Chapter 5 Bai Yueguang climbs the wall in the middle of the night
Mu Xueliu sat at the top, his beautiful face full of sullenness, as if he had lost the dignified and virtuous look he had just before.
"Mu Ziqian, I have put so much effort into finding this marriage for you, Shen Qing, but what about you? You favor a concubine, and you are so arrogant that you welcome her in as a wife. You are already seventeen years old. , you can’t tell which one is more important!”
Yanglinghou and his wife blushed. Mu Ziqian dared to do this, so naturally they agreed.
"Xue'er, it's not your brother's fault that what happened today is not entirely your fault. Shen Qing has been a weak and well-behaved person for almost a year, but today she seems to be a different person without any warning."
Mu Xueliu bluntly pointed out the doubts in the mind of Mrs. Mingyang Linghou, "That's because you are forcing too much. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone Shen Qing, a serious legitimate daughter of the Hou family."
Mrs. Yanglinghou looked blank and was speechless for a while, unable to speak for a long time.
Marquis Yangling was also a little puzzled, "Xue'er, I remember Shen Yi'an's attitude towards Shen Qing has always been very cold. Not to mention that he ignored me when I mentioned Shen Qing to him on weekdays. Even when Shen Qing and Qian'er got married last year, He doesn’t even look happy, so why is he so protective of his calf today?”
Mu Xueliu felt a little tired and rubbed her brows before saying, "No matter how bad Shen Qing is, she is still Shen Yi'an's daughter. Father just needs to remember to treat Shen Qing as the real eldest daughter of the Yining Marquis Mansion in the future."
Marquis Yangling nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Marquis Yangling remained silent. Mu Xueliu allowed Mu Ziqian to stand up, but then beat several people carefully.
"Father, mother, Zi Qian, you must remember that my grandfather risked his life on the frontier and fought hard for more than ten years before he gained the current status of the Yangling Marquis Mansion. However, it was not as good as the other two major marquis mansions. Even the title can only be inherited for two generations. Although I married Jiang Li first into the prince's palace, I only got the position of concubine. Now, although His Highness's status is stable, neither the third prince nor the fifth prince is a good candidate. Only by showing the greatest value of Yanglinghou Mansion can the glory of our Mu family be maintained."
The three of them nodded, and finally Mu Xueliu continued to speak: "The third prince relies on the Prime Minister's Mansion, the fifth prince relies on the Wu Liehou Mansion, among the three princes in Shengjing, only the Yining Mansion has not decided on the team. Shen Qing is our only bargaining chip to win over the Yining Marquis."
Mu Ziqian was a little confused as to why his sister had to go to the Yining Marquis Mansion, "Sister, Your Highness is backed by Jiang Guogong Mansion, and with the help of Yangling Marquis Mansion, does he have to win over another Yining Marquis Mansion?"
Mu Xueliu raised her eyes and glanced at him, with a cold expression and sharp words, "The Prime Minister is the head of the civil service, commanding hundreds of officials, and has countless powers under his jurisdiction. Half of the court can be used by the three princes; the Wuliehou Mansion is the home of the generals, with With 200,000 soldiers, the fifth prince seems to have divine help with his support; Jiang Guogong’s family has a century-old family background and has an extraordinary background. So tell me, what can we provide for your highness? "
Although they are both one of the three princes, the foundation of the Yanglinghou Mansion is too shallow. Yanglinghou has no big strategy, and Yanglinghou's wife also comes from a small family, and her vision and mind are even less.
Marquis Yangling choked hard and turned his head away silently.
Mrs. Yanglinghou thought carefully. It seemed that they had nothing to offer the prince. She turned her eyes to Mu Xueliu's belly and was slightly thankful, "Xue'er, fortunately, your belly is strong."
Mu Xueliu was pregnant, and she only found out half a month ago. This was the reason why the Mu family dared to openly marry Lin Xuefu.
Mu Xueliu mercilessly exposed the happiness in Mrs. Yanglinghou's heart, "Not to mention whether he is a boy or a girl, even if he is the emperor's eldest grandson, he is only a concubine. My mother feels that the queen will let a concubine take over. Did they steal the spotlight from their Jiang family?
