"Brother " Shen Xinyi softly called Shen Qi to stop , ever since Shen Qi met Chen Ling , he was in a hurry to get his sister out of Shen manor .In this house only his father would act as a fool to let man like Chen Ling live , Shen Qi simply couldn't understand his father was the left prime minister , why couldn't he be more firm and decisive ? His father could not even see through Chen Ling, how did he became the prime minister? What Shen Qi didn't know was ; Feng Tian Ye helped Shen Ping a lot in his career , Feng Tian Ye controlled Shen Ping and in return controlled a great part of court without even showing his fox tail.
"What is it?" Shen Qi who was in a hurry slowed his pace a little
"I want to go and see Shen Miao , concubine mother Han wasn't present in the pavillion this morning, I want to see what happened to them " earlier this morning Shen Yu said that Shen Miao suffered from fever and could not be present for paying respect to old matriarch . She
"Princess " it was late at night but Shen Xinyi has sent Bai Ze to do her bidding .Truth be told Bai Ze didn't agree with this plan of his mistress it was too risky and a single mistake could drag both her and Shen Qi down ."were you successful?" Shen Xinyi didn't even looked up, she was practising the art of copying other's writings ."Yes " Bai Ze pulled out a letter from his sleeves and placed it on Shen Xinyi 's desk .This was the letter that a secret bodygaurd sent Shen Yu after the latter asked the copy master to write a letter in Shen Xinyi 's handwriting .Shen Xinyi who has been paying attention to Shen Yu all week long knew that Shen Yu's requested letter will be arriving today .Therefore; She sent Bai Ze to grab that letter for her .Originally Bai ze wanted to refuse because entering a lady's room late at night can have him mistaken as a flower thief but this was his princess's order and he could ofcourse not refuse .Gritting his teeth , Ba
"Princess, Prime minister Shen is requesting for a meeting with you " Shishi had actually made it sound more respectful but Shen Xinyi knew that her father must have demanded to see her instead of requesting to meet with her ."Oh " Shen Xinyi made a sound of acknowledgement but didn't move instead she picked up a crispy peanut dumpling " bring him to the outer courtyard ; tell him I'm having my meal right now "Shen Ping might be in hurry to meet with her and Shen Qi but the siblings were in no rush at all. Shen Xinyi had asked Shen Qi to avoid Shen Ping in the palace's court . She already knew that Since Shen Yu's little trick of making rumours fly failed , the Shen couple would surely change the course of their scheme to Shen Qi .*********"You sure took your time !"Shen Ping arrived at the crack of dawn at Shen Xinyi 's mansion but the latter didn't even gave anyface to meet him.Not to mention she took an hour to finish her measl
When Shen Xinyi arrived at the men quarters , she found that everyone was surroding A crying Chen Min Min who was wrapped in thin white bed sheet .While every one had a gloating experssion on their faces only mother Han shi and Shen Miao lookee worriedly at Shen Xinyi .Throwing a comforting look at the mother daughter pair ; Shen Xinyi turned to look at Her so called father ."Look what your brother did!" pointing at the half naked Chen Min Min , Shen Ping roared"What did my brother do ?" Shen Xinyi had a dumbfounded expression as she asked Shen Ping ."You ...." Shen Ping never thought that Shen Xinyi would actually ask something like this to him, he was a man afterall how could he talk about his niece in such a way ?"Sister, it might come as a shock but brother Qi slept with cousin Min Min " Shen Yu who had her arms wrapped around Chen Min Min spoke calmly .Her face looked pitiful and weak ; but inwardly she was rejoicing ."O
Shen family looked at the flailing man; their gazes pensive as they looked at his failed attempts for escaping.Shen Ping suddenly felt a feeling of dread suddenly rising in his heart as if he knew that this wasn't the end, he took a step forward clearly intending to stop whatever was happening in front of him, right now he no longer cared about Chen Min Min's ruined innocence all he knew was that he cannot let this scene to get even more embarrassing than it already was, Shen Ping was someone who liked to scheme behind the back of others so that he would be able to save his face and successfully obtain his objectives but today wasn't his day."Rip his mask off " Shen Xinyi didn't know what was going in Shen Ping's mind but she instinctively knew that if she delayed further Shen Ping might try to clear off some of his responsibility in this matter, he was the master of this manor yet he framed his own son with allegations of raping a young woman.Shishi l
When Shen Yu was mulling over the setbacks this failure would bring her , Governor Chen was examining her expression .He wasn't a fool ; he himself was a man with troubles in his inner courtyard.How could he not understand what was happening? It was clear that Shen Qi was the one who was supposed to be with Chen Min Min however unexpectedly Shen Qi was changed to Chen Ling.Governor Chen shook his head in disappointment ; Shen Ping was the country's prime minister yet he was so muddleheaded .Governor Chen had heard the rumours about Shen Yu being the star of phenoixe but her becoming the Empress was yet to happen, was sacrificing his only son worth it?"Ha, what a good show " Feng Tian Ming was leaning against his chair and no expression can be detected on his face yet his voice was full of mirth Feng Tian Chen was having a hard time stopping that little curl of his lips , looking at the ridicule in the eyes of the two prince Shen Ping's old face flushed red
