Chapter 31 Princess
"Master, don't be angry. Let's go back and talk about everything. Isn't the noise at the gate letting others see our Shen family's jokes?"
As soon as Shen Xinyue raised her eyes, she saw a huge group of people walking towards the door. The leaders of them were probably Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu.
Before she could say anything, her body naturally shrank. Shen Xinyue knew that this was the original person's remaining fear of them. It seemed that the original person's life in the Shen family was really intriguing.
Shen Wangchi noticed Shen Xinyue's subtle movements, so he quietly stepped forward to protect Shen Xinyue behind him, and then explained:
"Father, today is the day when my sister comes home. My mother and I came to the door specially to pick her up."
"You came to pick her up? How unbecoming! Let others see that there is no one in the Shen family, and I need you to come to the door to greet me in person?" Shen Chusheng's eyes passed over Shen Wangchi and Song Ruyu, and finally settled on Shen Xinyue's. There was undisguised disgust on his body and in his eyes.
"Isn't it?" Shen Xinyue's lips curved into a sarcastic smile.
"What did you say?" Shen Chusheng did not expect that Shen Xinyue would dare to contradict him.
"Isn't that right? If there is anyone in your Shen family, how could you not arrange for even one person to come back today even though I sent you a letter in advance?"
Song Ruyu secretly pulled Shen Xinyue's sleeves behind her, trying to get her to stop talking, but Shen Xinyue just quietly patted the back of her hand to signal her not to worry.
"You rebellious girl! What do you think you are? You just go home. Do you want our whole family to come out and kneel down and kowtow to greet you?" Shen Chusheng was obviously angry at Shen Xinyue's sudden resistance. Not light.
"Sister, that's not what I meant..." Shen Wangchi quickly opened his mouth to explain to Shen Xinyue, but Aunt Liu was faster than him.
I saw Aunt Liu hurriedly reaching out and patting Shen Chusheng on the back, and then said with an aggrieved look: "Master, please stop getting angry with the eldest lady. In the end, this matter is all my fault. It's me." I thought that the eldest lady is a quiet person, so I thought of not arranging any ostentation, but I didn't expect that both the master and the eldest miss would be dissatisfied. Master, please punish me."
As Aunt Liu spoke, she even shed a few tears, causing uninformed people to think that Shen Xinyue was being aggressive.
"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why should I punish you? In the final analysis, this rebellious girl doesn't know how to commend herself, and she still points out the arrangements of her elders."
As soon as Shen Chusheng said these words, Shen Xinyue was directly labeled as unfilial.
Shen Wangchi quickly explained: "That's not the case. My sister just got home and was excited. Father, please don't be angry."
As he spoke, Shen Wangchi kept winking at Shen Xinyue, signaling her to quickly apologize to Shen Chusheng. However, Shen Xinyue seemed not to have seen his reminder, and just smiled coldly at Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu in front of her. Two people acting.
"Okay! Come in quickly and don't embarrass me outside." After Shen Chusheng said that, he turned around and prepared to leave first.
However, Shen Xinyue suddenly spoke again: "Father, aren't you going to open the door when your daughter comes home?"
"Miss, you are a member of the Shen family yourself and you should know the rules of our family. The door will only be opened when there are distinguished guests or on days when ancestors are worshipped..." Aunt Liu said to Shen Xinyue with a loving look on her face. Explaining, the servants standing by saw that she didn't understand the rules, and they all laughed in their hearts, saying that a straw bag is a straw bag, and it's still the same thing after getting married. It's not smart, no wonder she comes alone when she comes home.
"Auntie, after all, I am the eldest daughter in the family. Is it not a big deal for me to come back?"
Shen Xinyue's words about her direct descendants stung Aunt Liu's heart. Her expression immediately became distorted, but she returned to normal in an instant. She walked to Shen Xinyue's side and hugged Shen Xinyue very lovingly. Xinyue's arm, and then whispered to comfort: "Miss, please stop making trouble. You also know the rules of our house. It's better to go in with me first, otherwise the master will get angry later and you won't be able to reap the benefits."
"If the door doesn't open today, then I won't go in at the door. If you don't open it all day, then I will go home immediately." Shen Xinyue stood there with a smile on her lips, no matter how hard Aunt Liu secretly tried, she They all remained motionless: "Anyway, the door this time is just a formality. Now that I've arrived, my courtesy is over. It's not me who's being rude by not letting me in."
Aunt Liu didn't expect that Shen Xinyue would be so stubborn. She was very different from before she got married. She actually knew how to threaten Shen Chusheng with her reputation. She raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Xinyue's profile in surprise, but I found that it was no different from before, and he was still full of recklessness.
Maybe you are overthinking it? How can a idiot suddenly become smart?
"If you like to stand, then you can just stand for the whole day. I, the Shen Mansion, will not accompany you." Shen Chusheng turned around and glared at Shen Xinyue, saying this, and ordered the boys on the side to close the door.
"In this case, I think there is no need to return to the Shen Mansion. Let's go."
Huo Weilou's sudden voice stopped Shen Chusheng from leaving.
