Shen Jingci has developed this habit since she was a child and does not trust anyone. Although she trusts Shi Mo now, she still can't help but feel angry and suspicious.
Shi Mo always knew what she was thinking. When he saw what she said, he immediately knelt down and said, "Master, don't you understand me yet? I can tell clearly whether they are sincere or not."
Shen Jingci looked at her for a long time, then helped her up and sighed, "Since the Shen family is over, the only one I can rely on is you, so you must stay vigilant and don't let anyone take advantage of you. Do you understand? ?”
She said "sincerely", and Shi Mo naturally agreed sincerely, "Master, don't worry, I will go to great lengths for you, and I won't hesitate to do anything!"
After the master and servant finished expressing their friendship, they got down to business.
"The rumors outside are now fiercer than tigers. How is the master going to deal with it?"
Seeing the worry on Shi Mo's face, Shen Jingci only thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just some rumors. As long as it's not the emperor's decree, it doesn't matter."
At this point, she sneered again and said, "Does Qin Wanyi think that she can drive me out of Prince Qi's Mansion just by relying on these rumors? What a joke! Now that she has left this door, then I will have a way to make Prince Qi completely Abandoned her!"
She had long disliked Qin Wanyi. Why should a person with no merit take the position of the concubine, while she could only succumb to others
Especially now that she has a child in her belly!
Shen Jingci made up her mind and explained to Shi Mo for a long time. When Xiao Junhan came in, she saw Shi Mo walking out with a serious look on his face and almost bumped heads with him.
Shi Mo was startled, and immediately knelt down and saluted, "Slave, I'd like to pay my respects to the prince."
Shi Mo stuttered as he spoke, causing Xiao Junhan to look over suspiciously and ask, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Xiao Junhan was angry and spoke rudely, but Shi Mo was startled and stood there in a daze, not daring to speak.
Still, Shen Jingci couldn't stand it, so she calmly ordered, "Shi Mo, you have nothing to do here, go down." Shi Mo retreated as if he was being amnesty.
After Shi Mo went out, Shen Jingci sat back at the table again and said expressionlessly, "Even if the prince is angry with me, there is no need to use a knife on this servant, Shi Mo, right?"
Seeing her indifferent expression, Xiao Junhan immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I've been running around and being looked down upon by people these days, isn't it because of you? Even if you want to deal with Qin Wanyi, you might as well do it secretly. You are like this now What did you do?!"
He left so many clues, and in the end he was looked down upon and laughed at!
Shen Jingci sneered in her heart and thought to herself, wasn't it just for her own face? But she didn't know how to say these words, so she put on a sad look on her face, "If the prince really thinks so, then you can just take me to hold me accountable. Anyway, I don't have the protection of my family now." , a weak woman cannot compare to the great business of the princess’s family, and when she is wronged, there are still people who will stand up for her.”
What she said happened to hit Xiao Junhan's point.
"Humph, the family is big and the business is big? Isn't it? It's so big that the King is sued every day in Jinluan Palace! They say that the wife is the husband's help and support each other, but now I only see her being arrogant and domineering!" In Xiao Junhan's view , The reason why the Qin family is like this is mostly because Qin Wanyi is behind it.
As a woman, she should obey the three virtues and the four virtues. Doesn’t she understand that the husband is the guide for his wife
Even if he, Xiao Junhan, did something wrong, she should just accept it. It was really outrageous to incite her family members to make trouble with him like this!
Shen Jingci sneered in her heart, but her face was filled with worry, "Your Majesty—"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I will go to the palace with you tomorrow. If anything happens, we can explain it to you face to face. If it really doesn't work -"
When Xiao Junhan thought of this, he sighed slightly and said, "The only option is to divorce my wife."
Shi Mo had been eavesdropping outside the door. It wasn't until he heard this that he relaxed and sneered slowly.
It wasn't until the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipated that Xie Ruzhuo woke up from his sleep.
In the past two days, her morning sickness had subsided a lot, but she was becoming more and more sleepy.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Junxi didn't call her, but just stayed by her side to review the papers as usual.
He held a piece of paper in his hand and read it several times, the sneer on his lips never leaving.
Hearing a slight noise from the bed behind her, Xiao Junxi was so busy that she looked back and saw Xie Ruzhuo looking at her sleepily. The coldness on the corners of his lips suddenly turned into a spring breeze, and he threw the note into the charcoal basin. He had a fever, so he walked over and asked softly, "Zhuo'er is awake, do you want some water?"
Although Xie Ruzhuo was in a daze, he could really see the coldness on his lips just now. He shook his head and said, "I won't drink. Jun Xi, what are you burning?"
The flames in the charcoal basin jumped very high, and then instantly turned into ashes.
Xiao Junxi just touched her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry about small things. Are you hungry?"
Seeing that he had changed the topic, Xie Ruzhuo was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He touched his stomach and smiled, "I'm a little hungry. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet." Xiao Junxi helped her get out of bed, and then said outside, "Jiangzhu, let's serve the food."
