Chapter 71
The outside of the house suddenly became quiet, and Lin Jihan couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Could it be that she left?
Just when he couldn't help getting up to check, a powder blue figure walked in behind Ye Wei.

Shen Mengqi looked at the mess in the study and Lin Jihan who was a little tired, she stepped forward and said, "My lord, have you encountered any problems in government affairs?"

Looking at the Shen Mengqi who carefully walked around the scattered papers, she didn't dare to look at the same.Lin Jihan, who was originally happy because Shen Mengqi took the initiative to see her, suddenly became sad.

I didn't notice it before, but after a closer look, the distinction between her and myself is really clear.

"What are you here for?"

Hearing Lin Jihan's cold voice, Shen Mengqi was taken aback. He had never been so indifferent to her before.It must be because the government affairs are not going well. The affairs of the fifteenth day have been arranged, and it is not necessary to tell him. She should not bother him.

"It's nothing serious. I just came to see the prince. Since the prince has official business to do, I'll leave first."

"Ah."

Seeing Lin Jihan's indifference, Shen Mengqi felt as if her heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton.But she also knew that if she was here all the time, it would be even more annoying.

Shen Mengqi resisted the pain in her heart and saluted Lin Jihan slightly, then turned around and left gracefully.

Lin Jihan looked at Shen Mengqi who came and went in a hurry, and asked in disbelief, "Is she leaving just like that?"

"what?"

Looking at Lin Jihan's expression, Ye Wei whispered, "My lord, didn't you tell him to leave?"

"The king told her to leave and she left? Why don't you see her so obedient?"

Lin Ji gritted his teeth coldly and said, "After all, she still didn't consider me as her own."

Seeing the furious Lin Jihan, Ye Wei shrunk himself into a ball in an instant. He really wanted to shout to Lin Jihan loudly, if he has the ability to call his wife, what kind of a hero is he who shouts at him if he has nothing to do!
Here, Shen Mengqi saw Nanchen who was guarding the door as soon as she stepped into the courtyard of Juxing Pavilion. She adjusted her mood and walked towards Nanchen, "Are you all ready?"

Nan Chen nodded and said: "According to your order, I have already asked someone to notify the Minister of Justice to squat at the place provided by Xiu'er. Just in case, Nan Nan also arranged for our Xiaomeng Pavilion people to go far away. watching."

"That's good. This year's imperial examination is about to start. People from Xihuang must not be allowed to infiltrate the imperial court again."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are all watching."

Shen Mengqi nodded, she was always at ease in Nan Chen's work.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Mengqi still couldn't help but said: "By the way, when I go down, I will send a letter to the people in Xiaomeng Pavilion's Shadow Department, and ask them to find out if something serious has happened in Nine Nether Thirteen Commanderies."

"Yes."

Looking at Nanchen who refused to leave after receiving the order, Shen Mengqi tilted her head to look at him and said, "Is there anything else you need?"

After hesitating for a moment, Nanchen said: "Before you said that if Cheng Yili was innocent."

Looking at Nanchen who couldn't even utter the second half of the sentence, Shen Mengqi knew that he was tempted.

She turned to Nanchen and promised: "If you really like it, no matter whether Cheng Yili is innocent or not, I can be the one to protect Cheng Xingchen and promise her to you. Brother, don't worry."

The long-lost elder brother immediately made Nan Chen red-eyed, and he sighed heavily: "Okay."

Seeing Nanchen who walked away from Juxing Pavilion lightly, Shen Mengqi's heart couldn't help being filled with sourness again.Her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the somewhat decadent figure in the palace study.

What happened to him?

Looking back on the past few days, nothing major happened.

Shen Mengqi decided to give up after thinking about it and didn't come up with a reason. Forget it, let's wait for the reply from the film department. The most important thing right now is the [-]th day.

Perhaps it was because Lin Jihan was used to all kinds of major events, and she always felt uneasy when she didn't tell him about Shiwu.

But thinking about his current situation, she couldn't bear to bother him for no reason.I have to say that habit is a terrible thing.

At night, Lin Jihan sneaked in until the candles in the main room of Juxing Pavilion were extinguished for a long time.Looking at Shen Mengqi who wrapped herself into a ball and slept on the innermost side on the bed, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, "It's really heartless."

