Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 986 Caught by Husband, the Commander, on Their Wedding Night (19)

"I would have given in to you before, but do you not see how difficult my situation is now?!" Zhu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose.

He can choose not to welcome concubines, but Shen Yi shouldn't demand that he only have one woman!
Shen Yi clutched her handkerchief, remaining silent. If she were a native, it wouldn't matter, but she was a woman destined to travel from the modern world and become an empress. Why should she share a man with another woman?

No, she has to think of a way.

When she first transmigrated to ancient times, she was thinking of making great strides and inventing some modern things.

But she was just an ordinary cow or horse, with no skills. Gunpowder and papermaking existed in this era, and even if they didn't, she wouldn't know how to make them! She couldn't even make perfumes or soaps, and even if she could, they wouldn't be of much use.

Fortunately, she was placed in the household of a cabinet minister, which was equivalent to that of a prime minister. She was also the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Even if she did nothing, she could enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of her life.

The most important thing is to marry Zhu Jing, a high-quality man, so that she can become the empress in the future.

But now that Zhu Jing wants to take a concubine, she simply cannot accept it!

Seeing her silence, Zhu Jing sighed, "I'll return to the palace first. Think it over carefully."

Shen Yi returned to the manor dejectedly. Madam Shen quickly pulled her aside and asked, "What business does the Fourth Prince have with you today?"

"With the wedding date approaching, it's best for you two not to see each other again."

Shen Yi threw herself into Madam Shen's arms and sobbed, "Mother, the Prince says he wants to take a concubine and bring her into the family with me. What should we do? Go and talk to Father and ask him to stop him."

Madam Shen did not immediately agree, but instead asked, "Who is the candidate for concubine?"

"They say she's the legitimate daughter of General Xu." Shen Yi's brows furrowed with anger. "I don't want to share a husband with anyone else."

"Yi'er, the Fourth Prince has a bright future ahead of him. If he ascends to the throne, he will have no shortage of three thousand concubines. You just need to stay in the Empress's position and not act rashly," Madam Shen advised her.

Shen Yi said, "Mother, you make it sound so easy. If you really want to see things clearly, why don't you let Father take a concubine too? For so many years, Father has only kept one concubine outside who doesn't care about him at all."

"Slap!" She was slapped across the face by Madam Shen as soon as she finished speaking.

"You mean Lady Li? Lady Li is just a country woman. How can she be compared to the Prince?"

Madam Shen said coldly, "Don't you know what kind of status my family has? Your father only achieved what he has today because of my family."

"Even your father can't go against the prince's wishes. If he wants to take a concubine, you not only can't stop him, but you also have to be understanding. Don't think about such unrealistic things. In the future, managing the household and having children are the important things."

"Unless you marry a poor scholar, it's impossible for you to take a concubine."

Shen Yi covered her face, angrily saying, "I'd rather marry a poor scholar than share a husband with someone else!"

"Foolish!" Madam Shen laughed in exasperation. "If you marry a poor scholar, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that you're inferior to a concubine's daughter?"

“Shen Shuyi married the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. You can only be of a higher status than her if you marry a prince.”

Madam Shen didn't want to deal with her possessed daughter anymore. "Don't go out these next few days. Stay home and reflect on your actions. Marriage is a serious matter and shouldn't be taken lightly."

Just as Shen Yi was about to compromise, trouble struck her family.

Her father was suddenly arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guard without leaving a word. The entire Shen family was in a state of panic. Madam Shen was in a state of chaos and hurriedly went back to her maternal home to ask someone to find out what was going on. She also instructed Shen Yi to go to the Lu family to ask Shen Shuyi what had happened.

No matter what, Shen Shuyi is still a daughter of the Shen family, and there's no reason for her to ignore her father's life or death.

Shen Shuyi has been quite busy at the Lu residence lately. Lu Heng insisted on handing over the power to manage the household to her, including the keys to the storeroom and the account books. Everyone in the Lu residence is at her beck and call.

