Chapter 248 The Shen family's illegitimate daughter is reborn!
Qiu Fangyun became more and more excited as she spoke, and her breathing became somewhat labored.
Clearly, this daughter, whom she had raised for over a decade, had infuriated her!
But Qiu Fangyun was also helpless. She knew that Shen Shuya was not her biological daughter and that her current actions were ridiculous, but she just couldn't let go of this mother-daughter bond.
Compared to the submissive Shen Shuqing, the capricious Shen Shuya actually receives more favor from Qiu Fangyun.
Parental love can sometimes be irrational.
Despite being the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, Shen Shuqing was still an outsider to Qiu Fangyun!
Zhou Wei also found the matter strange. "Mrs. Shen, if you ask me, your Miss Shuya is too willful."
"Back then, she was willing to give up her position as the eldest daughter of the heir to avoid marrying the prince. Why is she now trying to kill herself?"
"Besides, what kind of teahouse or tavern is the Duke of Qi's mansion? You, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, can just change people whenever you want!"
"Is the face of the Duke of Qi's mansion as good as the insoles of your Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess almost burst out laughing.
What face, shoe insoles? Weiwei's words are really interesting!
Qiu Fangyun knew she was in the wrong, but for Shen Shuya's sake, she could only continue to lower her stance.
"I know this is absurd, but Shuya is determined to marry the Crown Prince, so I have no choice but to put aside my pride and do this for her."
Zhou Wei frowned, sensing that this matter was not simple.
"Madam Shen, you've come to the princess to discuss the marriage with my third prince. Could it be that Shen Shuya came up with this plan?"
Qiu Fangyun's expression froze for a moment, and Zhou Wei knew she had guessed correctly.
They also knew what Shen Shuya was planning.
It's just that she's now insisting on changing people, and she's afraid of offending the Duke of Qi's mansion, and she's also afraid that the Duke's mansion won't agree, so she wants to use the status of the eldest princess and the crown princess as a shield.
Is the Duke of Qi's mansion really determined to marry their eldest daughter, Shen Shuqing, into the family?
Then we'll have no choice but to compete with the Third Prince for her.
What a clever tactic to shift the blame!
The eldest princess naturally understood the key point and refused without hesitation.
Zhou Wei spoke first, saying, "Madam Shen, this matter concerns the marriage between our two families and is a major life event for the Third Prince and Miss Shuqing. We need to consider it carefully."
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Qiu Fangyun's eyes.
Zhou Wei did not refuse, which means that the Eldest Princess did not refuse.
“Aunt Zhou is right! The Third Prince is handsome and talented, and is also the Crown Princess’s younger brother. Although Shuqing grew up in a poor and remote area of Qingzhou, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, so her status is acceptable.”
"Your Highness knows that you now command a large and elite army, and you may not care about my Marquis's mansion. But I assure Your Highness that if Shuqing marries the Third Prince, my entire Shen family will follow the princess's lead."
What Qiu Fangyun was referring to was actually the 300,000 troops under the control of the Marquis of Zhenyuan!
It seems that in order to help Shen Shuya, an illegitimate daughter, achieve her goal, she was willing to tie the entire Marquis's family to the Eldest Princess's boat.
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "There's no need to make it sound so serious. Madam's arrival is quite timely; I have something to discuss with you."
The eldest princess was also confused upon hearing this, not knowing what Zhou Wei was trying to do.
But she remained quiet and did not interrupt Zhou Wei, letting Zhou Wei do as she pleased.
Qiu Fangyun quickly and cautiously asked, "What is Aunt Zhou talking about?"
"Does Madam still remember Wan Qianliang, whose identity I exposed when I was examining the young master at the Marquis's residence that day?"
Qiu Fangyun naturally remembered. She nodded and said, "I have heard that His Majesty ordered the princess to go to Kongshan Temple to pray for the people and to take this person to Shenyi Valley for disposal. Is there anything the Marquis's mansion can do for you along the way?"
Zhou Wei nodded: "The princess and I will be setting off soon. The journey is long and we don't know when we will be able to return to the capital. It would be terrible if we missed the marriage between our two families."
"Why not let your eldest daughter, Shuqing, accompany the princess to the blessed land? The princess can get to know her better by spending time with her along the way."
This request was absurd, but Qiu Fangyun pondered for a moment and then agreed.
"Since Your Highness needs Shuqing, I will naturally not refuse. Besides, when Shuqing marries into the Third Prince's residence in the future, she will have to call Your Highness 'elder sister.' Getting to know each other early is actually a good thing."
Although the marriage proposal was not entirely successful, at least the eldest princess did not refuse.
Qiu Fangyun breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving behind a large number of gifts, she left the princess's residence with her entourage.
Once everyone had left, the eldest princess asked, "Weiwei, why did you want Shen Shuqing to come with us to the Valley of Divine Healers?"
Don't you know that her master is Wan Fengnian?
The princess did not ask this question, after all, it was Shen Shuqing's secret.
She wouldn't have known if she hadn't been given a second chance at life.
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Princess, when I beat Wan Qianliang, a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, into being an imposter at the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence that day, I discovered that Shen Shuqing's relationship with him was unusual."
"Later, I interrogated Wan Qianliang, and he told me that Shen Shuqing was also a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, and was even his master Wan Fengnian's favorite disciple!"
In fact, Wan Qianliang never said that, but that didn't stop Zhou Wei from making up lies.
As long as her princess knows that Shen Shuqing is Wan Fengnian's weakness, that's enough!
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Weiwei had known about Wan Fengnian's illicit relationship with Shen Shuqing all along. That was good.
She doesn't need to make up lies anymore!
"So, your suggestion to bring Shen Shuqing along was also a test to see if it could lure Wan Fengnian out?"
Zhou Wei nodded in agreement: "Since Wan Fengnian likes this disciple so much, he will definitely come to her rescue if he sees her in danger! But if he doesn't show up, then..."
The eldest princess quickly replied, "That means he can't appear; he's most likely being controlled by someone."
clever!
Furthermore, bringing Shen Shuqing along can appease Wan Qianliang, that sycophant, and prevent him from doing something foolish out of desperation.
All things considered, their team is growing larger and larger.
Besides the eldest princess and Zhou Wei, there is also Zhu Qi, the young monk from Kongshan Temple, Tan Lin from Zhengshan Academy, as well as Wan Qianliang from the Divine Doctor Valley and Shen Shuqing.
Finally, there's Jiang Zao, and of course, we can't forget A Bao.
Seven people plus a panda—that's considered seriously overloaded in a minivan!
The princess felt uneasy when she thought of Qiu Fangyun's words that Shen Shuya's personality had changed drastically after she took a nap.
She always felt that Shen Shuya's situation was somewhat similar to her own.
After thinking for a long time, the eldest princess asked, "Weiwei, why do you think Shen Shuya suddenly changed? She clearly disliked the prince's body, but now she is trying to marry him."
"In order to marry Qi Jingming, she was even willing to use the Zhenyuan Marquis's greatest asset, the 300,000 troops, as a bargaining chip?"
This……
In fact, Zhou Wei had already guessed it in her heart.
However, Shen Shuya's situation has deviated significantly from the original plot and contains some bizarre and strange elements.
Zhou Wei didn't know if the Princess would accept what she said.
Seeing Zhou Wei hesitate, the princess scolded her, "What is there to hold back between us? Say whatever you think, and I will believe you as long as it is you."
Row!
Jiang Yueli's words are enough.
Zhou Wei immediately said, "Princess, I suspect that this illegitimate daughter of the Shen family has been reborn!"
Upon hearing this, the princess felt a pang of anxiety and couldn't help but clench her fists.
