On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

As soon as the words fell, another burst of thunder resounded through the sky.

There was a hint of fear in Xia Huai'en's eyes. Just as he was about to move away, he met Shen Wantang's determined gaze.

"I won't force you. It's your choice whether to do it or not." Shen Wantang did not impose this hope on Xia Huai'en. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you for the umbrella. Goodbye."

After saying goodbye in a low voice, Shen Wantang turned and left.

But after taking two steps, a voice called out from behind: "I do."

Shen Wantang steadied his steps.

But he didn't look back and just walked forward.

into the night.

The lights in the palace were dim, and the moans in the palace rose and fell. The lights projected the shadows of the two people making love on the gauze curtain.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound in the house finally disappeared.

The woman placed her slender arms on the man's heaving chest, and her charming eyes wandered over the man's profile: "Your Majesty, you have lost a lot of weight. You must have been exhausted these past few days."

The sweat from his temples flowed down his cheeks, and the man's frowned brows took a long time to relax.

"A new chef has come to my palace these days, and the dishes he cooks are so delicious. I'll tell them to cook and send them to the emperor every day, okay?"

Shen Ying dragged her aching body and slowly sat up, her expectant eyes falling on Ji Xunchuan——

She had imagined such a scene many times.

Ji Xunchuan seemed to be worried, and the worry between his brows had not dissipated.

Seeing this, Shen Ying smiled calmly and tried to get up: "Someone come..."

But before she could finish her words, the man covered her mouth with his large hand. With a force, Shen Ying was pressed down on the bed again. The man's large body leaned down, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Shen Ying's pupils suddenly shrank and she was frightened by Ji Xunchuan in front of her.

"Bitch, bitch!" Veins bulged on Ji Xunchuan's forehead. He grabbed Shen Ying's wrists with one hand and lifted her up above her head, while with the other hand he roughly tore off the only bellyband she was wearing.

There was a thunderstorm outside the door, and the noise in the room started again.

I don't know how long it took, but the heavy rain finally stopped and the bed, which had been creaking all night, also became quiet.

Ji Xunchuan sat on the couch with his arms and legs spread out. After venting his anger, the annoyance between his brows naturally disappeared.

However, Shen Ying, whose body was covered with scars, seemed to have lost her soul and was half limp on the bed, with a trace of red still on her lips.

"You, help me change clothes." Ji Xunchuan said coldly, then stood up.

Shen Ying dragged her exhausted body and casually picked up a robe and put it on.

At that time, she was like a walking corpse, with no expression in her eyes.

He helped Ji Xunchuan put on his clothes, then knelt on the ground and held his shoes in his hands.

Ji Xunchuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then slowly leaned down and stretched out his hand to pinch Shen Ying's face: "Why, are you still unhappy?"

As she finished speaking, a tear rolled down her cheeks and Shen Ying shook her head repeatedly.

"You are lucky to look a bit like Shen Wantang. Otherwise, even if you stayed in the palace and became a maid emptying toilets, I would not even look at you."

Ji Xunchuan's cold voice echoed in Shen Ying's ears, and at that moment, there was a bit more human desire in her eyes.

After putting on his shoes, Ji Xunchuan left the bedroom without looking back.

Only Shen Ying was left. She knelt down on the spot and laughed at herself, but her tears never stopped flowing.

"Shen Wantang!"

Shen Ying cried hysterically: "You bitch, I will kill you!"

She wanted to roar out loud, but there were spies everywhere in the palace. If she really said these words, she would be the one to die.

Her eyes were filled with hatred, and she blamed all the humiliation of the day on Shen Wantang.

The sky was bright, and Shen Wantang, who had rested for a night, slowly opened his eyes.

The housekeeper knocked on the door, and Shen Wantang finally woke up.

Putting breakfast on the table, the housekeeper gestured, "The one that the young lady likes to eat at has been returned to its old home. Although this one is not as good as the previous one, it is still okay."

Shen Wantang smiled with relief and said quickly: "You don't have to worry about it."

Now, as soon as the housekeeper saw Shen Wantang, tears could not stop flowing.

"From today on, I will prepare to rescue my father. However, this matter is of great importance. Please stay at the mansion for me. If anyone comes to look for me, tell them that I am seriously ill and will not live long."

Shen Wantang spoke in a low voice.

But the housekeeper was a little puzzled, frowning, and quickly gestured: "It's not difficult to pass on the message, but how can we teach them to believe it?"

Shen Wantang smiled calmly: "Don't worry, there will be someone to act with me today."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Open the door! Open the door for me quickly!"

At that time, outside the gate of Shen's Mansion, several burly men were knocking on the door rudely, and the gate of Shen's Mansion was crowded with people who came to watch the fun.

"You owe me money and don't pay me back! Be careful or I'll rush in and kill you!"

The man was still shouting arrogantly.

After a long while, the door of the mansion slowly opened.

But as soon as the door was opened a crack, the man kicked it roughly, and the housekeeper behind the door was forced to squat on the ground.

"Where's Shen Wantang! Come out here quickly!" The leading man carried a long knife on his shoulder.

"What's going on? The Shen family hasn't offended anyone in the past."

"Who knows? Maybe they are former enemies who dared not offend the Shen family because they saw how powerful they were. Now that General Shen has been imprisoned, they came to seek revenge."

Everyone tiptoed towards the mansion, waiting for Shen Wantang to come out quickly and resolve the matter.

The door creaked open, and Shen Wantang came up alone, leaning on a bamboo pole, trembling.

When I walked closer, I realized that his face was pale and his whole body was shaking. He no longer had the imposing appearance he used to have. Instead, he looked like a terminally ill person.

"When will you pay me back the money you owe me?" The man walked up to Shen Wantang, grabbed Shen Wantang's collar tightly, and spoke coldly.

The bamboo pole in Shen Wantang's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and her body began to tremble. The man loosened his grip and Shen Wantang fell to the ground instantly.

"Young Master, please be kind and give me a few more days." Shen Wantang's voice was full of pleading, with tears welling up in his eyes.

The man was not relenting: "Grace? I've already given you a few months' grace! How dare you drag me along for just a few thousand taels of silver? Why, didn't your Shen family spend tens of thousands of taels of silver in the past? Don't cry poor to me!"

As he spoke, the man mercilessly kicked Shen Wantang in the abdomen.

The force was so great that Shen Wantang flew several meters away. He just stopped and spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared the people who were watching the excitement at the door.

"I, I really don't have any money..."
