Chapter 387 Like? Stop wishful thinking
The mansion was emptied out in an instant by Chen Shuhua. The old lady and others were very angry. After they left, they wanted to call Yao Qingnian over to let them vent their anger, but Yao Qingnian didn't take her and Shen Wenting seriously at all. They kept complaining about all the bad things about Chen Shuhua, trying to use this to warn her so that she would know that she and the Shen family are one. But she left halfway through, making an excuse that she had something to do. Shen Wenting couldn't bear to see her like this, and shouted that he wanted to punish her according to the family rules.
After Shen Youran met Prince Rui for tea last time, she had been waiting at home for news that Prince Rui would invite her out again. However, after waiting for several days, there was no follow-up. She couldn't help but get anxious, wondering if it was because of the divorce of Shen Wenting and Chen Shuhua that Prince Rui had a bad impression of her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hate Chen Shuhua. Not only did she not love her, but she also made things difficult for her at the critical moment. If she became the Princess of Rui in the future, she would have to deal with them mother and daughter!
If Prince Rui didn't come to see her, then she would take the initiative. So she took out her little savings with a painful heart and asked someone to inquire about Prince Rui's schedule. After hearing that he would attend the poetry meeting at Jumoxuan today, she dressed up carefully and prepared to meet him by chance.
Not long after she left the mansion, her carriage was stopped by someone. The driver couldn't help but scold: "Where did you come from, you little brat? You have no eyes."
The person in front of the carriage was Pei Zong Zheng, whom he had not seen for many days. He had passed a lot of messages to Shen Youran these days, but he could not get any response from her. He was anxious and waited for her at the door of Shen's house. After waiting for several days, he finally saw her. So he ignored the danger and stepped forward to stop her carriage.
"You Ran, it's me! Why have you ignored me these days!" Pei Zong was shouting outside the carriage. In order not to attract anyone's attention, Shen Youran had no choice but to lift the curtain.
"Brother Zong Zheng, it's you! I was just about to look for you! This is not the place to talk, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." When Shen Youran saw him, he thought of the fact that his innocence was ruined in his hands. His disgust deepened, but he remained calm and found a place to sit down and have a good talk with him. This matter would have to be faced sooner or later.
"You Ran, I've sent you many letters these days, but you ignored me."
"I'm not ignoring you, it's just that a lot of things have been happening in the mansion recently. You should have heard that after my father was demoted, my mother became dissatisfied. Coupled with the misunderstanding about her best friend's widow, she wanted to divorce my father. I was in a bad mood, so I didn't have the mind to worry about anything else." Shen Youran said, picking up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"So that's how it is. I thought you were angry because of what I did with your sister, so you ignored me." Pei Zongzheng's tense expression finally relaxed. He had heard about the things in the Shen Mansion. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Madam Shen was just making a fuss. She was a woman, and she would be ridiculed if she divorced!
A few days ago, he was still shouting that he was not worthy of her daughter and even made his mother kneel down and apologize in public. Now, he has ended up like this.
Mrs. Pei was so happy after hearing this. She had been gloating for a long time, and now she divorced her husband. How could she not be so happy? Now she was no different from a widow like herself. No, she was even more miserable than her.
At first, she was showing off how good Shen Wenting was to her, which made many people envious. But it turned out that it was all fake. Haha, he not only had a mistress, but he also had a son. Her son was stupid, so the Shen Mansion could only be handed over to the mistress's son. In the end, she had nothing, she deserved it!
"How could that be? By the way, I haven't had the chance to ask you, what happened that day? Why didn't things go according to our plan?" It seems that Pei Zong Zheng didn't know that it was her that day. She had thought that he had drugged her, but it seems that is not the case.
"I don't know either. I just remember that after we drank the wedding wine, I went into the house and saw Shen Nianran lying on the bed. I acted according to the plan, but when I woke up, the boat had drifted to the middle of the lake for some reason. I stayed in the lake for the whole night, and the next day I met a fisherman who was fishing, and then I went ashore. After I went ashore, I immediately came to look for you, but I couldn't find you, and you refused to come out to see me."
"How could that be? I saw you enter the guest room on the boat with my own eyes and then leave. I was feeling a little unwell at the time, so I sat on the shore for a while. Unexpectedly, I fell into the water accidentally. Fortunately, someone found me and rescued me. When I rushed to the place where the boat was moored, the boat was gone. I thought the truth was revealed and you had already returned home." Shen Youran said according to the excuse she had prepared long ago.
"You fell into the water, are you hurt?" Pei Zongzheng asked with concern when he heard that she fell into the water.
"No! I was just very worried about you and my sister. When I went back, I didn't see my sister. I waited at home for a long time before I saw her come back as if nothing had happened." After she was sent back by King Rui that day, she thought that bitch had already returned, but she didn't expect that she would be back later than her. It was impossible to say that there was no problem.
"As if nothing happened? Impossible. Although I was a little tired and fell asleep, the feeling of sex was very strong. That kind of thing must have happened between her and me." Pei Zongzheng was very sure that he would not make a mistake about that kind of thing. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't remember what happened that day.
"So what are you going to do now?" She drugged Pei Zongzheng at that time just to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
"It's a pity that such a good opportunity was not revealed in public last time, otherwise it would have been done long ago. But it doesn't matter, she is no longer innocent. I will find another opportunity to publicize it. Not to mention if it is true, I can make her say it is fake." Pei Zongzheng said regretfully. The plan was so good, but he didn't expect her to run away.
"Will anyone believe this?" Shen Youran asked after thinking for a moment.
"It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not. What matters is whether your father and grandmother believe it or not. This concerns the reputation of the Shen family, and she won't be able to disagree at that time." Pei Zongzheng looked excited.
"Yeah." She nodded. Yes, how could she have forgotten about this? Now that her father and Chen Shuhua were divorced, the marriage would naturally be decided by her father and grandmother. If something went wrong, at this critical juncture, in order to calm things down, they would definitely marry the person to the Earl's Mansion. She had a relationship with Prince Rui, and even if he didn't, Shen Wenting would definitely not be stupid enough to marry her there. The Earl's Mansion was now in such a state of decline that it would not help his future at all. Shen Wenting, who valued his future so much, would definitely find a marriage that would be beneficial to him.
"You Ran, don't worry, I only like you, and I will marry you soon." Recalling that day on the boat when his heart and eyes were filled with her, he wanted to go forward and hold Shen Youran's hand, but she dodged him.
"Brother Zongzheng, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." She stood up and said goodbye, not wanting to stay any longer. Then she cursed in her heart with disgust: "Like him? Don't be so wishful thinking. A narcissistic, arrogant and incompetent man like him is not worthy of him at all."
