Chapter 295 Feeling anxious and uncertain, does Pei Yuan like her?
Laughing Guanyin?
Pei Yuan recalled that on the day Li Anning asked for a marriage decree, Luo Heng had indeed given Shen Chu a small box.
Could it be that the Laughing Guanyin is inside?
A bitter laugh came from inside the room.
“A-Chu doesn’t like it.”
"Why? That was carefully selected by you, young master, and blessed by the abbot of Jingguo Temple."
"Sigh, Ah Chu is too perceptive. He could tell at a glance that the Laughing Guanyin pendant was a pair with the one I was wearing."
He immediately guessed what I was thinking, knowing the symbolism of being in pairs.
"Young Master Shen has refused the young master?"
This time, Luo Heng remained silent for a long time before speaking, his voice filled with undisguised frustration.
"It's more than just rejection. Ah Chu... he said he would never like a homosexual, would never have any strange feelings for any man, and had no special hobbies."
He also said that if I still harbor such filthy thoughts, he will no longer consider me a good friend or brother.
I...sigh, I can't blame A-Chu for looking at me with such disgust and loathing. Ultimately, it was my own foolishness to have such filthy thoughts about A-Chu.
I would never like a homosexual, not even until I die!
She will not develop any unusual feelings for any man!
Pei Yuan pursed his thin lips, his fists clenched tightly together, veins bulging.
Who's outside?
A cold shout suddenly came from inside the house, and Luo Heng opened the door and came out.
Upon seeing Pei Yuan, he paused for a moment, then calmly asked, "Sixth Prince, are you here to see A-Chu?"
Pei Yuan nodded. "Where is he?"
"Sixth Prince is late; A-Chu just left not long ago."
Pei Yuan lowered his eyes, then suddenly turned and left.
"Sixth Prince!"
Luo Heng's voice sounded from behind.
Pei Yuan stopped, without turning around, and asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"
Luo Heng hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "If Your Highness heard anything just now, could you please keep it a secret for me?"
Pei Yuan gave a soft chuckle.
Why should I keep it a secret for you?
Luo Heng sighed, then gave a bitter smile.
"That's right. When I gave it to Achu Guanyin, I had already made a complete fool of myself in front of him."
Later, I swore to him that it was all a joke, and he didn't tell anyone.
Last time I said that Ah Chu and I also had a secret, I was referring to this matter, and now Your Highness knows it too.
Pei Yuan snorted coldly, "This prince has no interest in your secrets."
Luo Heng looked at him and suddenly sneered.
"Are you really alright? Can Your Highness pat your chest and say that you truly have no ulterior motives towards A-Chu?"
I've already tasted the bitterness of being disliked and hated by A-Chu. Sixth Prince, you'd better watch yourself.
Pei Yuan clenched his fist, then turned and left.
Luo Heng watched his retreating figure, a strange smile appearing on his face.
Wanqiu came out of the house and asked softly:
"Why did you help Chen Chu leave, young master? If you expose her true identity as a woman disguised as a man at this time and falsely accuse the Sixth Prince of protecting her, it will make His Majesty lose trust in the Sixth Prince."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Luo Heng's lips.
"For Pei Yuan, simply losing the emperor's trust is far too easy."
"This servant does not understand why you would say such things in front of the Sixth Prince?"
Luo Heng looked up at the cold crescent moon in the sky and sneered.
"It's nothing more than that when we were moving the Shen family's remains today, I noticed that Pei Yuan's gaze towards A Chu was full of heartache."
Wanqiu, do you know? Once a person falls in love, they will be caught in the whirlpool of emotions, feeling anxious and uncertain.
He would constantly try to test the other person's thoughts, express his feelings, and get a response from them.
Even the usually cold and ruthless Sixth Prince would be no exception.
As Luo Heng spoke, the smile on his face became increasingly eerie.
"But he didn't know that Shen Chu was a woman, so he was conflicted and hesitant."
