Chapter 268 Conspiracy
Chapter 268 Conspiracy
Jiang Sujin touched the warm quilt and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yang Xiuyun prepared a crutch for Shen Yanfeng, so Shen Yanfeng could walk back and forth with the crutch without any problem.
The servants from the Shen Mansion came to look for him, but unfortunately Shen Yanfeng didn't go back at all and scolded the people who came and sent them away.
Shen Yanfeng had clearly returned, but he didn't spend the New Year at home, which made Shen Changfeng very angry.
Old Madam Shen was so angry that she had a headache. She felt that it was all Jiang Sujin's fault. The Empress Dowager was right. She must be punished, otherwise she would not behave herself.
On New Year’s Eve, they made sugar figures and pinched rice cakes together. The children felt very happy and fulfilled.
Shen Yanfeng was also very happy because he could be with his family and he felt that everything he did was particularly interesting.
Jiang Sujin suspected that his foot was fine, but he kept limping with a crutch and there was nothing she could do.
At night, they sat together to fold things. The children were very excited at first, but after a while, they could no longer open their eyelids.
Jiang Sujin asked the wet nurse to take them all to bed, and for a while they were the only two left in the room.
Jiang Sujin yawned, then said to Shen Yanfeng, "I'm sleepy too, you stay here alone!"
However, as soon as she stood up, Shen Yanfeng grabbed her arm.
"Don't go, let's stay up together!"
Jiang Sujin: "No, I'm sleepy."
Shen Yanfeng didn't allow her to refuse and directly pulled her onto his lap.
"Oh, you...let me go!"
Shen Yanfeng hugged her waist, leaned close to her face and said, "Don't leave, stay with me."
Jiang Sujin frowned and said, "Let go first!"
Shen Yanfeng hesitated for a moment, then let her go.
Jiang Sujin took a deep breath and then sat down.
Shen Yanfeng moved his stool towards her so that he could be closer to her.
Jiang Sujin glanced at him sideways, but did not distance herself from him.
Shen Yanfeng: "Before I lost my memory, were we good friends?"
Jiang Sujin heard this and her thoughts immediately went far away: "At least at that time, you respected me, cared about me, and were considerate to me."
Shen Yanfeng: "Don't you feel it? I care about you too now."
Jiang Sujin: "You are accommodating me now because you don't want to divorce me."
Shen Yanfeng: "I really don't want to be separated from you, but doesn't this just prove that I care about you?"
Jiang Sujin: "What you care about is that you can't sleep with me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng couldn't help but curl his lips: "This is not a conflict!"
Jiang Sujin: "It's different. How is this different from liking to visit Yihongyuan?"
When Shen Yanfeng heard this, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He held it in for a long time before saying, "I don't like Yihongyuan."
Jiang Sujin: "That's because you are picky."
Shen Yanfeng: “That’s true.”
Jiang Sujin: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year, you should go back!"
Shen Yanfeng: "My foot is injured."
Jiang Sujin glanced at him and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? How could the dignified Prince Yong'an hurt himself?"
Shen Yanfeng: "I really can't, but I can hurt myself."
Jiang Sujin: "No matter what, you should go back to pay New Year's greetings to your elders on New Year's Day."
"Otherwise, who knows how they would scold me?"
Shen Yanfeng glanced at her, then whispered, "I'm sorry, they sometimes go too far."
Jiang Sujin: "So you should go back quickly!"
Shen Yanfeng: "Then can you go back with me?"
Jiang Sujin: "The Shen family can't wait to find you a new bride. They don't even recognize me. How can I go back?"
Shen Yanfeng: "Then when can I come to see you?"
Jiang Sujin glanced at him, then hesitated for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we probably won't see each other many times in this lifetime."
Shen Yanfeng couldn't help but tear up when he heard this: "Is this a must for divorce?"
Jiang Sujin: "Now that things have come to this, the only way out is divorce."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng couldn't hold back his tears.
In this way, Jiang Sujin watched Shen Yanfeng cry for a long time, until firecrackers started to be set off outside, which meant that the New Year had arrived.
Shen Yanfeng finally left with red eyes. He did not say goodbye to Jiang Sujin and left the Jiang Mansion directly.
It was not until Shen Yanfeng left that Jiang Sujin could not help but shed tears.
In the morning, when Hanhan and Hehe saw Shen Yanfeng leaving, their little faces looked so aggrieved that they were about to cry.
Even Sisi, who was not even one year old yet, looked like she had lost something and was completely listless.
Jiang Sujin was naturally very sad when she saw this scene, but things had already developed to this point, and divorce was the best outcome.
She had no feelings for this stranger Shen Yanfeng, so she didn't feel sad when they divorced.
Now she just had to wait for a month to pass before asking the Empress Dowager to fulfill her request.
Yang Xiuyun was afraid that Jiang Sujin would feel uncomfortable if she mentioned it, so she didn't ask anything and acted as if Shen Yanfeng had never been there.
After Shen Yanfeng returned home and paid New Year's greetings, he started to have a fever.
For the next four days, he lay in bed, his mind filled with memories of him and Jiang Sujin.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager suddenly issued an order, asking the Prime Minister's wife to bring Jiang Sujin to the palace to attend a tea party.
Holding a tea party on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is the first time in history. The Empress Dowager has always disliked crowds, and no one knows what happened this time.
Although Jiang Sujin had some doubts in her heart, she quickly dressed up and prepared to enter the palace with Yang Xiuyun.
At the same time, Mrs. Shen was also invited to the tea party.
When Shen Yanfeng heard the news, Old Madam Shen was already preparing to leave the house.
"Grandma, where are you going?"
Madam Shen: "The Empress Dowager invited Grandmother to the palace for a tea party."
Shen Yanfeng: "Tea party? Then others must have been invited as well?"
Old Madam Shen said with an unnatural expression: "That should be the case. Grandmother doesn't know either."
Shen Yanfeng: "Grandma, I haven't paid New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager yet. Why don't I go with you?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen's face instantly became a little nervous. The Empress Dowager was definitely going to take action when she held a tea party this time.
If Shen Yanfeng were here, it would definitely add to the obstacles.
"Forget it. The tea party is full of women. It would be inconvenient for you to go."
Shen Yanfeng: "It's not like my grandson hasn't accompanied you there before. Besides, haven't you always wanted me to have more contact with Princess Showa? This is a good opportunity."
When Mrs. Shen heard this, the expression on her face softened a little.
"It's great that you can think it through. Princess Showa has loved you for a long time."
