Reborn Marquis's Wife

Chapter 23 Sweet Trap

Linyang City is a huge town in the entire Ling Kingdom, no less than the capital city. Apart from the fact that the capital city is at the foot of the emperor and has many dignitaries, Linyang City is indeed comparable to the capital city in other aspects.

Speaking of the powerful people in Linyang City, there are quite a few. In addition to the prefect Shen's family, there are also many officials, big and small. There is also Dongfang Hou, who once accompanied the emperor to conquer the world. After the world was settled, Dongfang Hou will

After returning to Linyang City, the emperor thought that he was not in good health so he did not force him to stay in the capital. Instead, he ordered someone to build a large mansion on the outskirts of Linyang City that was comparable to a palace.

Therefore, although there is Lord Shen in Linyang City, the person who really controls the entire Linyang City behind the scenes is Marquis Dongfang. Marquis Dongfang has some friendship with Lord Shen, and they were old acquaintances when they were young.

However, these are all dignitaries of the official family. Another reason why Linyang City can rival the capital is that the richest man in Linyang City, Mu Mansion, not only controls the economic lifeline of Linyang City, but also has Mu Mansion’s shop industry in the capital. Therefore, Mu Mansion

Although the government in Linyang City is not able to rule the sky with one hand, it is still astonishingly powerful. Furthermore, after the promulgation of the Emperor's Order, the status of merchants has been greatly improved. They are no longer as humble as slaves as before. Although they are not the same as the real nobles

In comparison, they are not far apart.

Therefore, on this day, the old lady of Mu Mansion celebrated her birthday, and the threshold of Mu Mansion seemed to have been crossed. People came and went, and there was an endless stream of officials and businessmen who came specially to celebrate her birthday.

Ling's national customs are open, and there are no too conservative dogmatic restrictions on ladies. In the afternoon, the guests were introduced to the garden for the old lady's birthday party. Siya and Lan Xi came to the garden early to accompany several ladies to enjoy the meal.

While chatting over tea, Jin Han was always introverted and didn't like to interact with people. He claimed to be unwell and did not leave his yard, but Liu Yun never showed up.

"Lan Xi, why hasn't your sister come yet?" a young lady asked curiously.

"The servants have already gone to summon her. They should be here soon." Lan Xi always wears a gentle and elegant mask in front of others.

"Let me see, sister Liuyun must be dressing up, right? I heard that the eldest young master of the Shen family is coming to celebrate his birthday today, so he must dress up to meet his future husband." Another young lady covered her mouth and chuckled.

, her words attracted the echo of many people.

"Yes, I heard that my cousin fell in love with Mr. Shen after meeting him once, and now she is making plans to marry him."

"No way, Mr. Shen's wife is Sister Liuyun. Is your cousin going to marry her as a concubine?"

"Yes, she let it go. Even if she is a concubine, she still has to marry her. My aunt is worried to death now, so she asked me to just give her some advice."

"Really or not, after all, he is just a son of a magistrate. Your cousin can be regarded as a lady from an official family. She is actually willing to marry her as a concubine."

"Who says it isn't? My cousin's family is pretty well-off, but my mother said it's impossible for her to get her wish. My aunt is looking forward to sending her to the palace."

Gossip is always a woman's favorite topic. You and I chatted happily. Lan Xi sat aside with a graceful attitude and did not interrupt. She just listened quietly with a calm expression. If you didn't look carefully, she would be determined.

You couldn't see the flash of jealousy in her eyes.

Most of these rich ladies are legitimate daughters, and they always look down upon Lan Xi. Even though Lan Xi is very talented and charming, she is still just a concubine, so they all believe that the one who wants to marry Shen Yi must be a Liu.

Yun, although each of them felt a little resentful and felt that Liuyun had surpassed a person like Shen Yi, but even if there was jealousy in his heart, he couldn't talk to others.

"Is that Mr. Shen?" The woman's voice was filled with surprise. Because of her voice, everyone turned to look, admiration flashing in their eyes.

The man under the tree was wearing a purple robe embroidered with green patterns, with a long black silk tassel tied around his waist, a piece of mutton-fat white jade, and a soft mist gauze. His black hair reflected his dark eyes, as if they were crystal clear. Obsidian is clear and contains a kind of gentleness of water. The figure is tall and tall. Standing there, it is indescribably elegant and ethereal, as if there is no difference between heaven and man.

"You are really handsome." I don't know who it was, murmured to himself.

Shen Yi has none of the arrogance and pride that a talented and talented man should have. He smiles and greets everyone who comes up to greet him. His natural and gentle attitude makes people deeply moved. Fascinated by it.

The young lady who was chatting about her cousin's gossip just now couldn't help but agree with her cousin's admiration in her heart. A man like Shen Yi, who has a beautiful face, would be admired by everyone.

"Oh my god, he's coming over." A young lady shouted softly, covering her red face.

No one expected that Shen Yi's eyes would pass over the group of wealthy ladies who were talking about him, and fall on the light-colored figure walking in the distance, seeming to be frozen.

Applying a thin layer of pink and white, she is elegant and refined, unparalleled in splendor, looking forward to the radiance, and her aura is blue. No amount of beautiful and gentle words are enough to describe the woman in Shen Yi's eyes. She is seen walking slowly into the garden like a lotus. Come, his eyes were as indifferent as water with a slight smile, his gaze was deeply fixed, and he could no longer look away.

This is not the first time he has seen Mu Liuyun. The last time he came to Mu's mansion, he glanced at her beautiful and flamboyant face from a distance, but the wind passed by without leaving a trace. However, seeing him again today, the amazing feelings in his heart surged. I could only stare at her in confusion.

Recipe, Shining.

She must be such a charming woman.

I don't know if she saw Shen Yi under the tree, but the brocade handkerchief in the woman's hand fell down. The cool breeze blew by, and the light-as-silk handkerchief fluttered with the wind and fell in front of Shen Yi. He He was slightly startled again, then he bent down and picked it up. The soft brocade handkerchief made his eyebrows move. He took two steps forward and came to the woman. He looked at her for a long time and then smiled at her, "Miss Mu, you The brocade handkerchief.”

Liuyun couldn't explain the feeling in her heart. Standing in front of him, looking at him with his clear and clear eyes, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Such affectionate gaze was the most intense she had ever seen. She likes it, because only in front of such clear eyes like morning dew, she feels that she is unique and is treated sincerely by him.

It's just that... the fists hidden in the sleeves tightened slightly, and the nails couldn't help but sting the palms of her hands, reminding herself not to make the same mistakes again. She had already stepped on such a sweet trap once, and she was so stupid and cruel to him. Trample her to pieces, trample her to pieces, if she still persists in her stubbornness, even God will despise her.

After thinking about it, Liu Yun withdrew his gaze, took the brocade handkerchief, and nodded politely, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

None of the wealthy ladies looking at the two of them from a distance were willing to admit that Shen Yi and Liu Yun stood together, making people jealous.
