Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

When Shen Lanxi arrived, she saw Zhou Ru'an pacing back and forth with a box in his hand.

"Second prince."

Zhou Ru'an heard the shouting and turned around with a smile.

"Lan Xi."

Seeing him acting as if nothing had happened, Shen Lanxi just found it ironic and funny.

"My father asked me to give this to you." Zhou Ru'an opened the box.

Inside was a complete set of Dongzhu head ornaments. The largest one in the middle should have been the Dongzhu given by the Queen Mother when she entered the palace to ask for a divorce. Later, when she left, it was placed in the palace.

"My father said that you left in a hurry that day and he didn't have time to call you and let you take it with you. So my father asked the craftsmen in the palace to make this headgear and asked me to bring it to you!" Zhou Ru'an raised a smile that he thought was very charming and presented it with both hands with full sincerity.

Shen Lanxi took it and looked at it carefully.

Zhou Ru'an saw her look and a look of contempt flashed across his eyes.

As long as they are women, they can't walk when they see gorgeous jewelry and clothes. Women are women, what kind of army can they lead? Their fate is only a small backyard.

Seeing Shen Lanxi's reluctance to let go, Zhou Ru'an looked down on her even more.

After Shen Lanxi looked at it, she closed the box.

Zhou Ru'an immediately took out a small box from his sleeve.

"Lan Xi, this is my gift to you. I know you love pearls, so I asked someone to search all over the capital to find this night-shining pearl. When you put it in your room at night, it will be brighter than a candle."

The box was opened, and a bead smaller than the Dongzhu was placed in the box.

Shen Lanxi took a quick glance and then looked up at Zhou Ru'an.

"No merit, no reward. Second Prince, you should take it back!"

Zhou Ru'an said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Lan Xi, you used to call me Brother Ru'an. I know that because of the Wei family army's food and salary issue, you have some misunderstandings about the royal family."

Shen Lanxi raised her hand to interrupt: "Second Prince, be careful what you say. I don't have any disrespect for the royal family. The Wei family army's food and money were not stolen by the royal family. If I want to hate someone, I should hate those who stole the food and money. What do you think?"

Zhou Ru'an's eyes froze, and he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Lan Xi is right, I said the wrong thing."

"When the Shen family was sentenced to exile, I was thousands of miles away from the capital. When I rushed back to the capital, the Shen family had already been exiled."

"After returning to the capital, I immediately reported to my father and pleaded for mercy for the Shen family. However, at that time, the entire court, the military and the people all believed that the theft of grain and money was caused by the Shen family. If it was someone else, the entire family would have been executed long ago."

Zhou Ru'an looked at Shen Lanxi as he spoke. He thought, he had said so much, his mouth was almost dry, why didn't Shen Lanxi say a word?

Is it so easy to believe what he says?

"Lan Xi, we said goodbye in a hurry in Tianjin before, and we didn't have time to talk properly. Now we finally have the chance to talk properly."

Since Tianjin was mentioned, Shen Lanxi couldn't help but ask a question.

"We said goodbye hastily at my aunt's house that day. The Second Prince and the Wang brothers and sisters woke up naked on the same couch. It's really fresh in my memory!"

Zhou Ru'an's face turned dark instantly. He didn't expect Shen Lanxi to dare to mention that day. Resentment flashed across his eyes, and then he pinched his palm hard to divert his attention.

"Sister Lan Xi, your Shen family should not have appeared in Tianjin that day. How about we just pretend that no one saw each other that day?" Zhou Ru'an said in a negotiating tone.

Shen Lanxi turned around and ignored the box Zhou Ru'an handed over.

"The nature of the matter between our Shen family and the Second Prince is different. At that time, the refugees rioted, and the exile team fled in panic, and for a moment they went in the wrong direction. The Second Prince is different. My aunt prepared a welcoming banquet early, and it was obvious that she was waiting for the prince to arrive."

Zhou Ru'an panicked and quickly changed the subject: "No matter what the reason is, we shouldn't be here. With my father's temper, if this gets out, we'll both be in trouble!"

Shen Lanxi said indifferently, "It's really different. Your Majesty knows that my mother has an old grudge with the third princess Zhou Qiwu. Even if our family wants to escape, we will not run to the enemy's territory. You, the prince, are different. The Wang family is a frontier official. You are so close to the frontier official, and it's private. In public, you don't even know Zhou Qiwu. You are familiar with the third princess behind everyone's back. What is your plan?"

Zhou Ru'an broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

He took the box back and looked at Shen Lanxi coldly with a scrutinizing gaze.

This woman, apart from her pretty face and figure, everything else about her is extremely disgusting.

"So, you are going to report me to the emperor?" If Shen Lanxi really dares to do so, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth, and her tone changed from confrontational to peaceful.

"How could that be? We are both in the Zhenbei Army now, and we are in the same boat. I hope more than anyone else that the Second Prince can do better, and I also hope that our Zhenbei Army can become famous in the border areas and be rewarded and valued by His Majesty!"

Zhou Ru'an looked at Shen Lanxi deeply, and seeing that she did not dodge, he analyzed her words carefully.

Shen Lanxi's words sounded nice, but in fact they were probably just bluffing, fearing that he would really tell his father that the Shen family had been to Tianjin.

Shen Lanxi, this stupid woman, didn't know that her father was already very afraid of her and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. She was still dreaming of turning things around by relying on military merit.

Since she loves to dream, let her dream. As a woman, what else can she do besides dreaming and the dirty tricks in the backyard?

It didn't cause any waves, so after a while, he found an opportunity to get rid of her without anyone knowing.

Zhou Ru'an glanced at Shen Lanxi's face, and a look of pity flashed across his eyes.

Before dealing with anything, he must taste what this woman who almost became his brother's wife is like.

When he thought about holding Zhou Ruyuan's former woman under him, his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

Zhou Ru'an put on a fake smile and said, "Since we have the same goal, let's forget about the past!"

Shen Lanxi said in a flattering manner: "From now on, the Zhenbei Army will be handed over to the Second Prince. I hope that the Second Prince can lead the Zhenbei Army to quell the rebellion in the northwest, and then we can also get a share of the spoils!"

Zhou Ruan thought to himself, it is indeed so.

Shen Lanxi just wants to use his military achievements and his status as a prince to turn things around. He is sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, but in the end, he still has to rely on him!

The disgust and anger that came over him when the Wang brothers and sisters were mentioned were replaced by Shen Lanxi's compliment.

Zhou Ru'an's sense of superiority as a prince rose again. His identity was destined to make him superior to everyone else.

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Ru'an's eyes turned and the subject suddenly changed.

"I don't know where my sister is now. When I was in the capital, my father repeatedly asked me to punish this disobedient sister."
