After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 17 Dust Settled

  After dinner, she was dragged into a bamboo forest by the man on the way to take a walk to digest food. She should have struggled angrily. But maybe it's because the surroundings are too quiet, or maybe it's because the man's skills are too good, which nourished her long-dry heart for a moment.

  So that night, she dismissed all the waiters early.

  She only thought it was a moment of lust, and she would not have anything to do with that person in the future.

  At this age, she never thought that she would be pregnant.

   Not long after, the doctor came.

  Ms. Li stretched out her hand apprehensively, and the doctor put **** lightly together. After a while, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Ma'am, I'm more than one month pregnant."

  Although there were guesses, Li Shi's heart sank when he heard the doctor say it himself.

  The confidant on the side was dumbfounded. A few years ago, Master Hou rarely came to his wife's yard, and the last time was at the end of last year.

  This... how can this be good?

   beat the doctor away, the master and servant sat silently looking at each other.

  After a long while, the nanny hesitated and said: "The most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of this child. Why don't Madam go to the temple to live in the temple for a while..."

  Li Shi wiped his face, "I don't know, but I have been a housekeeper for so many years, if I leave the mansion without a reasonable reason, how can these people in the mansion not be suspicious?"

  She regretted it very much at this moment, she knew that she shouldn't have done that on a whim.

  At this time, Cui Liu raised the curtain and came in, "The coachman Qian Da said that he has something to see his wife."

   Mrs. Li is worrying right now, how can she have time to care about these trifles? Impatiently, she waved her hand and asked Mammy to go out and ask.

   When the nanny came in again, she was hesitant to speak.

   "... Ma'am, Qian Da said that Master Hou may have set up an outer room outside."

  Mr. Li didn't raise her eyes when she heard the words, and said "um" without emotion,

  The two have been married for many years, how could she not know that Shen Ji'an has someone outside. But which backyard of Gao Menxungui's children is clean? If it was placed in the first few years of marriage, in order to stabilize her status, she would have to spend some effort to get him back to the backyard and put him under her nose. But now that her children are adults, as long as Shen Jian doesn't make too much noise, she won't bother to take care of it.

  Seeing that his wife didn't take it seriously, the nanny said anxiously: "But, Qian Da said... Lord Hou often goes to Nanfeng Pavilion...he..."

   Li Shi instantly understood what she meant. She knew that some children from aristocratic families had special hobbies, and the Nanfeng Hall was a well-known small hall in Beijing.

  In the past, I hadn't heard that Shen Ji'an had this hobby, but people are subject to change. Thinking of this, she felt disgusted.

  Good masculinity has always been shamed by the world. but…

   Her heart moved, she was worried that she would not have a chance to leave the house smoothly?

  As long as she lures the people in the house to catch the traitor, and then she pretends to be sad and disappointed and goes to Zhuangzi to live for a while to relax, it will be logical.

  …

  The next day, when Mrs. Li paid her respects to the old lady, she inadvertently mentioned that a village in the house had planted a lot of pomegranate trees, and it was the season of pomegranate flowers. It's better to take advantage of the good weather today, and my mother took the younger siblings to have a look.

  So under Li Shi's strong persuasion, Cui Shi took the third wife and boarded the car to go to Zhuangzi.

  When they were about to get into the carriage, Shen Mingjiao's master and servant happened to come over. Hearing that everyone was going to see the pomegranate flowers, she enthusiastically said that she would also go, and without waiting for Mrs. Li to refuse, she shamelessly climbed into the carriage.

   Mrs. Li had no choice but to let her go, thinking that she would be lured away when the time came.

Zhuangzi happened to be next to the Daxiangguo Temple. When the carriage stopped, several people got out of the carriage. When the gatekeeper saw the person from the master's house, he was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, his face turned pale, and he saluted them tremblingly. .

   Mrs. Li glanced at the man and snorted coldly in her heart. She had already asked Qian Da, and learned that Shen Ji'an hid him in this village.

  Several people went in, and Zhuangtou who heard the news rushed over to greet him, and at the same time sent someone to report the news to Lord Hou, but was caught by someone arranged by Mrs. Li on the way.

   Mrs. Li led the crowd forward. Along the way, Mrs. Cui noticed something, and asked Li in displeasure: "Boss wife, why is there no one in this village? What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

  Li Shi didn't intend to hide any more, so he glanced at Shen Mingjiao who was walking around at the end and looking around. He sighed and said, "Daughter-in-law can't do anything about it, I will ask mother to make decisions for daughter-in-law later."

   Not long after, a few people passed the pomegranate grove, and heard an indescribable sound faintly. Cui frowned, "Who's there?"

  Ms. Li was stunned for a while, she didn't expect Shen Ji'an to be so ridiculous, but this is better!

