Chapter 26 I don’t understand what it means.
Xiao Yuan nodded, lowered his head to look at the empty seat, and glanced at Ling Chenyi.
“…” Ling Chenyi glanced at the empty seat next to his mother, then glanced at Shen Anan’s side, his eyelids twitching slightly.
"..." Where does he want him to sit?
He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuan expressionlessly, his eyes full of confusion.
"..." Xiao Yuan's face darkened, and the smile on his lips was a little cold.
Ling Chenyi received the threatening look and stepped forward. He hesitated for a moment and sat down next to Shen Anan.
This must be what he meant by the fact that he doesn't get along with Miss Shen, but... why did the gaze behind him become sharper and more fierce?
Is it too late for him to stand up now?
"Yuan'er, why are you still standing there? Come and sit down," the eldest princess urged.
Xiao Yuan sat down with a sullen face.
He didn't know why he suddenly did this, it was as if a strong desire suddenly surged in his heart.
He narrowed his eyes, wondering if he had been pissed off by that woman.
Ling Chenyi tilted his head and smiled at him sheepishly, but Xiao Yuan pretended not to see it with a blank expression.
Ling Chenyi sighed and pursed his lips. He and Xiao Yuan grew up together. Even if they couldn't be said to have a telepathic connection, they did have a tacit understanding of each other. But in recent days, this guy has become increasingly difficult to serve.
The two of them were sitting upright with an empty seat between them, which looked a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.
The eldest princess glanced at her son. Why was he sitting so close to the girl? Although she liked the girl from the Shen family very much, it was absolutely impossible for the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and the Shen family to get married.
Mrs. Shen was also a little embarrassed. She glanced at her daughter and was about to order someone to remove the extra chair when Shen Changhe suddenly strode in.
He glanced around, lowered his eyelids to hide the surprise in his eyes, and bowed, "Your humble servant greets the Fourth Prince."
“Mr. Shen is the host today, so you don’t have to be polite.” Xiao Yuan said in a calm tone.
Shen Changhe nodded and greeted the eldest princess and Ling Chenyi.
"I've been waiting for you." Mrs. Shen said with a smile, secretly relieved in her heart. Now that her eldest son was here, she felt more at ease.
But the room fell silent again, facing a new problem.
Where does Shen Changhe sit?
Logically, he should sit next to Shen Anan. After all, they are siblings and a family.
Therefore, Ling Chenyi's sitting position was not very suitable.
Ling Chenyi was also a little embarrassed, but before he could say anything, he received Xiao Yuan's look again.
What does it mean?
Ling Chenyi stared at Xiao Yuan blankly for a while, then gestured to him, "Do you want to sit here?"
That’s not appropriate. The person’s brother is still standing.
Xiao Yuan looked at Ling Chenyi with a cold face.
“…”
At this time, the eldest princess suddenly spoke, "Yier, what are you standing there for? Why don't you give up your seat to Master Shen? You come sit next to Yuan'er. You have no sense at all."
"..." Ling Chenyi's face turned pale for a while, then he stood up and looked at Shen Anan who was looking down and motionless.
It was a pity that he had not yet talked to her about the scroll.
This action caught the eyes of Xiao Yuan and Shen Changhe. Their eyes darkened at the same time, and they watched Ling Chenyi's actions with a bit of coldness.
Ling Chenyi sat down next to Xiao Yuan, and Shen Changhe walked forward, lifted his robe and sat down.
At this time, the maids came in one after another and served the dishes, and Madam Shen invited everyone to eat.
They were all powerful and wealthy people who paid great attention to rules and etiquette. They finished their meals quietly without even the sound of chopsticks hitting the dishes.
After the meal, Mrs. Shen ordered some desserts to be served, and then the conversation slowly started.
Shen Anan pulled Shen Changhe's sleeve and muttered softly, "What time is it now, and they haven't talked about going back home yet, are they planning to stay here?"
Shen Changhe patted his sister's hand soothingly, "Eat some snacks, it will be fine in a while."
Shen Anan nodded impatiently.
The scene of the interaction between the brother and sister fell into Xiao Yuan's eyes.
The girl's pretty face was filled with strong dissatisfaction. She complained to her brother and acted coquettishly, being very well-behaved.
Thinking that this woman seemed to be smiling, gentle and kind with all men except him, but every time she met him, she would open her mouth and start barking as if she was bitten by a mad dog.
Ling Chenyi also approached him and whispered, "You and Miss Shen acted like cockfighting when you met. I thought you didn't want to sit next to Miss Shen, so you..."
"When did I say I didn't want to sit?" Xiao Yuan said coldly.
“…”
Ling Chenyi straightened his lips, "I misunderstood. Next time I will..."
"Did I say I wanted to sit?"
Among all the gods, why didn't anyone take care of this scourge of his?
Ling Chenyi couldn't help cursing in his heart, he finally understood Li Huaiyan's difficulties.
He had a wooden face. "Then why are you winking at me? Why are you glaring at me?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at him coldly and said two words softly, "Shut up."
"..." Ling Chenyi sat up straight stiffly, turned his neck towards Shen Changhe, and pulled out an unnatural smile.
Xiao Yuan, you are not loyal, so don't blame me for cheating you.
"Is Brother Shen well again?"
The room was quiet. Madam Shen and the eldest princess, who were talking, glanced over here, then turned their gazes away and continued chatting.
Shen Changhe was stunned,… "I have always been in good health, I don't need to take care of myself."
Ling Chenyi smiled, "But I heard that you were beaten with a stick a few days ago. I heard that you were carried back by someone. It was very serious. How are you now? Are you recovered?"
"..." The decent smile on Shen Changhe's lips froze, and he glanced at Xiao Yuan's faintly green face on the side without leaving a trace.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
"Really? Brother Shen is really dedicated to his duties. And Miss Shen was brave enough to risk her life to save the Fourth Prince. Chen Yi admires her very much."
Silence spread among the four people.
Ling Chenyi had a smile in his eyes and sipped his tea with his head lowered.
But the chill at your side, like a thorn in your back, requires great courage and guts to ignore.
Suddenly, Shen Anan spoke up, "What Ling Shizi said is true, but there are too few people in this world who are as clear about right and wrong as Ling Shizi. There are too few people who are grateful and virtuous, and most of them are ungrateful and unscrupulous."
The implication of this statement was too obvious. The corners of Shen Changhe's mouth twitched, and he tilted his head to look at his sister. It had been so long, why was his sister still holding a grudge?
One side of Xiao Yuan's face was almost as black as ink.
Haven't we all been settled by giving away the silver, rice and flour? Why does this woman always bring up old grudges?
Ling Chenyi was very happy and wanted to say something, but the words were suddenly stuck in his throat. His face gradually turned pale and blue because of his forbearance.
He rested his elbows on the table, covering half of his face with his palms, and looked at Xiao Yuan with a look of pain on his face.
Is it too late for him to admit his mistake?
Xiao Yuan stared at him coldly, then silently withdrew the sole of his boot that was pressing on his feet.
Ling Chenyi put his hands away, leaned over the table for a moment, and lowered his head to look at the flattened dark-patterned short boots.
"Yier, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?" the eldest princess suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I'm a little tired." Ling Chenyi curled the corners of his lips.
Next time he will never go on such a mission and let Li Huaiyan do it. He has had enough of this kind of dilemma.
“Then let’s go back and don’t disturb Madam Shen’s rest.”
