Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 426 Shura Field

"Husband, why are you here? I sent someone to look for you. Did you see him?" Shen Zhiyi asked

"Yes, of course I saw him. Otherwise why would I come here? Tell me, what's the matter with you? Why did you ask me to go to Jiang's house?" Cao Cheng asked

"Ah? What's the big deal? Anyway, your relationship with Jiang Xuehui has already been decided. My second brother is going this time, so how can you not go?" Shen Zhiyi said

"Of course I know, but why did you tell me? Shouldn't the Jiang family send me the invitation themselves? Why you?" Cao Cheng asked

"Ah? Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird today?" Shen Zhiyi asked

"I blame? Yes, I blame. I shouldn't have come today. Don't you want me to see Jiang Xuehui? Okay, I'll go now. Are you satisfied?" Cao Cheng said and was about to leave.

"Husband, wait a minute, wait a minute, what happened to you? Can you please tell me? I, I really don't know, have you forgotten what you promised me before?" Shen Zhiyi said anxiously
"You, well, you want to know, right? Then let me tell you, do you really want me to meet Jiang Xuehui? Do you know who she is? Don't you know that she is here to steal your man?" Cao Cheng said
"I, I know." At this time, Shen Zhiyi seemed to know why her husband was angry.

"You knew that, but you still let me go? What are you thinking? Tell me, what are you thinking? What am I to you?" Cao Cheng questioned.
"You, don't be angry, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I, I shouldn't have let anyone look for you, I, I didn't think so much, I swear, I really didn't think so much."

"I was just thinking that my second brother was going to meet that woman. If the news got out, you would lose all your face. That's why I did that, that's why I did that?" Shen Zhiyi said a little aggrievedly.
"You, you, what can I say about you? Madam, you know that I only have you in my heart. Other women are dispensable to me."

"You are actually going to push me out now? Do you know how angry and sad I was on this journey?" Cao Cheng continued.
"Oh, don't be angry. I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again. I will definitely discuss everything with you first in the future. Please don't be angry, okay?" Shen Zhiyi said coquettishly.

"You, I really can't do anything to you, okay, I'm going back first." Cao Cheng said
"Wait, husband, then, are you going to the Jiang family or not? I have already promised Ningning, if you don't go, I will lose face." Shen Zhiyi said

"You, Jiang Xuening, Jiang Xuening, why is she everywhere? I tell you, if she wasn't a woman, I would have killed her!" Cao Cheng said angrily.
"Hey, husband, don't be angry. Just go, okay?" Shen Zhiyi said

"You, you let go first, I'll go, isn't it okay? But I tell you, this is the last time, if you do it again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" Cao Cheng said helplessly.

"Well, I know that my husband treats me the best. By the way, my husband, it's noon now, let's have a meal together. What do you like to eat? I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it." Shen Zhiyi said

"Anything is fine. As long as you like it, I can do it." Cao Cheng said with a smile

After Shen Zhiyi heard this, a brilliant smile appeared on her face, and then she went to tell the maid to notify the imperial kitchen. Both of them were very happy with this meal.

In the end, Cao Cheng left with great satisfaction, but the smile on Shen Zhiyi's face never disappeared, and it even grew bigger.

She realized it later and now she realized that her husband was jealous. She found it funny and touched at the same time.

At this time, Cao Cheng was also in a very good mood. He was not worried at all about what kind of situation he would face when he went to the Jiang family.

As a winner, what does he have to worry about? Even if he has to worry, it should be Shen Jie.

The Jiang family's invitation arrived the day after he returned. Cao Cheng made immediate preparations and planned to attend the appointment on time that day.

At the same time, Shen Jie was not in such a good mood. When he learned that Jiang Xuehui agreed to meet him, he was very excited and thought a lot in his mind.

But when he heard that Cao Cheng would also go, his good mood disappeared, because he vaguely felt that the development of things seemed to be different from what he expected.

