"Shen Yunjiao".
Hearing that familiar, deep voice behind her, Shen Yunjiao stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and saw Pei Zhixuan say to her expressionlessly, "Come here."
He was doing it as if he were summoning a kitten or puppy.
Shen Yunjiao rolled her eyes inwardly, and said with a forced smile, "What brings you here?"
After a moment of silence, Pei Zhixuan asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
"My chest hurts, it's because you made me angry." Shen Yunjiao glanced at him unhappily, "Go inside and keep your good Ziyu company."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhixuan pursed his lips into a thin line.
After a long pause, he spoke coldly, "If it really hurts, then stay here and let the doctor take a good look at you."
Shen Yunjiao curled the corners of her lips into a half-smile and said, "I'll stay here and watch you two being so lovey-dovey, so Fang Ziyu can show off a bit?"
Pei Zhixuan's gaze deepened, his face maintaining its usual coldness, and a dangerous glint even flashed in his eyes.
He slowly said, "Ziyu is not that kind of person."
Shen Yunjiao knew that Pei Zhixuan would subconsciously protect his woman, "So you mean I lied and bullied her?"
Pei Zhixuan was taken aback, but did not refute.
Shen Yunjiao wanted to say that you didn't need to answer.
The novel describes the male protagonist as having extreme hatred for the female protagonist at this point. The only time he truly realized he had fallen in love with her was after she shielded him from an arrow with her own body.
That kind of love wasn't true love; it was more like the male protagonist giving the female protagonist pity.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunjiao couldn't help but complain in her heart: How can Pei Zhixuan be so useless? He has asked someone to save him time and time again, and after being saved, he wants to repay the favor with his body.
Rotten cucumber.
Shen Yunjiao said calmly, "Your Highness, I'm glad you like it."
"Shen Yunjiao!" Pei Zhixuan grew increasingly displeased: "Haven't you done enough things like this before?"
"When you see someone approaching me, your first reaction is to throw a tantrum, followed by rude remarks."
You know in your heart how many people you've made cry.
That was the original owner of the body, not me!
There was no point in explaining to this scoundrel, so Shen Yunjiao turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zhixuan used the most thuggish method. He took a long stride and pushed Shen Yunjiao against the wall.
Although he had first used his large hand to support the back of Shen Yunjiao's head.
Her back still bumped against the hard, gray-blue wall, not too hard, not too soft.
Shen Yunjiao couldn't help but let out a soft snort. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes, now tinged with anger, appeared quite vivid.
From Lin Mama's perspective, Prince Pei and Shen Yunjiao were extremely close. Her face flushed, and she silently walked towards the carriage.
"Pei Zhixuan, are you crazy?" Shen Yunjiao said through gritted teeth, "Let me go."
"Shen Yunjiao." Pei Zhixuan called her name softly, his gaze deep and unreadable.
"Are you doing this to make me pay more attention to you?"
Shen Yunjiao was stunned. What was he saying?
Pei Zhixuan then lifted her chin with his hand and looked down into Shen Yunjiao's eyes.
"Pei Zhixuan, you're being far too presumptuous!"
Upon hearing Shen Yunjiao's words, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. He said, "Am I the one who's being delusional?"
"After court today, your father called me over."
"He said that if I dared to favor others and upset you, he could petition His Majesty to dismiss me from my post."
Shen Yunjiao was truly shocked this time. Since she transmigrated here, she had never contacted her father.
She looked up at Pei Zhixuan: "There's a misunderstanding here."
"What misunderstanding? Isn't it just the message you sent to your father?"
Pei Zhixuan's gaze shifted to Shen Yunjiao's rosy lips; with just a slight movement, he could easily kiss them.
The surrounding air became somewhat humid.
"Shen Yunjiao, is this what you want?"
Pei Zhixuan held the back of Shen Yunjiao's head with his hand, his slender fingers tightening slightly.
As he subtly pressed down on Shen Yunjiao, he leaned down and pressed against her.
"Smack!"
A clear slap echoed in the alley, creating a moderate sound.
Shen Yunjiao's palm and all five fingers were slightly numb. She must have used all her strength just now. A bright red palm print instantly appeared on Pei Zhixuan's smooth cheek.
Shen Yunjiao pushed away the stunned Pei Zhixuan without hesitation.
“Everyone says that Prince Pei is upright and honest, but I think he is no different from those lecherous men.”
Pei Zhixuan's eyes turned cold. "What did you say?"
Shen Yunjiao's usual calm demeanor vanished. She looked at Pei Zhixuan and said, word by word, "Listen to me carefully. The Shen Yunjiao who loved you was already dead the moment I received the news that you were going to bring another woman back to the manor."
"You killed her true feelings with your own hands."
"I wouldn't say I'm annoyed by you right now."
"But I definitely won't like it, so please don't touch me again."
After she finished speaking, Pei Zhixuan felt as if something was stuck in his throat.
It was uncomfortable and stinging.
The burning pain on his face reminded him that what Shen Yunjiao said was true.
He should be happy that Shen Yunjiao no longer loves him.
Thinking this, Pei Zhixuan wiped the little bit of bright red from the corner of his mouth.
But at this moment, his heart felt as heavy as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on it.
Pei Zhixuan suddenly fell silent, as if he had been stunned by Shen Yunjiao's slap.
It wasn't until Fang Ziyu stood at the door and timidly called out, "Your Highness," that things changed.
He seemed to wake from a dream, snorted coldly, and walked towards Fang Ziyu without looking back.
Seeing Pei Zhixuan and Fang Ziyu walking back, Shen Yunjiao suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained and leaned against the wall.
After secretly watching the young master go inside, Granny Lin hurriedly ran over.
"Has the young lady lost her mind? How could she treat the young master like this?"
"Granny, I don't want him to touch me," Shen Yunjiao said coldly.
"But that slap was so fierce, will the young master hold a grudge against you?" Granny Lin's expression revealed a lot of worry, but she slowly helped Shen Yunjiao walk towards the carriage.
"Granny, I have a question for you."
Shen Yunjiao climbed into the carriage and questioned Granny Lin in a very serious tone for the first time.
"Was it you and Fuxia who went to deliver the message to my father?"
Lin Mama immediately lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, rubbing the hem of her clothes with her hands uneasily: "Yes, the young master treats the young lady badly, and Fuxia and I couldn't help but ask the master to make a decision."
Shen Yunjiao's gaze fell on Lin Mama's calloused hands.
Suddenly, the image of Lin's mother sewing clothes for her by candlelight flashed through her mind.
Well, they did this to seek justice for themselves.
"Granny, I don't blame you, but please don't do similar things again."
Things are now just as Pei Zhixuan said.
Prime Minister Shen is using his power to force Pei Zhixuan to get closer to him, which will only increase Pei Zhixuan's resentment towards him and the Shen family.
Anger accumulates slowly, and if it accidentally explodes, it can become uncontrollable.
Shen Yunjiao had already witnessed Pei Zhixuan's ruthless methods in the novel.
Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time.
If Fang Ziyu had been more proactive and removed her from the position of Crown Prince's wife sooner, perhaps she could have escaped her misery sooner.
"Granny Lin, when you return to the Shen residence later, please send a message to my brother and ask him to come and see me when he has time."
