Chapter 147 I beg for peace and separation
In her previous life, Mu Wanrong always blatantly robbed her things because of her favor. During festivals, she would rob the imperial concubine's rewards, rescue the victims, and rob her for meritorious services. Xiao Chenyan never cared about it. Now, she wants to rob her. Well, he himself is coming to snatch her reward!
Xiao Chenyan felt a little uncomfortable after being scolded by Shen Ruzhou.
He held Shen Ruzhou's wrist tightly and did not let go. The anger in his eyes disappeared in a flash and turned into gloom. He stared at Shen Ruzhou and said: "If I don't take a step ahead of you, you can go to my father and ask for peace and leave."
"That's right!" Shen Ruzhou replied decisively.
This is what she has thought about and dreamed of for two lifetimes!
"You..." Xiao Chenyan was speechless for a moment, feeling that all kinds of complicated emotions were blocked in his heart, suffocating him with boredom.
He didn't even bother to take a woman's credit, so he did this, firstly because of Mu Wanqing's letter, and secondly... He thought that Shen Ruzhou would use this promise to divorce, and he inexplicably didn't want to divorce her, so he used it .
Unexpectedly, he actually predicted it.
He stared at Shen Ruzhou in front of him, and there was no trace of love for him on her face. Did she even think he was annoying?
Xiao Chenyan's hand clenched tighter, almost crushing the slender wrist.
"Let me go!" Shen Ruzhou frowned in pain, "You have ruined my business, what else do you want?"
Xiao Chenyan let go of his hand, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and his voice was cold.
"I have said that the condition for reconciliation is 50 taels of gold. Don't take any shortcuts."
Shen Ruzhou rubbed his wrist and looked at Xiao Chenyan with disgust.
"Oh, so I'm still at fault? You used my reward to save that swindling Taoist priest. You still think you're quite honorable, right?"
Xiao Chenyan knew that this was unfair to Shen Ruzhou, and did not want to defend himself anymore, so he said directly: "What happened today happened for a reason, and I will compensate you."
Shen Ruzhou snorted coldly, "This is a huge reward from the emperor. How can you compensate it?"
"If I say compensation, I will definitely compensate you." Xiao Chenyan glanced at her coldly, took out a land deed and handed it to her, "I keep my word, this is the land deed I promised you before."
Shen Ruzhou took it and looked at it. It was really a land deed. She simply accepted it and looked at Xiao Chenyan coldly.
"Of course I want to take what I should take, and I don't want what I shouldn't take. I hope you will understand this in the future. I have no intention of arguing with you anymore. Leave now!"
She walked towards the door of her house with a straight face, but Xiao Chenyan stood in front of her, "I still have something to tell you."
"What else do you want to say?" Shen Ruzhou frowned, his face full of impatience.
Xiao Chenyan pinched his fingers, feeling a little depressed.
Shen Ruzhou used to stick to him all day long, but now she was impatient even if he said a few words to her.
His anger was boiling, and he suppressed the inexplicable anger and said in a deep voice: "Princess Zhaoyang's illness has always been difficult to cure. Since you said that only you can cure it, then you should treat her."
Shen Ruzhou's patience was exhausted and he said angrily: "Why should I treat her? No matter how capable I am, I can't afford to treat someone who targets me everywhere!"
"You can't shirk this matter." Xiao Chenyan looked at her and said, "The emperor has ordered you to treat the princess."
Shen Ruzhou's face darkened a bit.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were deep and locked on Shen Ruzhou's brows, "I know that she threatened you today. She was indeed inappropriate."
Shen Ruzhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed disdainfully, "What kind of justice are you doing right now?"
He didn't believe her in the Imperial Concubine's Palace at that time, but did he speak up for her afterwards?She really doesn't care!
Xiao Chenyan was depressed and frowned.
Shen Ruzhou said coldly: "Okay, since it is the emperor's request, I will go."
Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Chenyan said nothing more and said directly: "Then you pack your things and follow me into the palace."
Shen Ruzhou passed him by with an indifferent expression and entered the house. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chenyan followed him.
