HCB Chapter 128 Returning Home on the 3rd Day
Chapter 128 Returning Home on the 3rd Day
I returned home on three days, as expected.
Shen Tangan originally thought that Mu Chenye was busy with state affairs and would not accompany her back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have planned it all, waiting outside the door early and even prepared generous gifts.
"Princess Princess, the prince really loves you. He is so busy that he still personally accompanies you back to the mansion."
A warm feeling surged in Shen Tangan's heart, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
She looked at Mu Chenye, her eyes full of emotion.
Mu Chenye walked up to her and held her hand gently.
"On the day of returning home, I will naturally accompany you."
His voice was low and warm, which made Shen Tangan feel warm inside.
They got on the carriage together and drove towards the marquis's mansion.
Inside the carriage, Shen Tangan leaned on Mu Chenye's shoulder, his heart filled with joy.
"My Lord, you are so busy, but you still take time to accompany me back home. I am really happy."
Shen Tangan said softly.
Mu Chenye gently stroked her hair.
"No matter how busy I am, I will never ignore your affairs."
Finally, the carriage arrived at the marquis's mansion.
The mansion had already been decorated with lights and was bustling with activity.
For such a major event, Shen Jiyuan sent people to guard outside the palace gate early in the morning, and immediately reported when they saw the carriage coming from the palace.
Shen Jiyuan and everyone in the mansion came out to greet them. Shen Tangan and Mu Chenye got off the carriage, and Shen Jiyuan and others saluted respectfully.
"See the prince and the princess."
Mu Chenye raised his hand slightly, "No need to be polite."
Shen Tangan looked at his family with joy in his eyes. Although he had only been away for a few days, it felt like he hadn't seen them for a long time.
Shen Jiyuan smiled, "It is an honor for our mansion that the prince can personally accompany the princess back home."
They all walked into the Marquis' Mansion together. The mansion was decorated festively and warmly.
The living room was filled with a sumptuous banquet, and Shen Jiyuan invited Mu Chenye to take a seat.
Mu Chenye declined, saying, "Today, I am accompanying the princess back home. I am a junior and should not take the seat."
Shen Jiyuan then sat down at the first seat tremblingly, and was extremely flattering throughout the meal.
When Shen Tangan had almost finished eating, she returned to Biyun Courtyard with Lin. Naturally, the mother and daughter had something to discuss in private.
Walking into Biyun Courtyard, the familiar scenery filled Shen Tangan's heart with emotion.
Lin held her daughter's hand, her eyes full of love and concern.
"Tang'er, are you used to living in the palace? Is the prince treating you well?"
Lin asked softly.
Shen Tangan showed a happy smile on his face, "Don't worry, mother, the prince treats me very well. The people in the palace are also very kind."
Lin nodded slightly, "That's good. You are a married woman now, and you are pregnant, so you should be more careful in everything."
Shen Tangan responded obediently: "Daughter understands. Mother, are you in good health?"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. As long as you are happy, we will be relieved."
Lin said gently.
The mother and daughter chatted about some family matters and shared each other's daily lives.
Shen Tangan felt his mother's deep love and felt very warm in his heart.
After a while, Shen Tangan remembered that Mu Chenye was still outside, so she stood up and said, "Mother, I should go out now. I can't keep the prince waiting for too long."
Lin nodded, "Okay, go ahead. Remember to take good care of yourself."
Shen Tangan left Biyun Courtyard and returned to the living room.
When Mu Chenye saw her coming back, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
Shen Jiyuan felt relieved to see her come back.
Before I knew it, the time to go back home was almost over.
Shen Tangan and Mu Chenye stood up to say goodbye. Shen Jiyuan and others sent them to the gate of the mansion, their eyes full of reluctance.
"My Lord, Princess, please come back often when you have time."
Mrs. Lin was reluctant to let go because she only had this one daughter!
Mu Chenye nodded slightly, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, we will come back often."
Shen Tangan looked at his family, feeling reluctant to leave.
But she knows that now that she has her own family, she also has to work hard for the future.
They got on the carriage and drove towards the palace.
Inside the carriage, Shen Tangan leaned on Mu Chenye's shoulder, his heart filled with longing for his family and expectations for the future.
When Shen Qingwan heard that Shen Tangan had returned home in such a grand manner, the fire of jealousy in her heart instantly ignited. She paced back and forth in her room anxiously, her delicate face becoming somewhat distorted by anger.
"Why is she so glorious!" Shen Qingwan gnashed her teeth and shouted, her voice full of resentment and resentment. Her eyes swept across the furnishings in the house, and those treasures that she was once proud of now seemed so dull.
She recalled the scene when Shen Tangan came home. It was a grand ceremony. The prince accompanied him personally and prepared generous gifts. The mansion was decorated with lights and it was very lively. Everyone was respectful to Shen Tangan and the prince. And what about herself? She could only be jealous in this corner, no one cared about her.
Shen Qingwan became more and more angry as she thought about it. She suddenly grabbed a vase on the table and smashed it hard to the ground. The vase shattered instantly, making a crisp sound, but it could not calm her anger. She picked up the tea set beside her and smashed it hard on the ground, splashing tea everywhere.
"Shen Tangan, you are just lucky." Shen Qingwan said viciously. She could not accept Shen Tangan's current happiness. In her opinion, Shen Tangan did not deserve all this. She felt that she was more beautiful and intelligent than Shen Tangan and deserved a better fate.
She continued to vent her emotions in the house, smashing everything she could. The maids were trembling with fear outside the door, not daring to go in to dissuade her. Shen Qingwan's jealousy spread like poisonous weeds in her heart, making her lose her mind. She didn't know how to get rid of this pain, and could only let the flames of jealousy consume her.
Shen Qingwan's room was in a mess. She was panting, her chest rising and falling violently, and the fire of jealousy in her eyes was still not extinguished.
The maids hesitated outside the door for a long time, and finally one of them was brave enough to knock on the door gently. "Miss, please don't get angry and get yourself sick."
Shen Qingwan shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out!"
The maids were so scared that they quickly retreated and dared not approach. Shen Qingwan slumped in the chair, her hands clenched tightly into fists. She was thinking in her mind that she must find a way to destroy Shen Tangan's happiness.
"Shen Tangan, I won't let you be so proud forever." Shen Qingwan swore secretly.
As the days passed, Shen Qingwan began to frequently go to various social occasions, trying to find opportunities to get close to Mu Chenye or to create rumors that were unfavorable to Shen Tangan. However, Mu Chenye's love for Shen Tangan was well known to everyone, and she had no idea where to start.
Once, at a banquet, Shen Qingwan saw Shen Tangan and Mu Chenye coming hand in hand. The loving look between them made Shen Qingwan's jealousy surge again. She deliberately walked to Shen Tangan and said with a fake smile: "Sister, you are so lucky to be loved by the prince."
Shen Tangan frowned slightly. She saw Shen Qingwan's ill intentions. "Thank you for the compliment, sister."
