This time, she would never believe him again no matter what.
After leaving the house, Shen Ruyi let Shen Luo pull her into the carriage and told Fang Fei, "Since my second brother said he would treat me to a meal, then you can wait for me over there."
Then he threw a piece of silver to her and said, "It's cold outside, go in and wait."
"I will go right away."
Fangfei took the change and hurried to Zuixinlou.
"Isn't it enough for me to go? Why make her wait?" Shen Luo saw that Shen Ruyi's attention was always on him, and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, "I am not as good as a maid?"
"She can't compare with the third brother."
Shen Ruyi came back to her senses, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Why should Third Brother be jealous of a little maid?"
Shen Luo was one of the executioners who killed her in her previous life.
Fangfei was the little maid who was implicated by her and died tragically.
Nature is very different.
Shen Luo didn't know what she meant. He snorted and said, "You're smart. I'm the master and she's the servant. I'm your third brother and she's an outsider."
"Third brother is right."
Shen Ruyi answered casually.
Finally, Shen Luo said: "I will take the amulet back and return it to you. If you dare to lose it again, I will break your legs!"
When Shen Ruyi turned around, he was looking out the window awkwardly, as if he didn't want to admit his feelings.
Shen Ruyi didn't say anything, just remained silent.
Speaking of which, at the end of her previous life, she still couldn't fully figure out what kind of person Shen Luo was. His emotions were really unstable.
In this life, she was too lazy to think about it.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Luo felt that the silence in the car was a little unbearable, so he said, "In a few days, your fourth and fifth brothers will also be back. What do you want? I will tell them when I write to them."
"No."
Shen Ruyi refused, and the conversation died down again.
"How can you be like this! I tolerate your rudeness towards me, after all, I was the one who wronged you before. But how did Shen Xiao and Shen Qi offend you? Why do you ignore them?"
Shen Luo couldn't help it, so he reached out and pulled her, and his voice soared octaves higher.
Shen Ruyi looked outside the car and said, "I have enjoyed wealth and glory in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, so I should give the gift to Shen Jiaojiao. Isn't this what Third Brother told me before?"
"Just let them deliver it to Shen Jiaojiao."
Shen Xiao and Shen Qi were just executioners in their previous lives.
She doesn't care about such a small gift.
This time, she had the person she wanted, the things she wanted, and the way of life she wanted, but they had nothing to do with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Luo was choked and speechless, and finally said, "Okay, then if you don't want it, then don't do it!"
Fortunately, the road to Guangwenguan is not very long.
After finally getting off the bus, Shen Ruyi went straight to find the teacher.
Shen Luo and she did not have classes in the same courtyard, so after giving her a few instructions, he went next door.
Because so many people came to the last family recognition banquet, her apology had become known to everyone, and the ladies who arrived early couldn't help but whisper when they saw her come in.
"I didn't expect that she would come to Guangwenguan for classes. If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to see anyone."
"She is different from us. Let's stay away from her, so that people won't think we are the same as her."
"Yeah, I think she'd better stay at home. Why attend the class? She's so jealous. What's the point of attending the class? It'll just go in one ear and out the other. It'll be a waste of the teacher's words."
There are people who avoid her and those who point fingers at her.
But it is also different from the previous life when everyone was calling for his death.
This time, someone stood up to speak for her, thinking that she was the one who was wronged.
Princess Mingyang of the Changning Marquis's residence even stepped forward and held her hand, asking about her well-being. "Is your leg okay? If you ask me, your father is really cruel! Shen Jiaojiao is his daughter, but you are not? Besides, it was him who lost Shen Jiaojiao, not you. Why should he ask you to compensate Shen Jiaojiao? It's really inexplicable."
She always spoke very quickly, and directly stuffed a bottle of medicine into Shen Ruyi's hand, "I asked my mother for it. She said that rubbing it on your body can drive away the cold. You can rub it on your knees, but don't let it cause a root cause of illness."
"Thank you, my lord."
Shen Ruyi was touched and put the things away carefully. "I'm much better now. How about you? How have you been recently?"
"As for me, it's just like that!" Princess Mingyang rolled her eyes. "My father likes your third brother, but instead of letting me live with your third brother, it's better for me to become an old maid with you. We can go out and open a shop and depend on each other for life!"
Shen Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "My third brother is not a good man, but the one in your heart is a gentleman."
"The sun rose from the west? You actually spoke for Ping Xin?" Princess Mingyang sighed, "I thought it was unlucky not to go to the family reunion banquet that day. I heard from them that your personality had changed drastically, but I didn't believe it. But when I saw you today, it's true..."
Then he sighed and said, "But it's time to change. After all, no one would feel good after experiencing something like that."
"Yesterday, I went to the palace with my mother to visit the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine said that the Prime Minister's family is biased. Compensating Shen Jiaojiao is one thing, and it is another to raise a girl who was pampered by you. How can you deprive yours and give it to Shen Jiaojiao? Can't you give one separately?"
"I think what the Imperial Concubine said is right. I don't know what your father and your brothers are thinking. It's clearly your fault, but they want you to take the responsibility."
"That Shen Jiaojiao is not a good person either. She just cries all day long. She cries so much that all her luck is gone. She looks so unlucky!"
"No wonder the Imperial Concubine hates her for liking you!"
Shen Ruyi felt mixed emotions upon hearing this.
On her head, she was still wearing the hairpin that Han Jiang had given her, saying that it was given to Concubine Ying and Guifei by the late emperor.
So, Ying and Concubine Guifei were protecting her?
Why?
Shen Ruyi had no contact with this imperial concubine in her previous life, and she couldn't understand her thoughts for a while, but no matter what, if Yinghe imperial concubine spoke for her, her life would be much easier.
After all, this time she really wanted to marry Rong Yan.
I chatted with Princess Mingyang about Xiao Pingxin again, and then the bell for class rang.
Then the Master came in.
The two of them quickly dropped the topic and sat down.
The Master was talking about the way to cultivate one's mind. He suddenly called her up and asked, "Shen Ruyi, tell me, as a person, we should avoid being wasted by the sufferings of this world and become a calm, knowledgeable and reasonable person?"
"What does she know?"
Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter. "If she knew, she wouldn't have made such a fuss with Shen Jiaojiao. Hahaha——"
Before Shen Ruyi could say anything, a burst of laughter came out, "Master, you might as well ask her..."
