MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 663 Meditation x Xie Suzhi (7)

Mrs. Qi did not agree with Shen Siyi to go to the appointment instead of Qi Jingchun at first, because Tongpinghou was interested in Qi Jingchun.

However, Shen Siyi said: "As far as I know, there are many wealthy families in the capital who want to marry their daughters off as continuation couples, and they have been in contact with Tongpinghou one after another in the past few days."

"The third sister's injury was caused by you. It was you who made her unable to accompany the Marquis on a boat trip on the lake as usual. If we don't seize the opportunity this time, the purpose of the eldest lady will be in vain."

Mrs. Qi's face was ashen, and she ignored the provocation and ridicule in Shen Siyi's words.

It is true as Si Si Yi said, she must let the daughter of the Qi family seize the opportunity to marry into the Hou Mansion, so whether it is Qi Jingchun or Si Si Yi, they are essentially the same!

So, the next day, Shen Siyi was dressed up in a grand manner and sent out of the mansion.

Before leaving the house, Qi Jingchun held Shen Siyi's hand tightly. Her own fingers were swollen like small steamed buns, and her eyes were red looking at Shen Siyi.

"Sister...I have made you suffer this injustice on my behalf."

"Okay, don't cry," Shen Shen said with a small smile as she tucked the hair away from her ears, "Let's see how I deal with that old pervert Marquis and keep him safe so that he never dares to look for anyone in our house again. !”

Qi Jingchun was amused by her tone, but she did not forget to tell her: "Sister, you must protect yourself."

 Qi Jingchun met Tongpinghou twice before, and the old guy actually got into trouble.

　　I heard that not a single girl he met had his hands or face touched by him.

Not long after Shen Shenyi left, Qi Jingchun wanted to go back to her room. Mrs. Qi said sternly and coldly behind her: "Your finger hurts because it hurts. You must not miss practicing the piano. Play well, otherwise I will be angry too."

Qi Jingchun turned pale, nodded silently, and returned to her yard sadly.

 However, as soon as the door was closed, a figure jumped down from the beam.

"Jingchun, Mrs. Qi didn't notice the injury on your finger. Is it fake?" King Shu walked over quickly.

 Qi Jingchun nodded, her voice a little low: "No, even my sister didn't doubt it."

 Actually, Mrs. Qi always punished her like this before, so the King of Shu came up with a way for Qi Jingchun. Before he knew that he was going to be punished, he stuck a little cinnabar powder in his fingertips.

In this way, when the needle is gently inserted, blood will flow out, and the finger will look red and swollen, which is scary.

 But it only lasted for a while. I went back to clean it up at night and apply hot compresses and medicine. In fact, it was no big deal.

However, this time, the King of Shu asked Qi Jingchun to pretend that his injury was more serious, so that he would not have to see Tongping Hou.

Seeing Qi Jingchun's guilt, he held her hand: "Do you feel sorry for Shen Siyi?"

Qi Jingchun nodded: "Sister didn't know that my injury was fake. I originally just wanted to avoid seeing Tongping Hou, but I didn't expect that when she saw how badly I was injured, she actually begged for me in front of my mother. , would rather go in my place."

"Your Highness... I just saw the caring look in my sister's eyes and felt that I really deserved death. I should have told her the truth, but I lied to her."

Qi Jingchun said, covering her face and crying.

The King of Shu was extremely distressed and stepped forward to hug her body: "Don't blame yourself. It's my fault. I gave you the idea. What's your fault? You just listened to my words."

"However, things are not as bad as you think. Shen Yi's character is more suitable for dealing with those nobles than you, because she is not afraid of offending the powerful, and you are the direct daughter of Qi Mansion, you can't be like her, No matter how crazy you are."

"Besides, she took the initiative and said she would go to the lake for you. Maybe in her heart, she would rather marry Tongping Hou as a second wife than be a concubine for others. After all, a wife and a concubine are generally not the same. Women, you all know how to choose, right?"

Qi Jingchun raised her teary eyes, a little confused: "Is that really so..." King Shu nodded: "Of course, she has a different origin from you. She is a wild girl picked up by Mrs. Qi from outside. She has no background. What will happen to her in the future? , she must have been randomly married to someone else as a concubine by Mrs. Qi."

"So maybe she did this for her own planning, so don't feel sad and blame yourself for it. What if she is actually grateful to you for giving up this opportunity!"

Qi Jingchun pursed her lips and wiped away her tears, but she stopped crying.

　　It's just that she had a strange feeling in her heart. She had never doubted Shen Siyi's intentions before, she only felt that the other party was doing her best for her wholeheartedly.

 But what if it is true, as King Shu said, that half of the reason for meditating is for oneself?

Qi Jingchun thought in a daze.

That's right. Shen Siyi can't do anything to become a legitimate wife. Otherwise, how else can she get a good marriage?

Thinking like this, the guilt in Qi Jingchun's heart became much lighter.

She played the piano and let the maid sent to supervise by Mrs. Qi at the door hear the music. Next to her, the King of Shu hugged her, and the two kissed from time to time, just shy of crossing the thunder pond.

At this moment, the Princess of Shu was lingering on her sick bed due to the cold autumn weather. When she asked where the prince had been, the maids around her said that the prince had gone out to discuss official business early in the morning.

With Shen Shenyi on her side, she took a carriage and rushed to the lake where she had agreed to meet the Marquis. On the way, she opened the curtain and saw that the carriage was surrounded by the guards and attendants of the Qi Mansion.

“Tsk, is it necessary? Send so many people to follow.” She knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Qi to believe that she was really willing to come to the appointment.

　　Must be because he was afraid that she was acting like a monster, so he sent someone to keep an eye on her.

 But it seemed fine, she insisted on making Tong Pinghou suffer a little today.

 As soon as I get older, I still want to marry a young and beautiful girl.

 Do you really think you are the emperor? Choose concubines one by one.

 The carriage stopped by the lake.

 Shen Siyi got out of the carriage and saw the wind blowing on the water, and the sparkling beauty was everywhere.

 The lake in autumn has a mirror-like surface, reflecting the mountains and red maple trees in the distance, but there are also some tall and tall cypress pines that are still green.

The beautiful scenery of intertwined red and green embellishes the colorful autumn atmosphere. The breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness, and also blows away the calmness of the lake, causing ripples.

The white shadows of several waterbirds flitted across the lake, leaving behind a string of crisp calls, which added a bit of elegance.

 She thought the scenery was extremely beautiful. If she had nothing else to do, she would really like to rent a fisherman's boat and float on the lake in late autumn.

“Miss, that’s it,” her maid Anxiang pointed to a boat docked in front of the lake. “Look, there are many guards standing on the boat. Marquis Tongping must have arrived.”

Shen Shenyi's eyes were sharp, and his delicate face showed a hint of sharpness.

 Let's see how she takes care of this Tongpinghou.

Going under the boat, the maid Anxiang showed the invitation, but the two guards still stopped Shen Yi.

"The Marquis has given orders that the young lady can only bring one maid up, and the rest of the servants must wait at the shore to protect her."