Jiang Li will be hair-cut in just over a month, and my life will not be too easy, so my parents should not cause any more trouble to me. "
Mrs. Yanglinghou nodded in shame.
"I don't want what happened today to happen again in the future. Shen Qing is the only young lady in Yanglinghou Mansion. There is no doubt about it. As for Lin Xuefu, Shen Qing will not touch her at the cusp of the storm, but if she happens again in the future, If anything happens, I will be the first to let her go.”
Hearing that Mu Xueliu would not embarrass Lin Xuefu, Mu Ziqian nodded happily and sent Mu Xueliu out of the house.
…
It's night, the full moon hangs high, and a few sparse stars are dotted beside it, glowing with dim light.
Shen Qing was not sleepy at all, sitting in front of the desk in a daze. On the desk was a portrait of a man whose ink had not yet dried.
The man was dressed in a dark robe, with a few scattered bamboo leaves dotted around the hem. His facial features were exquisite, like fine craftsmanship, and his eyebrows were deep, like an absorbing whirlpool, making people want to indulge in it involuntarily.
Lu Yan, Shen Qing Bai Yueguang hidden deep in her heart.
Shen Qing and Lu Yan met in Yuncheng.
That year, Shen Qing was just fourteen years old and went to her maternal grandfather's house to visit relatives, but unexpectedly saw Lu Yan's beautiful and breathtaking face.
This was the first time in Shen Qing's fourteen years of life that she had seen such a good-looking person. In order to see more of her, Shen Qing spent a lot of money to buy the yard next to Lu Yan's house and became Lu Yan's neighbor for half a year.
At first, Lu Yan was very resistant to her approach, but Shen Qing was not annoyed and always talked to him.
It wasn't that Shen Qing was obsessed with sex, but Lu Yan's frail and weak look made Shen Qing always subconsciously suspect that his time was running out. Seeing that he was alone again, he inevitably felt compassion.
Later, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and Lu Yan would take the initiative to invite her over to make tea around the stove.
However, Shen Qing's mother Yun Yuan suddenly became seriously ill, breaking this harmonious scene.
Without having time to say goodbye, Shen Qing returned to Shengjing overnight.
Yun Yuan was ill for half a year.
Before her death, Yun Yuan left a request, hoping that Shen Qing would marry into Yangling Marquis' Mansion.
Shen Qing agreed.
At that time, Yun Yuan was deceived by the Mu family and thought that she had found a good marriage for Shen Qing, but she didn't expect that she would push Shen Qing into the abyss.
After Shen Qing married into Yangling Marquis' Mansion, she realized that her husband's thoughtfulness was fake, and her parents-in-law's kindness and gentleness were also fake. However, Shen Qing still listened to her mother's teachings before her death, and played the role of a virtuous and gentle mistress of the Marquis' Mansion day after day, but what she got was the Mu family's repeated intensification.
Until today, she finally woke up from the dream.
Yangling Marquis' Mansion is not Yining Marquis' Mansion, and Mu Ziqian is not Shen Yian. Yun Yuan's experience in the past is not applicable to this Yangling Marquis' Mansion, which is comparable to a tiger's den and a wolf's den.
As her thoughts gradually came back to her mind, Shen Qing raised her hand and touched Lu Yan's delicate eyebrows, with a flash of emotion in her eyes.
The time when she was a neighbor of Lu Yan was one of her rare happy days.
"Squeak--"
The subtle sound of the window opening came, and Shen Qing turned her head subconsciously, and saw the man outside the window leaning slightly, and it seemed that he was going to climb through the window.
Shen Qing: "???"
Looking at the handsome face that was more mature than in her memory, Shen Qing said in disbelief, "Lu Yan?"
That's right, the person outside the window was the white moonlight in Shen Qing's heart, Lu Yan.
And now, Bai Yueguang had climbed over the wall of her yard without knowing when, and was about to climb into her house again.