However, things had come to this point and he had no way out, so he could only make preparations with trepidation and go to the Jiang family on time when Dang was too difficult.

The most nervous person at this moment would naturally be Jiang Boyou. After all, he could guess what the scene would be like without even thinking about it.

But it was useless for him to know this, he had to meet her, otherwise his daughter would definitely be sentenced to death, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

Time passed slowly, and soon the day arrived. Jiang Boyu was there preparing early in the morning, and Mrs. Jiang beside him was also very nervous.

The first one to arrive was naturally Cao Cheng. After all, although he was the winner, his status was lower, so naturally he arrived first.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Jiang Boyou came to greet him first, but now they only exchanged a few simple greetings, and then Cao Cheng entered the mansion.

Not long after he entered, King Linzi arrived. Jiang Boyou exchanged greetings as usual, then introduced himself into the mansion and finally sat down in the front hall.

This was also the first time Cao Cheng and Shen Jie met after the news was confirmed. After the two met, Cao Cheng saluted Shen Jie according to the rules, and Shen Jie did not make things difficult for him. Everything seemed normal.

But the three people present knew that the more normal it was, the more abnormal it became, and now this was just the calm before the storm.

"Minister Jiang, I have something I want to talk to Marquis Dingyuan about alone. I wonder if you can make it convenient for me?" Shen Jie couldn't help but ask first.

In fact, Jiang Boyou had been waiting for this sentence, so he agreed readily, then stood up and apologized, and then left the front hall.

After leaving the front hall, he did not go far, but drove away all the servants and watched there himself.

"I just ask you, can you take a step back? I will talk to the Queen Mother." Shen Jie asked directly

"Brother, you are kidding me, right? If you could really convince the Queen Mother, would we still be meeting today? Stop struggling, just give up." Cao Cheng said
"Give up? You want me to give up? How can I give up? Why should I give up? I tell you, I will never agree to your Xue family's evil plan!" Shen Jie said angrily. "What about the Xue family? That's your business to consider, Your Highness Prince Linzi. You don't need to tell me. You can do whatever you want." Cao Cheng said
"You, Cao Cheng, do you think I will believe you if you say that?" Shen Jie said
"Your Highness, you seem to have misunderstood. Do you think I still need this given our current relationship? No matter what I say, the relationship between you and me will never improve, right?"

"Do you think I would do such thankless tasks? I can only say that Your Highness, you are overthinking it. You can do whatever you want to do yourself."

"There's no need to involve me at all. I've done the best I can, but the result is still the same, so this is my limit."

"If you think you can change all this, then you can do it. I won't stop you at all. But I don't think you can do it." Cao Cheng said
After hearing this, Shen Jie was suddenly at a loss, because he had to admit that Cao Cheng was right. That was why he didn't say a word.

He thought that if he said that, it would be equivalent to agreeing with Cao Cheng, which was absolutely impossible.

"Hmph, there is nothing more to talk about between you and me now. I'm going to go see Miss Jiang." Shen Jie said
"Wait, Your Majesty, you can go and see him, but let me tell you something. There are some things you can do and some things you can't do. I think you should know that, right?" Cao Cheng said with a hint of meaning.

"You, don't worry, I am not you, I won't do those messy things." Shen Jie said
Shen Jie got up and left. Not long after he came out, he met Jiang Boyou. Shen Jie did not hide anything and directly stated his request.

"Your Majesty, you can see my daughter if you want, but only in the pavilion." Jiang Boyou said seriously.
After hearing this, Shen Jie was stunned at first, then nodded with a grim expression. His grim expression was not because he had any ulterior motives in his mind.

It was entirely because of the distrust of one or two people in him, Xianshi Cao Cheng, and then Jiang Boyu. They seemed to have determined what he would do.

But Jiang Boyou didn't care about that. He took Shen Jie directly to a pavilion, where Jiang Xuehui was already waiting.

