Chapter 300: The Voice Reappears
Lu Yingxing looked up in astonishment, but when he met his father's deep eyes, he instantly understood that this was a tacit understanding between them. It seemed that his father had made other arrangements for the so-called concubine, but...
Just as he was thinking about how to refuse so as not to affect his father's arrangements, suddenly, a familiar voice came from his mind.
【Ah! 】
[You're still considering it, huh? Very good! ]
Lu Yingxing turned back in disbelief, looking at Shen Yu's suddenly cold eyes. He felt that the problem was serious this time... He actually heard his wife's voice again! ?
He thought about it for a long time some time ago, and he was sure that the voice in his heart disappeared after his wife decided to stay, so the reappearance of the voice in his heart meant... his wife was leaving! ?
How is this possible! !
He refused without even thinking, "No way, no matter what you want to do, I will never marry a concubine, let alone a concubine." He emphasized that if you continue to play around, your beloved daughter-in-law will run away! !
After saying that, he immediately walked over, leaned over and hugged Shen Yu in his arms. Lu Yingxing felt his heartbeat quickening, his hands and feet getting cold, and a life-threatening fear was spreading.
His lightly-worded promise was too destructive and instantly stirred up a wave. After looking at each other, the officials of Zhuo City quickly took over the conversation and said meaningfully, "Since ancient times, the expansion of the royal family has been a reasonable act in accordance with the will of heaven. Even though the princess has made great contributions to Zhuo City and has been blessed by many people, a jealous princess who enjoys the favor of the prince alone may not be good for Zhuo City in the long run! I am even more afraid that this move... may affect the reputation of the princess and the reputation of the prince, which is really inappropriate."
"Yes, we have to be extremely careful about the pros and cons involved." Another person stepped forward and said.
Wu Zhong saw that Shen Yu had no reaction, and his eyes stayed on the prince for a moment, then he raised a gentle smile and said, "I'm afraid you have forgotten that the princess is not only my Zhuocheng princess, but also the princess of Luocheng through marriage. You slandered the princess's character? Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"No, no, the uncles didn't mean that, it's just... just,"
Tan Daixue stood up, looked righteous, and knelt down directly, "Sister Princess, what woman doesn't want to grow old with one person? But Prince Zhuo is the emperor of a city, and he can't help himself. Xue'er only asks for a house in the backyard. I promise that I will never destroy your relationship. Sister Princess, please consider Zhuo City and the reputation of the prince first."
They looked at each other for a few seconds and said in unison: "Xue'er is right, Princess Zhuo must consider Zhuo Cheng and the prince."
A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Yingxing's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of obvious sarcasm, "Ha!"
No wonder my father said that, it turns out that they had already arranged it... Was it because he was away for too long that these people forgot whose fiefdom this was?"
"What if I say no?" Shen Yu's lazy voice came, bringing Lu Yingxing back to his senses.
[Sure enough, I guessed it right. Lu Yingxing is a big trouble! ]
[Damn it, whoever wants this lousy princess can be her! I’m so fed up!]
Lu Yingxing was alarmed when he heard the voice, and immediately aligned himself with his wife, "What if I say no?"
Tsk! Shen Yu glared at the scholar next to him. He was annoyed!
"Sister Princess..." Tan Daixue looked pitiful. This was originally the disguise she was best at, but now she was not happy at all.
Because Prince Zhuo's eyes were always on the poor man, his words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into her heart. When had Tan Daixue ever been insulted like this? She was the daughter of the city lord of a noble status in Zhuo City, and she was the most popular at any banquet.
She had thought that with her looks and family background, becoming Prince Zhuo's concubine was a foregone conclusion. After all, her father was the old prince's confidant, and she had met the young Prince Zhuo a few times in her childhood. Although they could not play together, they were childhood sweethearts after all!
Shen Yu was the daughter of a courtier in Luocheng who was forced into marriage. Prince Zhuo must have been wary and disliked her, right? After entering the palace, I used some tricks to make her die of illness. I guess no one would care. After she was gone, I would be the legitimate wife of Prince Zhuo.
Besides, even old Prince Zhuo had agreed to take a concubine, so who would dare to object?
As a result, everything today was beyond her expectations. Even those people in Prince Zhuo's Mansion protected Shen Yu? Did they recognize the wrong master? What virtue did that woman have?
Jealousy and resentment were almost swallowing her up. Tan Daixue knew that she could no longer control her emotions, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be pitiful to hide her already distorted expression.
Shen Yu, who was still sitting on the chair, had seen enough of the performance and had no intention of getting up.
She was born beautiful, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes were three parts coquettish and seven parts cold, and between her half-smile and half-smile, she hid an unquestionable cold arrogance, "Ms. Tan, are you hearing impaired? My brother just said that I don't have a sister as old as you. Besides, I have very high standards for the conduct of my brothers and sisters. You are a self-degrading person who is eager to be a concubine, so you are not suitable."
"Besides, you said that Zhuocheng is the most important thing, so Lu Yingxing should take you as a concubine? Ha! Where's your face? Are you planning to bring tens of millions of taels of dowry? Or do you have the Midas touch? If I remember correctly, the several large workshops newly built in Zhuocheng are all under my personal name, Shen Yu? Those people I recruited from Luocheng to work also signed contracts with me, right?"
After that, she stood up, walked to Tan Daixue step by step, slowly approached, stretched out a finger to lift her chin, and smiled warmly, "More importantly, I, Shen Yu... don't insist on being your Zhuocheng princess, right? With what I have in my hands, you say I can go anywhere? Don't forget, you are still in Luocheng. If you go forward, there is also Youcheng... You, the daughter of the acting city lord of Zhuocheng, dare to provoke me in person? You are really brave... Let alone you, even if the acting city lord's father comes, do you think he dares to bark in front of me?"
It's not that Shen Yu doesn't know how to quarrel or slap others in the face. She was just too lazy to do it before and she felt it was unnecessary. She would leave Luocheng sooner or later anyway, so it's better to keep things simple.
But it’s different now. Zhuocheng is the place where she and her brothers and sisters will settle down in the future... She hasn’t even returned to Zhuocheng yet, and he dares to intimidate her?
Shen Yu didn't think that King Zhuo, who had fought on the battlefield all his life, would make such a low-level mistake.
You want to use her to make an example of someone, right?
You want her to establish her authority, right?
It’s a good idea, but next time please ask her whether Shen Yu wants it or not!
He glared at someone beside him who had a pitiful expression.
[Heh, you're playing me, right?]
[You want me to take action, right? Sure! ]
It depends on whether you and your son can afford the consequences!
