Chapter 16 Why does Chen Shuwei want to snatch everything from her?
On the other side, because the noble ladies' fight was too ridiculous, the old lady was so angry that she almost fainted, and screamed for someone to separate the two of them.
The maids woke up as if from a dream and hurried forward to separate the two people.
Chu Xinrou's hair was disheveled, and she looked like a mad woman. Chen Wan had scratched her cheek, leaving a long mark. She sobbed and cried in pain.
Those who were on good terms with Chu Xinrou wanted to step forward and offer some words of comfort, but were held back by their elders.
They had heard what Chen Wan had said just now. They didn't dare to make close friends with someone who was full of lies and stole their money to pave the way for herself.
Only Elder Yan Yan was not there. She glared at Shen Wan fiercely and pulled a handkerchief to wipe Chu Xinrou's tears. "Are those people in the Shen family crazy? They are so rude that they hit you at your family recognition banquet."
"Don't be afraid, Xinrou. Wait until I tell my brother and let him vent his anger for you."
Chu Xinrou cried sadly, she knew that today's family reunion banquet was ruined.
It’s Chen Shuwei, it’s all because of Chen Shuwei that everything turned out like this!
Chu Xinrou looked at Shen Shuwei, who was protected by Shen Zhang, with resentment. She had snatched away her second brother and ruined her family recognition banquet. She wanted her to pay the price.
Chen Shuwei had seen enough of the show and had no appetite to dine at the Marquis' Mansion, so he and Shen Zhang and others prepared to go home.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving the Chuihua Gate, Chen Shuwei realized that the Pisces jade pendant on his waist had been lost at some point, but it was clearly still there when he was talking to Chu Xinrou.
This jade pendant was the first gift Shen Zhiyang gave her when she returned to the Shen family. Shen Shuwei cherished it very much and didn't want to lose it in such an unclear way. She wanted to go back to look for it immediately and asked Shen Zhiyang and Shen Zhang to go back first.
"Third sister, doesn't you need me and second brother to accompany you?" Shen Zhiyang looked at Shen Shuwei worriedly.
There are so many bad people in the Marquis of Jingning’s Mansion, and she is worried about leaving her third sister alone.
Shen Shuwei has lived in the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years, and he is familiar with the roads here than anyone else. "Ayang, don't worry. I will be back as soon as I find the jade pendant."
After much persuasion, Shen Zhiyang finally agreed to go back to the carriage with Shen Zhang to wait for her.
After seeing the two off, Chen Shuwei breathed a sigh of relief and walked back along the way he came.
Second brother and Ayang were obviously depressed after seeing Chu Xinrou, so she sent them back to avoid meeting Chu Xinrou again.
After what happened just now, Chu Xinrou's family recognition banquet was completely ruined. Many guests went home, and the Marquis' Mansion became much quieter.
Chen Shuwei frowned and looked around the flower hall where he had just stayed, but he didn't see the Pisces jade pendant, so he could only continue walking inside.
Behind the flower hall is a deserted garden, overgrown with weeds and rarely visited.
Chen Shuwei took a few steps and saw the Pisces jade pendant lying quietly in the weeds.
Just as she was wondering how her jade pendant got here, she suddenly felt a strong force on her back. Shen Shuwei's hair stood on end and she fell towards a bottomless pit in front of her.
The incident happened so quickly that Shen Shuwei didn't even have time to react. When she came to her senses, she had already fallen to the bottom of the pit, and she felt a piercing pain in her ankle.
Chen Shuwei gritted his teeth, supported himself on the wet earth wall and stood up, looking up at the edge of the pit.
The pit was one and a half people high, and she couldn't climb up at all.
Someone wants to harm her.
In an instant, Shen Shuwei thought about the people she had offended, and felt that there were many people in the Marquis' Mansion who wanted to harm her.
Not to mention the old lady and Chu Xinrou whom he offended today, even Chu Yunlan disliked him.
Just as Shen Shuwei was wondering whether this person simply wanted to push him into the pit or had a backup plan, a series of light and shallow footsteps were heard.
Chen Shuwei was shocked and subconsciously clenched the jade pendant, looking up in panic.
I saw a familiar, pure and otherworldly face appear at the edge of the pit, and raised his eyebrows.
"Why is the girl here? It's so easy for me to find her."
Zhao Yun looked at her with a smile, gently twisted his hands that had just killed someone, and kicked the unconscious maid into the bushes.
It's so embarrassing, there's blood on his cheek.
Zhao Yun looked at Shen Shuwei as if he was looking at a dirty stray cat that was being bullied.
Seeing that the person coming was Jing Yin, Shen Shuwei breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could finish his breath, the person squatting on the edge of the pit jumped down.
Shen Shuwei was startled, "Why did you jump down?"
Is it not miserable enough for her to be alone at the bottom of the pit?
Zhao Yun reached out and wiped the blood off her cheek, sighing softly, "It hasn't been long since I left, and you're already in such a mess."
