Marriage of the Di Daughter
Chapter 170 Common People
"You are the father of the child, you know it best."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Shen Yurong? Princess Yongning? Are these two suitable for a relationship?
Cheng Wang's mind was in a mess, and he said angrily: "Li Xian, don't talk nonsense!" Although he also protected the Li family, he didn't want the Li family to have a rift with him because of this, but it doesn't mean that the Li family can speak out about Yongning here. secret. Once Yongning becomes a person who doesn't love himself and has an affair with others before marriage, even his reputation will be affected.
The Li family is not such an impulsive person, why did they expose each other's ugliness with Princess Yongning in the Jinluan Palace today, and both sides suffered? !
In Li Xian's heart, however, he knew very clearly that no matter what, Princess Yongning would tell the story of him being a child prostitute. If she didn't fight back, everyone in the world would believe Princess Yongning's words, and their Li family would become a laughing stock from then on. She is in the first grade of junior high school, so he is not afraid of being in the fifteenth grade. The world's tolerance for what he did is probably higher than what Princess Yongning did.
And that Shen Yurong, who has been standing in the crowd, has done a very good job of protecting himself, no matter how the fire can be caught, he can't burn him, so he just watched from the sidelines. But why, why should Shen Yurong's evil breed be raised by their Li family, and their Li family is not being taken advantage of. All of this was caused by Shen Yurong, if it wasn't for Princess Yongning who was pregnant with Shen Yurong's child and wanted to keep the child, how could Concubine Liu ask the Queen Mother to give her a marriage earlier, so that their Li family suffered such a disaster.
In short, it has become a joke of all the officials, so don't even think about running away, and drag them all into trouble!
Shen Yurong never expected that suddenly, he became the target of thousands of people. Everyone stared at him, the kind of scrutinizing, mocking, and gloating eyes, which made him unbearable for a moment. What he didn't know was how Li Xian knew that Princess Yongning's child was his own. Looking at Princess Yongning's expression, he was obviously very surprised. It shouldn't be Princess Yongning who said it. As for the others, I believe that as long as Princess Yongning is not so stupid that there is no cure, she will not take the initiative to speak out about this matter.
What should he do? Shen Yurong, who was always alert, was really helpless at this moment. According to his original dislike of arguing with others, he should stand still, smile, let others look at him, and make an appearance of "being upright and not afraid of the shadow being crooked". But today, with Princess Yongning present, no one knows what shocking things this brainless woman will do next to make everything worse.
So his bland smile couldn't hold it anymore, he had no choice but to speak up for himself: "Master Li's words are not true, this is slander..."
"Whether it's slander or not, Mr. Shen is clear in his heart," Li Xian also said, "If you want to investigate, you can always find some clues. Mr. Shen don't need to rush to prove your innocence, there will be evidence to do all of this."
Originally, Li Xian only knew that Princess Yongning's child was not his own, but Li Xian couldn't find out who the child belonged to. Until the second night after Princess Yongning gave birth, inexplicably, he received a letter. The letter was given to him by the servant, saying that someone put it on the servant's desk, and it said it was addressed to Mr. Li. The servant gave it to Li Xian, and Li Xian opened it to see that there was only a note inside, which said that Shen Yurong was the father of the evil seed in Princess Yongning's belly.
Li Xian didn't know who sent this letter, and he didn't know whether what was said in this letter was true or false. But when he recalled it carefully, it seemed that Princess Yongning would go to every banquet where Shen Yurong was present. Even if Princess Yongning was not invited, Princess Yongning would show up for various reasons. When people reminisce, they always think of some small details that they usually ignore. When Li Xian knew about this relationship and recalled it with doubts, he found that there was something unclear about the relationship between Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong. unknown relationship.
Besides, apart from Shen Yurong, there seemed to be no more suitable candidates.
Just now, being provoked by Princess Yongning, Li Xian revealed Princess Yongning's secret, but even at that time, Shen Yurong still seemed to stay out of it, but Li Xian was sensitive to the fact that Princess Yongning was in a panic, and secretly looked at it. A glance at Shen Yurong.
It was this look that made Li Xian no longer hesitate to say Shen Yurong's name, and Shen Yurong was indeed not innocent, although he tried his best to cover it up, it was still evident that he was reluctant. Even his defense seemed so weak.
