Chapter 131 She accidentally caught a glimpse of him...

The old lady paused when she saw this.

Although Shen Qingnian came from a humble family, she was still a woman who respected rules and regulations, based on her usual behavior.

The old lady was certain that this was Xie Yanzhi's idea, and secretly thought to herself that he was simply being reckless.

How can the General's Mansion save face in this situation?

She glanced at Liu Momo and quickly walked over.

Seeing that the old lady was walking rather hurriedly, Shen Qingnian was about to stand up when Xie Yanzhi grabbed her arm, gesturing for her to sit down.

Shen Qingnian frowned and gestured with his eyes that the old lady had arrived.

Xie Yanzhi, however, did not move at all, but forcefully pulled her, preventing her from getting up.

Just as the two were at an impasse, the old lady arrived.

Seeing this, Li Huiyan pinched the back of her hand, and more tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently held Li Huiyan's hand, her voice full of tenderness: "Miss Li, you've been wronged."

As she spoke, she turned to Shen Qingnian, who was bowing to her, and said sternly, "How can you be so rude? Don't you see that Miss Li from the General's Mansion is here? Hurry up and give her a seat."

Li Huiyan kept her eyes lowered, but a subtle smile curved her lips.

A tear slid down her cheek at just the right moment.

As if not wanting anyone to see her tears, she turned away and dabbed her tears with her handkerchief.

Then she said, "Madam, it was my own fault for not wanting to sit down, so please don't blame her."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yanzhi looked up at Li Huiyan and gave a meaningful smile.

This young lady Li is quite interesting. If she were to enter the Jingnan Marquis's mansion, Shen Qingnian would probably be unable to handle her.

When the old lady heard Li Huiyan say this, and saw that she was clearly very aggrieved, yet she still tried her best to maintain the dignity and composure of a noble lady.

Hearing her still speaking up for Shen Qingnian, her demeanor was quite like that of a matriarch.

He felt even more satisfied with her becoming his granddaughter-in-law.

Shen Qingnian knew, of course, that the old lady was giving her a warning.

The daughter of a general's family was naturally far more noble than the daughter of a merchant from Jiangnan. This young lady Li was not someone of her status, so naturally she had to give up her seat.

Moreover, she is still a maidservant.

Not only should she not sit down, but she should also serve this young lady Li tea and water, fulfilling the duties of a maid.

Shen Qingnian tried to pull her arm out of Xie Yanzhi's grasp, but Xie Yanzhi still wouldn't let go.

Seeing this, the old lady said to Xie Yanzhi, "Yan-ge'er, don't be silly!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yanzhi's lips curled into a deep smile, and he said coldly, "I was the one who made her sit down."

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Qingnian again, his cold eyes filled with deep affection.

"She takes the best care of her grandson's daily life."

“Last night I used my own body to keep my grandson warm and almost caught a cold. I treat her differently from others.”

Upon hearing this, Li Huiyan's delicate expression froze instantly, and she forgot to shed tears.

She never expected that this maid would be living in the same room as Xie Yanzhi.

No wonder he treated her so differently; she was his concubine. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't be so close.

Her eyes were fixed intently on Shen Qingnian's ethereal face.

I never imagined that this girl, who looks so pretty, would be so filthy at heart, climbing into her master's bed in the middle of the night!

Upon hearing this, the old lady's pupils dilated. Didn't Shen Qingnian publicly reject Yan Ge'er? How come she'd already slept with him?

And there's Yan Ge'er! Li Xiao Niangzi is still here, and Yan Ge'er just told her all these things right in front of her.

How could the young lady possibly bear this?

For Li Xiaoniangzi, this was an utter disgrace!

Shen Qingnian suddenly looked at Xie Yanzhi, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

She desperately wanted to question him about whether he knew what he was saying.

When did she ever use her body to warm him?

His words not only humiliated her but also put her in the spotlight, making her a thorn in everyone's side!

She couldn't even imagine how cold the old lady and that young lady Li were looking at her right now!

She lowered her head dejectedly and said, "Your Highness, last night I only warmed the bed for a while before you returned to the manor."

"It is all my duty as a servant, and I dare not trouble the young master to treat me differently."

Upon hearing Shen Qingnian's words, both Li Huiyan and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

So that's how it is. Xie Yanzhi's words were indeed misunderstood.

Fortunately, Shen Qingnian was sensible and knew how to cover for Yan Ge'er.

They indulged Yan Ge'er's temperament.

Li Huiyan was quite satisfied with Shen Qingnian's indirect explanation.

This girl is good at judging situations and knows how to comfort her.

Later, once she moves into Xie Yanzhi's courtyard, we can still find her a decent servant.

Xie Yanzhi stood up at this moment and directly grasped Shen Qingnian's hand: "Then I remembered it wrong."

Shen Qingnian nodded after hearing this. She finally felt a little better.

Xie Yanzhi finally stopped talking nonsense and ruining her reputation.

The situation with the old lady and Miss Li has been calmed down.

"It must be because you almost caught a cold when you and I bathed together last time."

Shen Qingnian's face froze for a moment.

Was she bathing with him last time?

She remembered, it was in Yunzhou, the night she knelt down and begged him!

She woke up to find herself soaking in the bathtub with him.

She even accidentally caught a glimpse of him...

Shen Qingnian's face flushed red and then turned pale; she was both ashamed and angry.

Xie Yanzhi is absolutely shameless!

She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only stand there with her head down, hoping that a hole would grow in the ground so she could crawl into it.

Xie Yanzhi saw her expression clearly, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Judging from her slightly flushed cheeks, she must have remembered.

Seeing Shen Qingnian's changing expressions, the old lady and Li Huiyan understood what was going on.

What Xie Yanzhi said this time is probably true.

Li Huiyan felt both angry and ashamed.

The two of them even did something so intimate.

How could Xie Yanzhi allow such a girl to defile his body?

He was clearly hers, yet he treated her with the indifference of a block of ice.

Li Huiyan gently bit her lip and looked at Shen Qingnian's figure.

She's full where she should be, and soft where she should be. She truly has a beautifully curvaceous figure!

She admitted that her figure was only slightly inferior to hers.

One day, she will use her tenderness to melt his icy heart.

Let Xie Yanzhi know what true perfection is.

Hearing Xie Yanzhi's words, the old lady felt that she was about to lose face.

She secretly resented Shen Qingnian for being shameless.

Now that you've had physical intimacy with Yan-ge'er, why pretend to be so high and mighty!

But for now, we need to appease Lady Li first.

Seeing that Xie Yanzhi was still holding Shen Qingnian's hand, the old lady thought to herself that it would be difficult for Miss Li to get through today.

She then said to Li Huiyan, "Miss Li, why don't you come with me to visit the Red Sleeve Manor nearby?"

The old lady's legs have been a little sore lately. She had originally planned to go to Hongxiu Mountain Villa to soak her feet in the hot spring water after worshipping Buddha today.

Li Huiyan didn't want to go, but the old lady invited her to come and worship Buddha today so that she could spend more time with Xie Yanzhi.

Now that she's being called away again, how is she supposed to get along with Xie Yanzhi?
