Chapter 27 A Strong Sense of Crisis
Seeing the solemn expression on Old Master Chen's face, Shanxi glanced at him and gently comforted him, "What are you afraid of? He doesn't want to kill me."
Sending so many nice things to please her, this person must have something in mind.
After being comforted by Shanxi, Old Master Chen relaxed and said with a smile, "It seems so. I was overthinking it."
Was he angry because he was worried?
No! He sensed a crisis, a deep sense of crisis!
"Go to the storeroom and get some money. Let's go for a walk." Shanxi's eyes flickered slightly as he stood up and walked out of the Shanxi residence.
Kyoto, the most prosperous place in the imperial court.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people.
Sun-hee wore a shimmering, flowing brocade dress, looking like a fairy descending to earth, which drew frequent glances from the crowd.
The young women, in particular, all stared at her dress with envy and amazement.
After returning to the Shan family, Shan Xi had never left the house because of her inferiority complex. This was the first time she had ever gone out.
Everyone was curious to see an unfamiliar face, especially since the person wearing a flowing, shimmering brocade dress was stunning.
"Whose daughter is this, that she can afford the shimmering brocade!"
"I heard that the Fifth Princess only has one shimmering brocade handkerchief, and she cherishes it like a treasure, reluctant to use it. This girl actually used it to make a full set of clothes, which shows that she is extraordinary."
"The emperor of the neighboring country will be coming to our dynasty soon. Recently, many important figures have arrived in the capital."
"Really? It seems this young lady must be from a prominent family."
Because of the shimmering brocade on Shanxi's body, everyone guessed that she was no ordinary person, so no one dared to provoke her.
On the contrary, the astute waiter had already respectfully welcomed Shanxi into the shop, hoping that Shanxi would spend lavishly in their store.
In a private room on the second floor, a group of people were sitting by the window drinking tea.
Upon noticing the commotion caused by Shanxi below, the man who was drinking tea frowned and asked curiously, "This young lady looks quite nice. Your Highness, is she from your dynasty?"
A person who can wear a whole piece of shimmering brocade is no ordinary person.
But he had never seen this person in the Southern Dynasty, so he must be from the Jun Dynasty.
Nice girl?
The crown prince looked curiously at the newcomer, and when he saw that it was Shanxi, his pupils shrank immediately, and he almost instinctively blurted out: "This... isn't this that good-for-nothing Shanxi from the Shan family?"
Seemingly uncertain, the crown prince even poked his head out.
"Shouting and yelling like this, how can you be so disrespectful in front of the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty!" Jun Yan held a fan and forcefully tapped the Crown Prince on the head.
The prince cried out in pain, clutching his head, a hint of grievance and resentment flashing in his eyes.
“You must not be so rude to your elders,” Jun Yan said, tapping the Crown Prince on the head again.
He then instructed the guards behind him: "Go and invite Miss Shan up for a cup of tea. Be sure to treat her with courtesy."
"yes."
Shanxi was strolling around the shop when she heard someone invite her to have tea. She was curious about who it was when she caught sight of Junyan by the window. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled and nodded, "Let's go."
A benevolent family?
The Southern Dynasty Crown Prince, sitting opposite the Crown Prince, narrowed his eyes, a hint of inquiry and curiosity flashing in them.
The Shan family is the foremost family in the dynasty, standing strong for a thousand years without ever falling.
It is said that the family almost fell apart several times, but the family always managed to have good luck. Either an elder saved the day, or they had some stroke of good fortune or a divine opportunity, and they were able to come back to life.
The first family of the current dynasty is no longer the Shan family. However, the Shan family is deeply rooted, and everyone is used to calling it the first family. Over time, it has become the first family in everyone's mind.
On the first floor, a carved wooden staircase wound its way up. Just as Shanxi was about to take a step up, she heard a sharp, sarcastic voice beside her: "Oh, isn't this the good-for-nothing heiress of the Shan family? What's wrong, finally decided to crawl out of your shell today?"
"Brothers, come and take a look! This is the legendary true daughter of the Shan family, Shanxi!"
"What a pity! Such a rich young lady, yet she can't cultivate. She's utterly useless!"
"I wonder if it's because the ancestors of the Shan family did too many heinous things and were punished, that they actually gave birth to..."
Before the man could finish speaking, his voice suddenly turned into a piercing scream: "Ahhh..."
"Let go, let go! Are you crazy?!" the man shouted in terror, as if his hand was about to be twisted off.
Old Master Chen stood to the side, glaring at him coldly: "How dare you disrespect Miss! You deserve to die!"
After saying that, Old Master Chen exerted force with both hands, and the man flew out like a stray dog, crashing heavily to the ground with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Ah...you madman, how dare you lay a hand on me, I...I won't let you get away with this!" the man said, making a move to call for help.
"Who is he?" Shanxi asked, arms crossed, looking curious.
"The prime minister's foolish son: Chu Lingxiao," Old Master Chen said with a disdainful look.
"No, no, no!" Shanxi stretched out her finger and gently waved it in front of Old Master Chen. "Don't insult the word 'stupid'."
In her eyes, the word "silly" also carries a touch of naivety and cuteness.
Chu Lingxiao is purely evil; he has absolutely no connection to being stupid.
"Shan Yurou, where are you trying to hide?" Shanxi said, suddenly kicking a chair hard.
As if it had eyes, the chair flew to Shan Yurou and steadily blocked her path.
She knew it! The original owner had never left home, so how could these people know her? It turns out that Shan Yurou was teaching her from behind!
"Sister... Sister, why did you come out?" Shan Yurou looked at Shan Xi with a nervous expression, her eyes like those of a frightened deer.
Seeing Shanxi dressed in a gorgeous, shimmering brocade, Shan Yurou was so jealous she almost ground her teeth to powder.
She couldn't help but say a few more words to that group of people. Originally, she only wanted to smear Shanxi behind his back, but she never expected that Shanxi would actually come to her. How could she not teach him a lesson?
Unexpectedly, Old Master Chen was so protective of Shanxi. He only said a few words to Shanxi, but Old Master Chen immediately took action. Such bullying and abusing his power was truly excessive.
"What? You have the nerve to show your face, but I don't?" Shanxi crossed her arms and looked at Shanyurou with a mocking expression.
He choked on his words, looking like a wilted eggplant, his face extremely pale.
She put on a pitiful look, her eyes slightly red, as if Sun-hee had bullied her.
This affected manner stirred a protective instinct in many men present, who cast resentful glances at him as if he were some heinous villain.
