Jiang Xuanyan walked over with a gloomy voice, followed by the nonchalant Pei Yunchu.

Jiang Qingyi was annoyed. How could she have forgotten the important matter? She wondered how much of what had just happened had Ah Yan seen?

"Ayan, listen to me, things are not what you think. It's her, it's...??? How could she... How is it possible?"

Everyone followed her gaze and saw Shen Ningzhu kneeling on the ground with most of her hair loose and her lipstick smeared everywhere.

The exquisite fox eyes were wet, filled with tears.

The whole person was weak and half-lying on the ground. When he saw Jiang Xuanyan appear, he cried out "Wow" and threw himself into Jiang Xuanyan's arms. Jiang Xuanyan vs. Chen Ningzhu Illustration hugged his waist tightly, leaning weakly on his chest, his shoulders heaving, sobbing and sobbing.

"Brother Yan, you are finally here, woo woo woo~~~"

Jiang Xuanyan frowned fiercely and pulled her away without mercy, "Stand still for me."

How can you pull and tug in public?

Unexpectedly, Shen Ningzhu was like a dog-skin plaster. She just opened it and covered her head again. She suddenly rushed into his arms and quickly hugged him back. The force was so great that Jiang Xuanyan couldn't help but take a step back before he could stabilize his body.

Suddenly, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Pei Yunchu was also stunned, and glanced at Jiang Xuanyan with a curious look: What tricks is this woman playing?

Jiang Xuanyan glared at him coldly.

Pei Yunchu: Are you going to protect her already? He even said he had no interest in her, what a hypocrite. He twitched the corner of his mouth and stood up straight without saying anything, just watching the show from the side.

"Ayan, don't listen to her nonsense."

Jiang Qingyi frowned and opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Ningzhu.

"Princess, wuwuwu~~~ What did my sister do wrong to make you bully me like this?"

"You said you were the future Crown Princess and told me not to be so foolish as to compete with you. I felt that I was of low status and unworthy of Brother Yan, so I agreed."

"I even promised you that I only have Brother Yan in my heart. As long as I can stay by his side, I don't care about status or anything like that. Why are you still not willing to let me go? Wuwuwu..."

Jiang Qingyi: ...

"Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? When did this princess..."

Jiang Qingyi was speechless for a moment, her chest heaving with anger, and she almost fainted.

This bitch actually turned the tables and pretended to be pitiful in order to win A Yan's sympathy?

It was clearly she who slapped her, but she was the first to complain. She is really vicious.

"Ayan, don't listen to her. She was clearly the one who committed the crime of insubordination and slapped me a few times for no reason. That's why I wanted to teach her a lesson and teach her some manners so that she won't cause trouble for you in the future. I didn't mean any other harm, so don't get me wrong."

Jiang Xuanyan looked at Shen Ningzhu.

"Is what the princess said true?"

Chen Ningzhu snuggled in his arms softly and obediently, shaking her head aggrievedly.

"Oh? Then tell me what happened?"

Shen Ningzhu sniffed and blinked her innocent fox eyes, "My princess, you must have misunderstood. How could you think of me like that? There was clearly just a mosquito, and I was afraid it would bite you, so I helped you drive it away."

Jiang Qingyi was so angry that she trembled when she heard this.

"Slap a mosquito! Where did that mosquito come from? Do you think I'm a fool? Besides, does it take that much force to slap a mosquito?"

Then he looked at Zhi'er who was also covering her face, and pointed his finger at her angrily, "You're swatting a mosquito for me, but what about her? Is there a mosquito around my maid too?"

Chen Ningzhu nodded seriously.

"Of course, your maid is standing right next to you, so the mosquito will bite her too!"

Jiang Qingyi held back a breath of air in her chest and sneered, “Miss Shen is really tolerant towards the servants.”

This may sound insignificant, but it is extremely ironic when applied to Shen Ningzhu. Who in the capital doesn't know that the original owner is arrogant and vicious, never treating others as human beings, and often beating and punishing servants?

Jiang Xuanyan frowned as expected.

He reached out again to try to push her away, but she was holding him too tightly. Her thin arms burst out with endless strength, almost strangling him to the point of giving him a stitch in the side.

"release."

"Brother Yan, don't you believe me?"

Jiang Xuanyan looked at her deeply, and there seemed to be flashes of lightning hidden in his dark and bright eyes. Every flash was as sharp as a knife, as if it could easily see through the secrets in her heart. He looked at her with a warning look.

“Chen Ningzhu, this matter ends here.”

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Qingyi, "Princess, please don't blame me. It was my people who were ignorant and offended you. I believe she did not mean to do so, so I apologize to you on her behalf."

"I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and let this matter go for my sake."

"It's the height of summer now, and the sun is scorching outside. If you have nothing else to do, Princess, please return to your own courtyard and be careful not to get too hot. By the way, I've already sent someone to repair the Princess's Mansion."

"It will probably be repaired soon. By then, the princess can move back."

Shen Ningzhu's eyes moved slightly.

He actually called himself "I" in front of Jiang Qingyi instead of "Gu"? It seems that these two people are indeed closely related.

Jiang Qingyi's face was full of disbelief and a little embarrassed, and she was almost unable to maintain her dignity.

Is he driving her away?

In the past, he always protected her in front of outsiders, openly showing partiality. She remembered that she had laughed at him then. As the crown prince of a country, how could he be so unfair?

He said at the time that he would help his relatives and not the people.

But today, he used the same method to wrong her for another woman?

And these words, seemingly every word was for her benefit, but in fact they were indifferent and distant, drawing a clear line between them and her.

Jiang Qingyi felt bitter and unbearable, but she also understood that this matter could not be rushed and could only be done slowly.

"No, I only did this for you..."

"My princess, you're worrying too much. It's only natural for a woman like the Crown Prince to be a little arrogant. Even if things get tough, I can still protect her."

“…”

Talking any further would only embarrass herself, so Jiang Qingyi had no choice but to force a gentle smile, bowed to him, and left with her maid.

Pei Yunchu took a look at the situation, his eyes rolled, and he took advantage of the situation and sneaked away to find Liu Zhiyi.

The maid in the pavilion also tactfully left.

For a moment, Jiang Xuanyan and Shen Ningzhu were the only two people left at the scene.

"Ahem, why don't you let go?"

"Oh, okay."

Shen Ningzhu quickly withdrew from his arms and distanced herself from him. Jiang Xuanyan looked at her skillful movements, frowning, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

Inadvertently, his eyes fell on the sewing basket on the table, "What are you doing?"

As he spoke, he walked forward, picked up the bracelet that Chen Ningzhu had previously woven, and looked at it back and forth, "Is this... a bracelet? You woven it, who are you planning to give it to?"
