Chapter 77: The Truth About Being Under House Arrest

He turned his head slowly, and casually looked at the wall of the hall, where there was the picture of He Zong's peony that he had asked Nanfeng to buy for ten thousand taels of silver that day.

Looking at it, Rong Chen felt that something was wrong.

I couldn't help but get up and watch it up close.

The picture hanging on that house is not a picture of He Zong's treasured peony, but the fake that Shen Nianzhen painted at the beginning!

Isn't this dead old man known as fiery eyes? Isn't it claimed to be the most obsessed with He Zong's paintings? Can't even tell the truth from the fake?

Rong Chen's mouth opened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Over there, Doctor Ge was still chattering: "In the future, if you kid dares to treat a girl badly, my old man will never let you go!" ”

Rong Chen glanced at him slowly, smiled slightly, and sat down without saying anything.

An hour later, a few dishes made by Shen Nianzhen were ready.

Scallion pancakes, shredded chicken noodles, hibiscus cakes, bean paste crisps, thin-skinned shrimp dumplings, hand-torn salt-baked chicken, scallion roasted pork ribs, and a large bowl of fragrant and tender crucian carp soup, the breeze blows, and the fragrance wafts all over the yard.

Doctor Ge was already drooling, sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, and said enthusiastically to Shen Nianzhen: "Girl, I've been busy for a long time, sit down and eat!" ”

As for Rong Chen, he is the air.

Rong Chen was not angry, his status was noble, and even Shen Nianzhen trembled with fear when he heard it, but this Doctor Ge didn't seem to care at all.

Every time they met, the two of them had to fight for seven or eight hundred rounds.

Now, Rong Chen is too lazy to bother with him.

After all, he still has to use Doctor Ge's medical skills to treat his mother, doesn't he?

Xu didn't have a meal in the Taishi Mansion, Rong Chen ate the dishes made by Shen Nianzhen himself, and he only felt very appetizing.

He couldn't help but think in his heart that it would not be a loss to marry such a woman and go home.

Even if you don't love it one day, you can still let her be a cook, can't you?

No matter how bad it is, she can still make paintings and sell them in the store outside, and she can sell them for a lot of money.

Rong Chen calculated carefully and found that marrying Shen Nianzhen was simply a good deal.

It's a great deal!

So someone who was eating showed a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and for the first time he picked up a bean paste cake with chopsticks and handed it to Shen Nianzhen's bowl.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but be flattered, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

Doctor Ge snorted on the side, took a big chicken leg and handed it to Shen Nianzhen, and said, "Girl, you must be wary of men's sweet words, these people, on the surface, they say it well, but in fact, I don't know what they are planning!" You have to be careful! ”

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help laughing, and nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Yes, master, the apprentice knows." ”

Doctor Ge looked at her well-behaved and very satisfied.

Rong Chen: "......"

It seems that in the future, I will have to think of something to let Shen Nian really come here less! Damn old man!

After the meal, Shen Nianzhen brewed a pot of Lu'an melon slices, and several people tasted tea slowly in front of the faint medicinal fragrance in the courtyard, which was very pleasant.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Shen Nianzhen remembered to go home after being reminded by the picture.

Rong Chen had been waiting for a long time, and when he heard this, he glared at Doctor Ge faintly, took Shen Nianzhen's hand and left.

Recently, he has become accustomed to holding her.

"Wait! Girl! ”

Doctor Ge suddenly stopped Shen Nianzhen, walked out of the house with a bag of tranquilizing incense, handed it to her, and said, "I remember that last time you mentioned that your grandmother didn't sleep well, take this back, and light a piece every night before going to bed, it is not easy to wake up at night, and people sleep peacefully." ”

"Master, thank you!"

Shen Nianzhen didn't expect that he would even remember the things he mentioned casually, and he also specially prepared a soothing incense, which was really unexpected.

"Girl, the old man has to call him a master, and he can't call it in vain."

Doctor Ge touched his beard and said with a smile: "And I have eaten so many of your dishes." ”

Shen Nian couldn't help but laugh.

Rong Chen snorted on the side: "Okay, okay? Can you go? ”

"Master, you stay at home, I'll come to see you when I'm free." Shen Nianzhen smiled sweetly, said goodbye to Doctor Ge, and then came out with Rong Chen.

