But when it comes to the man in front of her, she has to be cautious.
She even had a premonition that this man's identity was definitely not simple, and he was not as gentle as she saw on the surface.
"May I ask what brings you here today, sir?"
Jiang Yanche smiled faintly, and in the blink of an eye he changed his sitting position and came to the left side of Chen Ningzhu. His tall body suddenly moved closer, and his pair of affectionate and sparkling peach blossom eyes curved and looked straight at her.
A faint scent of sandalwood, mixed with his unique masculine scent, wafted from his body and penetrated into Chen Ningzhu's nostrils.
The two people are very close.
So close that their noses were almost touching each other.
The distance and posture were a bit too ambiguous, but Chen Ningzhu kept her back straight, her eyes calm as water, and she didn't move at all when she saw him approaching.
A hint of admiration flashed in Jiang Yanche's eyes.
His thin lips curved, and his warm breath sprayed on Shen Ningzhu's face. His eyes were clear and bright, full of water.
There was a hint of grievance in his voice as he spoke.
"Miss, what you said is a bit too distant. Can't I only come to you when I have something to do, and not when I don't have anything to do?"
Shen Ningzhu raised her eyes and sneered calmly.
"My dear, be careful with your words. Men and women should not touch each other."
Jiang Yanche was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He is a handsome young man who is very popular among women in Jiangnan. When he rides a horse and parades through the streets, there will be a lot of beautiful women waving their sleeves.
This is the first time in his life that he has seen a woman remain indifferent to his beauty and gentleness.
It's the kind that really doesn't touch me at all.
This made him seriously doubt whether he was disfigured, otherwise why would his charm decrease so much.
Suddenly feeling bored, he sat up straight and changed the subject, "I remember you didn't like the prince, so why did you agree to let him into the prince's mansion now? If you want to escape, I can help you."
Thank you for the invitation.
Compared to him, Jiang Xuanyan at least knows her inside and out and is only responsible for her without any other thoughts or calculations. But Jiang Yanche is an unknown.
When I first met him, I thought he was quite reserved and shy, but now...
Haha, what a scum.
What she wants is freedom, not jumping from one cage to another.
"I appreciate your kindness, sir, but I'm afraid I'll let you down. Who said I don't want to enter the Prince's Mansion? What you heard in the villa before was just me trying to trick the maid at home. I didn't mean it at all."
Jiang Yanche: ...
"Sir, please go back. Don't let anyone see us and tarnish our reputation."
"Are you sure you don't regret it?"
Shen Ningzhu smiled and said, "If you regret it one day, I will tell you again."
Leave some room for maneuver and don't be too decisive in your words.
Jiang Yanche then smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll wait for the day you come to me. By the way, I owe you my life-saving grace. If you ever stop wanting to be the crown prince, will I marry you?"
Chen Ningzhu smiled with a fake smile: "Hehe."
"I'll take this as your agreement, my beauty. We'll meet again soon."
After saying that, the man quickly left the car. Shen Ningzhu stretched her ears and listened for a while. Seeing that there was no other movement, she relaxed and cursed "lunatic".
Just close your eyes and rest again.
The Prince's Mansion arrived soon.
He must have received the news early in the morning, so when the carriage stopped, Zhang Bo, the steward of the Prince's Mansion, came to the window and bowed respectfully to the carriage.
"Is it Miss Shen? You have worked hard on your journey. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically ordered this old servant to welcome you here."
Shen Ningzhu was a little surprised.
This man seems to take her seriously. Not bad, I give him a modest thumbs up.
Chen Ningzhu leaned out of the carriage and glanced at Uncle Zhang who was bowing. He was a tall, elegant middle-aged man who looked very friendly.
She glanced at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground beside the carriage, acting as a human footstool for her, and her brows subconsciously furrowed.
"Well, the housekeeper is thoughtful. You should get up too. I don't need a footstool."
After saying this, without waiting for the other party to react, he jumped lightly from the other side of the carriage and got off.
There was a flicker of surprise in everyone's eyes.
This Miss Shen seemed to be different from what was said by the outside world. It was said that she was arrogant, extremely vicious, and very difficult to deal with. She either beat or scolded her servants.
It was for this reason that the housekeeper specially had someone make a human-shaped footstool for her, but she didn't expect that she didn't even use it?
It was beyond his expectation.
Could it be that he had just arrived at the Prince's Mansion and wanted to leave a good impression on His Royal Highness the Prince and the servants?
Yes, it is possible.
Everyone knows that Chen Ningzhu loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much and is willing to do anything to please His Royal Highness.
"Please show me where I will live from now on."
Chen Ningzhu spoke, and the housekeeper Zhang Bo finally came back to his senses. "Oh, okay, young lady, please follow me. By the way, my last name is Zhang. From now on, you can call me Zhang the housekeeper or Zhang Bo."
As Chen Ningzhu walked, she called out obediently, "Uncle Zhang, please give me your guidance in the future."
Uncle Zhang put on a gracious smile and said, "No, young lady, please excuse me. Please come this way."
…
"Master, the person has left."
At a corner not far from the Prince's Mansion, a man dressed as a guard said something to a handsome man in white clothes.
Seeing that the other party was still looking at the side door of the Prince's Mansion, without moving, he asked in confusion:
"Master, are you interested in Miss Shen?"
Jiang Yanche finally turned around and glared at him coldly.
"Yuan Yi, I have reason to suspect that you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Which eye of yours saw that I fell in love with that woman?"
Yuan Yi: I saw it with both eyes.
If you don't like someone, why do you keep peeping at them? You know, they had returned to Beijing secretly before, and if they were exposed, they would be in big trouble.
He, on the other hand, doesn't do anything important. Every night he stands on the wall and looks at a woman. What can he see at night when he stands on the wall? I really don't understand.
He's almost turned himself into a wife-starving stone, yet he still insists that he doesn't like her.
But there is one thing that he, as a subordinate, must remind him.
"That's good. Your Highness, you know that Chen Ningzhu likes the prince. Everyone in the capital knows this. It's been three years. It shows how deeply she loves him. A woman like this is not suitable for you, Your Highness."
So what if she is the most beautiful woman in the capital?
She behaves so perversely and viciously, and cares about others. Moreover, she is just a peasant girl now, which makes her even less worthy of his wise and powerful Prince Chen.
Even being a foot-washing maid is a disgrace to His Majesty.
Yuan Yi was talking excitedly when he suddenly felt the air become colder. He thought the weather had suddenly changed. When he looked up, he was met with Jiang Yanche's eyes full of ice.
"Has that been enough?"
Yuan Yi shuddered, "I know I was wrong, I was too talkative."
As he spoke, he slapped himself twice.
