Spoiled Wife - C76
Fu Xuerou was a little dissatisfied, it was not easy for the Queen’s Consort to tactfully leave, but her Senior Brother actually chased her away, but she also knew Duke Xiang’s temper, and pouted her lips to express her displeasure.
Seeing her act this way, Duke Xiang knew that she had been spoiled badly by her master. She had a domineering temperament, so she said, “I’ll bring you around the capital later.” It could be considered compensation.
Fu Xuerou was happy to hear that, “Really? Senior Brother, you must keep your word. ” Seeing that King Xian had nodded his head in confirmation, she reluctantly took three steps back and left.
Situ Ye tsk-tsked, “Junior Brother still knows how to coax junior sister.” These words were rather playful.
King Xian knew his personality, so he ignored him and asked, “Speak, what is your purpose for coming to the capital?” He even did that in advance.
He didn’t have so much scruples towards King Di, so he smiled and said, “If I say I’m here to watch a show, would you believe me?”
King Xian nodded. “I do.” He was such a person, but, “What kind of show is this?” Has anything happened recently in the capital? It even caught his attention?
Situ Ye said in an impolite tone, “Of course it’s a scene where you, the Duke, cause countless women to step forth from one another with your charm!”
How could Fu Xuerou not know what was going on in his mind? It was just that because her master did not state it clearly, she thought that since she had already married the wangfei to express her own intentions, she would give up. Seems like he had still underestimated the persistence of this woman.
“She asked me to send Wang Ruoyan back.” She just helped out to watch a play, that’s all.
In truth, he did not really care about Wang Ruoyan’s death at the beginning, but when he thought about it later on, he realized that something was not right. How could he suddenly become sick and die so quickly?
If it was according to the rumors in the capital that the Wang family did not hate him, then that would be considered good, but why would they express such an emotion? He did not understand what was inside that he did not know, so he sent people to investigate, and the result was that Wang Ruoyan was not dead from the start, but had eloped with a scholar.
The Wang family’s expression of guilt and fear was completely clear. At that time, he was also angry, wishing that they could immediately bring her back to justice. No matter who was hit like that, they would not be indifferent.
However, after calming down, he felt that this was not a good thing at all. In any case, he had no impression of that Miss Wang, let alone liking her. At that time, he didn’t have that intention, and if his mother wasn’t anxious to get angry, he wouldn’t have agreed to the engagement to appease her.
Then, a rumor spread out that he sucked the blood of two Queen’s Consort s who had been scared to death by him. He didn’t know who spread these words, but by the time he found out, it had already spread around the entire capital, and it was even said that he had eyes and ears, as if he had personally witnessed it himself.
Duke Xian didn’t care about these rumors and blocked a lot of trouble for him. However, the empress dowager cared a lot about him, so she said that Wang Ruoyan was a short-lived demon after all.
Back then, King Xian had been rather speechless and hadn’t told her that the young mistress of the Wang family hadn’t died at all. But the empress dowager knew this time, and in a way like this as well. One could well imagine how angry she was.
This time, when he found out that it was Fu Xuerou who had caused this matter, he had a headache. Master had left early, and Master only had a daughter like her, he had spoiled her a little too much.
Even if it was for his master’s sake, he wouldn’t make things difficult for this junior sister, but this time, she had chased him to the capital. He couldn’t help but have a headache thinking about this.
That was why she did not have any good impression of Situ Ye who came with her. Wasn’t it fine to stay in Mo Bei, did he have to come to the capital to wade through this muddy water?
Situ Ye also knew that King Duan didn’t like him a lot, so he didn’t tell him that the rumors were actually spread by his junior!
Fu Xuerou was fifteen this year, and she was younger than Shen Qi by a month. On the eighth birthday, in order to ensure that she would not be single before she was old enough, she had put in a lot of effort to spread the rumors, and the more unbearable it was, the less people would be willing to marry her. At the end, when she was old enough, she would be able to marry her senior brother.
At first, Fu Xuerou was still proud of herself and thought that this method was good. She was pleased with herself for a while and felt that the matter of him marrying her senior brother was certain.
Who would have thought that King Duanren would fall unconscious from the sky after being assassinated? Furthermore, the empress dowager had found a bride for him, and when Fu Xuerou heard this news, her blood started to boil.
On one hand, he hated those assassins for injuring King Duanren. On the other hand, he felt that his imagination had been shattered and that King Duanren had actually married his imperial concubine!
However, because Shen Qi had entered the King’s Mansion when King Duanren was in a coma, he heard that she hadn’t grown up yet, so he gave her some hope. She felt that Senior Brother wouldn’t like this kind of woman, and even if he did, he would have to wait until she had passed before he could get his hands on her.
The reason why she brought Wang Ruoyan back was to scold Shen Qi, she thought that whenever women meet with this kind of situation, they would cause a ruckus, and her senior brother disliked it when women pestered and pestered him recklessly. At that time, the more she felt dissatisfied towards Queen’s Consort, the more she would have the chance to separate them.
As long as their relationship dropped to the freezing point, so what if they couldn’t divorce this Queen’s Consort from the future? As the lateral consort, senior brother felt that if he felt wronged, he would treat her much better.
