Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 404 Annoying Concealment

The old lady asked the nurse who was serving her to inform her to prepare lunch.Then he took the daughter-in-law and grandchildren of the Duke of Zhen's mansion to the dining room.

After a while, lunch was ready.Most of the dishes on the table are Shen Wanyu's favorite.Looking at those dishes, Shen Wanyu felt a warm current flow in her heart.

"My baby Yu'er is here? But miss grandpa?"

Before the person came in, the voice had already entered the dining room, listening to the energetic and joyful voice.No need to guess, Shen Wanyu knew it was her grandfather who had returned.

Following the sound, a slender and tall figure walked in.The old man who entered the dining room was dressed in a black robe, and his gorgeous hair was tied behind his head with a hairpin.Those pitch-black eyes did not have a trace of turbidity, and they flickered with broken light of excitement.The tough facial features are as sharp as a knife, and it can be vaguely seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.

The old man exuded the elegance of a literati, and his gestures carried an irresistible majesty.

"Grandpa, Yu'er naturally misses grandpa." Shen Wanyu smiled and looked at the old man who walked to the empty seat beside her and sat down, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.It can be said that the old man has some resemblance to her modern grandfather, so she couldn't help but want to get closer.It can be said that she completely transferred her admiration for Hyundai to the old Duke.

"You girl is used to making the elderly happy. If you really miss grandpa, why don't you visit grandpa often?"

Although the old man complained, his brows and eyes were full of smiles.It can be seen that Shen Wanyu's words pleased him and put him in a good mood.

"Sigh, it's not just father and mother who are in Yu'er's eyes. Those of us who are uncles have to stand aside." Yun Kangde, the second master of the Duke's Mansion, said rather jealously. His beautiful niece hurt him from the bottom of his heart, why did he not have a daughter.

"Second uncle!"

Shen Wanyu's face flushed, and she glared coquettishly at her second uncle who was making fun of her.

"Okay, don't tease Yu'er anymore. You will get angry with Yu'er later, and then your father and mother will not pull your skin." Yun Kangning smiled slightly, and stopped wanting to Continue to tease everyone in Shen Wanyu.

"Okay, let's have lunch first." The old lady squinted her eyes and opened her mouth only when everyone was here.In this duke's mansion, the old duke should be the master of the house.But everyone in the mansion knows that the old Duke loves his wife like his life.In fact, the real master in the mansion is the old lady.

As soon as the old lady spoke, everyone naturally stopped.Just as everyone was preparing to eat, a deep and pleasant voice came in from outside.

"Grandpa, grandma. You don't mind if Mo Han comes to have a meal too."

Chu Mohan was wearing a moon-white robe, and his jet-black hair was simply tied up with a chic silver hairpin.The rest of her long hair fell to her shoulders, and her thin lips curled into a faint smile.That monstrous face instantly dazzled everyone's eyes.

Shen Wanyu was the first to recover, gritted her teeth secretly.This monstrous appearance seems to be getting more and more monstrous, and it is easier to dazzle people than before.Rao is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, but she is also confused from time to time.

"Mo Han is here, quickly add a stool and bowls and chopsticks and come over for lunch."

The old man came back to his senses, and hurriedly called Chu Mohan to sit down.Because Shen Wanyu sat on both sides of the old lady and the old man, Chu Mohan naturally couldn't compete with the two old people for the seat.He could only sit down beside the old man.

The old man and the old matriarch are still very satisfied with this grandson-in-law, and they all know some rumors about Chu Mohan.Such a man who doesn't like women, loves and pampers their baby like a treasure.That alone made them very satisfied.

When Chu Mohan joined, some people were happy and others gritted their teeth with envy.The few juniors in the Duke's mansion are all younger sisters.Thinking of the little cousin that he had doted on for so many years, she was just abducted by Chu Mohan.They can't be jealous, so they have been looking at Chu Mohan with unkind eyes since he came in.

Chu Mohan naturally felt the displeasure of a few of them, but he just curled his lips and ignored them.Instead, he chatted with the old Duke and the two masters of the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Wanyu looked at her cousin, and from time to time she made trouble for her husband.The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes full of helplessness.

The lunch ended in a very cheerful atmosphere, and everyone went to the warm pavilion.The old man immediately turned away all the waiters, and made people watch the courtyard so that no one would be allowed to come in and disturb him.

"Yu'er, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There are no outsiders here."

Shen Wanyu glanced at the crowd and nodded.She knew that her grandfather must know about the emperor's affairs, so she expressed her conjecture.

