Chapter 35 Did the Crown Prince bully you?
"Your subject pays respects to the Crown Princess."
The man knelt on the ground, his attitude respectful.
"elder brother!"
Shen Ruoli rushed forward and pulled Shen Rufeng up. "What are you doing, brother? Are you really going to distance yourself from your sister?"
Shen Rufeng smiled warmly and explained gently, "Rules must not be broken."
Even so, he couldn't resist reaching out and gently rubbing her head. "You've lost so much weight in all this time?"
Waaaaah, my brother still loves her the most!
You can tell at a glance that she's lost weight!
Since her rebirth, Shen Ruoli has been unable to eat or sleep properly.
Like Xie Xuanyin, she also became a "bird startled by the twang of a bow".
They feared their food would be poisoned, or that they would be stabbed to death while they were still asleep.
In addition, he was determined to take revenge and also wanted to compensate Xie Xuanyin, a capricious and difficult person to please.
During this period, Shen Ruoli lived in constant fear and anxiety.
Only now that she has seen Shen Rufeng, does she completely relax.
"well."
Shen Ruoli sighed, "They say a broad mind leads to a healthy body, but I've probably been carrying too many things on my mind lately."
Before Shen Rufeng could speak, she circled him again. "Brother said I've lost weight! It's because I have something on my mind, plus there are so many rules in the palace. How could you have lost so much weight, brother?"
As she spoke, Shen Ruoli tugged at Shen Rufeng's wide sleeve, "Look, there's enough room for me to fit inside!"
Shen Rufeng was amused by her.
Although everyone felt that Shen Ruoli was not easy to approach, and was aloof and arrogant.
But in his eyes, she was still the chubby, cute little sister he knew when they were children.
Look, he can still joke with me, so how is he hard to approach?
Recalling the rumors he had heard about Shen Ruoli these past few days, and her words just now, "There are many rules in the palace," Shen Rufeng's expression gradually became serious.
“Sister, if you are not comfortable living in the palace, why not return to your residence for a while?”
He looked at her with heartache, "Even though you are now the Crown Princess, there is no rule that prevents the Crown Princess from returning to her parents' home, is there?"
Upon hearing Shen Ruoli's words, his first reaction was: The Crown Prince must have bullied his sister!
Otherwise, why would my sister, who grew up in the palace and never found the palace rules too numerous, be unhappy after marrying him?
"Is it that the Crown Prince treats you badly, or... has the Prince of Chu bullied you?"
Chen Rufeng lowered his voice.
"elder brother!"
Startled, Shen Ruoli quickly covered his mouth.
Walls have ears!
Regardless of whether there's a wall separating them or not, Xie Xuanyin's men are standing right outside the door!
If Xie Xuanyin heard these words, I'm afraid that scoundrel would get angry again!
"Brother, no."
Shen Ruoli shook her head and explained, "I just feel that after getting married, I'm no longer a little girl! There are a lot of worries, so I'm not as carefree and happy as before."
"really?"
Shen Rufeng did not believe it.
See!
The Crown Prince must be mistreating his sister!
This Crown Prince's residence is run by the Crown Prince.
He must have been bullying his sister behind closed doors, and he wouldn't even let her tell on him!
My younger sister used to be such a spirited little girl, she didn't even put the Crown Prince in her eyes.
Just now, when he mentioned the Crown Prince, his sister was so frightened that she covered his mouth!
Shen Rufeng frowned.
He was originally gentle and mild-mannered.
His tightly furrowed brows, however, gave him a somewhat gloomy appearance.
"Is the Crown Prince good to you?"
"I'm fine."
Shen Ruoli smiled and sat down opposite him.
"Then, what did the King of Chu do to you?"
Shen Rufeng's gaze was serious.
The King of Chu must have bullied his sister!
How dare he bully his sister!
Do they really think the Shen family has no one to rely on?!
"right!"
Shen Ruoli wanted to deny it.
But then she thought about it again. Xie Xuanyin was unpredictable and moody. Although he agreed to the deal, he would sometimes go crazy... He was an extremely unstable and uncontrollable factor.
It's definitely not enough for her to get revenge on Xie Xuansong on her own.
Moreover, Qingying's situation this time was largely thanks to her brother's help!
Even if she doesn't say anything, her brother will definitely find out soon that she and Xie Xuansong have completely fallen out.
Rather than worrying my brother unnecessarily, I'd rather tell the truth!
"Brother, I only now realize that Xie Xuansong has been lying to me all along!"
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Shen Ruoli choked up, "I originally thought he was sincere towards me, so I was devoted to him for the past few years! I even humbled myself and lost myself for him, just so he would look at me once more!"
"But brother, you saw it too. Not only did he not marry me, he even married Song Xuerou!"
Shen Rufeng naturally knew Song Xuerou as well.
The Shen and Song families are both century-old families in the capital, and Song Xuerou was once Shen Ruoli's close friend.
Shen Rufeng doted on his younger sister and once regarded Song Xuerou as his younger sister as well.
Because she has a sweet tongue.
Every time I see him, I sweetly call him "Brother Rufeng".
Unexpectedly, Xie Xuansong married Song Xuerou overnight!
Shen Ruoli was devastated and nearly did something foolish several times!
During those times, Shen Rufeng was always by her side, so he naturally knew how much pain she was in.
"I always thought about our past relationship, so I kept hoping for more. But now I realize he was just using me! Brother, do you think I can still trust a man like that?"
"Of course not!"
Shen Rufeng slammed his hand on the table, startling Shen Ruoli so much that she shuddered.
Aside from the day Xie Xuansong and Song Xuerou got married, when her brother stood up for him, this was the first time she had ever seen Shen Rufeng lose his temper.
Just when she thought Shen Rufeng was rebuking Xie Xuansong, her brother said, "Because you are now the Crown Princess! You have married the Crown Prince! Of course you shouldn't be thinking about the Prince of Chu anymore!"
Shen Ruoli: "...Brother is right."
“But the King of Chu and Song Xuerou have treated you this way, and our Shen family cannot sit idly by.”
Shen Rufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Father advised me before not to make a big fuss about this. First, we can't afford to break ties with the Chu Prince's Mansion; second, we can't put you and the Crown Prince in a difficult position."
"Besides, if this matter escalates, you, as a girl, will ultimately suffer. I think Father is right."
Therefore, he tolerated Xie Xuansong for a time.
But now that his sister has finally come to her senses, Shen Rufeng is no longer going to hold back!
"Ziyan has already stayed at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and Qingying will probably be sent back to the capital today! Since the Prince of Chu doesn't take our Shen family seriously at all, sister, this time your brother will definitely avenge you!"
"With my brother here, I can rest assured."
Speaking of Ziyan, Shen Ruoli still felt uneasy.
Xie Xuansong may appear gentle and refined, but he is actually a devil in human skin!
His paranoia is no less than Xie Xuanyin's!
"Brother, will Xie Xuansong have noticed anything about that girl Ziyan?"
"Don't worry."
Knowing her concerns, Shen Rufeng smiled slightly, "Ziyan can transform into anyone in this world! You'll just have to wait and see what she's capable of!"
Seeing his confidence in Ziyan, Shen Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.
She naturally had no doubts about her brother's words.
The brother and sister were catching up when Leap Moon hurried in.
"Princess!"
She paused, her gaze gradually turning somber. "Qingying has returned to the capital."
