Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 180 Shen Murui's Choice

Jiang Zhuo, who had just approached, was stunned when he heard this.

Jiang Zhuo glanced at Shen Murui, who was cautiously glancing at him, and couldn't help but frown slightly, asking, "Help with what?"

It was clear that the question was directed at Murong Jing, not Shen Murui, so Shen Murui lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes.

Murong Jing couldn't see anything unusual about Shen Murui.

He repeated to Jiang Zhuo, "Help Miss Shen move to the west courtyard, to Yingyue Pavilion. Ask Feng Yue to come along; he knows the place."

As for why he didn't just let Feng Yue handle it, His Highness Prince Qin didn't think that much about it; it was just that Jiang Zhuo happened to be there.

Yingyue Pavilion is located next to Huangfeng Garden, and it is an independent residence. It is not far from Huangfeng Garden, about ten zhang away.

Since Yingyue Pavilion was previously uninhabited and vacant, it needs time to be cleaned.

Of course, all of these tasks were arranged by Feng Yue.

Shen Murui followed Jiang Zhuo towards the west courtyard. Fortunately, there was a maid named Xiaoyun behind them, otherwise the atmosphere would have been incredibly awkward.

Shen Murui could sense that Jiang Zhuo seemed somewhat unwilling, so the slight flutter in her heart was suppressed by embarrassment.

I could only walk on in silence.

She followed behind, occasionally glancing up and glancing briefly at Jiang Zhuo's tall and handsome back.

After scanning, a wave of sadness washed over me again.

Xiaoyun, the maid following behind, naturally noticed that something was wrong with her young mistress, but now was not the time to ask questions, so she lowered her head and followed silently behind.

Actually, Jiang Zhuo wasn't unhappy. He was just puzzled by the fact that Murong Jing had called Shen Murui "Miss Shen" earlier. He remembered that Murong Jing had clearly called her "Madam Shen" a few times before. How could she have become "Miss Shen" in just a few days?

Each lost in their own thoughts, they made their way to the west courtyard.

Feng Yue arrived first and was instructing people to clean Yingyue Pavilion.

After giving his instructions, he went into Huangfeng Garden.

Su Mowan put down the bowl and spoon in her hand.

Just as they were thinking about how to get rid of Granny Wei as soon as possible, Feng Yue came in.

Su Mowan was afraid that Granny Wei would stay and continue rambling, so she quickly greeted Feng Yue first: "What do you need me for?"

Feng Yue was a little embarrassed by her sudden enthusiasm. He glanced at Granny Wei beside him and finally understood the reason for her enthusiasm. He quickly poured out his heart.

"His Highness has asked Madam Shen to move to the West Courtyard, to Yingyue Pavilion next to yours. I came to inform you first."

Upon hearing this, Granny Wei, who was about to leave, stopped and stayed.

She put down the bowl in her hand, frowned, and said, "Did the Prince say why Madam Shen should move here? She can't just come to our West Courtyard without a reason, can she?"

In Wei Mama's opinion, this must be because Shen Murui had spoken ill of her master. Wei Mama had also seen and remembered Shen Murui's favor these past few days.

Clearly, Granny Wei didn't like Shen Murui very much.

In her opinion, Shen Murui's blatant request to move to the West Courtyard was just a ploy to one day oust Su Mowan from her position as a concubine.

Therefore, Granny Wei became wary.

Feng Yue finally found a kindred spirit and immediately frowned: "The prince didn't say why, he only asked his subordinates to clean up. Madam Shen was living comfortably in the east courtyard, why would she suddenly want to move to the west courtyard?"

Granny Wei was an old woman from the palace, and she had seen a lot of competition for favor.

She always felt that this matter was inappropriate.

So she said, "No, I'd better go and ask the Prince about this."

Granny Wei was a favorite of the Empress, so she had the courage and the right to ask such a question.

Su Mowan, who had only uttered one sentence from beginning to end, quickly called out to Granny Wei.

"Granny, don't be in such a hurry! Why are you all acting like you're facing a formidable enemy? Putting aside whether Madam Shen has ulterior motives or not, even if she does, I'm not afraid! Your attitude makes the people of Huangfeng Garden seem petty."

Upon hearing Su Mowan's words, Feng Yue immediately nodded guiltily. When did he stoop so low as to speak ill of women behind their backs? As a grown man, he was indeed a little ashamed!

Granny Wei, on the other hand, was quite self-righteous.

They've managed to stand their ground, but they still won't budge.

“This old servant absolutely must go. You can’t stand being bullied right now, and the Emperor and Empress are asking about it closely. This old servant dares not be negligent! Why would Madam Shen, who was living peacefully in the East Courtyard, suddenly move here? She must have some ulterior motive! That lady over there has always been at odds with you, so we should be careful!”

There's some truth to what Granny Wei said.

However, Su Mowan believed that even if Shen Murui made any moves, they wouldn't harm her. She wasn't that stupid; she wouldn't be outmaneuvered by Shen Murui.

Secondly, Shen Murui looks timid and probably doesn't have the guts to harm anyone.

Although she was also puzzled as to why Murong Jing had suddenly brought Shen Murui to the West Courtyard, since Murong Jing had agreed to it, it was too late for Granny Wei to ask now.

"Granny, the Prince just agreed to this. Even if you ask, can he take it back? The Prince would lose face."

Given Murong Jing's personality, his words are like nails hammered into the wall, leaving no room for change.

These words calmed Wei Mama down.

