Shen Yuerong looked at the flowers in the yard helplessly.
"So many? Did they select some and send them here, or did they send all of them here? I'm afraid they want to build a Shen Mansion in the flowers."
She picked out a few pots she liked and said, "Put these pots in the house to decorate it."
"yes."
Shen Yuerong sat in the room, looking at the pots of different flowers blooming, and her mind was calm for a long time.
I am even more curious about what the prince just said. What exactly did he want to say?
What secret is Chi Mu hiding from her?
The man came over on time after court, looked at the sea of flowers that had been arranged in the yard, and asked her with a smile.
"Do you like the flowers I picked for you? If you don't like these, I'll ask someone to find you more?"
"Everyone knows that those were my words. They were just an excuse to get the three of them to leave. You were the only one who took it seriously. Not only did you save so much money, but it almost filled up my entire Shen's house, and you still feel it's not enough."
"I just thought... you finally said you liked it, so I arranged it well to make you happy."
"Although the crown prince has left the capital, his minions are still here. It's not right for you to be so lenient now. If his men get hold of us, then wouldn't that be..."
"don’t worry."
He reached out and touched Shen Yuerong's forehead, "What happened in the court has naturally been explained, otherwise I would not stay here, don't worry, everything has been arranged."
Although Shen Yuerong was a little suspicious, seeing how determined he was, she finally nodded.
"Since you said it's okay, then it's okay."
Because the Shen family donated the most, they became the focus of discussion in Beijing.
The young lady of the Pei family, who had not appeared for a long time, mocked Fu Hengyue in person.
"I heard that this Miss Shen was once your lame sister-in-law. How could a lame person come up with so much money? Isn't it because she was involved with Wang Yue?"
She remembered something again, "Ah! Speaking of which, Wang Yue wanted to choose you as his princess at first, but he didn't expect that his position would be taken by his sister-in-law."
"Pei Xian'er, be more careful with your words. My brother is now a fourth-rank official. I am no longer the kid you could bully at will!"
"Yeah?"
Pei Xian'er took two steps forward, raised her hand and slapped her.
"It's only the fourth rank! Why don't you go out and ask your brother how he got this position? If it weren't for my father's intention to be the crown prince, your stupid brother would also want to sit in the position of a fourth-rank official? It's really ridiculous."
"That's right, Sister Xian'er. She thought she had become a phoenix! People who didn't know would think she had married the prince and become the prince's consort. She looked like an accomplice to a tiger!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone burst into laughter and mocked her, but she was surrounded and could only fall to the ground helplessly.
"Fu Hengyue, I gave you the honor to fetch water for me. Look at what this water you fetched is."
On this hot day, the tea in the cup had just been brewed and was still boiling hot, but Pei Xian'er poured the entire pot of water on Fu Hengyue.
Because of the hot summer weather, people already wear thin clothes, and when the hot water from the pot hits them, their skin immediately turns red.
"ah!"
She screamed loudly. She was clearly being blocked by this group of people at the intersection where she had to take to get home from school. No one passing by dared to lend a helping hand.
Fu Hengyue looked around and finally found Fu Hengjing, who was hanging out with a few of his friends in the crowd.
"Fu Hengjing, save me! Ah! Fu Hengjing..."
Fu Hengyue used all his strength to crawl out two steps, but someone stepped on his ankle viciously. Pei Xian'er looked at Fu Hengjing who stopped in the distance with a provocative look on her face.
"Do you want to save her?"
Fu Hengjing looked coldly at Fu Hengyue lying on the ground, took two steps forward, but was stopped by the person next to him.
"That person is from the Pei family. We can't afford to offend him."
He looked at her, his eyes full of help. As a brother, he should lend a helping hand to save his sister.
Just like that, even the people around them who were anxious to go home stopped and surrounded them to know what happened last.
He walked up to Pei Xian'er and looked at her lying on the ground. The parts where she had been burned were already bloody.
"Master Zhai will leave from the front gate today to report to the palace. If he knew that Miss Pei relied on her family's power to bully her classmates, I'm afraid even Master Pei would be reported to the Censorate."
When Pei Xian'er heard this, she was indeed a little scared and retracted her feet.
"If you have any problems, why not leave the academy and solve them away from this road? This way, you won't be caught in a sore spot and reported to Lord Pei, and the Pei family won't be criticized for these petty fights."
"Fu Hengjing, I'm your sister!"
Fu Hengyue originally thought that the man in front of him was here to save her, but she didn't expect that he didn't care what happened at all. Instead, he warned Pei Xian'er to torture her in another place.
"ah?"
Pei Xian'er obviously didn't expect him to speak like this.
Fu Hengjing pointed at Mr. Zhai who had already walked out of the room and said, "I advise you to take her away quickly, otherwise... Mr. Zhai will come and tell on you."
Pei Xian'er quickly asked the younger brothers beside him to help the man up, and then the group walked out.
Even so, he was stopped by Mr. Zhai.
Mr. Zhai looked at them sitting in a group and said unhappily, "Go home after school. Do you know everything the teacher wants to say today? You are hanging out together like a bunch of low-class people, which makes people resentful for no reason."
"Yes, students remember this."
He looked again and saw Fu Hengyue surrounded by people.
"Especially you, Fu Hengyue, and your disappointing brother Fu Hengjing. Don't think that just because your brother has become a fourth-rank official, you are becoming more and more vulnerable. If the next assessment still yields the same results, you might as well give up the idea of studying and get married. Or do something else."
He didn't care about the scars on Fu Hengyue's body at all. He just turned and left after saying this, without caring why they were gathered together.
After listening to Mr. Zhai scolding Fu Hengyue, Pei Xian'er became even more aggressive, "Did you hear that? Even Mr. Zhai said that you should get clean as soon as possible, go back home, and prepare to get married. But if you are rejected by the palace, I'm afraid you won't have any good way out in the future. How about this, my second brother still needs a concubine to warm his bed, I will ask my father to marry you, and you and I will be sisters-in-law in the future, how about that?"
