The prime minister's wife, Su Shi, was surprised when she heard her daughter's words. Her first reaction was that Liu Ruyan was crazy. Otherwise, why would she want to go to a place full of disaster victims? Besides, she was a noble lady in the capital, so how could she go out casually?
"Mom, tell daddy. I'll be gone for a few days and I'll be back soon..."
She didn't dare to tell Prime Minister Liu this, so she could only ask her mother to help persuade her. Moreover, she was just lying about how many days she would be gone. She would not come back until Shen Yanqing fell in love with her.
"Nonsense! What kind of place is Zhenjiang Prefecture? The famine has not passed yet. The city is full of bandits and victims. If you go there, you will lose your life. Stay at home. When you get tired of it, go out and participate in the flower viewing party. Don’t even think about anything else, if your father finds out he’ll be mad at you to death!”
Mrs. Su herself was very angry. Liu Ruyan became more and more out of tune. All the etiquette she learned in the past was forgotten. Now she even dared to think about running away from home. She was still the lady who was looked up to by everyone. ?
"Mom, Shen Yanqing is in charge of Zhenjiang Mansion, so my daughter will be fine. Besides, if there is any problem, he will protect me!"
Liu Ruyan was only thinking about Shen Yanqing. She was now afraid that she would really die as miserably as in her dream, and she didn't notice Su's anger at all.
Su Shi was confused and had an angry look on her face to see what stupid thing she was saying.
"Shen Yanqing has nothing to do with you, so how can he protect you?"
"He will definitely do it, I am his wife..."
"Liu Ruyan!"
Before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, Su Shi blocked her mouth with a handkerchief. Su Shi glanced around in a panic, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were all her confidants, and slapped Liu Ruyan hard. Smokey face.
"You are so confused. Who is Shen Yanqing? Even if a poor scholar becomes a county magistrate, he is just someone who cannot stand on the stage. What does it have to do with you? You still want to marry... I think you are crazy!"
Madam Su couldn't tell Liu Ruyan that she wanted to marry him. The two of them had not crossed paths. Madam Su didn't know why she wanted to marry Shen Yanqing. She was probably going to Zhenjiang Mansion to find him this time.
Su Shi was disappointed in her heart. Her daughter, who had been raised by a lot of pampers, didn't want to marry Gao to her mother's family to gain face. Why did she insist on marrying a poor scholar? Anyway, as long as she and Prime Minister Liu were still alive, Liu Ruyan would never be allowed to marry. Be stupid.
"Mom, I'm not crazy. I must marry Shen Yanqing, otherwise I will die..."
"Enough!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Su Shi was even cursing herself. Su Shi was so angry that her hands were trembling.
"Don't say these words again. You are the prime minister's legitimate daughter and your status is the most noble. What kind of husband can't marry? Even the queen can compete. Shen Yanqing is just a small county magistrate. What do you want to marry him? Are your father and I being ridiculed by the world?"
She paused and said, "Don't mention this matter again. From now on, you are not allowed to go out unless you have nothing to do. Learn the rules at home. I think you are old and careless. You dare to say any nonsense. Others must listen to you." Your reputation is over!"
"Xiu'er, keep an eye on your wife, if she keeps messing around, I'll sell you to a building!"
Mrs. Su scolded Liu Ruyan and hit Xiu'er again. Xiu'er knelt on the ground tremblingly and nodded in response with a look of panic.
"My slave knows."
Ever since Liu Ruyan's temper changed drastically and she could not forget Shen Yanqing, she had been warned twice by the Prime Minister and his wife. Xiu'er knew that if Liu Ruyan made another mistake, she would end up being betrayed as Su said. Went to the building.
Xiu'er helped Liu Ruyan with all her heart, and for the sake of her own life, she had to keep an eye on her wife.
"Madam, please go back to the house with your slave..."
Liu Ruyan was anxious in her heart. It was clear that what she told was the truth, but her parents didn't believe it. The dream was too vivid, and she still remembered her own misery.
If she couldn't marry Shen Yanqing, this would be her fate. Liu Ruyan would never allow herself to die miserably. She would be the first wife and enjoy the wealth.
Xiu'er saw that her wife was getting more and more crazy, with a scary smile on her lips. Xiu'er was frightened in her heart and quickly lowered her head and stopped looking. She was afraid that her wife was really going crazy.
When Sun Hao came in from the outer courtyard, he saw Liu Ruyan being supported by Xiu'er. She held Xiu'er's arm tightly, and her well-maintained nails dug into her flesh. Xiu'er's little face wrinkled up in pain, But he didn't dare to offend Liu Ruyan, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Liu Ruyan was still stuck in her own emotions and kept talking.
"I must go to Zhenjiang Mansion, I must marry Shen Yanqing, I must..."
Sun Hao paused when he heard the familiar words, Zhenjiang Mansion, Shen Yanqing, how could Lady Liu talk about them and say that she wanted to marry her? He tried to find traces of lying on Liu Ruyan's face, but he saw Her eyes were full of determination, so everything she said was true?
Sun Hao was filled with jealousy, but Shen Yanqing was really lucky. Not only was he admitted to the top exam, he was now a county magistrate, and there was no news about the poisoned grains he donated.
Sun Hao speculated that his plan was probably discovered, otherwise why wouldn't the news of the death come to the capital? With so many people in the court staring at him, he could be kicked off his official position with just one wrong move. Now If nothing happens, I'm afraid he will avoid me.
Now that Mrs. Liu has fallen in love with him and insists on marrying him, Sun Hao laments the unfairness of fate. Shen Yanqing has encountered all kinds of good things. If he really becomes the prime minister's son-in-law, his official career will be smooth sailing. He won't allow it to go straight to the top.
Sun Hao looked at Liu Ruyan with dark eyes, and silently made up his mind.
eldest princess mansion
Zhao Jing sat opposite the eldest princess, holding a piece of jujube cake in his hand. He didn't like sweets, but the Shen family's snacks were sweet but not greasy, and the sweetness was acceptable, so Zhao Jing couldn't help but eat two more pieces.
"If the emperor likes it, I have a box here and we will take it back to the palace later."
"No, I can just eat two pieces of sweets. Auntie, please keep them."
Zhao Jing knew that the eldest princess didn't like to eat, but the Shen family's snacks were the only ones that could be eaten. How could she take something from her?
The eldest princess was noncommittal. These snacks were made by Shen Yingxue. Although they were delicious, she just didn't like them. She always felt that they didn't taste like the ones made by Mrs. Shen, so she didn't touch the ones sent to her this month. Now it seems that the emperor likes them. I just thought of letting her take it with me.
Zhao Jing didn't know this was the reason. Seeing that the eldest princess looked unhappy, he thought she was tired of eating.
"I heard from Mr. Wei that Mrs. Shen knows many kinds of snacks. If you don't like this, just ask her to make something you like."
"The Emperor does not know that this snack was made by Mr. Shen's sister. Mrs. Shen followed her to Zhenjiang Mansion and rarely made snacks for the master, but the master liked what she made..."
