"Hey, Doctor Shen, wouldn't it be too unreasonable for you not to take over the food prepared by our Lady Liu?"
"That's right, we have been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for so long, but we have never heard of Mrs. Liu giving food to anyone. This is the only one for Dr. Shen!"
The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were all from the faction of Prime Minister Liu. They usually looked down upon Shen Yanqing. Now that they saw Liu Ruyan pestering him, everyone felt sour in their hearts. They didn't know what was so good about Shen Yanqing. Yes, he looks like a pretty boy, but he actually attracted the attention of the prime minister's daughter.
Liu Ruyan, who is regarded as a beauty by others, is a trouble for Shen Yanqing. Not to mention that he is married, even if he is alone, he will not like a little lady like her who thinks highly of herself and has a vicious heart.
"My wife Shen has already prepared a meal and is waiting at home. I hope Madam Liu will respect herself!"
"You can also eat the food cooked by that ugly creature. Shen Yanqing, are you blind? You let me, the prime minister's legitimate daughter, not marry you, but you guard a country woman!"
When Liu Ruyan heard him mention Jiang Miao, her chest almost exploded. How could Jiang Miao, a bitch, be so virtuous and capable?
Even though she was disfigured, she still pestered Shen Yanqing. Mrs. Shen's position should have been hers, and Jiang Miao, a shameless person, would occupy the magpie's nest!
Although her voice was not loud, the people around her who were watching the joke had their ears open. When they heard Liu Ruyan scolding Shen Yanqing's wife as ugly, their eyes became much more subtle.
Could it be that they have known each other for a long time? They even know Shen Yanqing's wife, and it's not like Liu Ruyan did it on a whim.
People who originally just wanted to watch the fun gradually became interested, and if it was true as she said, Shen Yanqing's wife was an ugly woman, a sense of superiority arose in everyone's hearts. She was indeed from a small place, and she couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law. .
Imperial officials like them, who don't have many beautiful wives and concubines in their backyard, have to go to brothels to drink wine and get drunk in the land of beauties.
Shen Yanqing was full of family spirit. He didn't just go out to socialize on weekdays. He had to go home for dinner at noon. When he thought about his ugly wife at home, everyone looked at Shen Yanqing and felt something was wrong.
Doesn’t this person have any special hobbies?
Shen Yanqing didn't pay attention to everyone's looks. He only heard Liu Ruyan's dirty words just now. It didn't matter that he was scolded, but Liu Ruyan insulted Jiang Miao, which directly touched his back.
"roll!"
The man's eyes burst out with murderous intent and his eyes were cold. Liu Ruyan's heart trembled. She didn't want to admit that she was scared by him, so she trembled her lips and spoke forcefully.
"Am I wrong? She is just an ugly, yellow-faced woman. She should have died a long time ago. If you had married me, you wouldn't have to be a little household doctor now!"
She made delicious dishes and hot soup today, originally to please Shen Yanqing, but all her enthusiasm was extinguished by his words. Liu Ruyan felt aggrieved. Shen Yanqing in the dream would never be cruel to her, they should be Husband and wife, Jiang Miao was an intruder and took everything away from her.
The more Liu Ruyan talked, the more excited she became. Shen Yanqing's veins popped out, and the hand on his side clenched tightly. If he hadn't been concerned that she was a woman, he would have already punched her.
"Prime Minister Liu is a good tutor, but Shen can't reach a higher level!"
The man's voice was cold and loud. It was a compliment on the surface, but in fact he severely humiliated Liu Ruyan and even scolded Prime Minister Liu. The beauty shed tears and was pitiful. People who thought Shen Yanqing was ungrateful heard him scold. Prime Minister Liu was all angry.
"Who are you? You really think Madam Liu likes you. Don't think that because you have a pretty face, you will forget about it and do whatever you want. You are just a little doctor. The Prime Minister can crush you to death with one finger!"
Everyone was already dissatisfied with him, and now everyone was accusing him. Shen Yan glanced at him with clear eyes. Everyone was scared, but they didn't stop insulting him.
"Mrs. Liu, please don't be as knowledgeable as him. Such a person is suitable for marrying an ugly monster as a wife. A noble lady like you is not even worthy of carrying shoes."
However, Liu Ruyan didn't appreciate these people's grievances. She just hated Jiang Miao, but that didn't mean she would vent her anger on Shen Yanqing. The woman raised her beautiful eyebrows and glared at the people around her.
"You all get out of here!"
"you!"
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. If we offend Madam Liu, the Prime Minister will not let us go."
"Bah! What kind of daughter-in-law of the prime minister stops a man in the street and rushes to marry him? No lady in the house can do such a shameless thing."
After being scolded by Liu Ruyan, this person immediately took off his fan and stepped back, muttering to others behind his back, and spat hard in her direction.
Shen Yanqing was impatient to watch them dog-eat-dog, so he took advantage of the chaos and walked straight over to the Shen family's carriage. When Liu Ruyan reacted, he only saw the buttocks of a carriage and a horse.
"Hey, Shen Yanqing, don't leave, you haven't picked up the food box yet!"
Liu Ruyan chased for a few steps, but the car quickly disappeared. She was holding the food box and stamping her feet angrily. Her look made the people behind her want to laugh but dare not, and her face turned red from suppressing it.
"Ahem, Mrs. Liu, it's very windy here. You're a noble person, so you'd better go home early."
"snort!"
Liu Ruyan failed to please her for the first time. Not only did she fail to get closer to Shen Yanqing, she also made him angry. The makeup she had carefully dressed up today didn't even catch his eye. Liu Ruyan was resentful and angry.
Looking at the direction the carriage was leaving, her eyes were cold.
She is stubborn and will not give up easily. If Shen Yanqing refuses to marry her, she will not give up her entanglement.
However, Liu Ruyan was not a reckless and ignorant person. Today she was talking about Jiang Miaocai losing control of her emotions and making Shen Yanqing angry. Liu Ruyan also saw that Jiang Miao's position in his heart could not be removed overnight.
But Jiang Miao's disfigurement was already a certainty, and she didn't believe that Shen Yanqing would be willing to live with an ugly monster for the rest of his life.
Therefore, if she wants to win his heart, she should not use force, but should take the gentle route.
She was more beautiful than Jiang Miao, and more gentle and sweet. She didn't believe that Shen Yanqing would not be tempted after a long time, and would not be able to figure out who should be his wife.
Liu Ruyan was full of ambition and had already decided to come back tomorrow. The officials behind him looked at the excitement with some unfinished expressions in their eyes, feeling jealous and hateful towards Shen Yanqing.
"I don't know what Mrs. Liu likes about him. Apart from that face, none of us here is better than him!"
"You also said that your face is not as good as yours. Mrs. Liu comes from a wealthy family and is good-looking. Perhaps she is attracted by Dr. Shen's face."
"Superficial! But if Shen Yanqing marries Lady Liu, our Prime Minister's faction will gain another capable minister."
Even if everyone looks down on Shen Yanqing, that's because they are on opposite sides. If they were in the same team, their treatment would be drastically different.
Only a few days after taking office, Shen Yanqing had sorted out the backlog of official documents in the Ministry of Revenue, singled out all the problems one by one, and prepared to report them to the emperor. They were quite frightened. After all, they had been immersed in officialdom for many years. No one can guarantee that their hands are clean, for fear of being caught in a pigtail.
