Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 159 A Birthday Gift for You

Su Mowan changed into men's clothing and took a mask. She then led Jiang Zhuo and Yin Shuang Qinghe out the door in a grand procession.

Upon receiving the news, Murong Jing stopped writing.

He paused for a moment before saying to Feng Yue, "Go tell Shen Murui that she can go back now."

Feng Yue cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes."

Murong Jing thought for a moment and then added, "Tell her to come over at noon every day (11 a.m.) and go back at 5 p.m.."

"Yes."

Feng Yue responded, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Sitting in the flower hall, Shen Murui was completely bewildered.

She was initially surprised when she heard Prince Qin say he had something to tell her, but after arriving at Fenghua Palace, Prince Qin only told her to stay in the flower hall and not to wander around, and then he disappeared.

As the daughter of a concubine in the Prime Minister's mansion, she was not favored in the mansion. Her father, who had always been indifferent to her, suddenly became kind to her. Who knew that he would later ask her to enter the Prince of Qin's mansion to help her elder sister.

Although Shen Murui was unwilling, she had no choice.

As a concubine's daughter, she had no right to refuse, so she had no choice but to obediently accept her father's arrangement and enter the Prince of Qin's mansion.

When she first saw Prince Qin, Murong Jing, her eyes were filled with amazement, but she knew he was an unattainable person. Even her elder sister, Shen Muyue, with her stunning beauty, could not win the prince's heart, let alone someone like her.

However, the moment Su Mowan pushed Prince Qin through the door, she could see that although Prince Qin had a cold face, his emotions were clear in his eyes. She also noticed that he deliberately told everyone not to disturb Huangfeng Garden and even asked Su Mowan to pour tea.

These actions all tell everyone that the person in His Highness Prince Qin's heart and eyes is his concubine, Su Mowan.

Unfortunately, her elder sister was someone who refused to accept her fate.

Shen Muyue believed that her stunning beauty would one day win the favor of Prince Qin, and she was instructed to do everything she could to compete for his favor and oust Su Mowan from her position as a concubine.

His Highness the Prince of Qin actually summoned her to the Fenghua Palace.

She thought she could take this opportunity to try to get closer to him, but to her surprise, His Highness the Prince of Qin didn't give her a chance at all.

Shen Murui reflected on her words and actions and felt that there was nothing wrong with them. However, she had been left waiting in the flower hall for quite a while and no one had come. She became uneasy.

Fortunately, she didn't have to suffer for long before Feng Yue appeared.

He brought with him a royal decree from the King of Qin, ordering her to return.

Although Shen Murui was timid, she still mustered up the courage to ask, "My lord, do you know why the Prince summoned me here but I haven't been seen?"

Feng Yue didn't dislike Shen Murui, but because of her elder sister Shen Muyue, it was difficult for him to have any good feelings towards her.

So, in response to Shen Murui's question, he simply said indifferently, "Madam Shen, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Also, His Highness has instructed you to come here at the beginning of noon every day and stay here until the end of the afternoon before returning home."

Shen Murui blinked in surprise at first, then immediately understood.

She forced a smile.

"I understand, thank you."

Shen Murui's reaction surprised Feng Yue.

Feng Yue originally thought that even if she didn't dare to complain, she wouldn't be able to smile. Therefore, he took another look at Shen Murui.

Shen Murui stood up, straightened her clothes, and followed Feng Yue out of Fenghua Palace.

When the maids who were waiting outside saw their young mistress come out, they quickly came forward and gently helped her up.

"Miss."

The maid called out softly.

Shen Murui hummed in agreement, turned around and thanked Feng Yue again before gracefully descending the steps.

At this moment, Feng Yue finally developed a slight liking for Shen Murui. He sighed inwardly: She seems to be a very well-mannered girl, but it's a pity that she has such a senior sister and such a family background, which means that the master will not pay attention to her.

However, Madam Shen's face does bear a slight resemblance to Consort Su...

After sighing, Feng Yue hurriedly returned to his study. He knew his master must have more instructions. Sure enough, he had barely arrived at the study and hadn't even settled in when his master spoke.

"Go and find out when she was born."

Feng Yue was stunned.

He didn't react at first.

"Master, investigate Madam Shen?"

Murong Jing looked up, his cold gaze sending a shiver down Feng Yue's spine.

"I'm having you investigate Su Mowan."

"Yes!"

Feng Yue quickly ran away.

Su Mowan, who had just arrived at the painting pavilion, was so startled by Shangguan Qingqi that she took two steps back.

"Who...who violated you?"

The Shangguan Qingqi in front of me was still dressed in red, but the collar of the red dress was torn into two strips of cloth, which fluttered merrily in the wind, revealing the white undergarment underneath.

Furthermore, several strands of his hair hung loosely over his forehead, and there were several noticeable red marks on his face.

It appears to be rouge.

Shangguan Qingqi looked depressed, but in the blink of an eye, he put on a pitiful expression.

"You know what? I'm so unlucky! These women are so heartless. They know they can't win my heart no matter what, so they try to take my body!"

"..."

Su Mowan's lips twitched.

So he ran into a pack of tigresses? It takes skill to escape unscathed.

However: "In broad daylight, who would dare to molest you?"

Shangguan Qingqi looked utterly dejected.

"It's all because your birthday is in a few days. I risked my life to go to Taihua Tower to buy you a gift, but who knew I would run into these heartless women and almost not make it back!"

"..."

"So being good-looking can be a headache. I'll try making a mask like you sometime."

"..."

Su Mowan was speechless.

With Shangguan Qingqi's fox-like aura, even wearing a straw hat wouldn't help.

"No need for a mask, I have a better suggestion."

Shangguan Qingqi tugged at the two strips of cloth around his neck with disdain.

He then asked with a smile, "What suggestion? Tell me about it."

Su Mowan walked to the tea table and sat down. After Shangguan Qingqi also came to sit down, she lazily said to him, "You can learn from me. I am a woman and I wear men's clothes. You are a man and you can wear women's clothes. I guarantee that no woman will pounce on you. However, you should start to be careful of men."

"..."

Shangguan Qingqi picked up the tea in front of him and took a big gulp.

He was determined to cling to her: "Anyway, I don't care. I was only assaulted because I was preparing a birthday gift for you. You have to comfort me."

Su Mowan glanced at him sideways.

"Are you even a man? You just got touched by a woman a few times, and you act like you've been defiled. Besides, aren't you usually so arrogant? Weren't you the one flying around on the river that day? Why did you obediently wait to be molested by a woman at the crucial moment? I think you were enjoying it, so why are you complaining!"

Shangguan Qingqi's expression was somewhat strange.

In Su Mowan's view, that meant she had hit the nail on the head and there was no denying it.

After a long while, Shangguan Qingqi took out an exquisite brocade box from his pocket, threw it in front of Su Mowan, and said with his chin raised, "Take it. This is what I risked my chastity to get from you."

Su Mowan picked it up and looked at it, feeling a little puzzled.