When the time came, he would have all sorts of titles other than that of a Queen’s Consort. Furthermore, he would also have the power of a wangfei charge in front of him to prevent a lot of trouble as well as the empress dowager’s difficulties. No matter how he thought about it, it would be perfect, so she decided to do just that.
Queen’s Consort was a very beautiful woman. Not only was she beautiful, her temperament was one in a million, and no matter how he provoked her, she would remain indifferent. Sometimes, she would be able to make him speechless with her.
If such a smart woman were to meet him somewhere else, perhaps he would be able to become friends with her. Unfortunately, she was the Queen’s Consort, and Fu Xuerou was unwilling to accept this, but also had a bad taste in her mouth. Especially when she saw that his Senior Brother would unconsciously soften his expression when facing her.
This made her even more unwilling. She had silently paid for so many years, and had given countless hints to her senior brother, but she had never seen him treat her like this. And now, he was actually moved by a person who wanted to become an imperial concubine!
She liked her senior brother. She felt that in this world, there was no one who liked him more than she did. Then, why was it that a woman who always had a calm face and pretended to be so elegant was able to get her senior brother’s heart? She was unwilling to accept this. She wanted to let her senior see just who liked him more and loved him even more, so that he would understand. She did not believe that he would still be willing to be tempted by a woman who did not have her own heart.
Fu Xuerou’s thoughts were unknown to others, but Duke Xian knew that she had a domineering personality when she was young, so he had to get whatever he wanted. It was probably the same for him at this time, which made his head hurt even more.
“When did you leave?” The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became.
Situ Ye looked at him in shock. I can’t make a decision, as you know, I came here today mainly to accompany my junior sister, so the moment she leaves, it’ll be up to her to decide what to do. ”
“I have a lot of things to do during this period of time. I’ll take you guys for a walk in two days. After that, you can leave.” King Di immediately gave the order.
It was indeed a lot of things. In June, Shen Jiazhen would be married, in July, Shen Qi would be young, and in July, there would be a talent show. Even if there wasn’t something related to him, his royal brother would probably not let him off easily.
It wasn’t the first time, so he was used to it.
When Situ Ye heard this, he immediately said: “That’s none of my business, this will depend on your abilities.” As for whether or not his junior-apprentice sister was willing to go and look at Prince Duanren’s attitude …
King Xian frowned and didn’t say anything. He made up his mind to have them leave as soon as possible and to have his junior sister give up. He had treated her like his own sister in the first place, so he couldn’t bear to see her again.
When they returned to the Cang Lan Yuan, Shen Qi was giving orders to give Shen Jiazhen a present to add on to Xia Ying’s makeup.
Seeing how she was ordering them one by one in an orderly manner, without any hurry, calm and indifferent, she unconsciously made people feel relaxed. She felt that doing these things was not that troublesome.
The servants came over to greet him when they saw him. “Your Highness.” King Xian waved his hand, and the maidservants and attendants silently withdrew. This was also the usual behavior of a servant. King Xian liked to talk to his imperial concubine alone.
Shen Qi looked at him with a smile, “Finished? Is Your Highness going to set up a meal? ” He didn’t even ask what they had said.
“Go ahead.”
As a result, Shen Qi instructed the servants to prepare some food. As expected, there were a few vegetables that were ready in time, either stir-fried or cold.
“Bring them out tomorrow and we’ll send them back in a few days. The capital has a lot of things to do, so we can’t be bothered with them when we’re busy.” After dinner, King Duan said this.
Shen Qi was startled, then laughed: “Your Highness has decided on it, it is good.” She really didn’t expect that he would directly kick her out. However, she originally didn’t want to interfere in such matters. Since the Prince took over, it saved her a lot of trouble.
On the other side, Fu Xuerou had already found out that her senior wanted them to leave as soon as possible. At that time, she was drinking her tea, and when she heard it, she immediately slammed her cup down, squinting her eyes in hatred, “It must be Shen Qi’s idea, otherwise, why would senior chase them away?”
On the surface, he acted very magnanimously. It turned out that he was also a hypocritical and sinister individual who could pretend to be good enough to deceive his senior brother.
Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up. “This won’t do. How can I just sit by and watch Senior Apprentice Brother be fooled by such a woman?” After that, he had to think of a way to reveal Shen Qi’s mask.
“You said that there’s a palace maid that the empress dowager has given to serve Senior Brother, but until now, she still doesn’t have a title?” She turned to her head to ask her servant, Dong Mei.
Dong Mei lowered her head and walked forward as she replied, “Yes Miss, this servant has heard that her name is Lan Xin.”
“Where do you live now?” Fu Xuerou seemed to have thought of something and asked.
“In reply to Miss, I’m staying at the Qin Lan Garden.” With that, he glanced at the expression on his mistress’s face. Anyone who heard this name for the first time would have thought that it was specially given to this girl. They would have thought that this girl was doted upon by the prince.
But Fu Xuerou laughed sarcastically: “That’s quite a coincidence.” She did not think that her Senior Brother would have so much love for a palace maid.
However, no matter how coincidental it was, it was fine as long as she could achieve her goal. Thinking of this, she looked towards the direction of the Cang Lan Yuan and revealed a smile that said she was determined to get her hands on it.
