How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 633: Why Get Involved in This Situation

Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Why Get Involved in This Situation

"Yes, previously there were no rumors, but this morning at court, the envoy from Great Shang appeared."

"In this situation, why is Great Shang getting involved, aren’t they afraid..."

"Afraid of what? Even if two countries go to war, they don’t kill the envoy. If someone kills the envoy, then Dayan will have a feud. Aren’t people fighting for the highest position now? How could they do something that cuts off their own path."

Pei Shu’er thought that the people of this era were actually very smart and made sense when talking about the situation.

Any bit of support from any side now has a crucial impact on the overall situation.

So, the envoy is absolutely safe, may get swept into the vortex, but will ultimately leave safely.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er asked that storyteller.

"Sir, do you know who from Great Shang has come?"

If it’s someone from Zhen Xu’s side, maybe they could be won over.

Pei Shu’er glanced at Zhen Xu in the shadows, and saw Zhen Xu glance at her indifferently, as if seeing through her.

The storyteller didn’t know this; he was actually just repeating what he heard, and in front of noble people, how could he dare to speak recklessly.

"I don’t know."

Just at this moment, they saw a group of people passing by on the street, dressed in Great Shang’s style.

Shen Wanqing was sitting by the bedside at that time, and upon hearing the commotion, she couldn’t help but look up, then saw Baili Kong passing by on the street.

Twenty years ago, he was handsome yet frail, and now, after twenty years, the boy from back then had grown into a tall and charmingly mature man.

Baili Kong suddenly halted his steps, then looked upstairs as well.

At a glance, he saw Shen Wanqing by the window.

Baili Kong’s pupils contracted slightly; he had imagined many scenarios of meeting again with her, but no matter how much he imagined, Shen Wanqing in his eyes was already aged.

But at this moment, Shen Wanqing looked like she was in her twenties, with a naive and calm gaze, very much like a girl.

She was still so young, and even more beautiful and attractive than before.

Shen Wanqing hesitated to speak, but in the end, she sat back down.

Baili Kong could no longer see her.

Just at that moment, those beside him urged.

"Let’s go, Prince."

Shen Wanqing’s heart pounded; she never expected to see Baili Kong again.

Pei Shu’er had never seen Baili Kong and couldn’t help but look at her mother.

"Mother, what’s wrong?"

Shen Wanqing replied, "It’s Baili Kong."

Liu Xu raised her eyebrows, then smiled gently.

"Indeed, he’s dignified. In terms of appearance, he’s on par with Pei Yu."

But when it comes to emotions...

Her eyes carried a teasing look, and she said nothing more.

The dishes that followed were clearly Shen Wanqing’s favorites, but she seemed to have no appetite.

She merely nibbled at each dish.

In the end, she just propped her chin, gazing out the window. The street was bustling with traffic, but none of them were Baili Kong.

Pei Shu’er didn’t know what happened back then, so she didn’t say much.

It wasn’t long before Pei Yu came hurriedly to the private room, and upon seeing Shen Wanqing, Pei Shu’er, and Liu Xu together, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, he sat down at the table quite familiarly and started eating.

Yinxing went to ask the waiter to add a few more dishes.

Pei Yu kept his head down, eating without a word.

But they had already finished eating.

Shen Wanqing had no intention of waiting for Pei Yu and stood up immediately, leaving with her maid.

Pei Yu paused with his chopsticks, watching Shen Wanqing’s departing figure.

Shen Wanqing had never quarreled with him, but such silent treatment was most vexing.

Shen Wanqing merely used her attitude to tell him that her heart was no longer with him.

Pei Yu looked at the food in the bowl and suddenly felt unable to swallow.

He came in a hurry as soon as he knew Baili Kong had arrived.

He feared Shen Wanqing might have already met Baili Kong, and feared they might still have old feelings.

Thinking of this, Pei Yu closed his eyes briefly, deciding not to eat anymore, and followed Shen Wanqing out of the teahouse.

Shen Wanqing became very silent after seeing Baili Kong.

Pei Shu’er suggested, "Why not go to Pei’s Cloth Shop and have a set of clothes custom-made, my two mothers, I’ll gift it to you."

Shen Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Then I’ll also have a piece made for Shu’er."

If it were before, Shen Wanqing wouldn’t dare to say this because she had no money.

But now, custom-made clothes costing twenty or thirty taels posed no burden for her to gift.

Once the measurements were taken, the group returned to Prince Zhan Mansion in force.

Upon reaching the mansion’s gate, they saw Tang Peizhong standing like a rock gazing at his wife; his eyes lit up upon seeing Liu Xu.

Pei Shu’er actually thought Tang Peizhong had become too clingy.

Zhao Yu had already been sent back to Jiangnan, and there was no one around Liu Xu, yet Tang Peizhong still maintained a closely-watched stance.

Pei Yu followed Shen Wanqing back to the courtyard.

He saw Shen Wanqing arranging for her maid to pack her luggage.

At that moment, Pei Yu felt a pang in his heart.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Wanqing replied flatly, "Going back to Shen Mansion. I can’t possibly stay in Prince Zhan Mansion forever, can I?"

They had come recently because of the tense situation, and seeing that the situation wasn’t as tense now, it was best to return to their own place.

Pei Yu then held Shen Wanqing’s hand.

"If you’re going back, go to Pei Mansion, not Shen Mansion."

Shen Wanqing didn’t respond to Pei Yu but listened to him continue.

"The situation has changed again, Shen Mansion isn’t as safe as Prince Zhan Mansion or Pei Mansion."

Shen Wanqing put down her luggage without saying more.

Indeed, with Baili Kong’s arrival in the capital, he might cooperate with Yan Hengyin.

By then, people of the War King’s lineage might become a thorn in the New Emperor’s side.

She took a deep breath, saying nothing more.

Pei Yu finally asked the question he had been holding in all day.

"Did you see him today?"

Shen Wanqing gave a faint "Hm." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Pei Yu asked again, "And how did you feel after seeing him?"

Shen Wanqing finally fixed her gaze on Pei Yu, her mouth curving into a mocking smile.

"Feelings? Pei Yu, what feelings could I possibly have now? We’ve been married for over twenty years, and have four children. He’s now a prince. What feelings could I have?"

Rarely did Pei Yu see such a strong reaction from Shen Wanqing, but seeing it now, he felt no joy, only deeper sadness.

Because of Baili Kong, Shen Wanqing’s mind was still unsettled.

Seeing Pei Yu looking intently at her, Shen Wanqing’s mouth turned up in a self-mocking smile.

"See, what’s the point of telling you this? You’ve always been self-absorbed, how could you ever care about my feelings?"

With that, she picked up a script and continued reading, anyway, she just didn’t want to see Pei Yu’s face.

After a long while, Pei Yu grasped Shen Wanqing’s shoulders, his palms warm.

"Wanqing, we are the spouses, Baili Kong to you is just a mere passerby."
