After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 119 No Qualification for Willfulness
After hearing Shen Ning's question, Si Yan was stunned. How could she know? Could it be that she was discovered?

Si Yan rarely showed any signs of panic, and said with an erratic look in his eyes: "No, no."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ning stood up, looked at him with a sharp gaze, and said word by word: "Lying, cheating me?"

The two of them have been together for such a long time, but Shen Ning still doesn't know him. She knows what he is thinking from every move he makes.

Si Yan sighed, looking helpless: "I'm not lying to you, I just don't want to upset you. There are indeed many gifts for women recently, but I didn't want any of them. I didn't even look at them."

Shen Ning sat back with lifeless eyes, looked Si Yan up and down, and said expressionlessly: "Man."

Although Si Yan didn't know what happened, he felt something was wrong. He quickly hugged Shen Ning to his lap and asked sincerely, "What happened?"

Shen Ning recounted the bad things that happened between Shen Jie and Lu Qiqi, and he himself sighed repeatedly as he spoke.

Si Yan found it incredible: "Then the marriage will be ruined."

Shen Ning looked as if he didn't need you to say that: "Of course, you know Qi Yue has a bad temper. I heard her scolding my brother from a distance away."

"But my brother really deserves it. Let's just break up."

After hearing this, Si Yan fell into deep thought. This matter was approved by the Queen Mother and was personally initiated. It might not be so easy to end it.

Things were exactly as Si Yan had thought. The marriage between Shen Jie and Zhao Qiyue was beneficial to Si Yan and the royal family as well. If it went through, it would be a bargaining chip for both parties to restrain each other.

After Zhao Qiyue told the Queen Mother about Shen Jie, the Queen Mother's expression was calm, as if to say: That's it? What's the big deal?

Empress Lü looked at Zhao Qiyue's angry face and shook her head: "Just because of this, you don't want to marry Shen Jie? You are so old, why are you still acting like a child?" Zhao Qiyue stamped her feet anxiously: "Why should I marry him when he has another woman in his heart?"

Empress Lü sipped her tea leisurely: "So what? How many men in the world are devoted to me? Even if he is loyal now, what about in the future? As long as he is useful, that's enough."

Zhao Qiyue disagreed: "Mom, you are also a woman, how can you say that."

Empress Lu put down the teacup with a bang.

"It is precisely because I am a woman that I know what is more beneficial to women. Do you know how many people were in the harem when I married your father? Do you know how many wealthy families in the capital do not have concubines nowadays?"

"To tell you the truth, being with Shen Jie is the best of both worlds, and it is also the most effective way to stabilize Si Yan and his hundreds of thousands of troops."

"You also know how hard it is for your brother to sit in this position. There are so many eyes watching him. As the eldest princess of the Great Zhao, you are not qualified to be willful."

"Besides, you already have some feelings for Shen Jie, don't you? This is already a luxury enough."

This series of words stunned Zhao Qiyue. Before she could say anything, Empress Lu said:

"As for that Lu Qiqi, she is indeed not suitable for marriage. Even if Shen Jie wants to take a concubine, he can only take one from us. I will talk to him and ask him to send that woman away. You can stay in the princess's mansion and wait for your marriage with peace of mind."

"You are old enough now. You should understand without me having to tell you more. Marriage is the only thing you can do for your brother."

"There is also a new emperor on the throne in Xirong. All forces are trying to win him over. The ministers are all recommending you to marry the emperor. The imperial study is in turmoil. Do you know how much pressure your brother is under? Compared to marrying the emperor, marrying Shen Jie is the best option."
