Chapter 101 Lord Shen is astonished!
The Princess frowned, "He asked for it and you just gave it to him?"
Qingqing pouted and said, "What else could I do?"
The Princess didn't blame her, but rather asked with great curiosity.
"So, how was your trial marriage?"
Qingqing bit her lip, her face flushed as she asked, "What aspect does the Princess want to know about?"
"Everything, in detail! Tell me!"
"Lord Shen... he is very experienced, one could even say extremely experienced."
Qingqing told the Princess everything she could remember, although it was very difficult to speak of. But that's what a trial marriage was for; as a maid, her role was to test the Commandery Prince Consort, wasn't it to test his abilities in that regard?
Of course, for the Princess, as long as the man was normal, it was fine. She was just curious about Qingqing's demeanor, which was why she probed for details.
After listening, even though the Princess was mentally prepared, her cheeks still burned, as if she had experienced it herself. Qingqing's verbal account was simply too immersive.
"He... how could he be like that? It's really too out of line."
Qingqing said, "There are rules in daily life, but on the wedding night, where are all those rules?
Anyway, Lord Shen likes to manipulate people. When the time comes, however he manipulates you, you just have to be compliant."
"Hmph, you've certainly become experienced! Next time, I'll let him manipulate you first, and I'll watch from the side!"
Qingqing:...After Shen Yulou entered the Imperial Palace, before he even reached the Imperial Heirs Residence, he ran into Li Hui.
Li Hui asked with a face full of concern, "Lord Shen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Commander Li. I heard you were also implicated, I'm truly sorry!"
Li Hui shook his head, "It's nothing, it was all the National Preceptor's doing. Now that the National Preceptor has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison, it's considered ridding the people of a menace!"
Shen Yulou secretly scoffed internally.
People nowadays are still too naive. All of this was due to Emperor Ren's suspicions, yet Li Hui showed no dissatisfaction towards him, instead blaming all the resentment on the National Preceptor.
The National Preceptor was indeed a scoundrel, but Emperor Ren was no good either.
If one day Shen Yulou truly got the chance to rebel, he would not be polite.
"Lord Shen, My Son's rice flour is a bit low, I was just about to go to the Imperial Heirs Residence to get some."
"Alright then, let's go together."
Shen Yulou and Li Hui returned to the Imperial Heirs Residence together. He asked Tao Hong to grind some fresh rice flour, while he went to visit Princess Na Xing.
Princess Na Xing had mostly recovered, and although her wound still occasionally ached, she was already able to walk around.
Upon seeing Shen Yulou, Princess Na Xing's face was full of smiles.
"Mr. Shen."
She said, holding Shen Yulou's hand.
"I heard Mr. Shen almost got into trouble. Why pledge allegiance to such a monarch?"
Shen Yulou was startled, "Princess, living here, you can still know what's happening outside?"
Princess Na Xing was practically under house arrest here, yet she still knew what happened today. It seems this Princess is truly not simple.
Na Xing said, "In front of you, there's no need for me to pretend. It's still the same message: the Yan State's doors are always open for you."
"Thank you, Princess, I will consider it."
This time, Shen Yulou was truly a little tempted.
He felt somewhat disheartened by Emperor Ren.
Although he had never intended to pledge allegiance to the Old Emperor from the beginning.
But he had, in a way, solved quite a few problems for him.
Yet, the Old Emperor so readily believed slanderous words, not even giving him a chance to explain, and almost had him killed outside.
What kind of emperor would anyone be loyal to?
However, Shen Yulou's foundation wasn't deep yet, and he was about to marry the Princess.
Although it was an arranged marriage, he was quite fond of the Princess.
Moreover, his parents and sister-in-law were also here, and it wouldn't be easy for them all to leave the country together.
Leaving Princess Na Xing's room, he saw that Li Hui had already gotten the rice flour and was preparing to leave.
The two walked out of the Imperial Heirs Residence together.
Just outside the door, they saw Qin Guiru standing under a tree, her expression complex.
Li Hui whispered, "Lord Shen, I heard Song Hu beat Zheng Feifan to death. Did His Majesty not blame him?"
"No."
Zheng Feifan had rushed out himself, and Emperor Ren had long disliked him, so his death was well-deserved.
Li Hui nodded, "But Zheng Feifan was, after all, Lord Qin's childhood sweetheart. I imagine she won't be too happy, will she?"
"It's fine, women, just coax them."
Shen Yulou walked towards Qin Guiru.
Li Hui watched with great interest. Last time, he learned two phrases from Shen Yulou and went home to coax his wife, making her very happy.
In the art of coaxing women, his admiration for Shen Yulou was boundless.
It was a rare chance to see Lord Shen coax a woman with his own eyes; he absolutely had to learn well.
Shen Yulou walked up and said.
"Gui Ru, I'm back."
Qin Guiru looked at him, her eyes complex.
"I know... Zheng Feifan, you killed him?"
"Yes." Although Song Hu was the one who acted, Song Hu represented him, so naturally, it counted as him killing him.
Qin Guiru asked, "Did you kill him because of me, or for another reason?"
Qin Guiru felt very conflicted about Zheng Feifan's death.
If he had been killed by someone else, Qin Guiru would at most feel sympathy and regret.
But Zheng Feifan was killed by Shen Yulou, and this matter was related to her, making her feel a bit guilty.
That's why she sought out Shen Yulou to ask if it was truly because of her.
She just wanted to know the answer.
Shen Yulou looked into her eyes and said.
"That's right, it was because of you."
"If it were anyone else, I would at most kick them away."
"But he was your childhood sweetheart, and every time I saw him, I felt a thorn in my throat."
"So, I had to kill him."
Qin Guiru's face changed dramatically upon hearing this answer.
She instantly felt like a sinner.
"You... how could you do that?"
Just then, Shen Yulou raised his hand and slapped Qin Guiru across the face.
With a smack.
The entire back garden seemed to fall silent.
Qin Guiru covered her face, looking at Shen Yulou in disbelief.
Shen Yulou extended his hand and placed it in front of Qin Guiru.
In his palm, there was a dead mosquito and a smear of blood.
Shen Yulou said domineeringly.
"I did all this just to prove to you that you are my woman."
"Anyone who dares to touch my woman must die!"
"No matter who."
Qin Guiru's pupils trembled slightly, then she suddenly threw herself into Shen Yulou's arms.
Standing not far away, Li Hui clutched his hair with both hands, his expression contorted.
Wang Defa!!
Astonishing!
Simply astonishing!!
Lord Shen's move completely overturned his understanding!
If a woman doesn't listen, just slap her?
He had to write this down!
Before, Li Hui always listened to his wife at home, only coaxing and coaxing.
He never thought of doing the opposite!
Brilliant!
Lord Shen is truly an extraordinary man!
After a moment of tenderness, Qin Guiru ran off with a flushed face.
Shen Yulou saw Li Hui out.
Li Hui's face was full of admiration.
"Lord Shen, you truly have a way with women. I, Li, admit defeat and must learn a few more tricks from you!"
Shen Yulou waved his hand.
"Hah! It's simple, I'll teach you two tricks."
"The first trick is 'drink more hot water!'"
"The second trick is 'if that's how you want to think, there's nothing I can do.
