Chapter 26 Another person is trying to steal his mistress!
Shanxiong sneered repeatedly. He was also blinded by anger. But then he thought that if he had to choose, one was to compete with his elder brother for the position of family head, and the other was to compete with his elder brother's useless granddaughter for the position of family head. Obviously, the latter was much easier and simpler!
Shan Mingyuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked excitedly, "Second Uncle has a solution?"
However, Shanxiong did not answer Shanmingyuan, but looked at Shanyurou: "I heard that among the betrothal gifts His Highness the Crown Prince gave you was a Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Yurou's face paled, and she hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, it's not that I'm unwilling to give it, but the betrothal gifts are all in Shanxi's hands now, I..."
"Go ask her for it, just say it's for urgent use, it's your own betrothal gift, what's wrong with using it temporarily?" Shanxiong said nonchalantly.
Shan Yurou was about to refuse when she saw Shan Mingyuan winking at her: "Let's give it a try!"
The betrothal gifts were originally intended for Yu Rou; we absolutely cannot let them fall into the hands of that good-for-nothing Shanxi!
"Yes." Shan Yurou reluctantly bowed slightly.
Shan Yurou reluctantly arrived at the main courtyard, only to see servants carrying boxes, one by one, into the inner room.
"Wait! Isn't this the Floating Light Brocade made by Master Wu himself?" Shan Yurou's eyes widened suddenly, a hint of greed and eagerness flashing in them.
"And Longquan inkpad!"
"A sandalwood screen!"
She spoke kindly and her eyes were full of joy.
Could it be that Grandpa realized his mistake and bought this to make amends to her?
However, the person who delivered the box was carrying a knife and wearing armor, clearly a member of the military camp.
Could it be the Crown Prince?
Thinking of this, Shan Yurou's eyes were filled with joy.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince loves her the most!
She rushed forward with a smile, about to grab the shimmering brocade in the box, but was suddenly stopped by another hand. "How dare you! Take your filthy hands off me, don't get Miss Shan's clothes dirty."
Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a guard in full armor staring at her fiercely.
Shan Yurou felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and a nameless panic surged through her like a tide.
That look was the kind of coldness and bloodlust that only someone who had crawled out of a pile of corpses could have. Just one glance sent chills down her spine, as if she were in an ice cellar!
"Miss Shan? That's me!" A look of wild joy flashed across Shan Yurou's face, and she almost turned around and rushed over to grab it.
"Pah! A fake, and you're already pushing your luck!" The guard swung his hand, sending Shan Yuru flying. "This is for Miss Shanxi, not for you!"
After the guard finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue carrying the load inside; his movements were swift and efficient.
Shanxi?
Shan Yurou couldn't hold back any longer. Her expression changed drastically, and she shouted sharply, "Impossible! She's a good-for-nothing. How could you give her such a nice thing?"
The shimmering brocade, as thin as a cicada's wing and sparkling like water, makes one feel like a fairy descending to earth once worn, something countless women dream of.
Even the current Empress cannot buy it, how could a good-for-nothing like Princess Shanxi be worthy of it!
etc!
The shimmering brocade isn't just expensive, it's practically impossible to buy. How did these people manage to acquire it?
Shan Yurou stared intently at the man, and upon noticing his waist tag, she shouted sharply, "Halt! Whose men are you? Could you be His Highness the Crown Prince's guards?"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, I am the one with kind words and gentle words, the true Crown Princess!"
"If you're blind and deliver it to the wrong place, I'll chop off your heads!"
She was so gentle and kind that she was trembling all over, her chest heaving violently, as if she wanted to vent all her anger.
She watched helplessly as the shimmering brocade was about to be delivered to Shanxi's room, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, afraid that Shanxi would touch her shimmering brocade!
"Who told you we're that good-for-nothing Crown Prince's men?" the guard sneered, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Shan Yurou never expected that even after she invoked the Crown Prince's name, this group of people would not only not be afraid, but would also curse the Crown Prince. She immediately shouted, "How dare you! You dare to call His Highness the Crown Prince a piece of trash!"
"Tch..." The guard turned away disdainfully, about to take the things inside, when he saw Old Master Chen come out in person.
Upon seeing Shan Yurou arrive, Old Master Chen's brows furrowed instantly: "What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, Old Master Chen looked at the Longquan inkpad beside him and urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take it in; Miss is waiting for it urgently."
Upon hearing this, the servant carrying the Longquan inkpad hurriedly brought it in.
"Longquan inkpad? She's a good-for-nothing, how dare she use such good inkpad!" Shan Yurou's expression completely broke down.
That Longquan inkpad is priceless. To please her grandfather, she begged the Crown Prince for a long time before she finally got a small box. But what was just sent in were several large boxes!
"She's not worthy. You're not even a concubine's daughter, how could you be worthy?" Old Master Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.
They kept saying she wasn't worthy, as if her gentle and kind nature made her so noble and deserving of all these fine things.
Shan Yu was trembling with anger as she watched as boxes of fine things were delivered into Shanxi's room. She turned and left in a huff, her footsteps stomping heavily on the ground as if she wanted to shatter the stone bricks.
"Can't stand it already? There's more to come." Old Master Chen raised his lips smugly and chuckled as he carried the items into the house one by one.
Under the meticulous arrangement of Old Master Chen, Shanxi's originally simple room was instantly transformed into a magnificent and radiant space.
After bathing and burning incense, Shanxi changed into a magnificent robe made of shimmering brocade and asked with some surprise, "When did you take my measurements?"
Xiao Chen has her size, but that was in her previous life, the size of Shan Xi. He shouldn't have it.
"This...this looks like the Floating Light Brocade! Miss, when I went to buy the Floating Light Brocade, they said it was already sold out. I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. This...this isn't what I bought." Old Master Chen looked constipated.
He didn't want to admit that he lacked the ability, but he indeed failed to buy the Floating Light Brocade.
"You didn't buy it?" Shanxi frowned slightly, about to say something, when a servant outside reported, "Reporting to the master, a cook has come to the door, claiming that you hired him."
cook?
Shanxi's already furrowed brows furrowed even more. Just as she was about to get up, she saw Old Master Chen open the door first: "What's the cook's name? Is it Yipintian?"
The servant was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "How did you know?"
“Miss, this is the best chef in the world that I invited three days ago, but he refused me.” Old Master Chen was also a little confused.
This is both the Floating Light Brocade and the First Grade Heavenly Realm. Who on earth is doing good deeds anonymously?
Shanxi stroked the gold trim on his cuff and smiled: "Isn't it good that someone is doing things for you? Go on, I'm hungry too."
"Yes." Old Master Chen clenched his fist unwillingly.
He couldn't understand how someone could be more capable than him.
Moreover, the other person took every step ahead of him, as if they knew what he was going to do... No! The other person understood Miss, even better than he did, which is why they precisely took every step ahead of him!
He came for the young lady!
Old Master Chen's expression changed, and his face visibly darkened.
