Spoiled Wife - C74
However, before Shen Jiazhen and Xia Ying got married, Shen Qi started to get busy, because two guests came from the King’s Mansion, Senior Brother Situ Ye and Junior Sister Fu Xuerou.
On the other hand, Situ Ye was a gentle and refined beautiful man. He wore a set of white clothes that were as white as snow, and his black hair was held up high with a jade crown, as if he was an immortal. His temper was so good that he seemed as if he didn’t have a temper.
However, such a good-natured senior brother was actually the nemesis of Fu Xuerou. She was not afraid of anything, just afraid of Situ Ye.
Shen Qi had self-proclaimed that she had seen all kinds of beautiful men, but when she saw Situ Ye, he couldn’t help but be shocked. Such goddess-like people were really rare, she never thought that there would actually be such an outstanding man in the world!
Moreover, it was not inferior to Situ Ye at all. However, King Duanren’s appearance was too cold, and with his noble identity, it was easy for people to not notice his appearance. However, Situ Ye was different, he had a light smile on his face, as if he was bathed in spring wind.
Seeing Shen Qi’s expression, King Duanren could not help but feel a little jealous. She actually looked at the seemingly useless Situ fox in a daze? What was so good about that person? All day long, he had put on a fake smile.
“This is Junior Apprentice Sister Fu Xuerou, and this is Senior Apprentice Brother.” When he introduced Situ Ye, he didn’t even say his name, but Situ Ye only smiled with a good temper.
Then, King Duan introduced Shen Qi to the both of them. “King’s Mansion’s mistress, my wife, Lady Shen.” From the introduction, it could be seen how strong Duke Xian’s possessiveness was. With every sentence, he pointed out Shen Qi’s status.
When Shen Qi was observing them, the two of them were also observing him. When Fu Xuerou saw his appearance, she was stunned for a moment, she never thought that the Queen’s Consort’s appearance would be so outstanding.
When she saw that her Senior Brother did not seem out of place when standing together with her and was surprisingly compatible with her, she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. How could she be willing to give up after expending so much effort to an outsider?
Situ Ye knew that he was a close friend, and that there were very few people who did not waver upon seeing him for the first time. This Queen’s Consort was no exception, but what made his feel comfortable was that she only had admiration and praise, and no one else’s dirty thoughts.
Just from this point, Situ Ye decided that he would not hate this Queen’s Consort in the future. However, when he turned around and saw the jealous look in his junior sister’s eyes, he sighed in his heart. His junior sister liking Mo Ze was an open secret, and after hearing that Prince Xian had married his imperial concubine, he knew that she had gotten sick.
Initially, he thought that she would give up. He didn’t expect her obsession to be so deep that she could travel thousands of miles from Mo Bei to the capital just to see how King Duanren was doing. Master had no other choice, so he asked him to accompany her.
On the surface he was protecting her, but in reality he was protecting her from any mistakes. Who told his junior sister to be afraid of him even if she wasn’t afraid of the heavens or the earth?
He thought that all of the girls in the capital were pretending, but when he saw the Queen’s Consort, he never expected that it would break his usual impression. The lady was dressed casually, with a slight smile on her face, she was much taller than the girl beside her.
Even if he could see through her thoughts, he didn’t show it. He heard that Queen’s Consort wasn’t even of the prime of her age, yet she already had such an aura at such an age. He couldn’t help but be praised for being well-mannered!
Her interaction with Jing Ze was rather interesting. Just because she looked at him twice, her Junior Brother showed his displeasure. However, this little girl didn’t care about his attitude towards her as much as her Junior Brother did.
There were two possibilities for such a situation. The first one was that she had to endure it and not let it happen. The second one was that she hadn’t been tempted by her junior brother!
In the past, there had never been a woman who could resist the charm of a Junior Brother. Even if it was because of the rumors in the outside world and the status of King Duanren, the number of women who wanted to climb into his bed was still countless.
Now, he actually met someone who was indifferent to him. How could it not be anticipated? Thinking about it, Situ Ye suddenly had a lot of anticipation for his days in the capital, and would definitely not be bored in the future!