Lin Jihan, who hadn't come back for several days, couldn't help but crawled onto the couch. As soon as he lay down, Shen Mengqi rolled over as if she sensed his presence, her little head left the pillow, found a place in his arms, and lay on it. .

There was also a fu~fu snoring sound from his mouth.

Lin Jihan sighed, he put his arms around Shen Mengqi and said to himself: "For the sake of your initiative, I will reconcile with you for one night first."

Shen Mengqi seemed to have heard what he said, shaking her little head on his chest, and muttering to herself: "My lord~"

This slightly aggrieved prince made Lin Jihan's heart soften in an instant, "I really lost to you."

The two had a rare good night's dream. When Shen Mengqi woke up the next day and looked at Lin Jihan beside her, she still thought she was dreaming.

It wasn't until Lin Jihan pinched her face lightly and asked her if she had fallen asleep that she realized it was not a dream.

Shen Mengqi looked at Lin Jihan whose expression had obviously eased up a lot and asked, "My lord, is your matter completely settled?"

Her words made Lin Jihan, who had managed to coax him last night, feel uncomfortable again in an instant. He put on his shoes and said indifferently: "No, it's getting late, I'm going to court."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jihan didn't wait for Shen Mengqi's reaction, and walked out directly with his coat, without any intention of waiting for Shen Mengqi.

After Shen Mengqi got dressed and went out, she didn't see Lin Jihan, only Ye Wei stood aside and waited for her.

On the way to court, Shen Mengqi couldn't help asking: "Ye Wei, has your prince encountered any troublesome things recently?"

Ye Weidao: "No."

Their lord did not encounter difficult things, but encountered difficult people.

"Then why do you feel that your prince's mood is not right recently?"

Ye Wei looked at Shen Mengqi with a thankful expression that you finally found out: "Ma'am, our lord has been in a very bad mood recently."

Shen Mengqi asked, "Do you know the reason?"

"The specific reason is small and I don't know."

Ye Wei laboriously thought about it and concluded: "But it seems to be related to the things you embroidered recently, because every time the little one said that Madam, you are embroidering something, the prince will lose his temper for a while."

Shen Mengqi was taken aback when she heard the words, and she asked, "Does he not like people embroidering things?"

Ye Wei said vaguely: "It should be."

Otherwise, why every time he told the prince that Shen Mengqi was embroidering, the prince would be furious?
"The princess knows."

Shen Mengqi's eyes couldn't hide her disappointment. It's a pity that she couldn't give away the knee pads she was most satisfied with after embroidering so many.

But if sending it out makes that person feel bored instead, then the gain outweighs the loss. She should be glad she didn't send it out, shouldn't she?
But why is there such pain in my heart.

Cheng Fu Nei

Today, as in the past, Mrs. Cheng is carefully changing Cheng Yili's clothes. Even though Mrs. Cheng has a reputation as a shrew in Beijing, she has never cheated on others in serving Cheng Yili since she got married.

This is also one of the reasons why their husband and wife have been able to love each other for many years and become a couple praised and envied by outsiders.

After Mrs. Cheng tidied up everything, Cheng Yili looked at his wife who had been in love with him for many years and said, "Madam, let's get married."

Mrs. Cheng thought she had heard it wrong, "What are you talking about? Cheng Yili, are you still asleep?"

This time, Cheng Yili didn't play haha ​​with a playful smile, but looked straight at Mrs. Cheng and said, "I said, let's get together and leave."

"Are you serious?"

Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Yili with a pale face and asked, "Why?"

Cheng Yili looked at Mrs. Cheng and said: "When we got married, you said that if I want to take a concubine, you will divorce me. Now that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Regent, do you think I will still be the only concubine?" Keeping you alone?"

In a moment of anger, Mrs. Cheng picked up the feather duster that was put aside and was about to greet Cheng Yili, "So you really sent your daughter to the Prince Regent's Palace with that in mind, how can you bear it!"

Cheng Yili took it for granted, "I let her grow up eating and drinking well, shouldn't she repay me?"

Seeing that the feather duster was about to fall on him, Cheng Yili did not intend to dodge at all, he sneered and said: "You broke up with the Chen family when you married me, are you sure you want to beat me now? Don't forget Yes, the stars still need my support."

"you!"

Mrs. Cheng's entire face flushed red with anger, but she still didn't let the feather duster in her hand fall on Cheng Yili's body.Because, Cheng Yili was right, Xing Chen is the only one she can rely on now.

