Chapter 85: Xu Nian's Small Punishment of Han Xiyin and Shen Yan's Scheme against Shang Jinzhi

Wang Pingting was very happy, and she thoughtfully helped Xu Nian collect all the prizes on the table.

"Sister, I admire you more and more. You can make a small fortune by attending the banquet. Come and have a look. There are many good things."

Xu Nian usually thought that his grandmother was money-obsessed enough, but he didn't expect that Wang Pingting was not much behind.

Han Xinyin felt so upset when she saw her jade pendant being taken away and being used by Wang Pingting to show off that her eyes turned red.

Xu Nian took out Han Xiyin's jade pendant, weighed it, and looked at it again. Seeing Han Xiyin's eyes getting redder, he said, "Since Miss Han lost the bet, she should accept the defeat. But after taking a look, I found that this jade pendant is indeed not very suitable for me."

Han Xiyin looked at Xu Nian in surprise, and then she said, "If Miss Han is willing, please take out the three most favorite pieces of jewelry in your makeup box and exchange them."

Han Xiyin didn't hesitate and ordered the maid beside her to get it, but she still said to Xu Nian: "If you change it today, Miss Xu must not regret it in the future."

Xu Nian threw the jade pendant over and said, "This is natural."

Han Xiyin hurriedly caught the jade pendant and muttered, "You don't know what it is."

Many people were discussing this. Everyone knew that the value of the jade pendant was incomparable to a few pieces of jewelry for girls, but Xu Nian turned a deaf ear to it. Only Luo Jinan looked at Xu Nian with more pity.

Although Han Xiyin was domineering, she kept her promise and really asked the maid to bring her favorite items. Xu Nian felt secretly happy when he saw her painful expression.

Wang Pingting was somewhat dissatisfied, and grumbled to Xu Nian, "She got it for free."

"Don't be angry, sister. These pieces of jewelry are enough to make her feel heartbroken for a while."

Wang Pingting looked at the jeweled hairpin for a few more times, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

On the other side, Mrs. Han, who received the headband from the maid, was very surprised for a while, and praised Xu Nian to Tian again and again. At the same time, she felt a little sorry in her heart. If Jinzhi's mistress was this young lady of the Xu family, she would feel better.

At this time, a maid hurriedly walked to Madam Han and whispered something to her. Madam Han's face changed drastically. She stood up suddenly, causing the table to move. The teacup on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Mrs. Han's action attracted the attention of the ladies nearby. Seeing Mrs. Han leave without saying a word, they thought something had happened. After looking at each other, several ladies stood up and followed her.

A group of people left in a rush. Xu Nian and the others naturally noticed it, but at this time a maid came over and explained: "The ladies have limited energy, so please go to the back room to rest for a while, and let the young masters and young ladies continue to play."

The ladies the old woman mentioned were all shocked and pale, looking at the disheveled girl kneeling on the floor of the room.

Especially Mrs. Liu who was standing at the back was so angry when she saw that the person was actually her own daughter that she turned away without uttering a breath. The scene was very chaotic for a moment. Only Shang Jinzhi who was sitting in front of the table remained calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Order was not restored until a maid woke up the fainted Madam Liu.

Madam Han sat aside with a sullen face and questioned, "I invited Madam Liu to attend the flower viewing banquet with good intentions today, but I didn't expect your good daughter to do such a shameless thing. I wonder how Madam Liu plans to deal with her."

Madam Liu was also very nervous. She had no idea her daughter was so brave. She ran to Shen Yan in a rage and beat her while crying, "You are trying to kill me. Why did you do this? Did someone force you to do this or..."

"Pah!" Before Madam Liu could finish her words, Madam Han said angrily, "Stop playing tricks in front of me. Your daughter has dirty thoughts in her mind. How can you, as a mother, be ignorant of this?"

Madam Liu stopped crying and turned to Madam Han, saying aggrievedly, "This... I really don't know, my poor daughter."

"Haha," Madam Han sneered, "Madam Liu, you'd better think it over. This girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage has already learned to give men aphrodisiacs. I wonder if Miss Shen will still be able to survive if the news gets out."

The ladies outside the door began to talk about this.

At this time, Shang Jinzhi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"No matter what, Miss Shen has lost her innocence to me. I am willing to hire Miss Shen as my mistress."

Hearing this, Shen Yan lowered her head a little, but Liu was a little overjoyed.

"Jinzhi, no."

Shang Jinzhi comforted Madam Han for a while before continuing, "It's just that my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, I need to inform my father before I can marry Miss Shen. Moreover, I will be returning to Shengdu soon and may not return to Wansheng County in the short term. I wonder if Miss Shen can wait."

Shen Yan bowed her head deeply, biting her lips to prevent her from crying, and calmed down and said, "My little girl is willing to follow you back to Shengdu."

"Ah? Is this little girl from the Shen family crazy? She hasn't even gotten married yet."

"Humph, you've done everything you shouldn't have done, and you're still missing a title."

"Well, luckily my daughter has no contact with her."

“…”

Shen Yan listened to the ridicule of the ladies outside, closed her eyes deeply, and couldn't help but recall what happened an hour ago.

She had prepared for today for a long time, and she had used almost all the money she had earned from rope weaving for Han Xiyin on today's arrangements and buying the bottle of "pink cream".

When the maid came to tell her that everything was ready, she was excited and nervous. She left the table under the pretext of going to the toilet. When she arrived at the door of the private room, she was even imagining whether Master Huifeng would call her "Yan'er" tenderly.

It was not until she opened the door and saw Shang Jinzhi sitting at the table sipping tea that she realized how ridiculous she was. She wanted to escape and run, but her feet walked inside unwillingly.

"You want to be my mistress?"

Shen Yan sat down on the ground with weak legs. Although she was afraid inside, she still expressed her feelings one by one, from the stunning glance two years ago to the sleepless nights she missed him every day. She thought she could get a little sympathy, but when she looked up, she was shocked.

What kind of eyes are those? They were tender and affectionate in my memory, but now they are cold.

"I'm asking you if you want to be my wife?"

Shen Yan shuddered and nodded blankly.

"Then come back to Shengdu with me and let me see if your methods are worthy of this position."

Before Shen Yan could recover from this sentence, she was hit by another sentence, making her hands and feet cold.

"Take off your clothes and kneel down." Shen Yan did not move, and the person at the top was not in a hurry either, and slowly fiddled with the tea lid.

The sounds seemed to hit Shen Yan's spine. She bent down and trembled as she unbuttoned her clothes one by one.

She knelt like this until the door of the closet was knocked open...

"No, I don't agree."

Mrs. Liu's shout awakened Shen Yan from the thought of running away.
