Chapter 16 It doesn't hurt at all
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door, only to see Shen Jiaheng's servant coming back and looking at them breathlessly.
Shen Jiaheng poked his head out from behind Ji Xueyi, widened his eyes and asked, "Bai Mu, who did you say is here?"
Bai Mu felt quite stressed when facing a room full of bruised and battered young men. He took a breath and said:
"Yes, the girl is here to see you. She is outside now."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaheng slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Who told you to go back and tell your sister? I can handle it myself!"
Although Shen Jiaheng said this, he didn't dare to keep Shen Jiasui waiting for long. He waved his sleeves and walked out.
When he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly turned around and glanced at everyone in the room. His eyes were cold and it was obvious that he was serious.
"I will fight anyone who dares to talk nonsense in front of my sister!"
As soon as Shen Jiaheng left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
It was Ji Xueyi who reacted first and quickly chased after him, shouting, "Brother Heng, wait for me!"
The rest of the people looked at Cui Mingjue, their eyes full of impatience.
They had only heard of this Miss Shen but had never seen her in person, and much of what they said today was heard from other people.
However, in order to anger Shen Jiaheng, he exaggerated the situation and made it even more unpleasant.
Now that they heard that Shen Jiasui was really coming, they were extremely curious and wanted to see how ugly she was. That was why Lu Yunzheng was willing to offend General Dingguo's Mansion and cancel the engagement.
At this time, someone noticed Lu Yunsheng who was about to leave, and suddenly realized that Lu Yunsheng must have seen Shen Jiansui.
"Hey, Lu Yunsheng, have you seen Miss Shen? What does she look like?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Yunsheng.
Lu Yunsheng frowned, feeling unhappy.
His aunt had told him to study hard in the Imperial College and make a name for himself in the future with his own abilities.
Because he was born out of wedlock, he was looked down upon by these people, so he always kept to himself, and yet he was able to live in peace.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunzheng couldn't even handle his own personal affairs, and it even affected him.
"I have never seen Miss Shen. If you are curious, why don't you go and see her with your own eyes?"
In fact, he was also very surprised when he heard about the broken engagement this morning.
After all, he had met both Shen Jiasui and Gu Xizhi. No matter their background, appearance, or personality, he could not find any reason to abandon Shen Jiasui and choose Gu Xizhi.
After hearing what Lu Yunsheng said, everyone became more eager to try.
"Mingjue, how about...we go take a look?"
"It's harmless to just take a look from a distance."
Everyone was talking at once. It was obvious that Cui Mingjue had already made up his mind and could not resist any advice.
"Okay! I want to see what the female Yaksha of the Shen family looks like!"
As soon as Cui Mingjue said this, the young men cheered and followed him out.
The group of people all looked a little embarrassed, and their classmates kept looking at them sideways.
Soon after leaving the Imperial College, they saw Shen Jiaheng and Ji Xueyi looking into the distance, looking forward to something, under a Sophora japonica tree not far away.
Bai Mu rode his horse as fast as he could back to the Imperial College first. Because Ji Wan insisted on dressing up Shen Jiasui, she and Bai Ji walked slowly.
At this moment, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard coming from afar, and soon a young girl appeared in everyone's sight.
Cui Mingjue and his companions were filled with curiosity and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look back the way they came, but soon they all looked disappointed.
In fact, everyone didn't believe in their hearts that Miss Shen really looked like a demon.
After all, Shen Jiaheng was famous for his good looks in the Imperial College, and he and Miss Shen were born of the same mother, so no matter how ugly Miss Shen was, she couldn't be that ugly.
They had some expectations in their hearts, but when they saw the real person, they were inevitably disappointed.
Miss Shen is indeed not ugly, but she is just pretty and is far inferior to Shen Jiaheng.
"Well, go back, go back."
"Really? Only Shen Jiaheng treats her sister like a treasure and is willing to fight with us. It's so funny!"
The young men were talking to each other, and Cui Mingjue was also feeling bored. As they were about to turn around and leave, they suddenly heard Shen Jiaheng shout:
"sister!"
Soon, a clear voice came from afar: "Baiji, why are you running so fast?"
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw a horse with shiny fur galloping towards them and coming into their sight.
On the horse's back, the girl was dressed in a fiery red dress, with a heroic look between her brows. At this moment, her thin lips opened and closed, and her face was full of smiles, which was truly bright and dazzling.
When the horse galloped to the Sophora japonica tree, she pulled the reins with her right hand, and the horse neighed, raised its hooves and landed steadily on the ground.
The girl jumped off the horse, her long hair flying up behind her, looking neat and light.
This bold, casual and energetic look immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Baiji got off the horse first and came to Shen Jiasui's side. He glanced at the group of people not far away casually with a mischievous smile on his face.
Just now she saw the Imperial College from afar, and she suddenly crossed the line, hit the horse's butt with a whip, and ran ahead of the young lady.
What is this called? Just throwing out some ideas?
It doesn't seem right.
No matter what, the effect is excellent. Look at those young people over there, their eyes are about to pop out of their heads!
When Shen Jiasui saw Baiji's expression, he realized her intention and shook his head helplessly.
Baiji is as persistent as her mother in letting her be in the limelight.
At this moment, she had no time to care about anything else, and her eyes were fixed on Shen Jiaheng under the tree.
In her previous life, the entire Dingguo General's family was imprisoned, and she racked her brains to get a chance to visit him in prison.
At that time, the handsome and cheerful brother Heng had become haggard, but the first sentence he asked when they met was:
"Sister, have others made things difficult for you? Has the Lu family treated you harshly?"
When he was beheaded, Hengdi was only seventeen. This promising young man had not yet achieved fame and fortune, nor had he established a family, but his head and body were separated.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"Brother Heng..."
Shen Jiasui called out softly, his fingertips resting on Shen Jiaheng's dark blue nose, and asked in a gentle voice, "Does it hurt?"
Shen Jiaheng was afraid that Shen Jiasui would worry, so he quickly smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, not at all."
Hearing these words, tears instantly blurred Shen Jiasui's vision.
At the end of the prison visit in the previous life, the last words that Brother Heng said were:
"Sister, don't worry, beheading doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, so... Sister, don't worry about me anymore, okay?"
When Shen Jiaheng saw his sister's eyes suddenly turn red, he immediately panicked, "Sister, I really don't feel any pain at all, look!"
As Shen Jiaheng spoke, he raised his hand and pinched his nose hard, shivering in pain.
Ji Xueyi couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end when he saw this, "Brother Heng, you are... too harsh on yourself, aren't you?"
Shen Jiasui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It was like this in the previous life. Whenever Brother Heng and Cousin Ji were together, they would always make jokes and often make people laugh.
She also knew that her emotions had just fluctuated too much, and she was afraid that others would notice something strange, so she quickly calmed her mind.
Shen Jiaheng was worried about the broken engagement and was about to ask about it when Shen Jiasui raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"It's okay, sister. I'll tell you the details when I get home. Let's deal with the current situation first."
The next moment, Shen Jiasui turned and walked towards the group of people not far away. After standing still, he tilted his head and smiled:
"I heard that someone said bad things about me behind my back?"
At this time, no one noticed that an inconspicuous green-topped flat-roofed carriage was parked quietly not far away, having been watching for a long time.
