Be Careful, Black-bellied Prince - C55

Of course, these two days, Sheng Jia’s sisters were not around, so who would be so lucky to ask for marriage when they were rushing to the Royal Hunt?

Just then, the horse carriages returned one after another, and when they saw Sheng Yan standing at the door, they felt relieved, since they were family, even if there was something they couldn’t pass through, they had to support themselves.

“Fifth Sister, you’re back. What did the doctor say?”

“It’s nothing, it’s just a superficial wound. I didn’t injure any tendons.”

Although Sheng Si En was at this time, Sheng Yan could not think that she was expressing his goodwill. After all, as long as she was sober enough, he would be able to think that he had been tricked.

However, there were also conjectures as to who these betrothal gifts were for.

Could it be that something good was going to happen after he had been away for two days?

As they entered the mansion, they were led to the front hall by a maid. Everyone was startled to see the person in front of them. After all, it was rather unexpected for him to be back.

“It’s actually Prime Minister?”

Hearing that Sheng Yi Qiu had blurted out her official title, Sheng Yan did not dare underestimate him, and seeing Sheng Ming He’s smiling face and the forced happiness on her face, she knew that this time, it was concubinage who had married him, just that she did not know who.

But now, the only choice left was Sheng Qing Mei.

He had to say that he did not want his own daughter to suffer in this Sheng Jia but if he were to go outside, it would actually be a different story altogether. Someone like Sheng An Ning would only suffer by himself, and with this example, he guessed that these people would not dare to rashly cooperate with Fu Yun Xian and Fu Yun Xian.

After all, the two of them had risks, so they had to be cautious when cooperating.

However, they did not expect that the Sheng Jia would have such good news recently. It turned out to be the Prime Minister and they were working together.

Sheng Yan grinned widely, thinking that the Prime Minister was not the Empress’s person, if not, he would have a gloomy face long ago, and say that he would think about it. After all, Sheng Qing Mei was only the concubinage, and marrying into the Prime Minister Palace would be her fortune.

“Father, we are back.”

Of course, Sheng Yan would always be at the back of the line, and now that her arm was injured, it would be even more impossible for him to walk forward.

Prime Minister was a dignified person, but he was still beaming with joy when he saw these young ladies walk in one by one.

The Prime Minister was called Gu Qing Rui and had two sons. It was said that the eldest son was handsome and extraordinary, that he had exceptional talent, that he did not enter politics, and that he had already started a business deal in the capital, and that he had connections with the south.

However, his second son was a little lacking. All day long, he would eat and play, not caring about anything else.

However, it was said that the two young masters were both outstandingly good-looking.

“These are the few daughters of this old man. I wonder which one Lord Gu has chosen, and which one of them came forward so abruptly today for the betrothal gift?”

“Old General Sheng, don’t panic. Today, I have really taken a fancy to one of your family’s daughters.”

“Oh? “Who is it?”

Fu Yun Xian was also sweating profusely. If they talked about falling in love with Sheng Yi Qiu, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? Even if they talked about falling in love with Sheng Si En, it would still be a big shock.

“I heard that the Sheng Qing Mei ranked fourth in your family is not married yet. I wonder if she can get married to my Palace?”

Sheng Ming He had already guessed it long ago. After all, Sheng Si En, Sheng Yi Qiu and Sheng Yan were all chosen by the princes, no matter how much authority the Prime Minister had, he would not dare to be so presumptuous and steal others away from the princes.

Sheng Qing Mei smiled from the bottom of her heart, as if she had already expected this would happen, and said indifferently: “I will make the decision based on father.”

Actually, Sheng Qing Mei was only taking this initiative because no matter how presumptuous the people of the Prime Minister Palace were, they were still rich. They knew that they had to look at their master to beat up a dog, even if Sheng Qing Mei was a concubinage, he was still the Grand General’s daughter, who would dare to offend him?

“Although my second son doesn’t have any specific matter to attend to, your daughter is still worth a thousand taels of gold to marry into our family. This old man will not treat her lightly. I will also ensure that your daughter is well-dressed and lives happily.”

Sheng Ming He patted Gu Qing Rui’s shoulders, “You must be joking. When I get to your place, I hope that you won’t spoil me.”

Fu Yun Xian stood at the side without saying a word. After all, she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, if she knew that Sheng Yi Qiu was such an unfavoured person, it would have been better for her not to enter the Imperial Palace and instead marry this young master of the Prime Minister.

But from the looks of it now, it was too late to say anything.

But Gu Qing Rui’s gaze landed on Sheng Yan’s body.

Sheng Yan, who had been the focus of everyone’s attention, was a little unnatural. After all, she would rather turn transparent at this kind of occasion, and quickly return to the courtyard to sleep after the meeting ended. But now that her plan had failed, she had to face the interrogation of the elders.

In truth, she had long suspected that Sheng Yi Qiu was the one who shot the arrow, but she had no evidence, so she could only ridicule him with her words, even if it was useless, it didn’t matter.

“How did he do it? He even wrapped it with bandages.”

Seeing that Sheng Ming He was so concerned about his daughter, Gu Qing Rui was a little surprised, he couldn’t help but look at Sheng Yan a few more times, but the more he looked, the more shocked he was. He couldn’t help but make wild guesses.

“Father, it’s fine, it’s when we were hunting in the hunting grounds. I was just picking out prey for the Third Prince, I don’t know which one of them was blind, but when I wore blue clothes, they still treated me as their prey. If it wasn’t for the fact that my daughter dodged so quickly, I’m afraid my father wouldn’t have been able to see my daughter today.”

“Nonsense, my daughter is indeed lucky, haha.”

Sheng Ming He was a little excited, as if he was abnormally excited when he heard the news of Sheng Yan and the Xuanyuan Li being together. This made Gu Qing Rui’s suspicions deepen.

After they finished their greetings, they called over Aunt Yun, and just like that, they began to discuss the marriage. The rest of the Miss s who had nothing better to do all returned to their own courtyards.

Sheng Yan, supported by Lan Qin, walked towards the courtyard and saw Fu Yun Xian and Sheng Yi Qiu hurriedly heading towards Aunt Liu’s courtyard. Presumably, they had gone to settle the score with her.

Of course, he could not stay idle at this time, as he wanted to watch a good show. Just as he was about to pace, he was stopped by Qing Qian.

“What are you doing?”

“Watching a good show?”

“You’ve gone silly. If you go at a time like this and say that you were the one who made the plan, what do you think Aunt Liu would do?”

Sheng Yan thought for a while, “She got lucky and wanted to ally with the Madame, I think she is tired of living.”

“Fifth sister, just wait for the good news. Besides, with Prime Minister here, there won’t be much of a commotion. However, it’s hard to say for sure tonight.”

Sheng Yan knew that Qing Qian was reminding him, so she changed her smiling face and quickly thought of an idea.