They are all smart people, and they are all tacit to each other. There are countless old foxes in the court, and some clues can be seen more or less. I'm afraid that what Princess Yongning said is true, and what Young Master Li said is also true. Mr. Li really had the habit of raising boys, and Princess Yongning really had a secret relationship with Mr. Shen, and married into Li's family in order to avoid people's eyes and ears.
Which is right and which is wrong, while everyone was shocked, they also had the right to watch it as a joke, watching it with gusto. Jiang Yuanbai stood quietly, with a smile on his lips, like a theatergoer. But he remembered what Jiang Li had said to him back then, why did he marry Princess Yongning to the Li family. He was persuaded by Jiang Li, and now he has confirmed that Jiang Li's words are correct. In less than three months, the Li family was on the verge of chaos. Princess Yongning and the Li family are tearing each other apart, not to mention Princess Yongning, in short Li Zhongnan has completely lost his old face this time.
The more unlucky the Li family was, Jiang Yuanbai was of course the happiest as the rival of the Li family, the Jiang family.
And all of this was because Jiang Li heard a few more words from others at the Duke's Mansion at the old general Ji's birthday banquet that day, and it was these few words that completely changed the fate of Li Xian and Princess Yongning. After thinking about it, Jiang Yuanbai looked over at Duke Su.
Ji Heng stood on the side of the crowd, even when he was making such a noise, it didn't affect him in the slightest. He stood there calmly, watching with great interest, obviously taking the scene of chickens and dogs dancing on the court as the actors on the stage singing and fighting, and he was just an outsider watching.
Jiang Yuanbai couldn't help feeling a little confused. From this point of view, King Cheng and Prime Minister You should not be with Ji Heng, otherwise, why Ji Heng could still watch the play so casually, I'm afraid he would have taken action long ago.
After all, King Cheng's incident is imminent, and one must be careful who is an enemy and who is a friend, and don't let something go wrong at this juncture.
When everything was messed up in the Golden Luan Hall, there was another person who was also a theater spectator, quietly observing every move of the people below. It is Emperor Hong Xiao.
He didn't stop Princess Yongning from speaking, nor did he stop Li Xian from speaking, and he didn't even give any protection to Shen Yurong, who he was very optimistic about before. He didn't speak, just watched these people tearing each other up, like a statue, lofty and contemptuous.
Until Eunuch Su signaled everyone to stop with a long voice, everyone suddenly realized that the emperor hadn't spoken and just watched silently.
What does it mean? Does it mean no matter what? Everyone found that no one could see what Emperor Hong Xiao was thinking, and King Cheng was also suspicious. His power grew stronger day by day, but he became more afraid of this emperor brother day by day. He couldn't wait to make an event this year because of this concern. He always felt that if he waited any longer, it would be too late.
This emperor is also growing at an extremely fast speed.
In the Golden Luan Hall, at some point, it became quiet again, so quiet that even a needle could be heard. At the very center of the vortex, Shen Yurong stood in a state of embarrassment, while Li Xian and Princess Yongning blamed each other, with no image at all.
Emperor Hong Xiao looked at Yongning and suddenly smiled.
This smile was even more inscrutable, making people unable to figure out what he meant. Even Jiang Yuanbai, who had been with the emperor for many years, couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"Since that's the case," Emperor Hong Xiao said, "I agree with you if you want to make peace with Li Xian."
...
The matter of Princess Yongning and Li Xian finally got out.
At that time, there were so many civil and military officials in the Golden Temple, and they couldn't hide it no matter what. Princess Yongning once said that only the dead can keep secrets. But with so many courtiers, she has no way to turn everyone into dead people. This dirty secret is doomed to be impossible to keep. Overnight, the scandal between the Li family and the princess of Yongning Palace, and even the champion Shen who has always been praised for his affection and unrepentance have become the targets of everyone's shame.
Princess Yongning obtained the Helishu as she wished, but this Helishu cost her a huge price. Not only did she fail to take revenge on Li Xian for killing her son, but she also involved herself in it. Li Xian actually involved Shen Yurong. Although Hong Xiaodi's attitude is intriguing, he only agreed to the reconciliation, but did not go into details, such as whether Li Xian raised a boy, whether Princess Yongning had a secret relationship with Shen Yurong. But the three became tigers, there is no basis for it, and it is still being rumored, as if it is true. This kind of thing, which is already true, is naturally a more certain fact.
For a time, rumors spread in Yanjing City.
