The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry
Chapter 24 Eavesdropping
The dark corner of the eaves.
A man and a woman stood opposite each other.
Wu Minke handed over the sachet in her hand, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Prince, this is the sachet I embroidered myself. Please accept it."
Zhou Jinlin took the sachet with his slender fingers. There was a smile on the man's handsome face, but a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will definitely wear it well."
"It's not hard. Ke'er is willing to do anything for the prince."
Wu Minke looked at the man in front of her, her heart filled with sweetness.
She was originally just an ordinary daughter of the Wu clan. Although her surname was Wu, she was far away from the old lady's branch. Her family was poor and her life was difficult.
She was also lucky. Five years ago, the head of the Wu family wanted to select a woman from the family to send to the Marquis' Mansion to accompany the old lady, in order to remind the old lady to promote more men in the Wu family.
She had just turned eleven that year, and the head of the Wu family sent her to the Marquis' Mansion because of her good character and pretty appearance.
Although she had no worries about food and clothing these years, she was like a transparent person in the mansion. The old lady had a daughter and a granddaughter, so how could she look down on her?
Even when she reached marriageable age, no one cared.
She used to be extremely anxious, because she knew that the wealth of the Marquis' Mansion was nothing but a passing cloud to her, and only by getting married could she truly find her home.
But now, she has already regarded the Marquis' Mansion as her own home.
"Prince, when will you tell the old lady about us? Ke'er is already sixteen and we really can't wait any longer." Wu Minke said anxiously.
She had given her body to Zhou Jinlin on her coming-of-age night. Over the past year, Zhou Jinlin had been able to enter her yard as if he were in his own house. She had long been his.
Although Zhou Jinlin made a promise to her, she was still very uneasy. If this matter was discovered, she would be drowned.
Zhou Jinlin heard this, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he still said soothingly: "Didn't I say that after this prince gets married, I will take you as my concubine."
Zhou Jinlin looked at her eyes full of dependence and sneered in his heart.
It was just for fun, to feel the excitement, but he actually took it seriously.
A woman like this who comes from a poor family and is content with being humiliated is not even worthy of being a maid, yet she still dreams of becoming a concubine.
"Since this prince has said he will marry you, you should just wait patiently. Don't always harbor my interest."
Wu Minke was afraid of angering her, so she said softly, "Ke'er understands. Ke'er will wait for the prince to marry her."
"You need to be obedient and don't cause trouble." Zhou Jinlin said lightly.
Wu Minke lowered her eyes, "Yes, Ke'er knows."
"Then you go back first. I'll go in later to avoid suspicion."
Wu Minke should be.
After she walked away, Zhou Jinlin stroked the sachet and chuckled.
He raised his hand, tore the sachet in his hand into pieces, threw it into the wind, and strode away.
Seeing that everyone had left, Shen Qionghua came out.
She found it hard to believe what she heard.
She remembered her previous life, and Zhou Minke died not long after.
Although the Marquis' Mansion blocked the news, she still heard some rumors while living there at the time.
It is said that Wu Minke suddenly felt unwell, dizzy and vomited, so she asked a doctor to take her pulse, and the doctor found that she was pregnant.
It was discovered that Wu Minke had secretly exchanged things with the guards of the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion was afraid that the matter would spread and affect the reputation of other young ladies in the Marquis' Mansion, so they drowned Wu Minke.
She was shocked when she heard about this and felt that the Marquis' Mansion had gone too far.
The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Since they love each other and have a child, let them be together. Why cause a death?
But she was a guest in the Marquis' Mansion, so she couldn't speak about such a secret matter. Moreover, when she found out about it, Wu Minke had already died, so she could only pretend not to know.
So, the child is Zhou Jinlin's?
Yes, Zhou Jinlin has already reached the age to get married, and the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is looking for a suitable noble lady for him. If the existence of a concubine's eldest son is revealed at this time, it will definitely affect Zhou Jinlin's marriage.
If Wu Minke refused to abort the child, she would die.
After thinking about the reason clearly, Shen Qionghua felt a chill all over his body.
He is worse than an animal because he can't even kill his own flesh and blood.
"Cousin Hua, eavesdropping is not a good habit."
A teasing voice sounded, and Shen Qionghua was startled. She looked up and saw that it was Zhou Jinlin.
It turned out that he had not left and had already discovered my existence.
Shen Qionghai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"What is the prince talking about? What is the corner? Qionghua doesn't understand."
"Cousin, why do you have to pretend not to understand? You were here when Wu Minke handed the sachet to me, weren't you?" Zhou Jinlin raised his eyebrows.
Shen Qionghua was shocked and couldn't help showing it on her face. When she saw Zhou Jinlin's smile getting bigger, she knew she had been fooled.
"I did overhear some things while passing by, but since it concerns Miss Wu's reputation, don't worry, my lord, I won't tell anyone." Shen Qionghua said.
Zhou Jinlin's eyes darkened, obviously Shen Qionghua's reaction was beyond his expectations.
Shen Qionghua didn't want to stay with him. Zhou Jinlin was not as easy to fool as Lin and others. He said hurriedly: "If you have nothing to do, my lord, I have been out for a long time, so I will go back to the table first."
Shen Qionghua said this and turned and left.
"Then please keep this secret for me, cousin. Otherwise, if any word gets out, you'll be held responsible."
When Shen Qionghua heard this, she didn't even reply to him, but walked faster.
Zhou Jinlin looked at the voice of the woman with a slender figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
interesting.
I thought she was just an ordinary girl, it's a pity to see her like this.
When Your Highness has accomplished his great cause, you can get it to play with.
……
Shen Qionghua returned to the banquet and looked at Wu Minke with a complicated and incomprehensible look.
Who would have thought that such a lively girl would become a corpse in a few days.
Sensing someone's gaze on her, Shen Qionghua looked up and met Zhou Jinlin's playful eyes.
She took a deep breath and looked away.
She is already busy with her own affairs and has no ability to meddle in other people's affairs.
Besides, even if she said it, Wu Minke might not believe her.
If they alerted the enemy, the lives of the three of them, mother and son, would be in danger.
In the following time, Shen Qionghua kept his eyes and nose open and watched his breathing. After the family dinner was over, he hurriedly took the peony and licorice back to Yunmengxuan.
