Once the Crown Prince Joins In

370: She Just Doesn’t Want to Endure

Yan Junchu looked at Shang Junyan across from him, "What do you think, Mr. Shang?"

After hearing this, Shang Junyan spoke slowly with a bit of seriousness on his now more mature face, "Your Highness, if you go around Fengping Guard, you cannot avoid Ping Ning Guard. Weichen remembers that the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi married Ping Ning. Commander Ning Wei, if something is really abnormal, Commander Xie may notice it."

Su Xinyi has been to Pingningwei, but not to Fengpingwei. She set off from Huaining to Pingningwei, and then from Pingningwei to Jing'an Mansion. She passed Nanshang on the way, but Fengpingwei was in Nanshang. to the northwest, so she did not pass there.

Now looking at the words "Fengpingwei" on the map, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this time, King Rong looked at Shang Junyan and asked, "Who is the commander of Fengping Guard?"

Shang Jun said: "Luming Forest."

King Rong didn't know him. He investigated the granary case and didn't go to Fengpingwei, so he looked at the prince and said, "Brother, do you know Lu Minglin?"

Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "The Lu family rarely gets involved in the partisan disputes between the DPRK and China, but the family's behavior is like grass on the wall."

"Fell with the wind?" King Rong was a little disdainful, "That's a person with no bones. How can such a person become a commander?"

"It's not that they have no bones, but they always choose the people or things that are most beneficial to the Lu family." Shang Junyan looked at King Rong and said, "As long as there are enough benefits, the Lu family may not get involved. It's just that Now it is not certain whether the benefits of the granary can impress the Lu family and make them willing to provide convenience. "

Su Xinyi listened to Shang Junyan's words and looked up at him. Even he couldn't be sure?

So how was the case in the granary solved in the previous life?

Yan Junchu glanced at Su Xinyi's slightly doubtful eyes, and then looked at Shang Junyan, only to see that his eyes were staring in the direction of Fengpingwei pointed by King Rong.

The two of them were talking and doing things normally, but he had a strange feeling.

Yan Junchu withdrew his gaze, looked at Shang Junyan and said, "What are Mr. Shang's plans for this trip?"

Shang Junyan looked at the prince seriously and replied respectfully: "Wei Chen plans to send the imperial envoy's carriage and horse to Nanshang Mansion. Wei Chen secretly takes people to Fengpingwei for a secret inspection first."

King Rong said: "You are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain... No, this is called building a plank road in the dark to visit Chen Cang. This is a good method. Go to Fengpingwei secretly, maybe you can see something different."

At this point, King Rong felt very itchy, "If I weren't waiting to get married, I would also like to go there."

Such a big case must be very exciting.

Yan Junchu looked at King Rong and said, "Be honest. When King Yi comes to Beijing, you can also help me to test things there. Now I can't be sure whether King Yi has anything to do with these things, but since Suizhou is involved, I think It’s impossible for King Yi to be unaware.”

"That's not true. In a place as small as Suizhou, a slight disturbance can spread throughout the country." King Rong immediately agreed, "I'm just curious about how the legitimate son of King Lao Yi injured his leg back then. Brother, what are you talking about now? Does it matter to King Yi?"

Yan Junchu glanced at his younger brother and said, "If you want to know, go check it out yourself."

King Rong curled his lips, "Not that curious."

Going all the way to Suizhou for a little bit of gossip, King Rong didn't have that much free time.

Su Xinyi couldn't help but smile and looked up at King Rong, "You can also ask King Yi directly when he comes to the capital."

King Rong:......

Is there fool written above my head?

Yan Junchu also smiled and looked at King Rong, "Although King Xinyi has only been in the business for a few years, we don't know him very well. When people arrive in the capital, you have to proceed with caution."

But King Rong didn't care, "What are you afraid of? If he dares to show off his prestige when he arrives in the capital, then he is tired of living."

After hearing this, Shang Junyan looked up at King Rong in front of him and couldn't help but fell into deep thought again. The King Rong in front of him was completely different from the King Rong in his previous life.

