After New Year's Eve, Chen Qing Jin was grounded by Marquis Qingchuan, Chen Che, in the rear courtyard of the Marquis fu to reflect on his mistakes. But this did not prevent the nobles in the capital from continuing to talk behind Chen Qing Jin's back. Everyone was idle all day and now that there was such good material delivered to their doorstep, it was enough for those idle gongzi and noble ladies to make up nine times nine 81 different versions of Chen Qing Jin's memoirs … …
Regarding Chen Qing Jin's matter, Su Wan no longer cared about it. Right now, Marquis Jingning fu was preparing for Su Wan and Su Rui's marriage. The entire Marquis fu was a bustling scene.
After the Lantern Festival, the news that Marquis Jingning fu wanted to unite by marriage with Jin Qinwang fu finally slowly spread in the Capital. Once this news came out, it immediately replaced Chen Qing Jin's scandal and became the hottest topic in the Capital this year.
The officials and common people of the Imperial Capital all knew that the always weak Jin Qinwang, Qin Mu Yan, had never been close to women, but why did he take a fancy to Marquis Jingning fu's Young Miss Su?
It was rumored in the streets that Ninth Wangye and Young Miss Su were fated because of a White Tiger King. The two of them felt like old friends at first sight and regretted not meeting earlier. Young Miss Su's natural (mei mei), lively (mei mei fei fei) personality also made Ninth Wangye, who had been lonely for more than twenty years, feel moved. Moreover, everyone knew that these past few years, Young Miss Su had been bitterly and infatuated with General Shen. It was a pity that the Goddess had a heart, but Xiang Wangye had no dreams. Although the two of them also had an engagement, regarding Su Wan's one-sided efforts, Shen Yu Shu had never directly given her any response.
In this way, compared to the Ninth Wangye who treated people with kindness and gentleness, it was reasonable for Su Wan to fall in love with someone else.
When Shen Yu Shu found out that Su Wan was going to marry Qin Mu Yan, he was leading the Black Tiger Army's soldiers in the training grounds of the capital. The one who told Shen Yu Shu the news was the general in the army.
Su Wan was getting married?
When Shen Yu Shu heard this news, he was stunned for a moment. His hands unconsciously loosened and the weapon in his hand immediately fell to the ground, sending up countless dust.
"General?"
The general at the side looked at his general hesitantly, regretting that he had spoken too quickly.
"I'm fine."
Shen Yu Shu came back to his senses and straightened his face, "You guys go ahead and train first, I … will go out for a bit!"
There were some matters that Shen Yu Shu should have gone to find Su Wan and explained it clearly to her face. It's just that he was too busy training his troops these days and … … .at the bottom of his heart, he was subconsciously unwilling to go and confront Su Wan.
Regarding "that matter", regardless of whether what Su Wan said was true or false, it would still make Shen Yu Shu feel uncomfortable.
After many days, he once again arrived at the entrance of Marquis Jingning fu. Shen Yu Shu looked at the busy servants hanging red silk at the entrance and his gaze slightly congealed.
The bright red satin was glaring and dazzling.
In the past, as long as Shen Yu Shu came to Marquis Jingning fu, he would be unimpeded. But today, he was stopped at the door waiting for the steward's announcement.
When Shen Yu Shu finally saw Su Wan, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
The weather in the first month was still chilly. Su Wan was wrapped in a snow-white fur cloak and in her hand was the green plum blossom that she had just picked from the backyard.
"Young Master Shen, what brings you here?"
Walking into the hall, Su Wan's body still carried the cold air that had yet to disperse. She stamped her feet and raised her hand to hand over the green plum blossom in her hand to the servant girl in the hall.
Seeing Su Wan calmly sit on a wooden chair at the side, Shen Yu Shu calmly looked at her: "I heard that you are getting married and specially came ….. to congratulate you."
"Thank you."
Su Wan faintly smiled at Shen Yu Shu: "Are you still going to drink Da Hong Pao today? I'll call someone to brew it for you. "
"No, no need."