He turned his head in surprise and saw a man getting out of the inconspicuous carriage that Shen Xinyue was riding.
Although Shen Chusheng didn't recognize this man, when he saw the python pattern embroidered with gold thread on his boots and thought about the name he just mentioned, he immediately guessed that this man was the regent - Huo Weilou.
However, what shocked him more than the regent arriving at his door was that after Huo Wei got off the carriage, he walked straight to his idiot daughter, then took her hand and walked towards the carriage. past.
"My lord, stay!" Although Shen Chusheng didn't know what was going on in front of him, he knew that if he didn't explain it clearly quickly, the Shen family would be in ruins.
He rushed forward and saluted Huo Weilou: "The common people don't know that the prince is coming here, so he will go too far to meet his sins and deserve death."
"You deserve to die, you dare to shut out the princess." Huo Weilou took over Shen Chusheng's words coldly.
A cold sweat broke out on his head, and he quickly explained: "My lord, you have misunderstood! The common people just returned to the house to let the people below open the front door for the princess to prepare for the ceremony, not to shut the princess out."
"You mean you blame me for sending the letter late, so you didn't have time to prepare?" Obviously Huo Weilou wanted to vent his anger on Shen Xinyue's behalf, and did not intend to let Shen Chusheng go just like this.
"No, no, the common people...it's all the common people who did things poorly and failed to take care of everything early!" Shen Chusheng really regretted the decision he had made before. If he had known it, he would have prepared something for Shen Xinyue, but who could Can you imagine that this variable will occur?
The people of the Shen family behind him were even more confused. They didn't understand what was happening. They just saw that their masters were kneeling on the ground, so they quickly knelt on the ground sparsely, for fear that the people in front of them would attack the Shen family.
Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Xinyue didn't want to go too far. After all, Song Ruyu and Shen Wangchi had to live in the house. If she went too far, I'm afraid their lives would not be easy in the future.
"Forget it," Shen Xinyue took Huo Weilou's hand: "It's cold standing outside, let's go in first."
"Yes, yes, please, please." Shen Chusheng quickly stood up and greeted the two of them respectfully. The young men of the Shen family behind him also opened the door very wisely.
Huo Weilou then took Shen Xinyue into Shen's mansion.
"This... Xinyue, why did you become the princess?"
While the group was still walking on the corridor, Shen Chusheng couldn't help but stepped forward and asked quietly in Shen Xinyue's ear.
Who would have thought that his words would be heard by Huo Weilou, who stopped his progress and replied: "It is hard to disobey the emperor's order, is there any problem?"
"No, I'm just asking casually." Shen Chusheng shook his head quickly, not daring to say anything more.
Soon the group arrived at the lobby.
Shen Xinyue followed Huo Weilou and sat at the front seat, accompanied by Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu. As for Song Ruyu and Shen Wangchi, Shen Chusheng sent them away early.
Huo Weilou looked around and found that Song Ruyu was not there, so he asked preemptively: "Why don't you see your mother-in-law coming out?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. Today, when the eldest lady returns home, I have arranged everything." Aunt Liu stood up and saluted and replied.
"You?" Huo Weilou glanced at Aunt Liu carefully, and then continued: "What is it?"
Huo Weilou's words made Aunt Liu's prepared words get stuck in her throat, making her feel extremely embarrassed.
"I have always heard that my mother-in-law is the head wife of the Shen family. I thought that the whole Shen family is managed by my mother-in-law. It seems that this is not the case?"
Aunt Liu still wanted to say something, but Shen Chusheng quickly stood up and stopped her next words with a look: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Everything in our house is taken care of by my wife. It just happens that my wife has been feeling unwell recently. That’s why I asked someone to do it for me.”
"You feel so unwell that your daughter can't come out to host even after she comes home?" Huo Weilou said with a playful look on his face.
Shen Chusheng knew that Huo Weilou was determined to embarrass himself, and it was useless to say more. Now he had to admit his mistake obediently.
But Aunt Liu had no such awareness at all: "Your Majesty, I don't know that my sister has always been in poor health, so I had no choice but to come to help my sister welcome the eldest lady."
"Help? What kind of status do you have that you can do my wife's work on such an important matter?" Huo Weilou glanced at Aunt Liu with disdain: "You are just a concubine, nothing more than a toy."
When Shen Chusheng heard Huo Weilou's words, he was so frightened that a few beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on his forehead. You must know that Huo Weilou directly gave him the reputation of being a doting concubine and killing his wife. If this spread, It was a serious crime, and although he dared to do some things, he would never dare to say them.
So in order to show that he did not pamper his concubine and kill his wife, Shen Chusheng turned around and angrily yelled at Aunt Liu: "You are so outrageous, you are just a toy. You came to the hall and acted wildly against the prince. Why don't you get out of here right away?" !”
When Aunt Liu saw this, she could only retreat in frustration.
"Please forgive me for not being strict in running the house. My wife is not in good health. I couldn't find anyone to help with the affairs of the house, so I used this concubine for a while. Who knew she would actually respond to my daughter?" The whole family is so perfunctory, Your Majesty, rest assured that I will punish her severely in the future."
