After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day
Chapter 34 You really dare to say that!
Shen Guidi stood in the hall.
I couldn't help but think back to that day when Lin Huaian used coercion and inducement and was despicable and shameless.
She chuckled and stared at Emperor Zhao Yuan. "Why not agree? A daughter who has no use value can give the Lin family a glimmer of hope in such a situation. This deal is not a loss for him."
No one knows why Shen Guidi proposed such a strange deal.
Only she knows.
Even though she had taken her mother's surname, she still had that man's blood flowing in her veins. No matter how much she hated him, Lin Huaian still gave birth to her.
The substitute marriage, as he wished, resolved the crisis for the Lin family and could be considered as repaying his kindness.
Since then.
Regardless of whether Lin Huaian admits it or not, she has repaid the favor she owes, and the revenge she owes has just begun.
Emperor Zhao Yuan lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was silence in the Xuan Zheng Hall. Zhou Chonghai frowned tightly, fearing that Emperor Zhao Yuan might be too upset.
He also had some impression of the Shen family behind Shen Guidi.
But the past is too sad to recall.
Shen Guidi's smile looked uglier than crying.
He Qingchen's eyes were dark, his lips were tightly pursed, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Emperor Zhaoyuan was silent.
He looked away with a complicated look.
Emperor Zhao Yuan was also silent for a moment, and finally looked away.
The matter of the Lin family's substitute marriage could be fully investigated. There was really no need for He Qingchen to lie. This was also the reason why Emperor Zhao Yuan did not summon the Lin family after hearing what He Qingchen had accused him of.
Lin Huaian was promoted by the Qi family.
It was a target they put in the open. The Qi family was a famous family in Beizhao. Although they had no relationship with the side branches, they were very protective of their family. In the early years, the emperor of Beizhao had thought about taking action against the Qi family, but to no avail.
Emperor Zhao Yuan always felt that this person personally promoted by the Qi family would be the key to breaking open the Qi family.
Therefore, Lin Huaian cannot move at this moment.
Seeing him silent, He Qingchen spoke with some disappointment: "Father, I cannot bear to be humiliated like this. Are you not going to say something, or ask Lord Lin to come to the palace for a confrontation?"
Emperor Zhaoyuan paused.
"I, of course I will give you an explanation, but... now is not the time." Emperor Zhao Yuan looked away guiltily, especially not daring to look at Shen Guidi's puzzled eyes.
His explanation was dry and unconvincing.
As an emperor, he never needed to explain anything to anyone, nor did he need to feel guilty about anything.
But at this moment, he just didn't dare to look at the two of them.
He Qingchen curled his lips. Even though this was the result he wanted, Emperor Zhao Yuan said it so shamelessly. He still felt lost, disappointed, and lonely.
In his past and present lives, his father had never felt sorry for him at all.
Even so, he encountered such a big thing.
Shen Guidi didn't know why He Qingchen suddenly became so depressed. Wasn't this result something they had expected?
Standing behind the Lin family is the Qi family.
As long as the Qi family remains intact, the Lin family will always have the confidence. How easy is it to completely suppress them?
She hesitated for a moment, then quietly reached out to hold his hand.
He Qingchen's eyebrows moved slightly, he grabbed her hand with his backhand, glanced at her sideways, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He grinned, smiled at Shen Guidi, and said silently: I'm fine, don't worry.
Shen Guidi nodded, and used a little strength to try to pull her hand out of his big hand, but failed.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Emperor Zhao Yuan.
He narrowed his eyes, pointed at their pulling hands, and asked curiously: "King Yan, you, you and her..."
The two men froze.
Shen Guidi took the opportunity to pull her hand out of He Qingchen's hand, lowered her head guiltily, and stared at her shoes. However, He Qingchen was calm and composed, not at all uncomfortable about being discovered.
He curled his lips, took Shen Guiyi's hand again, rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb for a few times, and solemnly raised their interlocked hands, saying gently: "Father, I have found the person I want to spend my life with."
Shen Guidi: “…”
You really dare to say that!
Emperor Zhaoyuan: "..."
Then why did you make such a fuss and loudly accuse them of replacing your bride?
Judging from your attitude just now, I thought that you disliked the concubine's daughter so much that you wanted me to do you justice and get the bride back.
Emperor Zhaoyuan secretly complained in his heart.
I asked the question just as I thought.
He Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "Father, on the day of the wedding, I fell in love with Asi at first sight and couldn't help myself, but these are two different things.
The Lin family deceived the emperor first, and the son and I are attracted to A'yi later.
If we let her off easily this time, won't everyone dare to do the same in the future and replace the bride at will?
I want Asi, but the Lin family must also give an explanation for this matter.
Otherwise, wouldn't our royal family, you, and your sons and subjects, become the laughing stock of the world?"
"...You are right." Emperor Zhao Yuan was speechless for a moment.
He glanced at Shen Guidi again.
Her appearance and demeanor are probably rare in the whole capital. She is truly someone who can make people fall in love with her at first sight.
But why didn’t he believe what the second brother said?
If he was really a lustful man, why had he never mentioned the idea of getting married or taking a concubine before?
The backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion is still empty, with only two maids-in-arms given by the Queen. It is said that they are still in the side courtyard of the mansion, doing the work of maids. Could such a man really have no grudge against Shen Guidi?
Emperor Zhaoyuan suppressed his suspicion and asked curiously, "Since you knew the truth about the Lin family's substitutionary marriage on the night of your wedding, why didn't you come to the palace yesterday, but only came today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, He Qingchen immediately turned his eyes away guiltily.
The tips of her ears turned red.
Emperor Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes, and looked at Shen Guidi, whose cheeks were also red. Both of them were filled with unspeakable embarrassment, and he probably understood what was going on.
It was not that he had never experienced the admiration of a young man.
He coughed awkwardly: "Um..."
"Father, in fact, the Lin family not only replaced the bride, they also did something...other." He Qingchen looked as if he couldn't speak, which made Emperor Zhao Yuan very curious.
"Oh?"
Emperor Zhao Yuan stretched out his tone, his gaze moving between the two of them, his eyes dim and full of curiosity.
"What else did Minister Lin do?"
He Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and tried to remind Emperor Zhao Yuan about what he said at the beginning: "He... Father, do you still remember that I just said that when the Lin family married their daughter, they saw that I was in such a state, and they were afraid that they would lose both the person and the money?"
"So, it's about silver?"
The Lin family married off their daughter, but the bride had been replaced. This was the "person", but what was the "wealth"? In addition to the bride's dowry, what other wealth did the Lin family have that could be manipulated to avoid losing it?
Besides the dowry?
Emperor Zhao Yuan was shocked, thinking that he had guessed it right.
