Chapter 126 - This Was a Happy Event!

After Shen Dong left, Chu Junyi returned. Seeing Shen Ninghua sitting on the chair, he unconsciously had a smile in his eyes. “Ninghua, why did your father suddenly come over?” In order to make the emperor believe that he was truly repenting, Shen Dong had always been well disguised. Unless it was necessary, he rarely left his courtyard in the suburbs. It was strange for him to suddenly come here this time.

Shen Ninghua snorted coldly. “What else can bring him here? He was just incited by my good younger sister.”

“Shen Linghan? Didn’t you say that she had been crippled? How could she still have the energy to stir up trouble?”

“She was completely spoiled by Shen Dong and Zhao Yunxiang. She always felt that the entire world should revolve around her. Even if she wanted to frame you, you should willingly surrender yourself to her door to be at her mercy. Otherwise, you would be committing an unforgivable crime. My repeated counterattacks have already become a thorn in her eyes. How is she willing to stop before she sees bad things happening to me?”

Thinking of what he had found out, Chu Junyi’s eyes were exceptionally cold. “Such a person just needs to be taught more lessons. She will be good after being taught two additional lessons.” She was now crippled, and that was a kind of retribution to her. However, if she continued to frame Ninghua, he wouldn’t mind letting her suffer a bit more!

The next day, before Shen Ninghua got up, Bai Ruo ran to the door anxiously. She blocked the person who intended to rush in and berated angrily, “Sixth Prince, even if you are a prince, you should observe the etiquette. This is our Miss’ living room. If you want to break in, step over my body first.”

“How dare you stop me? Shen Ninghua framed Linghan. She crippled her legs and caused her to be misunderstood by Master Shen. Do you want to be her accomplice? Today, I will teach you a lesson!” Immediately after, there was the sound of fighting.

Shen Ninghua was awakened from her sleep, and coldness flashed in her eyes. The Sixth Prince, Bu Jinglan? Why did he barge in so early?

Qing Que was already guarding beside Shen Ninghua’s bed. She did not make a move. Hong Ling was outside the room and could cope with the situation to some extent. After all, Bu Jinglan was a prince. If she hurt him, she would definitely bring trouble to Miss!

Shen Ninghua ordered coldly, “Qing Que, stop him and send him to the flower hall to wait. If his people still want to fight back, throw them out! This is the Prefectural Princess Mansion, not a place where a Great Yue prince can act wildly!”

“Yes, Miss.” With Shen Ninghua’s instructions, Qing Que leapt outside and took out a long whip from her waist. With a slap, she whipped the ground in front of the Sixth Prince, forcing him to take two steps back.

Bu Jinglan’s face darkened. “How dare you, a little servant, attack me, a prince?”

Qing Que did not speak any words to him. She turned around and told Hong Ling, “Miss has an order. Leave the Sixth Prince in the flower hall, and throw the others out!”

Hong Ling’s eyes lit up. Finally, she did not need to endure any longer. She casually took a stick from the side and slammed it towards the guards and servants of Bu Jinglan. Blood splashed everywhere and cries of sorrow echoed out.

Shen Ninghua expressionlessly changed her clothes and asked Bai Ruo to help her do the makeup. After that, she ate a bowl of tremella and lotus seed porridge and a few snacks before walking towards the flower hall.

Bu Jinglan was tied tightly by the rope and thrown on the chair without anyone take caring of him.

“You two bold slaves. You know my identity and yet you are so disrespectful to me. I will definitely report it to His Majesty and have you beheaded!”

Shen Ninghua walked in and heard this. Her voice was cold to the freezing point. “I wonder who you wanted to behead? Do you know what kind of crime it is to act wildly in the Prefectural Princess Mansion early in the morning?”

Bu Jinglan glared at Shen Ninghua. Seeing her coming into the room, he suddenly flicked his body and wanted to get up. However, because his legs were tied up, he failed. Instead, he fell heavily to the ground. “Shen Ninghua, let go of me!”

Seeing Bu Jinglan’s anxious face, Shen Ninghua felt a surge of discord in her heart. Yesterday, ten maids he had painstakingly trained were beheaded. His expression did not change and he smiled all the time. But today, he broke into her home early in the morning. Were these two things really done by the same person?

“There’s no need to show your respect to me by giving me such a big bow. I really can’t stand it. Qing Que, help him up!”

Qing Que grabbed the rope behind Bu Jinglan and directly lifted him up onto the chair.

Shen Ninghua sat down on a chair beside him and looked at him carefully. Finally, her gaze landed on his neck. There was a red birthmark in the shape of a leaf. She clearly remembered that his neck was spotless yesterday. What exactly was going on?

“Your Highness, why did you come here today?”

Bu Jinglan didn’t care about the rope on his body at this moment. He only wanted to seek justice for his lover. “How dare you ask me? Let me ask you, why did you frame Linghan again? Do you know that the person she admires the most is Master Shen? Yet you deliberately framed her, causing Master Shen to misunderstand her and even kick her medicine bowl over!”

Shen Dong was angry with Shen Linghan?