"I don't know anything ! all I know that I left my daughter at your house, brother in law, how come in just a month you and your family ruined both of my children! I demand justice for them , you promised me that as long as I was willing you will let Min Min be Shen Qi 's official wife ! what's the meaning of this?"Chen Murong Roared , previously Shen Ping had asked him to come to the capital with his wife incase , Shen Ping wasn't able to coarse Shen Qi into marrying Chen Min Min but who would have known that when he arrived at the capital ; he would be given such a devastating news .In fact Chen Murong didn't care about Chen Min Min but he cared about the honour and resources she would have brought the Chen family if she married Shen Qi but now She was ruined by her own brother! A perfect chess piece was ruined just like that?No he wasn't willing if he can'thave Shen Qi submit to his family then he will make Shen Ping take care of their fami
"What the hell ? Do you mean to say you can't cure this lady " Chen Min Min 's irate voice boomed in Glorious pavillion .The third prince w asnt alone , Chen Min Min too wae seriously angry with the Shen family.It was them who asked her to come to their manor and under their continuous coaxing She ,Chen Min Min did something so atrocious but when things went wrong, the Shen family were the one's who abandoned her at extremely high speed .This made Chen Min Min so mad that she started to create a fuss every now and then not caring slightest about her pure white lily image ."Min Min calm down " Chen Chu Chu felt her head throb, it has been weeks since that incident happened but the fire was yet to die down and with Chen Min Min 's arrogant attitude , she kept reminding them that it was their scheme and if they didn't do as she asked then she will go ahead and come clean in front of Shen Qi and Shen Xinyi . Shen Qi was still had some use to them and they cannot
"Lord Shen, what do you mean by , you couldn't get an antidote! Are you too busy with your daughter's arrival that you have forgotten , who your master is!"Feng Tian Ye was absolutely livid in rage ; his face flushed red in anger . It has been two days but neither his concubine nor his ministers could find a cure to his consort's poisoning , while Feng Tian Ye didn't care about his wife's life and death , Qiao Yijin still held some value to him and the way things were going ; the Empress was sure to give him divorce from her niece . Not only will Feng Tian Ye loose some of his footing in the court ; he will be the first man to ever be divorced by his wife!It was always the husband who awarded divorce to his wife , but in his case it was going all wrong . If Qiao Yijin were to divorce him ; where will he put his face?Not to mention , not one of his minister could help him ; it was just a poison , was it too difficult to get a cure for it?
" Sister, we should look for third miss soon even if second miss is not with her, but we should still check" said Han shi softly, fully exerting her dainty white lotus aura "I just came back from the men's banquet, many of the honorable guests are drunk too and they are resting in the men's quarters. The alcohol in our family is too strong and so perhaps - I don't want to make any assumptions but it's still safe than being sorry"She had deliberately pointed out that the male guests were drunk and were sleeping in their resting quarters, which was close to the banquet hall. In case Shen Xinyi and Shen Miao really got drunk and mistook the men's resting quarters as female ones what would happened?Luo Tong's eyes sharpened as she looked at Han Shi.Chen Chu Chu shook her head and admonished, Han Shi" what kind of non sense are you talking about? Our Shen family raised our daughters with nothing but ideal teachings and morals, they will never do something l
On the other side of the female guests, no one knew what trouble Chen Chu Chu was brewing, now that Shen Xinyi wasn't in the room, the only person who got ignored was Luo Tong. These ladies were Chen Chu Chu's friends and would naturally be on her side whether she was with them, or not. So even when Chen Chu Chu left the banquet hall, neither of them went ahead and conversed with Luo Tong. Even though they couldn't ridicule Luo Tong because of Luo Yaxian, together they worked hard to make Luo Tong feel sick and upset. They purposely ignored her and treated her coldly, they talked with Shen Yu and Shen Qin and even pretended to care about Liu Shi and Shen Rui, by speaking a few words to them. Only Luo Tong was ignored.Luo Tong wasn't angry, she was the granddaughter of the heavenly doctor Luo Yaxian and the daughter of the God of War, the attitude of these madams of small houses never bothered her before, so while the madams and their daughter conversed with their Shen
In the room that far overlooked the man's quarters, Shen Yu sat on the couch, though she was surrounded by numerous ladies of her age, she hardly listened to what they were saying, instead, all her attention was on the man’s quarters where Shen Xinyi was going to lose both her virtue and her marriage!Chen Chu Chu who was sitting beside her daughter noticed this oddity of hers and immediately coughed to remind Shen Yu,” you need to act like you know nothing of today’s matter or else things will go troublesome, you are smarter than this Yu’er” Chen Chu Chu whispered so softly as she tucked the lock of Shen Yu’s hair behind her ear that no one other than Shen Yu heard what she said, with her simpering smile and gentle actions, no one doubted her instead they all thought that Chen Chu Chu was speaking of something private to her daughter.Shen Yu eased her expression but she was still feeling a bit restless “ mother, are you