  At this time, she also ignored Shen Mingjiao's presence, and directly led everyone closer to the source of the sound.

  When he got closer, the voice gradually became clear across a gorgeous red sea. It was indeed Shen Ji'an's voice, but it was accompanied by a high-pitched female voice. Li frowned, how could it be a woman?

  Cui Shi also heard it, but it was Li Shi who was jealous and couldn't tolerate her son looking for women outside. His face suddenly sank: "Boss, this is your purpose today!"

  The third lady gloated.

   Mrs. Li didn't expect things to be like this, and now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, passing through the branches,

  When I saw the scene inside, my mind went blank.

  I saw a man and a woman lying on the ground with disheveled clothes. The man was Shen Ji'an, and the woman... turned out to be Mrs. Zhen Guo who had always devoted herself to Buddha!

  The normally dignified and kind face was flushed now.

   Suddenly seeing someone barging in, the woman screamed in fright and hid behind Shen Ji'an.

  When Cui saw the two, she took a step back in shock, and pointed at Shen Ji'an with shaking fingers: "You...you...confused!"

  Although she is short-sighted, she also knows that the woman in front of her is the widow of a loyal and brave general, and the wife of Yipin Zhenguo personally appointed by the Holy Majesty.

  Forcing the widows of martyrs, if it spreads, this is a capital offense!

  Shen Mingjiao stood behind them, lazily playing with the round fan, but Haitang saw the undisguised sarcasm in her girl's eyes.

  The last few people came to the main hall, and after the initial panic, the Mrs. Zhen Guo walked away with her maid as if nothing had happened.

  Shen Ji'an knelt at Cui's feet, bowed his head and sincerely admitted his mistake. Said that he was only with Mrs. Zhen Guo for the sake of General Zhongyong's power in the court. He knew it was wrong, but for the future of the Hou Mansion, he would do anything...

   What I said was true, and at the end of the words, I even cried.

  Cui Shi was originally full of anger, but in his few words, most of it had already disappeared. Looking at his son with red eyes, he even felt that it was really hard for his son for this family!

  The third lady on the side was already pale with anger. Seeing that the old godmother didn't think the matter was serious at all, and felt sorry for her son, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said:

   "Hou Ye said this lightly. That loyal and brave general was once the God of War in the Great Xia Kingdom. I don't need to say how prestigious he is in the army! If this matter gets out, our family will have to follow!"

   "No, hurry up and separate before things get serious..."

  Mr. Cui had a headache from the quarrel, and she was always soft-hearted, so she lost her mind for a while, so she couldn't help but look at her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li.

   Li Shi put on a blank face, wishing to tear Shen Ji'an alive, if not for this, she would not have known that Shen Ji'an was so bold.

  If this matter is not handled properly, not only will her son's official career be ruined, but even the marriage of her daughter Shen Mingyan and Pei Ji will fail.

  She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the maid who was guarding the door, and said, "Let's deal with all the people who came with me today!"

  Cui also reacted and nodded repeatedly. A series of voices urged Shen Ji'an to do it quickly. The third lady on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

   Several people didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter. It seemed that the dozen or even dozens of lives that were about to be executed were just numbers in their eyes.

  Shen Ji'an called two bodyguards, and not long after, there were cries one after another at the door.

  However, after half a cup of tea, the guard rushed in in a panic, "Master Hou, everyone... everyone is gone..."

  Shen Ji Anhuo stood up, "What's going on?"

   "Those people were **** and thrown into the firewood room. The villain...the villain went to dispense medicine according to Lord Hou's order... When he came back, he disappeared..."

   Several people were panicked,

  Shen Ji'an pointed at the guard angrily: "Why don't you go find it?"

   Li frowned, feeling that things were too strange, she glanced at the room, and suddenly realized something: "Where's Shen Mingjiao?"

  Cui's and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, they were too emotional just now, no one noticed where Shen Mingjiao went!

  Ms. Li shouted anxiously: "Quick! Go find..."

   Before the words finished, the door was pushed open, and Shen Mingjiao walked in with a smile: "Auntie, are you looking for me?"

  Mr. Li stared straight at her: "Where did you go?"

  Shen Mingjiao didn't seem to notice the stagnation of the atmosphere in the room at all, and said casually, "Turn around around Zhuangzi casually."

  Thinking of something, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh right, when I passed by the firewood room just now, I saved a group of servants who were about to be silenced."

Several people's faces froze, Shen Ji'an forced a smile and said: "Four girls, don't do something stupid on the spur of the moment, they are all servants who have made a big mistake, if they don't die and go out and talk nonsense, then our entire Hou Mansion will suffer, I'm afraid your marriage with King Su will be..."

  Shen Mingjiao waved her hands indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, we are all one family, everyone has the same blessings and the same difficulties!"

