Chapter 67 Shen Pingjin personally went to find Yan Jue

Nian'an finished speaking angrily, but seeing that her princess had no expression at all, she was somewhat shocked. "Princess, aren't you angry when you hear these words?!"

Shen Pingjin said indifferently, "Why should I be angry? Our marriage was an accident. What he does is none of my business."

Nian'an was stunned by those words.

Shen Pingjin came to a realization. At first, she felt that since she had been reborn, her first priority should be revenge. But later she realized that instead of harboring hatred, she should improve herself and become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can she better protect those who died for her in her previous life.

Shen Pingjin said, "Nian'an, I don't care. Come and help. The blueprints that Young Master Qin gave us are easy to understand. Maybe we can make this barbecue grill this afternoon."

Nian'an pursed her lips. Although she still felt indignant for Shen Pingjin, she still walked forward to help Shen Pingjin after hearing these words.

However, it wouldn't be accurate to say that Shen Pingjin felt nothing at all. At this moment, an idea silently began to form in her mind...

Nian Ning looked at Nian An beside her and said, "Nian An, this is a matter between the Princess and His Highness the Regent. We shouldn't get involved. If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, it might be difficult to resolve."

"Oh, Nianning, you should know that we've watched Miss grow up since she was little. If she's bullied, I'll be angry for her, there's nothing I can do about it."

Nian Ning knew Nian An's personality. "Alright, alright, Nian An, I know what you're thinking. You're just upset, but look, the Princess doesn't seem to care. Since the Princess doesn't care, then we shouldn't care either. Otherwise, if the Princess keeps seeing us nagging, she might think we're worrying too much."

Upon hearing this, Nian'an sighed, "Nian Ning, I know what you said is right, but..."

"Oh, Nian'an, stop with the 'buts'! Let's hurry up and help Miss set up the frame!"

"All right."

The barbecue instructions provided by Li Qin'er were very comprehensive and detailed. Although Shen Pingjin had never been exposed to this before, she could still follow the steps in the instructions to make a rough version.

The sun slowly sank from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, and the scorching sunlight disappeared at the foot of the mountain as it moved. Chen Pingjin, panting, wiped the sweat from her head with a handkerchief, and then handed two other handkerchiefs she carried with her to Nian An and Nian Ning behind her.

"Your Highness, do we consider this a success?"

Looking at the base made of bricks and the poles made of iron rods in front of her, Shen Pingjin clapped her hands and said, "This should be considered a great success."

Nian'an asked, "Then what's the point of making this?"

Only Shen Pingjin saw the blueprints that Li Qin'er gave her, so the other two didn't know what the finished product was for.

Chen Pingjin said, "This novel gadget was told to me by Young Master Qin. As for how to use it, he still needs to come to the courtyard in person to figure it out completely."

Nian'an and Nian Ning nodded thoughtfully, indicating that they understood.

Setting up the barbecue grill was hard work, and since most of them were delicate girls, they were all exhausted. Shen Pingjin told them to take a break, and then she went to rest on a chair nearby.

At the same time, she was also thinking about how she should tell Yan Jue what was on her mind that night.

-

At this moment, Yan Jue was still sitting in the study with Wen Xicha. It seemed that because of Yan Jue's deliberate reply, the atmosphere between the two became more and more relaxed.

After taking a bath and washing up, Shen Pingjin walked to Yan Jue's study feeling refreshed.

Ye Ting, who was drowsy and obediently following Yan Jue's orders, was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps. When he saw that the person walking towards him was Shen Pingjin, his whole body trembled.

Shen Pingjin took in Ye Ting's reaction and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Ye Ting, did my sudden appearance startle you?"

Ye Ting snapped out of his daze, inwardly scolding himself for not daring to do so, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me, I just..."

Shen Pingjin interrupted Ye Ting directly, "No need to explain, just tell me, is Yan Jue in the study or not?"

Ye Ting was taken aback. Had the sun risen in the west? Shen Pingjin actually wanted to see his master about something?

Although he preferred Miss Wen, there was nothing he could do; his master favored Chen Pingjin.

Ye Ting said, "My master is inside, but..."

Damn it, this is the second time he's been forced to confront Shen Pingjin and reveal that his master and Miss Wen are inside?

Under Shen Pingjin's somewhat puzzled gaze, Ye Ting still spoke up, "Your Highness, the master is currently discussing matters with Miss Wen inside."

Shen Pingjin was stunned. She had come to the front hall tonight to find Yan Jue, but it turned out that Yan Jue was with this Miss Wen.

Shen Pingjin was not unfamiliar with this Miss Wen. She remembered that Miss Wen was the eldest daughter of the current Lord Wen. She was well-educated, gentle in appearance, and very intelligent.

only……

Shen Pingjin's gaze suddenly turned dangerous.

In his previous life, Yan Jue married Shen Ruixue, but after they fell out and divorced, Yan Jue immediately married Wen Xicha.

In her previous life, she had no interaction with Yan Jue, and therefore no connection with Wen Xicha. In this life, she is Yan Jue's wife, and Wen Xicha is in love with Yan Jue. Shen Pingjin guessed that Wen Xicha might make things difficult for her.

The well-educated and gentle Miss Shen Pingjin actually felt a bit of anticipation when she met the wife whom her beloved had married through proper channels.

Shen Pingjin's eyes flickered, but her tone remained calm: "You mean Yan Jue is inside discussing matters with Miss Wen?"

Ye Ting looked at Shen Pingjin's increasingly gloomy gaze and couldn't help but shrink back. This... are women this frightening when they're fighting over a man?

Ye Ting nodded vigorously.

Shen Pingjin took in his every move. She stepped forward, her steps graceful and elegant. "He and Miss Wen are discussing matters inside. What does that have to do with me now seeking him out for a meeting?"

Ye Ting was stunned. My goodness, this is incredibly important! There's only one regent!

Shen Pingjin didn't care about any of that. She walked straight to the study door, stretched out her slender, white hand, and with a creak, the door was slowly pushed open, making a sound that made people feel a little irritated.

Yan Jue and Wen Xicha were chatting about some interesting things that had happened recently when they saw the door suddenly open. They stopped talking and looked towards the doorway.

The woman wore a moon-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a crescent-shaped openwork long robe over it. She had a delicate nose and red lips, and her eyebrows were painted with fine powder. Her eyes, shimmering with light, were as dazzling as snowflakes falling from the sky at midnight in winter.