On the other hand, Chen Xiang was anxiously waiting for Shen Miao and Shen Xinyi. She felt really restless as she walked back and forth behind the moongate that joined the guest's sleeping quarters. She was so nervous that she almost made her accomplice go dizzy." Sister Chen don't you worry, the plan is completely flawless, nothing would go wrong, second mistress and third mistress will be coming soon. You should rest at ease and stay still what if they hear you ?" the young maid behind her couldn't help warn Chen Xiang.This moongate faced the courtyard with the bamboo forest, for the sake of their plans, Chen Chu Chu and Shen Yu have worked really hard. Even though it was really according to the customs to hold a banquet next to men's sleeping quarters. Chen Chu Chu and Shen Yu were willing to take the risk. They were willing but Chen Xiang was not, she was sure that something will definitely go wrong - the current second mistress, she doesn
The expressions of the madams who were conversing with Chen Chu Chu turned ugly, of course, they knew that Chen Chu Chu has been demoted to a concubine from the position of the secondary wife but they have been socialising with Chen Chu Chu for more than a decade, how can they start sucking up to Luo Tong just like that? Not to mention who was Luo Tong? She was the apple of the eye of Luo Yaxian, the legendary miracle doctor who don't give face to anyone other than the Imperial family. For a decade they sucked up to Chen Chu Chu while silently dissing Luo Tong behind her back, they have spent so many efforts in siding with Chen Chu Chu, how can they just give it all up without getting anything in return? With Chen Chu Chu they might at least be able to get some benefits but with Luo Tong, this legendary heroine - they might not receive anything at all! Just when the atmosphere was getting stale, and suffocating, Chen Min Min arrived with her mother Liu Yanxiao, the t
Shen Yu never wanted to listen to Chen Chu Chu‘s advice but she understood her status in the family, her grandmother and father loved to dote on her but that was only because she was ‘ born ‘ with the phoenix destiny if not they wouldn't have bothered with her at all. Now that she received the warning look from her mother she understandably looked away from Feng Tian Ming’s body even though she didn't want to! On what basis was she being asked to turn her gaze away from Feng Tian Ming’s body? While Shen Xinyi that bitch could stand next to him? Why? Why was she given as a sacrificial lamb to Feng Tian Ye?Shen Yu’s heart went cold, like her father she was born with high aspirations. She didn't like the attitude of the Luo family who looked down at her and her family a little too much. And she wasn't satisfied being just a daughter of the concubine either, whether it was Shen Xinyi or Shen Qi, she was not any less than them so why shou
Feng Tian Ming's words were like thorns sticking in the hearts of the Shen family . Shen Ping was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to raise his head to look Feng Tian Ming in the eye. Everyone in the Ming Empire knew about his shameless past but since Shen Ping succeeded in crawling all the way up to the imperial court and became the Right Prime minister of the Ming Country, no one dared to bring his past up anymore.Because of this Shen Ping has more or less forgotten about his deeds, he has forgotten that he was able to become the prime minister in the imperial court all because he shamelessly clung on to the Luo family, leeching off their fame and success as the only son in law of Luo Yaxian.If not for Feng Tian Ming bringing the matter up , Shen Ping would have completely thrown it in the back of his head , never to be retrieved again .If someone else dared to say this he would have cleaned that person up within seconds but t
Once Chen Ping gave him a way out, Shen Ping calmed down and immediately knelt and welcomed the sixth and seventh prince , then greeted the two loudly “ Long Live his highness, Prince Liu , Long Live his highness, Prince Qi !”Following his loud greeting , Feng Tian Ming arrived behind him was his sixth brother Feng Tian Chen who was pushing his wheelchair . Even though Feng Tian Ming was sitting lazily in a wheelchair , his noble aura wasn’t diminished in the least . Instead with his black robe that was embroidered with an intrinsic red spider lily , he looked even more dangerous and refined . Those red hues mixed in those lighting blue eyes glittered under the sun, making everyone who faced him shiver.Shen Xinyi has just arrived at the front entrance seeing everyone kneeling in front of the two Princes , she too got on her knees with the help of HengHeng . She slightly raised her eyebrow and looked at Feng Tian Ming who was already look
“ Princess, are we really going to let her take third miss, just like that ?” Heng Heng who was standing behind Shen Xinyi immediately asked once Shen Yu was gone. She didn’t say anything earlier because she knew that her mistress wouldn’t let the eldest miss of the Shen family take advantage of the third miss so easily but she was still a little worried.Although Heng Heng didn’t know what was wrong with the hairpin that Shen Yu bestowed on the third miss. She still knew that something must be wrong with that hairpin and could cause hurt to Shen Miao according to the willingness that Shen Yu showed towards giving it to Shen Miao despite the latter’s refusal. Shen Yu might be a pretty good pretender but to Heng Heng and Shi Shi who have seen the cruelty of the world, she was nothing. They could see it with just one glance that Shen Yu approached them with evil intentions, no matter how bright and innocent her smile was it couldn&rsquo
