Li Xiangjun stood up and gave her a blessing.

"Shen Fu, the Ai family has something to say about themselves. If you want to talk to Mr. Xiang, you should step aside first!"

The Queen Mother deliberately pushed Shen Fu away. Shen Fu also understood that she was a little redundant, so she turned and left.

After Shen Fu left, the Queen Mother took Li Xiangjun and chatted about household matters.

"How is it? How does Shen Fu treat you?"

"Empress Dowager, please rest assured that His Highness the Prince has nothing wrong with me. It's just that he has never tolerated me in his heart."

After Li Xiangjun finished speaking, he lowered his eyes to hide his dissatisfaction.

The Queen Mother frowned deeply when she heard this.

She looked at Li Xiangjun and said seriously.

"Xiangjun, stay in the Duke's Mansion. The Ai family knows that you have resentment towards the county master, but after all these years, there is still no movement in the county master's stomach. If you are pregnant at this time, your status will be reduced. It’s extraordinary.”

Li Xiangjun's eyes lit up when he heard the Queen Mother talking about this matter.

"Xiang Jun understands, but it's a pity that His Highness didn't look at Xiang Jun directly last night."

"You don't have to worry about this, just wait patiently."

The Queen Mother patted her shoulder.

"Xiangjun, from now on, just stay on your own terms and be your concubine."

"Xiang Jun respectfully follows the Queen Mother's teachings."

"Well, okay, you go back first, the Yi family wants to see the emperor."

"Yes."

After coming out of Taiji Hall, Li Xiangjun and Shen Fu rode in a carriage, preparing to return to the Duke's mansion.

"Your Highness, can you go back to Broken Yuxuan tonight?"

"No, there is still a case waiting for me to investigate at Dali Temple!"

"But His Highness is newly married and busy with official duties. Mr. Xiang is really reluctant to leave."

Li Xiangjun said sadly, his eyes were red and he seemed ready to cry at any time.

"Everything is for the people, I think you will understand."

Shen Fu comforted her.

The carriage stopped, and Li Xiangjun reluctantly lifted the curtain.

"Slow down, Your Highness!"

"Ok!"

Shen Fu responded, got out of the car and walked until he disappeared from sight.

On the other side, Jiang Wu took Cuizhu with some ointment and came to Du Shiniang's room.

"It's really you!"

Jiang Wu stepped forward to check her injuries, but Du Shiniang looked wary.

"You should be very proud now, right?"

Du Shiniang sneered again and again.

She wanted to marry Shen Fu wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that she would become Shen Ruzhi's concubine by accident. For her, this was a huge humiliation and blow!

"Why should I be proud?"

Jiang Wu was puzzled because Du Shiniang was so prejudiced against her.

"Oh, I heard that His Highness married a concubine?"

Du Shiniang was in the house and also heard the gossip of the servants.

It's a pity that she is not as lucky as that woman. Marrying the greasy and lustful Shen Ruzhi makes life worse than death!

"Well, that concubine is the adopted daughter who grew up beside the Queen Mother, and is also the daughter of General Li, Li Xiangjun."

Jiang Wu spoke eloquently, knowing that Du Shiniang was very concerned about the origin of this woman.

"You are injured, let me apply some ointment on you."

Jiang Wu slowly approached and saw that she was not so resistant anymore.

He dipped the handkerchief in the ointment and gently applied it on her arm.

"It hurts."

Du Shiniang took a breath of cold air.

Seeing that she was in unbearable pain, Jiang Wu immediately speeded up to help her relieve the pain from the wound.

"Okay, you rest for a while."

"Wait a moment!"

Du Shiniang called out to Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu slowly turned her head and looked at her in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

Du Shiniang has always had a clear distinction between love and hate. She always remembers whoever treats her well, but this does not mean that the grudge between her and Jiang Wu has been wiped out.

Thinking that I was so stupid and focused on clinging to the dragon and the phoenix, but ended up like this, maybe I deserved it.

"You're welcome. We are all women. I understand. If you want to leave the Duke's Mansion, I can help you."

Jiang Wu knew that Shen Ruzhi must have used some shady means to trick Du Shiniang into the house.

Seeing Du Shiniang's unwillingness, who would be willing to stay humble next to Shen Ruzhi?
"No need, this is my destiny!"

Du Shiniang sighed, she had already accepted her fate.

There is nothing wrong with this side wife. At least, Shen Ruzhi treats her quite well. Although she is not the main wife, she is still much better than the concubine!
Seeing how stubborn she was, Jiang Wu had no choice but to give up.

"Well, no matter what, you have to protect yourself more. If you need me anywhere, just tell me!"

"it is good!"

The two women looked at each other, each showing a bitter smile.

The next day.

Shen Ruzhi returned from court early and went straight to the courtyard where Du Shiniang lived.

Du Shiniang was waiting outside the yard early in the morning.

When she saw Shen Ruzhi coming, she bowed down Yingying.

"Are you feeling better?"

Shen Ruzhi's mind was filled with Du Shiniang's voice and smile.

Even when going to the morning court, what came to mind was Du Shiniang's smiling face.

"Everything is fine with me, sir, please don't worry."

"That's good, that's good!"

Shen Ruzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have something to ask my father-in-law!"

"Well, say it!"

Shen Ruzhi sat at the stone table and gestured to her.

"Do you know, sir, that our government is currently looking for someone to partner with us to open a gambling den?"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

When Shen Ruzhi heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Has your Duke's mansion been looking for a suitable village owner?"

"not yet."

Du Shiniang shook her head.

"If you find me, please help me."

Du Shiniang said pitifully.

She was originally a delicate and delicate beauty, but her appearance at this time was even more unbearable to refuse.

This matter reached Wang Miaoyan's ears, and her face turned pale.

"This Du Shiniang, I don't know what she is holding back."

Wang Miaoyan said angrily that Shen Ruzhi has not visited him since Du Shiniang entered the mansion. She is the princess's wife!

"Madam, don't be impatient, be careful of the phoenix body."

"Oh, when I look at the Duke's Mansion, I don't have any basis for establishing myself."

Wang Miaoyan said a little sourly.

Du Juan shook his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

She felt that it was not as pessimistic as Wang Miaoyan thought.

After all, Wang Miaoyan also has a daughter.

"As long as Du Shiniang cannot get pregnant, it will be useless even if the Duke of Guo favors her."

Du Juan had already made people stare at Du Shiniang's little stove, and added a little safflower and musk to her meals. If these things are used for a long time, it will be difficult to get pregnant.

Wang Miaoyan appreciates Du Juan's thunderous skills, which can help her eliminate dissidents and better consolidate his position in the Duke's palace.

"You did very well!"

"Thank you, madam. This is what a slave should do."

Du Juan lowered her head, and Wang Miaoyan took out a peach blossom hairpin from the jewelry box and gave it to Du Juan. Du Juan was grateful and accepted the hairpin.
