After Li Xuan drove Zhong Wanyue away, she immediately dropped her sarcastic attitude, sighed, looked at Shen Ning, and said earnestly, "I know you have your own plans for what you do, but Zhong Wanyue is not someone you can persuade, and you don't need to waste your energy on her."
She just deliberately insulted Zhong Wanyue to drive her away; this person isn't worth Shen Ning's trouble.
“She’s not a two or three-year-old anymore. She’s read a lot of books. So many people in her family love her and have tried to persuade her and analyze things for her, but she just won’t listen. So let her make a scene. Anyway, my parents don’t agree with her, so it’s impossible for her to marry my brother. And my brother doesn’t like her either. She has no chance. Let her hit a wall and know what pain is. Maybe then she’ll clear her head.”
Shen Ning understood what she meant: It's better to teach someone something once than to teach them a hundred times.
But Li Xuan didn't know that Zhong Wanyue was the kind of person who wouldn't turn back even after hitting a wall, and would insist on rotting under that wall.
Her own obsessive and madness caused pain to those who loved her.
Shen Ning wasn't fond of lecturing; he just felt it was necessary to help those in need.
For example, Princess Chang Le. She knew about Princess Chang Le's fate in her previous life. Although they were not familiar with each other in their previous life, Shen Ning liked her personality, so she did not want to see her wither away like she did in her previous life.
Liu Ying, Mo Lin, and Mo Xue'er are the people whose life trajectories she changed with her own hands.
She wasn't a bodhisattva who could save everyone from suffering, nor did she want to save everyone she met. It was only those things that concerned her that she wanted to help change things for them, since she knew their fate in their past lives and everything hadn't happened yet. At least she wanted to make sure their lives weren't more miserable than she knew about their past lives.
Zhong Wanyue felt that she had the same mindset as Shen Shu. The only difference was that Shen Shu was fickle and wanted all men to revolve around her, while Zhong Wanyue was devoted to only one person, so persistent that she forgot herself and had no rationality. Even though she knew that Li Kun did not love her, she still insisted on hitting the wall.
The two were similar in mindset, and were people that Shen Ning could not understand and did not want to meet.
But Zhong Wanyue is Zhong Tianheng's sister. Shen Ning has no conflict of interest or grudges with her. Since they have met, she is willing to show some goodwill and let her see that there are other emotions in this world besides men that are worth caring about.
Unfortunately, she was interrupted by Princess Chang Le before she could finish speaking. It's likely that Zhong Wanyue will never listen to her properly again, and she's no longer in the mood for it.
Du Yunzhi was unaware of the implications, but she could sense Shen Ning's emotional shift. Considering the things Shen Ning had deliberately said earlier, she had a guess in her mind.
"Ah Ning, do you want to be friends with that Miss Zhong?"
Shen Ning answered truthfully: "For a moment just now, I did have that thought. I thought that if she could play with us, maybe she would realize that pursuing a man who doesn't love her isn't that important. But after thinking about it, I don't think she can be my friend."
Du Yunzhi: "You want to help her because of that Zhong Tianheng?"
Shen Ning nodded honestly.
Du Yunzhi was confused. Princess Chang Le let out a soft hiss, wondering if she and her cousin could defeat Qin Zhuo.
She was serious about helping her cousin win back his wife.
Of course, she was serious about getting rid of Zhong Wanyue.
She enjoys being friends with Shen Ning and is willing to accept Shen Ning's friends, such as Du Yunzhi, but not Zhong Wanyue.
She grew up with Zhong Wanyue and knew her much better than Shen Ning. Zhong Wanyue lived in her own world and wouldn't listen to her family. She could never become true sisters with other women. She couldn't learn Shen Ning's gentleness and thoughtfulness, nor did she have Du Yunzhi's sense of boundaries. She was self-centered and thought that others should live according to her wishes.
Thinking about how Shen Ning will have Zhong Wanyue by her side in the future, if they have a conflict, Shen Ning will think that it was her cousin who took her anger out on her, and she won't take the blame.
Therefore, she had to eliminate the possibility of Zhong Wanyue and Shen Ning becoming friends from the very beginning.
Of course, Shen Ning had just suddenly remembered Zhong Tianheng and her judgment was affected by her memories of her past life. If it were just about Zhong Wanyue, Shen Ning wouldn't have any other thoughts.
Now that Princess Chang Le had interrupted her, she didn't think about it anymore. They had made plans to go out and have fun today, and she shouldn't let Zhong Wanyue affect her mood.
After sitting and chatting for a while, we got a little bored, so we decided to go shopping.
The three of them carried glass lanterns and walked side by side, looking just like three sisters.
They are not short of material things, and they come out to stroll around during the lantern festival twice a year. They have seen even the rarest things several times, and the rarest things have already been delivered to them. So their purpose is not to buy things, but to enjoy the atmosphere.
Watch the vendors enthusiastically hawking their wares, see the dazzling array of handmade products, and observe the joyful faces of the people coming and going.
Dragon and lion dances, lantern shows, acrobatics, and fireworks—this is the most magnificent spectacle in the world.
The three strolled and chatted along the way. Princess Chang Le, despite her noble status, remembered that Shen Ning was weak when there were many people around, and would take the initiative to shield her from being bumped into.
She paid for all the food, drinks, and entertainment along the way.
Du Yunzhi, watching from the side, felt a sense of crisis. Princess Chang Le was too good to Shen Ning. She was jealous. She was clearly Shen Ning's best friend. Wouldn't Princess Chang Le push her away in the future?
How could this be?!
Du Yunzhi was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice that they had stopped until she bumped into Shen Ning's back, at which point she realized who she had encountered.
Zhong Wanyue is back, accompanied by several young men. The man walking beside her is the most handsome among them, with a resemblance to Zhong Wanyue but more upright features, clear and three-dimensional facial features, and a bright and spirited appearance.
He was tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, which was very attractive. He had a healthy wheat-colored complexion and was full of undeniable vitality. He was clearly a martial artist.
Du Yunzhi: "This is her older brother?"
Princess Chang Le's expression was unpleasant: "Yes."
Zhong Wanyue had just left in anger, and now she was back to seek revenge, but even though it was Princess Chang Le who had angered her, she was pointing the finger at Shen Ning.
"Brother, this Miss Shen says she knows you. Have you met her?"
The smugness and disdain on her face were so obvious that her malice was clearly felt.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tianheng looked over, calmly examining Shen Ning before focusing his gaze on Princess Chang Le. He smiled slightly and asked, "Chang Le, won't you introduce the two ladies beside you?"
Princess Chang Le's somewhat unpleasant expression softened. Regardless of Zhong Wanyue's behavior, her cousin still maintained his composure: "Cousin, this is Miss Shen Ning, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and that is Miss Du, the daughter of the owner of the Du family restaurant."
Zhong Tianheng raised his hand in a salute: "Miss Shen, Miss Du."
The two returned the greeting with a slight bow: "Young Master Zhong."