In his previous life, King Rong was calm, serious, relaxed, and cautious. Now look at this one...

Shang Junyan sighed deeply in his heart. Ever since Su Xinyi met King Rong, his temperament had really let go. He was like a kite with its string cut off and could not be pulled back.

Thinking about King Rong who competed with the prince for the throne in his previous life, and then looking at him living a leisurely and carefree life now, at this moment, Shang Junyan suddenly felt that King Rong was happier like this.

Su Xinyi... Shang Junyan's tongue felt bitter.

Su Xinyi didn't sit there for long. After listening to them talking about something about Suizhou, she stood up and left. She looked at the prince and said with a smile, "Mama She is very in charge of me now. If she doesn't go back, she will come here."

Yan Junchu also smiled, "It's rare to find someone who can control you. Go back and rest. I'll go back and have dinner with you."

Su Xinyi responded with a smile, said goodbye to King Rong and Shang Junyan, and turned around to leave with his maid.

When Shang Junyan heard Su Xinyi mentioning Nanny She, he felt a little dazed for a moment. He knew that Nanny She had just been married to Su Xinyi, and it was only through Nanny She that he could stand on his own feet.

Of course, in his previous life, he heard from his mother that Mother She was a slave who often tempted Su Xinyi to cause trouble, so he hated her very much. One time, he told Su Xinyi to send Mother She back to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. That was that time, Su Xinyi's first Once he contradicted him and rejected him.

It was also that time that he knew that Su Xinyi was a person with a temper.

Seeing that she didn't want to leave Nanny She, he didn't force her. He just met Nanny She in private and warned her to behave properly in the prince's palace.

Now when I think back to what I did before, I feel my face hurts so much.

Precisely because Aunt She tried her best to protect Su Xinyi in her previous life, even though Su Xinyi has returned to her original nature in this life, she is still willing to be controlled by Aunt She and listen to her words.

Because she knew that Grandma She was sincerely doing her best and would not harm her, so she was willing to rely on her and believe in her.

Once upon a time, she also looked forward to relying on him and trusting him...

Shang Junyan came out of the East Palace. He had not thought about what happened in his previous life for a long time. He had always been a pragmatic person, but today he was rarely uneasy.

Shang Junyan did not take the carriage back home, but walked slowly along the street by himself.

Those memories that he had ignored are slowly coming back to life. Now Su Xinyi is vivid, bright, happy, and high-spirited. There is no need to ask her, just by looking at her, he knows that she is doing well now.

He remembered that when Su Xinyi walked over, His Highness the Crown Prince stood up to pick her up. It was so natural and he didn't think it was shameful to pick up the Crown Princess with the dignity of a prince.

He still remembered that after Su Xinyi sat down, His Royal Highness picked up the teapot and poured tea for her, and then gently placed the teacup next to Su Xinyi's hand.

When Su Xinyi spoke, His Highness the Crown Prince would look at her seriously and gaze into her eyes.

And he had been married to her for many years, and there was not a single thing he had done.

In other words, in his life beliefs, he would not do such a thing for his wife or any woman.

His parents wouldn't get along like this, nor would many couples he'd seen get along like this.

But looking at the way the prince and Su Xinyi got along, Shang Junyan could understand why Su Xinyi was living so well.

He slowly retracted his thoughts and raised his head, only to find that he was already outside the house.

He braced himself and stepped up the steps. When the concierge saw him, he rushed forward to greet him.

Shang Junyan nodded slightly and walked in. He mostly lives in Yamen now. He doesn't like to come back. Every time he comes back, his mother will urge him to get married. Sometimes he meets his sister and comes back. The mother and daughter make him feel a little suffocated. .

"Your Majesty."

Shang Junyan looked at his personal entourage, "What's the matter?"

"The eldest lady has returned with her cousin and young master. They have been staying for a few days." The attendant said cautiously.

Shang Junyan frowned. He shouldn't be back today. He turned around and wanted to walk out. Unexpectedly, he only took two steps when he heard the eldest sister's voice, "Jun Yan, what are you doing? You just came home and you have to leave again." , don’t you want to see my sister?”