“Your Highness, I remember warning you last time that my younger sister is still unmarried. Don’t call her Linghan. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want a good reputation. My sister still needs to live!”

“How could I damage her reputation?”

“You don’t have anything to do with my younger sister. Don’t you think calling her by her given name is bad for her reputation? What, are you going to tell me that you’re going to marry her as your wife?”

Bu Jinglan’s face turned red when he was questioned. When he heard this, anger surged in his heart. “Why not? Linghan is gentle and kind. She is the most beautiful white lotus flower. It is my luck to be able to marry her.”

Shen Ninghua almost couldn’t help but laugh. Shen Linghan was the white lotus flower? She was the most poisonous poppy! She had planned to let Shen Linghan die on her own, but if Bu Jinglan was willing to marry her, that would be another story.

“Are you telling the truth? Are you going to marry Shen Linghan?”

Immediately after uttering those words, Bu Jinglan realized he was impulsive and felt somewhat inappropriate. Although his father and mother would not care whom he married, his princess must not be a disabled woman. When he looked up and saw Shen Ninghua’s obviously mocking smile, he did not want to admit defeat easily. “That’s right! I want to marry Linghan. Not only that, but I also want to give her a grand wedding and make her the happiest woman in the world!”

“Good!” Shen Ninghua suddenly laughed. “Bai Ruo, write down what he has said and let him sign it. Qing Que, untie His Highness.”

Qing Que stepped forward and untied Bu Jinglan. Then, she stood beside Shen Ninghua to protect her.

“Bai Ruo, have you finished writing?”

Bai Ruo handed the paper over. “Miss, all have been written on it.”

Shen Ninghua glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction. The words on it were exactly the same as what Bu Jinglan had said. “Your Highness, please sign here.”

Bu Jinglan’s heart trembled. “Sign what? Why should I sign it?”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Didn’t you barge into my mansion early in the morning to tell me that you wanted to marry my younger sister Shen Linghan? And you just admitted it. Since then, you should leave behind some evidence. Speaking of which, Da’an and Great Yue have similar wedding customs. This piece of paper can be considered your letter of appointment. I will tell my father to prepare a dowry for my sister as soon as possible. When you leave Da’an and return home, Linghan will go back with you!”

“I…” How could he sign something like this?

“What? Are your words just a lie? So, are you dissatisfied with the Da’an royal family? Not only did you break into the Prefectural Princess Mansion early in the morning, you even tried to enter my bedroom. I wasn’t properly dressed at that time. What did you want to do? Destroying my reputation, humiliating the royal family of Da’an, or starting a war between the two countries?”

“I didn’t.” Bu Jinglan’s face was pale, and he was clearly frightened.

Seeing his performance, the doubts in Shen Ninghua’s heart became more and more obvious. How could such an easily deceived and threatened person be yesterday’s unfathomable Sixth Prince Bu Jinglan? As she wondered in her heart, she continued speaking to Bu Jinglan.

“Since you don’t have that intention, then sign the marriage contract. Then I’ll go report it to my father. I think he will be very happy to know this. Sister Linghan’s situation will also be improved a lot.”

The last sentence succeeded in making Bu Jinglan hesitate for a moment. Shen Linghan’s delicate face covered in tears appeared in his mind. “…Alright.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes flashed with a smile. “Bai Ruo, let His Highness sign it!”

Bu Jinglan slowly tightened his grip on the brush and signed his name on the bottom. Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at Qing Que, who immediately understood her meaning. She stepped forward and grabbed Bu Jinglan’s hand. A cold light flashed on the dagger, and Bu Jinglan’s handprint was printed on the paper.

Bu Jinglan felt a pain in his finger. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Shen Ninghua interrupted him. “Alright, we will be a family in the future, so there won’t be so many taboos. Don’t worry. I will immediately send someone to bring my younger sister Linghan to my mansion to ensure her safety before the wedding!”

“What tricks are you trying to play now?”

“Then you are wrong. I never liked playing tricks!” She just liked to see her enemies having bad luck!

“Hong Ling, send the Sixth Prince out. Bai Ruo, clean up the courtyard and let my younger sister live in her Qinxue Courtyard. Qing Que, go to the suburbs and tell my father about the good news. Also, bring them to the mansion to live with me.”

Although she didn’t know why this Bu Jinglan had a dual personality, there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now. If the shrewd Bu Jinglan was revived, the first thing he would do must be letting Shen Linghan die in an “accident”, so she had to take her home in advance to protect her. Thinking of Bu Jinglan marrying a disabled girl as his princess, she couldn’t help but laugh in her heart. She must make this happen!

Bu Jinglan was forced out by Hong Ling. His expression was very sullen.

On the other side, when Shen Dong heard the news, he was almost stunned. His daughter, whom he had completely given up, was going to become a princess? Although Bu Jinglan was from another country, he was a real prince. Once Shen Linghan married him, Shen Dong as the father-in-law would naturally not be a commoner!

His entire body trembled with excitement. He repeatedly instructed the servants to help Shen Linghan pack up her things and happily followed Qing Que to the Prefectural Princess Mansion.
