Chapter 81 Zhao Yun was slapped
Shen Shuwei understood the meaning of his words and lowered his eyes to thank him.
It seems that the prince will still adopt the same method as in his previous life.
Ruan Qiwen looked deeply at Zhao Yun standing on the steps, and helped Wang Peilan get into the carriage.
As soon as he entered the carriage, Wang Peilan slapped his hand away and stared at him, "Son, tell me the truth, are you attracted to Miss Shen?"
Ruan Qiwen smiled lightly and did not deny, "My son has met Miss Shen before, and today is the second time."
Wang Peilan's heart was completely broken, and she collapsed in the carriage, sighing. Ruan Jingtang ate the cakes that Shen Shuwei gave her without raising her head, "Mom, weren't you hoping last night that Second Brother would take a fancy to Sister Shen so that he could marry her home and be my sister-in-law? Now that Second Brother has taken a fancy to Sister Shen, why are you still sighing?"
"Could it be that you think your second brother was too slow because he didn't propose to you right away?" Ruan Jingtang asked, raising his face covered with pastry crumbs.
Wang Peilan was so angry that she sat up and was about to twist her ear, but Ruan Qiwen quickly reached out to stop her, "I know what you're worried about, mother. That young man who suddenly appeared has a close relationship with Miss Shen. Is that what you're worried about?"
Wang Peilan sighed, patted Ruan Qiwen's hand, and said earnestly, "It's good that you know. I heard everything at home. That Master Jing was raised by Miss Shen in the mansion. Not only is he handsome, but he's also frail and sickly. His guards would often invite Miss Shen to sit in his courtyard."
"You can't compete with him."
Ruan Qiwen was amused by his mother's tone and said helplessly, "What are you talking about, mother? Are you comparing your son to a concubine vying for favor?"
“Since Miss Shen is not married yet, my son still has a chance.”
Wang Peilan realized that her explanation was useless and instead caused her son to rush to argue, so she remained silent.
Ruan Jingtang raised her head, looked at her mother and then at her second brother, slowly swallowed the cake in her mouth, and took a sip of tea from the teacup. "In my opinion, my second brother is not without a chance."
Wang Peilan glared at her.
Ruan Jingtang continued, "I heard from Second Young Master Shen that Mr. Jing was picked up by him and Sister Shen in the suburbs of Beijing. He is only living in the mansion temporarily because of his amnesia. Second Young Master Shen said that he will leave the mansion sooner or later."
Thinking of the way Shen Zhang gritted his teeth as he looked at Master Jing's courtyard on the road, Ruan Jingtang felt that he and Sister Shen would never be together.
Just like herself, if she found a man that neither her second brother nor her eldest brother liked, they would be torn apart by them sooner or later.
Wang Peilan didn't say anything when she heard the voice, but stared at her daughter, "Jingtang, tell me the truth, did something happen to you at home today? Why did Shen Erlang come back with you?"
Ruan Jingtang blinked her big black eyes and said, "Nothing happened. We just bumped into each other on the road."
"Mom, do you think it's inappropriate for me to meet a stranger in private?"
Wang Peilan reached out and poked her forehead. "We don't have such feudal and pedantic rules in our family. Mother was just asking casually."
Ruan Jingtang said "oh" and turned to look at Ruan Qiwen with a smile, "Will Second Brother be home tomorrow?"
Ruan Qiwen has always doted on this sister and smiled gently, "Tomorrow, the genius doctor Yun will come to our house to treat our fourth brother. I have asked for leave and will stay at home to take care of him."
Ruan Jingtang stopped talking immediately, her eyes darting around, and she hugged Ruan Qiwen's arm and acted coquettishly, "Second brother, I found a craftsman who will come to my house to make a swing for me tomorrow."
Ruan Qiwen knew her character well. She wouldn't beg him for help just because of a swing. "Where did you get the craftsman?"
Thinking about the swing she had begged for, Ruan Jingtang felt a little uncomfortable. "Don't worry about this, Second Brother. Anyway, a craftsman will come to my yard to build a swing for me tomorrow. I just want to tell you in advance."
In order to avoid her mother seeing Chen Zhang chasing her all over the house tomorrow, she had informed him in advance.

The atmosphere at Shen Shuwei's place was not as joyful as that at the Ruan family's.
After learning the news that the prince had taken action, she wanted to rush to the outskirts of Beijing, but was stopped by Zhao Yun.
"Miss, won't you explain to me?" Zhao Yun had a smile on her face as usual, but if you look closely, there was no smile in her eyes.
Shen Shuwei raised his eyes to look at him, "If you have anything to ask me, wait until I come back. I don't have time to talk to you about these things now."
As she spoke, Shen Shuwei walked around Zhao Yun and tried to leave, but he grabbed her arm.
"I saw it. He hugged the young lady, and his hand was on her waist." Zhao Yun exerted a little force with his hand, and Chen Shu staggered and fell into his arms, just like he had just sprained his ankle and fell into Ruan Qiwen's arms.
Zhao Yun clasped Shen Shuwei's waist with one hand and rubbed it gently, "Just like this."
Chen Shuwei's waist was rubbed so hard that it itched, and her legs almost gave out and she fell to the ground. She glared at him with a hint of anger in her clear almond-shaped eyes, "Jing Yin, let go."
When he goes crazy, can he choose the right time and place?
"No." Zhao Yun bent down, rested his head on her shoulder, and hugged her tighter. "I'm not feeling well. Miss, you don't love me anymore."
Chen Shuwei reached out to push him, but failed. The frail man who usually coughed every three steps didn't know where he got the strength from, but he didn't move at all.
"Let go!" Shen Shuwei shouted sternly.
The cool soft lips brushed across the neck and landed on the earlobe, "Miss, you are still mean to me."
A tingling sensation spread from his neck to behind his ears. Shen Shuwei thought of what the little girl said for no reason and said calmly, "I'll say it again, let go."
She was responded with a tighter embrace and hot breath behind her ear.
Shen Shuwei closed his eyes.
"Snap." The crisp sound stunned both of them, and Xun Xiao, who was standing not far away and watching, even twitched his eyelids.
What did he see? The prince got slapped?!
While Zhao Yun was stunned, Chen Shuwei pushed him away and called Yun Ling to follow him out of the city.
Zhao Yun stood there without saying a word, but just reached out and gently touched the slightly hot cheek.
Xun Xiao wanted to go forward to check the wound, but was stunned in place by the gaze as deep and silent as a cold pond.
This look reminded Xun Xiao of the time when the princess passed away. At that time, the princess died of illness, and the prince's younger brother joined forces with the prince to have him buried alive with her. The prince had this kind of look in his eyes.
Afterwards, the prince became seriously ill and was bedridden, and several servants in the palace were frightened to death.
Xun Xiao subconsciously looked at Chen Shuwei, who was harnessing her carriage to leave the city.
"Chen——" Xun Xiao wanted to keep the person, but was stopped by Zhao Yun's eyes.
“Can anyone be more important than me… I was abandoned in the past because I was useless, but now I am obviously more useful than those who are only a drag, why am I still abandoned?” Zhao Yun murmured, his dark eyes staring at Xun Xiao, seeking an answer.
Xun Xiao now deeply regretted agreeing to stay in the Shen Mansion and stay with the prince.
He looked at Shen Shuwei for help.
If Miss Shen really leaves like this, everyone in the Shen Mansion will probably become stiff when she comes back.
Perhaps it was because Xun Xiao's desire to survive was too strong that caused his gaze to be overly eager, but Chen Shuwei turned his head and frowned as he looked at the master and servant on the steps.
