Chapter 197 The Evidence Is Solid, It’s Time to Close the Net

Chu Lingxi was unwilling to marry Gu Tingyan before, but Gu Tingyan analyzed the pros and cons of the situation with him and assured him that as long as he was powerful, he would never affect the love between Chu Lingxi and Shen Shuyu, so Chu Lingxi agreed.

But now, he has gone back on his promise.

After being exposed by Gu Tingyan, Chu Lingxi stopped pretending. After thinking for a moment, she said bluntly: "Cousin Tingyan, I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart. I don't want to marry you."

When the marriage was just decided, Chu Lingxi could still convince herself that it was all for the sake of being with Shen Shuyu in the future, and now it was just a small sacrifice, which was not a problem. But as the wedding day got closer, Chu Lingxi's heart was filled with worries. But his boredom became more and more obvious, until last night, he dreamed of Shen Tuyu. Shen Tuyu asked him why he wanted to marry Gu Tingyan even though he liked her, and she said she would never forgive him in this life.

Chu Lingxi woke up immediately, sweating profusely, and did not dare to close her eyes for the rest of the night.

After dawn, Chu Lingxi only felt that her heart was getting more and more depressed, so she went out of the city and rode out. Suddenly, her eyesight went dark. When she realized what she was doing, she was already at Prince Duan's Mansion.

Although the fall was not as intentional as Gu Tingyan said, it could be regarded as indirectly following his wishes.

Knowing that she would not be forced to get married within two months, Chu Lingxi felt more relaxed than ever.

Gu Tingyan didn't say anything, but just looked into Chu Lingxi's eyes. After a long time, she asked: "Cousin, do you think you can be with Shen Suyu smoothly without marrying me?"

Chu Lingxi did not answer, and Gu Tingyan answered for him, "I tell you, it's impossible. Even if you don't marry me, you can't be with Shen Suyu, because as long as you still want to ascend to that supreme position, We can only marry the daughter of the Gu family."

After being rejected by Chu Lingxi twice, Gu Tingyan couldn't bear it no matter how good-tempered she was, and her gentle voice was filled with a bit of coldness, "Chu Lingxi, you should know that it's never been me, Gu Tingyan, who is trying to catch up. I want to marry you, but you, Chu Lingxi, must be me. I am the eldest daughter of the current prime minister. There are many people who want to marry me, but since you have the blood of your aunt, I chose you. If you are so resistant to this marriage, I will go back and tell my father now that this marriage is annulled."

After finishing her words, Gu Tingyan sneered: "Chu Lingxi, remember, you are the best choice for the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you are not the only choice for the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After saying that, Gu Tingyan turned around and left. Her back was slender and straight, making her look like a noble lady.

Seeing Gu Tingyan's retreating figure, Chu Lingxi pursed her lips and felt extremely complicated for a moment.

…

Yininghou Mansion.

Because most of the preparations for Shen Qing's marriage have been completed, everyone in the mansion feels a lot more relaxed these days.

Shen Qing was reading the news from Qin Luan.

Zhou Xian has been detained for twenty days. During this period, Qin Luan went there three or four times. However, Zhou Xian never let go. He neither mentioned why he wanted to kill the Qin family nor the people behind the scenes. Wherever he was, he said nothing to Qin Luan except apologies.

Because he didn't help Shen Qing, Qin Luan's words were full of guilt.

In response, Shen Qing just returned to the passage: Just try your best.

Shen Qing felt that Zhou Xian's body had almost recovered, so he asked Chanyi to send a message to Lize, asking Zhou Xian to be guarded more closely these days.

Lu Yan's inheritance of the title was also decided, and the Qin Tian Supervisor selected the auspicious day of the second day of August, which was just five days later.

Coupled with the preparations for the wedding, Prince Jing'an's Mansion has been very busy these days. Lu Yan has not been here for three days in a row.

Without Lu Yan around, Shen Qing was a little bored, but Tuanzi was extremely happy. He stayed in Shen Qing's arms every day and refused to leave for a moment.

Chanyi's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, Mrs. He Sanshao is here."

Shen Qing was startled for a moment before he realized that Mrs. He Sanshao that Chanyi mentioned was Mu Lingyue.

Mu Lingyue's leg was completely healed as early as the beginning of July. However, she only came to Yining Marquis Mansion to meet Shen Qing and then hurried back. She disappeared for a whole month.

"Invite her in."

Not long after, Mu Lingyue followed Chanyi into the courtyard, her beautiful face looking much more relaxed than before.

Shen Qing raised his eyes, "Is everything settled?"

Mu Lingyue nodded, sat down opposite Shen Qing, and responded: "Well, it's all settled. Lingyue came here today to ask when the young lady is free. Can she follow Lingyue to He's house? trip."

Nowadays, although the He family respects Shen Qing a lot for her sake, if she really wants to touch He Wensheng, He Shilang will not stand idly by, so Mu Lingyue needs Shen Qing to be there to back her up. .

Seeing that it was time to close the net, Shen Qing was happy to help Mu Lingyue with the last blow, "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun, so let's do it now."

After finishing his words, he looked at Chanyi beside him and said, "Go and tell daddy that we are going to the He family to watch the fun."

Shen Yi'an had an old grudge with Minister He, and now that the He family was in trouble, it was natural that Shen Yi'an would be brought with him.

Mu Lingyue's expression changed. She didn't expect that Shen Qing would ask Shen Yian to go with him. In this case, it would be easier to solve the matter.

Shen Qing stood up and saw that Tuanzi didn't want to leave, so he just hugged him and went with him.

After looking at the sun and sky, Shen Qing looked at Mu Lingyue out of the corner of his eye and said, "It's still early. If we move faster, we can handle the reconciliation together today."

Hearing this, a trace of yearning flashed in Mu Lingyue's eyes, "It just so happened that I had packed up my things a month ago, and I can only leave when the time comes."

Shen Qing chuckled softly: "You are really fast."

Mu Lingyue's eyebrows were crooked, but her eyes were full of disgust, "The He family is a smoky place. Staying there for one more day will be torture."

The two of them chatted and walked towards the door of the house, when they saw that Shen Yi'an had arrived, followed by Xie Ling.

Mu Lingyue stepped forward and saluted, "Lingyue has met the Marquis and his wife. She specially asked the Marquis and his wife to come here for Lingyue's affairs. I also ask the Marquis and his wife for your forgiveness."

She behaved well, spoke and behaved in a measured manner, and looked like a noble lady. When Shen Yi'an saw her, she couldn't help but sigh: "Mu Linyuan, a virtuous man, could give birth to such a well-behaved and sensible daughter like you. I guess he has followed the Liang family." .By the way, is your leg injury healed?"

Mu Lingyue responded with a smile: "It's already healed. Lingyue suffered a murderous attack from the He family that day. Thanks to the Marquis who came to the palace to find the imperial doctor, there was no root cause of the disease in Lingyue. The Marquis is a great kindness, and Lingyue is grateful."

Shen Yi'an waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's a trivial matter. You are someone I value, so of course I want to help."

After a brief exchange of greetings, several people got on the carriage and headed towards He Mansion together.

…

More than half an hour later, He Mansion.

Shilang He was leisurely flirting with his beloved concubine when he heard the young man come in and report: "Sir, the third young lady is back, and she is followed by the Yining Hou family."

Minister He was immediately startled, "A family? All of them here?"

The boy nodded, "Yes, Marquis Yining, his wife Yining Marquis and Miss Shen are all here."

Shilang He frowned, what do so many people want to do? Looking for trouble?
