Anyway, with such an outstanding young man like Pei Yu in front of them, it is difficult for them to find anyone they like.
The Shen family was very lively in the evening. There were four tables sitting there, mostly occupied by elders. Chen Li's cousins had all gone out to find work and only came home a few times a year.
After everyone left, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky. Chen Li stayed with them for a while before returning to her own yard. The key point was that when she sat with those elders, there was nothing to talk about. They were either urging her to get married or to have children, and she didn't want to hear any of that.
In order to maintain a harmonious atmosphere, not to hurt the relationship between relatives, and more importantly, to avoid getting angry, I left decisively.
Later, some elderly people in the village, who had a good relationship with Shen Changshan, came to join in the fun.
Don't underestimate these old men and women, they can say anything. When Chen Li left, she heard them urging her sister-in-law to have a baby.
There were only two words in Chen Li's mind: outrageous. Oh my God, how could they say such things?
If anyone knew that Shen Jingyuan was in the army and not at home, and his wife was pregnant at this time, wouldn't it be obvious?
Chen Li wanted to turn around and say something, but she heard her sister-in-law say in a gentle tone: "I'm still young and there's no need to rush. Auntie, you're not that old either. If I give birth to a child now, I can still see you off to the end. Don't you agree?"
The old lady knew that she had said something wrong, so she smiled awkwardly and said nothing. After this incident, Chen Li left even faster.
…
Beijing, Prince Yan's Mansion
Half a month ago, Shen Jiaojiao was led by a nanny and entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion through the side door. She entered with her head lowered and looked towards the main entrance when she entered.
One day, Shen Jiaojiao will be able to enter and exit through the main gate openly.
Since the last time he saw Xie Yunche on the boat, Xie Yunche hadn't visited her for a long time. The people around him were very anxious, but Shen Jiaojiao was not anxious at all.
Although Xie Yunche is a kind person, he is noble in his bones. He will never allow anyone to deceive him, not to mention that he is of low status. He was a refugee before and now he has drifted to a place of prostitution.
With such an identity, he would of course think twice, and he would also have to investigate his whereabouts after he left him. After all, his identity was there, and things were different now.
For the past half month, Shen Jiaojiao was detained in the small courtyard. She had a maid to serve her, so she didn't have to worry about food. However, she couldn't see Xie Yunche.
Sitting on the bed reading a book, I secretly told myself not to be impatient, otherwise all my efforts would be wasted.
Xie Yunche sat in the study, looking at a piece of paper in front of him, and asked the guard beside him: "Is this what she has been experiencing recently?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I checked it twice and returned only after confirming that it was correct."
Xie Yunche looked at what was written on the paper. After they separated, Chen Jiaojiao was captured and sold to a brothel. There was nothing strange about this.
What surprised him was that Shen Jiaojiao was still a virgin and had never even received a customer.
Is this possible?
Even if she was a musician who sold her art but not her body, it was impossible for her to not accept a single customer for two years. This was not normal.
What's more, it said that Shen Jiaojiao was sold into a brothel, so what was written on the paper looked even more unbelievable.
Unless, someone is secretly protecting her and wants to use her to achieve some purpose?
Xie Yunche looked at the contents on the paper and fell into deep thought. So, what was the purpose of putting this person next to him now?
He didn't think so much before, but since he went out to explore the world last time, he has learned to think carefully before doing things and has become much more thoughtful.
If it were in the past, he would have brought the person into the mansion without any investigation. If there was a problem, wouldn't he have buried a nail in his own hands?
"Your Majesty, your cousin is here to see you."
Xie Yunche placed the paper in his hand on the candle and lit it. "Cousin? What are they doing? Your face is injured. Why don't you stay at home and take care of it? Why do you come to his house every day?"
"Please come in."
"cousin!"
Li Qianru was wearing a pink dress and her face was covered with a scarf. You could see that one part of her face was covered with gauze.
Xie Yunche felt a headache the moment he saw her, "Cousin, don't move over there. Don't come over here."
Li Qianru stopped and looked at him aggrievedly, "Cousin, have you found the person I asked you to find?"
Xie Yunche: "No, are you sure that person is from the capital?"
Li Qianru nodded: "That should be it!"
should?
"Are you sure the picture you drew looks exactly like him?"
"Yeah, sure, I'll never forget him even when I die!"
Xie Yunche's mouth twitched. "Alright, cousin, we're still looking for this person. You're not even sure if he's from the capital, so it won't be that quick."
In fact, he really wanted to quit, but his cousin cried in front of him that day and exposed the scar on his face. She was so pitiful that he couldn't help but help her.
I regret it so much now. I really brought trouble upon myself!
Besides, what he heard from He Xinyi about that matter was completely different from what his cousin said. If it weren't for his mother's face, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.
"Cousin, I heard there's a musician in your house. Ask her to sing a couple of songs."
Xie Yunche wanted to refuse at first, but when he remembered that there was something wrong with Shen Jiaojiao, he nodded in agreement.
“Come here, bring Miss Shen to the banquet hall.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Qianru smiled. It seemed that her cousin still cared about her. She didn't know whether she could still marry him now.
Thinking of this, he reached out and touched his cheek. Through the face towel and gauze, he seemed to be able to feel the hideous wound on his face.
His eyes instantly turned cold. It was all that bitch's fault. If it weren't for him, his face wouldn't be like this.
Xie Yunche turned around and saw the coldness in Li Qianru's eyes that had not yet disappeared, and he shuddered instantly.
This cousin seems to have changed since she got her facial injury. She wasn't like this before. Or maybe she hid it well before and no one noticed, but now she's just giving up?
I guess so. Judging from her appearance, the change has not happened overnight.
Xie Yunche didn't quite understand why she, a young lady in the boudoir, would think about all this?
When Shen Jiaojiao heard Xie Yunche calling her over, she was secretly delighted. Had the opportunity she had been waiting for finally come?
She quickly dressed up and changed into an outfit that was neither outstanding nor mediocre. The waist of the outfit was higher than other clothes, which made her waist look thinner and her legs longer, and improved her overall proportions a lot.
She casually drew her eyebrows, put on some lipstick, and hurried to the banquet hall. The prince had summoned her, so she didn't dare delay too long.
"Your Majesty."
He walked in with his head lowered, bowed towards the position above him with generous manners and graceful posture. When he raised his head slightly, Li Qianru saw his face and instantly felt jealous.
