Chapter 395: Forty-nine episodes of pleasure and one episode of frustration
"What do you want?" Shen Che pushed Jiang Qiyun away and walked over, reaching out to grab Xu Shujian's collar and pull him aside to reminisce about the past.
But Xu Shujian dodged it by just turning sideways.
"Prince, no, it should be the Prince of Xiling. This is not Xiling but Dayu, or more precisely, the Qiao family. The prince is behaving recklessly here. Doesn't he know that this is causing trouble for the Qiao family and the second young lady?"
Xu Shujian spoke righteously. Anyone who heard such words here and looked at such a clear face would scold Chen Che for being unreasonable.
Chen Che understood him, and he also understood that he said this not to persuade himself, but to step on him to win Wan Yan's attention.
He is used to pretending to be weak to attract other people's attention. Using this trick is so despicable!
So shameless!
Why didn’t I realize he was so disgusting when I was in Xiling before?
He looks like a pure-hearted man with no interest in women, but in fact he is just a huge bitch!
It's disgusting to see him!
Xu Shujian and Shen Che confronted each other, and Jiang Qiyun was left aside and ignored.
The noble young man who had always been pampered was now being ignored. Although he was a love rival, he still felt unhappy.
"Can you two get out of here? Chen Che, you have a post from the Qiao family, why do you come here so shamelessly? Xu Shujian, you... you have a post, how dare you come here? Don't you know that you are of low status, and you should work hard to do your job well and get promoted?"
Jiang Qiyun pointed and said, "Sister Wanyan's cousin is the top scholar and he is working hard to get promoted, but you, a third place scholar, just show off your attractive face, right?"
Everyone gasped. In their eyes, shouldn't men quarrel and then fight? Why were their curses more nasty than the last? They were like girls snatching customers from a brothel.
Xu Shujian's expression remained calm. He was furious at the scolding, but he, who was being scolded, was quite calm.
"Thank you, young marquis, for your guidance and planning for my future, but the Qiao family has sent me an invitation, and if I don't come, I would be ungrateful. How dare I be so unreasonable?"
Chen Che sneered: "Even if the Qiao family didn't send you an invitation, you would definitely come here. What are you pretending for?"
Xu Shujian explained calmly, "No matter how you talk about something that never happened, it's all a rumor. Prince Xiling is a noble man, why would he slander others right away? Is he being unreasonable or is he just being arrogant and taking advantage of his power to bully others?"
Xu Shujian was not defeated at all, but the two men were choked and speechless, their faces turning pale with anger.
The two men looked furious. If they hadn't been in the back garden of the Qiao family's old house, Jiang Qiyun and Shen Che would have united their forces without hesitation and skinned Xu Shujian alive.
Looking at him at this moment, he is calm and composed, with a gentle and calm bookish air like the fragrance of tea, and his elegant temperament is natural and particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Qiyun and Shen Che's faces turned pale with anger, and the two became even angrier when comparing themselves.
Jiang Qiyun gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Wanyan, didn't he say that Minister Qiao was looking for you? Go quickly."
After Sister Wanyan leaves, he will definitely beat this bastard so badly that he will never be able to leave the house for the rest of his life.
Xu Shujian heard the danger in the voice and turned around to explain gently, "Second Miss, please forgive me for offending you. I just thought that the quarrel between the young marquis and the Prince of Xiling might offend you, so I lied. I hope you will forgive me."
Everyone knew that Xu Shujian was a disciple of Minister Qiao, so it was not surprising that a boy from a poor family would flatter his mentor's daughter so much.
Who doesn’t want to climb up?
Xu Shujian won the first place in the imperial examination and was a third place in the imperial examination. He was outstanding in everything except his family background, with a graceful and elegant appearance.
He was chosen as a son-in-law by a wealthy family. He was simply the perfect person and there was no one else like him in the whole capital.
But everyone knew that the Queen liked Miss Qiao II very much. To be more precise, she wanted Miss Qiao II to be her daughter-in-law and wanted to become relatives with the Qiao family.
What he is interested in is the Qiao family behind Qiao Wanyan, and the family's connections and status.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xu Shujian to become the son-in-law of the Qiao family.
Jiang Qiyun's plan failed. "You are really tired of living after deceiving Sister Wanyan!"
Qiao Wanyan naturally didn't want to be unreasonable in front of everyone. "I appreciate Mr. Xu's kindness, how could I ignore your kindness and blame you. Today is my cousin's birthday party, and I don't want a good birthday party to be ruined because of me, so I hope the young marquis and the Prince of Xiling will stop arguing."
She continued in a gentle voice, "The front hall has prepared the best Keemun black tea. Please move over and taste the tea. Also, try the tea collected by my second uncle."
Qiao Wanyan extended her hand, "Please."
Qiao Wanyan took the three people away, and the back garden suddenly became quiet again, without the scene of "a shrew scolding in the street" being played out.
He Baozhu exclaimed in admiration, "Sister Wanyan is indeed a model of a noble lady. Her few words were like a gentle spring breeze, and she resolved the tense atmosphere without causing any trouble and embarrassing everyone. Gentleness is indeed a kind of strength."
Although He Baozhu's biological mother was of low status and died early, she was a royal descendant after all, and her words carried much weight compared to the group of people in front of her.
These words caused everyone to praise him.
Except for the political enemies of the Qiao family and those who think highly of themselves, no one would openly oppose the Qiao family.
Some people echo the compliments, while others remain neutral. This is a survival skill that most people have learned subtly by following their family's stance.
Shen Lingyi felt disgusted when she heard those compliments. Is this how women in the capital behave?
Hypocrisy, each one more hypocritical than the other!
Such a vicious person could actually praise her for being gentle. This princess is really blind.
He Baozhu knew that Qiao Wanyan was not a gentle woman. After interacting with her in private, she naturally realized that she was not gentle. It could even be said that she was cruel and ruthless in some things.
But this kind of character is like the vicious female supporting role in a TV series, who is happy for 49 episodes and then frustrated for one episode. Where can there be so much truth, goodness and beauty in the world? People with great goodness will sacrifice themselves for others.
What's more, this is not a TV series. Why would a bad kid have to have a bad ending?
Besides, appearance is justice, no matter black or white, as long as the appearance is beautiful, it will be colorful!
He Baozhu is the ultimate face lover. In modern times, all she pays attention to on her mobile phone are various pretty girls. Asking her to balance the two is fundamentally crooked.