Shen Yu Shu waved his hand at Su Wan, his gaze gradually becoming deep: "Actually, I still have a matter that I want to make clear to you this time."
Speaking to here, Shen Yu Shu's expression was slightly hesitant. He suddenly didn't know what to say —
If those rumors were true, how should he face his own younger sister in the future?
And if those rumors were all fabricated by Su Wan, then what kind of mood should he use to face Su Wan?
Seeing Shen Yu Shu sitting there as if in a dilemma, Su Wan couldn't help but take the initiative to speak: "It's because of Chen Qing Jin's matter, right?"
Hearing Su Wan take the initiative to speak, Shen Yu Shu stared blankly and subconsciously raised his eyes. A pair of pitch-black pupils tightly stared at Su Wan's face.
Under Shen Yu Shu's attentive gaze, Su Wan still had an indifferent expression: "Regardless of whether you believe it or not, every word that I said in the Inner Palace that day is true. If you don't believe it, you can investigate it yourself. Of course, with our current relationship, no, it should be said that I have always been unimportant in your heart. So, you can choose not to believe me. I also won't blame you. After all ….. it's all in the past. Some things have already passed and there's not much meaning in looking into it. "
Hearing Su Wan say this, Shen Yu Shu didn't say anything. He just quietly looked at Su Wan's eyes, as if wanting to see through her with a glance: "You broke off the engagement with me at that time, was it because of Qing Jin? Or was it because of ….. Jin Qinwang? "
No proud man was willing to admit that he was the one who was abandoned. Shen Yu Shu was no exception.
"Is there still any meaning in saying this now?"
Su Wan lowered her eyes and somewhat irritably tightened the cloak on her body. She was no longer willing to look at Shen Yu Shu face to face.
She didn't admit it, nor did she deny it.
This made Shen Yu Shu's mood very vexed.
However …..
What else was there to be vexed about? He and she had long become strangers who had no relationship with each other.
Walking out of Marquis Jingning fu, Shen Yu Shu glanced back at the gilded plaque of the Marquis fu under the sunlight.
In this lifetime, he would probably never take half a step into this place again!
Smiling somewhat self-deprecatingly, Shen Yu Shu was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes. That was …..
"Eldest Young Master."
Wen Yu stood in the small alley outside the walls of Marquis Jingning fu, quietly looking at Shen Yu Shu who was not far away.
This word "Eldest Young Master" made Shen Yu Shu's gaze congeal. He quickly walked to the entrance of the alley and coldly looked at the woman in front of him: "Yu Ru?"
Right now, the woman in front of him was much thinner and more haggard than the Yu Ru in Shen Yu Shu's memory.
"Eldest Young Master, this servant is now called Wen Yu, Eldest Young Miss Su's personal maid."
Wen Yu lightly saluted Chen Yu Shu and informed him of her current identity.
"You said that you're Su Wan's ….. what's going on?"
Shen Yu Shu's thoughts were already disrupted by Wen Yu's words: "Qing Jin said that you were beaten to death by Chen Mian, how could you ….."
"This servant indeed almost lost her life. It was Young Miss Su who saved this servant and gave this servant a new life."
Speaking up to here, Wen Yu firmly bit her lips. She took a deep breath and suddenly knelt in front of Shen Yu Shu as if she had made up her mind: "Eldest Young Master, this servant deserves to die ten thousand times for her crimes! This servant is guilty! This servant has let down Young Miss Su, let down Eldest Young Master! "
"Yu Ru, you ….."
Shen Yu Shu's heart shook. Although he had already thought of a certain possibility, he didn't dare to be sure: "Could it be that ….. what Su Wan said was true? It really was Qing Jin, it was Qing Jin, she ….. "
"Yes!"
Wen Yu clenched her teeth and finally admitted this matter: "It was Young Miss Qing Jin who instigated this servant to frame Young Miss Su! That day's matter was all single-handedly arranged by Young Miss Qing Jin and this servant assisted from the side. "
This matter had already been suppressed in Wen Yu's heart for far too long and had already become a sore point that could not be removed. And now, she finally had the courage to say everything.
