The lucky little wife dressed as a general

Chapter 91 "Torture"

Shen Xi entered Prince Jing's mansion with doubts in her heart, and she followed behind Mu Sichen step by step.

Observe the surrounding situation carefully.

After entering the hall, I realized that there were so many people here.

Men and women were all dressed up, and they all looked distinguished.

After entering the table, the two of them stood first, only to see a few people coming to talk to Mu Sichen from time to time.

The words were nothing more than asking him when he came back from the capital and glancing at Shen Xi next to him.

Then he walked away with a look that didn't mean it was an accident or something else.

After going back and forth for several rounds, Shen Xi heard that these people were either from this official or that official.

I did recognize a few new official titles.

After the surroundings are finally clear.

Shen Xi carefully pulled Mu Sichen's sleeve, turned her body in his direction, and leaned over to ask.

"What day is it today?"

Mu Sichen caught a glimpse of her holding his hand out of the corner of his eye, and moved it away unnaturally.

He said in a neutral tone:

"Just say whatever I ask you, and don't worry about anything else."

Shen Xi curled his lips, did he mean he was too lazy to tell her?
Then why bring her here?

After a while, Shen Xi got the answer to this question.

I saw a high-spirited middle-aged man sitting in the upper seat, followed by two little girls.

One of them looked slightly younger and was dressed quite grandly. He had a bun on his head, but there was no hairpin on it.

Looking at this posture, Shen Xi realized that this little girl was the protagonist of this banquet.

Could it be...a haircut ceremony?
Shen Xi looked around and thought that the prince's daughter really had an unusual status. There were so many people attending the ceremony.

While she was thinking here, she saw the older girl walking over quickly.

There was a trace of blush on the girl's face, but she was not shy, and her expression and behavior were very calm.

From a distance, Shen Xi initially thought she was tall, confident, and looked like a heroine.

After getting closer, Shen Xi realized that this girl was actually a head taller than her.

Zhou Shuying looked directly at Mu Sichen and said happily:
"General Mu, you are back from the capital."

This expression and demeanor seemed a bit familiar to Shen Xi.

Her eyes glanced back and forth between Zhou Shuying and Mu Sichen unconsciously.

I sighed deeply in my heart: Oh, this familiar Shura field.

Mu Sichen's attitude was not very enthusiastic and he simply said hello.

Facing Zhou Shuying's unabashed concern, she only responded with a lukewarm response, and the title was not very affectionate. She was only respectfully called the Princess of Deyang County.

This made Shen Xi strange. Didn't Xu Xiao say that Mu Sichen was going to marry this person? It doesn't look like that at all.

However, something even stranger happened the next second.

Shen Xi was in a state of confusion, not knowing what Zhou Shuying said, when Mu Sichen suddenly held her hand.

There was warmth in Mu Sichen's words, and even a bit of pampering that made Shen Xi take a breath.

"This is my wife."

Shen Xi was forced to look at Zhou Shuying, and unsurprisingly he received the hostility in the other person's eyes.

She suddenly understood that Mu Sichen not only didn't want to marry this man, but also wanted to use her as a shield.

But what puzzled Shen Xi was that since Mu Sichen didn't want to rely on marriage to stabilize his position, why did he change his face towards her?

Zhou Shuying lowered her eyes and looked at the petite woman in front of her. Not only was she thin, her face was only as big as her palm.

The eyes are not small, and they look watery.

It's quite different from the rumors.

She calmed down, how could she not understand what Mu Sichen meant by suddenly moving out his wife.

Zhou Shuying spoke, her tone not as intimate as before.

"Have you ever thought that the relationship between General Mu and his wife is quite good?"

Mu Sichen held Shen Xi's hand tightly and pulled her towards him.

Without blushing and heart beating, he said, "That's natural."

After hearing this, Zhou Shuying didn't react much and just said. : "Then I wish the general and his wife a happy marriage."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Shen Xi was led back by Mu Sichen and sat down. After sitting down, she was still confused.

Is this over?

She thought it would take three hundred rounds.

...

I don’t know if the customs here are different from those in the capital.

They actually had to sit on the ground, and there was only something like a mat spread on the ground, without even a soft cushion on it.

Shen Xi endured the discomfort and sat on it. She didn't know whether it was because her clothes were too thin or her skin was too delicate. Sitting like this, she felt like her butt was being tortured.

She kept her eyes peeled for oddities until a commotion in the hall caught her attention.

There were whispers among the crowd.

"Hey, isn't this King Guangling?"

"Yes, it's really him."

"Hasn't this person been living in seclusion for a long time and rarely shows up? Why is he willing to show up today?"

"It's not just for Prince Jing's sake."

"What do you know? He has been out of the world for so many years, and when has he seen other people's faces?"

Shen Xi followed everyone's gaze and his eyes suddenly lit up.

King Guangling!
There are also Xia Zhen and Xiao Wu.

They were dressed as maids and guards and stood behind Shen Duo.

The few people looked at each other tacitly, and Shen Xi quietly raised his hand and waved excitedly.

Moreover, after looking at her like this, she realized that Xiao Wu was very tall, and after cleaning up like this, he became much more energetic.

Mu Sichen naturally did not miss all this. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, looking at King Guangling with sharp eyebrows.

Until the other person takes a seat.

The banquet is in progress…

Toasts are mixed, you come and I go.

After a while, Mu Sichen drank several glasses of wine.

Although Shen Xi didn't drink, she felt like she was almost intoxicated by the smell of the wine.

That's what she thought.

It seems that this haircut ceremony is just a gimmick, nothing more than a reason to bring everyone here together.

They actually said some words that she didn't understand, and Shen Xi was happy and at ease, just quietly being an emotionless eating machine.

No wonder Mu Sichen said she didn't have to worry about it, right? It wasn't her turn to speak at all in this situation.

It seemed that she was overthinking.

Not long after eating, Shen Xi received the look from Xia Zhen opposite him.

She made some calculations and used the tried-and-tested urine escape method to successfully escape from the banquet.

...

As soon as Xia Zhen saw Shen Xi, she took her arm and looked at her carefully from top to bottom.

"What's going on? Why did your man suddenly take you away?"

Shen Xi sighed and told her what Mu Sichen suspected.

After hearing this, Xia Zhen felt that it was not that simple.

"If she suspects that you have something to do with Prince Guangling, she shouldn't take you back. Isn't this a time bomb next to her?"

Shen Xi said: "That's not true, but I can't think of any other reason. It can't be that he suddenly realized his conscience and didn't want to let me go."

After hearing this, Xia Zhen suddenly took a deep look at her.

"Then after you went back, your man didn't torture you. I don't think you were injured. It must be somewhere you can't see."

Shen Xi thought to himself: Tortured?Yes, yes, but it doesn't count if it's in bed.
