Chapter 219

The night was completely falling outside the study door, and the lanterns on all sides pierced the night.

Inside the room, Chen Xu leaned weakly on the cold wooden floor, crying bitterly with sadness, tears flowing all over the floor, and the makeup on her face was also exhausted.

As soon as she was let go, she cried, while quickly stretched out her arms and pulled her skirt.

He pulled his shirt over his shoulders, grabbed the collar with both hands and pulled it in the middle, covering his body tightly.

For some reason, the pain has only slowly come up now. The pain makes her body tremble and her mind is even more messy.

The chaos in my heart not only contains indignation that was tainted, but also a faint worry and humiliation.

She was worried because the woman was not as happy as a man and she would be fine. The moment she was attacked, she thought that she might be pregnant.

Not every woman wants to be locked in a deep palace, holding a child to fight with others all day long!

No matter what, Zhu Gaoxu didn't give her time to consider it, she was not willing to do so, everything was in a hurry.

Is this man worth giving it to her? Is it something that a child brings to her and what she wants? Is it not ready for anything?

Chen Xu also felt great humiliation. The door of the study was open. She hated her voice in a daze and her reaction.

After the incident, she felt like a livestock just now, without the etiquette and reserve of anyone.

Chen Xu's crying became more and more sad. I don't know how long it took to let go, but I was really tired.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to help her up, and Chen Xu broke free from him. Don’t touch me, I hate you! It's so stupid. I originally thought the rumors of the King of Han were unreliable. When I met, I thought you were a humble and gentle gentleman, but I was pretending, but in fact you were just a bully!

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have suddenly changed his body, and said with guilt, "I didn't expect Mrs. Chen to be innocent." Let’s not talk about the rumors, have you been married?

Chen Xu no longer cared about his hidden feelings at this time and cried: When his husband reunited, he was in a terminal illness and married his wife just to make a happy match. At this time, his father also wanted to marry the Shen family. I didn't choose to get married, although I thought it was very good later...

What happened to those rumors?Zhu Gaoxu said.

Chen Xu choked and said: Of course it is fake! My family is rich and wealthy, why should I betray myself? However, there are many troubles in front of the widow, and I manage the Shen family business and often show up. Those officials and wealthy people are rarely rejected by women. Naturally, they are so angry that they say bad things about me everywhere.

She couldn't help but say: What I said in front of the King of Han, you are not afraid of your shadow slanting!So what about the rumors?But now, I have been upright and honest for so long, and the rumors have been confirmed!

I'm afraid it's not just a rejection... Zhu Gaoxu pondered.

Chen Xu was willing to do anything. He had no etiquette just now, and now he ignored it and glared at Zhu Gaoxu: What does it mean?

Zhu Gaoxu refused to answer and asked again: Mrs. Chen and Mu Sheng have been in contact with Mu Sheng for so long. Mu Sheng is the most powerful person in Yunnan. Didn’t he treat you like that?

Chen Xu said: Xiping Hou is not a person like you!

Zhu Gaoxu actually sighed: Mu Sheng is the real nobleman, and no matter how I learn, I am not Ah.

Chen Xu felt that this sentence was a bit strange, but he didn't get too entangled. She gradually calmed down, took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve, and silently lowered her head to wipe her tears.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I will be responsible.

Chen Xu hurriedly said: No need! Whether it is the Marquis of Xiping or the King of Han, they are all powerful people. If I have ambitions, why should I wait until today? Why should we take the risk of offending the powerful King of Han and do what we do to show the Queen of Xiping?

Zhu Gaoxu sat down with great interest, hoping that Mrs. Chen would tell me why Mrs. Chen wanted to play with me?

Chen Xu shook his head and said: I am tired of living and want to play with the King of Han! If it were not forcing the situation, why would I be so despicable?

Zhu Gaoxu asked: Is the situation forced?

Chen Xu took a few deep breaths, and his tone gradually calmed down. The ancestor of the Shen family (Chen Wansan) offended the Ming Dynasty Taizu and was then charged with the crime. My Xu family grandfather (Xu Fujiu) only dispersed all his wealth when he saw this situation to avoid a major disaster.

The Shen family's business is so profound that the court knows that even though the house was confiscated by the Ming Dynasty, it still has great wealth.

The King of Han thought, why did the Mu Mansion protect his family?

With Yunnan’s population, finance and taxation, why is the Mu family so rich?

It was nothing more than that the Mu family swallowed up the huge treasure of the family, and in return it had only protected the Shen family for many years.

Over the years, I have worked hard to manage the Shenjia family business, which has improved the remaining wealth and bought a lot of property.

Seeing this, the Queen of Xiping wanted to take me as her concubine and took the opportunity to annex the entire Shen family!

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if he has more concubines and less concubines. He can still get all the Shen family’s business in vain. Why not do it?

When King Min was in Yunnan, he also had this idea. King Min planned to let his son, who was less than ten years old, take my stepdaughter Chen Manshu as his concubine.

