Chapter 43 Bai Lian Gets Married

Shen Jingxuan asked Li Yong to take Guizhi away, and Guizhi would tell him where to go on the way.

Yang Rui and Chun Tao's curiosity was aroused, but they didn't hear the result, and they felt very upset.

"Miss, where do you want Li Yong to send Guizhi?" she asked curiously.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the two people's expectant eyes and couldn't help but curl her lips: "I just won't tell you."

No matter how Chuntao asked, Shen Jingxuan never told her.

The two were talking in the room. Yang Rui was silently waiting for Shen Jingxuan's instructions.

As it gradually darkened, Shen Jingxuan asked Yang Rui to follow the people from the second house to see where they had moved to.

After dinner, Yang Rui waited for a long time before returning home.

He came to Yuxuan Courtyard and told her where the second wife lived.

The breeze is blowing and the night is just right.

Shen Jingxuan found a set of men's clothes and put them on, then quietly left the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

She walked slowly down the street, approaching the second house's yard.

Shen Jingxuan saw the yard from afar. The people in the yard had already turned off the lights and the whole yard was quiet.

She climbed over the wall, came into the yard, and walked through each room.

Shen Jingxuan came to Sun's room, quietly opened the door and walked in.

He casually took out the medicine he had given Li Luo last time and sprinkled it on Sun's face.

She walked back and forth in the room looking for something, and finally found an exquisite little box in the secret compartment of her cabinet.

After opening it and seeing the banknotes inside, Shen Jingxuan laughed.

She put the banknotes into the space and put the empty box back to its original place.

As she walked along, she even looked at the jewelry on the dressing table.

After leaving the room, she went to look for Shen Jinghuan's room.

He also put her jewelry and banknotes into the space, and even the few pieces of silver on the dressing table were not spared.

After Shen Jingxuan put the valuables into the space, she turned around and returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

They want to live a good life after leaving, then we will see what they are really capable of.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Shen Jinghuan's wedding. Li Yong and Guizhi returned home in the evening.

They came to Yuxuan Courtyard, and Guizhi knelt in the yard.

She cried and said, "Miss, thank you very much. I will never forget your kindness."

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Shen Jingxuan, and even Chuntao and Li Yong, who were usually thick-skinned, had tears in their eyes.

Shen Jingxuan waved her hand: "Get up, everything from now on depends on you, I can only help you up to this point."

After hearing this, Guizhi became even more excited: "Miss, you have helped me a lot. Thank you, Miss."

"Okay, get up. I'll let Li Yong take you to Shen Jinghuan later."

Shen Jingxuan didn't need Guizhi's thanks, she just hoped that she wouldn't betray her when she got into trouble.

Although she didn't care much about these things, who wants to be in trouble?

At night, Li Yong sent Guizhi to the outside of Shen Jinghuan's courtyard and left alone.

Guizhi knocked on the gate. The gatekeeper saw that it was her and did not stop her, but let her enter the yard.

She walked all the way to Shen Jinghuan's door and stopped.

Guizhi stood in the yard for a long time, and only returned to the servant's room alone in the middle of the night.

At the hour of Yin, the yard began to get busy, and Shen Jinghuan was dragged up by Sun early in the morning.

Shen Jinghuan was sleepy and complained: "Mom, it's not even daybreak yet, why did you wake me up?"

Sun pulled her anxiously and said, "Silly Huan'er, you are getting married today, why don't you get up quickly?"

After hearing what Sun said, Shen Jinghuan came to his senses.

She no longer needed Sun's help. She stood up, washed, and walked quickly to her wedding dress.

When she saw the color of the wedding dress, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed into a straight line.

Shen Jinghuan secretly resented that because she was given the title of concubine, she couldn't even wear a bright red wedding dress.

Shen Jinghuan gritted her teeth secretly. Although she was a concubine now, she would definitely be liked by the prince and would become a real princess in the future.

Thinking of this, she no longer worried about the color of her wedding dress and put it on. The maids helped her to tidy it up.

Sun pulled her to the dressing table, pushed her to sit on the chair, and told the maid to dress her up.

Guizhi was also busy at this time.

There were originally two maids around Shen Jinghuan, one was Aqiao and the other was Guilan.