In the carriage, Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen's happy appearance, and felt very uncomfortable.

I gave me priceless pearls, but I didn't see her so happy!

Shen Nianzhen didn't notice that the danger was approaching, he lowered his head and stroked the soothing incense tablets in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was happy, when suddenly a shadow fell in front of him, Rong Chen said with a smile: "You like this incense tablets very much?" ”

Shen Nianzhen instinctively woke up, stepped back a little, looked at Rong Chen and said with a smile: "I like the pearl that the prince gave me, and I like it too, and this hairpin ......"

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the hairpin on his sideburns, revealing a flattering smile.

She went to the Tao like this, Rong Chen couldn't bear to be harsh.

"In the future, keep me away from this old man, and wait for the palace to investigate his true identity."

There is no need for him to remind him, what kind of person Doctor Ge is, Shen Nianzhen knew it in his previous life. Hearing this, Shen Nianzhen raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Chen, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared: "He is my master, and it is a matter of course for me to go to see him." ”

"Disobedient?"

Rong Chen raised his eyebrows.

Shen Nianzhen silently stretched out his hand, took out the pearl just now, took off the hairpin on his sideburns, and silently pushed him over: "I, Shen Nianzhen, am born rebellious and don't like to change, if Your Highness is not satisfied, you can withdraw from the marriage." ”

Rong Chen watched her actions, and anger accumulated in her pupils little by little, as if gathering a raging storm.

Shen Nianzhen was not afraid at all.

"Do you know that getting out of the marriage will bring you into disrepute? Will it make the Shen family fall into ridicule? In your life, you will never be able to marry again! ”

Rong Chen stared at her and said word by word.

"I know." Shen Nianzhen smiled softly: "The Tao is not the same, instead of marrying into His Highness's mansion and being frightened every day, it is better to find a courtyard alone and live a free life, no conspiracy, no calculation, and the years are good." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Nianzhen's eyes showed a look of yearning.

After experiencing such an unbearable marriage in the previous life, she is actually very Buddhist in this life, and it doesn't matter if she marries someone or not.

Rong Chen was deeply shocked.

He saw a trace of disgust for the world in Shen Nianzhen's eyes.

is like experiencing Su Muwan's abandonment, and he hated to destroy everything.

What happened to make such a cardamom girl so world-weary?

A hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

"Okay, who do you want to meet, this palace doesn't restrict you." Rong Chen compromised and said: "But you yourself must always remember that you are my Rong Chen's fiancΓ©e!" If you dare to do the slightest betrayal of the palace, the palace will let the entire Shen family give you a funeral, do you know? ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at the undisguised anger in his eyes and knew that this was true.

With Rong Chen's disregardless temperament, of course he did it.

"Okay."

She nodded, also took a step back, and said: "I know my identity, and I will definitely not discredit you, but you can't use your identity to be suspicious all day long, so not only will you be tired, but I will also be tired." ”

"One more thing."

Rong Chen stared at her and said, "When you go back to the house later, you will go and take out the letter of resignation and hand it to the palace, I know you didn't tear it up!" If you say such a thing as divorce, every time you say it, I will personally call someone and beat Shen Yunlan violently......"

"My eldest brother didn't mess with you! What do you hit him for! ”

Shen Nianzhen said speechlessly.

"Then you'd better not say any more." Rong Chen's tone was cold.

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

She muttered: "The reason why I said to withdraw from the marriage is that I am still angry with you!" ”

"Really?" Rong Chen raised his eyebrows: "That's good, this palace will try to be less angry with you in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it." Shen Nianzhen smiled at this time.

Before she could say something, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then Nanfeng's voice sounded outside: "Your Highness, Lan Gui Pavilion has arrived." ”

Lan Kwai Court? The confectionery shop in Kyoto that is famous for making sweets?

Shen Nianzhen was slightly surprised, Rong Chen had already lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage in a dashing manner, and looked back at her: "Come down." ”

Shen Nianzhen immediately handed him his hand and slowly got out of the carriage.

"What did Your Highness bring me here for?"

"You said before that your grandmother likes to eat the poria cakes made by this family, so buy some and bring them back later." Rong Chen looked away, and said a little uncomfortably.

