"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?
Once the matter regarding the third prince was thrown over to Lord Pan , Shen Ping felt that he could once again breathe and happily shared Chen Chu Chu 's excitement of Shen Qin's arrival .Even Shen Yu was much more happier than she was before with Chen Min Min 's continous maniacally raving . She would everyday order the servants to clean the blessings courtyard and would ask the housekeeper to purchase the freshest meat in the capital .Shen Qin 's husband ; Xi Jingming village was at just two days distance , and Shen Qin's letter arrived three days ago meaning that Shen Qin will be arriving today !Chen Chu Chu made every thing perfect not wanting to upset her daughter even in the slightest ; she even made sure to plant some begonia's from Shen Miao's courtyard .of course those flower were taken without Shen Miao's consent but Chen Chu Chu was used to throwing her weight around and didn't care about the weak and frail mother daughter p
Shen Ping was absolutely horrified; kneeling like the others ministers , Shen Ping could feel his teeth chattering . At the end the one thing that he feared; finally happened . Thankfully , he made Lord Pan take this brun for him .Shen Ping slowly raised his head but once his eyes laid on Lord Pan 's body or what remains of it ; he involuntarily shuddered, if he didn't make Lord Pan his human shield then this would be him! Ah , what would have happen to him , no matter how much he helped the third prince ; Shen Ping was well aware of his worth in the eyes of the person be served. One mistake and Feng Tian Ye wouldn't even bother to look at the years of his services before beheading him and making an example out him ."So " Feng Tian Ye said in a drawling voice "none of my faithful ministers could whip up an antidote for the poison but it only took a day for my dear seventh brother to find that eccentric and have him make an antidote , so why in the
