Shen Weiwan stood up and saluted: "Meet His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."
Xiao Yu looked at her and said, "Ms. Shen has been in the spotlight recently."
Shen Weiwan smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am too kind. I just did what I should do."
Xiao Yu said meaningfully: "Miss Shen's methods, this king admires her very much."
Shen Weiwan blinked: "Your Highness is too kind. I am just a weak woman. How can I have any tricks?"
Xiao Yu chuckled: "If Miss Shen is a weak woman, then there will be no powerful people in this capital."
As the two were talking, Shen Ruorou came over and said sarcastically, "Sister, you are really good at this. Even His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is bewitched by you."
Shen Weiwan turned her head and looked at her: "Cousin, you are joking. His Highness the Seventh Prince and I are just ordinary friends."
Shen Ruorou sneered: "Ordinary friends? I don't think so. Sister, you'd better be careful, otherwise it will be a waste of time."
Before Shen Weiwan had time to refute, Xiao Yu suddenly said: “Is Second Miss Shen jealous?”
Shen Ruorou’s face turned pale: “Your Highness is joking, how could I be jealous of my sister.”
Xiao Yu said calmly: "It's better to do so, otherwise..."
He didn't say anything more, but the chill in his eyes made Shen Ruorou shudder. She didn't dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry.
Shen Weiwan looked at her back and couldn’t help laughing: “Your Highness the Seventh Prince, your deterrent power is really great.”
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, Miss Shen is scared?"
Shen Weiwan shook her head: "I'm not afraid, he's just a jumping clown."
Xiao Yu looked at her with appreciation: "Miss Shen is indeed different."
Shen Weiwan blinked: "Your Highness, you are too kind. I just don't want to be bullied."
Xiao Yu suddenly lowered his voice: "Miss Shen, I have a suggestion."
Shen Weiwan asked curiously: “What proposal?”
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Why don't we join forces and take care of those who bully you."
Shen Weiwan’s eyes lit up: “Your Highness, are you serious about this?”
Xiao Yu nodded: "This king never breaks his promise."
Shen Weiwan grinned: “Okay, then let’s join forces to pit…ah no, let’s live together and ensure that there will be ‘surprises’ every day!”
Xiao Yu was amused by her words: "Miss Shen, you are such a wonderful person."
The two smiled at each other, and everyone around them was stunned. No one expected that the always aloof Seventh Prince would be so fond of Shen Weiwan, a legitimate daughter known as "silly".
After the poetry meeting, Shen Weiwan returned to the general's mansion, and the old housekeeper came up to greet her: "Miss, is His Highness the Seventh Prince interested in you?"
Shen Weiwan blinked mischievously: “Grandpa Butler, are you gossiping?”
The old housekeeper blushed and said, "I am just concerned about the eldest lady's lifelong affairs."
Shen Weiwan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.”
Chun Tao interrupted: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is so handsome and powerful, just give in."
Shen Weiwan glared at her: “Chun Tao, are you itchy?”
Chuntao stuck out her tongue and dared not speak anymore.
The old housekeeper looked at the master and servant and couldn't help but smile with relief. He knew that Shen Weiwan was no longer the silly daughter who allowed herself to be bullied. She was now capable of protecting herself and the general's mansion.
At night, Shen Weiwan sat by the window, looking at the moon in the sky, and couldn't help but think of her past life. She clenched her fists and secretly vowed: In this life, she must make those who bullied her pay the price and live a life that truly belongs to her.
At this time, Chuntao came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge: "Miss, it's time for a midnight snack."
Shen Weiwan took the porridge and took a sip: “Chun Tao, why do you think His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is suddenly interested in me?”
Chun Tao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he was attracted by the young lady's wisdom and beauty."
Shen Weiwan chuckled: "Wisdom and beauty? I think you are attracted by my 'sand sculpture operation'."
Chun Tao also smiled: "No matter what, Miss is now very famous, and your deeds are spread all over the capital."
Shen Weiwan shook her head: "The glory is temporary, I have to be vigilant at all times and not let Liu's mother and daughter take advantage of the opportunity."
Chun Tao nodded: "Don't worry, my lady, I will always be with you."
Shen Weiwan looked at Chuntao, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that in this world, apart from the old housekeeper, Chuntao was the most loyal person to her.
“Chun Tao, thank you.” Shen Weiwan said softly.
Chun Tao's eyes were red: "Miss, please don't say that. It is my blessing to be able to follow you."
The two smiled at each other, and the moon outside the window cast a soft light, as if blessing their friendship and future.
