Chapter 90 I ask you, do you still have me in your heart?
Su Xuanmao glanced at Shen Ruixue, his eyes unusually encouraging.
Lu Qingjia watched as the beautiful older sister was taken away, and then saw that the Crown Prince, with his sinister gaze, had also guessed "six," and she felt extremely resentful.
Just before the embroiderer left, she told him that he hadn't gotten the "six" right and therefore wouldn't be allowed in.
Lu Qingjia felt so wronged.
Now even the man who's even worse than the bad brother has gotten a "six" and can be in the same place as the pretty sister, which makes him feel really bad.
Lu Qingjia then turned her attention to the woman whom the pretty older sister called "little sister".
Shen Ruixue also met Su Xuanmao's gaze and knew that Su Xuanmao was telling her to hurry up, which made her a little flustered.
She picked up the dice and tossed them behind her, hoping that Lady Luck would smile upon her at that moment.
But fate seemed determined to play a cruel joke on her; the first time, she didn't land a "six".
Shen Ruixue instructed Mingyue Qingfeng to pick up the dice and give them to her. With only two chances left, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Shen Ruixue took the dice from Mingyue Qingfeng's hand, closed her eyes, and, imitating Su Xuanmao, casually tossed them behind her. But…
Mingyue Qingfeng watched the dice roll on the ground, finally rolling to a "one" facing up.
Mingyue had served Shen Ruixue since childhood, and seeing that Shen Ruixue still hadn't hit the target, she felt sorry for her.
Qingfeng quickly picked up the dice from the ground and handed them to Shen Ruixue.
Shen Ruixue turned her head and saw the less-than-pleasant expressions on the two faces, knowing that she had probably failed again. She glanced at the dice and sighed.
Whatever.
This time, Shen Ruixue really did take it easy.
She casually tossed the die behind her, thinking that this last attempt was bound to fail, and didn't even look at it when it landed.
But then a gasp rang in my ears.
Mingyue and Qingfeng walked happily to Shen Ruixue's side, especially Mingyue, whose joy almost jumped out of her eyes.
"Your Highness, you've won this time!"
Shen Ruixue turned around in surprise, and was stunned when she saw that the face up of the die was "six".
Just when I felt hopeless, it unexpectedly won me the lottery.
The embroiderer standing nearby had also witnessed the entire incident. She respectfully approached Shen Ruixue and said, "Miss, two guests have already obtained the half-price discount. For your convenience, you may have to wait a little longer before you can go in."
Upon hearing this, Mingyue and Qingfeng looked somewhat embarrassed, and they both turned their gazes to Shen Ruixue.
Mingyue, in particular, secretly worried for the embroiderer.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruixue's eyes darkened slightly, a fleeting look of melancholy passing through them.
She finally sighed and waved her hand, "It's alright, I'll just wait here."
Mingyue and Qingfeng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Mingyue's face was filled with heartache.
She had been with Shen Ruixue for so many years. If this had happened back in the Shen family, Shen Ruixue would probably have reacted violently on the spot.
Now that the second young lady has married into the royal family, her temperament has been gradually smoothed out and tempered by the Crown Prince and Consort Shu, which makes her feel a little sorry for her.
After all, the second young lady treated her very well.
Shen Ruixue also noticed the heartache on Mingyue's face, and she smiled slightly. But her hands clenched her sleeves tightly.
The scars exposed in her sleeves constantly reminded her that she needed to control her temper.
She looked at the tightly closed door, wondering what Su Xuanmao and Shen Pingjin were doing inside.
-
The embroiderer led Su Xuanmao into the room. Upon seeing Aunt Yuyan standing with Shen Pingjin, she immediately gave a slight curtsy and stepped back.
Su Xuanmao frowned, but he didn't care about that and strode towards Chen Pingjin.
Shen Pingjin was chatting with Aunt Yuyan when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her.
She turned her head, and when she saw that the person who came was Su Xuanmao, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.
Su Xuanmao, who was walking towards him, naturally noticed it, and a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes.
Ignoring the fact that Aunt Yuyan was still present, he walked straight up to Chen Pingjin, stretched out his large hands, and grabbed her wrists tightly.
The woman's wrists were fair and soft. Su Xuanmao was slightly taken aback, and a wicked thought arose in his mind.
Seeing the girl's delicate, porcelain-white face and the look of surprise and trepidation on her face, he gradually tightened his grip on her wrist.
Shen Pingjin never expected that Su Xuanmao, as the Crown Prince, would dare to do such a thing in front of Aunt Yuyan.
She couldn't help but shout, "Su Xuanmao, how dare you!"
Su Xuanmao acted as if he hadn't heard, and even had a hint of pleasure on his face.
Aunt Yuyan knew about the entanglement between the two, but she was just a seamstress in the Imperial Capital. On one side was the Regent's Consort, and on the other was His Highness the Crown Prince. It wouldn't do her any good to offend either of them.
She had no choice but to act as a mediator: "Your Highness, did you also hit six?"
Su Xuanmao did not loosen his grip on Chen Pingjin's wrist and murmured, "Hmm."
Shen Pingjin: "Su Xuanmao, what's wrong with you now? Let go of me! I'm the Regent's Consort now, and I have nothing to do with you anymore!"
Su Xuanmao's expression remained relatively calm, but after hearing a certain word, his expression twisted slightly: "So what if she's the Regent's Consort? Xiao Jin, you see, your resistance isn't that intense now. You must still have feelings for me, right?"
Chen Pingjin laughed angrily, "Su Xuanmao, are you shameless?"
As he spoke, he raised his free left hand and slapped Su Xuanmao hard across the left cheek.
Aunt Yuyan was shocked; this was the Crown Prince…
Unexpectedly, after seeing Shen Pingjin's actions, Su Xuanmao didn't even try to dodge, but instead took the slap head-on.
Chen Pingjin used considerable force, and Su Xuanmao even felt a slight numbness on his left cheek.
But so what?
His gaze was as dark and gloomy as a torn cloud. He grabbed Chen Pingjin's wrist, forcing her to look him in the eye: "You didn't deny it, so does that mean you admit you still love me?"
Since her rebirth, Shen Pingjin had always avoided Su Xuanmao like the plague. But now, being so close to him and smelling his familiar scent, Shen Pingjin felt a churning in her stomach.
She wanted to retort, but she felt a dull pain in her left atrium.
This seems to be a subconscious reaction of the body.
Seeing Su Xuanmao sad and upset, this original body would also feel sad.
Shen Pingjin couldn't help but feel that she was really stupid. It turned out that in her previous life, she really did compare fish eyes to pearls and was infatuated with this person who only had power and status in his eyes.
The woman in front of him had her brows furrowed tightly. Su Xuanmao was taken aback. He hadn't missed the fleeting resentment and longing in her clear eyes.
