Chapter 18 I Marry You
Chapter 18 I Marry You
However, Yan Chu completely lost his mind because of her unfamiliar name.
For some reason, at that moment he felt that she just wanted him, and not just anyone could do it.
He was sober when they entangled again, but when he touched her, he completely lost his self-control. However, unlike the recklessness last time, his gentle palms with heat pressed against her beautiful body, stirring up flames. Her delicate voice lingered in his ears again and again.
After an unknown amount of time, Bitao, sweating profusely, ran into the house carrying water.
"Miss……"
She had just called out when she was hit by something. Before Bi Tao could say anything, she saw two bodies entangled inseparably in the gap of the curtain, and then she lost consciousness.
Obviously, the person who was drugged was Shen Zhishu, but it was Yan Chu who went crazy. It was even more unbearable than that night by the river.
But it’s a completely different feeling.
They quarreled from the afternoon until midnight, and only when dawn was about to break did Yan Chu let her go.
"Let's call off your marriage with Du Cheng. I will welcome you as my concubine in the future."
Shen Zhishu was tormented so much that he couldn't even straighten his back. He fell limply on the bed and wanted to sleep.
But the words Yan Chu said when he left revived her spirit.
Before she could ask, the man had already climbed over the wall and left, leaving behind a room full of absurdity. Even the quilt was stained with his scent, reminding her that this was not a dream.
Although the process is always unexpected, isn’t the result right?
Now that his wish had been fulfilled, Shen Zhishu no longer had any worries.
Three days later.
Yan Chu came to propose marriage in person.
Shen Zhishu had already told his father about this, and since King Shuo resorted to that despicable means, they had already chosen King Qin.
So Shen Wang was not surprised and had no doubts. After thinking for a moment, he agreed.
"My little girl... I am grateful for your love, Your Highness. However, I have been spoiled by you since she was young, so she may be a little spoiled and willful. If I do something wrong in the future, please be lenient, Your Highness. I will be very grateful."
As long as the King of Qin treats his daughter well, Shen Wang is willing to serve him until his death.
"Don't worry, Lord Shen. I will never treat Shu'er unfairly."
Yan Chu looked cold.
During the whole proposal process, he never looked at Shen Zhishu once. Although the address was intimate at this moment, it was just a name.
It seemed like they hadn't seen each other for three days and they felt much more unfamiliar.
Everything that night seemed like a dream.
However, Shen Zhishu didn't care much about his attitude. After all, from the very beginning, he was targeting the Princess of Qin.
Since he had proposed marriage, Shen Wang did not object to the two of them getting along. He even went to the Dali Temple on the pretext of having official business so that the two of them could get along with each other.
But as soon as he left, Yan Chu left too.
He was too cold towards the concubine he had promised to marry.
Shen Zhishu felt relieved after watching the people leave.
Now that the marriage is settled, I should do something before the wedding, otherwise, after entering the palace, I will have few opportunities to leave.
"Miss, that night...was it His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?"
But when Bitao came back from fetching water that day, she really saw someone.
Now that the King of Qin had come forward to propose marriage, she had to think more.
Her young lady has lost her innocence. If that man was not the King of Qin, wouldn't the young lady be tortured to death by the King of Qin after the marriage?
So she needed to confirm this.
"Well, this matter must never be mentioned again in the future. Let's just pretend that nothing happened. I will just wait for the wedding with peace of mind."
She hooked up with the man before marriage, and more than once.
If this had happened in her previous life, the first time her innocence was taken away from her, she would probably have hanged herself.
But now...she will never die as long as the Princess of Qin does not die. Having lived two lives, she does not care too much about the innocence of a girl.
"It's a pity that this marriage was arranged too hastily. Although concubines don't have as many rules as the main wife, the madam and the eldest son are not in Kyoto. If you want to get married, the madam won't have time to prepare your dowry..."
In her heart, Bitao was dissatisfied with the wedding date proposed by the King of Qin. It was set on the eighth day of next month, which was only half a month away and was really too rushed.
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what they were so anxious to do, but the master and the young lady both agreed.
Aren’t you afraid of people gossiping about you if you get married suddenly like this?
"Hurry up, so as not to cause more trouble at night."
But Shen Zhishu was so satisfied with the wedding date that it could be held before Princess Qin returned to Kyoto.
Perhaps the King of Qin also wanted to understand the matter before the Princess of Qin returned, otherwise it would be difficult to explain later.
"Miss, are you afraid of the Princess Qin?"
Bitao was not stupid and she guessed what the young lady meant immediately.
The Princess of Qin is not in Kyoto right now, so entering the family now would really save a lot of trouble and she wouldn't be bullied by the mistress of the house.
“I am a little scared.”
How could she not be afraid? The Princess of Qin was of noble status, born into a military family, and had her own military merits. She was simply not comparable to ordinary women like them.
Besides, she is the apple of King Qin's eye.
Now that she had planned for Prince Qin to enter the palace, to him, she was nothing more than an insignificant vase. Even after Prince Qin's wife came back, she would still be just a vase placed in the secret compartment.
No matter how you look at it, she really has no chance of winning.
"Miss, don't be afraid. Since His Highness wants to marry you, he will definitely protect you, and I will also protect you well."
Bi Tao had heard rumors about the Princess of Qin, who was a martial arts expert, had a prominent status, and was also very jealous. After she married the King of Qin, all the concubines who had been in the mansion were driven away by her. Those who were unwilling to stay disappeared directly, and it was rumored that they had already been killed.
Thinking of this, Bitao felt that the young lady had jumped into a fire pit.
There is still half a month before getting married.
She had to find a backer for herself, and she couldn't rely on anyone except her family.
In her previous life, Huang Gui threw her to those rich businessmen, and she suffered a lot, but it was not completely useless. At least she knew those people's weaknesses too well.
Moreover, she knew exactly where each small treasury was hidden.
But it is not appropriate for her to show up in public, and who knows whether the King of Qin will keep a close eye on her from now on?
After careful consideration, Shen Zhishu felt that he should have a good talk with his father.
If you ask her who in the world is the best to her, who will not betray her or frame her, it is only her family.
After nightfall.
Shen Zhishu specially made her father's favorite rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, and then the father and daughter began to talk late into the night.
"Father, now that you have chosen a side, you can no longer be like before, not making friends with the court officials and focusing on solving cases. That would be of little use to the King of Qin. I am worried that if I make a wrong move one day, I will be abandoned by the King of Qin..."
"Don't worry, for you, father will definitely work hard. There are many things that father disdained to do before, but it's not that he can't do it. This time, father has seen through the case of the private gun factory."
Although nothing happened, judging by the progress of his investigation, their entire family almost became a victim of the prince's attempt to seize power.
