Chapter 608 Let Him Wait for Death
Xiao Tingshan suddenly realized that it was not because Lou Yulan was appreciated by Concubine Jing that she was able to ask Concubine Jing to act as a matchmaker.
Now it was not because Shen Jingyu could humiliate her more that her stepmother agreed to the marriage.
But from the very beginning, all of this was Concubine Jing's plan.
Now, Shen Jingyu had just reached some kind of deal with her, and the bargaining chip of this deal might be exactly what she wanted!
No, no, no, if that's the case, then why does Shen Jingyu think she will be able to gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion in the future?
By the favor of Concubine Jing?
It's a bit too far...
Xiao Tingshan had actually been doubting it since three days ago, but the time was too short and he was happy to see the marriage happen. The marriage had been approved by Duke Chengguo and his wife, so it was not his turn to comment.
My mind was racing, but I couldn't figure it out.
It was not until the wife of Duke Chengguo went back to change her clothes that Xiao Tingshan's eyes fell on Shen Jingyu: "I have always been close to the Third Prince. When you enter the palace to meet the Empress Jing, you should be careful in what you say and do."
Hearing his hidden meaning, Shen Jingyu immediately invited him to take a walk in the yard.
Until everyone around them was far away, Shen Jingyu said: "The Third Prince is surrounded by talented people and has many helpers. My husband is insignificant in front of the prince. Unless you have made great contributions, it will be difficult for the prince to use you."
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan slowly clenched his hands behind his back.
He didn't like women who took advantage of their knowledge of the situation to speak arrogantly and give orders in front of him.
Be smart!
Unfortunately, Shen Jingyu had obviously made up her mind.
"Besides, I have already planned to make a suggestion to Concubine Jing. I think that the Third Prince will no longer regard my husband as his confidant in the future. My husband might as well take this opportunity to make a new choice."
Shen Jingyu's attitude made Song Tingshan so angry that he was fuming!
So, she, a woman, actually wanted to decide her own future!
"Jingyu, you and I are one as husband and wife. Your every word and action represents my decision. Should you..."
Before Xiao Tingshan finished speaking, he heard Shen Jingyu say, "My husband is not feeling well. You don't need to worry too much about such a small matter. Jingyu understands that you and I are one as husband and wife, so she will naturally not harm my husband. Just trust me."
Shen Jingyu spoke frankly and calmly, but her attitude made Song Tingshan feel indescribably aggrieved.
She was hinting at the fact that after years of planning, he could only get a sixth-rank official position?
Shen Jingyu was afraid of his background, so she spoke politely, but she was used to being strong and arrogant, and she didn't understand that for someone like Song Tingshan who survived in the darkness and cracks, every word would touch his pain points.
He is sensitive, selfish and suspicious, good at disguise and has no bottom line.
"Of course I believe you, but Concubine Jing seems gentle but is actually cunning, and the Eighth Prince..."
Xiao Tingshan stopped talking halfway and continued, "What do you plan to discuss with Concubine Jing? Why don't you talk to your husband first, and then we can discuss it together and make a decision."
Shen Jingyu said, "No need. I have already promised Concubine Jing. If I break my promise at this time, it will only make my husband vulnerable."
As soon as Shen Jingyu finished speaking, the wife of Duke Chengguo had already changed into a dark green brocade robe and came out, smiling and saying, "Let's go."
Shen Jingyu bowed to Song Tingshan and left without looking back.
Watching the two people get on the carriage, Song Tingshan felt extremely aggrieved. He had a lot of anger in his heart but had no place to vent it, but he had to maintain his outward composure.
When he returned to his study, Xiao Tingshan slapped the table and said, "How ridiculous! This is absolutely ridiculous!!!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as he finished speaking, Song Tingshan started coughing violently again and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Young Master!" Song Ren's eyes turned red and he felt heartbroken.
Xiao Tingshan rubbed his temples, his vision darkening. He suddenly wondered whether the decision he made in such a hurry was right or wrong.
Shen Jingyu seemed to be well-educated, virtuous and talented, but in fact, she was ambitious and arbitrary. If you put such a person in your own courtyard, it would be difficult to keep her in peace.
"I'll go get the doctor!" Song Ren ran out in a hurry.
"No need, go to the Lou family and discuss with Madam Lou to take Yulan into the mansion as a concubine as soon as possible."
In comparison, he feels more at ease with a woman like Lou Yulan, whose heart and eyes are devoted to him.
In other words, more control.

"Miss, Shen Jingyu entered the palace early this morning with the wife of Duke Cheng." Yuping whispered.
Shen Shuyi has been thinking about how to make Concubine Rou confess her guilt these days.
These evidences seem powerful, but not intuitive enough.
The most important thing is that now, after so many years, if Emperor Qianwu wanted to show favoritism, it would still be difficult for him to put Concubine Rou to death.
A centipede is still alive even after death. If giants like the Lu Family and the Third Prince's Party are not completely eradicated, there will only be endless troubles.
Just then, Qin Xin came back from outside.
"Miss, thank you for your letter."
After Shen Shuyi took it, he read ten lines at a glance, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.
Xie Jingchi's witnesses have arrived in Beijing safely. It seems that the woman that the Qin family found for Shen Jingyu was of great use to him.
In addition, Jiang Li got help from Xiang Fei's family, and the Yuan family in Jiangnan also persuaded two important ministers who were willing to protect themselves. These two people will leave soon, so Jiang Li will be able to arrive in Beijing today.
At least for now, there is irrefutable evidence that the funds for the Jiangnan disaster relief were embezzled.
As for the incident at the Battle of Lushan, there are still people alive, such as the Chai family and the Ge family. As long as Emperor Qianwu conducts a thorough investigation, there will always be a breakthrough.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Shuyi said, "When Jiang Li comes back, ask him to go find Ge Tingxuan again."
"Yes."
Ge Tingxuan's surname is Ge. The Ge family and the Lu family are in the same boat, and Ge Tingxuan is trusted by the Lu family.
"Ge Tingxuan must find evidence within three days that the Ge and Lu families are slandering General Jiang Yanhu, or evidence that Xiao Heyu and Qiu Zehua are secretly communicating. If he can't get it, let him wait for death!"
"Yes!" Jianpo clasped his hands together, turned around and left.
Compared with the Chai family, the Ge family is much more low-key. She doesn't believe that the Chai and Ge families will not leave any evidence when it comes to such a major matter that involves the lives of the entire family.
Otherwise, if the Lu family gets rid of them, where can they seek justice?
"Let Jiuchou stay outside the palace and keep an eye on Concubine Jing and Xiao Yuncheng's men to see what they do. Once they succeed, make sure to snatch them away from me." Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice.
She was not sure what Shen Jingyu had in her hand. If it was an account book or a piece of letter paper, Jiuchou would get nothing. Then she could only exchange the account book stolen by Lipin with Jingfei.
But fortunately, this matter was not difficult. After all, Concubine Jing wanted to overthrow Concubine Rou's party more than she did.
On the other hand, after Shen Jingyu entered the palace, she told Concubine Jing the address of the nanny. After all, whether Xiao Heyu and Concubine Rou were in power or not had nothing to do with her.
In other words, even if Song Tingshan is now the prince of the Daqian Dynasty, they haven't even gone up to the table yet.