When Wen Yu told Shen Yu Shu the plan that day without missing a word, Shen Yu Shu's complexion was already extremely unsightly.
He didn't think that the little sister that he had always doted on would actually be malicious to this degree!
Now that he thought about it, Qing Jin seemed to have never liked Su Wan, but this could not become a reason for her to harm others.
It must be known that a woman's reputation and integrity in the Daqing Dynasty was something more important than her life. Not only did Qing Jin want to destroy Su Wan's reputation, she also wanted to push her to Chen Mian.
What kind of trash was Chen Mian?
Once he thought of how Su Wan was almost defiled by Chen Mian that day, Shen Yu Shu couldn't help but tightly clench his fists.
Seeing Shen Yu Shu's tightly clenched fists and the blood red in his eyes, Wen Yu once again hardened her heart. She slowly raised her head and looked at Shen Yu Shu with a serious face: "Eldest Young Master, do you know why Young Miss Su broke the engagement? Why was she willing to marry Jin Qinwang? "
"What else do you know? Tell me! "
Wen Yu's words made Shen Yu Shu recover from his anger. He knew that what Wen Yu was going to say next was perhaps what she truly wanted to tell him, and this answer, perhaps, was not what he wanted to know … …
Marquis Jingning fu, rear courtyard.
After sending off Shen Yu Shu, Su Wan brought Wen Yue back to her boudoir. Today, the Imperial Clothing Bureau had already brought the wedding dress over. This was the Wangfei's wedding dress that the Empress Dowager had decreed. The bright red wedding dress was made of the best and most expensive red snow satin. The edges were lined with golden threads and embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. On the chest area was a pair of lively mandarin ducks intertwined with each other and the hem of the skirt was inlaid with smooth and round pearls from the Eastern Sea. This wedding dress was priceless and was comparable to the Empress' phoenix gown!
"Young Miss, this wedding dress is too beautiful! The Empress Dowager and Wangye are really too good to you! "
Wen Yue saw the priceless wedding dress that was neatly arranged on the bed and her pair of eyes were emitting a golden light.
Su Wan slowly walked to the bedside and raised her hand to lightly touch this somewhat familiar wedding dress.
This wedding dress was indeed custom-made according to the Empress' specifications.
Not the Empress of the Daqing Dynasty, but ….. the Empress of the Daxia Dynasty.
Su Wan somewhat absent-mindedly remembered that in that world, she and Su Rui met for the first time and separated for the first time.
At that time, she was wearing this kind of wedding dress and in the end, disappeared from Su Rui's embrace.
It turns out, he still remembered.
It turns out, she also never forgot …..
The eighth day of the second month, an auspicious day, suitable for marriage.
In the center of the Imperial Capital, from Marquis Jingning fu to Jin Qinwang fu, the not too long street was occupied by a very long wedding procession. The sweet-sounding joyous music spread throughout the Imperial Capital along with the cool breeze. Both sides of the long street were already surrounded by the common people of the Imperial Capital who came to watch the excitement.
The guards of Jin Qinwang fu were all wearing the same wedding dress, and Su Rui, who rarely went out, was also wearing a crimson python robe today, with a golden crown on his head.
The people of the Imperial Capital only knew that Jin Qinwang was wise and farsighted. Very few people had seen the true appearance of this Qinwang who lived in the legends. Now that Su Rui was riding a Ferghana horse and wearing a solemn formal attire, appearing in front of everyone with a calm expression, it immediately caused a cry of surprise –
It turns out that our family's Wangye was actually so peerless in his generation!
The young girls of the Imperial Capital expressed that their hearts were about to break ~ If they knew that Wangye was this handsome, this servant would also be willing to give birth to a monkey for you ~
In fact, according to Daqing's ancestral system, when a Qinwang got married, the groom didn't need to personally welcome him. He only needed to send a wedding procession to carry the bride's carriage to the Wangfu's main entrance before the auspicious time.
But this time, Su Rui still insisted on personally going to Marquis Jingning fu to welcome him –
Not everyone had this kind of opportunity to complete different weddings with their beloved in different worlds.
