Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 115: Accomplishment?

Marquis Anbo Shen Qingming was hurriedly led by his servant Dehou to the front hall for guests, and saw chaos in the courtyard.

Shen Liuye had already finished beating him with the twenty boards. She was barely breathing and her clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to her body.

But the places where she was beaten were intact and there was no blood.

Shen Wenbin had not finished his studies at the Imperial College yet and was not at home. At this moment, only Aunt Du was by Shen Liuye's side, with her makeup all stained by tears, and she arranged for the servants to carry her daughter back to the courtyard, repeatedly admonishing her, "Slow down, be careful, and take care of Miss Fifth's injury."

Seeing the Marquis coming, she felt like she had found her backbone. She immediately stepped forward and said with a sob, "Marquis, you have to do something for Ye'er. She was punished with twenty boards by Master Zhu. Although she is only my blood, she was raised by a royal family since she was a child. These twenty boards will take half of her life, Marquis." After she finished speaking, tears fell again.

On the way here, Shen Qingming was wondering why the fifth girl went to the front hall and why she angered Prince Zhong. He knew Zhu Yanxiao would never embarrass a concubine's daughter because of the huge difference in status. He didn't care about her and didn't need to.

Marquis Anbo, whom the emperor called an old fox, rushed to the yard and saw what Shen Liuye was wearing today. He couldn't help but frowned, and now he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Prince Zhu came to marry Shen'er, but before he even got his wife, the fifth daughter of the Marquisate couldn't wait to climb into the prince's bed and become his concubine. This was simply a slap in the face of the Marquisate. If it got out, how would others view the daughter of the Marquisate?

No wonder my mother didn’t show up at this time. I guess she was also angry.

Shen Qingming said to the servants in a dignified manner: "Take Miss Shen Wu away to recuperate. Since she is recuperating, she should not leave the courtyard, and no one else can visit her. Let Miss Wu rest." After speaking, he glanced at Aunt Du and said: "Aunt, don't go to visit. I will have someone guard the gate of the courtyard."

Aunt Du was anxious when she heard this and said hurriedly, "My Lord, Ye'er is my daughter. She was seriously injured. I must go and take care of her."

"There are so many maids in the Marquis' Mansion, they will take good care of the Fifth Miss. If you say one more word, I will make sure that you will never see my daughter again in your life."

Aunt Du immediately shut up, her face full of disbelief, as if she had not expected the Marquis to be so cruel to her and her daughter.

Shen Qingming ignored her and walked straight into the front hall.

When everyone saw the Marquis coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted. Shen Qingming also walked to the main seat next to Madam Shen and sat down.

"Princess, Madam Mu, I am really sorry for today. My daughter was too naughty and lost her manners, making everyone laugh."

"My Lord, your concubine's daughter has disobeyed her mother time and again. She is really ill-mannered." Madam Mu spoke first. "Also, she wants to be a concubine without the permission of her parents or the matchmaker. How can this be allowed? My Lord, please give me an explanation for this matter."

"Madam Mu, calm down. I have just confined Miss Five to her house. I will explain everything to Lord Mu Yun in the morning court tomorrow."

"Hmph! Please make sure to explain this to the Duke."

"I will not only explain this to the Duke, but also to Prince Zhong. Please bear with me, Princess."

The princess smiled gently and nodded. She thought it was normal for a concubine to use tricks to become Ziyuan's concubine. She had helped her eldest son to block so many women that she couldn't even remember.

After Lord Shen appeased the two ladies, he immediately returned to the main business of the day and asked, "Second Miss, have you told the two ladies which young master you want to marry?"

Shen Shen stood up again, bowed to everyone again, and answered clearly: "Father, mother, princess, Madam Mu, Shen Shen wishes to marry Zhu Yanxiao, the son of Prince Zhong."

Except for the princess and Madam Mu, everyone felt the same way.

Zhu Yanxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Yejun still smiled gently, but he was quickly thinking about what to do next.

"My wife disagrees."

Everyone looked at Madam Mu.

Madam Mu sneered, "Prince Zhu of Prince Zhong's Mansion injured our daughter, and we haven't settled the score yet. Now he's here to snatch the wife of the son. Do you really think that our Mu family is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by the Prince's Mansion at will?"

Madam Shen was about to speak when the Marquis patted her hands and then calmly said to Madam Mu, "Madam Mu, His Majesty has punished Shen'er to copy the female commandments for the incident in which Prince Zhu and the second young lady injured Miss Mu, and also stated that this matter will not be mentioned again. When Miss Mu recovers, this Marquis will definitely ask Shen'er to prepare a generous gift and go to your house to apologize."

"Okay! Your Majesty has given me the order and I will obey it. I also hope that the Marquis will keep his word. Now let's talk about this marriage. Marriage has always been a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. When did it become a matter for the children of the mansion to decide for themselves? I just want to ask, does the Marquis's mansion also want the second girl to marry Prince Zhong's mansion?"

Mu Yejun sat on the side and listened silently. For the first time, he felt that his mother's somewhat domineering personality was simply perfect.

Madam Shen and the princess were troubled by Madam Mu's temper. She was like this when she was a young lady, and she was still like this even after she married a duke and became the mother of three children.

"Madam Mu, I am grateful for the kindness of Second Young Master Mu towards Second Young Miss. However, I have already promised the Prince and the Duke that it is up to Second Young Miss to decide which young master she wants to marry." Shen Qingming explained calmly.

Seeing the stubbornness of the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Mu was really angry. She stood up and said angrily, "Marquis An, it was you who came to our Duke's Mansion to discuss marriage. It was not in accordance with etiquette. It was also you who asked Huaibi to meet in advance. In the end, the second young lady wanted to marry into Prince Zhong's Mansion. It turns out that you despise the Duke's Mansion and think it is better to marry into the Prince's Mansion."

At this time, Madam Shen came out to smooth things over: "Madam Mu, please calm down. The Marquis' Mansion did not handle this matter properly. I'd like to apologize to the Duke of Yunsheng's Mansion." After she finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to Madam Mu.

Madam Mu was very resistant in her heart. She knew very well that if she continued to pester them, she would offend both noble families and the Duke's Mansion would not be able to get any good results. However, there seemed to be a voice in her mind controlling her: "We must marry Shen Shen back to the Mansion." It was like a devil's voice piercing her ears. She could not control herself at all: "Madam Shen, is it enough for you to apologize? Then how about you apologize for anything that the Duke's Mansion has done to offend the Marquis' Mansion in the future?"

Seeing that she was still not giving up, Lord Shen did not bother her and asked directly, "Madam Mu, what does the Duke's Mansion want the Marquis' Mansion to do?"

"Of course, the second young lady should be married to the second young master Mu from the Duke's Mansion."

"impossible."

Zhu Yanxiao, who was sitting opposite, heard it and directly denied it.

Mu Yejun raised his eyes, his expression uncertain.

"I think it's possible."

"I hold a jade in my arms." Shen Shen also spoke at this time.

Seeing Mu Yejun looking over, she smiled and said, "I like Zhu Yanxiao, I really like him, so, can you fulfill my wish?"
