Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 89 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (23)
"Cousin, what are you doing here?"
Liang Sixian spoke up.
Shen Yunzhao looked up and saw the person, then stood up and bowed: "Fifth Prince".
Seeing Shen Yunzhao's reaction, the group rose to greet him.
“My cousin is still so unapproachable,” Liang Sixian said with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Nan also got up and came to the front hall. After bowing, he ran to Sheng Yuan's side.
Shen Yunzhao remained unmoved by his attitude and asked, "Why is Fifth Prince here?"
"Don't even mention it. It was my mother's birthday, and she wanted me to go back. I finally got back, but I was ambushed. If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid I would have lost my life." Liang Sixian's mother was a member of the Xie family, and she had a fairly good relationship with the Empress. The Shen family and the Xie family also had a good relationship, so Liang Sixian trusted Shen Yunzhao quite a bit.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nan's first reaction was that her husband had gone to rescue someone last night, which must have been incredibly dangerous!
Seeing the concern in his little husband's eyes, Sheng Yuan patted his head and said, "I'm fine. Didn't my husband check me out himself yesterday?"
Hearing this, Lin Nan was no longer worried, blushed, and hid behind him.
"Who is the one?"
"Who else could it be? You know how much the Imperial Concubine and the First Prince want that throne, don't you?" Liang Sixian didn't think that much; he just felt angry.
The tokens he pulled from the assassins were clearly engraved with the word "Yao".
What else is there to say!
"Fifth Prince, please watch your words, if you don't want to cause trouble," Sheng Yuan said.
Liang Sixian is quite forgiving of his savior; for example, he is quiet right now.
They traveled to the capital by waterway.
On the way, Liang Sixian looked at Lin Nan with great curiosity. When he saw the butterfly birthmark on the back of Lin Nan's hand, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked his cousin if this person was of the Shen family bloodline.
Shen Yunzhao nodded. The Empress belongs to the Shen family, so his child naturally has the blood of the Shen family.
Next, Liang Sixian called Lin Nan "cousin" whenever he saw him.
Shen Yunzhao rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but say to Liang Sixian, "Fifth Prince, you're mistaken, it's not my cousin."
"Not my cousin? Then what is he?"
"Nan-ge'er is timid, don't scare him!" Shen Yunzhao said, unable to bear it any longer.
Liang Sixian called Lin Nan his cousin and often teased him because he thought Lin Nan was incredibly cute, so even if Lin Nan denied it, he would still tease him like that.
Sheng Yuan found this man extremely annoying. He had saved him to gain the Xie family's support, but now he just wanted to kick him into the river.
The bustling and majestic capital city attracted people's attention, and the four of them settled down there.
Liang Sixian wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
For the rest of the time, Sheng Yuan and Gu Shuqiao buried themselves in their studies at home.
Shen Yunzhao and Lin Nan manage the business.
It truly is a case of the man taking care of external affairs while the woman manages the household.
They were despised in this era, but all four of them enjoyed it.
On the day of the imperial examination, Lin Nan and Shen Yunzhao escorted the two successful candidates from their family to take the exam.
Sheng Yuan hugged Lin Nan and instructed, "At home, remember to eat on time, get plenty of rest, and keep warm, okay?"
"Yes. My husband, you must take good care of yourself too," Lin Nan said in Sheng Yuan's arms.
He was reluctant to part with it; it was only for a few days, but he still couldn't bear to.
"Okay, Nanbao, be a good boy and wait for me to come back." Sheng Yuan released Lin Nan, cupped his face, and gently stroked his cheek with his thumb.
After a reluctant farewell, Lin Nan and Shen Yunzhao did not leave until they saw the person go inside and disappear from sight.
"My lord, Nuonuo heard that a new restaurant has opened in the capital. Why don't we go and take a look?" Nuonuo said, seeing that he was unhappy.
"No, let's go back." Lin Nan lost interest and wanted to leave.
Nuonuo naturally wouldn't go against his wishes.
Seeing that he was in low spirits, Shen Yunzhao decided to stay and keep him company.
The carriage was moving slowly when it was suddenly stopped.
"Young master, the madam heard that you have returned and specially sent this old servant to invite you back." The servant who stopped the carriage showed no respect whatsoever.
Shen Yunzhao was about to go down when Lin Nan stopped him.
"Brother Zhao, I'm hungry. Stay and have a meal with me before you go."
Lin Nan wasn't a clueless husband. He knew that Shen Yunzhao would likely be mistreated when he went back, so he figured it would be better for him to have a good meal first before going back.
"it is good."
Having received Lin Nan's message, Nuonuo went to report back: "Young Master Shen has agreed to have his meal with our lord before returning. You may all leave now."
"The lady said that this old servant should invite the young master back."
Nuonuo frowned: "You're just a servant, yet you dare to disobey your masters' orders. Is this how Madam Shen raises her servants?"
"This……"
"Young Master Shen didn't say he wasn't going back; he was just staying for a simple meal. Your aggressive behavior makes it seem like Madam Shen is targeting Young Master Shen!"
Speechless after being confronted by Nuonuo, he could only retreat for the time being.
The little lamb was shocked by Nuonuo's way of roasting people; it seems he still has a lot to learn from her.
Lin Nan took him to Fuyuanlou for his favorite mutton hot pot.
When Shen Yunzhao returned to the Duke's mansion, he saw Madam Shen sitting in the main seat with an unfriendly expression.
"You unfilial son, kneel down now!" Madam Shen slammed the teacup on the ground and roared.
"I did nothing wrong, why should I kneel?"
"You're not wrong? I heard you've been having an affair with a man in the capital lately. How can you be so shameless and not be wrong?"
"He is my husband, this is not a secret rendezvous!"
"What a joke! How can he be your husband? Has the Duke of Shen's mansion acknowledged him?" Madam Shen said viciously, "Without a matchmaker, it's tantamount to an illicit union!"
"you!"
"Guards, lock Shen Yunzhao up! No one is to give him food or water without my order. Release him!"
Shen Yunzhao is not good at arguing, so he lost this time.
Gu Shuqiao learned that Shen Yunzhao was imprisoned when he was released.
While the three were discussing things at the He residence, Liang Siqi secretly arrived.
He mainly came to see his younger brother.
Upon hearing this, Liang Siqi said he would take care of the matter.
Shen Yunzhao was rescued because the Empress summoned her. In order to maintain her virtuous image, Madam Shen had no choice but to release him.
When Shen Yunzhao met the Empress, he looked somewhat haggard, but he managed to maintain a respectable appearance.
"Yun Zhao greets his aunt."
"No need for formalities, you've suffered, child." The Empress said with a look of pity.
"Auntie, you flatter me." Shen Yunzhao lowered her head.
How have you been lately?
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt. Yun Zhao is doing well. I got married on this trip and found a husband. I have met someone I can entrust my life to. It can be said that I have turned misfortune into blessing." Shen Yun Zhao admitted frankly.
"We'll talk about your marriage later. Go back and rest now." Empress Shen was not very satisfied with his marriage.
Shen Yunzhao didn't say anything more and got up to leave.
Gu Shuqiao received news from Liang Siqi and waited at the palace gate.
When I saw Shen Yunzhao, his face was pale. He had become terribly haggard after only a few days away.
Shen Yunzhao seemed to see Gu Shuqiao, and then he fainted from exhaustion.
Gu Shuqiao stepped forward and caught him: "Zhaozhao!"
