Chapter 359: A den of snakes and rats, the hatred of stealing my wife
Standing outside the mansion, Liao Yunfei felt that she was too shabby. If she hadn't come here in the mansion's carriage, the gatekeeper would have definitely chased her away like a beggar.
The looks that fell on her were full of contempt.
Standing outside the mansion waiting for her was the princess's second-class maid.
He looked at Liao Yunfei with contempt and said, "Let's go. *** is waiting for you."
At first, Liao Yunfei thought she had escaped Feng's clutches and was secretly glad. But after arriving at Feng's mansion, she couldn't help but feel nervous again.
The mission given to her by *** was to gain the favor of the prince and take away Ji Chuhe's position as the prince's wife.
Even though she paid such a huge price and almost died in the wolf's belly, she failed to achieve her goal.
I don’t know how to explain this to ***.
Will *** be disappointed with her because of this incident?
She absolutely cannot lose the powerful support of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager.
I walked into the *** mansion with trepidation.
*** is currently pruning flowers and plants in the greenhouse.
Liao Yunfei was brought in and immediately knelt down to salute the emperor.
"See ***."
*** didn't say anything, and Liao Yunfei didn't dare to stand up.
It was very warm in this greenhouse. *** was only wearing a thin set of clothes, and the flowers in the house were blooming exceptionally beautifully, just like spring.
In front of *** is a pot of lush flowers with bright colors.
She took the scissors and cut the flowers with a "click"!
Liao Yunfei's shoulders trembled involuntarily.
*** held the cut flower and smiled brightly, "Look at this flower, how beautiful it is. The moment it was cut, it made people happy physically and mentally."
Liao Yunfei didn't know how to respond and could only kneel down obediently.
*** walked slowly towards Liao Yunfei, put the flower in Liao Yunfei's hair, slid his hand to the side of Liao Yunfei's cheek, and finally, gently lifted Liao Yunfei's chin.
"This face is not bad looking, but it's a pity that it just doesn't catch the prince's eye."
"Please calm down, the prince has always been prejudiced against me, and Ji Chuhe's presence has influenced him, so he has been avoiding me. I know that I have disappointed you, please give me another chance, I will definitely be able to capture the prince's heart and replace Ji Chuhe!"
"Pa!" *** slapped Liao Yunfei with his own hands.
Liao Yunfei was beaten so hard that she saw stars and became even more frightened.
She was afraid that she would be like that flower and be easily abandoned by her parents.
"*** spare me, *** spare me." Liao Yunfei kept begging for mercy.
*** turned and walked aside, and the maid immediately brought her a basin of warm water.
After washing his hands, *** sat on the couch beside him.
"Get up, you have to remember, I never keep useless people around me. If you can stand in front of me, it means you are still useful to me."
"Thank you ***!" Liao Yunfei thanked him immediately.
"Someone, take Liao Yunfei down and settle her down. Practice your piano well."
"Yes."
Liao Yunfei was taken away and placed in an empty room.
The room was like an ice cellar, without even a charcoal fire.
Lian'er looked at the simple surroundings and groaned inwardly.
"Madam, even if we come to the *** Mansion, it won't be any better."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liao Yunfei immediately scolded.
"Yes." Lian'er shut up immediately.
Not long after, someone sent a guitar.
Liao Yunfei sat down and tried to play it.
It was so cold and there was no fire, so her body was stiff and her fingers were not flexible. Lian'er frowned when she heard the scales she played.
Liao Yunfei blew on her hand again and tried again.
Now it's finally better.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door.
The man was very thin, with prominent cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and a skin-and-bones appearance. His skin was very dark, and he looked a little creepy!
Liao Yunfei and Lian'er were shocked when they saw that the person coming was a strange man.
The man's clothes were different from those of the servants in the princess's mansion, and it was impossible to determine his identity.
Shen Chengjing didn't say anything, but walked straight into the house.
"You! Who are you?" Lian'er quickly stood in front of Liao Yunfei.
No matter who this person is, he cannot appear so unreservedly in the place where the concubine lives. If this gets out, the concubine's reputation will be ruined!
"Are you Master Xiao's concubine?" Shen Chengjing asked directly.
"Yes! Knowing that my master is the concubine of the prince, why don't you get out?" Lian'er immediately drove him away.
"I was attracted here by the sound of the piano. Madam's piano playing is really pleasant to the ears." Shen Chengjing looked at Liao Yunfei wantonly.
"Who are you and why are you so unreasonable!" Liao Yunfei couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be surprised, Madam. I am ***'s disciple. My name is Shen Chengjing." Shen Chengjing introduced himself.
"Shen Chengjing?" Liao Yunfei felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
"I live in the courtyard just across the wall. I was attracted by the sound of the piano and came here. I don't mean to be rude, but I also want to make the acquaintance of the concubine."
"Sir, you are actually ***'s disciple. I'm sorry for being so rude." Liao Yunfei's tone softened a little.
"I am an old acquaintance of the lady in your house." Shen Chengjing added.
"You know the prince's wife?" Liao Yunfei looked surprised.
"It's more than just acquaintance." Shen Chengjing walked to the piano and plucked the strings with his fingers.
Liao Yunfei immediately stood up and took a few steps back.
"Have you heard about the rumor about the marriage exchange in Huaiyang Palace?" Shen Chengjing asked again.
"I...I heard something about it." Liao Yunfei answered cautiously.
"Originally, I was the one who arranged the marriage with Ji Chuhe. Ji Qingyuan secretly admired me and secretly exchanged marriages with me, which resulted in Ji Chuhe being carried to the Huaiyang Palace. I didn't want to marry Ji Qingyuan and wanted to exchange her back, but Ji Chuhe was also determined to cling to the powerful and was willing to stay in the Huaiyang Palace. I could only watch my wife become someone else's wife."
Shen Chengjing was so angry that he punched the piano.
Liao Yunfei finally remembered it now.
She had heard of the name Shen Chengjing! He was the man that Ji Chuhe's sister married, and he was also the man that Ji Chuhe had originally arranged to marry!
Liao Yunfei looked Shen Chengjing up and down.
She was somewhat skeptical. Was it true that Ji Chuhe's sister had married him because she fell in love with him?
Is there anything wrong with your brain?
Whether in appearance or status, can Xiao Yan'an compare to Shen Chengjing?
She doesn't care whether this is true or not; it has nothing to do with her.
What she cared about was why Shen Chengjing appeared here! From his tone, he still hadn't given up on Ji Chuhe.
Could this be the real reason why *** held the birthday party?
If Shen Chengjing really wants Huaiyang Palace to return Ji Chuhe, and if some unclear things happen between him and Ji Chuhe, can Ji Chuhe continue to be the Crown Prince's wife?