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

Is this still angry with Doctor Ge? When people send soothing incense, he will send pastries!

In short, you can't be left behind.

"Your Highness, I finally understand how your reputation came from." Shen Nianzhen said meaningfully.

Rong Chen snorted coldly, noncommittal, and walked forward.

Shen Nianzhen smiled and led Ruhua to follow.

Lan Kwai Pavilion is a century-old shop in Beijing, which has just been renovated recently, and the faΓ§ade shop looks very new, and people who come to buy pastries come and go, in an endless stream.

Shen Nianzhen was walking, and suddenly a group of people rushed out of the street not far from the side, chasing an unkempt and shabby woman, who stumbled and ran, and ran in front of Shen Nianzhen.

"Dead slut! I'll see where you're going! ”

The chasers chased after each other in an uproar.

"Miss! Help me! Please save me! Seeing that there was no escape, the unkempt woman suddenly knelt down with a thud and hugged Shen Nianzhen's thighs with open arms.

Shen Nianzhen was startled, and before she could speak, the woman who pounced on her was kicked out by Rong Chen, who rushed over, with a black face.

With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground and fainted.

When the chasing person saw that she had fainted, he immediately did not give up, pointed at Rong Chen and others and shouted: "Oops! Killed! ”

"Shut up!" Rong Chen snorted coldly and glared angrily: "She just fainted!" ”

Those people saw that he was well-dressed, his face was beautiful, and the cold ice contained in his eyes froze to death, and they knew that they had run into an iron plate this time, and they didn't dare to say a word at the moment, so they hurriedly responded yes, and went over to drag the woman who was kicked and stunned away.

But at this moment, Shen Nianzhen suddenly said, "Wait a minute!" ”

She walked over slowly, not disgusted by the dirt on the woman's body, and bent down to gently brush up her hair, which covered half of her face, revealing a beautiful and similar face.

"Smoke girl?" Shen Nianzhen was a little surprised and said, "She's not...... Is Su Ergongzi's woman? ”

On that day, on the outskirts of Beijing, Su Yunmu brought Ruyan, a woman from the Qinglou, to race horses with them, and then encountered danger halfway, all kinds of things happened, and this Ruyan girl was finally rescued by His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Later, Rong Chen beat the three princes so badly that he couldn't get out of bed, and the fuse was also this smoke-like girl.

Shen Nianzhen silently turned his head and looked at Rong Chen.

Rong Chen's face really changed slowly, and he glanced coldly at Ruyan, who had fallen to the ground and had passed out, and slowly spoke: "What's going on?" Why are you chasing her? ”

"She's the number one brand in our Drunken Red Mansion! Disobedient and want to run away! ”

Those few people said indignantly: "This has nothing to do with a few nobles, right?" ”

"Coincidentally, it really has something to do with it." Shen Nianzhen smiled and replied, "When did she sell it to the Drunken Red Mansion?" Who is the person who sold her? ”

As far as she knew, although the Ruyan girl was born in the land of fireworks, she was a clean girl, and she was later redeemed by Su Yunmu.

How did you get to such a situation?

"What does this have to do with you?" The men suddenly became impatient.

Rong Chen snorted coldly and sneered: "You are forcing good people to be prostitutes on the street, is there any royal law?" This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can you be presumptuous! Come and take them to the yamen......"

As soon as those people heard that they were going to be arrested, they immediately panicked, and they didn't want it at the moment, so they ran away.

Rong Chen sneered, glanced at Ruyan who fell to the ground with complicated eyes, snapped his fingers behind him, and ordered: "Come on, carry her back." ”

"Your Highness, I have something to ask her." Shen Nianzhen said: "Why don't you leave it to me to settle down?" ”

"You want to rob people from Hongu?" Rong Chen looked at her and showed an unfathomable smile: "This palace advises you, it's better not to meddle in this matter." ”

Shen Nianzhen refused to give up.

"Okay." Rong Chen compromised, turned to Nan Feng who was waiting on the side and said, "Wake people up, wash them, and put them in the box in the teahouse opposite, this palace and Miss Shen have something to ask her." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Nanfeng picked up the man and left.

Here, Shen Nianzhen took the painting into the Langui Pavilion to buy dim sum for himself, without mentioning it.