The man looked pleading, so she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

On her first day managing the accounts, she replaced the old-fashioned accounting system with a modern and practical one, preventing errors and omissions, and eliminating waste and embezzlement.

Double-entry bookkeeping involves recording the source and destination of each income and expenditure. The most important thing is to categorize the ledgers. The Lu family is large and prosperous, so the daily accounts should be separated from the accounts for land, shops and fixed assets.

Just as she was engrossed in her work, a maid came to report that someone from the Shen residence had arrived, and it was none other than the eldest young lady.

Shen Shuyi stopped what she was doing and said, "Let her in."

When Shen Yi entered the Lu residence and saw Shen Shuyi again, surprise appeared in her eyes.

After some time apart, this mistress's daughter has become even more beautiful. No wonder she's the daughter of a vixen!
She had also heard that Shen Shuyi used to be close to the Fourth Prince, and that if it weren't for her father, she would never have associated with such a vixen. Shen Shuyi took a sip of tea and glanced at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi felt ignored by her gaze and was annoyed, but her father was the most important thing right now.

If something happens to Father, the entire Shen family is doomed.

Shen Yi composed herself, "Do you know why Father was suddenly taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guards are close advisors to the Emperor. How could I, a woman confined to the inner quarters, know about their investigations?" Shen Shuyi said calmly.

Shen Yi couldn't help but raise her voice, "How come you're not worried at all about Father's accident? Ask Lu Heng! He's the commander, how could he not know the inside story?!"

"I will not interfere in politics," Shen Shuyi replied casually.

Shen Yi's face immediately filled with disdain.

Why can't this native make sense? He's so feudal and inflexible!

Shen Shuyi wouldn't miss her gaze. "If there's nothing else, please go ahead."

"Shen Shuyi! If something happens to your father, you won't get away with it either!" Shen Yi suddenly stood up.

Shen Shuyi raised her eyes, "Who is the one who ends up getting the short end of the stick? I think you don't need to prepare any wedding dress. Whether you can even marry the Fourth Prince is a question."

"What did you say?!" Shen Yi met her calm, yet cold eyes and felt a chill run down her spine.

Why does she look so confident of victory?

This was a stark contrast to her timid and submissive demeanor when she first entered the Shen residence.
Shen Shuyi smiled faintly, "I'm telling you, your good days are coming to an end."

She gestured to the servant waiting nearby, "Show the guests out."

Shen Yi was forcibly expelled from the Lu residence, while Lu Heng emerged from the palace at the same time.

Shen Shuyi stood up when she saw someone return, but before she could say anything, the man swept her up in his arms.

She quickly patted Lu Heng's arm, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

“No one’s watching, what’s there to be afraid of?” When Lu Heng said this, all the servants along the way lowered their heads.

Shen Shuyi was speechless as he carried her all the way back to the new house. With a "bang," the door closed, and Lu Heng lowered his head to kiss her cherry lips.

"Have you had some tea? It smells delicious." After giving her a kiss, Lu Heng pecked at the corner of her lips again.

Shen Shuyi pushed him, "What's wrong with you? You've been like this ever since you came back."

"I missed you." Lu Heng had been busy from morning till night, and rushed back as soon as he finished. He had never felt so eager to go home before.

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Shen Shuyi's lips, lingering on her lips and kissing her repeatedly.

Shen Shuyi placed her hands on his chest and responded to his kiss.

The kiss lasted so long that she couldn't breathe and bit Lu Heng's lips.

Lu Heng hissed softly as he released the person in his arms, chuckling softly in a hoarse voice, "Little wildcat."

Shen Shuyi originally wanted to retort to him, but when she saw the deep teeth marks left on his lips, which seemed to be broken and bruised, she found it a bit comical.

She couldn't help but laugh, her lips curving slightly, but she didn't tell him.

Lu Heng gently rubbed her waist with his large hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait for me tonight."

"I have something to discuss with my staff in the study."

Shen Shuyi's lips moved, as if she wanted to tell him about her mouth, but seeing that he was completely unaware, she let it go.

"Hmph, I'm not waiting for you."