Princess Yongning couldn't do what she said this time, "kill anyone who dares to speak behind their backs", because she was put under house arrest by King Cheng. King Cheng was furious. Princess Yongning's disturbance in the Jinluan Hall not only damaged his reputation, but also caused the Li family to separate from him at this important juncture. Another confidant of his, Shen Yurong, was also involved. Originally, Shen Yurong could be a pawn placed next to the emperor. Anyway, Emperor Hong Xiao loved Shen Yurong, and now he had to give up this idea. After this kind of thing happened, Shen Yurong's official career was not sure if he could continue to go down, let alone it was the same as before, and Emperor Hong Xiao valued it, so don't even think about it.
Jiang Li was in Jiang's house, did she know about this through Tong Er? It was actually Jiang Yuanbai who told her. That day Princess Yongning and Li Xian made a big fuss in the Jinluan Hall. After Jiang Yuanbai returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to call Jiang Li to the study and tell Jiang Li exactly what happened in the Jinluan Hall. At the end, Jiang Yuanbai asked Jiang Li if she knew about the relationship between Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong, and whether Princess Yongning was pregnant before she married into the Li family, did Jiang Li also know about it.
Jiang Li naturally denied it, and prevaricated with what he had prepared before. Although Jiang Yuanbai was still skeptical, Jiang Li didn't care. This matter is a secret between her and the Duke's Mansion, even if Jiang Yuanbai investigates again, nothing can be found out.
Tong'er asked: "Girl, is it true that Princess Yongning has secretly married Mrs. Shen?"
Jiang Li said: "Yes."
Tong'er said angrily: "This is really shameless. Marrying someone else while pregnant, but the Li family Li Xian is not a good person. It has been said outside, Li Xian is looking for those beautiful orphans everywhere Young man, go back to Li's house and do... In short, how can they reconcile? They should harm each other."
Jiang Li smiled: "If you don't get along, how can Shen Yurong be involved?"
"Yes, there is also Shen Yurong." Tong'er said: "What I said before was very affectionate. Others scolded his wife bloody, but they didn't know that while he was acting affectionately, he was having an affair with Princess Yongning , Selling fame for reputation, I bah."
Jiang Li smiled: "You still know the word "fishing for fame."
"Of course." Tong'er said to herself while arranging her clothes: "But I don't know why Li Xian and Princess Yongning have such a deep hatred. Even in this lifetime, people don't know the scandalous things they did."
Jiang Li smiled slightly, the conflict between Li Xian and Princess Yongning naturally lies in the non-existent "child". In the eyes of Princess Yongning, nothing is more important than her and Shen Yurong's child. For the sake of this child, she endured humiliation and married into the Li family, only to learn that it was Li Xian who harmed her child. It is absolutely impossible for Princess Yongning to let Li Xian go, and she happens to know Li Xian's secret again, so she is going to reveal Li Xian's secret to the public.
It's just that even Jiang Li didn't expect that Princess Yongning would break into the Golden Luan Palace directly, probably because in her past life, Princess Yongning was really used to smooth sailing. She thought that the Li family didn't have a handle on her, so she could only be dumb and couldn't tell if she was suffering from Coptis chinensis. How did they know that the Li family is a fuel-efficient lamp, and they will definitely come back with revenge. And the secret that the Li family knows is even more important.
But the current situation where both of them are hurting is exactly what Jiang Li is happy to see.
Bai Xue asked: "But the emperor didn't get angry with Li Xian, nor did he get angry with Shen Zhuangyuan. Apart from damaging their reputation, what else can they do?"
"It looks like this, but the officials of Mr. Li and Shen Zhuangyuan may not be able to continue. I think they will resign after three days." Jiang Li said with a smile: "The emperor is exactly as expected. This is why they have not been dealt with in any way."
Needless to say, the impeachment of the censors will fly to the emperor's desk like snowflakes. Even if Shen Yurong and Li Xian wanted to bite the bullet and persevere, they would soon realize the words "people's words are awesome", and their official positions were coming to an end.
In this way, Li Xian, who had lost his official position, would hate Princess Yongning even more in his heart. No matter how King Cheng tried to appease her, he might have a rift. And Shen Yurong, who has no official position, is just an ordinary white body, the Shen family who has selfish blood flowing from his bones, will blame Princess Yongning for all this.
An ordinary Shen Yurong and a notorious Princess Yongning, if they stay together, there will only be endless troubles and resentment. Without Jiang Li's action, they can kill their enthusiasm and replace it with only resentment.
