Chapter 173 Junior Master Xie Wangan
Chapter 173 Junior Master Xie Wangan
After Zhou Yiran and Zhu Chutang left, the scene suddenly became deserted.
Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi suddenly saw Zhu Yanxiao's surprise turned into joy. The two women looked at each other and saw admiration and excitement for Master Zhu in each other's eyes. It was not until the two unrelated men left that they remembered that they had not yet performed the greetings.
"Prince Zhu." The two women bowed politely.
Zhu Yanxiao glanced at the two women, and for Shen Shen's sake, he still responded, "No need to be polite."
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhang Mingzhu was the first to ask, "Does Prince Zhu have anything to say to Shenshen? Mingzhu and Modi should step aside first."
"It's okay. Miss Shen, please follow me." Zhu Yanxiao's tone left no room for doubt.
Shen Shenshen didn't dare to say a word at this moment. She had already pissed off Xiao Zhu a few days ago. If she continued to "act on her own" today, Zhu Yanxiao might break up with her directly.
Because he was leaving and it would be a bit disappointing, Shen Shenshen hurriedly said to the two girls, "Thank you Mingzhu and Modi for inviting us today. Shen Shenshen is very happy. Let Miss Japan host the party and introduce Zhu Zhixi to you. Let's have a good gathering."
When Zhu Yanxiao heard Shen Shenshen say that she was going to host a banquet, she frowned slightly. If they were to hold a banquet in a teahouse or restaurant, there would probably be countless men who would show their affection to her.
"This prince asked Zhixi to send an invitation and meet at the prince's mansion."
Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi couldn't believe it: "Really... is it true?" Prince Zhong's Mansion, if it weren't for Shenshen, this would be a mansion they would never be able to go to in their lifetime.
"Ah."
"Thank you, Master Zhu." The two women bowed and thanked him repeatedly.
"Ziyuan, I haven't seen the monkeys in the royal enclosure that I talked about last time at the Duke of Jing'an's mansion." Shen Shenshen said dissatisfiedly.
"God, God, are you saying that this prince is wrong?"
"No, no, no, just a reminder, a reminder. Hahaha. How can the prince be wrong?" Shen Shenshen acted like a lackey that had not been seen for a long time, and the fox tail behind him kept shaking.
Zhu Yanxiao's heart softened, but his expression remained cold: "Shen Shenshen, this prince has not forgiven you."
"I know. Shen Shen apologizes to the handsome and unparalleled Prince Zhu." After saying this, he bowed and stood up without waiting for Zhu Yanxiao to speak. He blinked his eyes and said, "Is Prince Zhu satisfied? If not, Shen Shen will apologize again."
Zhu Yanxiao couldn't help but smile: "Follow me, my prince, and then send Shenshen back to the Marquis' Mansion after saying goodbye to your friends." He turned and walked towards the stairs to the backyard.
"Okay, Master." Shen Shen followed happily and servilely. After walking two steps, he remembered that he had two new friends. He turned around and waved at the two stunned women: "I am really happy today. I will wait for Shen Shen to invite you."
Zhang Mingzhu and Feng Modi had already opened their mouths slightly, in their hearts they could not believe how Shen Shenshen interacted with the Prince Zhu whom they admired. This was totally different from the way their own parents interacted with each other, and it was also different from the way the sisters in the mansion interacted with their husbands.
Just... unique?!
No one noticed that in a room on the second floor, Zhu Chutang was standing by the balcony railing, staring at everything on the first floor. When he saw Shen Shenshen following Zhu Yanxiao up to the second floor, he sneered, "Humph, a fickle woman. It seems that I have no chance today. No matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Zhuqing, what are you looking at? Come and have some tea." Hu Jiaxiu's voice came from behind him.
"Nothing." He turned around and smiled darkly, which was very creepy: "After drinking tea, we will go to the Jiaofangsi?"
Qiao Shaoyu cried when he heard this: "I don't have any money. I have spent a lot of money to please Miss Hongzhu recently."
Zhou Yiran said sadly: "You are all so lucky that you can spend money on a woman. Even if this young master wants to spend money, she doesn't even have to."
"Changan, are you still thinking about Miss Shen Er?" Qiao Shaoyu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Forget it, she won't be yours."
Zhu Chutang walked into the room and sat down, and asked angrily, "Are you going to the Jiaofangsi or not?"
"Go, go, go. With a beauty in my arms, how can I not go? But Zhuqing, lend me two taels of silver first, and I will return it to you when I have the money."
Hu Jiaxiu yelled, "Don't be fooled by Miss Hongzhu."
"I am pleased. Lan Ci, please stop interfering in my affairs."
The four of them were arguing, but only Zhu Chutang kept looking towards the second floor.
In another spacious and hidden attic.
