Chapter 123 Congratulations to the Princess
"Pei Zhi, come out here, Pei Zhi..." Princess Duanyang led her men and rushed into the Ministry of Justice.
No one dared to stop it.
Pei Zhi was dressed in a crimson official uniform. He slowly stood up and bowed to Princess Duanyang. "What instructions do you have, Princess?"
A gentleman is upright and indifferent like water, which is embodied in him at this moment.
Princess Duanyang waved her hand to let everyone leave. Her long skirt dragged on the ground, and the corners of her eyes were red. She walked towards Pei Zhi step by step, her voice hoarse, "Did you know that my father has granted me a marriage, and I will soon marry Yu Jiuan?"
Pei Zhi nodded.
We have to thank him for adding fuel to the fire!
Why is the princess here to thank him today?
Well, there is no need to do so!
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Princess Duanyang looked at Pei Zhi infatuatedly. The corners of her eyes became redder and her eyes were filled with a layer of mist, which made her look particularly sparkling.
"Congratulations, Princess." Pei Zhi took a step back and bowed to him again.
Pei Zhi is capable of killing people and destroying their hearts.
"You, actually, congratulate this princess?" Princess Duanyang felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She looked at Pei Zhi and laughed out loud, and then two lines of hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Pei Zhi lowered his eyebrows slightly, looking calm.
What Princess Duanyang hated most was his distant and indifferent appearance. No matter how hard she tried, he would always be out of her reach.
"Pei Zhi, do you have a heart or not? Don't you know that the only one this princess wants to marry is you? I don't want to marry Yu Jiuan. I beg you, as long as you tell my father that you are willing to marry me, my father will definitely grant our wish. Just accompany me into the palace now." Princess Duanyang stretched out her hand, trying to pull Pei Zhi's sleeve.
Pei Zhi quickly took a step back, avoiding her hand, and said, "Please don't embarrass me, Princess."
"Pei Zhi, don't you want to marry me?" Even though she had been rejected by Pei Zhi countless times, Princess Duanyang still asked this question at this moment, only because she still had fantasies in her heart.
Pei Zhi said word by word, "Yes, I dare not approach you!"
He always says this.
Princess Duanyang's ears were covered with calluses from listening so much.
"Pei Zhi, I hate you. Why am I not worthy of you? Why am I so incompatible with you?" Princess Duanyang could no longer bear it and she looked hysterical.
"It is you who are not worthy of the princess." Pei Zhi replied. He really was. Every word he said had a response and pierced the heart.
"Okay, Pei Zhi, I hope you remember what I said today." Princess Duanyang looked at him heartbrokenly and stepped back. Suddenly, her eyes became sharp and she changed the subject, "In this life, you will be alone like this, and die alone! Because this is the fate you deserve."
She paused, her tone becoming increasingly aggressive, "If this princess knew that you had a woman you loved, she would be crushed to ashes."
Something she couldn't get.
No one can get involved!
Pei Zhi raised his eyes lightly. Princess Duanyang had already left in anger. His eyes fell on Princess Duanyang's back. He curled his lips slightly, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.
It's not her decision.
Whether he can protect her depends on his ability...
As soon as Wu left, Qingshu returned. He plopped down on his knees before Shen Zhixu and said, "I have deceived you, sir. I did not return to the countryside. Last night, I sneaked into the Qin family's house to help you. I knew you had great ambitions and would become something extraordinary in the future. You absolutely cannot afford to have this stain on your life. I acted on my own initiative. Please forgive me."
Shen Zhixu looked at Qingshu deeply. He didn't believe Qingshu at first.
Until Qingshu took out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest without blinking, "I know I deserve death, I dare not ask for forgiveness, sir."
Blood gushed out of his chest.
Shen Zhixu suddenly remembered his previous life, when Qingshu had always been with him until the end, without any selfish motives.
