This was the second time he had thanked her, but it was still Shen Wangshu who was thanked, and Fang Xuan had nothing to do with it.
General Fang didn't take anyone seriously at all.
Fang Xuan didn't care.
Born and raised in the military, he was naturally easygoing. Although he felt the young man was somewhat rude, he wouldn't be petty like some narrow-minded men.
.
However, Shen Wangshu was not truly narrow-minded.
That thing... is even smaller than a man's.
She narrowed her eyes and said calmly to the boy with piercing eyes, "It wasn't me who saved you, yet you only thank me. Are you judging me by my appearance?" It was clearly Fang Xuan who reined in his horse, but the boy ignored it and only thanked her, who looked more glamorous. Even if he seemed sincere, Shen Wangshu knew this kind of person all too well.
Seeing the young man freeze, she smiled faintly, her beauty radiating even more. She chuckled and said, "This young master cursed himself. You look quite beautiful in mourning clothes, but such bad luck only brings you misfortune."
Her smile carried a hint of mockery, instantly making the boy's face turn bright red.
This was in a bustling city, and a startled horse would already attract attention. With Shen Wangshu's words, it stirred up a lot of discussion.
“If you still have relatives, young master, I would advise you to wear less mourning clothes. It’s one thing to curse yourself, but to curse your elders, peers and juniors as well, to bring misfortune to your whole family by having you as your only child, you are truly heartless and insane.”
Shen Wangshu said with a calm smile.
But her words only made people look at the boy with even more disdain.
This young man was exceptionally beautiful from a young age, and everyone said he was destined for greatness. He grew up being flattered and fawned over, and he had never been so humiliated. Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, he felt even more distressed, and tears welled up in his eyes. However, even if he cried himself to death in front of Shen Wangshu, Shen Wangshu would not be moved in the slightest, because this young man had caused the Third Princess a terrible ordeal in his previous life.
Although the Third Princess himself was quite a scoundrel who courted death and harmed both himself and the First Princess, it would be absolutely impossible to say that this young man was without cunning.
He had a pure and innocent face, which led the Third Princess to do countless wrong things for him, while he remained like an immortal in the clouds, merely keeping the Third Princess hanging on.
When the eldest princess and her sister lost power, he simply patted his behind and went off to become the second princess's consort.
Thinking of this, Shen Wangshu's gaze darkened.
"From now on, I'll get rid of this unlucky skin. Otherwise, she'll be beautiful but vicious, cursing her whole family to death. That's too immoral."
These words are rather malicious; at the very least, they will damage the young man's reputation, and he will likely be accused of being unfilial.
However, facing the boy's indignant eyes, Shen Wangshu simply smiled and said gently to Fang Xuan, "Forget it, we've run into an ungrateful wretch. Let's just ignore him."
She had been so harsh and stern with this handsome young man, yet she was so gentle with the tall and strong Fang Xuan, her eyes overflowing with affection. Moreover, her unparalleled beauty was truly astonishing. After all, those with discerning eyes could see that this woman, who called herself "this king," was probably of noble birth, and that her rudeness towards Fang Xuan stemmed from the young man's disrespect.
How happy must a man be to be protected by a woman like this, even forgetting that the person opposite him is a handsome young man?
Even the young man, in his shame and indignation, couldn't help but momentarily lose focus when he saw the unmistakable love on Shen Wangshu's face.
He glanced at Fang Xuan instinctively, feeling even more aggrieved.
Although Fang Xuan was imposing in his armor, his rudeness made him look like a lowly servant. Since he was of such low status, what was wrong with him thanking the servant's master?
Who would have thought that the woman in front of her actually liked this man?
But for some reason, he always felt that such affection would be even better if it were given to him.
This feeling made him blush, and he stared at Shen Wangshu intently.
However, Shen Wangshu was already preparing to go shopping with his lover.
Royal infighting is a matter of life and death, nothing out of the ordinary. The victor takes all, and the loser is condemned. The Third Princess was outmatched and died at the hands of the Second Princess, so it was no one else's fault. In this life, she would only assist the First Princess, who had been dragged down by the Third Princess in her previous life, in ascending to the throne, and incidentally let the Second Princess taste the bitterness of the victor and loser. That was all she thought of.
Take this young man for example. He did indeed scheme against the Third Princess, but the Third Princess is not innocent. She will simply ignore him from now on and let him continue his entanglement with the Second Princess as he did in her previous life.
She will no longer have any connection with this boy.
However, the boy's identity was somewhat unpleasant, but she didn't care much.
"You don't like him?" Fang Xuan asked softly, pulling her away by the hand. He was so satisfied he almost groaned. He was carrying all the things Shen Wangshu had bought for him.
Shen Wangshu strolled around leisurely, empty-handed, completely unaware that people everywhere were looking at her with disdain, as a grown woman didn't carry anything herself and instead had men carry it. She said nonchalantly, "Just a pretentious charlatan. Not very pretty, yet she thinks she can charm everyone. It's unpleasant to look at." She chuckled, unable to hide her disgust, and said, "Although she has a delicate face, it's nowhere near as pretty as yours."
This is the truth. After all, in His Highness Prince Luan's bizarre aesthetic view, a man should be strong, powerful, and majestic.
Otherwise, how could I serve His Highness Prince Luan like a slave?
She looked completely at ease, but Fang Xuan was overjoyed.
