Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Chapter 631 I'm going to see Mrs. Shen

At this moment, Shen Yuming secretly clenched his fists in his heart. He was finally able to get rid of the shadow of the Seventh Prince, win recognition with his own strength, and embark on a bright future.

Shen Yuming accepted the reward in front of the emperor and knelt down respectfully to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After leaving the imperial study, with every step Shen Yuming took, the burden in his heart seemed to be lightened a little.

Suddenly, a palace maid came to pay her respects and conveyed the eighth princess' invitation, inviting him to see the rabbits she raised.

Shen Yuming hesitated for a moment and felt that it was not appropriate for a man to meet the princess privately, but he could not bear to reject the princess's kindness, so he finally nodded and agreed.

Following the palace maid, they came to a courtyard outside the Siqin Palace, which was surrounded by a fence. Inside was a small hut woven with rattan. The ground was covered with soft grass, and a snow-white rabbit was leisurely eating grass on it.

In the distance, a woman in a moon-white dress was standing there feeding rabbits.

When Shen Yuming called her "Your Highness the Princess", Baili Fengqin turned around. She looked particularly charming today after dressing up specially.

Facing Shen Yuming, she was a little nervous and unconsciously stroked the hairpin on her head.

Shen Yuming did not show much surprise at her beauty. In his heart, the identity of the Eighth Princess was more important than any appearance.

"Your Highness, why didn't you reveal your identity then? Then I would have..."

Baili Fengqin hurriedly explained: "I didn't hide it on purpose, I was just worried that the princess's identity would bring unnecessary trouble. Will you be angry about this?"

Her voice was filled with worry and anticipation.

Shen Yuming shook his head and said gently: "How dare I be angry with the princess? If I had known earlier, there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings."

Hearing this, Baili Fengqin breathed a sigh of relief: "You have been very kind to me and saved my life. I will always remember this kindness."

She pointed to the rabbit and said, "This is the rabbit you gave me. I have made sure it lives a good life."

Shen Yuming looked in the direction she pointed and smiled with satisfaction: "The princess takes really good care of me."

Finally, Baili Fengqin shyly suggested: "If you have time, you can come and see the rabbits often."

The implication was that she hoped Shen Yuming could come to the palace to meet her often. Shen Yuming did not respond directly, but just quietly enjoyed this moment of warmth.

Shen Yuming walked over slowly, picked up a cabbage, and gently handed it to the white rabbit.

Baili Fengqin's eyes involuntarily fell on his white and slender hands, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

After feeding the rabbit, Shen Yuming stood up and said gently, "Princess, it's getting late. I should go back."

"Well, you go."

Although she was reluctant, Baili Fengqin could only helplessly watch him leave. Even until his back gradually disappeared from her sight, she still couldn't take her eyes off him for a long time.

Back in the room, Baili Fengqin's heart was still beating wildly.

She called her personal maid and asked, "Do you know Lord Shen Yuming?"

The maid thought for a moment and shook her head gently: "I don't know. If the princess needs it, I will go and ask."

"Go quickly and tell me everything about Lord Shen. Remember, don't let mother know about this. If it leaks out, I will punish you severely!"

Baili Fengqin warned, her tone was cold but gentle.

"Yes." The palace maid responded and retreated, feeling a little chill in her heart.

Sitting alone in front of the bronze mirror, Baili Fengqin rested her chin on her hands, recalling every moment of her encounter with Shen Yuming today.

It would be nice if I could see him every day...

She began to fantasize about how wonderful life would be if she could marry Shen Yuming.

However, she didn't know that Shen Yuming was already married.

Two hours later, the maid returned and reported excitedly: "Princess, I got the news!"

Baili Fengqin's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Hurry up and tell me everything!"

The palace maid described in detail how Shen Yuming was young and promising, and how he was highly appreciated by the Seventh Prince.

Hearing this, Baili Fengqin was overjoyed, but when the palace maid finished speaking, she discovered that the most crucial information was missing.

"Is that all?" She looked up in confusion.

The maid became nervous and asked cautiously, "This is all I have learned. Do you want to ask more?"

Baili Fengqin clutched her handkerchief tightly and asked shyly, "Does Lord Shen have a wife or an engagement?"

The maid was stunned. Seeing the princess' shy look, she immediately understood her intention.

However, she was at a loss as to how to tell the news that Shen Yuming was married.

"Princess..." The maid hesitated and found it difficult to speak.

The maid lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the Eighth Princess' eyes, and said softly, "Princess, Lord Shen has already started a family."

"what?"

Baili Fengqin's face turned pale instantly, her eyes widened, and she was filled with shock: "Are you telling the truth? Shen Yuming is actually married?"

"Yes." The maid replied in a low voice.

Upon hearing the news, Baili Fengqin felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe. Her whole body was cold and she was trembling slightly.

Shen Yuming got married, he actually got married!

How is this possible? How can he get married?

Baili Fengqin was immersed in the huge shock and couldn't extricate herself. Her heart, which was originally full of hope, suddenly cooled down and the pain was unbearable.

She was just looking forward to her future life with Shen Yuming.

She didn't expect that all this was just her fantasy.

She stood there for a long time before slowly raising her head, clenching her fists, and speaking in a trembling voice: "Who is the bride?"

The maid thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be the young lady of the Ye family."

"Ye family?"

Baili Fengqin frowned and thought, but couldn't remember which Ye family this was.

"Which Ye family?"

"That's a small family. It's normal that the princess doesn't know about it. Besides, I heard that the Ye family suffered a misfortune last year."

The maid sighed.

"Something happened to the Ye family?"

"Yes." The maid nodded in confirmation.

A strange light flashed in Baili Fengqin's eyes, her expression was complicated, and it was unknown what she was thinking, her hands were clenched tightly into fists.

The maid continued, "Mr. Shen has a very unfortunate fate. After marrying the daughter of the Ye family, not long ago, when Concubine Qing was still alive, she summoned Madam Shen to the palace. As a result, she was a healthy person, but for some reason, she went crazy not long after."

Baili Fengqin listened to the palace maid's words and felt full of sympathy for Shen Yuming. She felt that a man like him deserved a better home instead of being burdened by a burden.

How nice it would be if I could marry him.

If Shen Yuming hadn't gotten married yet...

If Madam Shen is gone...

A thought suddenly flashed through Baili Fengqin's mind, and a hint of coldness flashed in Baili Fengqin's eyes.

It would be great if Mrs. Shen disappeared. That kind of person is not worthy of Shen Yuming at all and will only be a burden to him.

The handkerchief in Baili Fengqin's hand was crushed into pieces by her.

The maid was startled and shrank her neck.

Baili Fengqin stood up suddenly and said resolutely: "I want to go see Madam Shen."

"Princess."

When the maid heard this, she was shocked and looked at her anxiously: "But... the princess can't leave the palace casually."
