"Marriage is a major event in life. My brother is ignorant and always causes trouble for Daddy, but he can't delay Second Miss Yun's engagement because of a momentary angry remark..."
When Liu Hanyan said this, her fingers gripping the silk handkerchief tightened.
A wry smile appeared on that beautiful face, and she said softly, "I'd like to ask you to come forward and explain."
"I heard that Second Miss Yun has been crying and trying to commit suicide recently. I guess she doesn't like my brother. A forced melon won't be sweet..."
"A forced melon isn't sweet, but it quenches your thirst!"
Li Shengyi looked at Liu Hanyan with an awkward look in his eyes. "Besides, marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, and it's only for the benefit of the family."
"Before being betrothed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Sister Liu probably hadn't even met him a few times. Do you fully understand his true personality and hobbies?"
"Since even Sister Liu doesn't understand His Royal Highness, how can she possibly like him? Could it be that Sister Liu is also going to break off the engagement with His Royal Highness?"
After he finished speaking, a soft sigh suddenly rang out from the main hall where silver charcoal was burning.
"It's not that I don't want to come forward to explain, but quite a few people saw it that day. It was Master Liu who said he wanted to marry Miss Yun."
"If I come forward to explain, what will become of Second Miss Yun's reputation in the future? Young Master Liu will discuss marriage again. He's treating the engagement as a joke now. Which girl would be willing to marry him in the future?"
Li Shengyi supported his little head with one hand and looked worried when he said this, shaking his head as he spoke.
It seemed as if he was really considering the Taifu Mansion and the Yun Family.
Only she herself and Shen Wangchen who was present knew what she was thinking.
I! Just! Know! She will definitely choose her own reputation over the Taifu Mansion and her brother's.
[Hahahahahaha, I win! Otherwise, why would you say I, Li Shengyi, am so smart? I really am worthy of being someone who has read so many novels and TV dramas about palace fighting and domestic intrigue! Awesome!]
Shen Wangchen listened to the boastful voice of the person in front of him and shook his head and laughed inwardly.
He raised his head and looked at Liu Hanyan, whose eyes were red, perhaps because she was angry or because she really felt wronged.
The latter's mouth turned down, as if he had really been wronged.
But if she told others that she had been wronged in front of a five-year-old child, no one would believe her.
Even if she believed it, the other party would just laugh at her for being useless and unable to argue with a five-year-old child.
Li Shengyi's arm, which was supporting his head, was tired.
She shook her delicate little arms, and after waiting for a long time for Liu Hanyan's answer, she raised her head and her eyes met the other's red eyes.
The expression on her little face was startled, and then she asked in confusion, "Sister Liu, what's wrong?"
"Sister Liu came here today to discuss Master Liu's engagement..."
"Forget it. If Sister Liu insists on asking Shengyi to come forward to explain, then Shengyi will do it."
Liu Hanyan didn't expect that she would take a step back at this time.
You know, if she insists on that statement, I can't continue to insist on her coming forward to explain.
After all, she did come here initially for Liu Jing's marriage, and secretly wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between herself and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
To gain more trust from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
What Li Shengyi said was so reasonable that even though she was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, she was fooled by him and had no way to defend herself.
Now Li Shengyi relaxed and wanted to explain on behalf of Liu Jing.
Liu Hanyan knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so she said softly, "If Shengyi encounters any difficulties in the future, you can always come and find me."
Li Shengyi immediately raised his hand and waved, "No, no, my father's words are more effective than yours, Sister Liu."
“Puff…”
In the main hall, as Li Shengyi finished speaking, Liu Hanyan's expression froze.
And Shen Wangchen, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but chuckle again.
This time, Liu Hanyan no longer looked at Shen Wangchen. She was eager to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Today she had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion secretly to ask Li Shengyi for help.
Now that the other party has nodded in agreement, there is no need for her to stay any longer.
What's more, there was Shen Wangchen in the main hall. As a man, he didn't even try to avoid her and even interrupted her conversation with Li Shengyi several times...
Liu Hanyan left the Prime Minister's Mansion with a frown on her face, and the heavy stone in her heart slowly fell after she stepped into the carriage.
Inside Shuiyunju.
Li Shengyi stood at the door, letting the cold wind blow on his little face, making it red.
Shen Wangchen took the fox fur cloak from Lu Xing and walked forward.
After dropping the cloak on the young master, he heard him ask in a deep voice, "What are you thinking about, young lady?"
Li Shengyi shook his head.
[I was thinking of words. Oh, what are you doing? You've messed up my thoughts since you came here.]
【What did I think of just now? 】
The despised Shen Wangchen: ...
-
When Qin Songmo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a cold look on his face, he happened to catch his youngest daughter getting up after resting.
Silver charcoal was burning in the room, and the whole room was warm like spring.
As soon as Qin Songmo entered the room to check if his little daughter was awake, he saw a small figure sitting on the bed.
When she heard the door open, she immediately opened her sleepy eyes. Seeing that it was him, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her little face, which was flushed from sleep.
"Daddy, you're back."
Qin Songmo still had a cold air about him.
He did not approach immediately, but turned around to open the door and let Lu Xing and the other maids into the room.
Yun Bixin's birthday banquet was held in the evening. Lu Xing specially prepared a light red jacket for the young master. The jacket was embroidered with auspicious clouds and flowers, and the style was very beautiful.
In addition, Li Shengyi has become more voluptuous during this period of time, and his originally yellowish-white skin has now become tender and moist, with a hint of red in the white.
She was wearing a light red jacket and had two small balls hanging on her head, which made her look even more adorable.
Qin Songmo sat outside and waited for a long time, until the coldness in his body was dispelled by the silver charcoal, and until his little daughter, dressed like the little Fuwa in the New Year pictures, ran towards him skipping and jumping.
The cold light in his dark pupils suddenly disappeared, replaced by a gentle expression and a hint of a smile.
He reached out and tucked the hair on his little daughter's temples behind her ears. Before she could speak, he heard Qin Songmo speak in a deep voice.
"While I'm away from home, what good things have you done, huh?"
Li Shengyi never thought of hiding anything from Qin Songmo.
Not to mention her young age, Qin Songmo has served as prime minister for two dynasties, and his mind is as cunning as a beehive. She has no chance of defeating him.
She is still living in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Her every move is probably seen by Qin Songmo. Whatever she wants to do cannot escape his sight.
She wrinkled her nose and whispered, "What can I do? I just did what Sister Liu asked me to do."