Shang Junyan sighed silently and turned to look at the eldest sister, "Eldest sister, I just suddenly remembered that I still have official business to deal with."

Hearing this, Shang Yuqing said: "Then you have to rest too. I heard that it's rare for you to go home now. Now that you're back, go and see your mother. She misses you very much."

Shang Junyan had no choice but to pick up his feet and walk towards the backyard. As he walked, he listened to his sister say: "You said that you are now the eldest son. I wonder who of you is not getting married. What on earth do you think? Are you just dragging it out like this? , You won’t be alone in this life, right?”

Shang Junyan didn't say anything. He knew he didn't need to speak.

Sure enough, Shang Yuqing went on to say, "Your brother-in-law made me angry when I came back this time. As a younger brother, you have to support me."

Shang Junyan then answered, "Isn't my brother-in-law always a good person?"

"What's good?" Shang Yuqing almost exploded, "You don't know about his concubinage. Now that Hu Meizi has given birth to a bastard, your brother-in-law treats him like a baby. I tell you that this matter cannot be settled like this. ”

Shang Junyan turned his head and looked at his sister, "Sister, didn't you tell me which man doesn't have a concubine? Isn't it normal to have a concubine and a concubine?"

Shang Yuqing stopped and looked at his brother in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Shang Junyan was already feeling uneasy today. If his mother and sister hadn't instigated him in his previous life, he and Su Xinyi would not have drifted apart.

He was indeed nothing. His heart was not at home, and he did not notice Su Xinyi's grievances. He believed in his mother and sister too much, but he did not know that his mother and sister were planning to marry Yan Qiongsi.

At first, he was really disgusted that Su Xinyi used the trick of falling into the water to trick him into marrying her, but everyone married her, and later he planned to live a good life with her.

But...it was his mother and sister who instigated discord time and time again, and it was him who believed them without any brains, so in the end it was such a tragic ending.

What did his mother and sister say when they wanted to suppress Su Xinyi by giving him a concubine?

Which family has a man who doesn't have many concubines and concubines?

Why can't I bear it now that it's happened to me?

It turns out that if the knife doesn't fall on you, you really won't feel the pain.

Shang Junyan already knew that it hurt, but he also knew that it was too late to do anything. However, he really couldn't tell himself to ignore his eldest sister and mother's current attempts to control his behavior.

Shang Yuqing couldn't remember whether he had said such a thing. Seeing his brother's serious expression, he became suspicious for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "How can this be the same? I am your biological sister."

"So what? Aren't we all wives? Since my sister can agree with other people's wives to accept concubines and concubines, doesn't she have to set an example?" Shang Junyan said while suppressing his anger.

After the two siblings said this, they arrived at the courtyard of the Princess of Pingjing County. Shang Yuqing was so angry that her face turned black. She rushed into the house like the wind, "Mother, listen to what your son said. He is simply going to piss me off to death. I can't live anymore. My own brother is trying to persuade me to let my husband take a concubine and raise illegitimate children. What do you think of me as your sister?"

The Princess of Pingjing County ignored these words and asked, "Is your brother back? Where is he?"

Shang Yuqing: ...

Shang Junyan entered the door at this time and bowed to his mother, "My son greets me."

The Princess of Pingjing County hadn't seen her son for half a month Son, seeing this time, couldn't help but look at people carefully, feeling angry and resentful, but he didn't dare to be too strong in controlling his son's marriage, so he smiled and said: "Sit down and take a rest first, your sister is just such an impatient person, you two siblings have something to say, can't you talk it out nicely."

Shang Yuqing was furious, "How can I say this? I have never seen a brother-in-law willing to let his brother-in-law take a concubine, isn't this stepping on my face?"

Shang Junyan looked very calm, looking at his sister who was almost crazy, and suddenly remembered that in the last life, they forced him to take a concubine to suppress Su Xinyi. Didn't they think about whether Su Xinyi would be sad?

They used Su Xinyi as a tool, didn't they think about whether she was pitiful?

How much do you have to force people to make her willing to die with them later?

