Spoiled Wife

Shen Qi only found out about what happened in Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion later on, and it was from Xie Shihan herself. At that time, the news of what had happened had already spread throughout the capital, and the second young master of Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion had almost fallen out with his family over a brothel girl.    

    

At that time, Shen Qi looked at Xie Shihan in shock.    

    

Seeing the astonishment on Shen Qi's face, Xie Shihan asked in astonishment, "You don't really not know about this?" This matter had spread throughout the capital. All day long, it was spread like wildfire between the head of the Emerald Red Residence and the Second Young Master of the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion.    

    

Shen Qi shook her head, "I haven't been out much recently, so I really don't know." was no exception. She held Xie Shihan's speechless gaze and asked: "What happened next?"    

    

Xie Shihan talked about it out of boredom with Shen Qi, so when she asked this question, she was full of interest and said: "What else can I do? Moreover, if she doesn't agree with Xue Zheng, she will cause a ruckus. Madam Hou had no choice but to agree, who asked her to pamper her son. "    

    

As he spoke, Xie Shihan smiled, "Loyal Marquis is quite angry. I'll ignore him and let him go on a hunger strike, but Madam Hou couldn't bear it anymore. In the end, Xue Zheng still succeeded."    

    

Shen Qi frowned as she thought of something. "That ace player is a good move."    

    

Xie Shihan shook her head, "Speaking of which, that number one person is also a pitiful person. She was implicated in the crimes of her family members and was sold to such an unscrupulous place. I heard that she had always been a prostitute and did not sell herself.    

    

"Didn't they say that you can't redeem yourself after offending a criminal?" Shen Qi asked suspiciously.    

    

"It's not that strict. Many people are willing to accept their daughter as their concubine, especially those merchants. After all, this is the first time coming out of a well-read house, and taking someone into the palace is not a good thing." Xie Shihan said in disdain.    

    

She had the spirit of chivalry, and did not respect such disrespectful behavior. Most things in the world were unfair to women, and a girl's family being sold to such a place, even if it was for the family's heinous crimes, it was still too much.    

    

But what Shen Qi was thinking was: Even if she entered the house of the Marquis, would she be able to live a good life? After all, she had already suffered greatly from her birth. A Madam Hou in the house of the Marquis was an elder and his own son was risking his life for a girl. How could she like that girl?    

    

There was also the Young Chiang who was not at ease. What would her husband think if he came out of the same building instead of liking her? As the matriarch, it was easy for her to pinch a concubine. Even if she were to be killed and sold, no one else could say a word of disagreement.    

    

Relying on his young age and good color, he could grab onto Xue Zheng's heart, what would happen when he aged and lost his color? Xue Zheng was originally a romantic person, how long could he sustain his liking? He was currently in high spirits. If something happened and he could protect her, then would he care about something new in the future? At that time, wouldn't it be allowing Young Chiang to toil?    

    

"Xue Zheng might not necessarily be a good person. I wonder if he went from one fire pit to another?" Shen Qi sighed and said.    

    

Xie Shihan was startled when she heard that, and then shook her head: "It's better than staying in that place forever, isn't it?"    

    

Shen Qi smiled but did not speak. Whether it was good or bad, it still had to be decided by the person concerned, it was not easy to be a concubine, in fact, an ancient concubine's room could not only be gifted to each other but could also be sold at will.    

    

The main character of their discussion was calmly facing Young Chiang's challenge. After Young Chiang found out about Xue Zheng's actions, he naturally did not cause a lot of trouble, but what was the use of causing trouble? At first, Xue Zheng felt some warmth towards her, but later on, Young Chiang was too good at tormenting, and all of the passion in his idea was gone.    

    

Xi Ruo knew from the start that as a concubine, she would have to face her mistress's difficulties and criticism. She made preparations, and no matter what, she didn't want to stay in that place any longer, so she remained indifferent when facing the Young Chiang.    

    

After Xue Zheng brought the top card of the Cui Hong Residence into the palace, it was swapped for other things. The capital had never lacked such news, especially regarding this kind of beautiful and talented person's play, which was a hot topic for discussion but had a time limit.    

    

Currently, Shen Qi did not care about what the people in the capital were talking about. She was worried about something else.    

    

This was originally not a long time ago, but when the end of the year approached, when the King of Duan would report every month for peace, it would be strange if there was no news for a month and a half.    

    

This was also reflected in the fact that when he did things, there were always certain rules. For example, he always sent letters once a month, so if it was surpassed, then it meant that there was a problem that he couldn't do it on time.    

