Although this Eighth Prince had nothing to do with her, Chen Heng smiled happily as she looked at these girls exuding youthful vigor.
"Madam Chen, the girl surrounded by the crowd in front is the legitimate daughter of Prince Qing's Mansion." Qiu Yi reminded.
Chen Heng looked over and saw a seventeen-year-old girl with a pure and clear appearance. She was wearing a crabapple-red dress that made her skin look as white as snow. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was still quite eye-catching among the other girls.
At the same time, Chen Heng also saw Liu Zhiyue. She was standing with the daughter of the Prince Qing's Mansion, talking and laughing, and seemed to have integrated very well.
Look at this, this is what a daughter of a royal family should look like.
Speaking of which, Liu Zhiyue and the eldest daughter of Prince Qing's Mansion are cousins.
"Madam Shen, where are you going?" Qiu Yi saw Madam Shen turn around and leave, and hurriedly followed her.
"We've seen enough here, let's sit on the stage and watch Cuju." Chen Heng was not afraid of meeting Liu Zhiyue, but judging from Mei'er's expression, the little girl might not have figured it out yet, so she didn't bump into her.
More than a dozen platforms were filled with people, all watching the Cuju match below with great enthusiasm. The rule today was that both men and women could play, but of course, the rules for men and women still had to be followed.
Chen Heng looked around and saw that the platforms in the middle were all occupied by one family. The one in the center belonged to Prince Qing's Mansion, and to the left and right were the various families. Her platform was quite scattered, with a dozen straw mats placed on the ground. The girls were sitting on them watching the game, but it was hard to see clearly, they were just there for fun.
As soon as Shen Heng sat down, a maid brought over a tray of tea and snacks.
"Thank you." Shen Heng thanked him out of habit and started eating happily.
Just as Shen Heng finished a pastry and was about to enjoy some tea, a familiar voice rang out. It was Shen Xian, the eldest sister of the Shen family.
Chen Xian thought she had seen it wrong, but when she looked closer, she saw that it was her second sister: "Heng'er."
"Big sister?" Shen Heng was not surprised to see Shen Xian here. She and Xie Jian were able to follow Meng Xuanlang here, and given Shen Xian and Liu Zhiyue's current relationship, they could also come here by themselves.
Chen Xian's face didn't show the usual joy of seeing her sister. After being rejected several times in a row, no one could be happy. She said coldly, "What a coincidence."
"Yes. Big sister, please sit next to me." Chen Heng pointed to the empty seat next to her.
Chen Xian looked at the girls around her and said, "This is not the place to talk. Come out and talk with me."
Shen Heng: “…” There was really nothing to say. She had said everything she needed to say, but refusing in front of so many people was indeed not giving Shen Xian face, so she had no choice but to get up and follow him out.
After getting off the stage, the two of them headed towards the back where there were fewer people.
"You don't want your parents, and you don't even want to contact your eldest sister?" Chen Xian was furious when she thought of the things her husband brought home. This second sister was really heartless.
"I just don't want to put Big Sister in a difficult position." Chen Heng smiled faintly. "My parents and I have already severed ties. How can Big Sister not feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle? It's better for us to have no contact and be happy."
"Do you know what kind of life Mother, I, and Third Sister are living now? Heng'er, you are too selfish."
Shen Heng was silent. It seemed that the eldest sister had forgotten what kind of life her second sister had led before.
Chen Xian said in great distress, "If she were not a daughter of Prince Ning's Mansion, I'm afraid your elder sister would have been divorced by the Meng family."
"Why did the Meng family divorce you?"
"Why else? They blamed me for Aunt Zhou's death."
Chen Heng suddenly thought of the gossip she heard when she bought persimmons in Shancheng that day: 'I heard that the Meng family in your Shangkeng Village wanted to divorce their daughter-in-law, and that the mother-in-law's sister died because of this daughter-in-law'. She didn't expect it to be true.
