Chapter 156: Prince Lu Presents Shen Qing with the Title Deed to His Residence

However, the course of events was different from other wealthy families who favored concubines and abandoned wives. After Xie Ling married, Shen Yian still respected Yun Yuan, and Xie Ling never crossed the line, but Yun Yuan still had something on her mind.

In addition, the Yun family moved away at that time, and Yun Yuan was even more worried. She was sick many times, and it was not until Shen Qing was born that she felt better.

In the days that followed, Yun Yuan focused on Shen Qing, but she was worried and had no solution, and finally died of depression.

After listening, Shen Qing fell into silence. There was no right or wrong in the love entanglement between the three people, but only countless compromises and embarrassments.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Qing looked up at Xie Ling's eyes and asked, "I know that my mother has suffered a lot of grievances in marrying my father as a concubine over the years, but has my mother ever blamed my mother for snatching your marriage?"

If Yun Yuan hadn't appeared suddenly, Xie Ling could have married Shen Yian openly.

Xie Ling smiled suddenly and shook her head, "I never hated you. Your mother is a very good person. She will consider everyone with consideration, but she will always put herself last."

Shen Qing said nothing, because the consideration in Xie Ling's mouth was actually a cover-up for Yun Yuan's inferiority.

Yun Yuan never disliked the Yun family, but her merchant background was indeed a pain in her heart, which was also the biggest reason why she tried her best to want Shen Qing to marry Mu Ziqian.

Years of doubts finally got an explanation, and Shen Qing felt relieved a lot, and walked to Tingyue Hall with Xie Ling one after another.

When the two came back, Shen Yian and Lu Tingyu were discussing the marriage of Shen Qing and Lu Yan.

After a day, the auspicious date had been almost finalized.

The date of the engagement was set on June 24, and the wedding date was set on August 8.

The banquet began, and exquisite dishes were served one by one. Shen Yian also took out the jar of daughter's red wine that he had treasured for many years, and looked like he was going to get drunk with Lu Tingyu.

Lu Yan sat beside Shen Qing, not interfering, just quietly peeling shrimp for her.

Soon, the small bowl in front of Shen Qing was filled.

"Okay, it's enough, you should eat something too."

Lu Yan smiled and said "hmm", wiped his fingers carefully with a handkerchief, and then slowly ate.

After eating a few bites, Lu Yan suddenly said: "Tomorrow, General Qi will hold a boating party, let's go together?"

Qi Yichuan just returned to Shengjing some time ago, and he and Xie Zhaohua were engaged, so he thought of holding a banquet to recognize the young men and women in Shengjing, so there was this boating party.

Qi Yichuan sent an invitation to Shen Qing a few days ago, and Shen Qing accepted it, but did not plan to go.

Hearing Lu Yan's initiative to go, Shen Qing was a little puzzled, "Aren't you afraid that Qi Suining will pester you again?"

Speaking of this, Lu Yan smiled a little proudly, "Since I spread the news that I was not good last time, Miss Qi has never come again."

Although Qi Suining liked Lu Yan's face, if he was a waste who couldn't even do things between men and women, Qi Suining would not push himself into such a fire pit.

After all, no matter how good-looking a man is, if he is not good at that, he is just an embroidered pillow.

Then, Lu Yan continued to say: "It's a good opportunity to publicize the fact that we are about to get married."

Shen Qing rolled her eyes at him unhappily, knowing that he had such thoughts, but there was nothing to do tomorrow, so it would be okay to go.

Seeing Shen Qing agreed, Lu Yan smiled happily, "I'll come to pick you up early tomorrow morning."

As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, he heard a "bang" from the other side.

The two turned around and saw that Shen Yian, who had a poor alcohol tolerance, had fallen on the table.

Lu Tingyu was surprised, "We only drank half a jar..."

Xie Ling smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, the Marquis has always been this drunk."

Let the servants send Shen Yian back to the room to rest, and Xie Ling continued to discuss marriage matters with Lu Tingyu.

