534 Truth?
Translator: Lordbluefire
After having a relationship and being married, she would have a child!
So the real purpose of the other party should be to have her and Song Chen have a child?
Country A’s royal family members were declining in number. If the purpose was a child, didn’t it mean that they wanted Jing Zhen’s bloodline?
Although Jing Zhen had always pretended to be foolish and innocent, he was actually very shrewd...
Her father had always been clean and never had any private affairs in the entertainment industry...
So, because they had no way to scheme against Jing Zhen, they could only scheme against herself because she was Jing Zhen’s descendant?
She couldn’t help but ponder, who else would want Jing Zhen’s bloodline?
Shen Ruojing felt a headache thinking about it...
She turned her head to look at Chu Cichen and saw the man also frowning and pondering.
However, there was a hint of realization in his expression. Shen Ruojing then asked, “Do you know anything? Who from Country A’s royal family would plot against me?”
Chu Cichen analyzed for her. “The Old King actually had three concubines, and the Old Queen only had one son, your father. The other concubines had many children, but the descendants of those people were all killed by your grandmother, the Old Queen. Your father became the only heir of Country A.”
Shen Ruojing frowned. “So you mean that it was the old concubines who wanted a child of royal bloodline?”
Chu Cichen coughed. “There is a possibility. Only with a child can they compete with your grandmother. And as far as I know, the families of those old concubines were not wiped out by your grandmother. But I don’t think it’s them...”
Shen Ruojing didn’t know much about Country A’s royal family.
After all, Country A was too small. Even if she had executed missions for the organization, she had never been there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she heard this, she was stunned. “Besides the old concubines, who else would want my father not to return but want a child instead?”
Chu Cichen looked at her and coughed again. “There are also your father’s royal consorts.”
Shen Ruojing. “???”
She was dumbfounded. “My dad has a consort... Wait, did you just say... consorts?”
(... There’s more than one?! Is he really that much of a scumbag?)
Seemingly aware of her doubts, Chu Cichen didn’t want to directly expose the ugliness of his father-in-law.
He continued to cough and explain, “Country A is a constitutional monarchy, and the status of women is very low. It is a polygamous system...”
After speaking, he immediately explained, “But your father was indeed wronged. He left Country A because he ran away from marriage and did not want to marry anyone. But after your grandmother killed all the other heirs, he became the crown prince. Your grandmother then took the liberty to help your father marry three consorts for the sake of her own position and balancing various forces.”
Shen Ruojing. “...”
A nameless anger surged in her heart.
At this moment, she finally understood why the Shen family didn’t want to send her for a political marriage. This wasn’t giving away a daughter but basically offering tribute!
Fine, the low status of women could be overlooked, but having multiple wives?! This was especially true for a king…
She had been wondering why the Queen was suppressing the Shen family, and why her father didn’t come forward to acknowledge his identity... but now everything was clear.
If it wasn’t for the Queen pushing Shen Ruojing to a dead-end, her father probably would never have wanted to go home!
Having her mother, Shen Qianhui, and several other well-connected and influential young ladies of Country A sharing one husband made Shen Ruojing anxious for her mother.
She became more and more convinced that she must go to Country A with her mother!
She could not let her mother become a sacrificial lamb thrown into a wolf’s den.
When Shen Ruojing was deeply shocked, Chu Cichen said, “So I speculate that the person plotting against you is one of your father’s royal consorts. She probably only wants a child and doesn’t want your father to return... I estimate that a new round of struggle for the throne has begun.”
Shen Ruojing took a deep breath and nodded in agreement with him.
Chu Cichen looked at her and tentatively said, “This trip to Country A is bound to be full of difficulties, so Jingjing, let me accompany you.”
However, Shen Ruojing looked at him firmly and said, “No.”
She had many trusted people in China, but the only one she could trust to protect the children was him.
In addition to owning the Chu Corporation, Chu Cichen was also 527. He would surely be able to protect the children!
Chu Cichen wanted to say something else, but seeing Shen Ruojing’s determined attitude, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly changed. “Do you and him have a token of love?
Shen Ruojing.
The topic had turned so abruptly that she didn’t understand it for a moment.
When she finally understood what he meant, she coughed and said, “It’s not really a token of love, just a cobblestone path we often walked on in the park. He picked one up from the path and said he wanted to keep it as a memento.”
Chu Cichen, however, said thoughtfully, “...but we don’t have a token of love between us.’
This made Shen Ruojing feel slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, she said, “Yes, we do.’
Chu Cichen furrowed his brows, unable to remember what their token of love
Shen Ruojing pretended to be angry. “You even forgot our token of love.”
Chu Cichen.
He immediately became cautious instead of jealous and asked carefully, “What is it then?”
Shen Ruojing looked at him and said slowly, “It’s a pink moon.’
As soon as she spoke, Chu Cichen seemed to remember something, and his expression softened.
It was when they were overseas. Back then, Chu Cichen thought that 518 had accepted him, so he didn’t wear a mask when he went on a date with her once.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that time, Shen Ruojing was wearing a mask, and the fake boyfriend had coincidentally said that he was on a business trip overseas, which was the time they took a photo at the university...
The two of them then walked casually on the beach by the sea.
Someone was setting off fireworks at that time, and the whole sky suddenly turned red with various colors.
Chu Cichen then took out his phone and suddenly took a photo of her.
It was a coincidence that the fireworks at that time were pink, and the entire sky, moon, and sea turned pink, creating a unique beauty.
Chu Cichen handed her the photo, and Shen Ruojing laughed and said, ‘Did you give me a pink moon as a love token?”
Chu Cichen’s face instantly turned red.
Thinking back to six years ago, those youthful days seemed to still be in front of him.
But then, seeing Chu Cichen furrowing his brows, Shen Ruojing hesitated and asked, “Wasn’t that you at the time?
Of the few deep impressions she had of that love six years ago, they all occurred overseas.
But at the time, Song Chen was based in China, so she naturally thought that everything that had happened overseas was with Chu Cichen.
However, upon careful consideration, Song Chen had lied to her that he was on a business trip overseas and even tricked her into going to the university to take a photo with Chu Cichen...
Could she have gotten it wrong?
As she was struggling, she heard Chu Cichen say with a darkened face. “It was
Shen Ruojing let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Cichen once again said softly, “Jingjing, can’t you tell the difference between me and him?”
Shen Ruojing was silent for a moment, suddenly not knowing how to answer the question.
Just then, her phone rang.
She answered the call, and a familiar electronic voice came from the other end..
‘Shen Ruojing, do you know why Song Chen and Chu Cichen look so alike?”
