All the officials in the court wanted to know when the Second Young Master Su would discover his wife's secret.
[Guagua, Madam Su is putting on a show of being a wife with ulterior motives!]
[Host, don't you think Su Huaili, the Second Young Master Su, is a terrible victim?]
Shen Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, deeply moved.
Yes, the Second Young Master Su is indeed a great misfortune, but the Second Madam Su and the musician are truly in love!
Unfortunately, Minister Su Qingshu was not in the hall. If he were, he would probably faint again!
[Host, let me tell you a secret: the musician took extra precautions to stay in the Su family mansion!]
All the officials: What kind of insurance?
Emperor Jingyuan: This musician is really going all out for her love!
Shen Changyuan: Is this matter not over yet?
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: Crown Princess, please continue!
[Guagua, what else did the musician do?]
[Hehehe~~~ Host, the musician and the Second Young Master Su, Su Huaili, also have a romantic relationship!]
Wow! No wonder Young Master Su was so comfortable with the musician staying with his wife, now I understand!
However, he never expected that she was her true love, and he was just an accident! Hahaha...
A burst of laughter reached the ears of everyone present.
The entire court was stunned!
The musician is really going all out!
With this kind of perseverance, there's nothing you can't succeed at.
Although this revelation was shocking, it certainly served as a wake-up call for the entire court.
From now on, we must be wary not only of men, but also of women.
Regardless of gender, everyone should protect themselves!
Soon, the chief steward, Wang Defu, ran back.
Seeing the feline overlord lying in the basket, he felt utterly wronged!
After seeing this, Emperor Jingyuan muttered something under his breath.
"Defu, you've gone through so much trouble!"
"This servant is not tired. This servant is willing to serve Your Majesty with his life, even unto death."
After finishing speaking, he quietly described the tragic situation on Consort Li's side.
Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand.
"It's alright, just tell them to behave! They'll know what they should and shouldn't say!"
"Yes."
What Shen Mingzhu didn't know was that, because of her sentiments, after the court session, the entire capital, from the imperial court to the harem, conducted a self-examination in their respective residences.
They are afraid of something "shameful" happening in their own family.
They didn't want to lose face and become known throughout Shengjing.
At that moment, Shen Mingzhu was having a great time!
[Host, stop laughing! You should think about what to do for Shen Jiaojiao's makeup after court.]
[Guagua, do I need to prepare this? My beautiful mother should prepare it for me; my storeroom is full of good things, I won't give it to her.]
[Host, be careful! Shen Jiaojiao and Liu Ruyan, the true love of the Duke of Huguo, have become close friends. They are not to be underestimated.]
[Holy crap! They conspired together after just one meal? The most pitiful one should be Prince Gongsun Yao, right?]
Thinking of what happened at Tianxiang Tower yesterday, all the officials frowned.
Minister of War Zhou Wenwu and Minister of Personnel Gu Ci, didn't they advise the Duke of Protector of the State?
[Host, you're so clever! With just a few words from that pillow talk, the Duke of Huguo's heart has melted. He can no longer think about his son; he wants to have a precious little son.]
Well...
[Guagua, lust is a dangerous thing, but the Duke of Protectorate just won't listen to reason. He'll regret it someday!]
All the officials in the court nodded in agreement.
Emperor Jingyuan: It seems I should pay more attention to the Duke of Huguo's mansion and keep an eye on his heir, Gongsun Yao.
The Duke of Huguo followed Emperor Taizu in conquering the country, and he did not want to see his household decline.
[By the way, Guagua, can I go home after court today?]
[Yes, host! You can go with your father. The Marquis's mansion is marrying off its daughter today, and you and your father have worked diligently and conscientiously!]
[Sigh...it's a pity there's no overtime pay! That's how capitalists have always been!]
Emperor Jingyuan: What kind of family is a capitalist?
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: What is overtime pay?
He's nothing but a good-for-nothing!
Thinking of the Marquis's daughter's marriage today, Emperor Jingyuan immediately left the court.
Upon hearing that the court session was over, Shen Mingzhu ran straight to Shen Changyuan and scooped the cat from the basket into her arms.
"Dad, let's take the cat home quickly. I want to go back and rest for a while."
"Okay."
The father and daughter turned and left.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: Can't you see me, such a big person?
Watching Shen Mingzhu's retreating figure, Crown Prince Yan Beichen followed closely behind.
[Host, Crown Prince Yan Beichen is always by your side; he can't be without you for a moment!]
[Guagua, do you think the Crown Prince is sick?]
What illness does he have?
[He has contracted a "I can't live without Mingzhu" disease!!!]
[Host, it has to be you again!]
Upon hearing this, the adults who were leaving the court nearby all covered their mouths and chuckled.
Some daring ministers even tried to peek at Crown Prince Yan Beichen, only to be met with a sharp glare from him, nearly causing them to kneel down.
[I've been sentenced to lifelong loneliness by love, but I won't let go, and I won't fight back. Guagua, I've made up my mind. If Crown Prince Yan Beichen dares to mess with me, I'll imprison him and sentence him to lifelong loneliness!!!]
Shen Mingzhu sang a line of a song, and then said the following words, which almost made Crown Prince Yan Beichen explode with anger!
This Miss Shen is so outrageous!
He was determined to win her heart and then teach her a lesson!
Let her live a life of solitude, imprisoned within himself, for only he can save her!
Shen Changyuan was carrying a basket, and his legs were trembling.
Especially knowing that the Crown Prince was right behind them.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you trembling a little? Do you have rheumatism?"
"Dad's alright, he's alright! He'll be fine in a couple of days."
"Oh~"
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Shen Changyuan a couple more times, then happily got into the carriage with her cat.
As soon as she sat down, Crown Prince Yan Beichen also got into the carriage.
Looking at him from a distance, he felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Yan Beichen waved his hand.
"Lord Shen, there's no need for such formalities."
Then he looked at Shen Mingzhu.
"Miss Shen, would you mind sharing a carriage?"
Shen Mingzhu petted her cat and gave him a sweet smile.
"I don't mind."
The cat opened its eyes and glanced at Crown Prince Yan Beichen, then closed them again, finding a comfortable position in Shen Mingzhu's arms to continue its feigned sleep.
[Host, look at the Crown Prince's drool-worthy eyes; he's subtly seducing you!]
[Guagua, all I can say is that he has excellent taste!]
[Host, today is the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan's wedding. Do you think he's regretting it to death right now?]
[Guagua, I don't know if he regrets it to death, but I know I don't. That scumbag, I wouldn't even want him!]
Shen Changyuan secretly glanced at the Crown Prince; thankfully, he wasn't angry.
[Host, why don't you use the body fragrance pills that were given away in the store last time? The Crown Prince will definitely be so infatuated with you that he'll become an idiot!]
Crown Prince: You're the one who's mentally challenged!
