Chapter 154 The First Kindness Without Expecting Reward
Shen Heng's steps were particularly relaxed every day. For three years, all things were moving towards an unknown but satisfactory direction.
No matter whether it was Xie Jian, the eldest sister-in-law, Min'er, or Liu Zhiyue, including her, no one stopped moving forward.
Just when Shen Heng was about to hum a song, a familiar old woman came up to her and said, "Madam Shen."
"Are you Madam Liao?" asked a woman from Prince Ning's mansion.
Madam Liao smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen, please remember that my daughter invites you." Then she pointed to the teahouse behind her.
The teahouse in front of her was the place where Madam Tang invited her to have tea that day. Shen Heng only then realized that there was a carriage from Prince Ning's Mansion parked at the door. She raised her head slightly and saw Liu Zhiyue sitting on the second floor, who was also looking at her.
Do you have to treat someone to tea when you meet them? That's really polite.
However, what Shen Heng didn't expect was that after entering the room, Shen Xian and Shen Yan were also there, with worried looks on their faces.
Chen Yan was still kneeling in front of Liu Zhiyue, seemingly pleading for something. When she saw Chen Heng coming in, her face changed and her voice changed: "Why are you here?"
Chen Xian was also a little surprised that it was the second sister. Just now, Miss Zhiyue whispered to the nanny, and it seemed that she was going to look for the second sister.
Um, this meeting is a bit complicated. Is it necessary to bring her here? Chen Heng looked at Liu Zhiyue, who was sitting upright on a stool sipping tea. Her demeanor had improved a lot compared to the last time they met. The trace of insecurity in her eyes was replaced by aloofness. She was wearing a rich and elegant dress, looking very stylish.
"My dear Miss An Tu." Chen Heng gave a simple greeting.
"Please sit down." Seeing Chen Heng, Liu Zhiyue had a faint smile in her eyes.
Shen Xian and Shen Yan's eyes shifted back and forth between the two of them.
"Why is my second sister here?" Shen Xian quickly put on a smile on her face, stood up and wanted to take Shen Heng's arm affectionately.
Chen Heng avoided it without leaving a trace.
"Sister Zhiyue knows my second sister?" Shen Yan didn't hide her dislike for this unintelligent second sister at all.
Liu Zhiyue slowly tightened her hands on her knees. The contempt in Chen Yan's eyes still affected her a little, but one day, she would completely abandon the past. "Not only do we know each other, we have a very close relationship. Right, Ah Heng?"
Chen Heng glanced at her coldly, "Oh, Liu Zhiyue, I advise you to be kind."
Liu Zhiyue suddenly felt in a good mood. She took a sip of tea and said, "Chen Yan, you want to be the Eighth Prince's concubine? That's wishful thinking. You are just a merchant girl from a small place. Even being a concubine is a compliment to you."
Shen Heng was slightly surprised. The Shen family actually set their sights on the Eighth Prince? This was completely out of the question.
"But the Eighth Prince looked at me a few more times that day." Chen Yan said unwillingly.
"So what? Believe it or not, he might not recognize you even if you stand in front of him now." Liu Zhiyue looked at this former sister with a smile. She had been doted on by her father since she was a child and was praised for her beauty. Did she really think she was that outstanding?
Chen Xian, who was standing by, thought of her father's request and said with a stiff upper lip, "Zhiyue, we don't have any other ideas. We just hope that you can let Yan'er get closer to the Eighth Prince. For the sake of our past friendship, I beg you."
"Friendship?" Liu Zhiyue seemed to have heard something mocking, her eyes gleaming with sarcasm. "Does our friendship mean you can take advantage of me? Sister Chen Xian, I've arranged everything for your husband, your father's mother, and even your father's mistress. Isn't it enough that I've been used?"
Shen Xian wanted to defend herself, but didn't know what to say.
