Princess Ning smiled and said gently: "Mrs. Shen is not your biological mother. Don't you think about it for yourself?"
Shen Fengxu was even more puzzled.
Why does Princess Ning care so much about her marriage? What's more, when people get married, they pay most attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. The marriage is decided by the parents and has nothing to do with Shen Fengxu himself.
So she raised her eyebrows and said innocently: "Feng Xu can't make the decision on these matters by herself."
What's more, she is only twelve years old, and it is still early for her to get married. Furthermore, she and Princess Ning are not related, so Princess Ning does not need to worry about her marriage.
Princess Ning is indeed not worried about Shen Fengxu, she is worried about Ming Shu's marriage.
At Mingshu's current age, she should have had a concubine a long time ago. She had already started looking for a concubine for Mingshu a few years ago, but no matter which girl she was from, Mingshu was always interested He refused sternly and refused to even meet him.
Princess Ning had almost compiled a list of all the girls with hairpins in the entire capital, and invited countless girls to come to her house, but she ignored them all. Instead, she kept in contact with Fu Yunsheng all day long, and even had a waiter in the courtyard. There is no concubine's room.
This is unique in Beijing.
Princess Ning almost turned her hair gray because of this.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, if it were someone else's family, they would have already started having children, but Mingshu hadn't even decided on a marriage.
And yesterday, when I heard that a girl had been brought back to the house, Princess Ning couldn't wait to see her. Naturally... she was a little disappointed.
Without him, Shen Fengxu is still just a little girl. It may take several years for Shen Fengxu to grow up to have hairpins.
But compared to the previous situation, Princess Ning was already a little more relieved.
At least, Mingshu is still willing to have contact with women.
So Princess Ning coughed lightly and said, "Miss Shen, what do you think of Shu'er?"
Shen Fengxu: "..."
Was it Ming Shu who chose her back then? It couldn't have been Princess Ning, right?
Chen Fengxu smiled and said: "The prince has outstanding appearance and dignified character, so he is naturally excellent."
At this moment, the carriage stopped, and a maidservant said: "Princess, you have arrived at Dongning Bo's Mansion."
Shen Fengxu breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Shen Fengxu knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he hadn't returned home all night, so he didn't intend to cover it up. He walked out of Princess Ning's carriage and walked towards the study room of Dong Ningbo Mansion. The maid at the door said: "Can father be in the study? Please send a message to Hongqutong."
When she saw the eldest lady's maid standing outside Shen Yanning's study, she knew that the eldest lady must have come to say something to Shen Yanning. If not, at this moment, the eldest lady should be handling the general affairs of the house.
When Hongqu saw Shen Fengxu coming, he was a little surprised, but said hurriedly: "Yes."
So he went to spread the word.
Soon, Hongqu bowed to Shen Fengxu and said: "Girl, please come in."
When Shen Fengxu walked into the study, the eyes of the eldest lady and Shen Yanning fell on her at the same time. The eldest lady's eyes were filled with deep and profound coldness, while Shen Yanning was completely angry. No one spoke.
The silence in the study was eerie.
Shen Fengxu was the first to break the strange silence.
She bowed with her hands folded and said with a smile: "My daughter is back."
It's back.
The eldest lady showed pity and asked: "Feng Xu, where did your clothes come from? Why have I never seen them before?"
The clothes Shen Fengxu was wearing today were prepared by Princess Ning for her. She was dressed in light plain clothes with a pear blossom hairpin inserted diagonally on her temples. She looked as elegant and graceful as a jasmine flower, pure and flawless, pure and lovely.
Chen Fengxu raised her hand to lift her dress and said, "This outfit was prepared for me by someone else. Does mother think it looks good?"
"Someone else?" The eldest lady's eyes were deep and cold, "Who is it?"
Chen Fengxu smiled and said: "This, mother will know in a moment."
The eldest lady sighed deeply and said: "Feng Xu, tell mother, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back all night?" Her tone was pitiful and sad, but she couldn't hide it between her brows and her eyes. 's smile.
Shen Fengxu was very calm and calm and said: "Yesterday afternoon, my daughter wanted to go to Yujin Pavilion to see some jewelry. Unexpectedly, she met an assassin. Fortunately, she was saved by someone else. Otherwise, my daughter might not be able to come back today."
Met an assassin.
The look on the lady's face became increasingly unbearable. Finally, the corners of her lips curved and she said: "Assassin?"
Shen Fengxu nodded, as if he was still scared and said: "Yes, my daughter was really frightened at that time. Fortunately, she met a good person and rescued Fengxu. Not only that, she also brought Fengxu home. go."
Brought it home.
Every word and sentence arouses people's imagination.
Hearing what Shen Fengxu said, Shen Yanning became furious, picked up the tea tray at hand, and threw it straight into Shen Fengxu's face.
If he was really hit, Shen Fengxu would be disfigured even if he was not injured.
She dodged and the tea tray fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The expression on Shen Yanning's face became more and more ugly, but the smile on the eldest lady's face became even brighter.
Punishment by parents is a matter of course, but as a daughter, Shen Fengxu dared to avoid it, which is naturally treasonous.
"You have done such a disgraceful thing, and you still have the nerve to come back!" Shen Yanning was furious, and his eyes seemed to be bursting with flames, as if they were going to burn up Shen Fengxu's whole body.
"It's a disgrace to the family tradition?" Shen Fengxu repeated it softly, then laughed, and said sarcastically, "Why did my father say that? When did Feng Xu disgrace the family tradition? Feng Xu met the assassin smoothly on the road, and my father Could it be that what you are thinking about is not who those assassins are, but that your daughter has disgraced the family?"
"Feng Xu..." There seemed to be a cold poisonous snake in the eyes of the eldest lady, waiting for an opportunity. She said, "You met the assassin and didn't come back all night. I'm afraid you have lost your virginity."
"What does mother mean by saying that? My daughter has just said that Feng Xu was rescued. Is it possible that mother is still hoping that her daughter will lose her virginity?" Shen Fengxu sneered and looked up at the eldest lady. , showing no fear at all, "My daughter encountered danger and finally returned home, but she is still so suspicious of her mother. My daughter is really sad!"
In response to this, the eldest lady just smiled faintly and said: "Feng Xu, mother is naturally willing to believe you, but if this matter is spread, no one will believe your innocence."
Shen Fengxu tilted his head and smiled: "From my mother's point of view, how can Fengxu prove his innocence?"
