Demon Doctor's Crazy Consort
Shuang'er carried breakfast back to Su Yu Xuan from the kitchen, and all she heard along the way were rumors and gossip about Shen Yun Xi.
Every time she heard Shen Yunxi's sarcastic remarks, Shuang'er wanted to retort back. However, thinking that they were outnumbered, she endured it and puffed out her cheeks, secretly glaring at those idle people.
What's going on! If it weren't for Master Wang insulting Miss with a dog hole first, Miss would never have said those words.
Miss, she didn't do anything wrong at all. She was just protecting herself. All of this was caused by the prince's actions first, he is the main culprit!
What a group of people who can't tell right from wrong!!
Of course, given Feng Qingchen's considerable provocation last night, these words would be something that Shuang'er wouldn't dare say even if she had ten times the courage.
So, the grievances that Shuang'er had just suppressed in her heart surged up again, but she could only hold it back until they returned to Suishou Xuan, where there were only the two of them, and she was finally able to vent.
Shuang'er slammed the breakfast tray onto the table and complained to Shen Yunxi, who had just walked out of the inner hall: "Miss, the people in this Wang Fu are really too much! They actually talk badly about you behind your back, they're even more despicable than those people from earlier!"
Shen Yunxi sat down beside the table, smiling slightly as she asked her: "Don't you have any grievances against them in your heart?"
"Hmm..." Shuang'er was momentarily stunned, but still refused to give in and said: "Miss! Do you know what they're all saying about you?! If you heard it, you might be even angrier than me."
"What can be said? It's just some unloved and reckless words." Shen Yunxi said casually while ladling the porridge into a bowl.
Shuang Er's eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed: "Miss, you also overheard their conversation?"
Shen Yunxi raised her eyes and smiled lightly, saying: "Even if I hadn't heard it, I could have guessed."
"After a pause, he said: 'In the future, let's not bother with these things. They have the right to say what they want, and we can't stop them. We just live our lives, if we always calculate with others, isn't it too tiring?'"
"Mm." Shuang'er pouted and nodded silently. She understood the reasoning, but she just couldn't get over it.
Shen Yunxi also knew Shuang'er's mood and didn't say anything else. She put the well-cooked porridge in front of Shuang'er, "Hurry up and eat, after eating we'll go for a stroll in the Wang Fu."
The master and servant finished their breakfast, cleaned up a bit, and then left the Shu Yu Xuan.
Before entering the Shuiyu Pavilion, Shuang'er asked Shen Yunxi, "Miss, shouldn't we wait for Prince Wang's other concubines to come and pay their respects?"
"Do you think they'll come?" Shen Yunxi didn't answer and instead asked back. Shuang'er pursed her lips, this question seemed somewhat redundant.
Shen Yunxi was originally indifferent to this matter of asking for peace, and if it wasn't for Shuang'er mentioning it, she wouldn't have had any thoughts about it at all.
At this moment, I just find it somewhat amusing.
There is probably no one else in this dynasty who has had such an experience as hers.
Who would have thought that on her wedding day, she would be subjected to her husband's humiliation and embarrassment, making her a laughing stock in the eyes of others, and almost losing her life at his hands? Although she gave Feng Qingchen a beautiful counterattack, the harm had already been done, and no matter how much she tried to smooth things over, it was impossible to go back to the way things were before.
As the master, Feng Qingchen treated her this way, how could those who followed him treat her any better?
It's better if you don't come. If you do, it would be just a pretentious show of affection and concern, with cold ridicule and hot sarcasm behind your back. Isn't Jingxian from last night a good example?
It's better for her to go out and have a stroll, at least she'll be happy and relaxed.
As for the days in the palace afterwards, it was a matter of fighting against the incoming army and covering up with earth when water came!
Walking slowly on the gravel path outside the Shuiyu Pavilion, the chrysanthemums in the garden are competing to bloom, red, yellow, white... In the morning sun's gentle rays, they sway gently in the breeze, fragrant and overflowing, refreshing the heart.
