Chapter 393 393 Empress Jia’s speech skills

“But my elder sister has been wronged a lot in this matter.”

Facing Shen Xiang’s astonished gaze, Empress Jia continued: “Just like Aiqing, she experienced the pain of losing her daughter. Immediately afterwards, what she got was not her husband’s care, but house arrest.”

Shen Xiang’s heart trembled, and he subconsciously avoided Empress Jia’s gaze.

Empress Jia continued: “Not only that, her husband also concealed the news of her daughter’s death, changed his name, and mourned her daughter.”

Shen Xiang lowered his head, his eyes rolled wildly, not knowing how to deal with it.

Jia is still going on.

“What’s more, her husband tried in vain to take an illegitimate daughter from outside his mansion into the mansion—to replace her daughter.”

Speaking of this, the expression on Jia’s back has turned cold.

“I dare to ask Aiqing, if Aiqing is my elder sister, can she swallow this breath?”

Shen Xiang’s heart trembled again, he quickly got up again, and saluted after Jia.

“Your Majesty, let me tell you! There are other things in this matter, and the matter is not exactly what Madam said!”

“Oh? Then Aiqing might as well tell me what’s going on.” Empress Jia looked annoyed.

Shen Xiang hurriedly continued: “The reason for ordering the confinement of Madam in the courtyard is to prevent Madam from knowing the news of Rong’er’s death and being unable to bear it.”

“As for Lian Er.”

“Weichen did not take her into the mansion to replace Rong’er.”

“She is just the adopted daughter of a minister, and after entering the mansion, she will also worship under the name of his wife.”

“The minister and his wife have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years, how could they do such an unrighteous thing?”

Master Shen spoke so convincingly that, if he hadn’t known the reasons behind everything, Empress Jia would have almost believed his words.

“So, Shen Lian is really Ai Qing’s illegitimate daughter raised outside?” Empress Jia said quickly. There was undisguised sullenness in his tone.

It is already an open secret in Jia’s family and her that Prime Minister Shen is raising a concubine outside.

But everyone didn’t bring the matter to the table because of face.

Now, the fig leaf has been completely uncovered.

Shen Xiang was taken aback.

His complexion sank, and then he looked up at Queen Jia.

“Yes.” Then, he admitted directly.

Hou Jia’s eyes flickered.

“Then Aiqing, do you still remember that when she proposed to marry my elder sister, she promised my father and what I said?” asked.

Sun phase complexion is more gloomy.

“Remember.” Said in a deep voice.

How could he not remember such a great humiliation.

When Empress Jia saw this, she was not in a hurry, but sighed, and picked up the teacup on the coffee table.

Then took a sip.

“I actually don’t blame you for breaking your original promise.”

“After all, you have already become the prime minister of the dynasty. Letting you guard a woman for decades is really wronging you.”

Shen Xiang was taken aback. The anger in my heart was quickly dispelled a lot.

Unexpectedly, Empress Jia brought the conversation here, but did not pursue it further.

“What’s strange about this palace is that you gave Sister Bengong a dream that all women look forward to. But you shattered the dream with your own hands.”

“Shen Hongyu, the harm you caused to sister is much deeper than you think.”

Shen Xiang was taken aback.

Thinking of his arrogant wife, a rare sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

Seeing this, Empress Jia continued: “Before you were raising a concubine outside, Bengong persuaded Sister to turn a blind eye and forget it.”

“After all, there is no man who is not romantic.”

“As long as you don’t bring these matters to the surface. As long as she is the only mistress of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

Prime Minister Shen lowered his head and did not answer.

Over the years, he has indeed done so.

Although there were other women outside, she never let those women take the initiative to appear in front of her wife.

It was his wife who dealt with his outer room when she first found out that he was in the outer room.

At that time there was a quarrel between them.

In the end, Mrs. Yi backed down, and he didn’t bring people to the bright side, ending the quarrel.

Over the years, although he and his wife are no longer in love with each other, they are respectful to each other.

If nothing happened to Rong’er, this situation would definitely continue.

But who made Rong’er choose to commit suicide?

He had no choice but to choose Lian Er to replace Rong Er.

All of this is not entirely for himself, but for the Shen family.

Jia Hou glanced at Shen Xiang and sighed again.

Put down the teacup.

“The reason why Aiqing, the Jia family, and Bengong have been able to help each other is because Aiqing married Bengong’s elder sister and gave birth to Rong’er.”

“But now, Aiqing wants to take Shen Lian into the mansion.”

Shen Xiang raised his head and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Empress Jia.

“I also want to betroth Shen Lian to Rong’er’s former fiancé-in-law.”

Empress Jia said, looking at Prime Minister Shen.

“If I remember correctly. Aiqing is going to train Lord Song to support the Song family, right?”

Song Rui, she still remembers that person.

Before, she intended to recruit that man to be her son-in-law to Xiangyang, but he declined.

In addition, Shen Xiang came to her and asked her to beg, so she gave up her previous idea.

But I didn’t expect that girl Shen Rong to be so ignorant.

Not to mention giving up such an excellent man, he was also bewitched by a poor scholar, and even committed suicide.

Sister, it’s just that I was born with no intentions. He actually gave up his daughter as well.

Now, Shen Rong is gone.

The connection between her and the Jia family and Prime Minister Shen was broken. How will they maintain the previous trust in the future?

Shen Xiang looked solemn, and he also sighed in his heart.

If Shen Rong hadn’t disappeared, why did things come to this?

He has cooperated with the empress and the Jia family for many years, if he had no choice, how could he be willing to offend them and cause trouble for himself.

He also had no choice but to arrange it this way.

“Yes.” Then, Shen responded.

He has to pave the way for Song Rui and plan for the future of the Song family.

These things cannot be hidden from the queen.

The queen glanced at Prime Minister Shen and smiled, but the smile was tinged with coldness.

“In this case, sister Bengong’s worry is not unreasonable.”

“Aiqing can bring Shen Lian into the mansion today. Tomorrow, she can bring Shen Lian’s mother into the mansion.”

“And, today is Shen Lian, Shen Yi, tomorrow it may be Shen Er, Shen San, or even more people.”

Shen Xiang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Empress Jia again.

“Ai Qing wants to say that’s not the case?”

Empress Jia smiled.

“Maybe not right now.”

“Lovely Qing wants to betroth Shen Lian to the future head of the Shen family.”

“With Song Rui’s status rising, wouldn’t Shen Lian have other thoughts? Wouldn’t she want to fight for her birth mother’s status?”

“At that time, many things will not be what Aiqing thinks, but what can be done.”

Shen Xiang frowned, and the speech he had prepared was blocked in his mouth.

Just because he knows that what Empress Jia said has a high probability of becoming a reality.

But as long as Song Rui can succeed him, support the Shen family.

At that time, what will the Jia family do with him?

But right now, he wants to pave the way for Song Rui, but it is not easy to offend Empress Jia and the Jia family.

“How about the empress?” After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xiang finally said.

As soon as this remark was made, it was considered a concession.
