Shi Shao hurriedly exited the palace, making a beeline for Shen Jingyu's location. Upon seeing him, Shi Shao grabbed Shen Jingyu's wrist and exclaimed, "Come on, let's go!"
Shen Jingyu was in the middle of a video call with Su Xing, discussing jewelry, when he was abruptly pulled away by the man. Su Xing's friend, a jewelry designer, stood in her small shop, bewildered as she watched them leave. She couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Sister Xing's husband wouldn't be...?"
She quickly covered her mouth, and moments later, Su Xing sent a message: "Sorry, my husband's friend needs him urgently. Let's hold off on the jewelry we just picked until he comes back!"
With that official explanation, Su Xing's friend felt relieved. Otherwise, judging by the nobleman's demeanor earlier, it had seemed like he was about to snatch Shen Jingyu away!
Meanwhile, Shi Shao had barely stepped outside when Shen Jingyu shook off his hand in disdain. "What are you doing?" she asked incredulously. "You're a grown man! How dare you grab my wrist?"
"What’s got into you?" Shen Jingyu seemed to have an inkling of what was happening.
Shi Shao growled back, "I’m dealing with Zhu Man! Damn it, what do you know? Hurry up and tell me everything!"
The two of them hopped into Shi Shao's car while Shen Jingyu’s vehicle was driven away by his bodyguard. Shi Shao took Shen Jingyu to his private estate. Once inside the living room, without saying a word, he dashed to the wine cellar and retrieved a bottle of Romanée-Conti.
"Is this really that surprising? Is it only worth it at this level?" Shen Jingyu remarked with some surprise. Usually, Shi Shao was quite composed! Recently, however, he had been acting like a lion with its fur ruffled—completely out of character!
"What on earth happened? You found this traitor; could it be your father?"
Shi Shao looked at his good friend in astonishment. "Can you read minds or predict the future? Or did you already know about this?"
"Wow! You really are serious?!" Shen Jingyu had definitely guessed right.
Shi Shao snorted coldly. "What you haven't guessed yet is even more shocking! I want to have a familial relationship with the king."
"Isn't that great news? You're destined to be a Consort!" Shen Jingyu quickly realized this was good news but noted that his brother's reaction seemed a bit excessive.
However, watching how Shi Shao interacted with Zhu Man—while there didn’t seem to be any gossip brewing—it was definitely something special!
As Shi Shao poured himself another drink coldly on the side, Shen Jingyu quietly sent a gossip message to his wife. The couple exchanged whispers while Shi Shao sat there shocked, expecting guidance and comfort from his brother but instead finding that his friend was too busy indulging his wife with their shared amusement.
"I can't marry her! Zhu Man is nine and a half years younger than me! She's still a princess! Being arrogant and willful is her destiny!"
I am a nobleman in good standing; in this world filled with countless flowers, which one is not enough for me to pick? How could it possibly be him?!
Shi Shao ultimately concluded that this person cannot be married, and this Consort is not a role he can take on!
"Brother, help me think of a way! I want to annul this marriage!" Shi Shao looked at Shen Jingyu very seriously.
Shen Jingyu returned him a very formal gaze: "You can't back out! You won't outsmart that little girl. Even though she is nine and a half years younger than you, her abilities surpass yours!"
"I heard you took medicine again today! And in front of the entire Royal Family, you let it slip that you're still a virgin!"
"What?! How did you know? Did you have someone spying on me, or did you have eyes in the palace?!" Shi Shao was utterly shocked by his brother's revelation!
"You're about the right age; it's time to find a wife. Looking around, finding a Little Princess would be most suitable!" Shen Jingyu surprisingly joined in the matchmaking efforts!
He actually had his own motives.
"Hmph! You little rascal want to sell me off to get a free divine doctor for yourselves!"
"Why not?" Shen Jingyu openly admitted it!
Shi Shao felt a wave of frustration: "You better be careful! If I end up feeling sorry for my future wife, I won't blame any of you. If she lies bleeding in front of me, I won’t care!"
Shen Jingyu looked at Shi Shao with a half-smile: "Isn't this quite immersive? So what's awkward about it?"
"Ah! A stroke of luck from heaven! Your Majesty, with just one daughter, if you do well as her Son-in-law, your future is limitless! Who knows, I might end up having to curry favor with you for a meal someday!" Shen Jingyu clearly knew more than he let on!
After calming down, Shi Shao realized he needed to seek some information from his brother.
"What else have you found out? Any news about the previous queen?" Shi Shao had to admit he was genuinely interested!
It seemed like a natural mission for him; no matter how many unacceptable feelings he encountered along the way, he would ultimately gravitate toward that goal!
Shen Jingyu slowly began to speak; he had only just received those messages today.
The current queen, Emil, is merely infatuated with power. The king has never touched her, so the fate of her child remains uncertain!
As for the Little Princess you are to marry, she undoubtedly possesses proud assets! For the entire country could potentially belong to her.
This place truly operates on hereditary principles; Shi Shao has infinite possibilities ahead of him. Shen Jingyu was willing to bet on it!
If Shi Shao really misses this opportunity, he might as well break his own legs and drag him into the palace to become a Consort!
Seeing the subtle change in his brother's expression, Shen Jingyu continued: "The previous queen was indeed sent away by this woman."
Once, there was a family whose magical practices were in direct opposition to another. That family bore the surname Long.
The latest heir, Long Jiuyuan, fell in love with Gulina. However, the infatuated man became a tragic figure in a tale of unrequited love. Gulina married the king, while Long Jiuyuan delved into dark sorcery.
Shi Shao eagerly asked, "So, is Gulina now in Long Jiuyuan's hands? Can she possibly have a good life there?"
Shen Jingyu clearly pondered this question as well, but based on his current investigation, it seemed that there might be no flaws in Long Jiuyuan's situation. In fact, he had been searching for the missing Gulina for many years.
With the courage from his drink, Shi Shao suggested, "Maybe it's all just an elaborate ruse! Something for the king to see!"
Shen Jingyu swirled the wine in his glass and slowly shook his head. "That's something I can't know! To find out how this will end, we must continue our investigation."
As for what came next, did you wish for your true Mother-in-law to return? There was still much to consider! Shen Jingyu dropped this cryptic remark, leaving Shi Shao lost in thought.
In his mind, there was a vast net, yet he never realized that the fish caught within it was himself!
Shi Shao felt that this world was far too fantastical! It turned out he had been living a life manipulated by others since childhood.