Shen Shen followed Zhu Yanxiao, who was in a good mood, into the room and saw a handsome and suave man in his twenties sitting in the room. When the man saw her, his eyes lit up and he smiled to attract women reflexively and greeted her.
"Miss Shen Er."
Zhu Yanxiao frowned, glanced at Master Xie with a warning look, and said to Shen Shen: "Xie Wang'an."
"Thank you, sir." Shen Shenshen bowed.
"I heard that Miss Shen Er and Ziyuan are engaged?"
"Yes. The engagement letter has been exchanged."
"Alas, what a pity."
"What do you mean, Master Xie?" Shen Shen was puzzled.
"Miss Shen is so pretty, it's a pity for her to marry Ziyuan, a dead face. She should marry me."
"Weichuan." Zhu Yanxiao said coldly.
"Pfft~ Dead face? Hahaha." Shen Shenshen was serious for only a second before his true nature was exposed.
Zhu Yanxiao looked at her and glanced at her. The statue of Shenshen was paused and returned to its bright and dignified appearance: "Ahem. I just heard Mr. Xie call himself this official. I wonder if it is..."
"Oh, Weichuan is serving as a junior teacher in the court."
Shen Shen couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she heard this. Her boyfriend was the prince of the Dongxiang Prince's Mansion, and his circle of friends was really amazing. Then she thought about her future as the wife of a powerful official, and felt that she was doing really well.
"It turns out to be Master Xie, who holds a high position. I am so sorry for my disrespect."
"Weichuan, this prince wants to send Shenshen back home, please feel free to do as you please." Zhu Yanxiao interrupted their greetings.
"Ziyuan, we have only been here for a short while. Just one cup of tea. Please invite Miss Shen Er to have a cup of tea before leaving."
Zhu Yanxiao was about to refuse when he felt his hairband being gently pulled by Shen Shen. He guessed that Shen Shen didn't want to go back home too early and was asking him to do so. However, they hadn't enjoyed themselves for five days, and Prince Zhu was free so he went back to Qinghua Garden. Forget it, the night was long, so he would satisfy her little request first and punish her at night.
"also may."
Zhu Yanxiao and Shen Shenshen sat on one side, and they sat opposite Master Xie.
The maid who was only responsible for serving in this pavilion came into the room and replaced the teacups and tea for the three people.
"Thank you, Master. It's the first time we meet. I'd like to offer you tea instead of wine." She opened the lid of the tea and took a sip.
"Haha, Miss Shen's words are quite original. I'll take a sip too." After taking a sip, Master Xie said, "Miss Shen can just call Weichuan."
"Weichuan can also call on the gods."
Zhu Yanxiao listened silently at the side without saying a word.
"Forgive Weichuan for being so abrupt. The Marquis had invited Weichuan to a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion before, and I had seen Shenshen from afar a few times. The Shenshen I saw today was completely different from the one I had seen before. There must be something that Weichuan didn't know."
The man smiled gently and seemed harmless, but every word he asked was full of temptation.
Shen Shenshen smiled calmly and said, "How long ago did Weichuan meet Shenshen?"
"It's midsummer this year."
"No wonder. Shenshen Yu Qiaoyue had an accident in the mansion. After a near-death experience, she finally came to her senses. Not to mention Weichuan, even Ziyuan originally didn't look at Shenshen straight in the eye. It was only after Shenshen worked hard to change that she became the Crown Prince's Consort. In Shenshen's opinion, all men look at looks, and Ziyuan and Weichuan are no exception, right?"
After Shen Shenshen revealed the truth, Zhu Yanxiao and Xie Wangan were speechless for a moment.
"It's okay. Everyone loves beauty. Shenshen not only understands, but also follows the trend. Otherwise, you will miss my Ziyuan."
"My Ziyuan? Hahaha, it seems that Shenshen likes Ziyuan very much."
"Yeah. I like it very much."
Shen Shenshen looked into Zhu Yanxiao's eyes with curved eyebrows and answered in an extremely affirmative tone.
Zhu Yanxiao looked back at her and smiled beautifully.
Master Xie was very uncomfortable with Shen Shenshen's sudden expression of love for Zhu Yanxiao. He had never met a woman who spoke so directly and boldly: "Ahem, you two, I am still in the room."
Zhu Yanxiao glanced at him, his eyes full of: It's you who don't know what's good for you. "Goodbye." He took Shen Shenshen's hand and stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute." Xie Wang'an didn't feel rude at all and smiled at the two of them.
"God, Zhou Yunxi's face must have been scratched by someone in revenge for you, right?"
The two people who were about to go out stopped in their tracks, and Shen Shenshen turned to look at the man sitting there.
"I guess... that person is Mu Yejun?"