She turned around, opened her arms to block her, and said displeasedly: "Who let you in?"
Xiao Chenyan looked a little ugly, "Do you want me to stand outside and wait for you?"
"You can also squat." There was no emotion on Shen Ruzhou's face. "Let me tell you, I don't like anything about you now. If you don't want to humiliate yourself, don't piss me off!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the door, slamming it shut.
Xiao Chenyan stood there and clenched his hands.
Looking at the closed door, he was angry and felt a sense of disparity in his heart.
In the past, Shen Ruzhou was all about him and would never turn him away. Now, is he not even qualified to step into her house?
But, can feelings change easily? Why didn't he believe it so much? In just ten days of marriage, she had no love for him at all.
After Shen Ruzhou closed the door, he entered his room.
Miaodong came over with a smile and said, "Miss is back. Whatever you want to eat, I will prepare it for you."
"No." Shen Ruzhou waved his hand and poured a cup of tea to drink. He had just argued with Xiao Chenyan and his throat was dry.
She sat down and said to Miaodong, "I will go to the palace soon."
Miaodong asked in confusion: "Why do you want to enter the palace again?"
"I'll tell you later." Shen Ruzhou took out the land deed, handed it to Miaodong, and said, "Miaodong, go and sell this shop."
Miaodong took it and looked at it, then said with some hesitation: "Miss, this shop is in the most prosperous market in the west of the city. It is in a very good location and has a lot of customers. It will definitely make a lot of money. Wouldn't it be a pity to sell it?"
Shen Ruzhou didn't care at all and sneered: "This is what Xiao Chenyan gave to me. I don't want to keep his things, so I'd better sell them to avoid being upset when I see them."
She wants to make money from Xiao Chenyan, but she will never keep Xiao Chenyan's things.
Miaodong finally saw that Shen Ruzhou was dead set on Xiao Chenyan, so he stopped trying to persuade her and nodded, "Okay, the lady is not short of money now anyway."
Shen Ruzhou chuckled, "Even if there is no shortage of money now, I wouldn't mind having more money. This shop still has to be sold at a good price."
Miaodong said: "Miss wants a high price, but I'm afraid it won't be possible for a while."
"Don't worry, of course someone is willing to pay a high price." Shen Ruzhou hooked his fingers, and Miao Dong immediately leaned over.
"Find a way to spread the news about the sale of this shop to Prince Yu. He will definitely be interested."
Prince Yu is Mu Wanqing's husband and Xiao Chenyan's political enemy. Selling to him can not only get a good price, create a connection, but also create trouble for Xiao Chenyan, killing three birds with one stone.
"Yes, I will make proper arrangements." Miao Dong received the order and immediately set off to make arrangements.
Xiao Chenyan waited outside the door for a long time. Pedestrians passing by looked at him curiously, but he turned a blind eye and felt a little embarrassed.
No matter how unpopular he was, he was still a noble prince and a famous prince, and he had never been so neglected.
After brushing a fallen leaf off his shoulder, Shen Ruzhou finally came out with a creak.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her and saw that her hands were empty except for a purse around her waist.
Is this a way to treat a disease?
He frowned and said, "Why don't you take the medicine box?"
Shen Ruzhou said "No need" and walked past him towards the carriage.
Xiao Chenyan felt dissatisfied that she was too perfunctory and kept up with her.
"You've been preparing inside for so long and you didn't bring anything with you? Treating the princess cannot be taken lightly. You have to bring everything before you leave."
Shen Ruzhou acted as if he hadn't heard anything and got on the carriage.
Seeing that she ignored his words, Xiao Chenyan was a little frustrated. He reached out and grabbed Shen Ruzhou's sleeve, "Shen Ruzhou, I am talking to you!"
"I heard that, are you annoyed?" Shen Ruzhou took out his sleeves, glanced at him impatiently, and got into the carriage.
Xiao Chenyan's palms suddenly became empty. He watched her clothes fluttering away and stepped onto the carriage with a stiff face.
Suddenly, his head felt dizzy. He swayed and hurriedly held on to the outer wall of the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, strange scenes emerged in his mind...
