Chapter 381 I am also here to see someone.
Unable to defeat Mrs. Shen, Shen Mu reluctantly agreed to stay at home for two more days so that the grandparents and grandson could talk.
Two days later, Shen Ruzhou bid farewell to Mrs. Shen. She wore a simple dress, no makeup or hairpins. She simply packed a few clothes and prepared to leave for the nunnery.
Shen Chumu felt sorry for her sister and insisted on sending it to the door. Worried that Shen Ruzhou would feel sad, she joked: "My sister looks good even in plain clothes."
"Of course, I'm naturally beautiful." Shen Ruzhou didn't look sad at all. It seemed that to her, this nunnery was more like going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Shen Chumu was dumbfounded by the heartlessness of his precious sister.The two of them walked side by side to the gate of the mansion, and there were already many people watching the excitement outside.
Seeing the two brothers and sisters coming out, many people began to point and point, and most of their words were ridiculing and ridiculing.
Shen Chumu immediately grimaced and raised his hand to drive away the person.Shen Ruzhou hurriedly stopped him and whispered in his ear: "This is just for show. If no one sees it, how can it reach the emperor's ears and satisfy the Tian family."
Shen Chumu nodded knowingly, and then looked at Shen Ruzhou's playful wink at him, knowing that this girl had another evil idea.
Sure enough, after stepping out of the gate, Shen Ruzhou immediately put on a sad look on his face, pretended to wipe his tears with a handkerchief, and then turned around and got on the carriage.
Shen Chumu secretly sighed: My sister is so good at acting, it would be a pity not to sing on stage.
Then he pretended to be ruthless, tossed his robe and turned around to go back home.
In the restaurant opposite the General's Mansion, Xiao Chenyan stood leaning against the window, taking in the full view of Shen Ruzhou's painful expression.
Watching the carriage drive away, Xiao Chenyan withdrew his gaze, sat at the Eight Immortals table in the elegant room, poured a glass of wine and drank it, and said proudly: "It seems that the Shen family still knows the importance and did not let Shen Ruzhou act nonsense."
"Just wait. When she has suffered enough, she will naturally come back to beg me." Xiao Chenyan was in a good mood and started to drink by himself.
Xiao Ruohan next to him didn't take it seriously, his face was still cold, he held the teacup with his slender fingers and took a sip, "The prince is anxious to leave the palace, just to see this?"
Xiao Chenyan picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, his eyes full of pride, "Some women are like fierce horses. It takes a lot of effort to tame them before they become obedient. I like this taming process and feel a sense of accomplishment."
Hearing this, Xiao Ruohan sneered lightly and said disdainfully: "Some women come and go only according to their hearts. No one can control them. Your Majesty, please don't underestimate women."
A bucket of cold water was thrown on him while he was in high spirits. Xiao Chenyan's eyes sparkled and he scolded, "Xiao Ruohan, don't pretend to be aloof in front of me. You keep saying that you don't want to marry me. Why don't you stay with me every day?" Half a step.”
Xiao Ruohan's eyelids rolled up, revealing a big white eye, and he raised his slender and white neck, more like a proud and elegant swan, "I am a female, helpless, naturally I dare not go against the wishes of the eldest princess, I can only obey the elders As ordered, I will follow the prince every day. If the prince feels that it is an eyesore, you can just refuse and ask the eldest princess to change her mind. I will leave on my own, and by then the prince’s ears will be clean."
Xiao Chenyan has already offended the eldest princess once because of Jianing's matter. Although his strength has increased now and he doesn't need the eldest princess's help as much as before, he still doesn't want to break up with him after all, so there's nothing wrong with leaving a way out. not good.So I thought of delaying it for a while, waiting to help cancel Jianing's marriage and ease the relationship with the eldest princess, and then refuse the marriage to Xiao Ruohan.
Therefore, in response to Xiao Ruohan's proposal, Xiao Chenyan could only wave his hand perfunctorily, "I have my own plans for this matter, you don't need to say anything."
Xiao Ruohan really didn't say anything else. He lowered his head and drank tea, elegant and quiet.Xiao Chenyan suddenly felt that Xiao Ruohan wouldn't be so annoying if he didn't speak, and in terms of appearance, she was indeed a beauty.
If he hadn't just wanted Shen Ruzhou to return to him, he might have favored Xiao Ruohan.
"Xiao Ruohan, I hope you don't understand the rules when you first enter Kyoto, so I won't argue with you. But in the future, you'd better know what to say and do."
When Xiao Chenyan saw that the other party was silent, he just thought that she had listened and continued to lecture, "The king and the eldest princess have always been close, and they regard you as one of their own, so they can persuade each other easily. Since you know that you have no one to rely on, If you are helpless, you should find a powerful man to marry, instead of being cold every day, no matter how beautiful your face is, no one wants to look at an ice cube every day."
Xiao Ruohan smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, if a woman can be relied upon by marrying a powerful man, why does Miss Shen want to reconcile? Do you think you are unreliable?"
"She doesn't know how to praise her. Just wait, there will be a time when she regrets it." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyan said angrily, "Sooner or later, she will have to cry and beg the king to let her come back."
When Xiao Ruohan saw that he was angry, he didn't respond directly.
After all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Although she wanted to say that the other party was just dreaming, she just smiled faintly and said, "I hope it will be as long as the prince expected, and I will wait for that day."
The two sat for a while and then planned to return home.Just as he walked out of the private room, he saw Bei Xiuyan walking out of the private room next door and bumped into him.
Xiao Chen Yanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression cold.
Did Beixiu Ban also come to see Shen Ruzhou?It seems that the recent rumors in Beijing are not groundless. Shen Ruzhou clearly said that he and Beixiu Yan are innocent, so the woman must be hiding something.
Xiao Chenyan gritted his teeth secretly, but with a polite smile on his face, he bowed his hands and saluted, "This restaurant is so good that the regent is here."
"Isn't King Wucheng here too?" Bei Xiuyan's expression did not change at all, with a frank look, as if it was a normal encounter.
Xiao Chenyan was irritated by his nonchalant look. Beixiu Yan really ignored the rumors and dared to appear here at such a sensitive moment.
Xiao Chenyan calmed down and pretended to sigh, "Although this restaurant is not well-known in Kyoto, the wine is good, and it tastes different. I just don't know if the regent is here to taste the wine or to see someone?"
"What is King Wu Cheng here for?" Bei Xiuyan looked unmoved and threw the question back to the other party.He was standing just at the end of the corridor, his long silver hair blowing in the wind, making him look even more elegant and free.
Xiao Chenyan was not to be outdone and said bluntly: "Of course I am here to see someone. Although Shen Ruzhou did something wrong and asked for divorce, after all, when we are a husband and wife, I have always been a sentimental person, so I don't want to come here to see someone off." It’s too much.”
"I am also here to see someone." Bei Xiuyan did not shy away from her at all. "After all, she often comes to the house to treat me, so it is not an exaggeration for me to come and see her off."
Bei Xiuyan's words not only admitted that he and Shen Ruzhou were in close contact, but also explained that the two of them got along because of medical treatment. His words were watertight and made it impossible to make mistakes.
Xiao Chenyan was suspicious in his heart, but could not find a reason to refute. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Bei Xiuyan's eyes paused for a moment after seeing Xiao Ruohan behind him. Although it was only a short moment, Bei Xiuyan's eyes were filled with confusion. The flash of confusion was still captured by Xiao Chenyan.
