Spoiled Wife - C75
What Shen Qi did not understand was what exactly was the reason she wanted Wang Ruoyan to appear in such a manner? Because the bottom of her heart was too puzzled, she could not help but ask.
Shen Qi was suspicious, should she know? Ye Zichen looked at him in confusion, then shook his head honestly. Just as Situ Ye thought that she had understood, he heard her say, “Could it be that she wants to take revenge for the Duke?” Afterwards, he felt that something wasn’t right. If he were to speak out on behalf of the prince, he could come in broad daylight. What was the point of hiding his head and showing his tail like this?
Previously, Shen Qi had suspected that someone else was scheming something against the King’s Mansion, something against King Duanren. However, after knowing that it was Fu Xuerou, Shen Qi rejected this guess, because she knew that Fu Xuerou liked King Duanren so much that she wouldn’t deliberately target him.
Situ Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he sighed and shook his head, don’t you want to think about the deep meaning behind the actions of a woman who was trapped in love? Wasn’t it because he wanted to stir up some sort of relationship between the two of them? What was the point of thinking about such complicated matters?
Raising her head and seeing Situ Ye’s expression, coupled with the rumors circulating around the capital, Shen Qi finally understood. She was not here to target King Duanren, but she could still be considered the Queen’s Consort she was, since she was still his rival in love with him.
Thinking about that, Shen Qi shook her head and laughed, seeing that she had understood everything, she smiled and stopped talking, but at the same time, she asked: “What exactly does young master want to express by telling me these things?” It’s time to tell your purpose.
At this time, Situ Ye said in a serious tone, “If my guess is not wrong, then since Your Highness has been investigating this matter these past two days, then as expected, Your Highness will be able to confirm who exactly did it today.” Saying that, he glanced at Shen Qi.
Shen Qi did not understand, “What will happen if Your Highness finds out?”
“The prince hates deceit and scheming in front of him.” Situ Ye only said this.
But Shen Qi also understood what he meant. The prince would be disappointed in Fu Xuerou, and would even blame her, but what did this have to do with him? He didn’t think she was going to help a woman who had intentions for her man, did she?
“So?” Shen Qi raised her eyebrows and asked. At this time, her expression was a smile that was not a smile.
Situ Ye smiled as he shook his head, “This one does not have any intention of making it difficult for Princess Hua-Yang. I just hope that Princess Hua-Yang can persuade her a little when she’s angry, this one will be forever grateful.” With that, he cupped his fists and bowed towards Shen Qi.
Shen Qi looked at him suspiciously, “Is that it?”
Shen Qi narrowed her eyes and looked at him, “What right do you have to think that the prince will listen to my advice? What’s more, what reason does this consort have to help her? ” She knew who he was even though she didn’t say it out loud.
Looking at such an overbearing Queen’s Consort, Situ Ye was excited. This kind of woman was indeed out of the ordinary, no wonder she could make that junior brother who wasn’t even a woman moved. This aura was definitely belonging to the imperial family, it was too overbearing!
She had always bragged that she was a talented girl, but in the capital, she was also the most talented. From their few conversations, Situ Ye had also been amazed by the Wang Concubine’s knowledge, he never expected that a girl like her would actually know so much, if she hadn’t grown up in the capital, he would have thought that she was some kind of daughter.
That was why the difference in status could be compared. Although Mo Bei was the most outstanding existence in the entire capital, it was not so, even though she had the heroic presence of a girl, the Queen’s Consort in front of her had an even more imposing and threatening aura than her.
Just as Situ Ye wanted to say something, Zi Zhu suddenly reported to Shen Qi, “Princess, the prince is back. He’s rushing over right now, he’ll be here soon.” Just as she finished her sentence, Shen Qi saw the figure of King Duanren. As she quickly walked away, the servants behind him could not even catch up to him with a jog.
Duke Xian’s face didn’t look good, especially when he saw Shen Qi and Situ Ye talking together.
However, when Situ Ye saw Duke Yuan, he changed from his serious expression from before and revealed his usual smile. He reached out to open his folding fan and raised his eyebrows, looking at him as if he was watching a show.
“Wang Ruoyan was arranged by you.” It was not a question, but a statement of certainty.
Shen Qi looked at Situ Ye. Didn’t he say that it was Fu Xuerou’s handiwork? Then it must have been arranged by Situ Ye. If that was the case, Situ Ye and Fu Xuerou would be the same as a small marten, but she thought that it might be impossible for him to do the same thing as her.
Situ Ye naturally saw the change in Shen Qi at this time and felt very wronged in her heart. Originally, this matter was what his junior sister wanted him to do, he only wanted to watch her take advantage of the situation and beg for his help.
