madam Shen stood outside the mansion and personally delivered Shui Shiyu to the carriage.

The carriage curtain closed, and the intimate smile on Madam Shen's face disappeared completely. She said directly to the maid beside her, "Go and invite the young master here!"

After Shen Shixin finished entertaining the guests and put away the Hui ink that Zhu Qing'an had given him in the study, he heard his mother asking him to come over.

As soon as I entered my mother's yard, I saw that her mother looked worried.

"What's wrong with mother?" Shen Shixin asked hurriedly.
