Chapter 174

On the way back, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing at what Ji Heng said.

It's probably that her smile is too obvious, and tong'er and Bai Xue also look at each other. Tong'er asked, "girl, what did you say to the Duke of the country? So happy?"

"It's just gossip." Jiang Li Dao.

She really didn't expect that in Ji Heng's eyes, Xue Fangfei in the past eventually got a "beauty" evaluation. This is somewhat surprising to her. You know, Ji Hong is the first beauty of Beiyan. Xue Fangfei in those days thought that Ji Hong was completely indifferent. She always thought that the appearance was of no great use. Now the past appearance got the title of a beauty in Ji Hong, but it made her feel funny.

Xue Fangfei was about beautiful. But now Miss Jiang Er can be called a little beauty at most. If she is gorgeous, it is still too far away. I don't think Ji Hong will say a "beauty" comment on herself now.

But going to the government house before tonight also made her feel at ease. She gradually found that whenever she wanted to make an important decision, it seemed that she would feel confident even if she said something insignificant with Ji Heng. In the past, Jiang Li only heard the saying "it's good to enjoy the cool by leaning against a big tree", but he didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but now he has completely learned it.

No wonder so many people in the world have to find a "big tree" for themselves by all means.

But even if there is a big tree, the rest needs to be done by yourself. The carriage drove slowly on the way back to Jiang Fu. Jiang Li was idle. Now Princess Yongning, who was demoted to commoners, must not be able to restrain herself for long, and she would go to find Shen Yurong. Princess Yongning suffered such a "grievance" because of Shen Yurong. It used to be because she had to endure lovesickness in order to protect her baby in the Li family. Now that the whole world knows it, she doesn't have to hide it anymore. Even without the identity of princess, Princess Yongning is still a lot free.

But soon, Princess Yongning will understand the cruelty of reality.

When she was in the Shen family, Xue Fangfei saw clearly the shrewdness and coolness of the Shen family at the expense of her life. What is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality is actually an illusion. Without the princess identity, this golden branch and jade leaf, once he comes back to the Shen family, I'm afraid he won't get the same noble treatment as before. Even the Shen family would blame Shen Yurong for everything she suffered.

Princess Yongning has to suffer.

The smile on the corner of her lips was lighter again. She looked at her hand and slowly clenched it.

Soon, from the day she always wanted to come, soon.

……

As Jiang Li thought, Princess Yongning, who had stayed in the inn for a long time, finally came to the Shenfu.

She wears a hat on her head. At first, Princess Yongning thought that even people in Yanjing City knew about her and would never dare to point out in front of her. But soon Princess Yongning found herself wrong. No matter where she went, her eyes followed her closely. She could clearly feel the whispers and ridicule in the crowd, which made her very unhappy. But when she habitually wanted to order the bodyguard to take down those gossipers, she found that there was nothing beside her except Mei Xiang.

Bad reputation seems to be imprinted on her face. No matter where she goes, she will accept the ridicule of the crowd. Princess Yongning was very uncomfortable. She suddenly understood the reason why Xue Fangfei had stayed in the Shen family after the affair with others came out. Of course, Shen Yurong deliberately banned her feet, but presumably even if Shen Yurong could let Xue Fangfei go out at will, Xue Fangfei would not dare.

I'm afraid I'll be drowned by the spittle stars of Yanjing people.

These untouchables, Princess Yongning thought with hatred. She couldn't remember every face in the crowd, so she couldn't wait for Princess Liu to catch all these people after returning to the inn. These Dalits seemed to know the news that she was demoted to commoners, and they were confident. Those who dared not even look at her skirt on weekdays can now point at her and talk recklessly.

When she could hardly bear it and almost didn't have the courage to go out of the inn door, Mei Xiang brought some beans. Princess Yongning, like a treasure, put this hat on her head and hurried out of the door, almost in a panic. Mei Xiang followed her, and they could hear the malicious laughter behind her.

Princess Yongning almost bit her lips with hatred.

King Cheng left the silver, and Mei Xiang found a carriage. Princess Yongning and Mei Xiang sat in the carriage and came to the Shenfu.

Shenfu is still as usual, just the four words "No.1 scholar and" on the plaque. I don't know if it's because Shenfu has been suddenly changed recently, and even servants don't want to clean it. The golden plaque is covered with ash. Seeing a sense of decadence, when Princess Yongning's carriage stopped at the door of Shen's house, passers-by looked at this end. Recently, the Shen family has also become the center of discussion. At this time, when someone comes to the Shen family as a guest, it is natural to be curious.