    

The Guanbei's battle had already started in its entirety, and during this period, Shen Qi would frequently deliver victory reports to the capital, and then, there would be a letter from her family. This was a common practice, naturally, Shen Qi remembered this time.    

    

Shen Qi didn't know if there was something wrong with King Duan's side or not, at first, when it was more than a few days, she only thought that it was probably because the battle was too tense and the Prince was unable to leave, thus she patiently waited. A week had passed, no news, ten days had passed, but there was still no news, and then half a month had passed without any news.    

    

But only she knew that she had really started to worry. She didn't know what had happened, but at this moment, she started to let her imagination run wild. What if something really happened to the prince? What should she do?    

    

She had always felt that no man could live a good life without her, but now she discovered that she had changed, becoming even more fragile. She began to fall under the deliberate tolerance of King Duanren, and then she slowly got used to someone by her side indulging her and solving all the problems for you.    

    

This habit was like a drug addiction. Before, she didn't care even if she disdained it, but now, she was no longer able to say those words.    

    

This time, the situation in the Guanbei was already strange, and the fact that he could not receive Duke Tai's message at this time made everyone even more uneasy. At this time, Shen Qi was a little frustrated, he did not have any way to obtain the information in his hands, and thus revealed his passive side.    

    

When the Emperor didn't deliver his report on time, he already knew that something must have happened to the Guanbei. This was because he knew that due to the nature of a person, his perception of time would be extremely strict, and there wouldn't be any kind of low level mistake like forgetting something.    

    

The Emperor still had his men. When he was worried, he could immediately send someone to investigate, so he sent people five days late for King Duanren's report. At this time, he was waiting for news to arrive.    

    

Everything in the King's Mansion was still the same as before. Shen Qi tried her best to appear calm, but the people underground still felt nervous, especially those who had been following King Duanren Emperor. They knew the personality of the Duke.    

    

Thus, under the surface calmness, there was a surging wave. It was not only in the King's Mansion, but also in the Imperial Palace. Even some of the more sensitive ministers felt that the atmosphere was unusual.    

    

For the past few days, the Emperor's temper had been a bit impatient. Although his temperament had been unpredictable, his performance in the past two days had been even more obvious.    

    

No one knew what had happened, but they started to guess if there was anything abnormal in the court. It seemed that King Duanren had not sent back his report for a long time. Just by thinking about it, everyone understood what had happened.    

    

As mentioned before, King Xian was a guardian of Grand Xia. If something were to happen to him, even though it wouldn't threaten the safety of Grand Xia, it would cause a great stir throughout the country.    

    

He was the faith and spiritual pillar of the commoners, the officials, and even the soldiers. If this pillar of faith were to fail, then the rest could be imagined.    

    

For the past few years, it had been King Duanren who had defended the peace and stability of the imperial court against external enemies. He believed in King Duanren, and he also had the strength and ability; one outside the city, one inside the city. The two of them worked well together, and during this time, if something happened to one person, the other person would also be flustered.    

    

The Emperor was currently in this state. Originally, when the children of the Shen Fei were born with a weak body, they didn't have any major plans, so they wanted to raise them first and then celebrate in the next hundred days.    

    

At this time, no one would dare to use such a matter to bother him. Moreover, he didn't have the mood to work for his son for a hundred days, and after that, the hundred days of celebration for the Fifth Prince was only a small part of the palace, so it was over.    

    

Her son was ignored by the emperor for the sake of King Duanren. It was uncertain if the full moon could be maintained, but after a hundred days, although the Fifth Prince was slightly weaker than other children his age, he was basically certain that he would grow up healthy. There was no problem at all.    

    

In this period of time, she had completely changed from her usual style and no longer fought with the other women in the palace for jealousy. Instead, she focused on taking care of the Fifth Prince, who had also not failed her effort.    

    

Initially, she wanted to take advantage of the time that the Fifth Prince had to show up in a hundred days' time and let the Emperor see her hardships. She wanted to take advantage of the time that the Fifth Prince had to show up in a hundred days' time and let the Emperor see her hardships.    

    

No, it should be because of Shen Qi. If she had even the slightest bit of strength, the King's Mansion would come out and mess things up, and all of this happened after Shen Qi was married into the King's Mansion.    

    

Therefore, she felt that Shen Qi was born to be the bane of her, and that she was now both jealous and slightly fearful at the same time.
