Knowing that Lu Shuying was causing trouble, Princess Qi arrived shortly after. With her friendly attitude, who wouldn't think highly of Shen Ning?
Shen Ning achieved her goal today, far exceeding her expectations, but she also knew that for a long time to come, she would likely be entangled with the Qi Prince's Mansion.
This would save a lot of trouble, but she can't get married.
Lu Shuying and Shen Shu are cut from the same cloth. Any man who would be interested in Lu Shuying, willing to die for her and even go against his family, must be out of his mind. She would rather become a nun than marry her.
Shen Ning was very popular, and Princess Chang Le couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled her away and said, "Let's go play somewhere else."
Princess Chang Le was never short of young ladies who followed her and tried to please her wherever she went, but Princess Chang Le was in a bad mood, so she left them all behind and took Shen Ning with her.
"You're really amazing. My grandma and mother rarely like someone this much."
Looking at the bracelet on Shen Ning's wrist, he sneered, "Hypocrite, sycophant!"
Shen Ning praised, "The princess has a discerning eye that sees through to the essence of things."
Princess Chang Le glared at her: "Say that again and I'll ignore you!"
Shen Ning chuckled, unable to suppress her laughter. What kind of childish talk was this?
"Actually, I should talk about my painful experiences over the years and play the victim at this time. That way, the kind-hearted princess would definitely pity me and sympathize with me."
Princess Chang Le sneered disdainfully, "Who would sympathize with you? Do you think I have so much free time?"
Shen Ning held her hand, but after she shook him off, he grabbed her hand again, clinging to her like a leech, and this time he wasn't shaken off.
After walking for a while without speaking, Princess Chang Le suddenly said, "I investigated you, and you are very capable."
With both parents dead and a bunch of relatives coveting her family fortune, she defied all conventions and held a knife to her relatives in front of her mother's coffin.
If it were just this incident alone, people might still say she's bad, like a madwoman, but she had heard the analysis given to her by Princess Qi.
If Shen Ning hadn't been ruthless back then, she would definitely have been torn apart by her relatives.
Only by understanding the consequences can one appreciate how difficult it has been for Shen Ning to get to where he is today.
Her mother was the daughter of a military family, and there weren't many women who could be appreciated by her mother. But when news of Shen Ning came, her mother took a liking to her at first glance.
Shen Ning patted her head: "Princess, don't hang your head. I don't like that expression on your face."
Princess Chang Le glared at her: "Who cares if you like it?"
Shen Ning smiled, her eyes crinkling: "I like it."
Her eyes were full of longing: "Princess, you are so heroic and skilled in martial arts. You are like a free wind or a bright sun. You are the kind of person I dream of living. But alas, I am a useless person and will never be like you."
Princess Chang Le slapped away Shen Ning's hand that was touching her head, and remained silent for a long time.
As the banquet began, Princess Chang Le was unusually silent on the way back, seemingly unwilling to talk to anyone. However, she slowed down her pace until she was almost walking side by side with Shen Ning.
Shen Ning saw all of this, and the smile in her eyes was almost overflowing.
This young princess is a rather eccentric and proud girl.
"Princess, something terrible has happened!"
A maid rushed over and almost bumped into Princess Chang Le's arms. After being pulled back, she said urgently, "The young master has been beaten and his leg has been broken."
Where?
"Fenglan Pavilion."
Princess Chang Le turned and ran. Shen Ning paused for a moment, then looked at the maid and asked, "Should we chase after her?"
The maid was also taken aback for a moment, then, remembering that Shen Ning had just been with Princess Chang Le, she nodded and said, "Please come with me, Miss."
Shen Ning was practically dragged there by her maid. She wanted to say there was no rush, that she was just there to watch the show, and that there was no need to hurry.
Soon they arrived at Fenglan Pavilion, where Shen Ning was dragged inside by a maid and plunged headfirst into the middle of the conflict.
On the left is Princess Chang Le and several people protecting a man with a severe leg injury. On the right... hmm, these clothes and this atmosphere... seem a bit familiar.
Isn't this the bodyguard next to the young emperor's brother-in-law?
Mechanically turning my neck, I finally saw the man sitting by the railing of the corridor. The first thing I saw was his face, which startled me. Then I saw his hand and the familiar gemstone ring, confirming that it was him. Then I looked up at his face.
Hmm... Shen Ning was stunned.
The infamous young imperial uncle, as legend has it, was actually a young man in his early twenties, and his appearance was not fierce at all; on the contrary, he was rather handsome.
Her skin was slightly fair but not effeminate; her features were well-defined and three-dimensional.
With a straight nose, red lips, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, her beauty was beyond words.
Anyway, he was a very handsome young man.
However, he didn't look like someone to be trifled with; his brows held a fierce and intimidating aura.
He exuded aggression, like a wolf that could pounce and tear a person to pieces at any moment.
After a man reaches adulthood, he is supposed to tie his hair up to signify his adulthood, but his hair was left loose, with only a small braid tied with a red string by his ear, hanging down to his heart.
There's an inexplicable sense of unconventional, unrestrained arrogance about him.
Shen Ning looked over, and he looked over too.
He leaned back against the pillar, his posture arrogant and unrestrained, and gave a wicked smile: "You want to save someone?"
Four words mocking her overestimation of her abilities.
Shen Ning took small, quick steps to the side, saying, "Just passing by..."
Fearing that the blood would splatter on her, Shen Ning even pulled the little maid from before to shield herself.
A gaze filled with intense resentment fell upon her, and it was only then that she noticed there was another person present: Lu Shuying.
Lu Shuying stared intently at Shen Ning, her eyes filled with malice. The next moment, she suddenly attacked: "Why are you hiding? Hurry up and save the young master!"
Shen Ning: "Huh?!??"
She pointed at the young imperial brother-in-law and said angrily, "He's the one who injured the young master, and you're still laughing and joking with him. Don't you have any shame?"
Shen Ning's expression slowly darkened as he looked at her with incomprehension, his expression one of disdain and indifference.
"Are you out of your mind, or do I have a death wish?"
"Let's not even talk about how I've never even met your so-called young master..." She paused, glancing at the man behind Princess Chang Le: "Alright, now that you've met him, what does it have to do with me?"
"Up until now, neither the Grand Princess nor the Princess has mentioned marriage or taking concubines, but you have been biting me like a mad dog, ridiculously showing off your position as the Crown Prince's wife which is not yet secure, and constantly belittling me as a concubine. You are simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and have no manners whatsoever."
Princess Chang Le frowned. Although she thought Shen Ning was right, her words were very hateful, especially those of the person behind her.
Sure enough, Li Kun was furious: "Shut up! How dare you insult my wife! You have some nerve!"
Shen Ning glanced at him and said, "You should stand up first before we talk."
A useless piece of trash who can only lie on the ground and howl.
"I thought that Wei Congwen and Shen Shu were the only fools in the world who went crazy for love. I didn't expect that there is no shortage of fools in the world. I was just ignorant."