My words today have driven another nail into his heart, plunging him into a state of hesitation, entanglement, and anxiety, while he is afraid of being disliked by Achu and can only suppress his feelings.
I said I would make him experience the pain of being rejected and unable to get what he wanted, and then let him die a miserable death.
Next, let's enjoy watching the Sixth Prince suffer and drift in the whirlpool of emotions.
"Why did he have to fall for Ah Chu of all people?"
Wanqiu hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, you've gone to such lengths to help Lord Shen escape, do you really have no other intentions towards Lord Shen?"
Luo Heng's cold gaze fell upon her.
Wanqiu pursed her lips, "This servant has overstepped her bounds again. This servant was merely reminding the young master not to forget the hatred."
A cold glint flashed in Luo Heng's eyes.
"Wanqiu, don't keep trying to test my mind. I've said it before, I won't have any other thoughts until I avenge my great grudge."
Also, I have my own plans regarding Achu's matter, and you are not allowed to act on your own without my permission.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
------
When Pei Yuan returned to the manor, Jinbao came running over with a food box.
"Your Highness, the lotus seed and white fungus soup is ready. Please take it to Lord Shen quickly."
Young Master Shen will surely be moved by His Highness's thoughtfulness and attentiveness when he sees this.
Pei Yuan stretched out his hand halfway, paused, and then withdrew it.
"I'm tired, you can take it over."
"Huh?" Jinbao's smile froze.
"Your Highness, if you send me to deliver it, isn't that like carrying a stone up Mount Tai? It's exhausting and I won't get any credit."
"Your Highness should deliver it personally. If it's not suitable for Lord Shen..."
Pei Yuan suddenly raised his foot and kicked.
"Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking nonsense and get lost!"
Jinbao had no choice but to deliver the soup with a pitiful expression, while simultaneously praising his prince.
Hmph, Jinbao is wronged, but Jinbao won't say anything.
When Shen Chu heard him say that Pei Yuan had personally instructed the kitchen to prepare the white fungus soup, she felt both comforted and inexplicably happy.
Pei Yuan's attentive care for her must mean he likes her, right?
"Where is your prince? Is he still in the palace and hasn't returned yet?"
Jinbao's smile froze slightly.
I'm back now; I'm cutting potato shreds in the yard next door.
His Highness is slicing potatoes again, which is almost devastating news for all the servants in the manor.
Jinbao gave a vague reply to Shen Chu's two sentences and returned to the Sixth Prince's residence, only to see a fleeting figure before him.
He rubbed his eyes and saw a basket full of washed potatoes in the yard.
A large basin on the ground was filled with finely shredded potatoes, each one as thin as a hair.
His Highness, however, has disappeared.
Jinbao squatted on the ground, feeling even more like crying.
His Highness doesn't even want to cut potato shreds anymore; he must have been really upset this time.
The next morning, at the Shen family ancestral graves.
As soon as Shen Chu entered the cemetery, he saw rows of brand-new tombstones erected.
She asked in surprise, "Lord Yu, you didn't sleep all night?"
Lord Yu wiped his sweat, chuckled dryly, and kept glancing to the right.
They wanted to sleep, but they didn't know what had gotten into the Sixth Prince, waking everyone up in the middle of the night to erect a tombstone.
Carving and erecting a tombstone in the middle of the night? It's eerie and terrifying.
Is this something a normal person could do?
Aren't they afraid that a ghost will suddenly appear and grab them?
But the Sixth Prince stood before the tomb of Marquis Ning'an, cold as ice, scaring everyone so much that they had to work even while shrinking back, gritting their teeth, and trembling.
Otherwise, the Sixth Prince might have to kill them before the ghosts could scare them to death.
Shen Chu followed Lord Yu's gaze and walked to Pei Yuan's side.
Pei Yuan was holding a piece of paper in his hand, his brows furrowed.
"What is Sixth Brother looking at?"
Pei Yuan glanced at her, then quickly looked away.
Why didn't you erect a tombstone for your sister, Shen Chuchu?
