Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The Shunqing Marquis Mansion has a high gate and a large courtyard, with red walls and green tiles, and there are guards outside the gate every day.

So when the guards saw Shen Chengshan and his men coming in a threatening manner from afar, they immediately returned home to report.

"Jiang Ruhai, tell your daughter to come out and see me. You are so bold that you dare to secretly attack my Shen family..."

"If anything happens to my son, I will make you pay with blood for your blood debt at Shunqing Marquis Mansion."

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Ruhai also responded hastily.

But before he reached the door, he heard Shen Chengshan's roar outside.

Fortunately, the Shunqing Marquis Mansion is located in a quiet place on Fenghua Street. In addition, it is a military family's home, and the common people are afraid of military families and rarely pass by.

With a creaky sound, the heavy door was opened, and Jiang Ruhai came out with his confidants and good men in the mansion.

"So it's Duke Shen. What's the purpose of mobilizing such a large army?" Jiang Ruhai stood calmly on the stone steps.

When Shen Chengshan saw Jiang Ruhai, his face darkened even more and he took a quick step forward.

But the next moment, the guards beside Jiang Ruhai stepped forward one after another, stood in front of Jiang Ruhai, and blocked Shen Chengshan and his men.

Seeing this, Shen Chengshan paused and snorted coldly, "Where is Jiang Qingwu? Ask her to come out and see me."

Jiang Ruhai put one hand behind his back and the other in front of him, smiling with a puzzled look on his face.

"My daughter? Lord Shen, why do you want to see my daughter?"

"Yesterday, my son Shen Zhuoran said he was going to look for your daughter. As of today, he has been missing for two days and one night."

"I want to ask your daughter, where is Shen Zhuoran?"

"Haha..." Jiang Ruhai laughed when he heard the voice, "Your son is missing?"

"What does your son's disappearance have to do with my daughter? It's not even dark yet, why is Lord Shen talking in his sleep?"

"Also, your family has had bad luck this year. How come you lost your daughter yesterday and your son today?"

Shen Chengshan clenched the sword in his hand, drew his sword in anger and pointed it at Jiang Ruhai.

"Old Jiang, you dared to mock me after all these years. Finally, your true colors are revealed."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have killed you with one blow on the battlefield."

Jiang Ruhai looked at Shen Chengshan and his face gradually darkened.

After hearing this, he actually believed what Jiang Qingwu had said before.

The Shen family has been plotting against them. Their comradeship is all just superficial.

"Sure enough, you have been secretly plotting against our Jiang family. It must have been very hard for you to act for so long."

Shen Chengshan chuckled contemptuously and glared at him, "Stop talking nonsense. I must see Jiang Qingwu today. If you don't move out of the way, I will force my way in."

Jiang Ruhai's eyes suddenly changed color, and he stepped forward angrily, "How dare you? You have no evidence. My Shunqing Marquis Mansion is not something you can just barge into."

"Then give it a try. Go in and search. Find Jiang Qingwu for me."

Shen Chengshan gave an order and led his men to rush forward like a bandit.

The guards of the Marquis' Mansion also quickly rushed forward to resist.

The men had already started fighting, and Jiang Ruhai saw Shen Chengshan approaching with a knife raised.

Then he snatched the knife from his confidant's hand and said, "Shen Chengshan, you are so bold!"

Just as the situation was getting out of control, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance.

"The Regent is here! Stop it, everyone." Jiuhan approached on his horse and shouted, and the situation was finally under control.

Everyone set up their own camps and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that it was Yan Xiuchen's team returning to the city, and they had come here in a circle.

The carriage stopped and everyone saluted. Even Shen Chengshan and Jiang Ruhai put away their swords and bowed.

"See His Royal Highness the Regent."

Yan Xiuchen held the golden bronze fan in his hand, slowly opened the carriage window curtain, and looked not far away.

"Duke Shen..."

"I'm here." Shen Chengshan echoed and handed the sword in his hand to his subordinate.

Then he walked closer to Yan Xiuchen, and Jiang Ruhai beside him followed.

"Duke Shen, I am dragging my crippled leg outside the city to find a daughter for you, but you are here trying to embarrass my unmarried princess?"

"What's the reason?"

Shen Chengshan's heart trembled when he heard this.

Since Yan Xiuchen returned to Beijing injured, he has never mentioned his injury to anyone.

These words really make people panic.

No matter how you secretly become an enemy of Yan Xiuchen, you still have to save your face.

"I dare not, I am afraid."