Princess Yongning hurriedly got out of the carriage and asked Mei Xiang to knock on the door. The porter originally knew Princess Yongning. Once upon a time, I met Princess Yongning, respectful, and hurried to please Mei Xiang. When I saw them today, I was surprised at first, then hesitated, and didn't open the door immediately.

"Bold!" Mei Xiang whispered, "don't open the door for the master!"

The boy seemed to react and seemed to struggle. Seeing Mei Xiang's fierce voice and expression, he opened the door.

Princess Yongning looked at the boy's every move, and her heart was extremely angry. But a watchdog, unexpectedly also learned to step on the low and hold high, so he didn't pay attention to himself. Princess Yongning made up her mind that when she saw Shen Yurong, she must let Shen Yurong find a reason to sell this boy!

The servants in the Shen mansion were still the usual ones, but the atmosphere was much lower than before. As soon as Princess Yongning entered Shen's mansion, she took off her hat. She doesn't have to hide her ears and eyes here. When the servants of the Shen family saw her, none of them came to meet her, all of them pretending not to see. After Princess Yongning went to the front, she looked at her in the back with inexplicable eyes.

Princess Yongning is angry, but she hasn't seen shenyurong yet. Besides, all the servants in Shen's house are so like this that they can't be replaced for a while. If it was in the past, it was only a matter of hook fingers for Princess Yongning, but now she is a commoner. At least until she succeeds as king, she can't live like before, just like ordinary Dalits.

Princess Yongning has always been familiar with the way of Shen Fu. She wants to go to the front hall first and find a servant girl to let Shen Yurong come to see her. Who knows, walking to the front hall, I saw Shen's mother first.

Shen's mother was sitting on the rattan chair in the front hall, teaching a little servant girl a lesson. The little servant girl shivered and couldn't lift her head after being scolded, as if she had spilled a little outside when serving tea to Shen's mother, so Shen's mother was furious. It's just that anyone with eyes can see that Shen's mother is nothing more than making use of a topic. It's just a small matter. Why did she scold all of it with such ugly words.

More or less, it's also because of depression in my heart.

Princess Yongning went in, and Mei Xiang shouted, "Mrs. Shen."

Shen's mother looked back in surprise. Seeing the two of them, she immediately stood up with a familiar smile on her face and said, "Your Highness Royal Highness Princess."

"Mrs. Shen," seeing that Shen's mother's attitude towards her was still the same as before, Princess Yongning felt a little relieved. She said, "I'm looking for Shen lang."

It was probably that she said "I" rather than "this palace", which stunned Shen's mother for a moment, and reminded her of being demoted to commoners. The smile on Shen's mother's face faded for a few minutes. First, she ordered her servants to call Shen Yurong in the study. After the servants left, Shen's mother asked, "princess, what does the emperor's imperial edict mean? Are you... Really demoted?"

Princess Yongning reluctantly smiled and said, "it's only temporary."

Naturally, what she thought was that after King Cheng raised his case, the imperial edict of emperor Hong Xiao could not be counted. But she couldn't make her words too clear. Shen's mother, a woman, didn't know so much. After hearing Princess Yongning say so, she thought it was Princess Yongning who perfumed her lies. Immediately said, "so, Yurong's position, you can't speak in front of the emperor?"

"Not now." Princess Yongning frowned. Shen's mother suddenly raised her voice, which was very harsh in her ears.

Shen's mother's disappointment immediately showed on her face. Although she learned the news that Princess Yongning was demoted to commoners before, there was always a glimmer of hope in her heart. Princess Yongning is Princess Liu's most beloved daughter, and her eldest brother is still king. As long as Princess Liu said a few good words in front of the emperor, the emperor might be able to take back his order. She didn't know the subtle relationship between King Cheng and the emperor. The woman in the back house, before Shen Yurong didn't win the top prize, Shen's mother was just a big character and didn't know an ordinary woman. How could she know many things.

Shen Yurong, in spite of her obstruction, insisted on resigning from the official position, which had disappointed Shen's mother very much. At this moment, Princess Yongning said so. Shen's mother suddenly felt a sense of boundlessness and gloom in her life. Princess Yongning has now become an ordinary person and can't be relied on. Her son has also lost his official position. In the future, the Shen family will really stop here.

