Chapter 126 The So-Called Deep Affection Is Nothing but Selfishness
Shen Qing responded to Haitang: "Invite people to the main hall, I will be there in a minute."
After finishing her words, she stood up from the soft couch and asked Chanyi to fix her makeup and hair.
Two quarters of an hour later, in the main hall.
Shen Qing walked over slowly and saw Chu Lingxi sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. The tea cup in hand was placed where it was, apparently untouched.
Shen Qing had already guessed Chu Lingxi's purpose of coming, but she still pretended not to know and asked with a smile: "I wonder what the third prince is here for today?"
Chu Lingxi stood up angrily, moved a little closer to Shen Qing, gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Qing, don't pretend to me, you did what happened to Yuyu, right?"
Just this morning, he finally persuaded Concubine Shu to go with him to the emperor and request to marry Shen Suyu as his concubine. As for the reasons for dealing with the emperor, he also planned it——
Chu Lingxi had a beaded hairpin that Shen Suyu had left in his hand, so Chu Lingxi bluntly said that he and Shen Suyu had been in love for a long time, but because he was engaged to Gu Tingyan, he could only restrain it. However, After hesitating for a long time, he still felt that it was inappropriate, so he wanted to marry Shen Shuyu as a concubine. Although she felt a little wronged, Chu Lingxi vowed to treat Shen Shuyu well, and the emperor relaxed. .
And this is exactly why the emperor summoned Shen Yi'an into the palace.
But unexpectedly, after Shen Yi'an entered the palace, he actually said that Shen Suyu was no longer in Shengjing. It was impossible to verify whether the two were in love for the time being. However, Shen Yi'an also stated that he was a loving father and that his children's marriage must be approved by him. He couldn't make a hasty decision.
The emperor also agreed, so the matter was put on hold for the time being. The final result would most likely be nothing, and Chu Lingxi's many days of planning came to nothing.
Chu Lingxi was completely stunned. He had always sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the Yining Hou Mansion. It was impossible for him not to know about such a big thing as Shen Suyu's departure from the capital, but Shen Yi'an must not dare to deceive the king, so Which part went wrong?
Suddenly, Chu Lingxi thought of Shen Qing and Xie Ling's mother and daughter going out of the city to burn incense at Chenglu Temple a few days ago.
If you ask Shen Suyu when he could leave Shengjing City without anyone noticing, this is undoubtedly the only chance.
So after coming out of the imperial study, Chu Lingxi went straight to Yanglinghou Mansion. He had to ask Shen Qing for clarification, even if he had guessed the truth of the matter.
Shen Qing looked ignorant, "What is the third prince talking about? I don't understand."
Although there was no flaw in the expression on Shen Qing's face, Chu Lingxi had already concluded that she was just pretending, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, "Chen Qing, Yuyu and I are in love, why are you so cruel!"
Shen Qing didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and was a little surprised. Was this... breaking his defense?
Shen Qing sent all the irrelevant maids away, leaving only his own, and then replied: "The third prince's talk about two people being in love and beating the couple with each other, is that just a plot to make his sweetheart a concubine? ?”
Shen Qing deliberately bit the word 'concubine' very hard.
Sure enough, Chu Lingxi's expression suddenly changed. Just when she was about to refute, she heard Shen Qing speak first: "Although the third prince has lived in the palace for a long time, I don't believe you don't know the grievances Suyu's mother has suffered over the years, not to mention the fact that she came out of the house a few days ago. After Gu Tingshuang's affair, now the third prince insists on taking Suyu as his concubine, I would like to ask, what are your intentions? "
Chu Lingxi frowned fiercely, "The matter of Ting Shuang is over, why are you holding on to it?"
The voice was obviously a bit weaker.
Shen Qing sneered and ruthlessly exposed his disguise, "Is it really over? Are you really sure that Suyu won't be embarrassed by Gu Tingshuang again after marrying into your house?"
Chu Lingxi was silent, and after a moment she said firmly: "I will protect her, you don't have to worry."
Shen Qing was too lazy to argue with him and once again presented the fact, "Suiyu is the concubine of the Yining Marquis Mansion. She is of dignified character and noble birth. Let alone a descendant of the family, it is not an exaggeration to marry a prince and become a concubine. But Now you actually want her to commit herself to being a concubine. Is this how the third prince wants to treat her?
What you call deep affection is nothing but selfishness! "
Selfishly, he only cares about his own preferences and does not care about what Shen Suyu thinks at all.
Chu Lingxi's lips turned white, and she opened and closed her lips. After a while, she said sadly: "You married a good man, and your parents-in-law treated you generously. They let you take charge of the house two months after they got married. It can be said that it was smooth sailing. How could you do this?" Understand my helplessness.”
A good man? Mu Ziqian?
Are your parents-in-law lenient? Marquis Yangling and his wife?
Shen had listened to many outside rumors, but this was the first time he heard such outrageous ones.
However, Shen Qing did not show any interest in complaining to Chu Lingxi. He only said coldly: "The third prince is wrong. Born in a family of officials, everyone has no choice but to do what they want. You are in trouble and you have no choice. Let me ask Suyu Aren't you embarrassed and helpless?
She is obviously the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, but she has been looked down upon since childhood.
When she met her love at the age of marriage, she thought he was a good man, but she didn't expect it to be just a scam from beginning to end. Then he forced her to be a concubine several times, and finally forced her to leave her parents and go to a foreign country! "
Shen Qing's voice rose slightly, then she paused and continued: "The third prince's helplessness is because he was born in the royal family and has a heavy burden that cannot be shied away from, but Suyu's helplessness is all caused by the third prince's thoughts.
If you really love her, you shouldn't put her in a dilemma and let her continue to struggle in pain. "
The air was stagnant for a moment, and Chu Lingxi's face became darker and darker.
Shen Qing knew that he didn't listen.
Just like what she once said about Chu Lingxi - extremely stubborn.
Perhaps because he felt that he had nothing to say to Shen Qing, Chu Lingxi walked out, leaving only one sentence before leaving, "I won't let go."
Looking at Chu Lingxi's back as she walked away, Chan Yi couldn't help but sigh, "How did the second lady provoke the third prince?"
I'm afraid that I won't be able to live in peace in the future.
Shen Qing retracted his gaze, "It's just a bad fate."
Shen Qing didn't know what the final result would be. All she could do was to protect Shen Shuyu temporarily to the best of her ability.
…
After lunch, Yangling Hou came back from the banquet at the Prince's Mansion. He wanted to visit Qin Luan who was about to give birth, but suddenly his mind flashed the confused eyes of Yangling Hou's wife, so he turned around and went to see Yangling Hou's wife first.
It's not that the couple is deeply in love, but at the banquet, Mu Xueliu told him a few more words, saying that he must be more obedient recently, so that she could blow pillow wind to Chu Lingxiu so that Yangling Hou could return to the court as soon as possible.
However, when Yangling Hou was still far away from Qi Futang, he smelled a strong fishy smell.
Looking at the large area of blood red in the courtyard, Yangling Hou could not understand what Yangling Hou's wife was making a fuss about, but he subconsciously felt annoyed.
Resisting the thought of turning around and leaving, Yangling Hou was ready to go in and reprimand Yangling Hou's wife, but as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a bloody rain pouring down on his head.