"Yesterday, my son Shen Zhuoran said he wanted to find Miss Jiang, but he lost his trace, so he came to ask Miss Jiang a few questions."

"Shen Zhuoran is missing? Ha, he must have turned a corner before he saw Jiang Qingwu."

Jiuhan, who was standing by, heard Yan Xiuchen say this and stepped forward knowingly, standing sternly with a cold voice.

"Duke Shen, the second son of the Shen family is addicted to gambling and lust, and behaves unruly. This is something that everyone in the capital knows."

"Duke Shen, you should go to the gambling house or the brothel to look for it."

"Ms. Jiang has been preparing for her wedding in the mansion for the past two days. Yesterday, I came to deliver something for His Highness and saw her sitting in the mansion. How could she meet your son?"

Shen Chengshan secretly suppressed his anger but did not dare to explode.

Now that Yan Xiuchen is here, he won't be able to get any benefit at all.

"Yes, I will take everyone away now."

Shen Chengshan knew what to do and could only leave in disappointment. However, not long after he left Shunqing Marquis Mansion, he ran into the imperial concubine's carriage.

"Brother."

Hearing the shout, Shen Chengshan immediately abandoned his horse and got on the carriage.

"Why did you leave the palace?"

"Wanrong was abducted by bandits. It is still unknown whether she can marry Yan Lin."

"Zhuoran is the legitimate son of our Shen family. If something unexpected happens to him, it will be a big deal."

As Concubine Shen was speaking, she saw that Shen Chengshan’s face was full of anger and understood something.

"Brother, you are openly at odds with Shunqing Marquis Mansion, what can you do to him?"

"Even if I let you in, met Jiang Qingwu, and found out something, it would be just a suspicion at best."

"Even if the matter is brought to His Majesty, with the Regent here, he won't be able to convict her. At most, he will just cause trouble for her."

Hearing this, Shen Chengshan couldn't help but look at Concubine Shen, "Tell me, what should we do?"

"Brother, if you suspect Jiang Qingwu, just go and kidnap Jiang Qingwu."

"If they can kidnap Wanrong, we can certainly kidnap Jiang Qingwu. It won't be a problem for us to be the guards of the Marquis' Mansion."

Concubine Shen sat upright and smiled. Seeing this, Shen Chengshan felt a little more at ease.

On this side, Yan Xiuchen saw Shen Chengshan turn around and leave, and gestured slightly to Jiang Ruhai.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruhai hurriedly moved closer to Yan Xiuchen's window and said, "Your Highness, how is Awu?"

"It's okay, I will take good care of her, but it's Jiang Qingbai."

"If Shen Chengshan finds his son, he will definitely not give up."

"The Shen family is good at using strange poisons and assassinations. They want Jiang Qingbai to leave Beijing as soon as possible and go to Xiangcheng in the next two days."

Jiang Ruhai suddenly seemed to understand something, "Your Highness is worried that Shen Chengshan will deal with my son because of Shen Zhuoran?"

"We must be on guard. Jiang Qingbai will be safe after seeing Prince Pingqing."

"Yes, Wei Chen understands."

After Yan Xiuchen gave Jiang Ruhai instructions, he returned to the Regent's Palace. By then, it was already dark.

In Beiyuan, Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue were talking in the house.

As soon as Yan Xiuchen arrived at the door, he was attracted by the conversation between the two. He immediately raised his hand and stopped Jiuhan who was pushing him.

"Miss, today I bumped into that Jiu Ye and we chatted for a while..."

Jiang Qingwu was standing at the desk in the outer hall, drawing. He turned his pen and smiled nonchalantly, "I can see that you look a little off. What are you talking about?"

Wan Yue sighed, pouted, and while grinding ink, she muttered, "I told you, you will definitely be unhappy again."

"Jiu Ye? The first thing he said was something that made me unhappy. It doesn't matter, just tell me what you think."

Wan Yue opened her mouth and leaned closer to Jiang Qingwu, "He said that my godfather knows about your daughter's secret meeting with the third prince."

"You should persuade your daughter not to get involved with other men for no reason and make my godfather angry."

Wan Yue became more and more excited as she spoke, and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu, "He also said... ahem..."

Wanyue cleared her throat, clasped her arms, and imitated Jiuye.

"My godfather was so angry yesterday that his face turned green. I don't know what he likes about you girls."

"You clearly don't trust your girl, but you still insist on marrying her."

"I think either your girl has been bewitched, or my godfather has had a seizure."
