Chapter 351 Ning An Ru Meng: You Yue is no longer stupid 55

Shen Zhiyi looked at Zhang Zhe through teary eyes, a strange emotion showing in them, making Zhang Zhe's slender body seem even more imposing.

He was deliberately tortured by Mu Zhen because of her.

That day, Mu Zhen tried to forcibly humiliate her, and Shen Zhiyi fiercely resisted, scratching Mu Zhen's face until it bled. Later, she even tried to kill herself to save Mu Zhen's face.

Mu Zhen wanted to kill her on the spot, but Zhang Zhe rushed in and launched into a vehement accusation, threatening him with the Yan family army, which made Mu Zhen dare not comply.

But he dared not kill her, which did not mean he could not touch Zhang Zhe. So these days he would hang her up and whip Zhang Zhe to vent his anger when he was in a bad mood.

If no one comes to the rescue, Shen Zhiyi has prepared for the worst: to feign compliance with Mu Zhen and then kill him in bed!

We all perished together.

But if she did that, Zhang Zhe wouldn't survive either, and the thought of it made her heart ache!

But You Yue is here!

Her arrival means that Yanling and Yanmu are nearby, and neither of them will die.

Shen Zhiyi smiled and let go of Zhang Zhe's hand. "It's alright. I am a princess, and it is my mission to marry a foreign ruler. Which dynasty's princesses have not been married off for political reasons? If he wants to marry me, let him. But whether he is fortunate enough to enjoy it is another matter!"

She would rather die than submit to Mu Zhen.

So, let's take advantage of the marriage with Mu Zhen to get rid of this great scourge for Yan Ling and the others!

This is probably the only thing she, as the princess of Da Gan, can do for Da Gan!

To Shen Zhiyi's surprise, Chu Yuan had already prepared a response.

Even when faced with the seemingly eccentric Mu Zhen, she remained calm and composed. "Our country is a great nation, a land of etiquette, and we have always been particular about weddings. Prince Mu Zhen may wish to simplify the wedding, but some necessary steps cannot be omitted, such as calculating an auspicious date, decorating the bridal chamber, and having the matrons teach the bride's boudoir etiquette. Putting aside other matters, you have damaged the princess's wedding dress, so we must buy a new one, right? It will take at least half a month, and at most a month. Prince Mu Zhen, please wait patiently!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhen's face hardened. "Impossible! I will give you a maximum of seven days. After seven days, she... must consummate her marriage with me!"

Chu Yuan gripped Shen Zhiyi's trembling hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Prince Mu Zhen, don't push your luck!"

In fact, she has already achieved her goal!

When negotiating with others, one should aim high and get a middle ground, or aim for the middle ground and get a lower ground. Chu Yuan knew from the beginning that Mu Zhen would not agree to such a long period of time, but what did it matter? Being able to gain seven days was already good enough.

"...Teaching you bedroom etiquette, how to serve me well, right? Princess, I'm looking forward to it."

Tomorrow, I will have someone send you some of my favorite erotic paintings. Study them carefully, and I'll be waiting for your performance on our wedding night. Remember, don't disappoint me again!

Mu Zhen finalized the date and left, satisfied.

As he was leaving, he casually put his arm around Xue Shu's waist. "Oh, by the way, from now on you will be the principal wife, and Xue Shu will be the secondary wife. As long as you are obedient, I will treat you sisters well. There is no need for you to fight over me."

The moment the tent curtain fell, Shen Zhiyi immediately covered her mouth and began to gag.

Chu Yuan patted her back, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyi shook her head. "It's nothing, I just feel disgusted. Look at what he said, does he sound like a prince of a country? Any ordinary child from our country is probably a hundred times better than him!"

What kind of erotic pictures are these? He actually let his not-yet-married wife see this kind of thing!

He even said I'd be jealous of Xue Shu over him—what a shameless jerk!

"Don't be angry. You can't really marry him anyway. Just bear with it for a few more days, and his time will come."

Shen Zhiyi held Chu Yuan's hand tightly, her face full of anticipation, "Yan Ling and the others... can they really do it?"

“If you don’t believe Yan Ling, you should at least believe Yan Mu and Xie Wei, right? Let Mu Zhen be smug for a few days. In the next few days, we’ll take care of Lord Zhang together and heal his injuries.”

It's one thing to realize that Shen Zhiyi has feelings for Zhang Zhe, but the most important thing is to find Shen Zhiyi something else to rely on, otherwise it will be difficult for her to cheer up.

After talking for a while, Chu Yuan asked in confusion, "By the way, what's going on with Xue Shu?"

It would have been better if this matter hadn't been brought up, because it only made Shen Zhiyi angrier. "Don't even mention it! She's spineless. I don't know what she was thinking when she insisted on going to the wedding together. She was actually willing to be with that scumbag. I thought she was just reluctant to give up our sisterly friendship of so many years!"

Chu Yuan was much more accepting of this matter than Shen Zhiyi.

After all, she knew the plot. In her previous life, Xue Shu climbed into Shen Lang's bed for profit. Although Shen Lang was only her cousin, they were still related by blood, weren't they?

And at that time, Shen Lang was almost dead.

This proves that Xue Shu doesn't care about any of these things. She'll stop at nothing to get what she wants!

The fact that Xue Yuan is now involved with Mu Zhen is undoubtedly because of a secret deal between them.

Shen Zhiyi was greatly surprised. "What? You're saying that the Duke of Dingguo is secretly colluding with Mu Zhen? No way! He's right under my brother's nose, and he's still having such thoughts. What are they planning? A rebellion?"

Chu Yuan sneered, "Otherwise, why do you think Xue Yuan is pressing the Yan family so relentlessly?"

It's all because Marquis Yan and Yan Ling hold military power and are loyal to the court, blocking Xue Yuan's path to wealth and power!

Furthermore, his connections extended far beyond just Mu Zhen; he also maintained frequent contact with the Prince of Pingnan.

When Shen Zhiyi heard this for the first time, she was completely stunned. After a long while, she asked blankly, "Then... does my royal brother know? Can he tolerate it?"

Chu Yuan smiled faintly, "Your elder brother knows, of course he can't tolerate it, but Xue Yuan has the Empress Dowager protecting him, so there's nothing he can do. That's why we came out here this time..."

Just as she finished speaking, Chu Yuan noticed someone walking around outside the tent, so she stopped talking and handed Shen Zhiyi a jar of white ointment.

"Take it."

"do what?"

Chu Yuan smiled ambiguously, "Lord Zhang's injury, didn't you say it was because of you? You can't expect a married woman like me to apply medicine to him!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi blushed. "Me? Am I capable?"

"It's just applying some medicine, what's the problem? Hurry up and go!" With that, he pushed Shen Zhiyi out of the tent.

Sure enough, Mu Zhen's strategist was at the door. It was hard to tell whether he had been eavesdropping on us, but it was best to be cautious about the plan.

...

Shen Zhiyi hesitated as she approached Zhang Zhe's tent.

I don't know whether I should go in or not.

The main problem is that she has never taken the initiative to do such a thing. From childhood to adulthood, because of her status, others have always tried their best to please her and treat her well.

This is the first time I've felt this nervous.

"Princess? Are you looking for Lord Zhang? Why aren't you going in?" Just then, the commander of the Imperial Guards in the wedding procession, who happened to have something to discuss with Zhang Zhe, asked.

Shen Zhiyi clutched the ointment in her hand, feeling an urge to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhe lifted the curtain and came out. "Does the princess have something to discuss with me?"
