Lunch was eaten in the banquet hall. Originally, Xie Yunche had not planned to eat in the banquet hall, but since his elder brother was here, he had to eat in a nice style, right?
So, everyone was seen enjoying the singing and dancing while eating in the banquet hall. The atmosphere was very quiet for a while, and no other sounds could be heard except the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras.
When Shen Jiaojiao came over, everyone had already started eating. This fact made her heart twisted.
"This servant greets the Emperor, Your Majesty."
Xie Yunci looked at Xie Yunche, "Is this the person you called?"
Xie Yunche nodded, "Brother, you don't know that she is also a member of the Shen family. Her name is Shen Jiaojiao, and she is Uncle Shen's younger sister."
Xie Yunci put down his chopsticks and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, really? Then how did it come to this?"
Shen Changshan stepped forward and bowed, answering, "Your Majesty, you may not know that although she is my younger sister, when we were fleeing the famine, our parents had already agreed to divide the family, and after that, we all went our separate ways."
"Our whole family was very surprised to see Jiaojiao at the prince's place today."
Xie Yunci nodded and let Shen Changshan retreat without asking any more questions. This matter had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Shen Jiaojiao stood up and walked to Xie Yunche, poured him a glass of wine, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I wonder if Jiaojiao can be alone with my eldest brother and the others for a while later."
"sure."
After agreeing, he felt something was wrong and added, "If the Shen family has no objection, then I have no objection either."
Shen Jiaojiao smiled and thanked him. When she lowered her head, a few traces of busyness flashed in her eyes.
We are all family, they are so noble, but I am so lowly.
Why!
"Jiaojiao, do you want to redeem yourself?"
Xie Yunche suddenly asked this question while eating.
Shen Jiaojiao's breathing stagnated for a moment, and she quickly and firmly replied: "Prince, Jiaojiao doesn't want to."
"Why?"
Xie Yunche was curious, of course because Shen Jiaojiao saved him, and he also sincerely cared about Shen Jiaojiao and wanted her to leave the house and live a normal life.
If he agreed, he could tell the Shen family, but Shen Jiaojiao refused so decisively, which he never expected.
"Your Highness, Jiaojiao loves you. If she leaves the mansion, I'm afraid she will never see you again in this life. Jiaojiao knows that her status is low and she dare not ask for such extravagant things. But Your Highness, please don't drive Jiaojiao away, okay?"
When Xie Yunche heard her say that she loved him, he was startled for a moment, but soon calmed down.
"No, Jiaojiao, even if you leave the palace, you will be able to see me often in the future."
The smile on Shen Jiaojiao's face almost couldn't be maintained. Is this the point?
Xie Yunche added, “Miss Shen is engaged to Brother Pei and will be married soon. The Shen family will probably live in the capital, so you will still be able to see me.”
"What?"
Shen Jiaojiao's face was full of shock, and the smile on her face just now could no longer be maintained.
She grabbed Xie Yunche's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, who is the Brother Pei you are talking about? Could it be the man in black who was talking to Ah Li just now?"
Seeing her like this, Xie Yunche felt a little unhappy and put down his chopsticks.
"Jiaojiao, don't be so rude. Brother Pei is the King of Jingnan. You can't address him like that."
Shen Jiaojiao's heart was already filled with turmoil. She bit her lower lip hard with her teeth. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart.
Why is this happening?
She, Shen Li, rose to the sky in one step, but she herself fell into such an abyss that she couldn't get up.
Hehehe!
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she looked a little strange, Xie Yunche looked at her and asked.
Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses and met Xie Yunche's slightly probing gaze. She tried hard to control the expression on her face and forced a stiff smile.
"Your Highness, Jiaojiao is fine. I'm just happy for A-Li."
Xie Yunche nodded, but didn't believe what she said. Judging from her reluctant look just now, it didn't look like she was happy for Miss Shen.
Shen Jiaojiao was preoccupied at the moment and didn't pay much attention to his mood, otherwise she would definitely have thought of this.
They spoke quietly, but Shen Li had been paying attention to Shen Jiaojiao's movements, so she naturally took in the conversation.
She is not afraid of what Shen Jiaojiao will do?
However, she is not alone, she has family, and Shen Jiaojiao is alone now. If she can't get over it and does something to hurt her family, she will suffer a great loss.
After dinner, Xie Yun left and took Pei Yu with him before leaving.
A group of people watched them walk away until they could no longer be seen. Then Shen Jiaojiao came to Shen Changshan.
"Brother, our family hasn't seen each other for a long time. Jiaojiao has a few words to say to you."
Shen Changshan nodded and looked at Xie Yunche, "Your Majesty, can you lend us a room so we can talk to Jiaojiao?"
"Well, I'll have someone take you there."
The family followed the eunuch. Shen Mochi looked at Shen Jiaojiao and his little head started to work. She called her grandfather brother, and her father and aunt called her aunt. So what should he call him?
Soon, they arrived at a room and after closing the door, they sat in silence.
Shen Jiaojiao laughed awkwardly and found a chair to sit down. "Big brother is fine now. He doesn't even recognize his sister."
Shen Changshan looked at Shen Jiaojiao, whose expression changed drastically, and asked in a cold voice: "Just tell us what you want to say."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at them one by one and said some ambiguous words, "It is true that wealth breeds people. Big brother and big sister have become so young now. If my parents saw them, I am afraid they would not dare to recognize them."
Chen Li sat opposite her, "Chen Jiaojiao, just say whatever you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
Shen Jiaojiao lifted her lips, but accidentally touched the wound on her philtrum, making a "hiss" sound.
She hadn't applied medicine to the wound yet, hoping that Xie Yunche would feel guilty after seeing it.
He looked up at Chen Li with an unfriendly look. If it weren't for Chen Li, would he have suffered this?
Chen Li smiled at her with curved eyes, without any hint of ridicule, but in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes, it was extremely sarcastic.
"Jiaojiao, please tell us what you want to say quickly. We will be leaving soon."
"Leaving? Where to? Big Brother, won't you take me with you?"
Shen Jiaojiao stood up, with a crazy look on her face, "In the capital, I only have relatives like you. Aren't you going to take me away now?"
When she said the last sentence, her eyes were filled with extreme cold danger, like a cold poisonous snake staring at everyone in the Shen family.
Shen Mochi had never seen such a look before, so he quickly turned around and hugged Shen Jingyuan's legs.
"Heh, Shen Jiaojiao, what are you doing now? Just because I call you aunt, do you think you really are one?"
Shen Li stood up, and the look in his eyes that fell on Shen Jiaojiao was cold and dangerous.
