The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy
Chapter 9 I am willing to marry
Wen Tingyun sneered: "Do you think I will believe you? Sheng Yunrou, that was predicted to be the Phoenix Lord of Destiny more than ten years ago."
"All the princes are eyeing her and want to marry her."
"How could the Sheng family marry her to a poor scholar like me?"
Wen Tingyun didn't know yet that he was also a prince, so it was naturally impossible for him to believe it.
But no matter what, she had to find a way to stabilize Wen Tingyun first.
If Wen Tingyun said something detrimental to Sheng Qingqian's reputation in front of other people in the Sheng Mansion, everything would be ruined.
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her voice: "It is precisely because Sheng Yunrou is the Phoenix Master of Heaven that it is impossible for the Sixth Prince or any other prince to really marry her."
"Your Majesty is now in the prime of life. Whoever marries Sheng Yunrou is obviously coveting the throne. Can Your Majesty still tolerate this?"
Sheng Nanzhi said quickly: "Wait a moment, I guess it won't be long before the Sixth Prince will be granted a marriage, but the Sixth Prince's wife will not be Sheng Yunrou."
"You and Sheng Yunrou are already in love. If there is an opportunity, wouldn't it be a happy occasion for everyone?"
"Among the three sisters in our Sheng family, only Sheng Yunrou is the legitimate daughter and is the most favored by our father. If you marry Sheng Yunrou, you will definitely rise to prominence in the future."
Wen Tingyun was indeed moved. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Okay, then I'll wait."
"If I can't marry Sheng Yunrou, then I will never let Sheng Qingqian go."
Sheng Nanzhi secretly clenched her hands. What happened today was just a momentary negligence on her part. She would never allow the same thing to happen again.
As she was thinking about it, she saw Li Yueru and Sheng Yunrou coming in with the court doctor.
Seeing Sheng Nanzhi and Wen Tingyun standing in the yard, Li Yueru paused for a moment and raised her eyelids: "What a foxy woman! She's clinging to the Sixth Prince while also hanging on to her previous fiancé."
Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyelids and said, "Mother, be careful with your words."
"My reputation being ruined is of no concern. I'm going to become a nun anyway."
"But if it affects the marriages of other sisters in the mansion, it would be inappropriate."
This is true.
Li Yueru snorted coldly. Just wait for this little bastard. After her Yunrou and the Sixth Prince get married, she will slowly deal with these two bastards.
The court doctor carefully examined Sheng Qingqian's injuries. "The wound is mainly on the arm, and it's quite deep. I'll apply medicine to the Third Miss first, and then bandage it. A wound this deep will most likely leave a scar."
The court doctor opened the medicine box and prepared things on the side.
Li Yueru spoke slowly, "I heard from the servants that it was Master Wen who carried Qingqian back to the mansion."
"I also heard from the coachman that when the bandit was about to attack Master Wen, Qing Qian rushed over, hugged Master Wen, and used her arm to block the knife for him."
Li Yueru raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Qingqian is already of marriageable age. You guys are blocking her and hugging her all the time. So many people have seen it. If it gets out, it won't be good for Qingqian's reputation, right?"
Sheng Nanzhi knew that Li Yueru would bring up these things. Sheng Yunrou said in front of everyone yesterday that she wanted to exchange marriages with her and marry Wen Tingyun, which made Li Yueru feel wary.
She wanted Wen Tingyun to get married as soon as possible so that Sheng Yunrou would give up.
But she shouldn't have set her sights on Sheng Qingqian.
Sheng Nanzhi was about to speak when Sheng Qingqian, who had been lying on the couch with her eyes closed and silent because of the pain, suddenly spoke up: "Then I will marry Master Wen."
As soon as Sheng Qingqian said this, several people in the room changed their expressions at the same time.
"Qingqian!" Aunt Liu was a little flustered. "What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't even reached the age of marriage yet. It's not time for you to get married yet, and I want to keep you for two more years."
Sheng Nanzhi nodded. "As for the reputation mother just mentioned, Qingqian hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. Even if she had, at this point, it only matters about name, not reputation. Just like between a doctor and a patient, in order to practice medicine and save lives, there is no gender difference."
Sheng Qingqian said softly, "I want to marry Master Wen, and it's not just because of this."
"My sister had an affair with the Sixth Prince. Although she was harmed, we are still sorry to Master Wen. I am willing to marry him in her place as compensation."
"Besides, I think Mr. Wen is gentle and refined, with a good temper and knowledge, no worse than anyone else. I am willing."
The veins on Sheng Nanzhi's forehead twitched. She never expected that things would develop like this. She had just convinced Wen Tingyun, but she didn't expect that things would go wrong with Sheng Qingqian.
It's really one crisis after another!
Wen Tingyun was indeed a very intimidating person on the surface, but secretly, he was already rotten to the core.
Li Yueru didn't care about that. After hearing what Sheng Qingqian said, she couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, okay."
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Aunt Liu: "When Nanzhi got into trouble before, the master promised Master Wen that he would find a good marriage for him. Now that Nanzhi and Master Wen are in love, and she wants to get married, isn't this perfect? Everyone is happy!"
"I'll go find the master and talk to him."
Li Yueru grabbed Sheng Yunrou and left quickly, leaving the mother, daughter, and Wen Tingyun looking at each other in silence.
Sheng Nanzhi turned her head and glanced at Wen Tingyun, hoping that he would say something. After all, Wen Tingyun had promised her...
Wen Tingyun did speak: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, I will go back first."
Sheng Nanzhi closed her eyes. She should have known this long ago! Wen Tingyun has always been like this...
In his previous life, he clearly liked Sheng Yunrou, yet he married her without any resistance. At first, he was gentle and caring towards her, but his true nature gradually revealed itself after they got married.
It's the same now. He clearly regards Sheng Qingqian as a backup option. If there is no better choice, he can have a way out.
After Wen Tingyun left, Sheng Nanzhi looked at Sheng Qingqian and said, "Third sister, you can't marry Wen Tingyun!"
She gritted her teeth. She had no way of telling Sheng Qingqian that she was reborn. She could only whisper, "The Wen family has already fallen on hard times, and Wen Tingyun is just a branch, even more destitute. You are the daughter of the Prime Minister, and unlike me, you have been carrying the reputation of a troublemaker since childhood. What kind of family can't you marry? You can marry someone better in the future."
For example, Mu Zhao.
She didn't notice the sudden flash of obscurity in Sheng Qingqian's eyes after hearing her words: "I know everything that sister said."
"But...since my sister is with the Sixth Prince, she naturally cannot marry Wen Tingyun."
"The Wen family and our family already had an engagement. Although the Wen family lost, if we cancel the engagement, it would still be very painful if the Wen family insisted on biting us. After all, as the saying goes, little devils are difficult to deal with."
"Sister, just marry the Sixth Prince peacefully. Leave the Wen family to me. I will never let the Wen family hinder your path to wealth and glory."
"Besides, I think Master Wen is a good person. Although he is just a scholar, he writes well and has a bright future."
"Sister, I think this is our best choice."
