Chapter 284 Being plotted
She had heard a little about the marriage proposal between Xu Jing and Sun Zhonghuai. Seeing her love rival, she raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, isn't this Sister Xu? Sister Xu, you are already old, and such a youthful hairpin is really not suitable for you."
He turned around and looked around, then picked up a very old-fashioned hairpin and handed it to me.
"Sister Xu, at your age, this hairpin is suitable for you."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Shen Junru's lips.
Across from her, Xu Jing was still wearing the same white dress she'd worn for a thousand years. She was out shopping today, planning on adding some festive hair accessories and clothes.
Victory reports continued to arrive from the north. Prince Su had held the Beimang army north of the Wei River, foiling several Beimang attempts to cross the river. She calculated that if the current pace continued, Prince Su would soon be victorious and return to the capital.
By then, she will be able to marry into Prince Su's Mansion with great fanfare.
Lin Wantang was dead, and she no longer had any competition. As long as her aunt could help her plan, she could become the Su Wang's principal wife. How could Shen Junru, an ordinary noblewoman from the capital, catch her eye?
She glanced at Shen Junru coldly.
"who are you?"
"you!"
Shen Junru didn't expect Xu Jing to be so arrogant and could not help but feel angry.
"Xu Jing, you wear white clothes all day long. Do people die in your family every day? Humph, you are so arrogant and your standards are so high, but after all your efforts, you still haven't found a husband? Now you have become an old maid that no one wants!"
"Xu Jing, I'm not afraid to tell you that the Sun family and I are currently discussing marriage. When Zhong Huai becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination, I will be his wife. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't given up on Zhong Huai, how could such a good marriage have happened to me?"
Shen Junru was so overjoyed at the thought of the future glory and respect that she felt for Xu Jing that she even felt sorry for her.
But Xu Jing opposite still had a dead look on her face, with a hint of sarcasm hanging at the corner of her cold mouth.
"Some people just like to pick up discarded items and hold them as if they were treasures. If you like them so much, you'd better keep an eye on them."
The indifferent tone immediately made Shen Junru furious. She grabbed the hairpin in her hand and smashed it to the ground, then left in anger.
As soon as Shen Junru left, Xu Jing threw the hairpin in her hand on the table.
"Wasn't she having a hot affair with that playboy from the Lu family before? How did she get married to the Sun family?"
Shuang Hong said, "Miss, you don't know. The third son of the Lu family recently fell in love with Miaoyin, the lady from the Flower House. Shen Junru was so angry that they broke up."
"How could the Sun family, a family of scholars, be interested in someone like her?"
"I heard that it was Young Master Sun who proposed it himself. Shen Junru is good at pretending." Shuanghong was very indignant.
Did Sun Zhonghuai propose it himself?
This is strange.
but……
"Doesn't she really want to be the wife of the top scholar? Then I will make sure she doesn't become one. Shuanghong, go find that Sanlang of the Lu family and tell him..."
Xu Jing waved her hand and said this in Shuanghong's ear.
After hearing this, Shuanghong's eyes lit up and she nodded with a smile.
After waiting for a few days, Shen Junru did not receive the news of the results, but instead received a love letter from her old lover Lu Jia Sanlang, asking her to meet him at the old place.
"Miss, you'd better not go. Your marriage with the Sun family is about to be finalized, so it's better not to create unnecessary trouble at this time." The maid advised carefully.
"why are you not going?"
Shen Junru was beaming with joy. It was the Third Brother of the Lu Family who had let her down in the past. Now that she had found her ideal husband, she must show off in front of the Third Brother of the Lu Family.
The person he didn't cherish is now about to become the wife of the top scholar.
"I just want to see his regretful expression. It makes me happy just thinking about it."
Shen Junru happily dressed up and went to the courtyard where she and Lu Jia Sanlang often met in the past. As soon as she pushed the door open, she was hugged by Lu Jia Sanlang, and kissed with her lips pouting.
"Baby, you're finally here. I missed you so much."
The third son of the Lu family is very handsome and has been hanging around with girls for years, and he has many tricks up his sleeve to seduce them.
Shen Junru originally came to explain things to him, but she didn't expect to fall into Lu Jia Sanlang's gentle trap as soon as she came in. She struggled desperately at first, but after a few struggles, her legs became weak and her body became hot, and she gradually fell under Lu Jia Sanlang's fierce attack.
By the time she came to her senses, an hour had passed.
She was so upset that she suddenly woke up from her confusion and grabbed the clothes beside the bed and started to put them on.
"You, you, you killed me!"
Shen Junru was extremely angry, but things had come to a point where they could no longer be undone, so she could only try her best to conceal the matter.
Sanlang Lu lay nonchalantly on the bed, supporting his pretty head with one hand, and said with a grin:
"What? You don't like it?"
Shen Junru blushed. How could she not like him? It was because she liked him so much that she hated him for being so philandering!
Lu Jia Sanlang pulled Shen Junru back into his arms.
"Ru, we're already like this, do you still want to marry that guy surnamed Sun?"
Trapped in Lu Sanlang's arms, Shen Junru was furious.
"You bastard, if I don't marry someone named Sun, then why should I marry you? Can you let me become the wife of the top scholar?"
"Humph!"
Lu Sanlang groaned, "Although I can't make you the wife of the top scholar, I can make you happy! Can he do it? I heard that he..." Lu Sanlang leaned over and whispered something in Shen Junru's ear.
"what?"
Shen Junru's eyes widened in shock, and all the details of her past interactions with Sun Zhonghuai came to her mind one by one, and then she suddenly realized,
"I see! No wonder he's so lukewarm towards me."
Lu Sanlang kissed Shen Junru on the lips, "Now that you know everything, you still want to marry him? Don't you want to think about it again?"
"I……"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the room creaked open from the outside and Sun Zhonghuai walked in.
Shen Junru was so frightened that she screamed and crawled behind Lu Sanlang. Lu Sanlang was also shocked and almost fell off the bed.
Sun Zhonghuai glanced coldly at the disheveled couple lying on the bed, turned around expressionlessly and walked out, closing the door behind him.
The room was dead silent.
"What should we do? Saburo, what should we do?"
Shen Junru frantically hugged Lu Sanlang and asked him questions. However, Lu Sanlang got up from the bed and started to put on his clothes and pants.
"You ask me what to do? How would I know!"
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing Lu Sanlang hurriedly putting on his clothes and preparing to go out without looking back, Shen Junru had a bad feeling. She didn't care that her clothes were in disarray and jumped off the bed, opening her arms to block his way.
"Of course we should leave! Are we going to stay here and wait for him to come and investigate?" Lu Sanlang pushed Shen Junru away and was about to walk out.
Shen Junru couldn't believe her ears.
Is this the same Lu Sanlang who was so affectionate with me, making vows to me, and swearing to marry me just a moment ago?
"You just said you wanted to marry me!"
Shen Junru screamed.
"When did I say that?" Lu Sanlang denied it flatly. After a moment's thought, he tried to make amends, "You asked me to meet you here, and I thought you still had feelings for me and wanted to spend the night with me. But for the sake of our one-night stand, I'm asking you to think about it. Sun Zhonghuai can't give you happiness."
"Okay, don't stop me. It's so late and I have to go home. If this gets out, my mother will break my legs!"
There was a rumbling of thunder above her head. Shen Junru felt a blackness in front of her eyes. She stumbled and was pushed away by Lu Sanlang and fell to the ground.
The door behind him creaked open, and Lu Sanlang fled out like a lost dog. Only Shen Junru, crying bitterly, was left in the room.
