Madam Shen dismissed everyone except him, saying, "Yue'er, I know you dislike Yun Shi. Someone as lowly as her is indeed unworthy of you."
"However, you should know that it's not the right time to divorce your wife yet."
There will be plenty of ways to make Yun Xiyue obediently serve the Shen family like a slave in the future.
We can't divorce her now, because we haven't gotten our hands on the Yun family's assets yet.
The Shen family also failed to gain power in the imperial court.
Shen Yue lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"The full moon celebration for the little princess of the Prince of Qin's mansion is in a few days. What are your plans?"
Shen Yue said, "I will bring her along, Grandmother, please don't worry."
"Yes, it's good that you understand. Yun is just a woman. The fact that she's making a fuss means she has feelings for you. Try to appease her. She's the only daughter in the Yun family. As long as she's devoted to you, everything in the Yun family will be yours in the future."
“You always favor Lin Bao’er, so of course she’s unhappy. Once you’re healed, you should consummate your marriage with her.”
"All of this is for the future of the Shen family, Yue'er, you can't act impulsively anymore."
Shen Yue loosened his clenched fist. "I understand."
Grandmother is right. For the future of the Shen family, he must conquer Yun Xiyue and make her willingly serve him.
at night.
Shen Yue arrived at Zizhu Garden.
"Is there something you need, Lord Marquis?" Yun Xiyue had just finished dinner and was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.
Shen Yue stared at her and noticed that the woman's every move was dignified and elegant. She was not dressed in the gorgeous and bright clothes during the day. At this moment, she was just wearing a simple dress and no makeup, but her face was still bright and beautiful.
But every time, he has this unbearable look on his face, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"I am your husband, who gave you permission to speak to me like that?"
Yun Xiyue sneered inwardly, "The Marquis has arrived. Perfect timing, there's something I need to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Shen Yue took off his cloak and sat down.
"This is a list of some of the estates and shops owned by the Marquis's family that I know about. The money in the public accounts comes from these incomes."
"I think the Marquis's mansion has been operating at a loss for the past few years, so it's time to raise prices."
The things the Dowager Madam did were initially unknown even to the second and third branches of the family, so it was even less likely that Shen Yue would know.
Shen Yue took it and glanced at it. "Hmm, the rent is indeed too low. We can raise the price."
"If Your Excellency has no objections, then let's send someone to inform you of the price increase tomorrow!"
Shen Yue nodded and handed the list to Zhui Feng.
Have you eaten yet?
Yun Xiyue frowned slightly. "I've already used it. If there's nothing else, Lord Marquis, please go back!"
"Are you playing hard to get by with your aloofness?"
Yun Xiyue was taken aback. "Playing hard to get?"
Don't make me laugh.
"Your Excellency says you only have Lin Bao'er, but you want to consummate your marriage with me. Aren't you worried about hurting your Bao'er with such hypocrisy and fickleness?"
Being mocked by the woman instead, Shen Yue's face turned ashen with anger. "Shut up! When did I ever say I wanted to consummate our marriage?"
"Since that's not the case, why isn't the Marquis leaving?" A hint of disgust flashed in Yun Xiyue's eyes.
"Hmph, then you'll regret it!"
Yun Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief after the man left.
Shen Yue has been coming frequently lately.
This time she was able to use his arrogance to force him to leave, but who knows if she'll be able to avoid it next time.
The Shen family will not let her leave the Marquis's residence easily.
If the scheme failed last time, there will be a next time.
......
It was a rare occasion for the Prince of Qin's residence to host a banquet.
After having three sons, the King of Qin finally had a daughter. He then decided to hold a grand banquet to celebrate his daughter's one-month birthday. Today was a day off, and all the prominent nobles in the capital came to offer their congratulations.
Shen Yue sent someone to invite him early in the morning.
"elder sister."
Lin Bao'er stood next to Shen Yue, and this time she was smarter, her attire impeccable.