When it came out, the colorful glow in the sky had gradually dimmed.

The south wind reported that everything was ready.

Rong Chen turned around, glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and said, "Are you sure you want to see her?" Aren't you afraid to go back late, your grandmother is worried? ”

"The Shen family is not far from here." Shen Nianzhen replied: "We can still keep up with the quick decision, and we can still go back to dinner with my grandmother." ”

"Quick fix?" Rong Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that things won't go as you wish." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the teahouse.

Shen Nianzhen led Ruhua to follow.

This is a small teahouse, at dusk has passed the most lively time of the day, when Shen Nianzhen and they entered, it was empty, I don't know if the south wind has cleared the scene.

Nanfeng led them directly to the box on the second floor.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Nianzhen saw that on the edge of the round table in the room, there was a woman wearing a pale pink shirt with her back to them, trembling slightly.

"Smoke girl."

Shen Nianzhen coughed lightly and walked in behind Rong Chen.

Ruyan suddenly jumped up from the chair like a frightened rabbit, and when she saw clearly that the people who walked in were Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, her tense expression slowly relaxed.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Miss Shen, thank you for saving me today."

She knelt down with a plop, and said with tears in her eyes: "If you are like smoke to be a cow or a horse, I will repay you ......"

"Don't talk about that, why did you end up like this?" Shen Nianzhen interrupted her: "What happened after returning to Beijing from the suburbs of Beijing that day?" ”

Hearing this, Ruyan raised her eyes to look at Rong Chen, and the light in her eyes immediately dimmed.

She sighed softly and spoke slowly: "That day...... His Royal Highness the Third Prince met me in the woods, fearing that I would encounter wild beasts alone, so he took me back, and after returning to Beijing, he secretly saw me several times......"

"What? You've always met with the Three Princes? Shen Nianzhen's face was full of surprise when he heard this: "Aren't you from Second Prince Su?" He also ransomed ...... you."

"The one who ransomed the slave family is the third prince." Ruyan interrupted her gently.

Shen Nianzhen was shocked again when he heard this.

No one listened to it all the time, Ruyan seemed to be very depressed, and now that she opened the conversation, she gushed endlessly: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince also bought a small courtyard for the slave family, and he would come to see me every once in a while, and sometimes rest there, and later, somehow, this matter was known to Miss Su......"

"She just let people throw you into the Drunken Spring Building?" Ponder the truth.

"Nope." Ruyan shook her head gently, and said with a bitter expression: "The person who threw me into the Zuichun Building was the Third Prince, and he used it to save Miss Su's heart, but Miss Su refused to forgive him, and slapped the Third Prince on the spot......"

Shen Nianzhen gasped.

Dare to take charge of his fiancΓ©, the third prince of the dynasty, and the only son of the queen's mother! This woman is really bold!

Su Muwan looks so gentle and supple, can she do this kind of thing?

Of course, the three princes hooked up with Ruyan and were by no means good people.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but applaud Su Muwan.

"What about the three princes? He was beaten, did he go to Su Muwan to settle accounts? ”

Shen Nianzhen said, looking back at Rong Chen.

But I saw that his face was as black as ink.

"Of course the third prince can't bear it, he went to find Miss Su, but the result is ......" Ruyan said, suddenly got up, looked at Shen Nianzhen cautiously, and didn't dare to continue.

"The result?" Shen Nianzhen asked.

"You tell the truth." Rong Chen said coldly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Ruyan glanced at him cautiously, and then replied: "As a result, he saw that Miss Su was with His Second Highness, crying in his arms......"

It's clear.

Shen Nianzhen immediately guessed what was going to happen next.

The third prince Rong Bing was already slapped in the face, he was not happy, and he saw his fiancΓ©e crying in the arms of his old lover, how could he bear it? It must be a vicious fight.

Where is Rong Chen who is willing to suffer, so he beat the third prince hard, and he couldn't get out of bed.

The rest of the story, everybody knows.

"Smoke girl." Shen Nianzhen looked at her with a complicated face, and said in a deep voice: "You have a low status, why did you seduce the third prince?" It also caused such a big misunderstanding between the two princes! You can't blame anyone else for ending up like this! ”

Hearing the truth of the matter, Shen Nianzhen didn't have any good feelings for this smoke-like girl.