"My wife is not very reasonable."

Cheng Yili took out the written divorce letter from the side and handed it to Mrs. Cheng, "This is the letter of divorce, so anyone who knows acquaintances should obediently sign it. For the sake of our husband and wife for so many years, the land property shop in my hometown in Liyang is It's all for you."

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Yili who was determined to win, and she asked: "So, who is the concubine you want to take in?"

"I have been married for so many years and I know your temperament. You will not give up until you see someone. I have already brought her into the mansion a few days ago. Cui Zhu will go and bring Miss Peony in."

Madam Cheng turned behind her in disbelief, "You also know about this?"

Cui Zhu lowered her head and said: "Yes."

At this time Cheng Yili stepped forward and put his arms around Cui Zhu's waist and said, "She knows more than that, when I divorce you, she will be my new wife."

"You! You!"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she trembled all over. No wonder people said that it is difficult to defend against house thieves by day and night. She never expected that Cheng Yili would have such a relationship with the big housekeeper whom she personally selected.

Cuizhu looked at Mrs. Cheng who was about to faint from anger, and said: "Which man in this world doesn't want to marry a gentle and virtuous woman, Madam, you have been using knives and wielding knives all day without caring about your family, and you are useless except to change clothes and cook for the master It's really not suitable to be the hostess of Cheng Mansion, but rather suitable to be a bodyguard."

Madam Cheng was heartbroken, she looked at Cheng Yili and said, "Do you miss me too?"

Cheng Yili's eyes trembled slightly, he couldn't bear to watch Madam Cheng was about to answer when Mudan walked in slowly from the door, "Master, did you drive that yellow-faced woman away after all, Mudan is tired of waiting .”

Madam Cheng turned her head and saw that the person who came was Peony, who was the number one in the brothel before, and who fascinated all the men in the capital.

"Hehe, now I am an outsider in this mansion. Your concubine is really fair and beautiful, just like the bright moon, I am really incomparable."

Madam Cheng gritted her teeth and didn't make herself cry. She pulled He Lishu from Cheng Yili's hand and signed her name eloquently, "In this case, I will do as you wish, and Cheng Yili will never see you again from now on. gone."

Cheng Yili took the Heli book, and he took out the real estate title deed that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Cheng, "You can take these Liyang real estate title deeds with you, after all, you can't go back to the Chen Mansion. Yes, a woman must have some capital to settle down."

"Forget about these, I think it's dirty, you'd better take the little wives who raised you."

Looking at Cheng Yili, who was hugging left and right, Mrs. Cheng said: "It's been hard for you and me to act like this all these years. In the future, I wish you a happy family with wives and concubines and a house full of children."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cheng didn't miss her anymore, she didn't take anything, and just left alone.

When Mrs. Cheng could no longer be seen, Cheng Yili couldn't hold it anymore, he pushed away the peony and green bamboo, hugged the copy of He Lishu and cried like a child.

Mudan shook her head and said, "If I knew today, why bother?"

Cheng Yili wiped away his tears, and said in a sad voice, "Yeah, it's all caused by a sip of wine. But I finally saved their mother and daughter, and I will die in peace."

Looking at Cheng Yili, who was over half a hundred years old, Mudan still couldn't help asking: "You know that the Minister of the Household Department set up a dead end for you, why did you jump into it?"

Cheng Yili looked at Mudan and said, "Only in this way can we fight for a way out for the two of them."

Mudan didn't understand, "What's the use of that? When people die, they lose everything, and their life is meaningless to you."

Cheng Yili kept Li Shu and Li Shu close to him, and he said to the indifferent Mudan: "When you have someone you like in this world and something worth remembering, you will understand the meaning of it."

Cheng Yili took out a silver ticket and handed it to Cuizhu, saying: "Thanks for your hard work, you performed a play with me, and you can go when the song ends."

Cui Zhu shook her head and said: "Master and Madam saved Cui Zhu's life, Cui Zhu is not going anywhere, she is here to guard the house for Master and Madam."

"My wife is gone, so why talk about a family?" Cheng Yili said with a wry smile, "You are still young, you shouldn't be stuck here waiting to die, let's go."

After sending the green bamboo away, Cheng Yili dismissed all the servants in the mansion, leaving only him and Mudan in the courtyard.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Cheng Yili had a relaxed expression on his face, "I've already done all the personal things that need to be done, and it's time for us to get on the road."
