Chapter 591: Need someone? Make sure to bring him back
"Prince, you're awake!"
"Where is that bitch?! Ouch! My butt!" Prince Hong opened his eyes and saw the guard staring at him. After his brain paused for a moment, he sat up and shouted. When he sat up, the pain in his butt made him groan. When he stood up, his head hit the top of the bed again, and a big bump appeared instantly. He felt dizzy.
"Prince, are you okay?" The guard beside him was startled by him and hurriedly helped him lie down: "The doctor said that you are seriously injured and you need to rest well."
Prince Hong not only had injuries on his butt, his face was also swollen like a pig's head, and he felt pain all over his body. Thinking of the scene of being beaten last night, he felt extremely humiliated: "Where were you all last night? I was beaten like this, and no one came in!"
"We didn't know what happened last night. We fainted out of nowhere. When we woke up, we found you lying on the ground. I guess someone drugged us, which is why we fainted!"
"And where is the eldest lady of the Shen family?"
"She was gone when we came in."
"It seems that this matter is related to her. The person last night is very likely in cahoots with her. Send someone to Minister Shen's residence to ask for the person. Make sure to bring the person back. Tell Minister Shen on my behalf that if he doesn't find the person and hand him over, don't blame me for turning my back on him!"
"Yes, Prince!"
"Also, send someone to the cell and find a way to deal with the old man and his wife."
Isn't she from the Duke's Mansion? Then I will let her see the consequences of offending me. Prince Hong's eyes are full of murderous intent.
Shen Wenting originally thought that after sending Chen Nianran over, even if she was a concubine, it would resolve the prince's suspicion, and he would also have a stable backer. But yesterday, Prince Hong suddenly came to him happily and said that he had given birth to a good daughter who was not only good at talking, but also gentle, considerate, generous, and understanding, and she won his heart. So, he came to discuss with him and decided to marry Chen Nianran as his second wife.
Of course he had been dreaming of marrying the prince as his co-wife, but he did not expect such a pleasant surprise. There was no need to discuss it at all. Shen Wenting agreed directly and asked Prince Hong to pick an auspicious day and marry her.
Prince Hong's original wife was also from the capital. She was originally a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a wealthy family. Later, she suddenly encountered an accident and followed him to his fiefdom. After her son died, she was too sad and followed him.
So Prince Hong remarried the daughter of a wealthy family in his fiefdom. The woman was extremely strong and usually controlled him tightly. In order to live a good life in his fiefdom, Prince Hong had to give in. Without the support of his wife's family, he was afraid that he would have a hard time in his fiefdom.
However, when he returned to the capital this time, his wife did not come back with him. So when Prince Hong returned to the capital, he dared to be so unscrupulous. Not only did he favor beautiful women every day, he also took in many concubines to make up for the desires and regrets of these years. He was extremely free these days. Without the control of that tigress, he felt that the wind was free. That's why he didn't want to go back to his fiefdom and live a life controlled by others.
The reason why he dared to take Chen Nianran as his co-wife was because he had found a reason and an excuse, saying that Shen Wenting had saved his life, and he had to marry his daughter to consolidate his position and connections in the capital, to put the overall situation first, and to take her back to warn the tigress that he was not without any confidence in the capital, but he did not expect that she would run away before he could marry her, and even teamed up with outsiders to beat him up. This is Shen Wenting's good daughter! When he catches her back, he must punish her.
"Wen Ting, did Prince Hong really agree to marry Nianran as his co-wife? That's great. I was worried before that she would be wronged by being a concubine, but I didn't expect that God would take pity on her and let her become the Prince's Consort." The old lady said with emotion.
"Of course it's true, mother. Prince Hong came to see me personally yesterday, how could it be false? He also said that the girl really likes him and wants to marry him."
"Didn't the girl resist or resent you?" The old lady was a little surprised. After spending the past two days together, she knew that the child was sensible, eloquent and hardworking. If it wasn't for the need to curry favor with the prince, she really would not have been willing to let her marry him.
"The prince said no. She is about to become the princess. What is there to resist? Maybe she has been looking forward to it for a long time!" Shen Wenting was also a little surprised that Chen Nianran didn't cry or make a fuss. It seemed that he had wronged her before. When she came back, he would have a good talk with her and let Yan Huan prepare a generous dowry for her. If she really became the princess, then his relationship with the prince would be stable and he would no longer have to worry about others instigating trouble.
"That's good. This way, everyone will be happy."
"Mom is right."
Just when the two were happy, the housekeeper came in, looking a little anxious.
"Master, Prince Hong's men are here."
"Prince Hong's men are here? They must be here to bring a betrothal gift to our family. Come with me to take a look." When Shen Wenting heard that someone was coming, he happily took people out to greet them.
When he arrived at the door, he saw the guards of Prince Hong's mansion coming over with people, but there was nothing behind them, and their faces seemed a little ugly. Could something have happened? It's impossible. Prince Hong came here in person yesterday. What could have happened? Shen Wenting comforted himself by thinking this, and then smiled and asked, "I don't know why Guard Jin came here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. But if the prince has anything to tell you, please come over."
"Master Shen, don't you know what happened?"
"But the marriage between the prince and my daughter? The prince and I have already discussed it yesterday..."
"The prince was beaten seriously last night." Guard Jin looked at him coldly.
"What? Who is so bold? Have they caught the person?!" Shen Wenting said in shock.
"It was the eldest daughter of the mansion's eldest daughter who did it with others, so the prince sent me here specially, asking you to hand over the young lady of the mansion!"
"Guard Jin, Nianran is just a weak woman, how could she seriously injure the prince? And you said to hand her over? Isn't Nianran in Prince Hong's mansion?! I have already sent her to the prince, why are you coming to me for her? She hasn't come back! I don't know where she is!" Shen Wen had a bad feeling.
"She left with someone last night. Our prince asked me to come here to tell you that if no one can be found to deliver the gift to the prince within three days, then Lord Shen will bear the consequences himself." After Guard Jin finished speaking, he took his men away from the Shangshu Mansion.
