The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Chapter 119 I Will Consider It

Aunt Zheng kept her word and found an excuse to go to Shen Jiyuan's room that night.

She was dressed up carefully, her makeup made her look pitiful, and her eyes were full of resentment.

Shen Jiyuan was sitting at the table reading a book. When he saw Aunt Zheng come in, he frowned slightly.

"What are you here for?"

Aunt Zheng walked slowly to Shen Jiyuan's side, squatted down gently, and held his hand.

"My Lord, I know I was wrong. I have been in the temple for many days and have reflected on myself many times. I shouldn't be jealous. My Lord, you are my support. How can I be so ignorant of my own abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiyuan looked at her in surprise, and the cold expression on his face faded a lot.

"You have indeed reflected on yourself a lot."

Naturally, he still had feelings for Zheng. Seeing her so submissive, he forgave her in his heart, but he still had to keep a dignified appearance.

Aunt Zheng was secretly delighted to see Shen Jiyuan's expression eased, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My Lord, I have been in the Buddhist temple these days, and I miss you every day. Thinking of my past ignorance, I regret it so much. I wish to stay by your side for the rest of my life, and share your worries and troubles."

Shen Jiyuan looked at the charming Aunt Zheng in front of him, and finally couldn't bear it, so he reached out and gently helped her up.

"Get up. Now that you know your mistake, don't make it again."

Aunt Zheng stood up and leaned against Shen Jiyuan.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I will follow your instructions. I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never be jealous again."

Shen Jiyuan nodded slightly, put down the book in his hand, and put his arm around Aunt Zheng's shoulders.

"It's good that you admit your mistakes. I don't want to treat you this way. Now that you are back, you must behave yourself in the future. Wan'er is about to get married, and as her biological mother, you need to keep a low profile for the time being."

When Aunt Zheng heard Shen Jiyuan mention her daughter's marriage, her heart warmed and she quickly responded, "Don't worry, my Lord. I know the importance of this matter. Wan'er's marriage is a big deal. I will act cautiously and not cause trouble for Wan'er."

Shen Jiyuan nodded slightly, with a look of relief in his eyes. "Wan'er has been spoiled since she was young. I am reluctant to let her get married this time. You need to teach her more about being a wife and daughter-in-law, and don't let her suffer any grievances in her husband's family."

Aunt Zheng's eyes were slightly red. "Don't worry, my Lord. I will teach Wan'er everything I have learned in my life. I will also pray to God to bless Wan'er with a smooth life and a harmonious relationship with her husband."

The two were silent for a moment, and Aunt Zheng whispered again, "My Lord, has everything been fine in the mansion during my absence?"

Shen Jiyuan sighed softly, "Everything is normal in the mansion, but without you by my side, it always feels a little lonely."

Aunt Zheng was happy in her heart, but her face remained gentle. Her eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in them.

"My Lord, our Wan'er is going to marry the Crown Prince as a concubine. This is a great joyous event. But when I think of Wan'er's dowry, I am really worried. When Wan'er and I entered the mansion, we had little family wealth, and now we really can't come up with a decent dowry. My Lord, you can't treat Wan'er badly."

"I will consider this matter. You don't need to worry."

Shen Jiyuan's face immediately turned cold. It turned out that she came to him for this matter. He thought that there was someone who understood his feelings by his side, but who would have thought that she was here to plot against him.

Aunt Zheng panicked when she saw Shen Jiyuan's face turn cold. She knelt down quickly, her voice trembling slightly.

"My Lord, please calm down. I really feel sorry for Wan'er and I'm afraid she has been wronged in her husband's family. I know I shouldn't mention this matter at this time, but I'm really worried about Wan'er's future. When I think about Wan'er marrying into the Prince's Mansion, what a noble place it is. If she doesn't have a decent dowry, I'm really afraid that Wan'er will be looked down upon.

My Lord, when Wan'er and I entered the mansion, we didn't have much money, so we were really powerless. That's why I dared to mention this matter to you. I also know that this is inappropriate, but I really love my daughter, so I hope you will understand. "

Shen Jiyuan looked at Aunt Zheng kneeling on the ground. Although his anger subsided a little, his face was still gloomy.

He snorted heavily and said, "Do you know what I think of your behavior? I thought you were truly repentant, but I didn't expect that you still came here with a purpose."

Aunt Zheng kowtowed quickly, tears falling down her face.

"My Lord, I know I was wrong. I was only thinking about Wan'er's future. During the days I was in the temple, I reflected on my mistakes every day. My sincerity towards you has never changed. I was really confused when I mentioned the dowry this time. My Lord, please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, I will be blamed for it."

Shen Jiyuan remained silent, but the anger in his heart had not yet completely subsided.

Seeing this, Aunt Zheng continued, "My Lord, I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and will never make you angry again. I will serve you wholeheartedly and teach Wan'er well, so that she will behave herself in the Prince's Mansion and not cause any trouble for you."

After a long time, Shen Jiyuan's expression eased a little. He sighed and said, "Get up. I will consider it if I say so. But you must remember that there must not be a next time."

Aunt Zheng stood up tremblingly, lowering her head and not daring to look at Shen Jiyuan.

"I will remember your teachings, sir, and will never make the same mistake again."

After a moment of silence, Shen Jiyuan said, "I will arrange Wan'er's dowry. You just need to teach Wan'er how to behave in society. After Wan'er marries, she must be careful in what she says and does, and not be competitive."

Aunt Zheng quickly responded, "Don't worry, my Lord. I will definitely teach Wan'er well. Wan'er has been smart since she was young, and she will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

However, Shen Jiyuan had many worries in his heart. It was still unknown whether Wan'er could live a stable life after getting married.

But now that the matter is done, he can only try his best to prepare a dowry for Wan'er, hoping that she can live a smoother life in her husband's family.

Zheng knew that since the Marquis had already agreed, she would naturally not ignore it. After all, he still had to maintain the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.

Wan'er is going to marry the prince, so he dare not be perfunctory.

Zheng felt relieved and her face was full of gratitude.

"My Lord, your kindness is great. Wan'er and I will never forget it. I will definitely urge Wan'er to always remember your kindness and care."

Shen Jiyuan nodded slightly, but his expression remained solemn.

"Wan'er is going to the Prince's Mansion. The road ahead is unknown. You should teach her how to deal with it carefully. The relationships in the Prince's Mansion are complicated. If she is not careful, she may fall into an irretrievable situation."

Zheng replied solemnly: "Don't worry, my Lord. I will teach you everything I know. Wan'er is smart and will definitely understand my teachings."

After leaving the study, Zheng immediately told Shen Qingwan the good news.

"Did father really say that?"

After hearing the news, Shen Qingwan was so happy that she was almost speechless.
