Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 78: Using the Fifth Young Lady of the Marquisate

Zhu Yanxiao entered the palace and quickly walked towards Xunyu Cottage. His mood was extremely bad at this moment.

It was strange that Mu Chuchu had come to the palace gate and made a scene today. Only the three of them knew that their father had proposed to Marquis Anbo. Based on their understanding of Lord Mu Yun, he would never tell Mu Chuchu about this, because he knew that he would definitely come to the palace and make a scene once he knew about it.

as predicted.

Mu Yejun said... It is also possible that he did it to stop him from marrying Shen Shen. No, Mu Chuchu was wearing palace clothes just now. Judging from the time, it seems that she just left the palace. She must have gone to see Queen Mu.

Something must have happened that I didn't know about, and this matter involved Shen Shenshen.

"Xingyun."

"Prince." Xingyun immediately clasped his fists and stepped forward.

"Go and find out what's going on in the palace recently. The more detailed the better."

"Yes."

"This prince wants to know the result as soon as possible."

"I will go immediately."

After giving instructions to Xingyun, he quickly walked to Xunyu Cottage and inadvertently looked up and saw the plaque he had written with his own hands, and the past suddenly emerged in his mind.

A fox recognized the font of the plaque in front of the courtyard, and found it wrong, so he slyly talked about this and that. Also, he turned from a fox into a flatterer for money. Also, the fox called him Xiao Zhu, and the fox said that it was his exclusive nickname. Unfortunately, after he said he didn't like it, the fox stopped calling him that, but still called him Ziyuan, Ziyuan without any sense of propriety, and didn't even add the word "brother", even though he was five years older than her.

After all, I dote on her.

The favored Shen Fox Shenshen always had nothing to fear from him. However, Fox refused to marry him and refused countless times.

"Hmph." Zhu Yanxiao snorted. Shen Shen, you are very good. This prince has asked for your hand in marriage so many times but failed. It doesn't matter. Just be ready to be the prince's consort.

Liu Shui, who was following behind the prince, was still immersed in the confession of the fifth lady of the Chiguaguo Mansion. She was startled by the prince's snort and carefully followed her master who was in a moody mood today.

Yunsheng Duke's Mansion

The distraught Mu Chuchu was helped by her maid Wei Ling to get on the carriage at the gate of the palace and return to the Duke's Mansion.

She forced herself to cheer up, used a handkerchief to tidy up the tear-stained make-up on her face, and took Wei Ling with her, ignoring the greetings from the servants in the mansion, and hurried to her own Yingying Courtyard in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

She couldn't let other people in the family see that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she couldn't let her father and mother know that she was going to Prince Zhong's mansion to see Brother Ziyuan today, otherwise she would be confined to her house for at least thirty days.

After entering the boudoir, Wei Ling immediately went to get some hot water for the young lady to wash her face. Mu Chuchu quickly tidied up her dishevelled appearance, sat in front of the silver-framed dressing mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror, still looking incredibly beautiful, and felt sad again.

Her appearance and family background are the best match for Brother Ziyuan, but she is helpless as love is unrelenting.

"If you can find a way to make Miss Shen suffer a little and teach her a lesson, I will not stop you."

Mu Chuchu suddenly recalled the words of Queen Mu. Yes, why did she go to find Brother Ziyuan? The person she wanted to deal with was Shen Shen, and she wanted to make her notorious in the capital, like an ant that everyone hated. Would Brother Ziyuan, the second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, still be willing to marry her?

If you can't get it, that vulgar fool can't get it either.

Mu Chuchu suddenly remembered that the fifth illegitimate daughter of the Marquis An's family also hated her second sister. It seemed that the rumor that the second Miss Shen was ugly, stupid, and fat in the capital was fanned by this fifth illegitimate daughter.

I can make good use of the fifth daughter of the Marquis's family. The most important thing now is how to find an opportunity to "take care of" the second daughter of Shen? Not only can I not leave the house at any time, but I also have to avoid my father and brother Huaibi, who also seems to be interested in Shen Shen.

At this time, the maid from her father's study was led into the room by Wei Ling and bowed to Mu Chuchu: "Fifth Miss, the Duke asked you to go to the study to answer a question. The Madam, the Crown Prince, and the Second Young Master are also here today."

"Got it. Lead the way." He understood that he should be asking her about Queen Mu's summons today.

The master and two servants left Yingying Courtyard and headed towards Lord Mu Yun's study.

"Father, mother, brother." Mu Chuchu bowed to everyone.

Mr. Mu Yun, with slightly gray hair and a lot of middle-aged charm, sat behind the large desk in the middle, with his mother and two brothers sitting on both sides.

"Chu Chu is here, please sit down." Mu Yun said impartially.

Madam Mu watched her daughter come over and sit beside her. She keenly noticed that she seemed to have been crying. She frowned to hide her inner confusion, but because the Duke had something important to ask, she swallowed the words back.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Lord Mu Yun asked directly, "Chu Chu, why did Queen Mu want you to enter the palace today?"

"Father, the Queen is looking for her daughter to learn about the Second Miss Shen of the Marquis of Anbo Mansion."

Mu Yejun, who was sitting opposite his mother and sister, was casually fiddling with the mutton-fat jade tassel hanging around his waist. When he heard this, he raised his head and looked at his sister opposite him with interest.

Mu Chuchu continued: "The queen said she had never heard of this girl and asked what kind of person she was. My daughter told her what I saw and what Brother Huaibi said about the Second Miss Shen. Of course, I also told her about the letter that Madam Shen wrote to mother to arrange for Brother to meet her daughter."

Lord Mu Yun asked in confusion: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly start paying attention to Marquis Anbo's second daughter?"

"The queen said that the eunuch beside His Majesty went to Kunning Palace yesterday to pass on the order that the second Miss Shen Shen would be invited to attend the chrysanthemum viewing banquet to be held by the queen in the near future to entertain the wives of the envoys from the three countries."

Madam Mu screamed in shock: "Your Majesty's order?"

The two Master Mu blurted out at the same time: "Why is even His Majesty starting to ask about the Second Miss Shen?"

Lord Mu Yun was unhappy that they interrupted his daughter and urged them to continue.

"The queen also felt strange at first, so she asked someone to find out. It turned out that yesterday, because my father and Prince Zhong wanted to ask for the second daughter of the Marquis of Anbo's mansion to marry their son, the three adults had a dispute outside the Meridian Gate. Your Majesty knew about this."

Madam Mu didn't understand for a moment, and looked at her husband in confusion, "Duke, when did we ask to marry Miss Shen Er? Where did this come from?"

The Duke's son Mu Wenjing also didn't know, and asked, "Father, you and the other two adults were arguing at the Meridian Gate? What's going on?"

Although Mu Yejun knew about what happened at the Meridian Gate yesterday, he did not expect that His Majesty would know about the marriage incident.

Lord Mu Yun just realized that the incident yesterday had alarmed His Majesty, but His Majesty did not ask a single question at the morning court today. He immediately said with a headache: "It seems that the Duke's Mansion and the Prince Zhong's Mansion are not just seeking marriage, but who marries the second daughter of the Marquis' Mansion is directly related to the face and victory of the two mansions."

When Mu Chuchu heard her father's words, she tightly grasped the silk skirt she had just put on with both hands. The silk skirt became wrinkled in her delicate hands, just like her heart at the moment, twisted and ugly.