Hong Rui has already gotten married, and the newlywed Yan'er has not been in the house these days. Even in the future, the number of times he sees her will gradually decrease.
After Xie Ruzhuo finished eating, he saw a lot of memorials piled up on Xiao Junxi's desk. He walked around again, but there was really no one to accompany her, so he simply went to Xiao Junxi's side and looked at him crookedly as he reviewed the memorials.
However, after she saw the encrypted book on the desk, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils, "Didn't this book come from my father?"
Xiao Junxi turned around and saw the suspicion on her beloved wife's face. She immediately rubbed her hair and explained, "Father, my health has gotten worse since winter, so many things have changed." It was secretly entrusted to me."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo understood, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
Xiao Junxi knew what she was thinking, so she held her hand and said, "Zhuo'er, since I am destined to be unable to escape these dirty things in this life, I can only ascend to the highest position and create the safest situation for you. .”
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes were moist for a moment, and he looked directly at him and said, "I'm just afraid-"
I'm afraid that you will be at the cusp of the storm and not be safe.
Xiao Junxi kissed her gently on the forehead and sighed, "Si Zhuo'er, I'm here."
Xie Ruzhuo glared at him and said, "I'm not stupid."
The woman's eyebrows under the lamp were picturesque, and the wetness in her eyes made Xiao Junxi's mind wander. She lowered her head and kissed the slightly pouted lips.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't mind his sudden attack, and his eyes widened immediately, but after seeing Xiao Junxi's eyes as clear as stars, he closed them involuntarily.
Under the illumination of the palace lantern, her eyelashes are as long as crow's wings, with distinct roots, and the skin on her face is as tender as a shelled egg, which makes people fall in love.
Xiao Junxi's kiss aroused Huo'er, and her hands became a little dishonest.
But when he touched Xie Ruzhuo's slightly bulging abdomen, he let go of her with unsteady breath, gritted his teeth and sighed, "You are a troublemaker."
Xie Ruzhuo was also a little emotional, but after seeing Xiao Junxi like this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you blame me?"
Her delicate appearance became more and more alluring. Xiao Junxi suddenly hooked her neck and ravaged her lips fiercely. Then she said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Then he walked out.
Xie Ruzhuo touched his sore lips and murmured with a blush, "I don't have enough concentration, so why bother with me?"
It's just that the face is getting redder and redder.
The second day is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, which is already the small year.
After delivering all the annual gifts to the ministers and princes one by one, Xie Ruzhuo had another lunch and then went to the palace.
Xiao Xinning is now getting married, and she and Li Jie can no longer meet casually as before. She was bored in the palace, so she thought of Xie Ruzhuo. Yesterday, a carrier pigeon flew out several times to send her messages, telling Xie Ruzhuo to enter the palace today.
After Xie Ruzhuo finished his work, he remembered this sister-in-law, and immediately packed up and went to the princess palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Xiao Xinning fiddling with the wolf brush in his hand boredly, with ink splattered on his face, adding a touch of humor.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Xiao Xinning immediately dropped the wolf brush in his hand and ran over with excitement, "Sister-in-law, you are here. If you don't come, I will be bored to death!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo gave her a funny look, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the ink off her face, then smiled and said, "I was unlucky enough not to see it, but I did see a little tabby cat."
Xiao Xinning didn't take it seriously this time and didn't argue with her. She just looked at Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm telling you, there is a big gossip here. If you don't come, I don't know who to talk to." Share it!”
God knows how uncomfortable it feels for her to have no one to tell her all the things she has been holding back.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, then followed her to the inner hall. After holding Mrs. Tang in his arms and sitting on the soft couch, he asked, "Tell me, what gossip can make you so excited?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinning immediately became interested and said with bright eyes, "This morning, the second emperor's brother and the second emperor's wife had a quarrel in the imperial study room. In the end, the two of them wanted to reconcile!"
Although Xie Ruzhuo had known that there would be such a result, he was still a little surprised when he heard it, "So soon?"
Xiao Xinning waved her hands and sighed, "Don't mention it. You don't even know how messed up my second emperor brother is. He walked all the way to the dark side and made the second emperor's wife so angry that she wanted to divorce him on the spot. That Shen Jingci is not a good person at first glance. , although she has always been there to persuade him, but the more she persuades him, the more angry the second emperor brother becomes! In addition, the virtuous concubine is also on the side, and the matter becomes more and more tense. "
Having said this, Xiao Xinning said sadly, "Father, my health has been getting worse and worse these days, and today I was coughing from time to time in the imperial study room. I felt heartbroken when I watched from the sidelines, but the second emperor brother and the concubine actually... I deliberately ignored this matter. My father's heart was like a clear mirror, and he could see the truth. The Qin family insisted on reconciling, so my father didn't want to care about their nonsense, so he simply agreed."
Xiao Xinning said a few words, and Xie Ruzhuo could also imagine the scene at that time. He was afraid that Qin Wanyi was heartbroken.
Otherwise, a woman would not do this no matter what. Divorce is no less harmful to a woman than divorce.
