Chapter 143 This is a gift!
"I see!"
Yun Chuhuan looked serious, as if he had taken on some huge task, and asked in a low voice:
"and then?"
"Then,"
Yun Shu imitated his expression and whispered:
"There's no after that."
"And then... huh?"
Yun Chuhuan's expression faltered in an instant, and he turned his head away in disbelief:
"That's it?"
"That's it." Yun Shu nodded affirmatively.
"no,"
Yun Chuhuan looked around and pulled Yun Shu to a more secluded corner, saying angrily:
"Fifth sister, no matter how inexperienced you are, you should know that this kind of revenge is just a joke and won't have any effect, right?"
"From what you said, you seem to be quite experienced?"
Yun Shu was amused by the expression on his face and crossed her arms with interest:
"Then in your opinion, what do you think should be done?"
"I……"
Yun Chuhuan was speechless for a while after being asked:
“Although I haven’t figured out how to do it specifically, I know you’ll be laughed at if you do this!
Even if we can't really overthrow the Eastern Palace, we have to at least do something that can cause actual harm!
How can…”
"okay."
Seeing that the child was about to get angry, Yun Shu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Raising his hand and patting Yun Chuhuan on the shoulder, Yun Shu coughed lightly:
"The thing I just asked you to do was actually just to verify my guess.
If you guess correctly, there will naturally be other moves to follow.
But if I'm wrong, I'll have to make another plan."
"What guess? What plan?"
Knowing that Yun Shu was just teasing him and actually had other plans, Yun Chuhuan swept away his previous depression and became excited again:
"What do you need me to do?"
"Just wait and see!"
Waving his hand lazily, Yun Shu turned around and said slowly:
"Aren't you the one who likes to join in the fun?"
"Just tell me first!"
Yun Chuhuan uttered a cry, quickly grabbed Yun Shu's sleeve again, and followed her to Fengyang Palace in a coquettish manner.
At the same time, in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion,
Shen Jingshu, who had been targeted by Yun Shu, was now standing in the right prime minister's study, holding a piece of letter in her trembling hands.
With those tearful eyes, how could he look the kind of joyful one would expect from an upcoming wedding?
The letter in her hand had already been clenched into a crumpled mess. Shen Jingshu tried her best to suppress her emotions, and looked at the familiar yet strange person in front of her with red eyes.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice trembled:
"Grandfather, I can't..."
"You have to."
The Right Prime Minister interrupted her coldly.
He didn't even bat an eyelid, sitting steadily behind the desk from beginning to end, with no emotion visible on his face.
It was as if the person standing in front of him now was not his granddaughter whom he had loved for more than ten years, but a stranger who had nothing to do with him.
The other's tears could not inspire any sympathy from him——
"This is the prince's order."
"But if my granddaughter really does this, she will never be able to turn over again!"
After holding back tears for a long time, they finally fell. Shen Jingshu said sadly:
"Grandfather, if that's the case, then what's the point of my granddaughter marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" "You've become a useless chess piece since the day your plan failed at the Tianwaitian Restaurant!"
The Right Prime Minister slammed his palm on the table, as if he was very dissatisfied with Shen Jingshu's disrespectful attitude towards him, and his originally calm face finally became a little angry:
"To put it nicely, a concubine is called a concubine, but to put it bluntly, she is a concubine!
You are the legitimate granddaughter of my Right Prime Minister, but you can only be a concubine to the prince. Do you think those shrewd people in the capital can't guess what happened that day?
Now your only value is to help the prince get rid of Princess Sheng An.
If this is successful, perhaps the Crown Prince will look after you for the sake of my Right Prime Minister's Mansion."
"But……"
"No buts!"
The right prime minister said mercilessly:
"If you don't even have this little value, you should know what will happen to you!"
Yes, she knew it.
The gleam of hope in Shen Jingshu's eyes suddenly shattered.
How could she not know?
The Right Prime Minister's Mansion does not keep idle people, but in the past, because she was valuable enough, she was very much loved in the mansion. As time went by, she had an illusion that maybe she was different, and maybe the elders in the family all loved her sincerely.
But illusions are just illusions after all.
Shen Jingshu stared blankly at the letter in her hand that determined her future fate. All her emotions seemed to be drained away at this moment.
After a long while, she finally responded in a low voice:
"My granddaughter knows."
"..."
Three days later, the prince got married.
Because he was just marrying a concubine, there was no wedding ceremony or ceremony at the chapel.
Even the East Palace simply hung a few red cloths.
According to the rules, Shen Jingshu would be sent to the Eastern Palace from the Right Prime Minister's Residence in a sedan chair at 10 a.m.
Yun Shu and the others only needed to go there at noon to celebrate and have a not-so-grand banquet.
But rules are rules. In fact, Yun Shu had already left the palace with Yun Chuhuan at around eight or nine o'clock.
Yun Chuhuan held a small box in his arms. From the moment he got on the carriage, he was extremely excited:
"Fifth sister, are we going to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion now?"
"What's so good about going to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion? I just took advantage of today's day off to come out and listen to the people's opinions on the new business tax."
Glancing at the ugly and strange little box in his arms, Yun Shu looked odd:
"What are you talking about?"
"This is the wedding gift I prepared for my brother, the Crown Prince!"
Yun Chuhuan said as a matter of course:
"I'm short of money recently. I can't afford to buy gifts, so I can only make them myself.
This is my gift, I'm sure the Crown Prince and Concubine Shen won't mind it!"
"You're quite smart!"
The prince marrying a concubine was not considered a formal wedding. As a younger brother, Yun Chuhuan went over to have a meal and presented a "gift" he had made himself as a gift. No one could find anything wrong with it.
Although the prince might secretly hate me, what does it matter?
The relationship between Concubine Liu and the Queen has never been good, and now the feud between Yunshu and the Crown Prince has become even bigger.
Yun Chuhuan is the son of Concubine Liu, and he is so close to Yun Shu, so it is impossible for him to have a good relationship with the prince!
Yun Shu looked at the ugly box with some curiosity and asked casually:
"What's in here?"
"I'm not pretending to have anything!"
