Chapter 197 The evidence is solid, it’s time to close the net
Previously, Chu Lingxi was willing to marry Gu Tingyan. Gu Tingyan analyzed the pros and cons of the situation and assured him that as long as his power would definitely affect the love between Chu Lingxi and Shen Shuyu, Chu Lingxi agreed.
But now, he has gone back on his word.
After being exposed by Gu Tingyan, Chu Lingxi also pretended to be married. After thinking for a moment, she said bluntly: "Cousin Tingyan, I still have to pass the test in my heart. I want to marry you."
When the marriage was just decided, Chu Lingxi could still convince herself that she was with Shen Suyu because of the queen. Now she only made a small sacrifice to get in the way. But as the wedding day gets closer, Chu Lingxi's heart That boredom became more and more obvious, until last night, he dreamed of Shen Suyu. Shen Suyu asked him why he wanted to marry Gu Tingyan when he clearly liked her, and said that he would forgive him in this life.
Chu Lingxi woke up immediately, sweating profusely, and did not dare to close her eyes for the rest of the night.
After waking up, Chu Lingxi only felt that her heart was getting more and more depressed, so she rode towards the city. Suddenly, her eyesight went dark. When she came to her senses, she was already at Prince Duan's Mansion.
Although the fall from the horse seemed to have been done deliberately as Gu Tingyan said, it could be regarded as indirectly following his wishes.
Knowing that she would be forced to get married within two months, Chu Lingxi felt lighter than ever.
Gu Tingyan didn't say anything, just looked into Chu Lingxi's eyes. After a long time, she asked: "Cousin, if you marry me, can you and Shen Shuyu be together smoothly?"
Chu Lingxi answered, and Gu Tingyan answered for him, "I tell you, it's possible, even if you marry me, you can still be with Shen Suyu, because as long as you still want to ascend to that supreme position, I can only marry the daughter of the Gu family."
Being rejected by Chu Lingxi twice, Gu Tingyan could endure it no matter how good-tempered she was. There was a hint of coldness in her gentle voice, "Chu Lingxi, you should know that it has always been me, Gu Tingyan." I am rushing to marry you, but you, Chu Lingxi, are not mine. I am the eldest daughter of the current Prime Minister. There are many people who want to marry me. However, you have my aunt's blood in your body, so I choose. You. Since you are so resistant to this marriage, I will go back to my father to make it clear that this marriage is cancelled."
After saying this, Gu Tingyan sneered: "Chu Lingxi, remember, you are the best choice for the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you are not the only choice for the Prime Minister's Mansion."
After saying that, Gu Tingyan turned around and left. Her back was slender and straight, making her look like a noble lady.
Watching Gu Tingyan's retreating figure, Chu Lingxi pursed her lips and felt extremely complicated for a moment.
…
Yininghou Mansion.
Since most of the preparations for Shen Qing's wedding have been completed, everyone in the mansion is relaxed these days.
Shen Qing was watching the news from Qin Luan.
Zhou Xian has been detained for two days. During this period, Qin Luan went there three or four times. However, Zhou Xian never relaxed. He not only mentioned why he wanted to kill the Qin family, but also mentioned the people behind the scenes. Wherever he is, he has nothing to say to Qin Luan except apologies.
Because he didn't help Shen Qing, Qin Luan's words were filled with guilt.
In response, Shen Qing just returned to the passage: Just try your best.
The time in detention was short, and Shen Qing felt that Zhou Xian's body should have recovered a lot, so he asked Chanyi to send a message to Lize, saying that Zhou Xian should be guarded more closely these days.
The matter of Lu Yan inheriting the title has also been decided, and the emperor will supervise the election on the second day of August, which is an auspicious day, just after 꾉꽭.
Coupled with the preparations for the wedding, Prince Jing'an's Mansion has been extremely busy these days. Lu Yan has not been here for three days in a row.
Without Lu Yan around, Shen Qing was a little bored, but Tuanzi was extremely happy. He stayed in Shen Qing's arms every day and refused to leave for a moment.
Chanyi's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Mrs. He Sanshao is here."
Shen Qing was startled for a moment before he realized that Mrs. He Sanshao in Chanyi was Mu Lingyue.
Mu Lingyue's leg was completely healed as early as the beginning of July. However, Shen Qing only came to Yining Marquis Mansion for a visit and then hurried back. She disappeared for a whole month.
"Invite her in."
After a while, Mu Lingyue followed Chanyi into the yard, her face looking less relaxed than before.
Shen Qing raised his eyes, "Is everything resolved?"
Mu Lingyue nodded, sat down opposite Shen Qing, and responded: "Well, it's all settled. Lingyue came here today to ask when the young lady is free. Can she follow Lingyue to He's house? One trip.”
Nowadays, although everyone in the He family respects Shen Qing for her sake, if she really wants to touch He Wensheng, Minister He will stand by and watch, so Mu Lingyue needs Shen Qing to be there to act as her. backing.
Seeing that it was time to close the net, Shen Qing was happy to help Mu Lingyue with the last blow, "Choosing a day is like hitting the sun, so now is the best time."
After finishing his words, he looked at Chanyi beside him and said, "Go and tell daddy, come to He's house and watch the fun."
Shen Yi'an had an old grudge with Minister He, and now that the He family was in trouble, it was natural that he would take Shen Yi'an with him.
Mu Lingyue's expression changed, but she didn't expect that Shen Qing would ask Shen Yi'an to go there as well. In this case, it would be easier to solve the matter.
Shen Qing stood up and saw that Tuanzi was willing to leave, so he just hugged him and went with him.
Looking at the color of the sun, Shen Qing looked at Mu Lingyue out of the corner of his eye, "It's still early. If we move faster, we can still handle the divorce at the same time today."
Hearing this, a trace of longing flashed in Mu Lingyue's eyes, "I packed all my things a month ago, and I can only leave when the time comes."
Shen Qing chuckled: "You move very quickly."
Mu Lingyue's eyebrows were crooked, but her eyes were full of disgust, "The He family is a smoky place. Staying any longer will be torture."
The two of them walked towards the door of the mansion while chatting, and saw that Shen Yi'an had arrived, with Xie Ling following him.
Mu Lingyue stepped forward and saluted, "Lingyue has met the Marquis and his wife. She specially asked the Marquis and his wife to come here for Lingyue's affairs. I also ask the Marquis and his wife for your forgiveness."
She behaved well, spoke and acted in a measured manner, and looked like a noble daughter of everyone. When Shen Yi'an saw her, she couldn't help but sigh: "Mu Linyuan's virtue can actually give birth to such a good and sensible daughter like you. I think I will follow Liang Liang." Shi. Yes, can the leg injury be cured?"
Mu Lingyue responded with a smile: "It's already good. Lingyue suffered a murderous attack from the He family that day. Thanks to Lord Hou who came to the palace to find an imperial doctor, there was no root cause of disease left in Lingyue. Lord Hou is a great kindness, and Lingyue is extremely grateful."
Shen Yi'an was very concerned and waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter. You are someone I value, so naturally I want to help."
After a brief exchange of greetings, a few people got on the carriage and headed towards He Mansion.
…
More than half an hour later, He Mansion.
He Shilang was leisurely doting on his concubine and flirting with her, when he heard the young man come in and report: "Sir, the third young lady is back, and she is followed by the Yining Hou family."
Minister He was immediately startled, "A family? All of you coming?"
The boy nodded, "Yes, Marquis Yining, Mrs. Marquis Yining and Miss Shen are all here."
Shilang He frowned, what do so many people want to do? Looking for trouble?
