How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 647: Isn’t It Embarrassing Enough for Me Already?

Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Isn’t It Embarrassing Enough for Me Already?

After dinner, everyone sat in their seats, watching the performers on the stage.

At this moment, Shu’er’s hand was lightly touched, and a maid from Shen Wanqing’s side spoke respectfully.

"Princess Consort, Madam requests you to visit her courtyard."

Shu’er smiled and nodded. Since it was her mother calling her, she had no reason not to go.

Just now, Shen Wanqing indeed excused herself early, citing being unable to handle the wine.

The path along the way led to Shen Wanqing’s Qingfeng Garden.

However, as she was about to arrive, someone stood ahead.

Shu’er looked up and saw that it was Yan Hengyin.

Shu’er raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Hengyin replied, "I came to speak a few words with you."

Liu Mimi’s face turned unsightly. She glanced at the maid in front with a lowered head, then hurriedly turned back the way she came.

Ahead, a group of experts appeared, stepping towards Shu’er.

Shu’er squinted slightly, turning her head to Yan Hengyin.

"What do you mean by this?"

Yan Hengyin shrugged, "I just came to speak a few words with you."

He approached Shu’er, "Shu’er, this is your last chance."

Shu’er looked at Yan Hengyin with an indifferent expression, "Thank you, but I don’t want such an opportunity."

As she moved forward, the group of people refused to give way, and Shu’er could feel Yan Hengyin’s gaze from behind.

She immediately employed Qinggong, leaping lightly to leave from above their heads.

Someone reached out to touch her, but was shot by a small arrow in Shu’er’s sleeve.

Soon they felt their body going numb.

Taking the opportunity, Shu’er escaped. Others tried to pursue, but she spotted Tang Zan coming towards her.

Tang Zan pulled Shu’er behind him, his gaze towards the group of men turned cold and aloof.

"Did you ask my permission before making a move on my Princess Consort?"

The group showed some fear in their eyes, but without Yan Hengyin commanding them to retreat, they had no choice but to advance with gritted teeth.

Eventually, when Tang Zan had killed them one by one, leaving only Yan Hengyin, Yan Hengyin’s face was covered with frost.

His imperial power had been greatly challenged.

"Tang Zan, you’re something else."

Tang Zan advanced instead of retreating, walking up to Yan Hengyin, pressing a dagger to Yan Hengyin’s neck, "How can I compare to the Emperor."

Yan Hengyin’s face was unsightly with bruises, yet Tang Zan’s demeanor was too fierce, and he knew he was no match.

Then he heard Tang Zan say, "I advise the Emperor not to do anything unnecessary. Remember, I let you keep the throne not because I’m afraid of you, but because I find it troublesome."

"If you think being this Emperor is too boring and deliberately stir up trouble, I honestly don’t mind replacing you, as it’s all just a puppet anyway."

A wave of sorrow washed over Yan Hengyin’s eyes.

When he poisoned Yan Haoxuan back then, he merely thought of ascending to that highest throne as soon as possible.

He thought that if he could become Emperor, then nothing could bind him anymore.

He could also obtain the person he loved most.

But now, he realized he never possessed that person, and being Emperor wasn’t as fulfilling as being a Prince was back then.

Yan Hengyin took a deep breath and fell silent.

Tang Zan released Yan Hengyin but still picked up the dagger, piercing Yan Hengyin’s shoulder.

"Remember, if you dare covet things that aren’t yours again, the outcome won’t be the same as now."

The two first went to Qingfeng Garden, seeing Shen Wanqing sitting good-naturedly reading a book, they relaxed.

However, midway through, an old woman sent someone to call them, saying they were summoned to watch the opera.

In the end, Shu’er and Tang Zan took Shen Wanqing to watch the opera again.

At this moment, Baili Kong arrived late, handing the gift in his hand to Old Madam Pei.

"Congratulations to Old Madam Pei for blessings as vast as the sea and longevity comparable to the southern mountains."

The old madam was momentarily stunned seeing Baili Kong.

She could still see the youthful features of the envoy from the Great Shang Country in Baili Kong’s face.

Her expression was a bit uneasy, "Why did you come here?"

Baili Kong took out an invitation, "Since the old madam invited me, I had to come."

Old Madam Pei was taken aback. How could she have possibly invited Baili Kong? This was the man who made her son a fool for half his life. Did she invite him to shame her son?

Pei Yu’s face also turned grim, who invited Baili Kong?

It was at this moment that Xiang Hui sighed and leaned close to the old madam’s ear, speaking softly.

"Old madam, I found it strange before, why did elder sister suddenly decide to return to Qingfeng Garden? It turns out that while writing invitations, she also invited Baili Kong. Isn’t this for convenience to meet?"

Her words were undeniably venomous.

In the past, Old Madam Pei might have contained herself, knowing she was Pei Yu’s mother.

But now, dealing with anger from Shen Wanqing and Shu’er, she even thought Shen Wanqing might have indeed done this.

No wonder she insisted on moving out back then.

It turns out it was for this.

Now, she even invited her old lover to the Pei Mansion.

Isn’t this a slap to the Pei Mansion’s face?

The more she thought, the colder Old Madam Pei’s face became.

Shu’er’s face also didn’t look good. Baili Kong’s arrival was too coincidental.

If he had come with everyone else, his presence would at most provoke one or two gossip remarks.

But entering just after everyone had finished eating and gift-giving, he stood out significantly.

Coupled with past scandals...

The rumors became more frequent, and Shu’er coldly watched, even noting some appeared as if someone had incited them.

Guiding the conversation’s direction.

"Hasn’t it already been said? Shu’er isn’t even Pei Yu’s child, seems to be Baili Kong’s."

"I’ve found it suspicious since then, how could Shen Wanqing give birth only seven months after marrying Pei Yu; so the child isn’t Pei Yu’s?"

"That green hat he’s wearing is quite extensive, and wasn’t he extraordinarily tolerant towards Shen Wanqing?"

"No matter how tolerant, he still doesn’t dare to trust Shen Wanqing with managing the household, perhaps fearing she’d run off."

"To favor the concubine and suppress the wife is rightly justified. Compared to Shen Wanqing, Xiang Hui is indeed better."

In truth, if not mentioning Xiang Hui, Shu’er might not have realized who was orchestrating the situation.

But once Xiang Hui was mentioned and praised for concubine favoring over the wife,

She knew, this was Xiang Hui’s doing.

No wonder, no wonder it was done this way.

Shu’er then looked at Shen Wanqing beside her, seeing her face pale.

Turning to Pei Yu, his expression wasn’t good either.

Shu’er saw Pei Yu reaching to take Shen Wanqing’s hand, only for Shen Wanqing to shake it off.

Pei Yu’s face turned angry, lowering his voice to warn.

"Shen Wanqing, are you trying to embarrass me even more?"
