Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder Survival Manual: Saving the Villain

Chapter 27: The Noble Prime Minister x The Poor Little Princess 3

Shen Yingjin watched helplessly as Chu Yufeng left without guarding her and left without hesitation, holding the cloak. A trace of hurt flashed in her eyes, but then she calmed down.

After all, he could tell that the villains in each world were different people with different experiences and personalities. Even if they were all the same old man in black robe at the soul level... they were still different after all.

He closed his eyes and waited for a while. Wei Ge boiled the medicine and brought it to him with a bowl.

Originally, Shen Yingjin had a cold and aloof personality, so he naturally followed suit, but he would only make an aggrieved expression in front of Chu Yufeng and be cold in front of Wei Ge.

He nodded to Wei Ge, took the medicine and drank it, then handed the empty bowl back with an expressionless face.

Shen Yingjin felt bitter in her mouth after drinking the medicine. This ancient medicine is really bitter...

He turned over, lay on his side and fell asleep.

……

Three days later, Shen Yingjin left Chu Yufeng's bedroom without staying long.

During these three days, Chu Yufeng never visited him again. Only at night when Shen Yingjin fell asleep, would he come over quietly to rub medicine for him.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has left." Wei Ge half-knelt on the ground and reported to Chu Yufeng in the side hall.

Chu Yufeng, who was lying on the beauty couch, closed the military book in his hand, sat up straight, and asked, "Where did he go?"

In order to suppress Shen Yingjin, the emperor granted him the marriage and awarded him seven days of rest. Only three days had passed. He left at this time, and it was impossible for him to go to court.

Wei Ge replied respectfully: "The Prime Minister went to see the Minister of Justice today."

Chu Yufeng was puzzled: "Mou Xin?"

As far as he knew, the Minister of Justice and the Prime Minister had a big quarrel over Zhang Xingyuan a few days ago, and they should have cut off all contact.

Wei Ge nodded in agreement, and Chu Yufeng could only wave his hand and let him go first.

After Wei Ge left, Chu Yufeng sat on the couch, lost in thought.

……

"Brother Mou, I'm sorry about Zhang Xingyuan's matter... I was too arbitrary, and I only saw the truth in the past few days." Shen Yingjin lowered her eyes, with a guilty look on her face.

He personally poured a cup of tea, stood up and bowed slightly, handed it to Mou Xin, and said, "Please forgive me, Brother Mou."

Across the stone table, Mou Xin's expression was also complicated. He and Shen Yingjin had known each other for many years, and he rarely saw him give in on his own initiative.

So, even if Mou Xin was still angry before he was invited here, his anger had subsided now that he saw him like this.

Mou Xin exhaled, raised his hand to take the teacup, drank all the tea in it in one breath, then waved his sleeves and smiled: "We have been friends for many years, so let's not talk about this matter again."

Shen Yingjin smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After talking about this matter, they returned to the relaxed state they had when they were young and knew each other. Mou Xin wiped the edge of the stone table with his sleeve without caring about his image, then leaned over and asked leisurely:

"Hey, how's the matter between you and the third princess going?"

Shen Yingjin's expression faded, and she really didn't look happy.

Seeing him like this, Mou Xin thought that he still disliked the Third Princess, and couldn't help but persuade him: "You can't listen to Zhang Xingyuan's words. I think the Third Princess is a good man."

Shen Yingjin shook her head, helpless: "It's not what Brother Mou thinks. He and I... are already together, but he, he doesn't seem to like me."

Mou Xin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but slam the table and asked bluntly, "Have you consummated your marriage?"

Mou Xin had always thought that Shen Yingjin would be dissatisfied with the marriage granted by the emperor and might always treat the third princess coldly. But looking at Shen Yingjin's behavior, it seemed that the third princess treated him coldly.

"......Yeah." There was a hint of sadness in the corners of Shen Yingjin's eyes and eyebrows.

Mou Xin raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Well, as a couple, it takes a while for them to get used to each other. You don't have to worry too much."

Mou Xin thought of something and continued:

“But there is one thing you must know. The emperor dotes on the third princess on the surface and even built a princess palace for her.

But in fact, I heard that the third princess grew up in the cold palace and lived a very miserable life. Please bear with her. "

Shen Yingjin nodded.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about Zhang Xingyuan, and the topic was extended to the current court situation.

……

After Shen Yingjin separated from Mou Xin, she went straight back to the prime minister's residence.

In order to maintain the imperial power, the Dayong Dynasty had an unwritten rule that when marrying a princess, one had to live in the princess's residence for the first three days. Only after these days could one return to the original residence.

As soon as Shen Yingjin entered the main gate, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion came over and said respectfully: "Sir, everything in the mansion is fine. Aunt Qiu also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning."

Shen Yingjin frowned. When he went to the princess's mansion before, Qiu Ming went with him. Now, Qiu Ming came back before he did. It was really unruly.

"Okay, I got it. You can go down." Shen Yingjin said lightly.

The housekeeper bowed and left, and Shen Yingjin walked into the house.

Before he could even walk into the main hall, Qiu Ming ran out crying and threw himself on him, with several large, bright red slap marks on his face.

Shen Yingjin frowned and dodged sideways. Qiu Ming stumbled a bit, stood firm, and cried to him and complained: "My husband, the princess bullied me..."

Shen Yingjin got goose bumps all over her body when he called her "husband". He shook his shoulders and interrupted him: "Who allowed you to call me like that?"

Qiu Ming was startled and could only pretend to be wronged and responded: "I was wrong, sir..."

Shen Yingjin rubbed his brows and asked, "You said that Madam bullied you. When did it happen?"

Qiu Ming stood up again and said angrily: "Her Highness the Princess insisted that I did something on your wedding night. She didn't listen to my explanation at all and sent someone to slap me..."

He cried softly as he spoke.

Shen Yingjin: ...

He really couldn't accept it. How could a man cry like this? It was too eye-catching. I don't know how Zhang Xingyuan could bring himself to do it.

Shen Yingjin's mouth twitched, and she was too lazy to deal with him: "Do you dare to say that you didn't do anything that night?"

When Qiu Ming saw Shen Yingjin staring at him coldly, he dared not say a word for a moment and could only lower his head and cry in silence.

"Alright, alright. If Brother Zhang hadn't insisted on me keeping you, I would never have kept you here." Shen Yingjin turned around and walked into the main hall, ignoring the pretentious Qiu Ming.

Qiu Ming stood there with his clothes twisted, looking at Shen Yingjin's departing back, his face gloomy.

……

On the other side, Chu Yufeng almost crushed the armrest of the couch after hearing Wei Ge's report: "You said he went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
