Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 122 Part 2: Fuma
The sound of the sigh made the woman fall into a frenzy. She looked at the other person’s eyes, nearly becoming intoxicated in the gentleness. She suddenly said, “Shen dear, when are we getting married?”
The man, the current minister in the Ministry of Rites, the favorite person of Emperor Hong Xiao, Shen Yurong, was stunned. He looked as if he was abruptly pulled out as he was sinking in the warmth. He lifted his body slightly and avoided Princess Yongning’s close embrace.
Princess Yongning also sensed his estrangement and recovered from the previous indulgence. However, soon, she ignorantly leaned over and spoke with feign girly anger, “Shen dear, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Princess,” Shen Yurong did not call her ‘Yongning’. He frowned, “It’s not been a year since my wife died…..”
Xue Fang Fei again! Princess Yongning hated it so much. He always said to mourn Xue Fang Fei so that the people could see his sentiment. But Princess Yongning’s heart was clear that these were just excuses.
The reason why he is not willing to marry her is because that person is still in his heart! Xue Fang Fei is already dead, but he still keeps her constantly in his mind! As to why he treats her gently like honey is because she has Cheng Wang as her brother, while she is a princess. He agrees to be together with her due to power and wealth!
It’s not that Princess Yongning did not understand, but it’s useless even if she understood because she loved him. The more restrained and courteous Shen Yurong was, the more she was unable to hold back. He was lukewarm, sometimes distant, sometimes close, which was a fatal poison for her. There’s a Xue Fang Fei in his heart, she wanted to erase Xue Fang Fei bit by bit from his heart, let her vanish in a puff of smoke.

The more she could not get Shen Yurong, the more she desired him. No matter whether Shen Yurong was sincere or not towards her, she wanted to tie Shen Yurong by her side. He could only see her, one woman, in his lifetime. Unable to get his heart, then she wanted to get the person. Now it seemed that wanting to get this man’s heart still required some time, she could no longer wait and started losing her patience, so she impatiently wanted to obtain the person.
She wanted to ask Shen Yurong to be the princess’s husband.
“Shen dear,” Princess Yongning said tenderly, “I have reached the age, mother concubine has brought up the matter of looking for a suitable match for me….. I am from the imperial household and can’t decide on my marriage myself. If you were not in my heart, I would have been with other people, afraid now I have become someone else’s wife already.”
Shen Yurong gently looked at her. Sometimes he was cold towards her, but sometimes he was affectionate towards her. Princess Yongning was messed by him until she felt ill at ease, unable to stop herself, like what happened at this time.
As a result, her voice as well as her body softened, practically turning into a pool of water, tightly wrapping up Shen Yurong.
“Say, if mother concubine really marries me to someone else, will you be heart-broken? Will you feel regretful?”
Shen Yurong said softly, “Naturally broken-hearted and regretful.”
Shen Yurong immediately smiled like a flower, “Then what are you waiting for, as long as I explain clearly to mother concubine, this matter will be done.”
“But…..”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})“Do you want to say that you want to observe mourning for Xue Fang Fei again?” Over and over again, Princess Yongning’s patience finally ran out. She was still smiling, but her tone carried a chill in it. Her red fingernails ran lightly on Shen Yurong’s face, “Shen dear, everyone knows how Xue Fang Fei died. Because she had an illicit affair with others, she was ashamed and depressed so she died. Everyone protested unfairness for you, even if you don’t observe mourning, even if you marry another person the next day, no one will say that you are at fault.”
“Xue Fang Fei is a dead person, but I am a living person. Observing mourning for a dead person, don’t tell me that you want to continue wronging me? My elder brother has met you several times and thinks highly of you. If you let me down, elder brother will also be angry….. I don’t wish for the two of you to have misunderstandings because of me.” She hinted.
This was clearly a threat.
Nowadays, Shen Yurong was seen differently by Cheng Wang, but he had not yet exhibited his strengths to make Cheng Wang look at him as a confidant. Sooner or later, Cheng Wang was going to rebel and it seemed that the probability of him succeeding was quite big. There’s ups and downs in the world, Shen Yurong also wanted to do something major.
Princess Yongning could be his stepping stone and could also be his stumbling block. She could become the bridge between Cheng Wang and Shen Yurong, but could also break this bridge.
He knew she could do it.
Shen Yurong looked at him as Princess Yongning gazed at him with a lingering smile. She murmured and pouted, “Darling Shen, quickly promise me….. Promise me…..”
He knew she was spoiled and had no patience. At that time, she took a fancy to him, knew that he had a wife and quickly eliminated Xue Fang Fei. She had spent unprecedented patience on him, perhaps he should rejoice. Princess Yongning had been so patient towards him for so long, once her patience towards him was gone and looked for another person, he would forever have no more chance.
The chance to change fate.

There’s a trace of satire in his smile which quickly disappeared. In a deep and gentle tone, he said, “Okay.”
Princess Yongning’s smile froze. She looked at him, “What did you say?” She was prepared to be rejected again by him, but at the same time, she had made up her mind not to step back this time. Regardless of threats, promises, or force, she wanted to be Madam Shen, despite Shen Yurong’s willing or unwillingness.
But he unexpectedly said that he was willing.
Princess Yongning jumped up. In an instant, a child-like glee appeared in her usual haughty and mean face. She held Shen Yurong’s neck and said cheerfully, “Shen dear, you promised! Tomorrow I’ll enter the palace to inf orm mother concubine so that mother concubine can tell emperor brother about this!”
Shen Yurong patted her back and hugged her. All the servants lowered their heads. The back of Princess Yongning’s body was facing him, so no one saw the indifference in Shen Yurong’s eyes.
He knew where Princess Yongning’s bottom line was, so he had to have a perfect restrain. Many times, having one more point was too much, and having less of one point was too little. He had to be proper, not anxious so that he could slowly obtain the things he wanted.
When he walked out of the princess mansion, Princess Yongning was extremely reluctant.