She had watched Murong Jing grow up since she was a child. Murong Jing wouldn't just leave someone with ill intentions like Shen Murui unattended. Could there be something else going on here?

Granny Wei was very puzzled.

Seeing that she had finally persuaded the person to stop, Su Mowan remembered another question: "Granny, when did the Seventh Princess leave?"

Last night, the Seventh Princess stayed at Huangfeng Garden. Su Mowan just went in to take a look, and the quilt on the bed had already been neatly made.

Only when the Seventh Princess was mentioned did Granny Wei's face break into a smile.

She said with a look of worry and sorrow, "The Seventh Princess was sent back to the palace by the Prince early this morning. The child was terrified last night!"

At this point, Granny Wei felt something was amiss.

He chuckled and said, "It's all over now, she's fine and alright! Consort Su, please don't worry!"

Su Mowan's eyes flashed.

Judging from Granny Wei's expression, it was clear that what happened last night was not so simple, but Granny Wei obviously did not want to say more, so she had no choice but to find an opportunity to ask Jiang Zhuo.

As soon as Granny Wei left, Su Mowan sat up abruptly.

She put on her shoes and got off the low couch, saying to Feng Yue who was standing there, "Let's go, I'll go and take a look at Yingyue Pavilion too."

Su Mowan was unwilling to assume that Shen Murui was a scheming person, but Shen Murui was, after all, Shen Muyue's sister, and there was no guarantee that Shen Muyue wouldn't secretly instigate her.

So I have to go and take a look.

Just as Jiang Zhuo and Shen Murui were about to enter Huangfeng Garden, they ran into Su Mowan and Feng Yue, who were stepping out.

Su Mowan glanced at Shen Murui behind Jiang Zhuo and found that only Shen Murui was there; the maid who had accompanied her was gone.

I suppose they're going back to Tingyuxuan to pack their things.

When the two groups met, Shen Murui was the most uncomfortable, but fortunately Jiang Zhuo was blocking her way, which made her feel less awkward.

Jiang Zhuo clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Consort Su".

Standing behind him, Shen Murui bit her lip and timidly called out, "Consort Su."

Su Mowan smiled and agreed.

Jiang Zhuo stepped aside, and Shen Murui came into full view of Su Mowan.

According to the general public, Shen Murui is not as good-looking as Shen Muyue, but Su Mowan thinks that Shen Murui's appearance is comfortable and non-threatening.

In particular, several people had said that Shen Murui looked a bit like her, so Su Mowan liked Shen Murui's face even more.

The thought of becoming neighbors with Shen Murui in the future made Su Mowan feel quite strange.

A few days ago, Shen Murui was running to Fenghua Palace every day. She saw this and felt a little uncomfortable, but after Murong Jing forcibly kissed her, that feeling inexplicably disappeared.

It's as if they suddenly gained confidence and were no longer threatened.

So at this moment, Su Mowan looked at Shen Murui with exceptionally gentle eyes: "Madam Shen, from now on we will be living in the same courtyard. I hope we can get along well."

Upon hearing this, Shen Murui knew that Su Mowan already knew about her plan to move in, and immediately felt even more embarrassed.

She lowered her head slightly and stammered, "Please, Consort Su, don't find me unpleasant."

After observing for several days, Shen Murui also discovered that Su Mowan was not as hateful as Shen Muyue had described.

Especially last night when she was swimming in the river, if Su Mowan hadn't pulled her back, the fireworks set off by the Seventh Princess might have ruined her face.

Su Mowan's gentle treatment of her at this moment made Shen Murui feel ashamed. She had previously believed Shen Muyue's words and had secretly made many assumptions about Su Mowan's character.

Su Mowan glanced at Jiang Zhuo, whose face was expressionless, and then smiled at Shen Murui, "Since you're all here, why don't you sit here for a while? We still need to tidy up over there for a while."

Before going to Fenghua Palace, Shen Murui had mentioned wanting to visit Huangfeng Garden, so when Su Mowan invited her, she naturally agreed quickly.

Jiang Zhuo, unsure of how much help he could offer, took his leave and headed to Fenghua Palace after seeing Feng Yue present.

Su Mowan naturally had something to say to Shen Murui, so she gave Feng Yue a wink, and Feng Yue nodded and headed towards Yingyue Pavilion.

Upon entering Huangfeng Garden, Su Mowan personally poured Shen Murui a cup of tea.

With neither Yinshuang nor Qinghe present, Su Mowan spoke without restraint, directly voicing her doubts: "Madam Shen, did you decide to move here yourself, or was it the Prince's idea?"

Shen Murui was flattered and accepted the teacup.

She held it in her hands but didn't dare to drink it. When Su Mowan asked her question, she blinked timidly, looking somewhat pitiful.

"Yes, it was my own idea."

"Why did Madam Shen choose to live in the West Courtyard? As far as I know, Shen Muyue seems to treat you quite well."

Su Mowan admitted that she said it on purpose.

Firstly, I wanted to see how Shen Murui would explain herself, and secondly, I wanted to test whether Shen Murui was truly favored or just pretending to be.

Shen Murui was extremely nervous.

On one side is her elder sister, and on the other is Su Mowan, whom His Highness Prince Qin truly loves. If she offends either side, she will not have an easy time.

But now, she has been forced to stand on Su Mowan's side, and Shen Muyue will inevitably take action against her sooner or later.

Therefore, Shen Murui decided to tell the truth.