At that time, the case of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao will see the light of day again.
This is her purpose. After planning for a long time, from the dark cloudy rainy night when she woke up, she finally came to a place with light.
...
The news about Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning spread throughout Yanjing City, and naturally reached the ears of the Ye family.
Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie had known for a long time that Xue Huaiyuan's daughter was the wife of Shen Zhuangyuan, but Jiang Li had always shown her support for the Xue family, and looking at Xue Huaiyuan, no one believed that Xue Fangfei was what she was rumored to be. I always think that Xue Fangfei was afraid of having an affair with someone back then. So the moment this incident came out, Ye Shijie and Ye Mingyu seemed to have finally found evidence. Ye Mingyu said: "I have long thought that what happened back then was wrong. Looking at it now, I am afraid that Mrs. Shen's notoriety is also related to this Princess Laoshizi. I am afraid they did not tamper with it."
"It's possible." Ye Shijie also sighed, "I've been an official since I entered the imperial court, and I saw that this young master Shen has a very good reputation, and no one said anything wrong with him. No matter whether it's the Shoufu faction or the Right Chancellor faction, he has never been in trouble. He. Although he is also very kind, I always feel that I am not very willing to get close to him. Now that I finally know the reason, it is hard to pretend for him for so long, but it is not appropriate to use the word affectionately on him. "
"That's right. Those officials always say that our business people are smart and powerful. At least I didn't do such hypocritical things. I talked about keeping my wife's filial piety while seducing the princess. I even have children. Still Letting people marry other people with their children, the officialdom is really fucking messy, but fortunately, I don’t have enough brains, so I won’t be able to be an official in this life. But Shijie, listen to me, you can’t learn these bad habits, we Ye family, you know, there is no such chaos. Although your third uncle and I have lived among thousands of flowers, I am not a leaf. At least I did not harm any good women. If you mess around outside, I will not beat you. If you break your leg, you won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of your life!"
What he said was so fierce that Ye Shijie had no choice but to respond: "...I know, Third Uncle."
Ye Shijie glanced at the yard on the other side again, and asked softly, "Third Uncle, does Mr. Xue know about this?"
"Understood," Ye Mingyu said: "Then Haitang went in just now, ah, poor thing, Miss Xue was really killed by that pair of bastards, if I were the old man, I would have to suffer to death."
In the room, Haitang was standing beside Xue Huaiyuan. She had just told Xue Huaiyuan what she had learned about Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong from the outside. Before that, she had also told Xue Huaiyuan about the sneaky actions of Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong when Xue Fangfei was still there.
Although Jiang Li had long insisted that Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong had been having an affair for a long time, and it was for this reason that the two killed Xue Fangfei to make room for Princess Yongning as Mrs. Shen. But in the end there is no evidence. Now that everyone in Yanjing City knew about it, Haitang was very excited and wanted to cry for no reason.
"Master," Haitang said softly, "Since their faces have been exposed. Wait a few more days, Miss Jiang said, after collecting all the evidence, you can avenge the young lady and the young master."
Xue Huaiyuan listened quietly to Haitang's words, his expression was very calm and calm, but his eyes were very sad, but he was tightly suppressing this sadness. He said: "Yes, Ah Li and Ah Zhao, they have been waiting for this day for too long. It's my fault for being a father, I didn't take good care of them."
"No," Haitang said, "Those people are too hateful. Master, please don't blame yourself. If the young master and miss are alive in heaven, they will feel sorry for you when they see you like this."
"Don't worry." Xue Huaiyuan straightened his expression, "I will live on, for Ari and Azhao... At least I want to see with my own eyes that Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning will get the punishment they deserve."
Haitang nodded.
...
In the Li family's affair case, at the end, what the people of Yanjing talked about the most was not about Li Xian raising boys, but when did Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong get together. She actually had a child, and boldly took the child and married into the right minister's mansion, Shen Yurong did not stop her. Although Emperor Hong Xiao bestowed the marriage, but the emperor gave the marriage without knowing it, Princess Yongning can still have many solutions, such as not wanting the child first, or explaining to the emperor, but in the end she actually used this method, It can be seen that he wants to save Shen Yurong.
Because once Emperor Hong Xiao knew that something like this had happened between his courtiers and the current princess, Shen Yurong's official position would definitely be useless. Even now, his position is in jeopardy.
