Chapter 117

117 rush to the frontier fortress

Sanger walked in quietly, facing the white eyes of his Marquis, trembling and said to Shen Qingru: "well... Marquis, Miss Shen, it's time to change shifts. Let's go."

Shen Qingru gave a low "um", turned to Huo Qijun and said, "you should remember what I said just now."

Huo Qijun's face showed a faint smile: "keep it in mind."

Shen Qingru followed Sange out of the prison with a little satisfaction. After a incense burning time, the prison guards who were ordered to go back to their senses one after another. They looked at the wine cup in their hand and looked back. Yunyang Hou was still lying in the prison. The jailers thought that the wine was really strong. They continued to clink glasses and drink with each other without any doubt.

Shen Qingru went directly back to Shen's house. The next day, he told Shen Xinzhi that he wanted to go to the border with Huo Qijun.

Shen Xinzhi stroked Mei's beard and said in a deep voice, "do you have a good idea?"

Shen Qingru nodded and told Shen Xinzhi that she had nothing to say.

"The frontier fortress is bitter and cold, and the environment is bad. Those young and strong men may not be able to survive. How can you live in a weak girl's house?" Shen Xinzhi despised everything inside and outside. Shen Qingru has no expression and is too lazy to pay attention to her.

Shen Xinzhi has his own considerations. Now Huo Qijun has been stripped of his title and demoted to the border, and has lost his original high status. Today's Huo Qijun is afraid that he can no longer provide any help for himself in officialdom, and maybe he will hurt himself.

For Shen Xinzhi, marrying a daughter is just a way to attach himself to a reliable backstage. So is Shen Muyun and Shen Qingru, but both daughters let him down.

Shen Muyun is shameless and goes to be Xiao Qiyu's concubine, which makes him lose Shen Xinzhi's face. Xiao Qiyu repeatedly said "father-in-law" and didn't want to call him. Who would be willing to call his concubine's father-in-law?

As for Shen Qingru, he thought he had climbed to the high-ranking Yunyang Hou, but now Yunyang Hou has lost his power. Shen Xinzhi is extremely reluctant to marry Shen Qingru to Huo Qijun. However, the words of marriage have been said. Everyone in the capital knows that he really can't wipe off his face and has a reputation of "treachery".

Therefore, Shen Xinzhi hopes that if Shen Qingru can put forward that she is unwilling to marry Huo Qijun, she will guide her in her words. Ordinary boudoir women, where have you seen the hardship of the frontier fortress? Shen Xinzhi deliberately described the frontier fortress conditions as extremely bad in front of Shen Qingru. He hoped that Shen Qingru would step back and propose to him that he would not marry Huo Qijun.

In this way, he can falsely reprimand Shen Qingru and finally "have no choice" to repent. In this way, Shen Xinzhi's reputation is preserved. Outsiders only scold Shen Qingru when they ask. Anyway, Shen Qingru loves wealth and doesn't want to marry.

Shen Xinzhi's wishful thinking is excellent. His Highness the king of Wu has always been thinking about Shen Qingru. After repenting, he promised her to his Highness the king of Wu. In the future, no matter whether Xiao Qijun or Xiao Qiyu ascends the throne, one of his two daughters will become a concubine in the imperial palace. His identity as the national father-in-law cannot escape.

Shen Qingru looked at Shen Xinzhi with a sneer. She could guess what the person thought. It was probably that she wanted to take the initiative to terminate the engagement. Other women might be fooled by Shen Xinzhi's words, but for her, even if Shen Xinzhi told her that the frontier fortress was a tiger's den, she must break through it.

"I've made up my mind." Shen Qingru bowed her head and said faintly. She didn't look at Shen Xinzhi's fake face, which said "I'm for you". She was afraid that she would burst into laughter.

Shen Xinzhi's face suddenly changed color and wanted to say something more. Shen Qingru had already got up to bless him and directly walked out of the hall.

How dare this rebellious girl go against her father's will!

Shen Xinzhi looked at her determined back and was angry. Anyway, the daughter has not been close to him. Even if she refused to marry according to his will and remarried to the king of Wu, she may not say good things to him in front of the king of Wu. In that case, let her go to the frontier fortress to eat soil and drink wind. It's best to die in the frontier fortress and never come back!

Shen Qingru took a shortcut back to the garden along the steps. Unexpectedly, he met a familiar figure under the roses in the garden.

Shen Mingxian stood there quietly, as if waiting for someone. Seeing Shen Qingru, her beautiful eyes lit up.

"Big sister." Shen Mingxian respectfully saluted her. Shen Qingru also saluted back and said in surprise: "is the fourth sister waiting for me?"

"HMM." Shen Mingxian lowered her head and smiled, revealing two charming and naive pear vortices. Shen Qingru suddenly found that this dignified and used girl would also show such a naive and naive look.

"It's said that my sister will go to the frontier fortress with Duke Yunyang. Mingxian has nothing but this purse pattern sewn by herself. Give it to my sister to read." Shen Mingxian said sincerely.

