Chapter 31 Treating People with Their Own Kindness
"Isn't that the truth?"
Ning Fengzhi was shocked to see that Shen Jiasui could still laugh even after his true face was exposed in front of her.
Shen Jiasui did not rush to deny it, but asked: "Gu Xizhi is here too?"
Ning Fengzhi thought of the brute force Shen Jiasui had just displayed, and immediately became alert.
"What do you want to do? Sister Gu has already taken the initiative to leave General Dingguo's Mansion. Are you still unwilling to let her go?"
"I'm telling you, my brother and I have been entrusted by Brother Yunzheng to ensure that you won't touch a hair on Sister Gu today!"
When Shen Jiasui saw Ning Fengzhi's reaction, he knew that Gu Xizhi must have also participated in today's flower-viewing banquet.
Sometimes, even she really had to admire Gu Xizhi.
If it were someone else, after betraying their sisters and having private dealings with others, how could they dare to appear in public openly?
But not only did she not shy away from it, she even uttered eloquent words to confuse right and wrong and fool everyone.
Of course, it was also because Gu Xizhi and Lu Yunzheng really understood her past self and were sure that she would not want to attend such a banquet.
By then, the "truth" would just depend on Gu Xizhi's mouth, and she would be sitting at home while dirty water came pouring down on her, and she would become a notorious villain in the capital without even realizing it.
Will she come out to defend herself then?
I'm afraid that there are very few people who believe her, and even people no longer care about the truth. They just follow the crowd and treat it as a pastime after dinner.
When her thoughts reached this point, Shen Jiasui was stunned, because she suddenly figured out some things from her previous life.
No wonder...
In her previous life, after she married Lu Yunzheng, she attended several banquets in the capital as the young lady of General Zhaoyong's mansion.
But for some reason, the other ladies were unwilling to get close to her, making her feel isolated and excluded.
At that time she thought it was because she never attended parties and was not familiar with others.
Thinking about it now, I'm afraid she had already become notorious in the capital at that time, and had been laughed at and ridiculed countless times in secret.
If she had not thought of coming to the flower-viewing banquet today, Gu Xizhi would have succeeded again!
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui suddenly became angry.
There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as being on guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Since Gu Xizhi is so fond of confusing right and wrong, she will give her a taste of her own medicine and make sure she never has the face to appear in public again!
"Is Gu Xizhi in the west courtyard?" Shen Jiasui asked with a cold face.
Ning Fengzhi saw Shen Jiasui's expression and felt more and more reticent. She shook her head and said, "Sister Gu doesn't want to see you. The princess is in the west courtyard. You... don't even think about doing anything stupid!"
Shen Jiasui thought about it carefully. It seemed that the maid just now was going to take her to the west courtyard. Gu Xizhi would definitely not dare to meet her in public, so perhaps she had already avoided her.
It is really not easy to find someone who wants to hide in such a huge prince's palace.
In this case...why not try to provoke him?
After Shen Jiasui figured it out, he sneered, "Don't want to see me? I'm afraid she doesn't dare to see me!"
Ning Fengzhi immediately spoke up to defend her: "Even if you are as strong as an ox, in this prince's mansion, the princess is the boss, so why wouldn't Sister Gu dare?"
"Because what she said was all lies. She has played all of you ladies in the palm of her hand. Once she confronts me, she will be exposed. Naturally, she dare not see me."
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi was about to refute, Shen Jiasui raised his hand in time to stop him and said calmly:
"You don't have to argue with me here. I'll be sitting in the pavilion nearby waiting for you."
"Go and call Gu Xizhi over. It would be best if you could ask the princess to come and support me. I will debate with Gu Xizhi in front of you. How do you think?"
"Don't be impatient, let me take a guess first."
Shen Jiasui curled his lips and listed them one by one based on his understanding of Gu Xizhi:
"If I'm not mistaken, when you go to find Gu Xizhi, she will definitely say generously: Forgive others when you can, and don't bother with me."
"Or...she used the excuse that seeing me would only remind me of the past and only add to my sadness, so it's better not to see each other."
"Or... well... maybe just pretend to faint."
After Shen Jiasui finished speaking in a serious tone, he waved his hand at Ning Fengzhi, who looked a little dazed.
