Chapter 531 Superfluous move

Shen Meiru's expression became a little stiff as her thoughts were suddenly exposed, and she also felt a little humiliated.

"Mother, you misunderstood. I was just wandering around. How could I have such thoughts?"

Qin Xuerong sneered: "Humph, don't think I don't know what kind of person you are and what you are hiding, but I advise you to give up this idea."

Shen Meiru's eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "Mother, I really didn't..."

Qin Xuerong didn't have the patience to figure out her thoughts, so she said, "You're so smart, do you think marrying the Prince of Duan is a good thing?"

Shen Meiru was stunned by these words. She looked at Qin Xuerong with red eyes and asked, "What do you mean, mother?"

Seeing her ask this, Qin Xuerong knew that what the maid said just now was right. Shen Meiru did have the intention of seducing the princess and the prince.

Qin Xuerong sneered: "Do you know who that princess's son is? Why is he so prominent but still hasn't married yet?"

Shen Meiru shook her head. She really didn’t know.

She was just a concubine's daughter, she didn't even have the freedom to leave the mansion, and the people she could usually make friends with were mostly concubines' daughters from other mansions. How could she know the secrets of the Princess's Mansion?

Qin Xuerong mocked, "The princess's son was frightened when he was young, and he is a fool. He only knows how to eat, drink and fool around all day long, and knows nothing about matters between men and women."

Shen Meiru was stunned. She never expected it to be like this.

Qin Xuerong continued, "Not only that, the prince is nearly 20 years old, and even eating will get him all over himself. I also heard that he often rides me like a horse, and if I crawl a little slower, I will be beaten severely."

Shen Meiru was speechless and couldn't speak for a moment.

"Really...really?"

Qin Xuerong sneered: "Of course, the princess has a crush on Shen Shuyi, but this is not an easy job. Marrying a fool with an empty title like that will end your life. What's more, you have a princess as your mother-in-law. Do you think your life will be easy?"

Shen Meiru said immediately: "Thank you mother for your advice. I... really hadn't thought of this..."

Qin Xuerong's eyes were filled with satisfaction, and she said in a deep voice: "Such a good thing has happened to Shen Shuyi, which is also her retribution. Now, if you can help me do one more thing, I can promise to choose a good marriage for you."

Shen Meiru hesitated, as if she was doubting the credibility of Qin Xuerong's words.

But she seemed to have no choice.

After all, she had shown her affection to Shen Shuyi several times, but she had ignored him. Although Qin Xuerong's status in the Shen Mansion was not as high as before, she was still her father's legitimate wife...

Soon, Shen Meiru opened her mouth to test: "Mother...what do you want me to do?"

After saying that, as if she was afraid that Qin Xuerong would embarrass her, she immediately said: "Mei Ru is alone and weak, and she has always been timid and cowardly. If what mother asks Mei Ru to do is too..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Xuerong interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, this is not difficult, and it won't be difficult for you to do it."

"When it's done, I just need you to call most of the people to Yime Garden and catch the adulterer on the spot." A glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Qin Xuerong's eyes.

At the same time, the image of Shen Shuyi, dishevelled, sleeping in the same bed with that stupid prince emerged in her mind.

By then, she will become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

She couldn't wait to see what expression a person like her who thought so highly of herself would have at that time.

When she thought of this, Qin Xuerong felt indescribably anxious.

This is really exciting... No wonder Sister Yu sent someone to deliver a letter to me.

Shen Meiru had some vague guesses in her mind, but she was still not sure.

She whispered tentatively, "Mother...are you going to do something to my second sister..."

"Why do you want me to lead people to Yimei Garden?"

Qin Xuerong sneered, "You don't have to play dumb. Since the princess has set her eyes on Shen Shuyi, how can she escape? If it were a normal marriage, Shen Shuyi would definitely not want to. Now that she is the county princess, your father and I can hardly decide her marriage. What do you think...the princess will do?"

Shen Meiru was speechless for a moment.

She had witnessed with her own eyes the arrogance of the Guining monarch. If she had made up her mind to make Shen Shuyi her daughter-in-law, Shen Shuyi would probably not be able to escape today.

When she thought of this, Shen Meiru felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Is her second sister, who is so high and mighty and can make things happen with a wave of her hand, also going to fall from the altar like her eldest sister?

Would she be unwilling to be toyed with by such a stupid and foolish prince?

"But...but why would the princess do this? Isn't this..."

Shen Meiru spoke tremblingly, and Qin Xuerong sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. Why are there so many whys? This is the power of heaven. This is authority."

Shen Meiru clenched her fingers tightly, feeling only relieved at this moment.

Fortunately, Qin Xuerong stopped her, otherwise she couldn’t imagine what the consequences would be if she met the princess and the prince.

"When it's done, I'll send someone to inform you. All you have to do is find a way to lead everyone to Yimei Garden."

Shen Meiru's mind was racing. How could she lead everyone there?

Shen Meiru thought for a long time, raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Yimei Garden, her heart sank, and she said, "If I tell others that someone climbed into the prince's bed for the sake of wealth, will it be okay?"

Qin Xuerong frowned: "Stupid, no one will believe such a poor excuse."

Even though Princess Guining had put on a good show, no one would believe it.

But the matter is done, and no one will speculate about the princess of the current dynasty.

Even if everyone knew the truth, Shen Shuyi could only swallow it in silence.

But if Shen Meiru uses this excuse...it will only make people feel ridiculous...

Shen Meiru lowered her eyes, as if she felt a little aggrieved. After a moment, she looked up at Qin Xuerong and said, "I pretended to be injured and said I saw the thief and ran towards Yimei Garden?"

Qin Xuerong thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Remember to act more realistically."

"Yes."

After Shen Meiru agreed, she let out a sigh of relief, cut her arm with the dagger, and then threw the dagger into the snow pile.

The bright red blood slowly seeped down her sleeves, and soon Shen Meiru's face turned pale.

Qin Xuerong nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, go back now and wait for my news."

At that moment, Qin Xuerong returned to the plum garden first, while Shen Meiru found a place to hide first.

After the two left, Xiao Mengxi, who was about to return to the Plum Garden from Fengbo Pavilion, slowly walked out from behind a rock, her beautiful eyes gloomy.

Bi He, the confidant beside him, whispered: "This Minister Shen's wife is so bold that she actually insulted the prince like this. It's really abominable!"

Xiao Mengxi pulled the corner of her lip, her eyes cruel: "How dare you insult my son like this? The princess will record this account."

"But... should we still use the people we arranged to lead them to Yime Garden?" Bihe asked.

This was what they had originally planned, but they didn't expect Qin Xuerong to do something unnecessary.

Xiao Mengxi said calmly: "First keep an eye on the actions of the concubine of the Shen family. If she can't do it, then act according to the plan."