Jiang Boyou nodded at Jiang Xuehui and left. At this time, Shen Jie had no idea where to start, after all, this was only the second time they met.

"Miss Jiang, I never thought that we would meet again under such circumstances. To be honest, I am the one who let you down. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have done that." Shen Jie said
"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. Everything is determined by fate. It's not up to us. It's all destined. So you have nothing to apologize for." Jiang Xuehui said directly

"Miss Jiang, don't worry, just wait for me for a few more days. I will definitely be able to change the situation. I will definitely be able to change the current situation." Shen Jie said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I beg you not to do anything else. Just leave it at that. Please don't do anything else." Jiang Xuehui bowed and said

"Miss Jiang, why are you doing this? Did someone threaten you? Is it Cao Cheng?" Shen Jie asked
"Your Highness, please don't make wild guesses. Cao Hou and I haven't met yet, so how can I threaten you? What I mean is that since nothing can be changed, let's not waste each other's time anymore."

"More importantly, Your Majesty, if you continue to pester me like this, then I'm afraid the only way waiting for me is death. I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on me." Jiang Xuehui bowed and said

After hearing this, Shen Jie wanted to speak immediately, but he didn't say anything in the end, because he knew very well that his mother might really do this.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you agree with what I said. If so, please go back. I would like to thank Your Majesty again." Jiang Xuehui said

After hearing this, Shen Jie certainly didn't want to leave, but he left anyway in the end because he sadly discovered that he really seemed unable to make a decision.

He couldn't decide who he could marry, nor could he guarantee whether his mother would issue an order, so at this moment, he had no confidence to say those words.

In the end, he could only leave feeling somewhat lonely. At this time, Cao Cheng and Jiang Boyou, who were waiting in the distance, nodded at the same time.

"Minister Jiang, I am sorry to bother you today. I will take my leave now." Shen Jie walked up to Jiang Boyou and said.

After he finished speaking, he ignored Cao Cheng and didn't wait for Jiang Boyou to reply. Instead, he walked straight to the gate. Jiang Boyou naturally couldn't let him leave alone.

So he followed him to the mansion gate, while Cao Cheng at this time walked towards the pavilion.

"Your performance just now was good, I am very satisfied, so, in the future in my mansion, I will also give you some positions, but you remember, you can not disobey the princess's orders!" Cao Cheng said directly
"Yes, Lord, I understand. Do you have any other instructions? If not, I will go back to my room first." Jiang Xuehui said politely.
"Haha, it seems that you still can't bear to let him go, but that's normal. After all, he is the man who is devoted to you, how could you bear to let him go? But it's useless, he can't make his own decision."

"Even if he reluctantly marries you this time, he won't be able to help you with what you'll face in the future, so I advise you not to think too much."

"After all, there are some things that you cannot decide. This is true for you and me. Okay, go back and think about what I said." Cao Cheng said
After hearing this, Jiang Xuehui said nothing, just bowed again and left.

Looking at her leaving back, Cao Cheng shook his head helplessly. If possible, he really didn't want this woman, or rather, he wanted her now.

After all, there are so many women in this world, why bother yourself with such a big trouble? But there is no way, just like he said just now, there are some things he can't decide.

"Minister Jiang, please don't stand there. Don't worry, I won't take today's incident to heart. After all, this was not what we wanted." Cao Cheng said and left.

Jiang Boyou naturally couldn't let him go alone. Finally, after seeing Cao Cheng off, Jiang Boyou finally put aside his worries temporarily and went to look for his daughter.

And when he arrived, he found his wife was already there.

"Master, you are back. How are things? Have you sent everyone away?" Madam Jing asked

"Don't worry, ma'am. Everyone has been sent away. We are safe for the time being." Jiang Boyou said

"Oh, that's good, that's good. By the way, Master, I have just asked Hui'er, and Prince Linzi has promised not to do anything." Madam Jiang said

"What? Really? Did the King of Linzi really agree?" Jiang Boyou asked in surprise.