Seeing such a beautiful view, even the wound on my left shoulder doesn't hurt so much anymore.
However, pleasant times are always short-lived. Before Shen Yunxi and the others had walked far in the garden, they saw Feng Qingchen hurrying towards them with a furious expression, followed closely by his personal guard Long Wu.
"Your Highness, what has made you so angry?"
Feng Qingchen had just stood in front of them, and before he could speak, Shen Yunxi asked him with a faint smile. Shuang'er bowed her head and stood beside Shen Yunxi, curtsying to Feng Qingchen.
"Shen Yunxi!" Feng Qingchen's voice was a thunderous roar, as if it would shatter her eardrums.
Shen Yunxi furrowed her brow, "What does the king mean by this? If I'm not mistaken, I didn't provoke you today, did I?"
"Hmph!" Feng Qingchen's expression turned cold as she spoke in a low tone, "Do you think the rumors about me outside the city can deceive me?"
Shen Yunxi's eyes were filled with doubt and she asked, "Rumors? Didn't the prince already know about the rumors outside? Why bother to deceive him?"
Seeing Shen Yunxi's extremely innocent appearance, Feng Qingchen's expression turned gloomy and his voice grew even colder. "At this point in time, you still dare to deceive me?"
Shen Yunxi smiled lightly and said calmly: "If the prince speaks like this, Yunxi really can't understand. Please clarify, Your Highness."
Feng Qingchen coldly took a step closer to Shen Yunxi and said: "Fine! I'll make you completely give up!"
Shen Yunxi's mouth still had a faint smile, unwavering and unyielding, standing straight in the autumn wind, facing Feng Qingchen's sharp gaze.
"Long Wu! Give it to her!"
Feng Qingchen gave a soft order, and Long Wu took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom and handed it to Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi took the bamboo tube, gazed at Feng Qingchen for a moment, then pulled out a letter from the tube. The letter was blank except for three words in the bottom left corner - Shen Yunxi.
At this, Shen Yunxi smiled and said: "I said why this bamboo tube looks a bit familiar? It turns out that it was the family letter I sent back this morning." After a pause, he raised his head and asked Feng Qingchen strangely: "How did my family letter end up in the king's hands?"
"The princess, this is the message taken from the carrier pigeon that flew out of the Shuiyu Pavilion by the guard on duty early this morning." Long Wu answered her question on behalf of Feng Qingchen.
Shen Yunxi nodded calmly and said, "But what's wrong with that?"
Under the morning light, Feng Qingchen's face was tense, with a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth. He took another step closer to her, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at her: "Since it's a family letter, why didn't you leave a single word? Are you trying to feign mystery and secretly cross the river? To shift my attention away from the rumors in the city that say I'm not benevolent, and make me suspect that it was you who spread those words?"
Shen Yunxi's mouth curled up with a sarcastic smile: "Yunxi didn't write anything, which means everything is fine with Yunxi, and Father shouldn't worry about me. Besides, isn't there a law in Tianqi Country that prohibits writing family letters like this? As for the rumors you mentioned, Your Highness, if you hadn't said it just now, Yunxi wouldn't have known about them, so how could I possibly instruct someone to spread them?"
She paused, her tone cold and continued: "Your Highness, I can understand why you would be furious after hearing this rumor, but you can't fabricate evidence to point the finger at me. Please investigate thoroughly before pursuing responsibility, otherwise, if you wrongly accuse someone, it will be your fault."
Feng Qingchen's dark eyes narrowed, tightly fixed on Shen Yunxi, her entire body exuding an icy cold aura that seemed to want to swallow her whole.
Shen Yunxi also stared at him coldly, not showing any weakness. Seeing this, Shuang'er pulled her sleeve from behind with all her might, hinting that she shouldn't confront Feng Qingchen like last night, but she remained unmoved.
Just then, Housekeeper Chu Han hurried over to them, walking up to their front and bowing his hands to Feng Qingchen: "Your Highness, there's been a murder in the manor!"
