The Shen family carefully controlled themselves and tried not to do anything too embarrassing. Fortunately, they did not bring Shen Mochi out today. He was still too young, and the banquet was too complicated with too many uncontrollable factors, so they simply did not bring him.
They often imitate others, with a smile on their faces, looking at others calmly, and responding to others' curious gazes with a smile.
Fortunately, they have experienced many ups and downs during the time they have been with Chen Li, and their psychological ability to withstand shocks is no longer at the same level as before, so they can still hold on.
Su Zhihui sat in the front seat, which of course she got thanks to her grandparents. After seeing Shen Li coming, she pulled her brother to say something to the elders and came to the Shen family.
"Ali~"
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
After saying hello, Su Zhihui moved closer to Chen Li and took her arm.
"Ahui and the eldest master are here."
Su Zhihui was next to Shen Li, and her eyes secretly glanced at Shen Qi'an behind her. Shen Li knew what she was thinking, so she said, "Ahui, you stay here first. I'll go talk to my fourth brother."
Su Zhihui glanced at her, her eyes full of coquettishness, and raised her hand to gently hit her arm.
"Oh, Ah Hui wants to go too, let's go."
Shen Li took him to a table at the back and stood next to Shen Qian'an.
"Ah Hui, are you used to being in the capital these days?"
Su Zhihui's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were sparkling when she looked at Shen Qi'an.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. I've been to the capital before. But you guys, the soil and water in the capital are much drier than in the south of the Yangtze River. Are you used to it?"
"good."
In fact, I was not used to it when I first came here. I had to wake up several times at night because I was thirsty. I could only go back to sleep after getting up and drinking a glass of water.
But these are all small things. He can adapt to them, so there is no need to tell Ah Hui about them.
Su Zhihui glanced at Shen Qi'an and whispered, "Fourth brother, my grandfather learned about our engagement, and he asked you to visit him another day."
In fact, the original words were not like this. When Su Zhihui's grandfather learned that his parents had arranged such a marriage for him, he was very angry and threatened to go to County Magistrate Su to settle the score, but was finally stopped by Su Heng.
Seeing Su Zhihui's expression, Shen Qi'an understood everything. He gave her a reassuring look and said, "Okay, I'll visit you another day."
Su Zhihui nodded slightly, "Fourth brother, my grandfather might come to embarrass you, but don't worry, he has no say in this marriage."
Seeing how he was thinking about her, Shen Qi'an wanted to touch her head, but considering that there were so many people around, she gave up the idea.
"What are you doing? My young lady's dress is made of brocade, it's very expensive. You look so poor, can you afford to pay for it?"
As the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the front. Chen Li walked towards the table in front.
When Li Qianru passed by this table, Su Heng was standing next to it. She had never seen Su Heng in Beijing before and thought that Su Heng was Chen Li's family member, so she came here to make trouble.
At that time, Su Heng was holding a glass of wine in his hand. The little girl next to Li Qianru bumped to the side, and the glass of wine spilled on the hem of Li Qianru's skirt.
Su Heng saw that it was his wine that stained the girl's skirt, so he apologized gently: "I'm sorry, young lady."
Li Qianru didn't say anything, just looked at him. He looked like a good guy, so how could he be the family member of that bitch?
Chen Li came over and understood the cause of the incident. It was all caused by herself.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I'm afraid you've been dragged down by me in this matter."
Su Heng shook his head, "It was my wine that stained the hem of this girl's skirt."
Chen Li looked at Li Qianru and said, "Miss Li, it has been half a year since we last met in the North. I didn't expect Miss Li to become like this."
If Su Heng was not here today, and Li Qianru came to cause trouble, and he was not here, the Shen family would be bullied.
Li Qianru took Bai Shuran's arm and glanced at Chen Li with disdain, "Who are you? When have I ever seen you before?"
Shen Li chuckled, "I didn't recognize her at first, but the look on Miss Shen's face... reminded me of her."
Li Qianru was almost in a rage when her sore spot was touched. This bitch kept bringing up all sorts of issues.
"So it's you. Weren't you dressed as a man back then? And you were following Prince Jingnan."
Li Qianru's voice grew louder and louder. "I wonder how a girl like you could go to the north alone, and yet you stay by the side of Prince Jingnan? What's your relationship with him?"
Feeling the disdainful gazes of the people around her scanning her body, Shen Li smiled and said, "That doesn't seem to be Miss Li's business. I don't know if I remembered it wrongly, but it seems that Miss Li has expressed her feelings to the prince."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shuran glanced at Li Qianru next to him. If this was really the case, then what was her purpose in giving him advice?
Li Qianru felt that the eyes of those around her who were originally looking at Chen Li shifted to her, and her back teeth were almost broken.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Who are you to speak to me like that?"
If you can't win the argument with her, attack her based on her identity.
Su Zhihui also walked over to Chen Li and asked, "Who are you? There are so many people here, is it your turn to jump around?"
Su Zhihui was not afraid. Her grandmother said that the ladies from noble families in Beijing were always well-educated and well-mannered. If they met someone who was domineering, they could just scold him back, and her grandfather would support them.
Li Qianru glanced at Su Zhihui and said, "Who are you? I haven't seen you in Beijing for all these years. It's really lively today, all kinds of small fish and shrimps have popped up."
Su Zhihui smiled and said, "You're right. I'm just a small fish and shrimp, but my grandparents are old fish and shrimp. I don't know what crime you can be charged with for slandering court officials like this."
"you……"
Li Qianru hadn't expected Su Zhihui to be so sharp-tongued. "I won't argue with you. Get out of the way."
Su Zhihui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chen Li, "Ahui, I can handle this."
Chen Li took a step forward and looked at Li Qianru with cold eyes, "Tell me, even though it's been so long, if you can find out, can you still find out?"
"Isn't it enough that you've suffered the consequences of your own actions? Now you want to destroy your only reputation as well. If that's the case, I can help you."
Li Qianru was a little frightened, but she still said with her neck stiff, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can find out who you are?"
Chen Li clenched her fists and said, "I don't have any special skills, except for my boxing skills. The people you hired can't even hit me with a finger. As for you..."
After Chen Li finished speaking, she gave her a look that showed she understood it herself.
"What's going on today? I'm sure you know very well that Master Su was implicated by me. But you, don't treat him like a cabbage in the field. Don't you know that it's impossible for someone without some background to appear here?"
This is because she is attending the palace banquet here tonight. If it were outside, Chen Li would want to get rid of her.
He has already reaped the fruits of his own actions and his face is ruined, yet he still refuses to give up and is looking for trouble!
