The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 108 Listen to Hexagram 8

Qinghong, the maid who brought Shen Wen to Ziwei Court, found another change of clothes. When she didn't see Shen Wen in the compartment behind the secret door, she immediately broke into a sweat. Just as she was about to go out to look for her, she found that Miss Shen had actually gone to the main hall. She hid at the secret door and listened to the conversation for a while.

Oddly enough, the little princess seemed to have a pair of eyes on the back of her head. With her back to the secret door, she knew where Qinghong was hiding and drank her out.

Shen Wen looked at Shen Shuyuan twice calmly.

Qinghong knew that one of the two distinguished guests was a princess and the other was a concubine. Given her status, she should never interrupt Shen Wen on her own initiative. However, she was anxious and urged Shen Wen, "Miss, please come with me quickly. If the Marquis finds us, we will all be punished!"

Shen Wen stood up obediently and wanted to follow Qinghong.

But Concubine Shen Shuchan scolded Qinghong, "What an unruly girl! Who are you to be so presumptuous here? Did I ask you to speak? You interrupted me! Is this how you discipline servants in the Marquis' Mansion? I will ask the Marquis to come and ask him. You came in and out of here casually and frightened me and the little princess. What crime should you be punished for?"

Qinghong shuddered with fear, her knees bent weakly, and she was about to kneel down tremblingly.

Shen Wen stepped forward and held her, saying, "Don't pay attention to her. It's not her turn to discipline the maids in your mansion." She looked at Shen Shuchan and said, "Take care, Concubine. No matter what mistakes this girl and I make, Chu Yanqiu will punish us. As someone from Lord Chu's room, I cannot talk to you. We will retreat now." After that, she took Qinghong and quickly returned the same way.

Shen Shuchan was so anxious that she kept calling out "Brother"

Shen Shuyuan said slowly, "Don't shout, he won't go with you. Don't you know it now? He is trapped in the Jiguo Mansion and has no choice! I advise you to stay here. With your status, can you compete with Chu Yanqiu? Not to mention you, even if the prince wants to, he will have to think twice."

Shen Shuchan knew it very well, so she had to suppress her thoughts.

Shen Wen and Qinghong had just walked out of the back door of Ziwei Courtyard. When they looked up, they saw Chu Yanqiu standing not far away, wearing a black suit embroidered with gold edges. He was looking at this place coldly.

Shen Wen took a few steps, then suddenly ran happily to Chu Yanqiu, jumped up and hugged Chu Yanqiu's neck, wrapped his legs around his waist, and kissed his cheek.

This direct kiss made Chu Yanqiu lose his balance. Chu Yanqiu lifted her buttocks and shook them, saying with a smile, "You are naughty again! Where did you hide? Make my maid find you easily?"

Shen Wen rubbed his nose and mouth against the man's neck and said, "Asking questions as soon as we meet, don't talk! Let me smell you carefully, I want to kiss you a few more times and leave a few strawberry marks on your neck."

Chu Yanqiu was so happy that he held her hips and bounced them again, and walked with her for a while. When he saw her underwear, he said, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Didn't you ask Qinghong to get you a new one?"

Shen Wen leaned on him and said coquettishly, "I don't like it. I want to wear your clothes. I don't want to be among those women. I want to follow you closely. I don't want to be separated from you."

Chu Yanqiu looked at her with amusement, so she deliberately swung her feet and shook him, saying, "No... No! Those women are too pretentious, fighting with each other all day long, and they like to lead simple people like me astray. If I stay with them for too long, my heart will be twisted sooner or later. It's better for me to follow you and hang out with men..." As she spoke, she gently pulled Chu Yanqiu's face and said, "It can also broaden my horizons..."

Chu Yanqiu was shaken by him and agreed without thinking.

Chu Yanqiu put her down and told Chihe to find her a piece of men's clothing, but not his own, and reminded her to make sure it was a suitable and good color.

Chu Yanqiu personally brought Shen Wen back to the backyard, found a quiet room nearby, and asked her to change into a man's body.

When Shen Wen came out again, he transformed into a lively and carefree young man, holding a fan and deliberately walked a few steps in front of Chu Yanqiu. Chu Yanqiu tapped her on the forehead and said helplessly: "Now that I have done what you want, you must listen to me and not cause trouble in such an occasion. Even if there is something strange, you must endure it and not say it out."

Shen Wen nodded quickly and agreed.

But when she actually went to the party in the front yard with this man, it was too late for her to regret.

She was an ordinary person with no status and no one knew her. In order not to arouse suspicion, she could only pretend to be a servant or errand boy like Chi He when she followed Chu Yanqiu. With such an identity, she could only stand while the master sat, watch the master eat, and respectfully serve the master when he asked for something. This made her as bored and depressed as she could be.

