After the court meeting ended, all the civil and military officials gathered together, all discussing the Prince of Yue Kingdom's proposal to marry Shen Lanxi.

Yue Chuhe quickly walked up to Shen Lanxi and stopped her.

"Sir Shen, I was rude yesterday. I apologize to you here."

Shen Lanxi: "No need, we had a fair competition yesterday. Although there was no winner or loser, the winner and loser are in the hearts of the people. Everyone will make their own decisions. Prince Yue San really doesn't need to hold a grudge!"

"I don't hold a grudge. Everything I said is true!" Yue Chuhe hurriedly expressed his true feelings.

Shen Lanxi stopped and looked straight at him: "As far as I know, the Third Prince of Yue married the daughter of the Prime Minister of Yue Kingdom as his principal wife. I would like to ask you, if you marry me, what will happen to the daughter of the Prime Minister?"

"I am the Duke of Zhou, and regardless of whether I am willing to be your concubine, I will use your deception as an excuse to destroy your Yue Kingdom!"

Yue Chuhe's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Shen Lanxi knew so much about his Yue Kingdom.

The daughter of the prime minister naturally cannot be divorced, let alone become a concubine.

"Lord Shen, you are too polite. Since this prince dares to ask for your hand in marriage, I will definitely not let you be a concubine."

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "That means marrying me as your principal wife. It just so happens that I will write a letter to the Prime Minister of Yue Kingdom right now, asking him to be more sensible and bring his daughter home as soon as possible!"

Yue Chuhe felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect Shen Lanxi to be so cruel and actually wanted to destroy his foundation.

The reason why he could run rampant in Yue Country was because of the means of his father-in-law, the Prime Minister. If his father-in-law knew that he was going to marry Shen Lanxi as his principal wife, would he still be able to return to Yue Country?

Shen Lanxi ignored Yue Chuhe's pale face and continued, "Or does your Yue country have the tradition of marrying a concubine? How come I don't know about this tradition?"

Yue Chuhe wished he could kill Shen Lanxi.

The customs of Yue Kingdom and Da Zhou are similar, so there is naturally no tradition of marrying a concubine. She is just an abandoned woman, but she dares to dream of becoming his main wife. Where does she get such a big face?

Even though she was the Duke of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was still a used and discarded piece of trash. It was a great favor for him to be accepted into the mansion. Shen Lanxi was simply too ungrateful.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding! Since Lord Shen has no interest in me, I will just regard it as love without mercy!" Yue Chuhe smiled stiffly.

Shen Lanxi found it funny and nodded calmly.

"Is that so? That's a pity. Maybe if you hold on a little longer, I can become the principal wife of the Prince of Yue Kingdom."

Yue Chuhe smiled awkwardly and left as if running for his life.

Such a vicious, sinister and cunning woman should never even think about entering his prince's palace!

Zhou Ruyuan walked over quickly.

"What did he just say to you?"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at him with amusement.

"Is the Prince of Zhennan questioning me?"

Zhou Ruyuan frowned and looked at the direction where Yue Chuhe left with a sullen face.

"I'm just worried he might do something bad to you!"

Shen Lanxi: "Thank you so much for your concern, King Zhennan. Unfortunately, even if Yue Chuhe wanted to harm me, he doesn't have the strength to do so!"

Zhou Ruyuan: "Don't underestimate him. He must have some ulterior motives and means to be able to come to the Great Zhou as an envoy."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "I thought the King of Zhennan was worried about food and grass, but I didn't expect that I was overthinking it!"

Zhou Ruyuan looked choked.

Shen Lanxi gave him two words in her heart: hypocrisy!

Zhou Ruyuan stared blankly at the direction where Shen Lanxi left. Why was she so stubborn and refused to listen to advice?

……

Shen Lanxi suddenly returned home, catching everyone there off guard.

The harmonious scene of a virtuous mother and a filial daughter suddenly froze!

"This is Lan Xi, right? Oh, it's been seven or eight years since we last met. I can hardly recognize her!"

"Lan Xi is back, come closer quickly so that your aunt can take a good look at you!"

Shen Congwen's two younger sisters, Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang, spoke one after another and waved to Shen Lanxi in an affectionate tone, but they did not lift their buttocks from the stools.

Old Madam Shen's heart skipped a beat. She was so happy just now that she forgot to tell her two daughters.

Shen Shuniang smiled and pointed at her two sons and one daughter beside her: "Son, come and call me cousin."

"Daughter, call me cousin:"

Shen Huiniang was not to be outdone and also introduced her three daughters and one son.

"Call someone quickly. We are the closest cousins ​​and you used to play together when you were little."

The seven men and women looked at each other, explored, were curious, and had contempt and disdain hidden deep inside.

"Cousin~"

"Cousin~"

Shen Lanxi looked at them with a cold face. Just because she tolerated the people at home didn’t mean she could tolerate them.

"Lan Xi, your two aunts came all the way to see me, and brought you a lot of things that are only available in Jiangnan!" Old Madam Shen was afraid that Shen Lan Xi would have an attack, so she quickly softened her tone, hoping that her granddaughter would give her face.

Shen Lanxi said in a cold tone: "Since you are here, stay for two days and then go back. I guess Jiangnan is busy and needs to go back as soon as possible!"

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang frowned and leaned back in their chairs with a stern face.

"Lan Xi, you are wrong. We have come here from thousands of miles away, and you don't even want us to stay longer. It sounds like you want us to go back as soon as possible!" Before the Shen family got into trouble, they would stay here with their whole family for more than half a year, and no one in the Shen family, from top to bottom, dared to say a word.

Today, she had to take the blame from this little bitch, and Shen Shuniang immediately put on her airs as an old lady.

"Yes, Lan Xi, this is what you did wrong. Your aunt and I, two elders, came here from so far away, and instead of treating us with delicious food and drinks, it sounds like you want to drive us away!" Shen Hui's mother and Shen Shun's mother sang the same tune.

Old Madam Shen's heart ached at that moment. In the past, due to face-saving, she had always been very nice to her two daughters in her correspondence, and never mentioned a word about Shen Lanxi being the overlord in the Shen family.

Now, the two daughters are about to get into big trouble.

"Shut up, don't act like you are from a humble family and act so arrogantly here!" Old Madam Shen scolded her two daughters with a sullen face.

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang only thought that their mother was helping them to scold Shen Lanxi, and they all looked at Shen Lanxi with smugness.

Just wait and see how her mother will deal with her.

"I'm talking about you. Why don't you get up quickly and apologize to Lan Xi!" Old Madam Shen scolded.

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang's faces changed immediately.

Let them apologize to Shen Lanxi?

Did they hear it correctly?

Seeing that her two daughters did not move, Old Madam Shen immediately scolded them: "There is no peace when you come to the mansion. If you are here to cause trouble, pack up your things and go back to Jiangnan. Don't come to our house again in the future."

Shen Shuniang and Shen Huiniang's faces changed drastically immediately.

They can't go back.

"Mother, what did we say wrong just now?"

"Yes, mother, how can an elder apologize to a younger person? Isn't this embarrassing for the younger person?"

"If outsiders knew about this, they would definitely say that Lan Xi was disrespectful to her elders."

"Yes, if such a reputation were to spread, the men and women of our Shen family would not be able to go out with dignity!"