Chan Yi suddenly walked in from the outside and looked at Shen Qing, "Miss, there is a beggar at the door who claims to be from the Yun family and wants to see you."

Shen Qing was slightly surprised, Yun family? Beggar? Could it be that some unlucky guy was killed halfway and fled here?

Shen Qing got up and walked towards the door, followed by Lu Yan.

At the door, a ragged man was lying on the ground without any image, his long hair was stuck by some unknown juice and condensed into pieces, covering most of his face, and he had fainted at this time.

Lize stepped forward and pushed the hair off his face, exposing a face full of vicissitudes in front of everyone.

His face was full of dirt, and his specific appearance could no longer be seen. His eyes were dark, and his chin was full of long beard, as if he had not trimmed it for many years. There was a large piece of dried brown blood on his forehead, which should be due to the previous injury.

Shen Qing turned his head to look at the palace guard, "Just now he said that he was a member of the Yun family?"

The palace guard nodded, "Yes, but he only said this sentence and then fainted completely."

Although the identity of this person was unknown, he claimed to be a member of the Yun family, so Shen Qing thought about it and asked someone to take him to the wing room in the mansion.

He asked someone to wash him thoroughly before he could see his appearance clearly.

It was an extremely unfamiliar face, about the same age as Shen Yian. Shen Qing was sure that she had never seen this person before.

After asking Fu Yi to check the pulse of this person and confirming that he was just overworked and had no other problems, Shen Qing asked Fu Yi to watch him every step of the way before leaving the wing room with Lu Yan.

After all, it was a stranger with an uncertain identity, Shen Qing did not dare to take it lightly.

At the end of the hour of Xu, Lu Tingyu and Lu Yan returned to the Jing'an Palace. Shen Qing saw them off at the door, both with smiles on their faces.

And just where Shen Qing couldn't see, the smile on Lu Yan's face suddenly disappeared.

The smile on Lu Tingyu's face froze, "Ayan, you still blame me, right?"

"What do you blame you for?"

Lu Tingyu sighed, "I blame me for never caring about you for so many years."

Lu Yan smiled, "Don't you think it's too late for Jing'an King to say this now?"

How many years Lu Yan has lived, how many years Lu Tingyu's fatherly love has been missing, so for Lu Yan, apart from that blood relationship, Lu Tingyu is no different from a stranger.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Tingyu needed to appear in his marriage with Shen Qing, he would never appear in the same scene with Lu Tingyu.

After speaking, Lu Yan got on the carriage and left directly.

Lu Tingyu watched Lu Yan's carriage going farther and farther away, and a dark color flashed in his eyes.

…

The next morning, Lu Yan rushed to the Marquis of Yining Mansion.

Shen Qing was still dressing up, and Lu Yan was waiting outside the door, very patiently.

The door was finally opened, and Lu Yan's eyes lit up instantly.

Because they had divorced, Shen Qing had combed her hair into a girl's bun again, with her long brocade-like hair scattered behind her, and only two hairpins were inserted in the bun, which looked beautiful and elegant.

Lu Yan couldn't help but curl his eyebrows, "Jiaojiao looks really good today."

Shen Qing teased, "Is it because you are your fiancée?"

His thoughts were exposed, and Lu Yan was not embarrassed, and immediately said mysteriously, "Jiaojiao, I prepared a gift for you."

Shen Qing glanced at him, but saw that he had nothing in his hands.

"In the carriage, you'll see him in a while."

Shen Qing responded expectantly, and then looked at Chan Yi, "Is that person awake?"

Chan Yi shook her head, "Not yet, I heard from Fu Yi that he might need to sleep for a while longer."

When they arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Yining's mansion, Lu Yan took out a small box from the carriage, put it in Shen Qing's arms, and gave her a delicate and small silver key, "Open it when you get on the carriage."

After saying that, he sent Shen Qing to the carriage of the Marquis of Yining's mansion first.

The two were only engaged, not married yet, so they couldn't ride in the same carriage now.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Qing opened the box with curiosity, and saw a land deed on the top.

Looking closely, he found that this was actually--

the land deed of the Jing'an Palace!
