In the third year of Jingsheng's reign, Shen Wan's father was involved in a corruption case, and her mother was forced to commit herself to the Duke of Wei.
Since then, Shen Wan has become the "third lady" in an embarrassing situation in the house.
Shen Wan was originally timid and delicate. She followed her mother's teachings and lived cautiously. She even avoided her two brothers who were as dazzling as pearls in her family.
Until the case of her mother's murder of the Duke was revealed, Shen Wan became a sinner in the house, from a third lady with no reputation to a concubine who could be bullied by everyone.
*
Pei Yun, the second son of the prince, deviated from the traditional ways and entered the military camp when he was young. He made great military exploits and was in charge of one hundred thousand elite soldiers.
One day, the Duke's Mansion held a banquet to welcome Pei Yun, and Shen Yuan was called to the banquet by the eldest son.
Shen Wan leaned over to pour wine for the guests, her expression was extremely humble and gentle, and the spring light could be vaguely glimpsed on her slender neck.
Pei Yun strode to the banquet, lifted Shen Wan from the guest's lap like a drowned dog, and frowned viciously: "Shen Wan, do you have no bones?"
Shen Yun just took blood from the old lady's heart. The blood on her fingertips was still uncondensed and dripped on Pei Yun's sleeves. A look of panic filled her hibiscus face.
*
Pei Yun hated Shen Wan's charming flattery, but he loved her dependence and obedience.
He was extremely patient and brought her energy back bit by bit. From now on, her tameness, coquettishness and naivety only belonged to him.
Until the news spread throughout Chang'an that Pei Yun was about to marry the princess. On that day, Pei Yun asked Shen Yun if she would be his concubine.
Shen Wan nodded softly.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wan escaped overnight.
*
Thousands of miles away from Chang'an, in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Wan and Wen Wen stood side by side. The scholar put his palm on Shen Wan's lower back. Shen Wan's belly was slightly swollen, and her eyebrows were arched in a smile.
Pei Yun raised his lips and sneered, what a scene of love and harmony.
The moment she saw him, Shen Wan's stretched smile froze and her face turned pale.
*
The scholar's bloody severed palm was casually thrown at Shen Yuan's feet. Pei Yunsen's cold eyes swept across her belly and finally landed on her red lips.
He chuckled: "Want to save him?
"Please. "
