At this moment, at the Su residence, Minister Su Qingshan vaguely regained consciousness.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately pulled the maidservant beside him to ask...
"What time is it?"
The maid was very happy to see his master wake up, and bowed with a smile, saying...
"Master, it is already dusk."
Su Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he hadn't been unconscious for long.
Then he heard the maid say happily,
"My lord, rest assured, our Second Prince's wedding was a grand affair, with all the civil and military officials in attendance!"
Su Qingshan: "Did the Second Madam go too?"
The maidservant replied, "Of course! The Second Madam, the Second Young Master, and the musician Yuechan all went! The Second Madam is even planning to have the musician Yuchan perform!"
Su Qingshan: ...
He felt he'd rather have stayed unconscious!
"Quickly! Quickly go and call Huaili, the Second Madam, and the musician Yuechan back to me!"
"Quickly!!!"
"Master...the Second Prince's wedding..."
Su Qingshan was so angry that his veins throbbed.
"Go now, or I'll sell you off!"
Seeing this, the maid quickly said,
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, he quickly ran out.
That's terrifying!
What is the master thinking? Their Minister's Mansion is the maternal family of the Second Prince. If they leave the wedding banquet, how will the Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine feel?
Su Qingshan: You all don't understand!
My heart is filled with bitterness, but I cannot express it!
I am just a mushroom!.
So sad!
I just hope that the little ancestor of the Shen family will stop thinking too much and stop gossiping.
At this moment, Shen Mingzhu, who was being thought of, was eating the shrimp that Crown Prince Yan Beichen had peeled with a clear conscience, while continuing to enjoy the melon.
[Host, look, that's Gongsun Yao, the heir apparent of the Duke of Protectorate.]
[Oh, Guagua, Gongsun Yao looks so simple-minded, he looks so easy to fool!]
Crown Prince Yan Beichen glanced at Gongsun Yao, the heir of the Duke of Protectorate, not far away, smiled, and continued to serve food to Shen Mingzhu.
[Host, you have a keen eye! One of his concubines, Liu Xuanxuan, is pregnant! Unfortunately, the child is destined to be lost, and she plans to use it to frame the legal wife! Poor princess, she has a father-in-law who's now an old womanizer, a spoiled and weak-willed husband, and soon to have a master scheming mother-in-law. Her broken state is truly heartbreaking!]
Gongsun Yao's pupils constricted, his breathing became rapid, his face turned deathly pale, and he pointed in the direction of Shen Mingzhu, almost unable to catch his breath.
He was so shocked that he almost screamed!
The scholar Su Huaiyuan, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back, saying,
"Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath! Look at you, we've been talking all afternoon, and you're still so impatient!"
"Lord Su."
"Alright, just sit still, the Crown Prince is still here!"
Also, what does Miss Shen mean?
Looking at her, he felt like he was hallucinating rather than having the Crown Prince personally serve her food; it was the kind of hallucination where he was living and dying in a dream.
Despite being the heir of the Duke of Protectorate, Gongsun Yao is actually simple-minded, soft-hearted, and spoiled. If it weren't for his status as the eldest son of the legitimate wife, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as heir.
[Guagua, did the Gongsun family dig up the Liu family's ancestral graves in their past lives? How come they all fall victim to the Liu family's daughter?]
[Guagua, do you think the ancestors of the Liu family once swore that even if only one weak woman remained in the Liu family, she would be determined to wipe out the entire Gongsun family, leaving no one alive!]
The crown prince raised an eyebrow; this remains to be seen.
Gongsun Yao's face drained of all color!
Is there?
The ministers in the hall asked: What grudge or hatred is this?
Wives and young ladies: Can the Liu family really succeed in getting revenge?
Can a frail woman really do it?
[Host, the Liu family and the Gongsun family don't really have any deep-seated hatred. It's just that they're both love-struck. The foundation laid by the Gongsun family's ancestor is destined to fall into the hands of the Liu sisters!]
Gongsun Yao glared at Liu Ruyan, who was not far away, with a gloomy expression.
He absolutely will not allow it.
The Gongsun family's entire fortune belongs to him!!!
[Guagua, what's going on with Liu Xuanxuan? Why didn't she give birth to this child? As a concubine in the household, having a child is essential for her stability.]
[Host, Liu Xuanxuan isn't pregnant at all. She took a fake pregnancy pill; her pulse showed signs of pregnancy, but it would have been exposed eventually. Framed and eliminated the Prince Heir wife is the option that maximizes her benefits. Isn't a vicious Crown Prince's wife, hated by the Crown Prince, easier to deal with than a virtuous and kind one?!]
[Guagua, she's so vicious!!!]
Gongsun Yao: ...
The stinger of a wasp is as venomous as a woman's heart!
Many ministers looked at Gongsun Yao with sympathy.
He now understands that he will protect his wife.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Gongsun Yao, and following her gaze, she saw Liu Ruyan not far away. She had come to the wedding banquet as the second wife of the Duke of Huguo!
Even the mighty Duke Sun Yuan, the protector of the nation, could not resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
He still wants to marry Liu Ruyan!
Gongsun Yuan: I still have a few years left to live. What's wrong with wanting to live a little more happily?
Gongsun Yao: Father, you're so foolish!
Gongsun Yuan: You unfilial son, shut up!
Yan Beichen glanced at Shen Mingzhu's leisurely demeanor beside him, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Yan Beichen beside her and smiled gently.
[Guagua, His Highness the Crown Prince is so gentle! The shrimp he peeled are springy and smooth, and the dishes he served are a perfect balance of meat and vegetables, very nutritious. He's doing a good job learning traditional male virtues.]
[Host, that's your future husband. Isn't it only right that he takes good care of you? Besides, he's enjoying doing all this! Look at his foxy, affectionate eyes—they're practically melting!]
Crown Prince Yan Beichen's expression instantly returned to its usual aloof and noble demeanor, like an unapproachable flower on a high mountain.
He didn't!
[Host, the heir apparent of the Duke of Protectorate, Gongsun Yao, has been watching you.]
[Guagua, why is he looking at me like that!]
[Host, your charm is limitless, and you're so beautiful! It's pleasing to the eye to look at you more!]
[Ahhh! Host, look at how possessive the Crown Prince is of his food! He's so afraid you'll be taken away!]
Hearing the system's screeching groundhog, Shen Mingzhu glanced at Yan Beichen beside her.
Yan Beichen coughed softly, his ears felt hot, and he felt a little excited.
"Sister Mingzhu, what is it? I can help you."
Shen Mingzhu shook her head, remained silent for three seconds, and then her inner thoughts resonated once more.
[Guagua, His Highness the Crown Prince isn't like that at all. You're making him sound like he's so desperate.]
[Host, please adopt a proper attitude. What Guagua said is true, what Guagua said is correct, and no rebuttal will be accepted!!!]
Shen Mingzhu: You brat, you're being arrogant again!