Shang Junyan thought of this and knew that if he couldn't make his sister change her temper, her ending in this life would probably not be much better than in the last life.

"Mother, have you asked what happened to my brother-in-law? You can't listen to my sister's one-sided story, unless my sister doesn't want to live with my brother-in-law."

"What?" Princess Pingjing looked at her son in astonishment, "What do you mean?"

Shang Junyan felt that he was very calm at the moment, so calm that it was even unreasonable. He said slowly: "Just as mother and sister told me before, which young master doesn't have concubines and illegitimate children? Isn't it normal for my brother-in-law to take concubines and give birth to illegitimate children? Or is it normal for others to have such things, but I can't stand it when it happens to me?"

Princess Pingjing felt that her son was so cold and chilling now. She said angrily: "This is your own sister, how can she be the same as others?"

"Aren't others the apple of their parents' eyes?" Shang Junyan said again.

Princess Pingjing was so angry that her face turned black, "What are you talking about?"

"Does my brother-in-law favor his concubine and kill his wife? Does he suppress illegitimate children over legitimate children?" Shang Junyan asked, staring at his sister.

Shang Yuqing stammered for a long time, of course not.

Shang Junyan saw his sister's expression and understood, and then said: "Since there are no above two points, why did my sister ask me to seek justice from my brother-in-law?"

Shang Yuqing was so angry that his heart was beating fast, and his hands were shaking as he pointed at his brother, his face was dark blue, "How do you want him to live freely? Do you have to step on the faces of us mother and son to be happy?"

"As far as I know, my brother-in-law's concubine was given by the upper echelons. She was born in a humble family and only relied on her beauty to serve others. How can she compare with my sister? As long as the concubine's face gets old in a few years, what is there to fear, sister?"

"I just don't want to endure it!"

"Then why did my sister tell mother before that I would marry a wife first, and then take in a few concubines, So in my sister's eyes, my future wife is someone who can tolerate? You can arrange it however you want. "

Shang Yuqing's face turned pale, "I just said it casually, how can you take it seriously. "

"Unintentional words are what you think in your heart. "Shang Junyan stood up, "I am very fortunate at this time. Fortunately, I didn't marry a wife. If I really married a wife, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live well with you."

Shang Yuqing trembled and turned to look at his mother, "Mom, please say something."

Princess Pingjing looked at her son's serious expression and suddenly became a little scared. Was her son determined not to marry because of this?

Thinking about how her daughter used to speak without scruples at home, she didn't know how much gossip she had said about the backyard. Did her son hear it?

"Shut up!" Princess Pingjing looked at her daughter angrily, "Your brother is right, she is just a lowly concubine. You will go back to your husband's house today and live a good life with your son-in-law in the future."

"Mother!" Shang Yuqing was not happy, "Are you going to drive me away? Do you want to force us mother and son to death? Mother, you are so cruel."

Shang Junyan suddenly felt bored. Looking at his sister's ugly appearance, he thought about how she maintained the image of a good sister in front of him in his last life. Did she give all her ugly side to Su Xinyi?

So, Su Xinyi hated her and this family so much that she would rather retreat and die than think about taking a step back?

Looking at her son's back as he left, Princess Pingjing hurriedly called him, "Junyan, mother has thought it through and will not force you to marry Princess Runyi. But you are not young anymore, and you should think about getting married. If you like a girl from a certain family, tell me and I will go to ask for marriage, okay?"

You can't just keep wasting time without getting married.

Shang Junyan had no intention of getting married, and only said: "I have been appointed as an imperial envoy, and I will go south to investigate the case soon. Let's talk about marriage later."

Hearing that her son did not refuse outright, Princess Pingjing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could look for a girl first.

Immersed in her own thoughts, Princess Pingjing did not notice the indifferent look in her son's eyes. Her mind was full of which lady was worthy of her son.

Shang Junyan left the house again and returned to his small house. Although he mostly lived in the government office, he sometimes didn't want to face his colleagues all the time, so he would go back to the small house.

When he walked to the front of the house, he saw a familiar figure standing outside the door.