Thinking of these, Shen's mother looked at Princess Yongning, and suddenly a resentment arose in her heart. If Princess Yongning hadn't been pregnant, married the Li family, and torn their faces with the Li family in the golden Luan hall, how could the Shen family have fallen into such a situation. It was Princess Yongning who harmed her son!

"Now you're not a princess..." Shen Mu said with a smile. "People outside say everything. If you don't have anything, you'd better not come to the door easily. You know, outsiders see it and want to gossip. We Yurong have been made to resign by your business. If we continue like this, I'm afraid our mother and son will not be able to stay in Yanjing city."

Mei Xiang and Princess Yongning looked at Shen's mother in surprise. But in a word, Shen's mother can change her face and become without warning!

This villain's face, which was driven by the wind, was Princess Yongning, who had seen all kinds of people, and felt angry and disgusted for a moment. She almost wanted Mei Xiang to throw the mean and sour woman out the door. But at the next moment, Princess Yongning resisted. This was Shen Yurong's mother, and Shen Yurong was the most filial. She can't quarrel with Shen's mother, at least not with her.

"Mrs. Shen," Princess Yongning shouted, "I said, this is only temporary!"

It seemed that she was startled by the voice of Princess Yongning, and Mrs. Shen stopped for a moment. However, her eyes at Princess Yongning were no longer warm. It's like watching a tough mouthed scoundrel who pretends to be merciful and doesn't expose it, but it's full of malicious jokes.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "mother."

It's Shen Yurong.

Seeing Shen Yurong, Princess Yongning was overjoyed. She shouted, "Shen lang." Infinite grievances and heartache.

Shenyurong looked at Shen's mother and said, "mother, I have something to say with the princess. Let's go first."

"Hey," Shen's mother held him, and she wanted to mention a few words to her son. It was this woman who implicated him here, but she was afraid of Princess Yongning's arrogant temper. Finally, she only got: "speak faster, and it's time to eat after finishing."

Shen Yurong nodded, and Princess Yongning felt very happy. She thought that Shen Yurong was speaking for her in front of her mother, and couldn't wait to come forward and hold Shen Yurong's hand. Shen's mother glanced at her, endured it, and then left.

Princess Yongning was very angry again. In the past, as long as Shen's mother saw her coming to Shen's house, she naturally couldn't wait to greet her with 120000 enthusiasm. If Shen Yurong showed a little intimacy with her, Shen's mother would look very happy and eager. It's not like now, just like she is a fly, spoiling Shen Yurong's good meal.

Princess Yongning saw through the faces of the Shen family this time. Fortunately, she held Shen Yurong's hand tightly, and she also had Shen Lang.

Seeing that Shen's mother had left, Shen Yurong took back his hand from Princess Yongning and said to her, "princess."

"Shen Lang, I know you resigned," Princess Yongning said before Shen Yurong opened his mouth. "I didn't expect Li Xian to know about you at the beginning. I didn't know he would involve you. If I had known this, I wouldn't argue with him anyway!"

"I know." Shenyurong said, "I don't blame you."

Princess Yongning almost burst into tears. She gently leaned her head on Shen Yurong's shoulder, Sobbing: "Shen Lang, do you know why I have to bear with that bastard Li Xian, because he killed my child. The child was killed by someone arranged by Li Xian, and he had long wanted to kill our child. He knew that it was your child... I didn't keep our child, it was mine. But I absolutely can't forgive Li Xian. If I get the chance, I must avenge my child!"

Shenyurong smelled the words, his face was not moved, only said: "why do you say that the child was killed by Li Xian?"

Princess Yongning told Shen Yurong what had happened to the Li family in detail, including the voice of the people Mei Xiang heard there. After hearing the whole story, Shen Yurong said, "I'm afraid you made a mistake."

"What?"

"Li Xian won't use such blatant methods to get rid of the child. As you said, it may be Li Xian who did everything in the tocolysis drug. The assassin who suddenly appeared should not be Li Xian."

"No." Princess Yongning frowned and said, "I'm sure this is what Li Xian did. Otherwise, who else would do this except him? But Shen Lang," she slowly stood up straight and looked at Shen Yurong, as if to see his heart clearly. She asked, "this is your child, why can't I feel it, you're a little sad?"

