Chapter 103 - 101 Does the Crown Prince Actually Like Shen Yinning_2
The conversation between Gao Zheng and Yin Shanshan fell into the ears of the crowd, and the looks they directed at Shen Yinning changed again and again.
So Shen Yinning had already married while she was in Gan State.
The reason she appeared in the Capital was due to Gao Zheng’s reassignment as a Capital Official.
Many noble sons revealed expressions of regret.
For someone as stunning as Shen Yinning to marry a man as plain and low-ranking as Gao Zheng, a man from a poor background, was simply a waste of heavenly beauty!
From the words of that Gao Family concubine, it could even be discerned that Shen Yinning was unloved by Gao Zheng and spent her days in the inner courtyard vying for favor.
They couldn’t help but recall the glorious image of Shen Yinning in the Capital three years earlier, sighing deeply at her fall from grace.
Some scheming young nobles looked Shen Yinning over secretly. Back then, Shen Yinning had a noble status and was the Crown Prince’s fiancée—no one dared harbor improper thoughts about her. But now, she was merely the wife of a petty official, with someone like Gao Zheng, an Eighth Rank official, ranking even lower than their mansion’s Chief Steward. They wondered if Gao Zheng could be pressured into opening a back door for them late at night, allowing them to steal her beauty and savor the former darling of heaven for themselves.
Shen Yunxi stared at Shen Yinning, her gaze flickering with subtle changes.
So Shen Yinning had returned to the Capital on Gao Zheng’s coattails.
