Chapter 3 The Young Lady 3
When Prime Minister Luo heard that Luo Cheng and Shangguan Wan'er had been bitten by poisonous snakes and died from the poison, he was incredulous.
He assumed that Luo Cheng and Shangguan Wan'er were bitten by poisonous snakes in the teahouse, so he immediately had someone investigate the teahouse. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the teahouse was actually owned by Luo Cheng.
The people in the teahouse were also Luo Cheng's men; they would never let a poisonous snake in to harm Luo Cheng.
Moreover, his men searched every corner of the teahouse, but found no snakes, let alone highly venomous ones.
So, how did Luo Cheng and Shangguan Wan'er get bitten by snakes?
After investigating for half a month, Prime Minister Luo found nothing and gave up...
One month later,
Liufang Pavilion, second floor.
Luo Xi and a beautiful woman in a pink dress stood by the window, watching a man and woman not far outside Liufang Pavilion, standing close together and chatting happily. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful; they were even holding hands. To an outsider, they would have thought they were a married couple.
Luo Xi frowned and looked at the beautiful Zhao Yining beside her, reminding her, "Yining, they seem to have a very good relationship, and it's quite ambiguous. Are you sure you want to marry Shen Zhe, a scholar who has nothing and other women around him? Are you sure he's not just using you as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder? Besides, I've also heard that the woman beside him saved his life. In his heart, he might value that woman more than you. Are you really not bothered by that?"
"And what about when he saved you from the water? Did you investigate that? Could it be that he deliberately set it up?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yining smiled and said, "Xixi, I believe Shen Zhe. He's not that kind of person."
Luo Xi: "You really trust him that much? Aren't you going to investigate?"
Zhao Yining's face darkened with displeasure: "Xixi, there's no need to investigate. I trust Shen Zhe's character. If I have someone investigate him, I'm afraid that if Shen Zhe finds out, it will affect the trust and relationship between us..."
"Besides, how could Shen Zhe possibly plot against me?"
“I didn’t know him at the time. It was because the wooden planks in that pavilion were too slippery that I fell into the lake. What does it have to do with Shen Zhe?”
"He saved me back then."
“Shen Zhe is a kind and talented person. He just lacks an opportunity. Xi Xi, don’t be prejudiced against him.”
"As for Xiaoyou? Shen Zhe said he only considers Xiaoyou as a younger sister."
“Xixi, you are my best friend. I don’t want you to be prejudiced against Shen Zhe. He is really a good person.”
Luo Xi: ..........
Prejudice? She didn't think she was prejudiced against Shen Zhe.
She withdrew her gaze from Zhao Yining and said calmly, "Okay, I understand."
Luo Xi really didn't expect that the clever and quick-witted Zhao Yining would become so brainless and stupid when she fell in love with someone.
As a friend, Luo Xi had said everything she needed to say. Since Zhao Yining had chosen to believe Shen Zhe, she wouldn't meddle and cause trouble.
Luo Xi respected Zhao Yining's fate and let go of any unnecessary feelings of helping others. From now on, she would have no further contact with Zhao Yining...
After all, she has a phobia of stupidity.
After that day, Luo Xi completely ignored Zhao Yining...