"Ms. Ning, go ahead. But as promised, I'll be waiting for you in the pavilion."
Ning Fengzhi was stunned, then turned around, and suddenly reacted, stamping his feet, "Why should I listen to you!"
Shen Jiasui raised his chin at her and patted the big rock beside him.
Ning Fengzhi was so frightened that her face immediately turned red. She said harshly, "Shen Jiasui, just wait. When the princess comes, we'll see how you can be so violent!"
She lifted her skirt and walked away dejectedly, followed by two maids.
Shen Jiasui raised the corner of his mouth and walked towards the pavilion not far away.
"sister--"
Hearing the voice, Shen Jiasui turned his head and saw Shen Jiaheng walking out from the corner.
"Brother Heng, what are you doing——"
She went forward, but soon stopped.
Because there was another person beside Shen Jiaheng, wearing a dark bamboo-embroidered robe and with a stern expression, it was Jiang Xun.
Shen Jiasui couldn't help but feel puzzled. How could Brother Heng be with Jiang Xun?
The next moment, the two of them turned aside and respectfully gave way.
Shen Jiasui's heart trembled, and then a young man in a royal blue brocade robe came out holding a child about five years old.
The young man wore a golden crown. Shen Jiasui did not look directly at his face, but only looked at the jade-inlaid brocade belt tied around his waist.
Hanging on it is a jade pendant with a dragon pattern, symbolizing the identity of the visitor - a prince.
However, Shen Jiasui's attention was soon attracted by a five-year-old child nearby.
He wore a small purple-gold crown on his head, and a crimson-purple brocade robe with a ruyi pattern, which made his skin look fair and his eyes bright.
At this time, he walked briskly, and the exquisite jade pendant hanging on the jade belt around his waist jingled.
He also saw Shen Jiasui, and at this moment his eyebrows curved, and two dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he said,
"Just now I heard Mr. Shen calling her sister, so this is Ms. Shen?"
Shen Jiasui was very sensible and immediately bowed: "Your servant Shen Jiasui greets His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor."
The current emperor has three sons, Crown Prince Xianhuai is the eldest. After his death, he left behind a grandson, Zhao Yuanye.
The second prince, Zhao Huailang, was born to Concubine Shu and was given the title of Prince Rui. The third prince, Zhao Huaixiang, was born to Concubine Chun and was given the title of Prince Xiang.
Shen Jiasui had heard a little about court affairs in his previous life, so he was certain that the young man in front of him was Prince Xiang.
Because Prince Xiang is closest to the Crown Prince, and is also very close to Emperor Yuanye's grandson.
"Miss Shen, please stand up. You are just strolling around today, so there is no need to be formal."
Zhao Huaixiang raised his hand slightly. Although Shen Jiasui did not look up, he could tell from such a gentle voice that His Royal Highness Prince Xiang was indeed a good-tempered person.
At this time, Zhao Huaixiang leaned forward slightly, smiled and said to Zhao Yuanye: "Ye'er, you've been running for so long, take a rest."
Zhao Yuanye looked around and saw the pavilion in front of him. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Uncle San."
He jumped forward on his own, and the four young eunuchs hurriedly followed him.
Shen Jiasui immediately stepped aside, but Zhao Yuanye suddenly turned his head and invited him with a smile:
"Is Sister Shen coming too?"
Shen Jiasui was stunned at first when he heard this, then he agreed with a smile.
I didn't dare refuse the invitation from the emperor's grandson. Fortunately, my brother Heng was also present, so it didn't count as breaking the rules.
The emperor's grandson and his entourage walked in front, followed closely by Jiang Xun. Shen Jiasui did not look away and waited until Shen Jiaheng was shoulder to shoulder with him before he took a step.
Before she could speak, Shen Jiaheng suddenly moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why did you suddenly move the stone just now?"
Shen Jiasui: “…”
"Did you all see it?"
Shen Jiaheng covered his lips with his hand and whispered, "It was Lord Jiang who saw it first, and I followed his gaze..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui immediately looked up and saw Jiang Xun passing by the big rock. He turned his head and seemed to look him up and down.
Shen Jiasui: “…”