Shenyurong looked at her quietly. After a while, he said, "he is dead."

"But that's your child!" Princess Yongning shrieked.

She suddenly found that from the beginning to now, speaking of this child, Shen Yurong had no sorrow in his expression, whether he analyzed Li Xian or told the result. If he had a little affection for the child, he would not be so indifferent. Such a ruthless person as Princess Yongning once really hurt after he knew that he had miscarriage.

Doesn't he have any feelings? This is his flesh and blood!

"Yongning," Shen Yurong looked at her, his expression still calm and terrible, he said: "things have happened, you should not keep holding on."

"So?" Princess Yongning asked, "do you also think I'm wrong? I should pretend that I don't know anything. I shouldn't revenge Li Xian, expose him in the Jinluan hall, give him a chance to tell about your relationship with me, and shouldn't let you be implicated, make you accused, and make you lose your official position, right? Right!"

Her words were obviously crazy. And in the crazy indomitable, and gave birth to a bone breaking sorrow.

She knew that although Shen Yurong didn't speak, the answer must be "yes". Because for Shen Yurong, everything can be sacrificed. This can be seen from knowing that Princess Yongning was pregnant at the beginning, and Shen Yurong's first thought was not to have this child. Or look forward a little bit, from shenyurong Ming knows what she has done to Xue Fangfei, but pretends to be nothing and looks on coldly, you can see.

She knew she couldn't turn back, but Princess Yongning didn't want to turn back. Now think about it, in fact, many times, she clearly sees that Shen Yurong is not sincere to herself, but she loves Shen Yurong very much and is fascinated with love. As long as she can get him, she has nothing to do. As for whether he is sincere or false, it doesn't matter.

For example, at this moment, Shen Yurong still did not speak, and Princess Yongning was the first to be defeated.

She knew she couldn't fight Shen Yurong, because she loved deeply and was doomed to fight. Moreover, at present, Shen Yurong is also her last straw. She has no other way. Only by catching him can she not drown.

"Sorry," Princess Yongning said difficultly, "it's my fault that has troubled you."

Shenyurong replied, "it doesn't matter."

"Shen Lang," said Princess Yongning, "now I have been demoted by the emperor as a commoner. Although my eldest brother gave me a lot of money, walking outside will inevitably attract people's tongue. I don't want to live in the inn anymore. I want to live with you... After all, others know my relationship with you. Even if I live together, I'm not afraid. I've been separated from the Li family, and people outside say I'm unreasonable."

She rarely talked with people so carefully, and Mei Xiang was shocked when she saw it. Princess Yongning always gives orders to people from above. Has there ever been such a humble time. But Princess Yongning also knew that it was because now she had only one Shen Yurong. If she lost Shen Yurong, she really had nothing. Besides, she has been trying her best to be with Shen Yurong. Even now, this goal has not changed.

Even if it's to let oneself pay in vain.

She looked at Shen Yurong and prayed carefully. The man looked as gentle as before, as if he could be entrusted with a lifetime. He looked at Princess Yongning. Even at this point, he didn't say a harsh word to Princess Yongning, and his attitude was even gentle.

But Princess Yongning clearly saw the indifference in his eyes.

Shenyurong said, "OK."

Princess Yongning looked at him excitedly and suppressed her uneasiness in her heart. She went to pull Shen Yurong's hand, and Shen Yurong didn't pull it out again, so Princess Yongning's suspicion immediately dissipated and became satisfied again.

Once upon a time, she was still high up, luring and teasing without showing any trace, waiting for Shen Yurong to take the bait. But now, she has been completely in the palm of Shen Yurong's hand. Princess Yongning can't live without Shen Yurong, but Shen Yurong can throw her away at any time without lingering.

Mei Xiang stood outside the door and looked at it with worried eyes. It seems that the dilemma has been solved temporarily, and Princess Yongning has been able to live with Shen Yurong in a fair way, but will things really go so smoothly? Not to mention anything else, Shen's mother's arrogance towards Princess Yongning will go wrong sooner or later.

……

Princess Yongning was demoted as a commoner and Shen Yurong resigned, which had a great impact on the whole Shen family. Therefore, Shen's mother was quite dissatisfied with Princess Yongning, and Shen Ruyun's care in Ningyuan Marquis house was confiscated overnight.