In Shen's mansion, Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother were both there, Shen Yurong was sitting in the room, and he went to court as usual these two days. The emperor didn't express any opinion on him, and Shen Yurong could guess with his eyes closed how much the imperial censor impeached him. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't say anything, and Shen Yurong also wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but how is this possible?
Not to mention the teasing eyes of those people looking at him, what's more, on the way he passed by, he laughed and talked about this matter as if no one else was there, and even came to ask him, what is it like to be with the princess, and when can you drink? To the wedding ceremony between him and Princess Yongning?
Shen Yurong knew very well that these people thought that Shen Yurong would lose his official position sooner or later after such a thing happened, and for a person who would become an ordinary person sooner or later, there was no need to flatter and pretend to be calm . When the wall falls, people push it, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. In the officialdom, this principle is even more profound.
Therefore, in the past two days, it took a lot of courage to go out and return home from the road from home to Chaotang, from Chaotang to Shen's residence. And his courage was exhausted.
Seeing him coming back, Shen Ruyun said, "Brother, does the emperor have anything to say today?"
Shen Yurong said: "No."
Shen Ruyun patted her chest, seemed to be relieved, and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I thought this time, the official position would be lost. It seems that Princess Yongning spoke for you in front of the emperor, and this time I was surprised. No danger."
Shen's mother also said: "That's right, you took the opportunity to meet the princess and comfort her. If something like this happened, she must be very hurt as a woman."
Shen Yurong only felt deeply tired. He really didn't understand that for this reason, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun still had expectations for Princess Yongning. Don't they understand that after this incident, not only him, not only Li Xian, but even Princess Yongning may not be able to stand up.
Emperor Hong Xiao didn't say anything, not because Emperor Hong Xiao loved him as a courtier, so even if such a thing happened, he couldn't bear to punish him, but Emperor Hong Xiao knew that even if he didn't say anything, Shen Yurong and Li Xian , will also voluntarily resign.
Yes, he is ready to resign voluntarily. He also wanted to have the audacity to stay in the court, but after these two days, Shen Yurong found that it was too difficult. If he had to live this kind of life day after day, year after year, as long as he was in the officialdom One day, this incident will be repeatedly reminded by people, and even become a reason to attack him. He cannot live like this.
"Tomorrow I will explain to the emperor that I want to resign." Shen Yurong said.
"What?" Shen Ruyun and Shen Mu screamed at the same time, Shen Mu stood up, looked at Shen Yurong and said, "What did you just say?"
"I want to resign." Shen Yurong said very calmly.
"You're crazy," Shen's mother said excitedly, "Even the emperor didn't punish you, why did you resign on your own initiative? What you have to do now is not to resign, but to talk to Princess Yongning well. Since she has reconciled with Li Xian Now, if others know about your relationship with her, you can marry her, isn't that great!"
Shen Yurong suddenly felt a little funny. If Princess Yongning heard these words, she would definitely find them very helpful. Princess Yongning wanted to marry into the Shen family, and Shen's mother wanted to marry Princess Yongning into the family. She looked very happy, except for himself.
Although this peach blossom debt was incurred by Shen Yurong himself. But now he feels that if he can't offend him, he can hide it. He doesn't want this love debt anymore.
"Brother, you have to think about it," Shen Ruyun said, "If you resign, all this will be gone. All your previous efforts have been in vain. How will our Shen family live on in the future? You can't let your mother back Go do needlework for others! I’m in Ningyuanhou’s mansion, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive!”
Shen Yurong was also a little dazed, he was doing everything he could to get ahead. After entering the officialdom, he was promoted steadily, and when he reached this point, everything came to an abrupt end. He resigned from the official position, and everything returned to the beginning, with nothing left.
The prosperity and wealth are all in vain, and the grievances and hatreds are gone in an instant.
And Xue Fangfei...
He thought in a daze.
"Brother, what are you thinking, don't just stand still and say nothing." Seeing Shen Yurong's silence, Shen Ruyun couldn't help urging her.
At this moment, a servant from Shen's residence ran in from outside with a hasty expression. Seeing Shen Yurong, he said, "Master, something happened."
"What's the matter?" Shen Yurong asked.
"There are rumors outside that Princess Yongning was demoted to a commoner by the emperor today!"
Relegated to common people? It means that she is no longer a high-ranking princess, no different from the common people in the world, and has become the ant and common people she despises the most.
