Chapter 300 What does it have to do with us?
Chai Bin looked at Shen Jing'an, curled his lips, and sneered, "Mr. Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Some things I think are better said in private." Shen Jing'an was rarely confident, staring straight at Chai Bin without backing down or giving in.
Shen Shuyi stood in the corridor and watched this scene, with the corners of his lips raised and his eyes full of mockery.
Chai Bin narrowed his eyes and followed Shen Jingan to the side: "Mr. Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Shen Jing'an turned to look at him and said in a cold voice: "I haven't congratulated Brother Chai yet on receiving the marriage granted by His Majesty. I have the honor to marry Princess Anle."
"What do you want to say?" Chai Bin said decisively, his eyes fixed on Shen Jingan, full of resentment and murderous intent.
Shen Jingan put one hand behind his back and smiled gently: "I just don't know if Princess Anle knows about Brother Chai's concubine and illegitimate child."
Chai Bin laughed out loud, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which made Shen Jingan feel creepy.
He suppressed the fear in his heart, unwilling to be always shrouded by his shadow, and immediately said: "If there is anything wrong with my sister, I will tell Princess Anle about Brother Chai's affair truthfully. I just don't know if the marriage will be so smooth by then."
Chai Bin smiled viciously: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Shen."
After that, without giving Shen Jingan a chance to speak again, Chai Bin and his group took Shen Jingyu to report to Xiao Heyu.
After watching the excitement, Shen Shuyi withdrew his gaze.
Shen Meiru stood not far from Shen Shuyi and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "I don't know what my second brother said to Guard Chai."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Fifth sister, why don't you go ask Second Brother?"
After saying this, without giving Shen Meiru a chance to speak again, Shen Shuyi took his people back to the room.
Shen Meiru stood there feeling a little awkward. Ever since she stole Shen Shuyi's "handwriting" at the last birthday party, she had always been a little afraid to face Shen Shuyi's cold eyes.
But even she did not expect that such a powerful mistress could not be a match for her second elder sister.
If she had known this earlier, she would never have offended this second sister...

Shen Shuyi was in a good mood after returning.
Shen Jingan's piece of information was like a death warrant for Shen Jingyu.
Even if Chai Bin or the Third Prince would not easily ask for her name, Shen Shuyi was certain that Chai Bin would not let Shen Jingyu have an easy time because of this threat.
Yu Ping made the bed for Shen Shuyi while saying, "But Miss, will Chai Bin's marriage be cancelled..."
Jinzhu said at the side: "If you want to withdraw, just withdraw. It has nothing to do with us."
Yuping paused and said, "That's right."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "It's not that easy to back off. His Majesty has issued an imperial decree that the marriage will be held after the New Year. How can we back off on such a promise? At most, Chai Bin's life will not be easy. He will be criticized by Concubine Rou and the Third Prince on the outside, and tormented by Princess Anle on the inside. But it's been so long since this happened. How stupid would Chai Bin be to keep this handle?"
"Miss, what you mean is that the mistress has been dealt with? Shen Jingan can no longer threaten Chai Bin."
Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice: "The Chai family is not stupid to have made it this far. Jiang Li has checked and found that the mistress has been dealt with by Chai Bin. As for the illegitimate child, Chai Bin arranged a different identity for him and sent him away. He was also announced to have died of illness. How can they hold him responsible now?"
Even if they can be captured, the royal family won't care as long as the person is dead.
After all, revealing the affair with a concubine and an illegitimate child before the wedding was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Princess Anle. But if the Chai family dealt with the people, it would mean that they attached great importance to Princess Anle, and when others mentioned it, they would at most regard these things as a romantic affair.

At this moment, Shen Jingyu was taken to a rather luxurious residence in the Jade Buddha Temple.
Although he had never been there, he knew that this was a courtyard that only royal relatives could enter. Shen Jingyu was pushed into a woodshed. The dim and cramped environment and the dust in the air made her frown.
She still maintained her generosity and propriety, and turned to look at the guards at the door: "When will the Third Prince see me?"
The guard glanced at her and scolded her rudely, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Your Highness will meet you whenever he is in a good mood. It is not your turn to ask."
With a 'bang', the sound of the door closing was heard. Shen Jingyu looked around the woodshed again and her face became completely gloomy.
The spider webs in the corners were thick and heavy, and the air was filled with a strong musty smell that made her almost nauseous.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never been in such an environment, but now she had to suffer such humiliation because of a false accusation.
Shen Jingyu found a straw mat to sit on and tried to comfort herself. This was the price that had to be paid in the game of imperial power. If one did not give up the capital, there would never be any big gains.
She could certainly play it safe and remain neutral like Shen Jingchuan.
But Shen Jingchuan is her father, a man, and he still has a chance to display his talents, but she is a woman, and except for marriage, she has no other chance to compete.
So she could only gamble.
And there weren't many people she could afford to bet on, so she could only give it a try.
Shen Jingyu lowered her eyes, and couldn't help but think of Master Huai Hai's prediction again, but in an instant, she remembered the fortune she had drawn...
Shen Jingyu was confused and didn't know how the Eighth Prince would save her.
But she was not a fool. She just knew that her life would not be easy tonight.
Then Shen Jingyu thought of what Shen Jingan said to Chai Bin before she was taken away, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart again.
Unfortunately, there are too many unknowns...
Who wanted to frame her? Where did the letter come from?
Why did Chai Bin target her? Or did the Third Prince want to punish her because of her relationship with the Eighth Prince...
Shen Jingyu's thoughts were mixed up with so many things.
Just as she was in a daze, the door of the woodshed suddenly opened, and moonlight poured all over the floor.
"The Third Prince's wife wants to see you! Miss Shen, please come with us!" A nanny with neat hair and a fierce face came in first. As soon as she finished speaking, without giving Shen Jingyu a chance to speak, two guards stepped forward and began to escort her.
"Let me go, I can walk by myself!" Shen Jingyu tried to break free.
Unfortunately, the other party clearly wanted to humiliate her deliberately. The nanny sneered and said, "Ms. Shen is a precious body, how can I trouble you?"
The guards moved roughly and took big steps. One of them held one of Shen Jingyu's arms and dragged her out.
Shen Jingyu staggered and tried to catch up, but the two men deliberately wanted to humiliate her. Even if she raised her feet, she had no chance to take a step. Shen Jingyu was furious and could not help struggling.
During the struggle, the hairpin on her head fell off, and her hair became much more messy.
In less than half a cup of tea, Shen Jingyu was brought to a rather luxurious inner room, which was decorated with soft pink brocade everywhere, with pearl curtains and jade screens, swaying light and shadows, maids and servants standing with their hands hanging down, and a small Buddhist temple built on an entire wall, with a pure gold Buddha statue enshrined on an altar made of golden sandalwood.
