Chapter 1834 Liu Xi's Plan (3)

Caiwei didn't care too much, and gave them a seat, then teased Juhua with a smile: "Let me see, Miss Shen got married, has she achieved anything?"

Juhua rolled her eyes and said mercilessly: "What achievement? It's good enough that she didn't die of anger!"

When Li Sheng heard what Juhua said, he immediately looked at Juhua nervously and signaled her not to say anything more. The Queen and she were good friends, and everyone in the capital knew it. Shen Juhua's words were clearly complaining to the Queen. If the Queen really blamed him, he would be in trouble!

However, the Queen did not ask any more questions. She only ordered the maids to serve tea, and then took a brocade box from the table beside her, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything good to give you for your wedding. Here is a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants. I think it is festive and suitable for your wedding. I will give it to you as a wedding gift!"

Xiaozhi handed the brocade box to Shen Juhua. Juhua opened the brocade box and saw that the pair of openwork mandarin duck jade pendants were carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade. The jade was extremely refined by hand, transparent and white, smooth and soft, like condensed fat, without any impurities. It was a top-grade jade at first glance.

"Oh, this is too expensive!"

"Thank you, Queen!"

Just as Juhua was about to refuse, Li Sheng had already stood up and thanked Caiwei.

Caiwei glanced at Li Sheng and smiled, "You're welcome. Juhua and I have known each other for a long time. It's only right that I give her a similar gift. This is Mr. Li's first time in the palace, right? Huanqiu, take him around to see the scenery in the palace, so that his trip is not in vain!"

After hearing this, Li Sheng hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, sang a fat nod, and followed Huanqiu out.

As soon as they left, Caiwei said to Juhua, "We just got married. What's the matter that makes you so upset? Tell me!"

Juhua had planned to tell Caiwei about this for a long time. When she heard Caiwei ask, she told Caiwei everything from beginning to end.

When Caiwei heard that Li Sheng was actually from Qing County, she was moved and remembered when she had met this son-in-law.

Last year, when the Queen Mother had just passed away, she and Nangong Yi went to Lingbei and passed through Qing County. When they were eating at Shen's Roast Duck, they saw a group of people escorting a man and a woman to the county government office downstairs. It was said that the man had abducted the courtesan of the brothel and eloped, and then they were both caught. The man was Li Sheng.

She still remembered how sad Li Sheng was when the brothel owner beat the courtesan named Yi Yi. She didn't expect that in just one year, he would become Juhua's husband!

Did he forget Yi Yi and marry Juhua after accidentally meeting the Shen family while traveling in the capital? Or did he plan it in advance and create an accidental encounter to become the son-in-law of the Shen family, intending to do something else in the future?

If it was the first case, Li Sheng had broken up with Yi Yi and wanted to live with Ju Hua wholeheartedly, she could let their conflict go without interfering, after all, it was the couple's business, and it would not be good for her to interfere too much; but if it was the second case, Li Sheng married into the Shen family with some ulterior motives and deceived Ju Hua, she would definitely teach him a lesson and let him know the consequences of deceiving others!

"Hey, Cai Wei! Cai Wei! What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Cai Wei in a daze, Ju Hua couldn't help but stretch out her arm and waved it at her from a distance.

Cai Wei came back to her senses and smiled: "I was thinking, Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen happily married their son-in-law, but as soon as they got married, the son-in-law had to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. Not only could he not stay with them for the New Year, but he also kidnapped their precious daughter. It's really sad!"
