Chapter 34: Kiss Under the Sycamore Tree

Chapter 34: Kiss Under the Sycamore Tree

Old Madam Shen's face changed drastically when she heard Taoist Zixu's confession.

When she realized what was happening, she rushed over angrily and asked, "Who told you to slander me?

You stinky Taoist priest, please explain yourself clearly. "

Seeing the dish of dirty water being poured on her, how could Old Lady Shen bear it? She wished she could cut the Taoist priest into pieces.

Shen Linchuan tried hard to stop his mother, but he believed that his mother could do it.

He was ashamed and angry, his face turned ashen.

When Lord Cheng En saw that Taoist Zixu had identified Madam Shen, he immediately relaxed his brows and said in a cold voice, "You still want Lord Cheng En's mansion to give you an explanation, but it turns out you are the thief crying thief.

Your Shen family is in decline, and I married my little daughter Shi Wei to you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you are also dissatisfied with us and repeatedly bully my daughter. It's simply despicable!"

"Father-in-law, calm down."

Shen Linchuan apologized anxiously, "It's my mother's fault.

I also ask my father-in-law to consider her advanced age and not to bother with her."

Old Madam Shen looked at her son, her eyes full of grievance.

She was clearly being wronged, but her son didn't believe her.

She was so angry that she slapped Shen Linchuan on the face and cursed: "Why did I give birth to such a useless son like you? You really disappoint me."

Old Madam Shen was very angry and her breathing became rapid.

She looked at the people in front of her, pointed at them and said, "You...you guys..."

She couldn't catch her breath, her eyes went dark, and she fell to the ground and fainted.

"mother."

Shen Linchuan hugged his mother, feeling anxious.

Cheng Enbo waved his hand and said to the servants in the mansion: "Send the old lady back and find a doctor for her."

Soon the old lady was carried away and Shen Linchuan also left.

Xiao Jingheng was still sitting on the chair. He glanced at Taoist Zixu who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "As a Taoist, you are tempted by money. I think there is still a lot of filth hidden in Xuanqing Temple."

He gave an order: "Take the people away and seal Xuanqing Temple for me."

Qing Mo came over and took Taoist Zixu away.

Xiao Jingheng looked at Cai Lian who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a faint voice: "This maid belongs to your Cheng Enbo Mansion, so you can deal with it."

Uncle Cheng En gave Zhou a look, asking her to take Cai Lian away.

Then he sent Song Shiwei away and said, "Don't go back to the Shen family for the time being. Stay at the mansion first."

Song Shiwei knelt down, bowed, said "yes", then turned and left the hall.

After everyone left, Cheng Enbo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Xiao Jingheng, "Thank you for trouble today, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingheng smiled and looked up at him: "I said I won't implicate the Cheng En Marquis's Mansion, so I will definitely not implicate it.

How is it? Is Lord Cheng En satisfied with this result?"

"Satisfied, satisfied."

Cheng Enbo poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jingheng, but he felt a little uneasy.

Xiao Jingheng did not hand over Taoist Zixu to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, but kept him himself. His purpose was obvious.

Xiao Jingheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said in a faint voice: "Who bribed Taoist Zixu? Cheng Enbo knows it very well.

Marquis Cheng'en is lucky today, otherwise once this matter gets out, your Marquis Cheng'en Mansion will become the laughing stock of the capital.

However, I am very curious. I wonder what hatred Madam has against Miss Song that made her set up such a vicious plan to make her be divorced by the Shen family?

Could it be that your wife has taken a fancy to Shen Linchuan and wants to marry her daughter to him as the wife of the top scholar?"

Cheng Enbo's face was a little stiff, he smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty is joking, I think Madam is also worried about Shi Wei.

She felt that she had been wronged in the Shen family, so she was confused for a moment. "

"Oh?"

Xiao Jingheng raised the last syllable of his words, and then chuckled, “I want to help Miss Song escape from the sea of ​​suffering, so defiling her is a fate of God.

This is the first time I have seen her being isolated, abused, and her life ruined."

Cheng Enbo's old face was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Jingheng stopped making things difficult for him and asked, "Does what Lord Cheng En just promised still count?"

Cheng Enbo hurriedly said, "Of course it counts. It's my honor to share the worries of the prince."

Xiao Jingheng smiled slightly: "That's good."

He stood up, patted Cheng Enbo on the shoulder and said, "Master Zixu, you can rest assured. I will keep him under strict supervision and will not let him tell the truth. As for your wife..."

He sighed twice and said, "It is not easy for Lord Cheng En to have the status he has today, but he must not let a stupid woman ruin his life.

This is all I have to say. Lord Cheng En, please take care of yourself."

After leaving these words, Xiao Jingheng turned around and left the flower hall.

After he left, Cheng Enbo's face suddenly darkened.

He threw the teacup at hand and headed towards Minghua Hall where Zhou lived with anger.

Wutong Courtyard.

When Song Shiwei came into the room, she saw a layer of dust in the room.

I guess no one came to clean the house during the time she was away.

Zhu Qing frowned and said, "I'll go clean it."

"no need."

Song Shiwei turned and walked out, sitting down on the stone bench under the paulownia tree.

She looked up at the sycamore tree with its lush branches and leaves in bloom.

The sunlight poured through the gaps between the leaves, and she reached out her hand to gently touch the light.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came to my ears.

Song Shiwei was startled and turned her head subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingheng bent down and leaned close to her ear, looking up at the sycamore tree above her head from her perspective.

It didn't matter that she turned around, her soft lips fell on his cheek.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Song Shiwei forgot to move, and Xiao Jingheng didn't move either. The two of them were stunned for a moment.

Song Shiwei finally reacted and hurriedly stepped back, her ears blushing.

Xiao Jingheng touched the cheek that she had accidentally kissed, and he curled his lips, his expression showing visible joy as he said, "I know you didn't mean it, and I won't blame you."

Song Shiwei: "..."

She glared at the man and said, "The prince is getting bolder and bolder now. He even dares to break into the Cheng En Marquis's mansion."

Xiao Jingheng smiled, sat down on the stone bench and said in an ambiguous tone: "Who asked you to be here?"

Song Shiwei choked. This man was really shameless.

She snorted and turned her head away, saying, "The prince lost the bet we made."

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Xiao Jingheng lost, but he lost happily.

Song Shiwei said that she didn't have to do anything to let Zhou and Old Madam Shen reap what they sowed.

Sure enough, just as she expected.

He said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Song Shiwei asked him: "If I want the prince to stay away from me, will the prince agree?"

Xiao Jingheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at Song Shiwei and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

He asked, "Do you hate this king so much?"