Thinking about that, Situ Ye did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he still nodded and admitted it, “I made the arrangements, but I have no other intentions.” He didn’t forget to defend himself.
King Xian didn’t care if you had any other intentions, but he chose to say it at this time in order for the wangfei to see clearly what Situ Ye meant. He wanted to let her see just how treacherous, how deceitful, and how hypocritical he was.
As a result, when Prince Duan heard him admit it, he looked at her in a very good mood. As expected, she seemed to be slightly displeased with her senior brother, and that was enough, the wangfei would never reveal her feelings. From this, it could be seen how much she disliked Situ Ye.
King Xian was satisfied with this result and did not waste his time investigating the matter. However, he did not forget his other goal. “A purpose?” he asked expressionlessly.
Situ Ye shook his head and laughed bitterly, “I really don’t have any intentions.” Even if he had a goal, it wasn’t me. He really wanted to say it, but he knew that he couldn’t say it, so he could only bitterly smile.
King Xian raised an eyebrow and looked at him seriously. No purpose? Who would believe it! You spent so much effort to get this person here that we all thought you were up to something, yet you’re telling me that you have no purpose?
At this time, Situ Ye truly wanted to say that he was full and full. As he was in a deadlock, Fu Xuerou’s voice came from the other side, “Senior Brother, you came back, and I’m going to die of boredom. This time, you must bring me out to play.”
Shen Qi looked at her without saying a word, but Situ Ye remained expressionless. It’s precisely because you caused me to be in such a miserable state, yet you acted as if nothing had happened, what right do you have to do that?
Hearing this, King Xian looked at Shen Qi. “Didn’t you say you wanted the wangfei to bring her out to take a look?” He didn’t have any other intentions, he just asked a question.
However, in Fu Xuerou’s ears, she could tell that she was dissatisfied with Wang Concubine. She did not speak up for Shen Qi and could not wait for him to dislike her, but she still looked at Shen Qi closely to see how she would reply.
Shen Qi smiled indifferently, “Miss Fu travelled thousands of miles to come to the capital just to see Your Highness. At this time, I obviously hope that you could accompany me there, so it’s best if I don’t get involved.”
He immediately frowned, but after thinking about Fu Xuerou’s personality, he knew that the little junior sister was being stubborn, so he consoled Shen Qi, “Since it’s like this, you don’t have to worry, just leave it to her.”
Fu Xuerou was so angry that she died, she didn’t even know how to reel him in when she said those words in front of him, and what did senior mean by those words? Why does it seem like I’m so ignorant?
Situ Ye shook his head and laughed. This wangfei had a good understanding of the prince’s temper, he knew how to make Duke Xian understand, but not just that, her little junior sister thought she was smart enough and didn’t meet anyone smarter than him. Furthermore, she had lost in the beginning due to her feelings for Duke Xian and had lost her sense of propriety.
It was clear to see that this junior sister was not a match for the wangfei. Although she had always appeared neither impatient nor impatient, as if she didn’t know what was going on in her mind, she was afraid that she might know!
Unwilling to be ignored, Fu Xuerou said to Duke Xian in a spoiled manner, “As expected, once you marry your wife, you will not care about me anymore. Senior Brother would treat me like this in the past, and I will not comply!” On one hand, she was acting coquettishly towards Duke Xian, and on the other hand, she had demonstrated to Shen Qi that she had known him longer than her Queen’s Consort.
If she hadn’t existed in the past between them, then would not have anything to do with the things that happened at that time. In this way, it could be considered as indirectly isolating her.
However, Shen Qi didn’t care from the start, she didn’t care what she said. She smiled and bowed to King Xian, “My prince, please accompany Sir Situ and Miss Fu to have a talk. Your concubine will arrange lunch with you first.” Since she was still the mistress of the Queen’s Consort, why should she fight over other things? Furthermore, she was also the mistress of the King’s Mansion, so why should she fight over the rest of the positions?
King Xian nodded. “I went out in the morning and saw many fresh fruits and vegetables. I ate them at noon.” It was already a little hot at this time, so it was better to eat lightly.
Shen Qi smiled as she replied, “Yes, chenqie will take her leave now.” With that, she turned around and led her maidservants away.
Hearing that she was calling herself a concubine again made Prince Duanren somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing that an outsider was thinking that Imperial Concubine didn’t want anyone else to get a handle on her, he silently agreed.
After Shen Qi had walked far away, King Duanren said to Fu Xuerou: “You should also go back first, I have something to say to Senior Brother.” Although she didn’t have the commanding tone when speaking to her subordinates, there was an unquestionable domineering tone to his tone.
