Cen Jiaan glanced at Taoist Bieshe next to him.
He raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Is Taoist alright?"
Although he expressed concern, Cen Jiaan's face showed no emotion and he didn't show any concern at all.
Taoist Bieshe was very respectful to Cen Jiaan: "It's just a few sips of water, it's nothing serious."
Cen Jiaan hummed indifferently.
"Sister." He stared at Cen Yiyi, his hands behind his back, a cold look covering his tender face, "Are you okay?"
How could Cen Yiyi have time to answer Cen Jiaan’s question?
She widened her eyes, her gaze moving back and forth between Bieshe Taoist and Cen Jiaan's faces.
After a while, Cen Yiyi mustered up the courage to ask carefully, "You...what is your relationship with this Taoist?"
"Don't be nervous, sister."
Cen Jiaan turned his head and glanced at the Taoist priest Bieshe: "The Taoist priest was invited back to the capital by my father."
"Father?" Cen Yiyi was even more curious. "How come I didn't know that Father wanted to invite someone back to the capital? Why did you do it?"
Cen Jiaan curled the corners of his mouth and raised his delicate eyebrows.
He looked at Cen Yiyi thoughtfully and sneered, "Sister, I'm afraid you should ask father about this. How would I know?"
"But judging by your sister's expression, if father really had something to do, he wouldn't dare to let you handle it."
Cen Yiyi suddenly showed anger: "What do you mean by this?"
Cen Jiaan looked innocently at Cen Yiyi with interest. "Sister, your mind is full of the eldest young master of the Liang family. You only have love in your heart. You are so indecisive and act on emotion. How could father dare to entrust things to you?"
Cen Yiyi raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with anger as she stared at Cen Jiaan coldly: "Cen Jiaan, you are just a dog adopted by our Cen Mansion. Do you really think you are the eldest young master of our Cen family?"
Cen Yiyi glared at Taoist Bieshe coldly: "Father asked you to receive a Taoist who is not worthy of the stage. Do you really think it is a big deal? You are showing off in front of me. Don't you think you are nothing?"
What was strange was that after Cen Yiyi finished speaking, Taoist Bieshe became furious and took a step forward.
But Cen Jiaan raised his hand to stop him.
Cen Jiaan looked at Cen Yiyi indifferently: "Sister, you are right. I am just an adopted son of the Cen family. How dare I show off in front of you?"
Seeing Cen Jiaan give in, Cen Yiyi's expression gradually relaxed a little.
Cen Jiaan raised the corner of his lips, his eyes becoming even colder as he suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Miss Xianggui next to my sister? Why didn't she accompany my sister to the boat cruise and fireworks display today?"
Cen Yiyi's expression suddenly changed, her dark eyebrows twisted into a "川" shape, and she looked at Cen Jiaan angrily.
The entire Cen family knew that Xianggui almost got Shangshu Cen into trouble because of her wrong words. She was punished by Shangshu Cen and died from exhaustion.
It was precisely because of this incident that Cen Yiyi had been disliked by Minister Cen in recent days.
When Cen Jiaan brought this up, it was obvious that he was deliberately trying to disgust Cen Yiyi.
Seeing her looking at him angrily, Cen Jiaan smiled indifferently and continued, "Sister, please keep an eye on your maid and don't cause trouble for father again."
He took a step closer to Cen Yiyi: "Otherwise, if because of a few maids, your biological daughter is not as close to our father as an adopted son like me, wouldn't that be a waste of your status?"
The more Cen Jiaan spoke, the colder his expression became. In a trance, the air around him seemed to become a little colder.
"you……"
Just as Cen Yiyi was about to retort, Cen Jiaan had already stepped back indifferently.
He turned his head to look at Taoist Bieshe: "Taoist, we have important matters to discuss. Should we let these idle people get off the boat first?"
Anyone could tell that although Cen Jiaan was speaking to Taoist Bieshe, the order to expel him was actually directed at Cen Yiyi.
This was the first time in all these years that Cen Yiyi had suffered such a "great humiliation".
Supported by Xianglan, she stared at Cen Jiaan angrily and said coldly, "Cen Jiaan, just wait for me!"
After saying this, Cen Yiyi twisted her body and angrily left Bieshe Taoist's cruise ship.
When Cen Yiyi disappeared from sight, Bie Shedao looked at Cen Jiaan with a hint of uneasiness and whispered, "Master, you have angered Cen Yiyi. If she tells Minister Cen what happened today, then your situation in the Cen Mansion will be in jeopardy, right?"
Cen Jiaan withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Bieshe Taoist with a leisurely look: "My status in the Cen Mansion depends on how you behave next."
"If you can muddy the waters of the capital, then Minister Cen will naturally look at me differently."
Taoist Bieshe put on a wide smile, nodded to Cen Jiaan with a hint of embarrassment, and said softly, "Master, I really cannot accept your words."
"Master, rest assured. As long as I am in the capital, no one in the Shen Yuexi family will be able to live in peace."
The smile on Cen Jiaan's face became even more intense.
The other side.
Shen Yuexi and the other two returned to the mansion.
Before he even entered the door, Liang Xinmin came out in a hurry to greet him.
He looked flustered, looked around at Liang Shuda, and then looked at Shen Yuexi: "Mom, you are finally back."
Seeing Liang Xinmin's panic, Shen Yuexi and the other two felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
[Could something happen again late at night?]
Liang Yuyu placed her chubby little paws on her forehead and rubbed it gently twice.
[Why are there always accidents happening in the Liang Mansion? Do they want to keep people alive?]
Shen Yuexi also had a worried look on her face: "What's wrong?"
Liang Xinmin licked his lips and approached carefully: "The Duke of Zhenguo is here."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
[I was wondering what it was. Turns out it's the Duke of Zhenguo.]
[Mother gave Qi He such a bad taste in her mouth in the shop today. It would be really strange if the Duke of Zhenguo didn't come and seek justice for Qi He.]
[After all, it was the Empress who ultimately intervened in today's matter. Even if the Duke of Zhenguo wants to blame someone, it should be the Empress.]
What Liang Yuyu was thinking in her heart was exactly what Shen Yuexi wanted to say.
Her face remained calm as she whispered, "I'm here. The Duke of Zhenguo is here to seek justice for Madam, right?"
Liang Xinmin's expression became increasingly ugly.
He lowered his head, and carefully looked at Shen Yuexi and Liang Shuda's faces. Finally, he looked at Shen Yuexi and slowly shook his head: "No."
"No?" Shen Yuexi was curious, "Then what are you here for?"
Liang Xinmin's face was filled with nervousness. He swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice even more: "The Duke of Zhenguo is here to compensate Mother and apologize to her for her wife's reckless behavior today."
"What?"
【What? 】
Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu showed surprised expressions almost at the same time.
[The Duke of Zhenguo came to apologize on Qi He's behalf? Did I hear correctly?]