  Shen Ji'an: "..." Who cares about your troubles!

  Mr. Li stared at her calm smile, and there was something she didn't understand for a while! Thinking of the similar face in her memory again, she felt anger welling up in her chest, and raised her hand to slap Shen Mingjiao's face:

   "Bitch, why don't you die!"

  The wrist was grabbed violently.

  Shen Mingjiao leaned close to her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Auntie, how does the first card in Nanfeng Hall taste?"

   Li's heart was shocked, and in a flash, she understood everything, and pointed at Shen Mingjiao with trembling fingers:

   "You...it's you...it's all you..."

  Shen Mingjiao let go of her hand, "Why are you so excited, Auntie, I just repay him with the same way!"

  …

  Recalling that day, listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer. Shen Mingjiao took a step back to avoid the man's overstretched hand, and softly shouted into the air: "Wang Dashan."

  The next moment, the rear window moved, and a thin man appeared in front of him. It was the guard left by Eunuch Hua to protect Shen Mingjiao.

  Shen Mingjiao pointed at the frightened man: "Throw him on the bed."

  The man immediately complained with tears in his eyes: "Girl, I was also framed."

   Immediately, she took out the lavender handkerchief from her arms, put it on her lips and sniffed it, and said softly: "Girl, since the first time I saw you, I..."

  Shen Mingjiao interrupted him impatiently: "That's the handkerchief that Mrs. Hu used to wipe sweat in the kitchen!"

  The man's mouth froze as he sniffed the handkerchief.

  Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching the door, Shen Mingjiao stopped talking nonsense, and said bluntly: "Make a deal with me, take the eldest lady tonight, the price is easy to negotiate!"

  The man looked annoyed at being humiliated: "Who do you think I am..."

   "Two hundred taels."

   "No... I only have girls in my heart..."

   "Five hundred taels."

   "That's the mistress of the Hou Mansion, I dare not..."

   "One thousand taels."

  Man, oh no, the number one card in the Nanfeng Pavilion smiled brightly: "Deal."

  …

   Withdrawing her thoughts, Shen Mingjiao looked at Li Shi's distorted face that was so angry. In fact, she has always known that Li Shi hates and even resents her.

  The reason is very clichéd. Back then, Mrs. Li had her eyes on her father. After being rejected, she settled for the next best thing and married Shen Ji'an. But she didn't give up on her father, and later her father made a public opinion to marry her mother, so Li Shi naturally hated her mother to the bone, and even looked at her in various ways.

  Shen Ji'an seemed to see that she did not intend to compromise, and stared at her deeply: "What do you want?"

Shen Mingjiao met his gaze calmly, and said indifferently: "It's not that bad, as long as uncle doesn't use my name to go around trying to gain profits, and don't try to gain benefits from King Su through me, I will treat today's incident as never happened However, otherwise, those servants who were rescued by me are the best evidence."

  Cui Shi pointed at her and cursed angrily: "Little bitch, at least your uncle's family has raised you all these years, and you have raised a white-eyed wolf!"

Shen Ming laughed ironically: "Oh! Did grandma forget that the title of the Marquis of Yongchang should be taken back in the generation of the uncle. It was my father's contribution to curing the epidemic in Qinzhou that year, so the eldest brother had the opportunity to continue to claim the title, and you Ask yourself, what kind of life have I lived in the mansion for the past eight years!"

   "However, grandma can rest assured, for my father's sake, I will pay no less respect during the holidays."

  Actually, if this group of people didn't come to provoke her, she wouldn't bother to bother.

   I can imagine that in the previous life, this group of people used her and even the name of Su Wang's mansion to play around outside, like mosquitoes in summer. Although they can't hurt her, they can bite you if you don't pay attention, which is very annoying.

   Now that she has grasped this handle, to Shen Ji'an, it is like a knife hanging over her head, and she is afraid that she will be kept at a respectful distance from now on.

  Shen Mingjiao was tough, and in the end Shen Ji'an had no choice but to compromise.

   Several people left with sullen faces, and when they passed by, Shen Mingjiao said coolly to Mrs. Li: "By the way, don't forget to return all my mother's dowry."

  Her mother was born in a small merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there are not many dowries, and there are only a few shops, they are also left to her and her sister by her mother.

  Mr. Li hated her so much, but thinking about what happened just now and that night, she had to grit her teeth and agree.

  Shen Mingjiao continued to make up the knife with a smile: "For the sake of my aunt's attitude is quite good, my niece kindly tells you that you are not actually pregnant, but just took some medicine that caused a false pregnancy."

   Li Shi rolled her eyes and fainted out of anger.

   Good night, there will be another chapter later. If you think it's cute, you can add it to your favorites!