Because the family has no son and only one daughter, Shen Jiajiajiajie should be owned by Chen Manshu, King Min used this to compete with the Queen of Xiping for the Shen Jiajiajie.

The Chen Mansion seems luxurious, but in fact it has long become the meat in the bowl of powerful people!

Xiping Hou was quite polite before and wanted my heart to belong to him.As soon as the King of Han arrived in Yunnan, he forced me eagerly, for fear that the King of Han and King Min would be the same as each other, so he competed with him for the fat meat at his mouth...

I see.Zhu Gaoxu nodded. King Min had a deep grudge with Mu Mansion in Dian, and it seemed that there were more than just those grudges on the surface. After all, it was just to compete for profit.

Chen Xu continued: Although King Min changed his vassal of Huguang, he was obsessed with the wealth of the Shen family. He left someone in Yunnan Prefecture City and forced me to give my daughter to his son as a concubine.

Of course, I was unwilling to give it to others by the family business I worked hard to manage, and the mother and daughter became a plaything in a cage together.I abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and operate legally. Why would I be willing to end like this?

Zhu Gaoxu looked sympathetic and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Xu said again: The King of Han is the legitimate son of the current emperor, so I thought of using the King of Han to deter tigers and wolves. If the two of them look like tigers and wolfs, the King of Han will be like a fierce leopard. If they get too close to His Highness, they will still have the same fate, and it is nothing more than a different person. I am walking on thin ice in the cracks. How dare I tease Your Highness?

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a long time and said, "Since Mrs. Chen has already committed herself to me, you might as well follow me, such as King Min or Marquis of Xiping, I am not afraid of any of them, and I will protect you."

Chen Xu's face was depressed and his eyes wandered on Zhu Gaoxu's face. She felt that Zhu Gaoxu was even more terrifying than Mu Sheng and King Min, because he was strong enough and brave enough, and did not follow the rules in his work!

But Zhu Gaoxu is different from Mu Mansion and Prince Min Mansion. Chen Xu feels vaguely that he does not seem to be coming to annex the Shen family business... It seems that he is just lustful.

Just like just now, he was completely shameless and very indulgent.

Chen Xu was silent for a long time, glanced at his entangled shallow beard, and blushed and said: Why don’t your highness tell me some reason? At this time, she felt a little confused, but suddenly realized that she could not offend Zhu Gaoxu too much.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I am very reasonable. If Mrs. Chen hadn't blamed me for playing tricks on me, I wouldn't have done that to my wife today.

Chen Xu hurriedly said: Your Highness humiliates me. You are a royal family and naturally don’t have to be interrogated by the government, but this is your Highness’s fault. Why should I bear the consequences?

Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise: My real man, when will Mrs. Chen bear the consequences?

Chen Xu immediately followed his words: Since this is the case, even if I lose my virginity to Your Highness, I don’t have to become a vassal of Your Highness?

It seems to be the reason. Zhu Gaoxu pondered, and after a while, he looked up at her and said, "Mrs. Chen had some misunderstandings. My proposal just now had no intention of persecution. I just said an attitude, and I will not abandon it until the beginning or end. If Mrs. Chen doesn't want to, it's up to you.

He paused for a moment and said: I have no intention of swallowing the Shen family’s property. Even if the Shen family has a lot of money, it is just a family. If I have ambitions, I would be too stingy!My father is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and is rich in all directions. I am the son of my father. I still lack the little money for your family?

Chen Xu said softly: I hope the King of Han will know more things in the future, and he will not regret it.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said: Why do I have to annex the Shen family? Why don’t you and I cooperate with each other and make profits together?

Chen Xu clasped his messy heart with his arms and said in confusion: His Highness the King of Han is not a merchant, and you and I cannot be on par with equality...

Zhu Gaoxu stared at Chen Xu's face with bright eyes: I need Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen needs me too. Isn't this reason enough to form an alliance?

Let me think about it for a few days, can I? Chen Xu said.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, took off his light purple round-collar robe and wrapped it around Shen Xu.

Chen Xu looked down at the red stain on the plain white skirt, but did not refuse, and she saluted again: Thank you, Your Highness. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye.

I'll send you home.He nodded.

Chen Xu said: The servant has a carriage and horse waiting outside the Han Palace. Your Highness is kind, and I will understand it both physically and mentally.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her embarrassed hair and clothes and said: The carriage from the Han Palace can be outside the study door. Mrs. Chen can get on the carriage when she goes out, and then take the carriage to the Shen Mansion. The lady will lift her left and right before getting off the car, which can at least cover it up.

After hearing this, Chen Xu avoided his eyes and said: I would rather be respectful than obey my orders, I will be very busy.

So Zhu Gaoxu brushed his hair casually, picked up a big hat and put it on, and walked to the door and shouted: Come on, prepare the car.Hurry out to the study door!

A sharp voice said: I obey the order.

When Chen Xu got on the carriage, she hid beside the carriage, wrapped in a wide robe.

Her hand quietly reached her waist and gently touched her abdomen. The lights outside were blurred along the way, and she could no longer say a word.