The arrival of Fu Xuerou and Situ Ye could be considered to have disturbed Shen Qi’s peaceful life, especially Fu Xuerou, who displayed strong hostility toward Shen Qi upon their first meeting. She naturally knew the reason why, and it wasn’t like she hadn’t experienced such a thing before.
Furthermore, she did not hide her intentions at all, and was not afraid of Shen Qi knowing that Shen Qi did not believe that she did it on purpose.
There’s an ex-fiancée Wang Ruoyan, there’s a Lan Xin in the King’s Mansion, there’s a cousin in the Duke of Yan’s residence, there’s a little junior sister here, Duke Xian’s peach blossoms sure are flourishing!
Initially, he had even told Shen Qi to accompany Fu Xuerou, but since he didn’t want to, he had to wait until the Duke had some free time. Shen Qi had no other choice, and furthermore, she didn’t think that she and Fu Xuerou could get along peacefully.
On the other hand, Situ Ye was always drawing and playing in the manor. He was very relaxed, wearing white clothes and holding a fan.
Every day, he would laugh like the spring breeze, causing the few maids in King’s Mansion to blush and feel heartbeats every day. Shen Qi scolded himself in his heart, Calamity!
Situ Ye was actually quite interested in Shen Qi, even if they bumped into each other, they could chat for a bit. During the casual chats, Shen Qi discovered that Situ Ye was a person with a lot of knowledge, involving in every aspect, and furthermore, he was only average in his knowledge.
However, Situ Ye was different. He was only twenty-five years old this year at most, and in his previous life, he was only a graduate who had just graduated.
But thinking about how the ancient people were precocious, Shen Qi felt at ease. His master also went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, but in his previous life, he was still a high school student.
When Shen Qi met Situ Ye on the road once again, he smiled at her and asked, “Can I disturb the wangfei for a while?”
How could Shen Qi reject someone who welcomed people with a smile, was a guest of the mansion, and was also the prince’s senior brother? Thus, he smiled and said, “Young Master Situ is too courteous. If you have any instructions, feel free to speak.”
“This is not the place to talk. Let’s go to the pavilion in front.” At this time, he kept his fan, the smile on his face had disappeared, he cupped his fists towards Shen Qi and elegantly made a gesture to invite him in.
Seeing him being so serious, Shen Qi knew that he must have something to say this time, so he did not waste any more words and directly followed him to the pavilion. Of course, the servants Zi Zhu and Ling Xing, who were by his side, followed him as well.
Situ Ye did not have any intention of letting them avoid him, so he directly asked: “Does Concubine Wang know the reason why I came to the capital with junior sister?”
Shen Qi raised her eyebrows when she heard the question, what does that mean? However, he still nodded her head and replied with a smile, “Young Master Situ and the young miss are fellow disciples of the same sect as the prince. It’s normal for you to get along with each other.”
When Situ Ye heard this, he shook his head with a smile. This wangfei was indeed clever, her words were flawless, this kind of reply from the officials was not at all inappropriate, but he did not plan to keep her at a mystery, thus he said directly: “Wangfei is a smart person, I will not beat around the bush with her.
Shen Qi, “…” What was Situ Ye up to? However, she didn’t say anything. She just smiled at him, waiting for him to continue. She knew that he definitely didn’t just want to tell her about this. There would definitely be more that he wanted to talk about today.
As expected, looking at how the wangfei remained calm and collected, Situ Ye didn’t continue to play around and directly told his his purpose. “Miss Wang Ruoyan’s matter is my little junior’s doing.”
When Shen Qi heard this, her expression finally changed a little. She had suspected that Wang Ruoyan’s appearance was definitely not a coincidence, and the person behind him must have had some sort of goal, but after probing for a long time, there was no progress at all. Now, someone suddenly stood out and told her the answer, it was because the answer was too surprising, and Shen Qi did not know what kind of expression to put on.
“The illness of Miss Wang as well?” Shen Qi wanted to know when Fu Xuerou started planning.
Therefore, Situ Ye shook his head and replied, “No, she was not the one who did this.”