Zhou Yanbang has no taboo about his business. He doesn't go home at night and finds fun in the brothel all day. Even when I returned to the mansion, I never went to Shen Ruyun, but to Jiang yu'e.

After the events of Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning came out, the servants of the Marquis of Ningyuan looked at Shen Ruyun differently. Some people even said that what happened at the Palace Banquet at the beginning was that Shen Ruyun was despised by Zhou Yanbang. Who knows if Shen Ruyun himself jumped on it. It's impossible that Zhou Yanbang did nothing. Shen Ruyun wanted to marry Zhou Yanbang and gave Zhou Yanbang dirty water. It's a lie. After all, her eldest brother is not a good thing. He secretly fell in love with the princess and let others conceive children and marry others.

Shen Ruyun could hear these comments anywhere in the mansion. When Shen Yurong resigned as he said, these ridicules intensified, almost daring to appear in front of Shen Ruyun.

Shen Ruyun felt extremely uncomfortable. She didn't expect that Princess Yongning, who once brought them infinite vision and glory of the Shen family, has now become a piece of dog skin plaster that can't be thrown away. In the past, her relationship with Princess Yongning was not "the blessing of the Shen family's ancestral tomb burning high incense", but a stain that disgusted the world. Ningyuan Hou and Mrs. Ningyuan Hou also asked her to go to the house this morning, insinuating that Shen Ruyun should take the initiative to leave, so that their Ningyuan Hou house is quiet, so as not to become a joke in the eyes of others.

Shen Ruyun was almost disgusted. When he came out of Mrs. Hou's room in Ningyuan, he met Jiang yu'e again.

It's strange to say that Shen Ruyun is the right wife. Naturally, he can spend his concubine's money and give Jiang yu'e a pitiful amount of moon silver. It seems that Zhou Yanbang has never given Jiang yu'e any silver, but Jiang yu'e eats and wears no less than Shen Ruyun. It's said that it's all help from his mother's family. Shen Ruyun is very strange. After all, Jiang Yuanxing is just a bastard of the Jiang family, and his salary is not much. How can he have such a big hand.

But anyway, Jiang yu'e's beauty was originally above Shen Ruyun. If she dressed up well, of course, Zhou Yanbang would not come to Shen Ruyun's yard.

"It was my sister." Jiang yu'e saw Shen Ruyun, saluted gracefully, and said with a smile, "I've heard about my sister's family these days. But it's even tighter. When the prince talked about it, I really pinched a sweat for my sister. The more at this time, the more my sister has to hold on. Endure it, and it's over."

She was obviously gloating. Shen Ruyun thought that Zhou Yanbang also knew about it and was ashamed of himself in front of Jiang yu'e, so he wanted to crash into the province. She looked at the gorgeous Jiang yu'e and sneered, "aunt Jiang is so interested that she wanders around the house every day."

"After all, I'm in a good mood." Jiang yu'e said, "just passed by the lady's door, and the lady seemed to want her sister to propose to make peace with the prince? Also, if something like this happened, it was always difficult to stay at home."

"Even if I make peace with the prince, it's not your turn!" Shen Ruyun gnawed his teeth and said, "you are just entering the mansion by means of underhand work, and your father is only a bastard of the yuan family. The Marquis Ningyuan mansion is to find a wife for the prince again, and it will never be such a cheap thing as you. No matter how hard you try, you will only marry and dress for others in the end!"

"So what?" Jiang yu'e's smile disappeared in Shen Ruyun's words, but she still wanted to stab Shen Ruyun, "When I entered the door, I knew I was a concubine. It's nothing to be a concubine all my life, as long as the prince dotes on me. But what about you? You're a fair wife who was carried in by the eight sedans of the Marquis mansion in Ningyuan. You look much better than me, but the end is not much better than me! At least I won't be kicked out, and you don't know where to land for the rest of your life."

"The prince will not divorce me, and I will not leave with the prince." Shen Ruyun hated.

"Really? Originally, the prince married you because your eldest brother was the emperor's favorite minister. Shen Ruyun, what's the merit of yourself? You can't be found in the crowd. Now your eldest brother has resigned and is nothing, and the reputation of the Shen family is smelly. Why do you think Ningyuan marquis will want you to settle down? When Shen Yurong was an official, the prince didn't look down on you. When Shen Yurong had nothing Later, the son of God is even less likely to see you. "

"So you'd better get away as soon as possible!"