At this moment, her master was having a secret conversation with a distinguished guest in the side room. She and Chi He stood on one side and rushed to the door god. Shen Wen leaned against the door, his eyes wishing they could look up to the sky.

She couldn't stand it anymore after staying there for a while, so when Chihe wasn't paying attention, she sneaked away.

Arriving at the banquet, she picked a table and sat down, looking around with interest, savoring the entertainment life of the ancient aristocracy. She had just sat down for a while when three or five officials' sons sat beside her.

These officials' sons were probably all studying for the imperial examinations. On the surface, they seemed to be gentle and polite with a bit of arrogance. One of them, Han Yuteng, who was called the know-it-all, started a conversation and said, "Is that the man in blue sitting on the right just now? He is a very important person!"

Another skinny dark-skinned guy with bulging eyes said hurriedly, "Oh! How did he get so famous?"

Han Yuteng said, "A few years ago, I went to Xiliang City with my brother to visit relatives. I saw this hero kill a tiger with his bare hands. He was a capable subordinate of the old mayor of Xiliang City. He also had a sister who was also there at the time. Her martial arts skills were also very high. I heard that the lady was the daughter of the high priest of the Nanfan Kingdom. She will be the mother of a country in the future!"

Others also expressed their admiration and envy.

Han Yuteng was proud of this, and raised his eyebrows and said, "This young lady once studied martial arts with the old city lord for two years, so she is very familiar with the second young master of the Duke's Mansion who is here with us!"

The dark-skinned man suddenly had an idea and said, "Hey! You said that Lord Chu has not yet married a wife, is it because of this woman?"

Everyone followed his thoughts and nodded in agreement, saying, "That makes sense. Their status and position are a perfect match. That's probably it."

At this point, the man in green who was sitting not far away suddenly looked towards their table, his eyes shining with brilliance staring coldly at this place. The scholars were so frightened that they could not dodge and hurriedly talked about other things to show their embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the man in green came over with the big knife he carried with him, found a seat and sat next to them.

Everyone was silent.

Only Shen Wen had an indifferent expression and occasionally glanced at them, as if he was watching a good show.

The man in blue asked Han Yuteng, "Have you and I met before?"

Han Yuteng quickly reacted and said with gratitude: "Master Murong, have you forgotten? That year when you passed by Songshuling, you saw a government official being attacked by a white-haired tiger, and you rescued him in time!"

The hero Murong nodded and said, "Since you know him and he is a son of an official, you should not talk about him casually in the future, understand?"

Han Yuteng looked shy and said quickly, "Yes, yes! I will never do this again."

Murong said, "But you are right in your guess. My sister and Mr. Chu are really interested in getting married. But my sister holds an important position in Nanfan Country and has many official duties. It is not appropriate for her to come to Daju Country to discuss marriage. However, they have a token of love, so it is only a matter of time before good things come together. You will know when the time comes."

Everyone was delighted to hear this, as if this good news was their own.

At this moment, another middle-aged man in foreign clothing who was sitting at the same table with Murong the Hero stood up and shouted at Murong the Hero: "What a great sister, what a great high priest of the Nanfan Kingdom, to discuss a private engagement in public, so shameless, could it be that your sister has some unspeakable illness?"

This high-profile provocative statement immediately attracted everyone to watch.

Hero Murong slammed the table and stood up.

A scholar sitting next to Shen Wen whispered in the thin man's ear: "This is the ambassador of Xifan. I met him at the wedding banquet when the two sons of the Ji family took concubines!" The thin man nodded and said, "Oh? That's how it is." The scholar said, "I heard from my uncle that he had twice persuaded Your Majesty to marry Princess Huosier of his country to Lord Chu!"

When Shen Wen heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In this way, she brought the war between the hero Murong and the ambassador of the Western Regions onto herself.

The Xifan ambassador blinked his eyes and asked Shen Wen: "Young Master! What are you laughing at? Are you laughing like that because you think what I said makes sense?"

Shen Wen raised his hand cautiously and said, "Sorry! I didn't mean it. I just saw two mosquitoes fighting and I laughed."

This statement caused everyone to burst into laughter!

Shen Wen pretended to be shy and covered his forehead with his hands, then secretly stood up and slipped out of the crowd.

She didn't know that the hero Murong had already seen through her identity. Since the hero Murong was interested in the marriage between his sister and Chu Yanqiu, he paid close attention to the women around Chu Yanqiu. He remembered all the men and women who had affairs with Chu Yanqiu. Although Shen Wen was a man at that time, the hero Murong also recognized him. As far as he knew, this girl Shen used to be the wife of the eldest son Ji, and was originally a man.