"Qingshu, what are you doing? When did I ever say I didn't trust you?" Shen Zhixu immediately asked someone to call a doctor.
Wu also sent someone to send two thousand taels of silver notes, which completely solved their urgent needs.
Soon, a letter from Shen Zhixu inviting Shen Zhiyan to Tianranju appeared in Shen Zhiyan's hands.
He didn't want to go at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to go. No matter what, this matter must not be brought to his mother's attention.
Since the letter was delivered to him, it means that Xie Changning knew about this matter a long time ago.
It has been cloudy and rainy these days, and now it is raining again, and the rain is heavy and fast.
Xie Changning sat by the window and watched the rain.
After learning about Shen Zhixu, he invited Qin Kaiji, Wu, and Shen Zhiyan to meet at Tianranju in two days.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Shen Zhixu is such a filial son!"
In the previous life, two days later, something big happened in Kyoto.
Due to continuous rain and termite infestation, Tianranju collapsed when the building was fully occupied, burying many people alive.
He is just as cruel and ruthless as ever.
Also, the Fourth Prince had many secret guards around him. Although Xie Nan was unable to find out what Shen Zhixu had said to the Fourth Prince.
But she had already guessed it.
Soon, news of floods in the south of the Yangtze River will arrive. Shen Zhixu must be taking this as a prophecy and wants to climb the ladder of the Fourth Prince.
He wanted to transfer out of the Ministry of Revenue and then move up the ladder.
What a dream!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Miss Feng San invited Shen Jingshu to go boating on the lake.
Shen Jingshu dressed up, paid her respects to Xie Changning, and then went out with her people.
She had just stepped out of the door.
Wu received the news, "Are you telling the truth? Jingshu is out?"
"Madam, this is absolutely true. Our people saw it with their own eyes. The fifth young lady took someone out." said Mrs. Wei, Wu's confidant.
Mrs. Wu was very excited. She grabbed Mother Wei's hand and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to prepare the car. I must meet Jingshu today."
As long as Jingshu recognizes her, why worry that Zhiyan and Zhizhou will refuse to recognize them?
How could Wu hold it in? As soon as she came back yesterday, she told Qin Kaiji the good news that Shen Zhixu was willing to help them.
She also said a lot of good things about Shen Zhixu.
This made Qin Kaiji feel a little confused. Could it be that he really misunderstood Zhixu?
Boating on the lake was not a strange thing for Shen Jingshu. In fact, she had no interest in it and just wanted to get some fresh air.
The wound on her back has been healing these days, and it's itchy and itchy. How can she sit still?
Miss Feng San invited many noble ladies, all of whom were familiar to Shen Jingshu. Although no one ridiculed her, she was too lazy to get close to them.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth sister caused trouble one after another.
She always feels that she is inferior to others.
After swaying on the river in a pleasure boat, Shen Jingshu led her people back home.
The carriage had only been driving for a short time.
A woman suddenly came forward and stopped her carriage.
"My wife invites Miss Five to come over for a chat."
Shen Jingshu recognized Mother Wei at a glance. She frowned slightly, "Aunt wants to see me? I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me right now."
She did not forget that her mother had broken off relations with the Qin family.
If her mother knew that she had met Qin in private, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.
"It's like this. Isn't the fourth young lady getting married soon? My wife specially prepared some makeup for the fourth young lady, and of course some jewelry for the fifth young lady, all of which are things girls like." Mother Wei said with a smile.
Shen Jingshu was instantly moved. Her mother hadn't prepared jewelry and clothes for her for a long time.
So she followed Mother Wei into a villa.
Mrs. Wu saw her from a distance and hurried over to greet her. "I'd like to say a few words of comfort to Miss Fifth. Is that possible?"
As she spoke, she looked at the maid and the old woman beside Shen Jingshu.
Shen Jingshu nodded slightly.
"My dear daughter, I finally see you." As the maid and the old woman retreated, Wu rushed up and hugged Shen Jingshu tightly.
