The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Chapter 550 Shen Ruzhou pretends to be stupid and embarrasses Mu Wanqing

In the post house in Yongzhou, Xiao Chenyan had rich meals prepared and invited Shen Ruzhou to have a meal with him.

Shen Ruzhou had no appetite at all. He poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks out of boredom. Suddenly, a sweet smell hit him. Shen Ruzhou sniffed hard and raised his eyes to see Mu Wanqing walking in with soup.

She sat down next to Xiao Chenyan and raised her hand to fill a bowl of soup, "Your Highness has worked hard today. Wanqing specially cooked pigeon and lotus root soup to replenish His Highness's health."

There was an unnoticeable hint of irritation in Xiao Chenyan's eyes, but after all, he wanted to save Mu Wanqing's face and said, "Thank you," and took the soup to drink.

The smile on Mu Wanqing's face grew stronger as she looked at her, looking like a virtuous and dignified wife. Shen Ruzhou sneered in his heart, but pretended not to recognize her on his face. He turned around and asked Jun Wu, "Who is this girl?"

Junwu explained patiently, "Miss Shen, this is Princess Yu."

"Why does Princess Yu serve His Highness the Crown Prince? Does this count as... Hongxing cheating?" Shen Ruzhou choked on her words while Xiao Chenyan, who was drinking soup, choked and coughed violently.

Mu Wanqing's face was equally ugly. She looked at Shen Ruzhou carefully and felt that her harmless appearance was just an act.

It took a full quarter of an hour for Xiao Chenyan to stop coughing. He explained nicely, "Prince Yu has been demoted, and Wanqing had no choice but to marry him in the first place."

"Oh!" Shen Ruzhou pretended to be suddenly enlightened, blinked his eyes, and asked innocently, "Does that mean that if you are not willing to marry, you can find another man even if you have a husband?"

"This..." Xiao Chenyan was speechless for a moment, feeling that no matter how he said this, he couldn't answer it right.

Seeing his embarrassment, Mu Wanqing hurriedly said: "Miss Shen misunderstood. Over the years, Prince Yu and I have only been a superficial couple. I have always liked His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Ruzhou nodded, "I know, on the surface, couples don't sleep together, right?"

As she spoke, she looked Mu Wanqing up and down, and then said, "If you like someone, you should guard your body for him. How did you trick Prince Yu into not touching you?"

Her words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into Xiao Chenyan's heart.

Xiao Chenyan had known for a long time that Prince Yu was lustful, and it was impossible that he had not touched Mu Wanqing for two years after getting married. However, he had been trying his best to avoid this problem. Now that Shen Ruzhou had made it clear, he could no longer deceive himself.

No matter how good Mu Wanqing is, Xiao Chenyan's wife cannot be a woman who has slept with another man.

Mu Wanqing looked at Xiao Chenyan with a gloomy expression, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew that this was her Achilles' heel.

Her eyes were sore, tears rolled down instantly, and she cried pitifully, "I couldn't help myself, and I sacrificed a lot for His Highness's great cause. If Your Highness now despises my broken body, I will have no choice but to die."

As she said this, she was about to stand up and hit the pillar. Xiao Chenyan quickly grabbed her and said distressedly: "I know what you have paid for me, and I will not treat you badly in the future."

Mu Wanqing bowed to Yingying with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, Wanqing's whole heart is devoted to Your Highness. For the rest of her life, she only wants to follow His Highness and serve you."

Seeing the touching scene where Lang was in love with his concubine, Shen Ruzhou said "tsk tsk" several times, "Since you two are so deeply in love, I will reluctantly allow my sister to enter the house as my concubine."

"Becoming a concubine?" Mu Wanqing asked in disbelief.

Shen Ruzhou nodded affirmatively, and then said word by word, "The prince has promised me the position of concubine, so you can only be my concubine."

Mu Wanqing looked at Xiao Chenyan, her eyes full of expectation. She was waiting for Xiao Chenyan to deny this statement.

However, Xiao Chenyan did not. He admitted frankly, "I am very happy and want to give her the honor of the Crown Princess. You have always understood the general situation and I believe you will not embarrass me."

Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth in hatred, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball, but she soon regained her senses and forced out a virtuous smile, "Your Highness, Wanqing doesn't care about status, as long as she can accompany you Just wait by your side."

When Xiao Chenyan heard what she said, he nodded with satisfaction, "I know you are a general person."

"Know the general rules? Why do I think she doesn't even understand the most basic rules." Shen Ruzhou glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said seriously, "Concubines are not allowed to serve on the table, so why is she still so polite? Sitting here wants to eat with us.”

"Ruzhou, even if you want to be the Crown Princess, you shouldn't treat Wanqing so harshly." Xiao Chenyan replied angrily. After all, Mu Wanqing was also a lady and had helped him a lot before. How could he really treat her like this? Treated like a humble concubine.

Shen Ruzhou didn't take it seriously and started to talk about the rules, "I know that His Highness loves the girl, but you are the prince and you must set an example in every word and deed. The concubine cannot serve at the table and can only serve tea and water on the side. This is stipulated by the ancestral etiquette, Your Highness, please do not break the rules just for your own selfish reasons."

When Xiao Chenyan heard what she said, he had no way to refute, so he could only say with a stern face: "Etiquette cannot be discarded. In that case, Wanqing, please stand up and set the rules."

Mu Wanqing felt bitter in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey. She stood up and stood aside with the maid, serving Xiao Chenyan and Shen Ruzhou's meal.

Seeing Shen Ruzhou's proud expression, Mu Wanqing's heart trembled with hatred. In the past, she was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion and was favored by thousands of people. Later, when she came to Prince Yu's Mansion, she was also the uncompromising mistress of the family. Now she had to be a concubine and had to work with the maids to serve others.

How could she be so willing?

Shen Ruzhou looked at Mu Wanqing's face turning green and white, and felt very relieved.

After dinner was finished, the maid served tea. Mu Wanqing took it and handed it to Shen Ruzhou carefully. She wanted to take advantage of Shen Ruzhou's inattention to pour the boiling water into her hand, but unexpectedly, Shen Ruzhou suddenly stood up and moved too much, touching Mu Wanqing's arm. Suddenly, all the tea in the cup was filled with water. Sprinkled on her own hands.

Mu Wan's fair wrist was immediately burned and she looked at Xiao Chenyan with tears in her eyes.

"How's it going? Are you hurt?" Xiao Chenyan held Mu Wanqing's hand and looked at it, his eyes filled with distress.

"Shen Ruzhou, what are you doing?" Xiao Chenyan accused him while asking someone to find the doctor.

"I didn't mean it." Shen Ruzhou pushed it all away, and moved forward to check Mu Wanqing's injury very enthusiastically, "It's okay, the burn is not severe, just apply some medicine and it will be fine."

After saying that, she bowed to Xiao Chenyan and left, then walked out carelessly, not bothering to look at them again.
