After the exam, everyone could go home for a short rest in the afternoon, and two days later they would officially enter the palace to study with the princess.
The day after leaving the palace, Yan Ling invited Jiang Xue Ning to her home for barbecue. Jiang Xue Ning had always held a strong prejudice against Zhou Yan Zhi, and Yan Ling found him quite interesting, so she wanted to try and reconcile them.
But somehow Shen Jie heard about it and he was disgusted. "Yan Ling, we've been playing together since we were little. You're putting your girlfriend before your friends. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"I don't care, I haven't had wild game in ages! I want to join your barbecue feast!"
Yanling didn't want to agree from the bottom of her heart; she just wanted some time alone with Ningning.
But then she thought that since Zhou Yanzhi was already there, there was no chance for just the two of them, so she readily agreed to Chen Jie's request, "Alright, alright, you come too."
As Chen Jie felt a surge of joy, he suddenly remembered something, opened his mouth, and his face flushed slightly.
Seeing this, Yan Ling nudged his arm. "What's wrong? Just say what you have to say. Why are you stammering like a woman?"
After a while, Chen Jie lowered his voice, sounding somewhat awkward, "Yan Ling, could we also invite Miss You San?"
"You mean You Yue?" Yan Ling was genuinely surprised that Shen Jie was already so concerned about her.
I'm afraid that his accusations of prioritizing women over friends are just a pretense; his real intention is to date the beauty.
More people, more chopsticks; the Marquis's mansion has no shortage of a few pieces of meat that a young woman can finish. Yan Ling generously agreed, and even teased Chen Jie, "You're not serious, are you?"
Chen Jie didn't answer this question because even he himself didn't understand it.
Is he hoping for more from the girl with the handkerchief, or is he more attracted to You Yue?
When Chu Yuan received the invitation, she was both surprised and horrified.
This is no ordinary barbecue feast. Xie Wei will be there. Xie Wei's identity is actually that of Prince Dingfei, who died many years ago, and Yan Ling's cousin.
He always cared about the Yan family and looked after Yanling, not wanting her to encounter any hardship.
After Jiang Xuening was reborn, he keenly sensed that the former had a tendency to take advantage of Yan Ling, so he warned Jiang Xuening not to provoke Yan Ling casually, otherwise he would not be polite to her.
The reason Jian Shu appeared at the Marquis's residence this time was because he had found out about Zhou Yanzhi and discovered that he had deliberately approached Yan Ling. Jian Shu wanted to personally test whether Zhou Yanzhi had any ulterior motives.
At this time, Xie Wei was unaware that Zhou Yanzhi was actually Jiang Xuening's man.
Of course, a two-faced and treacherous person like Zhou Yanzhi could never truly submit to anyone. His collaboration and alliance with Jiang Xuening was merely a temporary act of forbearance.
When the time is right and he can seek better development, he will not hesitate to turn his gun on Jiang Xuening.
In the original storyline, Jiang Xuening's soft heart prevented her from recognizing Zhou Yanzhi's wickedness, which ultimately led to the death of her right-hand woman, You Fangying, at Zhou Yanzhi's hands.
When Chu Yuan saw it, she was so angry she almost vomited blood.
So she decided that she would attend the barbecue banquet at the Marquis's residence!
Even at the risk of arousing Xie Wei's suspicion, we must secretly eliminate Zhou Yanzhi's sharp tongue!
Let's consider this revenge for the original You Fangying!
