"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me." Shen Huaixu said calmly, "I'm used to being wild. In the past, I would have used both words and fists. Logically speaking, Miss Ke Wu is a cousin of Prince Jinghe and Princess Chaohua, so she should be smart and witty. Was there anything wrong with what I said just now?"
Seeing that Miss Ke Wu frowned and remained silent, Shen Huaixu continued, "People can come up with all sorts of stories when they talk. This isn't something that's hard to investigate. If you want to know the inside story, why not investigate what the midwife has done? She was used as a pawn by others without realizing it, and she really did what they wanted."
She looked at Shangguan Ruoyan again and asked, "Miss Shangguan, I believe I had never met you before the birthday banquet in the palace, and I have only met you twice since then. I don't know why Miss Shangguan is making things so difficult for me."
Shangguan Ruoyan's body stiffened and her face turned the color of liver.
She said quickly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Don't understand? You really don't understand!" Chen Huaixu sneered, "It seems that the family education of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is just so-so. Miss Shangguan had better avoid me when she sees me in the future, so as not to make this county lady lose her appetite!"
After saying this, Shen Huaixu sat down again and stopped talking.
Qi Yang looked at her worriedly, and seeing that she still had an appetite, he couldn't help but smile.
No one spoke at the dinner table for a while, but after Fu Tuan finished eating the melon, he felt that the food in front of him tasted even better.
Cang Heng swept his sharp gaze over the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness brought my two sisters and Lady Mingyi to Weiran Tower to watch the fun and didn't want to cause any unpleasantness."
Shangguan Ruoyan walked out of the private room with tears in her eyes, followed closely by the two people who spoke for her.
After the farce, no one had the heart to continue eating. The other two people from the Ke family didn't say anything before, and they quickly finished their meal and left.
Chao Hua threw down his chopsticks and said angrily, "Why is Shangguan Ruoyan so close to my second and fifth cousins?"
Qi Yang said softly, "We are far away in the frontier, how would we know how they met? The last time Shangguan Ruoyan came to Beijing, she and the cousin from the Ke family weren't very close. What happened this time?"
A noble lady in Beijing, deliberately approaching the Ke family...
Everyone here is smart and can figure out the ins and outs of this with just a little thought.
Shen Huaixu already knew the inside story, so he didn't react much.
Cang Heng previously thought that Chen Huaixu and Shangguan Ruoyan had an old grudge, but he never thought that the feud was formed after they came to Beijing. After thinking about it carefully, he understood.
He quickly raised his eyes to glance at Shen Huaixu, feeling a little annoyed. If he had known it was because of him, he would not have let Shangguan Ruoyan enter the private room.
but······
Chen Huaixu is still young, how could Shangguan Ruoyan think like this?
Feeling strange and angry at the same time, Cang Heng couldn't help but frown, "I will resolve this matter and won't let her bother you again."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." Shen Huaixu was very satisfied with the answer. She raised a glass of wine with a smile on her face.
After happily drinking two more glasses of wine, they came to the elegant seats on the third floor and sat down to watch the talented scholars in the lobby downstairs competing in poetry and writing. It was very lively, and the other three also talked for a while - Chen Huaixu was afraid that she would reveal the secret as soon as she opened her mouth.
She has a lot of poetic treasures in her mind, and once she speaks out, she will probably shake the current literary world. But she is not shameless enough to take the things of her ancestors as her own.
What surprised Shen Huaixu was that Qi Yang was actually a talented woman, and she could recite ancient and modern allusions at will. She was not much worse than Cang Heng.
Seeing her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qi Yang, Chao Hua couldn't help but boast, "Cousin Qi Yang is the most talented woman in our Lao Cang family. Her calligraphy is so beautiful. I'll show it to you when I get a chance!"
Qi Yang smiled shyly, pursing his lips. "I couldn't leave the house easily since I was little. I was only able to keep company with poetry and prose. I read and wrote a lot."
"Since Princess Qi Yang loves reading, I have a few good books I found. How about we take turns reading them sometime?" Shen Huaixu suggested.
"Oh! You can read?" Chaohua asked in surprise.
Shen Huai preface: "... As a doctor, how could I be illiterate?"
"Oh, that's right, I forgot about that." Chao Hua suddenly realized, then said angrily, "I heard those idiots laugh at you for this before, and you can't even figure this out. You really deserve the name 'idiot'!"
“Hahahahahaha——”
Qi Yang laughed heartily for the first time. Even Cang Heng, who was usually expressionless, smiled. Chao Hua was baffled by their laughter. "What are you laughing at?"
After laughing, Qi Yang explained, "Cousin, if Ah Xu hadn't reminded you, wouldn't you have figured it out?"
Chaohua's cheeks flushed red, and he said in embarrassment: "Don't laugh! Don't laugh..."
His tone was quite powerful, but in reality he could only move his mouth.
After the laughter and joking, the lights on the market street gradually lit up. The four of them stood at the window of the private room, watching the people on the street, pointing out the lively places for others to see. After watching for a long time, Chaohua had the urge to go shopping.
She looked at Cang Heng eagerly, "Brother, let's go down and take a look. What's the point of just standing there and watching?"
As he spoke, he shook Cang Heng's hand.
“It’s a mixed bag, and it’s unsafe.”
Shen Huaixu followed suit, "It must be very crowded with so many people."
Chaohua had no choice but to look at Qiyang.
Qi Yang shook her head helplessly. With so many people around, she definitely couldn't go down.
None of the three of them accompanied him. Chao Hua pouted in dissatisfaction, "If you don't go down, I'll go down by myself."
As she was about to run downstairs, Cang Heng called her, "Do you really want to go?"
Chaohua nodded vigorously.