Shen Qingru took the embroidered vivid purse from her hand and said with a smile, "thank you four sisters."

She knew that Shen Mingxian was thanking her for the last time she withdrew from the Zuo family. After the last time, she heard that Shen Mingxian's mother Gao was still unwilling to withdraw from the Zuo family, and was scolded by the third master Shen pointing to her nose. Gao is used to bullying her husband. He has never seen such a battle. When he is stunned, he listens to third master Shen's hard words: "if you insist on sending my daughter to the fire pit, I'll divorce you first."

The result of Xiong Feng's great exhibition of the third master Shen was that Gao's dismal consent to withdraw from the left family, and he was forced to swear in front of the Shen family that he would never give Shen Mingxian to anyone without the consent of the whole family.

Since Shen Mingxian's marriage, Shen Qingru heard that a Hanlin surnamed sun proposed marriage to Shen and his wife for his eldest son.

Although sun Hanlin's official position is not obvious, he is a scholar family of poetry and rites. The childe is intelligent, likes reading and is a talent. The most satisfying thing for Third Master Shen is that the family has always adhered to the principle of loving couples and never taking concubines from old to young. In other words, when Shen Mingxian married, there would never be a hidden danger of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife.

It's said that sun Hanlin asked his son sun Gongzi for his marriage proposal. If his son cares about Shen Mingxian's identity as a retired daughter, he will become a marriage. I'm afraid it's also a bad marriage. Unexpectedly, his son didn't mind. He said frankly that Zuo Ningyuan was a scum among scholars and almost hurt the good girl of others. For Shen Mingxian, there is no "no" word.

Gao learned a lesson this time and directly asked Shen Mingxian if she would like to. Shen Mingxian listened to the words of the grandson. She didn't want to. She only twisted a veil shyly and didn't speak. Seeing his daughter's shape, Gao didn't understand. He just sighed at her: "this time, you chose it yourself. It's all your own business to live well. No wonder your mother."

Shen Mingxian nodded like a quail. With Childe sun's words, she believed they would live well. Gao fondly touched his daughter's hair. As a mother, she naturally hoped that her daughter would marry a good family and be safe and smooth all her life. Before, I liked the Zuo family because the Zuo family was the tallest. Shen Mingxian married the main wife and won't be angry with others. Gao's plan for his daughter was good, but he didn't think that the childe of the left family should have such a character. It's not worth marrying.

Looking at his daughter's blushing face, Gao sincerely felt that his old man had done a useful thing for the first time.

Shen Qingru stayed at home quietly until the third day. Huo Qijun really came to the door of the prime minister's house according to the appointment.

This time, there was no more prime minister's house pouring out to meet Marquis Yunyang. Only Shen Jing'an was waiting at the door.

Shen Jing'an arched his hand coldly and walked quietly in front to guide him. After a while, he arrived outside Shen Qingru's hospital.

Huo Qijun thanked Shen Jing'an, turned and wanted to go inside, but Shen Jing'an stopped in front of him.

"You'll be nice to her, won't you?" Shen Jing'an turned his face with a cruel expression, as if Huo Qijun's answer would immediately drive Huo Qijun out of the prime minister's house if he was not satisfied.

Huo Qijun took a deep breath and looked straight at Shen Jing'an without any disguise: "I swear by the Huo family's Centennial statement that in this life, there is only Shen Qingru as a wife, who will love and care for her all her life and make her happy all her life. The conditions for going to the frontier fortress this time are difficult, but I will never let her suffer a bit. Please don't worry, brother, give her to me."

Shen Jing'an is still expressionless, but the body in front of Huo Qijun quietly moves away, making way for Huo Qijun.

Huo Qijun hugged him, turned and walked towards Shen Qingru's yard. The wound on his body was still aching. He came here the first day he came out of the prison and couldn't wait to see her.

Shen Qingru sat there, his thin shell teeth gently biting the lip flap, and his bright eyes looked at him without blinking. The moment he came in, he suddenly smiled at him.

That smile made him feel satisfied even if he was dying at the moment.

On the day of worship, few people came. Among the Shen family, except Shen Jing'an, there were Shen Rusong and Shen Mingxian in the third room. Huo Qijun is very lively here. Although the court officials can't avoid him, many soldiers of the Huo family army have come. However, although there were many of them, none of them dared to really pour Huo Qijun. After all, Lord Huo's reputation as a cold-faced Lord was outside, and everyone was afraid of being settled after autumn.

The bride and groom worship heaven and earth, even if they are officially married.

"The edict comes..."

Shen Qingru sat uneasily in his new house, vaguely hearing the voice of a message outside, and an ominous premonition came into his heart. Not long after, the housekeeper of the Huo family came to visit him tremblingly. Shen Qingru exempted his gift and asked him what had happened outside.

The housekeeper could not hide it from her. He could only tell her truthfully: "the emperor sent a decree that the Marquis must set out to the frontier fortress tonight."
