1195 Rongguohou Mansion 2
Looking at Shen Qingxi's gossipy eyes, Chu Ye touched her head helplessly and somewhat docilely.
"You, let's just say this to me. If it is passed on to the Emperor or Duke Qing's Mansion, be careful to cause disaster to your Prime Minister's Mansion."
Shen Qingxi raised her eyebrows.
This man is really... he was the one he talked about about Sun Xiangjun and Rong Guohou, but now he is here to teach her a lesson.
"Hmph, you said it first."
Chu Ye rarely saw Shen Qingxi showing such a coquettish little daughter, and his whole heart suddenly became soft. He gently held Shen Qingxi's hand.
"Yes, yes, I said first. Then do you still want to listen?"
Shen Qingxi nodded quickly and was gossiping. Looking at the dignified and noble Sun Xiangjun and Rong Guohou...what would there be that people cannot know about?
"You must, prince, please tell me quickly."
Her eyes were flashing with gossip, and her already bright eyes were even more bright because of curiosity.
Chu Ye suddenly had the idea of teasing her.
"Then... call me my name and I'll say it."
Shen Qingxi looked at Chu Ye, how could she not know that he wanted to tease her?
However, she wanted to know the secret between Sun Xiangjun and Rong Guohou, and it was not difficult to just shout a name.
"Chu Ye, please tell me quickly, okay?"
She blinked at Chu Ye when she spoke, and the evil fire that Chu Ye had not yet disappeared burned again. Facing Shen Qingxi, she could always easily arouse his instinct of a man. In this case, Chu Ye finally understood what it means to shoot himself in the foot.
He coughed in a calm manner, covering up the panic in his heart well.
"Since Qingxi wants to hear it, I will tell you it's hard for me."
Chu Ye took a sip of tea before saying slowly.
"The Marquis of Rong was not originally the candidate for the prince appointed by the old marquis. He was a concubine's eldest son, but he had extremely high talent in war. He started to follow the Marquis on the battlefield at the age of twelve. After several years of hard work, he made great military achievements. This Marquis not only had a lot of military achievements, but also looked elegant. At that time, many young ladies from Yong'an City admired him."
The most taboo thing for a wealthy family is that the legitimate son is before he is released and the concubine's son is released first. What he is afraid of is a concubine's eldest son who has real talent and knowledge like the Rongguohou.
"As a concubine's son, Rongguo Hou is not inferior to any legitimate son. Whether in terms of his ability or his mind, although Rongguo Hou was a legitimate son, he was always sick. Even if the old marquis looked for medical treatment and medicine, the prince passed away at the age of twenty. Under such circumstances, Rongguo Hou finally inherited the title."
"Then what happened to him and Concubine Sun?"
Sun Xiangjun is the eldest daughter of Duke Qing, so he definitely doesn't look down on a concubine's son. Shen Qingxi can still be sure of this.
"In the first year of inheriting the title, Mr. Rong went to the palace to attend a banquet, and met Concubine Sun, who had not yet been married. It is said that... Mr. Rong fell in love with her at first sight, and after returning, he asked the old Marquis to go to Duke Qing's mansion to propose marriage."
Chu Ye said and blinked at Shen Qingxi.
"Then he was rejected?" Shen Qingxi continued.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ye shook his head.