"Someone has planted a hidden stake in the Hou's mansion, and it should have been lurking for many years. Shen Wanqing was poisoned with cold, and the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow and hurt her body. Yu'er guessed that if the Hou's mansion had been planted in the early years If there are hidden stakes, then does the Duke’s Mansion also have hidden stakes?"

Hearing Shen Wanyu's words, the old Duke's face immediately darkened.He narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.Everyone knows the methods of that second aunt, Su Yingqiu.Even she didn't realize that her daughter was secretly poisoned with cold, so one can imagine that the person who poisoned her was definitely not easy in the Hou's residence.

It's just that Shen Wanqing is just a concubine, how could she become the target of those people.If the cold poison was going to hit, it should also hit Shen Wanyu.After all, she is the only prostitute in the Hou Mansion, and she is favored by the Hou Ye and the old lady.

"How could this poison be put on a little concubine? If those people's goals are so big. This poison should also be put on Yu'er."

Shen Chuwen expressed the doubts in his heart, and it happened that his doubts were the same as those of the old man.But as soon as he said this, he was glared at by everyone.Isn't this cursing their Yuer? Shen Chuwen touched his nose.Feeling a little aggrieved, he was just talking.

Sending Shen Chuwen a supercilious look, Shen Wanyu reached out and took Chu Mohan's hand.Silently reassured, look at this air conditioner is as wild as if you don't want money.Don't freeze her heartless little cousin, he hasn't married yet.

"You all have forgotten that Shen Wanyu used to be a well-known dandy in Kyoto. She was unruly, self-willed, arrogant, and disrespectful of the old and the young. Her reputation is as bad as it is. The royal family would never allow such a woman to marry the prince. But that second concubine has already started to pave the way for Shen Wanqing, her reputation outside is very good."

What Shen Wanyu said was correct, at that time it was because of her, a dandy prostitute, as a foil.The impression Shen Wanqing gave to the world was that she was a gentle, virtuous, talented beauty.Although she is a concubine, she is a concubine from Beining Houfu and a concubine from another family is different.If it is really necessary to send a woman from Beining Hou's residence to the Prince's residence, then this person can only be Shen Wanqing.

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched into a mocking smile, if Second Aunt knew the roads she painstakingly paved for Shen Wanqing.It turned out to be Shen Wanqing's nightmare in the future, I don't know how she will feel.She suddenly looked forward to it, presumably the second aunt's expression must have been very exciting at that time.

Everyone present naturally understood Shen Wanyu's words.They are not fools, it seems that the people behind the scenes have arranged everything for a long time, and the arrangement of this scene is really big enough.

You must know that the servants in the Duke's Mansion are generally born in the family.The deeds of prostitution of those maids and wives are all in their hands, so there will be almost no slaves who betray the master.

The old Duke's face was so gloomy and terrifying, she didn't expect it.My own Duke's mansion had sneaked into it a long time ago, but I didn't even notice it at all.This was a blow to the old Duke, it was too much of a face.

"Yu'er, Grandpa knows about this matter. It seems that this country's government is too peaceful. It's time to rectify it."

The old man's face softened a little, and then he raised his head to look at his precious granddaughter.A trace of cruelty flashed in those shrewd eyes, if someone was presumptuous in his chassis.He will never be soft.

"Grandpa, this matter cannot be done on the bright side. Everything must be investigated secretly, and we must not startle the snake. These hidden troubles, it is better to keep them under the nose. I don't believe that they don't contact the master behind them?"

Shen Wanyu's words made the old man and the others understand immediately. It seemed that she was going to put a long line to catch big fish.

"Well, grandpa knows what to do." The old man nodded, with a flash of worry in his eyes.Both the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion have hidden stakes, so other ministers and aristocratic families must also have hidden stakes.

"Okay, things have already happened and we need to plan slowly." The old lady thought for a moment before speaking slowly.She turned her head to look at Shen Wanyu, with a flash of distress in her eyes.How old is this girl, and her thoughts are so meticulous.She didn't know what the Su family had done to her to change her so much.

Shen Wanyu smiled slightly, and looked towards the old lady.She knew that the old lady loved her dearly, but there was nothing she could do.Those people have endangered the lives of her and the people she cares about, so she will never be the lamb to be slaughtered.If you want to plot her, then you must be prepared to be plotted by her.

"There is still a competition in the afternoon. Grandpa and uncles, hurry up and don't miss the time."

Looking at the time, the afternoon competition should start soon.The old Duke saw that the time was almost up, although he really wanted to stay with his precious granddaughter, he finally left the Duke's Mansion with Yun Kangning and Yun Kangde.

After the matter of the Duke's Mansion was settled, she believed that her grandfather and grandmother would definitely find out the hidden trouble.
