Hahahaha.
Jun Xiaoqiao burst into laughter at the lively scene.
I didn't expect Cen Xi to still be so funny; even when he bullies people, it's so satisfying to watch.
In fact, after she entered the palace, she had already asked him and Zhu Yanniang to investigate the Shen family. So she naturally knew that all the sisters in the Shen family were in love with Shen Jinchen, including the most righteous Shen Qinghua just now.
So she got up very early to watch this good show.
As expected, Cen Xi was still the same Cen Xi as before, flamboyant and fierce. Shen Qingying was clearly no match for him.
Now that she was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, Jun Xiaoqiao felt that within three moves, she would definitely be tied up like a pretzel and thrown into the artificial lake not far away.
Sure enough, just as she counted to three, she heard a splash from the artificial lake not far away.
"Come on, all of you come at me together. It's been a long time since we've had a good fight. If you don't want to eat at the banquet, then go drink some water."
Cen Xi naturally knew these people, but they were determined to provoke her, so she didn't prepare a single gift.
Today, let Shen Jinchen see what it means to cook dumplings.
Don't think that she'll get jealous just because you brought his sister along; she's not someone to be trifled with.
"Do you need my help?"
Jun Xiaoqiao glanced at Cen Xi and asked with a gloating look.
"Get out of my sight. I wouldn't even look at your amateurish work."
Cen Xi glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao, who was watching the commotion, then raised her whip and walked towards the group of pampered young ladies.
"No, no, Princess, please don't hit us! We didn't say or do anything. It was Shen Qingying and Shen Qinghua who instigated us. Please spare our lives!"
As Cen Xi approached step by step, a little girl finally spoke up, her voice trembling.
Cen Xi looked at her; she was probably only eleven or twelve years old. He couldn't help but pull her up and look her up and down.
"You like your Jinchen brother too?"
"No, I don't like it. They forced me to come."
The little girl looked at Cen Xi with a fearful gaze.
"Alright, I can let you go, but you must tell me who else inside doesn't want to marry Brother Jinchen, and who else is like you?"
Cen Xi looked at her with a smile and asked.
"Yes, there's also Qingyu, she's only nine years old and doesn't know anything yet."
The girl's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going to be let go.
Cen Xi followed the hand she pointed to, looked at the little girl named Qingyu, and immediately thought of Xiaoyu, so she nodded casually.
"Okay! You two go!"
Cen Xi never liked to involve innocent people. These two girls didn't want to cause trouble for her, so she didn't want to cause trouble for them either, and that's why she let them go.
"Alright, those who stayed behind are all looking to cause me trouble. Now, you can all follow that Shen Qingying and jump into the water. Are you going to jump by yourselves, or will I use whips to drag you there?"
Cen Xi looked at the several girls who remained, cracked his whip, and asked.
"You can't treat us like this, Brother Jinchen won't forgive you."
As soon as Cen Xi finished speaking, another girl spoke up unwillingly.
"I hope they won't let me off the hook!"
Cen Xi had long wanted to break up with Shen Jinchen, and today was the perfect opportunity.
She originally intended to do something so bad that Shen Jinchen couldn't stand it anymore, so what was she afraid of?
"Your Highness, my daughter was unruly and offended you. Please be magnanimous and spare their lives."
Just as Cen Xi was about to lash out again, Shen Jinchen arrived with Shen Youji. Upon seeing Cen Xi's anger, Shen Youji readily apologized.
"Oh, General Shen has arrived. If you ask me, your backyard should at least have a mistress, otherwise with so many concubines, it'll be impossible to keep up with the chaos."
Cen Xi put away the whip, returned to the main seat in the flower hall, and couldn't help but start scolding people.
"Fengqin, go! Go and fish Qingying out of the lake."
Seeing that Cen Xi had vented her anger enough, Shen Jinchen turned to Feng Qin, who was standing to the side, and said something.
“What the princess says is true. But after Jinchen’s mother passed away, I never had any intention of getting married again. I am very sorry for the trouble I caused the princess today. Rest assured, they will not come to the princess’s residence to bother the princess again.”
Shen Jinchen smiled, and although he was saying these apologetic words, his demeanor was extraordinary and hard to ignore.
"Very well, then it's settled. It's not that I'm being disrespectful at today's banquet, but I simply couldn't stand it anymore. It's all because you've given birth to too many daughters, and they all want to covet my husband. I had no choice but to take action. Please forgive me, General."
Seeing that the other party was so understanding, Cen Xi naturally felt she should also apologize politely.
“The princess is right.”
Shen Youji glanced at Shen Jinchen and nodded with a smile.
"Since the princess does not like this banquet, then I will escort my father back to the manor."
Shen Jinchen gave Cen Xi a meaningful look, then turned around and helped General Shen to walk out.
Cen Xi had a strange feeling that Shen Jinchen must be angry, and probably because he was blaming her for not giving the Shen family any face.
"The Prime Minister has fulfilled his promise to me."
Seeing that Shen Jinchen and Cen Xi might have a falling out, Jun Xiaoqiao hurriedly asked about the matter she was concerned about.
Sigh, you can't blame her. Everyone looks out for themselves. She just fell for a man; when it comes to men, best friends naturally take a backseat.
"Wen Qiheng broke off the engagement last night. His fiancée has found another man, and he discovered it last night. Girl, if you go now, you might be able to take advantage of the situation."
Shen Jinchen glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao and said indifferently.
"Good! Excellent! It was worth it for me to do business with the Prime Minister. If there is a similar cooperation in the future, Prime Minister Shen, please remember to contact me again."
Jun Xiaoqiao glanced at Cen Xi, then smiled and winked at Shen Jinchen.
"Of course, of course!"
Shen Jinchen responded, and without even glancing at Cen Xi, turned around and helped General Shen out.
Cen Xi didn't care about Shen Jinchen's attitude, but she did care about Jun Xiaoqiao's deal with Shen Jinchen. She instinctively felt it was related to her, so she grabbed Jun Xiaoqiao, who was about to run away, and asked:
What did you trade with him?
"It's nothing, I just want your man to help me break off a marriage. I have to say, your man is really capable, he can do it in three days. Alright, I won't stop you from being pretentious at the princess's mansion, I'm going to pursue my man too. To be honest, the man I've set my sights on is just as handsome as your man."
Jun Xiaoqiao gave an explanation, then gave Cen Xi a series of inscrutable looks before preparing to leave.
Cen Xi wasn't about to let her off so easily, so he grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.
What are you going to do?
Jun Xiaoqiao was in a good mood when Cen Xi suddenly grabbed her, which made her a little annoyed.
"Did you sell me some information?"
Cen Xi's eyes were resolute. She knew Jun Xiaoqiao's character all too well, and she also knew Shen Jinchen's nature all too well, so it was absolutely impossible for her not to be involved in their deal.
