Chapter 133 You will regret not taking me back to the Shen family
Jiang Heng turned his palm over and grasped the peace locket, his eyebrows and eyes remained calm. "Who gave you this peace locket?"
"It was Chu Xinrou, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion. I hit it off with her at the hunting ground. After chatting for a few minutes, I accidentally saw the peace locket hanging around her neck. It looked familiar, so I asked her for it." Anyang said nervously.
"How is this possible!" Lin Yan strode in and interrupted Anyang. "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingning's residence only returned to her ancestral home a few months ago. How could she be the princess's daughter?"
After saying this, he saluted Jiang Heng with a stiff expression, "Prince, this concerns the princess and the marquis's heir, so you must be very cautious."
Anyang thinks of himself as the master and Lin Yan as just a servant. Not only has he been taking advantage of Qiao in front of her these days, but now he is questioning everything she says to Jiang Heng. It is obvious that he does not take his master seriously.
He immediately replied unhappily, "This jade pendant is a pair with the one on my brother's neck. How could it be fake?"
"And Chu Xinrou also said that she has worn this since she was a child, even when she was in swaddling clothes."
Lin Yan pursed his lips and said nothing, but his furrowed brows showed his disapproval.
Jiang Heng gently stroked the peace locket in his palm, "Anyang, you go down first."
Anyang looked at Jiang Heng and said coquettishly, "Brother—could it be that you believe Lin Yan but not me?"
Jiang Heng glanced at her sideways, "How many times have I told you that Commander Lin is an old man who has been with my father and mother through thick and thin for many years? How can you call him by his name? Apologize to him and then go back to your courtyard."
Anyang was humiliated by Jiang Heng. Seeing him scolding him for a servant, he felt very aggrieved.
Just because she wasn't born from Princess Lin Zhao's womb, they treated her like this. A lowly servant could climb over her head, and Jiang Heng, as her brother, not only didn't support her, but he actually asked her to apologize for a servant.
How can a master apologize to his servants?
But even though he was full of complaints, Anyang still apologized to Lin Yan honestly, "It was my words that offended Commander Lin. Please don't be offended, Commander Lin."
Lin Yan dodged aside and did not accept her greeting. He said with a stern face, "It's okay. Princess, please go back and rest."
Anyang bit his lower lip and walked out with a pale face.
Seeing Anyang walk away, Lin Yan stood up and closed the door himself. His eyes fell on the peace locket in Jiang Heng's palm. "What do you think of this peace locket and Miss Chu from the Marquis of Jingning's mansion?"
Jiang Heng casually threw the peace locket on the table, looked up at Lin Yan with a half-smile, "Uncle Lin, you are not an impatient person in the past, why did you lose your composure tonight?"
"Or have you made any other discoveries?"
Lin Yan's eyelids twitched, and he secretly cursed Jiang Heng for being so clever.
Knowing he couldn't hide it from this little fox, Lin Yan told him everything he had seen and heard at the Shen family. After hesitating for a moment, he added, "The profile of the third young lady of the Shen family looks a lot like you, my lord."
It's like they were carved from the same mold.
Jiang Heng sighed slowly, his eyes sweeping over the peace locket. "First it was Miss Chu from the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion, and now there's Miss Shen San. How come as soon as the news of my mother and I going to the capital was released, someone like this suddenly appeared to claim kinship."
"Is it because my Northern Frontier is too big that it has attracted people's attention?" Jiang Heng's words suddenly turned cold.
Lin Yan's expression became serious. "I was the one who took the initiative to find the third young lady from the Shen family, but—"
Lin Yan changed the subject and said, "Now that things have come to this, what are you going to do, Prince?"
"Sister, I haven't seen you for sixteen years. Not only does my mother miss you, but I miss you too." Jiang Heng said with a smile, "Since you and Anyang each have candidates, why not invite them to your house?"
One has a token of his pair, and the other is born with a face similar to his. This is really interesting.
Luojing is indeed much more lively than the northern border.

When Chen Shuwei received the invitation from the Huaiyuan Marquis's residence, he was stunned for a moment. "Didn't Prince Jiang just arrive in the capital last night? Why is he sending out invitations to all the women in Luojing today?"
Chen Zhang stood nearby, watching eagerly. "Jiang Heng and his sister Anyang haven't even proposed marriage yet, and now they've invited young men and women from Luojing. Could it be that they're going to meet each other?"
When he said this, Shen Zhang's face turned sour.
"Third sister, why don't you just refuse? The Northern Frontier is a bitterly cold place, and there are constant harassments from the Northern Rong people. It's not a good place to be."
Chen Shuwei couldn't help laughing, "Second brother, what are you talking about?"
She lowered her head to look at the invitation in her hand, and for some reason she remembered what the commander of the guards beside Princess Anyang had said to her on the day the results were announced.
Her profile looks very much like Prince Jiang, and they are the same age.
"Princess Lin Zhao gave birth to twins that year."
The words of Commander Lin are still ringing in my ears.
Chen Shuwei's eyelashes trembled and she put the post away.
When Shen Zhang saw that Shen Shuwei was planning to attend the banquet, he immediately became extremely alert and insisted on accompanying Shen Shuwei to the banquet.
Chen Shuwei couldn't persuade him, so he had to take Shen Zhang with him the next morning.
"Second brother, are you worrying too much? Even if it's the wedding banquet between Prince Jiang and Princess Anyang, he may not be interested in me." Shen Shuwei sat in the carriage, helplessly looking at Shen Zhang who was sitting upright opposite him.
Chen Zhang shook his head at her inscrutable way, "Third sister, you still don't know your own face well enough."
In the past few months since her third sister returned to the Shen family, countless flies have been buzzing around her.
Even among the imperial guards, some people speculated and asked him about Shen Shuwei.
Seeing that Chen Zhang was getting stuck in a rut, Chen Shuwei was helpless and stopped talking.
The two men stopped in front of the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion. As soon as they got off the carriage, they ran into an old friend.
Chu Xinrou was wearing a smoky pink dress, with a pink peach blossom hairpin in her hair, and her makeup was exceptionally delicate and delicate.
When she saw Shen Shuwei and Shen Zhang, something flashed in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip and walked over softly, "Second brother, you were instigated by Shen Shuwei and refused to let me return to the Shen family. You will regret it after today."
Chen Shuwei raised his eyebrows.
Hmm? Who provoked her again?
Chen Zhang frowned impatiently, "You took away most of the Shen family's property and returned to the Marquis' Mansion to recognize your relatives without caring about the lives of others. What's wrong with me that I want you to return to the Shen family?"
Chu Xinrou didn't expect Chen Zhang's words to be so blunt. Her face immediately turned ugly. She bit her lip and said, "But I've called you Second Brother for sixteen years. How can you just ignore me and ignore me? When did your heart become so cold and hard?"
Without waiting for Shen Zhang to refute, Chu Xinrou suddenly raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing confidence, "But after today, you will definitely regret not taking me back to the Shen family."
"No, since you left the Shen family, you have nothing to do with me and other people in the Shen family. We don't care whether you live a good or bad life, so why should you regret it?" Shen Zhang said unhappily.