Shen Shuwei felt a sudden chill on his spine, and subconsciously dragged his injured foot back.
Jing Yin gave her the inexplicable feeling of a poisonous snake coiling in the dark.
Seeing her dodge, Zhao Yun curled the corners of his lips, took a half step closer, and said in a gentle and harmless voice, "Miss, why are you hiding? I'm here to rescue you."
After saying this, he did not forget to show his beautiful and harmless face, "Don't be afraid, girl."
Shen Shu was caught off guard when he grabbed her hand and forced it onto his narrow waist.
Through a thin layer of summer clothes, Chen Shuwei could clearly feel that his waist was like a bowstring ready to be released, taut and powerful.
Before Chen Shuwei could think vaguely, his waist suddenly tightened and the scene in front of him flew away.
When I came to my senses, I was already standing on solid ground.
"You——" Shen Shuwei withdrew her hand, staring at him with a complicated expression, opened her eyes, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long moment, he asked, "Have you recovered your memory?"
Otherwise, how could a sickly person who coughed up blood and fainted due to anger at any time become a knight who could go to heaven and earth?
Zhao Yun looked at her, chuckled twice, blinked his wet eyes, and clung to her like a puppy. "No, it's just a memory of my body."
"It's all thanks to the young lady's careful care these days." Zhao Yun said readily.
Chen Shuwei was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chu Xinrou standing not far away with a resentful look on her face.
The two looked at each other, and Chu Xinrou avoided his gaze in panic.
Yes, she was the one who asked someone to push Shen Shuwei down.
She came over specifically to admire her desperate look of begging for mercy, but who knew that she would be rescued by someone.
And the man who saved her——
Chu Xinrou looked at Zhao Yun and her breathing stopped.
This man was more handsome than any other man she had ever seen before, and even none of the men who came to the banquet today could compare to him.
Seeing his extraordinary and noble temperament, Chu Xinrou subconsciously concluded that he was a young man from a noble family who came to attend the family recognition banquet, and who might even be a prince.
Thinking that such a distinguished figure from Tsinghua University actually rescued Shen Shuwei, Chu Xinrou's heart tightened, and she clenched her fists. She walked towards him as if she was passing by here casually.
"Sir, you are here for the banquet, right? The banquet is in front. Would you like me to take you there?" Chu Xinrou's voice was gentle. She bowed and saluted. When she saluted, she deliberately bent her neck, revealing a section of frosty skin.
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have just seen Shen Shuwei and exclaimed, "Why is Miss Shen here, and she is in such a mess."
Shen Shuwei looked at her, suddenly chuckled, and slapped her in the face quickly and fiercely, his eyes full of hostility.
"Do you want to get out of here now or do I kick you into that hole?"
When Chu Xinrou appeared here, she knew who pushed her.
Chu Xinrou covered her burning face and looked at Chen Shuwei in disbelief. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Zhao Yun with tears in her eyes. "I don't know how I offended Miss Shen. I am a daughter of the Marquis' Mansion after all. How could she slap me?"
She looked like she had suffered a great injustice and hoped that Zhao Yun would take care of it for her.
What a pity, if it were any other man, he might have stepped forward to comfort her by now, but Zhao Yun is not an ordinary person, he is a madman.
Zhao Yun's eyes fell on Chu Xinrou's face, and he raised his lips slightly when he thought of the information his men had investigated about Chen Shuwei.
This is the person who replaced her identity as the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. Not only is she ugly but also stupid. She is really useless and was driven out of the Marquis' Mansion by such a person.
Chu Xinrou didn't miss Zhao Yun's smile. She was about to continue complaining excitedly when she heard a clear voice, "You're a bit of an eyesore. Could you please stay away from me?"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Chen Shuwei tenderly, "Miss, did that hit your hand hurt just now?"
Shen Shuwei couldn't help laughing out loud.
Chu Xinrou's face turned pale. She covered her swollen face and tried to maintain a smile. "Are you joking, sir?"
Is he blind? Didn't he see the slap mark on her face?
It was obviously she who was wronged, and it was Shen Shuwei who was rude and difficult with her, so why did he turn around and comfort Shen Shuwei!
Just like those ignorant women at the banquet, one by one they all spoke up for Shen Shuwei, but today was clearly her family reunion banquet, and she was the one who should be in the spotlight and be pitied, wasn't it?
Why, why did Shen Shuwei want to take everything from her? Couldn't she just stay in the Shen family and wait for exile!
Chu Xinrou clenched her fingers tightly, her sharp nails piercing into her flesh, causing a sharp pain. She could not hide the jealousy in her eyes.
"I never joke."
Zhao Yun supported Chen Shuwei as they walked out. When he brushed past Chu Xinrou, he raised his lips slightly and said slowly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If you look at me like that again, I won't be able to help but cut them off and use them as balls for my lady to step on."
Chu Xinrou's face suddenly turned pale, and she felt a piercing pain in her heart.
