Chapter 69 Song Shiwei has an adulterer

Two days later.

Early in the morning, Song Shiwei and Shen Linchuan arrived at the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion in a carriage.

Today, the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion held a grand banquet and invited all the noble families in the capital to attend.

Because it was still early, no guests had arrived yet, but Cheng Enbo and Zhou were already waiting at the door.

Song Shiwei got out of the car, walked over, bowed, and called out, "Father."

Cheng Enbo's face was full of smiles. He helped Song Shiwei up, patted her hands and said, "You must be tired. It's still early, you should go back to the yard and rest for a while.

Your mother has bought you clothes and jewelry, go change into them. Today's banquet is held for you, so you must dress up to attend."

Song Shiwei asked in confusion: "Why are you preparing a banquet for me? Isn't this too extravagant and wasteful?"

"How can this be called extravagance?"

Cheng Enbo sighed and said, “Since you returned to the capital, you have been learning the rules and etiquette.

I had been planning to hold a banquet for you so that all the dignitaries in the capital would know your identity.

It's just because your marriage was too hasty, so we didn't have time to do it.

As a father, I owe you a lot, and I always want to make up for it."

Zhou followed and advised: "This is your father's intention. Although you are married, you are still the eldest daughter of our Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.

In the past, some people always looked down on your status and thought that you were not favored in the mansion.

Your father also wants to take this opportunity to tell everyone that you and Mingzhu are both dear to his heart."

Song Shiwei pretended to be touched and looked at Cheng Enbo and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Cheng Enbo was overjoyed when he was called "Daddy". He said, "Go and see the clothes and jewelry your mother prepared for you. Do you like them?"

"it is good."

Song Shiwei responded, then entered the mansion and headed towards her own yard.

Throughout the whole process, Shen Linchuan stood aside like an outsider and couldn't get a word in. It was not until Song Shiwei left that Cheng Enbo remembered his son-in-law.

He glanced at Shen Linchuan and said in a calm voice, "You can come in and sit down too."

The expression on Shen Linchuan's face was a little stiff, but he could only endure it secretly. He bowed respectfully and was about to enter the mansion.

Zhou smiled and said, "Master, the son-in-law is not familiar with our house, so I'd better take him there."

Cheng Enbo nodded.

Zhou politely led Shen Linchuan into the mansion and said, "It is really a blessing for you to marry our Shi Wei.

Shi Wei is both beautiful and talented, and now she has become so famous that she has even been rewarded in front of the emperor.

Shi Wei is also very capable. We always thought that she grew up in the countryside and had little experience, but we never thought that she had such abilities.

I don’t know who she learned these skills from.”

After listening to her words, Shen Linchuan couldn't help but become suspicious.

How did Song Shiwei learn such superb piano skills when she grew up in the countryside?

He asked, "Didn't anyone teach her when she was in the country?"

Zhou shrugged and said, "I asked the servants in the countryside, and no one taught her, but..."

She changed the subject, paused for a moment and said, “I heard from the servants that Shi Wei picked up a man from the river a year ago.

That person was wearing a mask and looked very mysterious. They were inseparable and lived and ate together. Maybe Shiwei learned piano skills from that person."

Upon hearing this, Shen Linchuan's expression suddenly changed.

Zhou realized that she had said something wrong and hurriedly explained, "Don't think too much, sir. Shi Wei definitely didn't have a private relationship with that man."

She led him to the pavilion in the garden and said, "Sit here for a while, sir. I'll have someone bring you some refreshments."

Shen Linchuan nodded slightly: "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Zhou nodded and then left the pavilion. She looked back at Shen Linchuan and couldn't help but curl her lips, revealing a meaningful smile.

Then she glanced at the person hiding in the dark.

In the pavilion.

Shen Linchuan couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts because of Zhou's words.

Because of the unpleasant incident on their wedding night, he and Song Shiwei had not yet consummated their marriage, but she didn't seem to be in the mood to do so.

Could it be that she has someone in her heart?

If so...

Shen Linchuan secretly clenched his hands, and a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

A man's self-esteem and pride will not allow his wife to have someone else in her heart.

He took a deep breath, and when he looked up, he saw a masked man sneaking towards the backyard.

Shen Linchuan was startled and subconsciously tried to chase after her. He bumped into a maid who was serving tea, and the teapot fell over, spilling tea all over him.

The maid hurriedly apologized.

Shen Linchuan was extremely anxious. He looked up to find the masked man, but he had already disappeared.

He asked the maid in front of him: "Who is that masked man?"

The maid was confused: "What masked man? There is no such person in the mansion. Did the master make a mistake?"

Shen Linchuan couldn't be wrong, he clearly saw a man wearing a mask.

Just then, a scolding voice came: "How do you do things?"

Song Mingzhu came over and saw that Shen Linchuan's clothes were all dirty, so she hurriedly apologized: "Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry.

The servants in this mansion were clumsy and made your clothes dirty.

I'll take you to my sister's yard, where she has some clean clothes for you."

She led the way, leading Shen Linchuan towards Wutong Courtyard where Song Shiwei lived.

Shen Linchuan asked curiously, "How do you know your sister has my spare clothes?"

He had never stayed overnight at Marquis Cheng'en's mansion. Even since they got married, Song Shiwei had never made him a piece of clothing. How could she possibly prepare clothes for him at the mansion?

Song Mingzhu smiled coquettishly: "I saw it when I was helping my sister clean up her room.

There are men's clothes in her room, whose clothes could it be if not yours, brother-in-law?"

Shen Linchuan's face darkened, and a raging rage suddenly burned in his heart.

He became more and more certain that what he had just seen was not an illusion, but Song Shiwei's adulterer.

They must be having some private dealings behind his back.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace, urging Song Mingzhu to walk faster.

At this time, Wutong Courtyard.

Song Shiwei stood in the spotlessly clean room.

It was a world of difference from the last time she came here.

All the furnishings in the room were replaced with new ones, with antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Zhou also prepared a lot of red hairpins, jewelry and gorgeous clothes for her.

She found it ironic.

Song Shiwei withdrew her gaze and had no intention of touching those things. She turned around and her eyes inadvertently passed through the open window.

Suddenly, her body stiffened and she slowly turned her head to look out the window.

A man was standing under the swaying shadows of the trees, wearing a green shirt and a silver mask on his face.

When she saw the man, her heart began to pound uncontrollably and her eyes were filled with shock.

It was him.

He is back!
