Chapter 51: The Miss is Fierce to Me
"Shuwei, why don't you give Rouge to Xinrou and apologize to her?" Li Jue frowned, a little unhappy. "What did I teach you before? If you want to marry into the Li family and become a daughter-in-law of a noble family, you must not be jealous and must be obedient. Even if you are not my fiancée now, you should remember what I taught you before. It will not harm you."
Ah, so the lady has a fiancé.
The smile on Zhao Yun's lips deepened, but the look in his eyes grew colder.
If Chengfeng were here, he would definitely scream and pull the irrelevant people away.
This is a sign that the prince is going crazy!
Li Jue grabbed Chen Shuwei's wrist and was about to force her to apologize to Chu Xinrou.
"Shu, Wei, sister, sister, you call me so affectionately." Zhao Yun pinched Li Jue's wrist and read out the four words word by word with a smile.
Li Jue's face turned pale due to the severe pain in his wrist, and he was forced to let go of the hand that was holding Shen Shuwei's wrist.
Shen Shuwei noticed that Li Jue looked unhappy, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yun's hand, "Jing Yin, let go."
Although the Li family has four sons, Li Jue is the one that Madam Li loves the most. If Jing Yin hurts Li Jue here, it will be difficult for the people in the Li family to deal with him.
Zhao Yun glanced at Shen Shuwei and saw the worried look on her face. He suddenly chuckled, released the hand that was holding Li Jue, and instead grabbed Shen Shuwei's hand and pulled her out.
Shen Shuwei was caught off guard by Zhao Yun and was grabbed by the hand, and was almost dragged out.
His steps were too big, and Shen Shuwei couldn't keep up, so he had to jog to catch up.
Chen Shuwei frowned and called him several times to stop, but Zhao Yun turned a deaf ear to her and just kept pulling her forward. They didn't stop until they reached a deserted alley.
Chen Shuwei was caught off guard and bumped into his strong back, hissing in pain.
"What are you doing!" Shen Shuwei shook off his hand and glared at him angrily.
Why did Jing Yin go crazy for no reason?
Those two idiots and the madman in the shop are enough to annoy her.
Zhao Yun leaned over and held Shen Shuwei's face. It was clearly a very gentle action, but Shen Shuwei felt a little creepy and subconsciously took half a step back, with his back against the wall.
"Miss, are you avoiding me?" Zhao Yun asked softly, curling his lips. "I treat you so well. I give you everything you want. Why are you avoiding me?"
His voice was very soft, like the whisper between lovers, but it was tinged with a hint of madness.
Shen Shu bit his lower lip, narrowed his eyes and looked at the crazy Zhao Yun quietly.
Is this Jing Yin’s true appearance?
Zhao Yun was completely unaware of Shen Shu's subtle gaze. He gently brushed his fingertips across her smooth, delicate cheek and asked in confusion, "Miss, do you like that Mr. Li? Do you want to marry him? That's why you were so angry in the shop."
Hearing this, Shen Shuwei interrupted Zhao Yun's madness and said, "I don't like Li Jue."
After a pause, fearing that Zhao Yun, who was in a frenzy, didn't know who Li Jue was, Shen Shuwei added: "That's the Young Master Li you mentioned, the one who follows Chu Xinrou."
Li Jue always puts Madam Li first in everything, and as a good son, he does whatever Madam Li says.
She had thought about breaking off the engagement before at the Jingning Marquis' Mansion, but Ji Jinglan was obsessed with the Li family's power and did not allow it.
Zhao Yun paused while stroking his cheek, and a strange laugh came out of his throat. The coldness in his eyes became even colder. "Liar, the lady is lying to me."
Jing Yin pinched his chin, which hurt a little. Shen Shu frowned and held his hand, "Jing Yin, you hurt me, let go."
Zhao Yun let go of her hand, but the next second she held Shen Shuwei's hand and covered her chest. In Shen Shuwei's shocked and embarrassed eyes, she curved her eyes and smiled, "Miss, you hurt me too."
"Look, it hurts here."
Chen Shuwei didn't understand why Jing Yin, such a handsome and handsome man, had gone so crazy, but now her hand was held tightly by him and she couldn't break free at all, so she could only stroke his hair.
"When have I ever lied to you and hurt your feelings?" Shen Shuwei asked helplessly.
Zhao Yun leaned closer, a hint of grievance in his voice, "Young lady was mean to me in the shop, forbidding me to hurt Mr. Li."
"I'm very sad."
As he spoke, Zhao Yun buried his head in the crook of Shen Shuwei's shoulder, sniffing the osmanthus fragrance in her hair.
Shen Shuwei felt an itch on his neck, and pinched Zhao Yun's chin with his free hand to get him away from his neck. "I wasn't being mean to you, I was just afraid that if you really hurt Li Jue, the Li family would come after you."
Shen Shuwei told Zhao Yun about the situation of the Li family. The Li family relied on military merit to make their fortune. Unlike the declining Jingning Marquis Mansion, their family held real power.
How could Jing Yin, a sickly man with amnesia, defeat them?
Zhao Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and her curled eyelashes trembled a few times, making her inexplicably endearing. "So, Miss, you don't like that Mr. Li?"
Shen Shuwei didn't understand why he was still entangled in the original question after she said so much, but she nodded and pulled his sleeve and walked out, "I don't like it, stop messing around, I still have to buy jewelry for Ayang."
-
When Shen Shuwei was taken away by the young man beside her, Li Jue felt a little annoyed and unhappy in his heart.
Even if he can't marry Chen Shuwei, Chen Shuwei can't find a pretty boy. After all, he still has Chen Shuwei in his heart, and this would be a betrayal for him.
Li Jue was thinking about Chen Shuwei, so after leaving the rouge shop, he found an excuse to let Chu Xinrou go back home alone, and he hurried to look for Chen Shuwei.
When Li Jue saw Shen Shuwei walking out of a jewelry store, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He hurried forward and blocked Shen Shuwei's way.
"Sister Shuwei, are you angry that I didn't marry you as promised, but instead made an engagement with Xinrou, so you threw a tantrum at me in the rouge shop?" Li Jue felt that Shen Shuwei's cold eyes just now were just because she was jealous of Chu Xinrou.
As a woman, it is understandable that she is jealous of him and fights with him. It is also understandable that he cannot forgive Shen Shuwei's ignorance just now.
Shen Shuwei got a headache when he saw Li Jue, but fortunately Zhao Yun was still inside and didn't see this scene.
She frowned and looked at Li Jue, "Master Li and I only knew each other because of our parents' orders. Now we don't even have an engagement, so we are no different from strangers."
Li Jue refused to listen to Shen Shuwei's explanation. Everything Shen Shuwei said sounded like jealousy to him.
So he lowered his head and looked at Shen Shuwei with tenderness in his eyes, "I know that sister Shuwei has me in her heart, but mother insists that I marry Xinrou. You know, your status is not as good as Xinrou."
Shen Shuwei's eyelids twitched.
Li Jue continued, "Xinrou told me on the way that she has a way to help me become the heir of the Marquisate and inherit the title. I have no choice but to marry her."
"Sister Shuwei and I have known each other for many years, and you know my ambitions and the situation in my family. I hope you can be more generous and understand my difficulties, and stop being jealous of Xinrou."
Ambition? What ambition? The lofty ambition of becoming the crown prince by relying on a woman?