After Guilan died, Sun arranged for Guizhi to serve Shen Jinghuan.

Thinking of what the eldest lady said, Guizhi's heart slowly calmed down.

No rush, we’ll discuss everything after we enter the Prince’s Mansion.

At daybreak, knocking sounds were heard outside the yard.

The bridegrooms from the Prince's Mansion came to the courtyard carrying the dowry.

They just had to wait for the auspicious time to arrive, and then they would complete their mission by carrying Shen Jinghuan back to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as the matchmaker entered the yard, she started saying auspicious words, which made Shen Jinghuan very happy and she even gave her a lot of silver as a reward.

When the matchmaker saw that the time was almost right, she urged Shen Jinghuan to get into the bridal sedan.

I saw a small pink sedan being slowly lifted up, with a maid and a matchmaker beside it.

From the looks of it, it's not as lively as an ordinary family's wedding.

The group went straight to the Prince's Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the guards went around through the side door and entered the Prince's Mansion.

At this point, Shen Jinghuan's long-awaited wedding was finally over.

After hearing this, Shen Jingxuan laughed: "Is this the man Shen Jinghuan wanted to marry?"

"I'm really looking forward to her future. I hope she doesn't give in too soon."

Shen Jingxuan was just feeling happy, but before she could continue speaking, she was interrupted by an old man who ruined the mood.

The third old man came to her yard at some point and looked at Shen Jingxuan with resentment in his eyes.

"You little girl, you keep thinking about these trivial things every day. When will you think about the affairs of the palace?"

Shen Jingxuan didn't like it: "Aren't you guys in the palace? I don't understand."

The third old man got even angrier when he heard this: "Do you still know whether you understand or not? When have you ever wanted to understand someone who you don't see every day?"

Shen Jingxuan blinked: "Then tell me, what happened in the palace?"

The third old man was not wrong. She really had never wanted to know what was going on in the palace.

But she would never say it out loud, lest the old man get angry.

The third old man hesitated for a moment and told Shen Jingxuan: "The palace has encountered some difficulties. Although the previous civil unrest has been stabilized, there are still some problems."

"Because the losses caused by the civil strife are huge, now that the civil strife has been resolved, we are now facing the issue of the livelihoods of our brothers."

Shen Jingxuan frowned: "Is it because the palace can't support everyone?"

"It can hold out for a while, but this is not a long-term solution."

The third old man gradually straightened his lips: "The great elder wrote to say that the news of the internal strife in the palace has been spread, and many forces are watching."

"If it's not resolved quickly, it will be a huge threat to the palace."

Shen Jingxuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room, frowning and thinking.

The three old men did not disturb her, but sat quietly beside her waiting for her result.

After walking back and forth for a while, Shen Jingxuan finally stood still.

She turned and looked at the Third Elder: "Third Elder, take Li Luo back to the palace first."

After hearing this, the third old man wanted to strangle Shen Jingxuan to death.

After walking back and forth for so long, did they just come up with the result of driving him and Li Luo away?

Why are you spending so much time thinking about it?

Doesn't she see him every day with the question "Why haven't you left yet" written on his face?

The third old man was angry: "Stinky girl, I'm asking you directly, when will you return to the palace?"

Shen Jingxuan laughed. She knew that this old man was just a bunch of nagging people but had no good intentions.

If you just want her to go back to the palace, you can just say no directly, why do you have to beat around the bush?

I think she still needs to be irritated, otherwise this old man won't be honest.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan smiling at him, the third old man knew that he had fallen into her trap again.

"When do you say you're going back?"

Shen Jingxuan sat down again: "Leave your address and take Li Luo back first. I will leave a few days later."

"Go back early and help those two old men."

The third elder saw that Shen Jingxuan was serious and did not seem to be teasing him. He walked to the table, wrote an address, and turned to leave.

He walked out of the room, turned his back to Shen Jingxuan and waved: "I will take Li Luo back first, you should go back earlier too."

Looking at his disappearing back, Shen Jingxuan knew that the third old man still didn't tell her the truth.

He was so anxious to take Li Luo away, something big must have happened in the palace.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan felt that it was time to go to the Red Flame Temple.
