Today the sun is mild and the weather is just right. The most prosperous streets in the capital are bustling with people.
In particular, the famous shop Feiyan Pavilion launched new products today, attracting many noble ladies to scramble for them.
The door of Feiyan Pavilion was filled with carriages, and all the people coming and going were dressed in luxurious clothes. The prices here were far beyond the reach of ordinary people, but both the clothes and jewelry were second to none, so there were still many guests, and they were all Kyoto nobles.
"I don't need it." A cold female voice sounded in the store.
A woman in white, wearing a hood and covering her face, calmly stared at the person in front of her: "If I had this time, I could memorize another medical book."
Standing in front of her was a young man also dressed in white. His face was as clear as the moon, his temperament was gentle, and the smiling corners of his mouth made him look very gentle.
"I know you are capable, but you should relax occasionally." Xiao Chi said with a smile.
He was tall and handsome with curved eyebrows and eyes, which attracted many women in the store to look at him frequently.
Shi Shuling felt helpless. How could she be in the mood to relax?
"Master, then... half an hour, no more."
Xiao Chi is Shi Shuling's benefactor. It was he who helped Shi Shuling heal her face and taught her medical skills. Unless it is necessary, Shi Shuling does not want to refuse any request from the other party.
"Okay." Xiao Chi smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, I've already told you not to call me Master. Just call me by my name."
Shi Shuling nodded and said nothing more.
"Let's go and see if there's anything you like. Today is my treat, so please, Miss Xiao Ling, give me some face and pick a few more."
Even though he still had unrelieved hatred in his heart, Shi Shuling couldn't help but relax a little and feel warm as he followed the young man in white.
She pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Thanks, Xiao Chi."
Xiao Chi curled his lips gently: "No need."
As the two of them were walking inside, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side:
"Look! Is that the carriage from Prince Qi's mansion?"
"It's stopped! Could it be that the person in the carriage is Princess Qi?"
Shi Shuling's eyes flashed and he turned around suddenly to look!
A strange look flashed across Xiao Chi's eyes, and he looked over!
Under the gaze of the two, a man in a black brocade robe got out of the stopped carriage. He had a noble temperament and a stern face. The look in his phoenix eyes was awe-inspiring without anger, and his every move was filled with a sense of cold oppression.
"It's Prince Qi!" a woman whispered.
Prince Qi.
Qi Luan.
Shi Shuling stared at her former fiancé with complicated eyes.
"Why is Prince Qi here? Are you buying jewelry for Princess Qi?"
"I think Princess Qi is also in the carriage..."
The voices of the other people talking were obviously not loud, but they were like thunder, constantly replaying in Shi Shuling's head.
After Qi Luan got off the car, he did not come in. Instead, he turned around and reached out to help the person in the car - a white and beautiful hand stretched out from inside.
Shi Shuling gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers into fists in his sleeves.
"Sister! You look so beautiful when you play the piano!"
"Sister! Sister! Look, what do you think of Qing'er's new hairpin?"
"Sister, Qing'er can't bear to leave you. Can you not marry Prince Qi?"
“…”
The sound of "sister" haunted Shi Shuling day and night like a nightmare.
She wanted to expose Shi Wuqing's evil deeds and make her pay the price, but she also wanted to question her, why? Why did she do this to her?
Is it because she married the Prince Qi whom she loved?
What about their sisterly bond? Is it all fake?
Shi Shuling was so angry that she dug her nails into her palms to control herself and just watch from afar instead of rushing over to slap the other person!
"Xiao Ling." A warm hand held her wrist.
Shi Shuling calmed down a little, and she said softly, "I'm fine."
Xiao Chi naturally realized that her "I'm fine" was fake. Beneath his seemingly gentle appearance, he had some murderous intentions towards Shi Wuqing, whom he had never met before.
How dare he treat Xiao Ling like this... He won't let this person go!
…
As soon as Shi Wuqing was helped out of the car by Qi Luan, she realized that all the eyes at the scene were looking at her.
She blinked and moved closer to Qi Luan.
It’s not that she’s afraid of others looking at her, it’s just… with so many people watching, she always feels a little guilty when she thinks about her personality and behavior.
And for some reason, she now had an inexplicable uneasy feeling in her heart.
"Let's go." Qi Luan paused and said with lowered eyes, "There are many people around. I'll hold you."
Shi Wuqing’s character is impossible to refuse!
Now it’s in public view!
She could only say in surprise and shyness: "Okay."
This was the first time Qi Luan held the other person's hand. He maintained a cold appearance, but his heart was filled with joy.
So many people saw him holding Ling Ling's hand...
"Prince Qi."
"My daughter greets Prince Qi."
Many people saluted Qi Luan. No one who could come here did not know Qi Luan.
"Yeah." Qi Luan nodded lightly.
Xiao Chi sensed Shi Shuling's suppressed anger, and he suddenly let go of him, whispering, "Don't come over."
After saying that, he walked towards Qi Luan and the others.
Shi Shuling didn't know what he was going to do, and she had no intention of thinking at the moment. She stared at the face that looked very similar to her.
The girl's clothing and appearance were obviously deliberately imitated from hers, and the way she smiled was also somewhat similar to hers. It was obvious that she had practiced it deliberately.
Shi Shuling felt a little nauseous. She took two steps back, stood in the crowd, and tried hard to control her breathing frequency.
"What kind do you like?" Qi Luan didn't know that his real fiancée was standing not far away watching the two of them.
He took Shi Wuqing's hand, walked to a booth and asked for her opinion.
Shi Wuqing didn't care, so she just maintained her character and said, "I like everything that A'luan picked."
Xiao Chi, who had just approached, looked even colder when he heard these words.
But he quickly put away his coldness and greeted Qi Luan with a smile: "Prince Qi, what a coincidence."
Qi Luan turned around and saw that it was Xiao Chi, and replied calmly, "Master Xiao."
The Xiao family's current status in Xia Country cannot be underestimated. As the only young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Chi's status has naturally risen, and he has become the object of flattery by many forces.
Although Qi Luan doesn't need to please others, he won't be stupid enough to offend others for no reason.
"Is this the famous Shi family's eldest daughter, Shi Shuling?" Xiao Chi asked politely, "After meeting her today, she is indeed different from ordinary women."
Shi Wuqing didn't pay attention to him at first, but when he heard Qi Luan calling the other party "Young Master Xiao", his pupils shrank.
Xiao...Xiao?
Xiao Chi?
