The Shen family carefully controlled themselves and tried not to do anything too embarrassing. Fortunately, Shen Mochi was not brought out today. He was still too young, and the banquet was too complicated with too many uncontrollable factors, so they simply did not bring him.

They often imitate others, with a smile on their faces, looking at others calmly, and responding to others' curious gazes with a smile.

Fortunately, they have experienced many ups and downs during the time they have been with Shen Li, and their psychological ability to withstand shocks is no longer at the same level as before, so they can still hold on.

Su Zhihui was sitting in a front seat, of course she got there thanks to her grandparents. When she saw Shen Li coming, she pulled her brother to say something to the elders and came to the Shen's house.

"Ali~"

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

After saying hello, Su Zhihui moved closer to Shen Li and took her arm.

"Ahui and the eldest master are here."

Su Zhihui was next to Shen Li, and her eyes were secretly glancing at Shen Qi'an behind her. Shen Li knew what she was thinking, so she said, "Ahui, you stay here first. I'll go talk to my fourth brother."

Su Zhihui glanced at her, her eyes full of coquettishness, and raised her hand to gently hit her arm.

"Oh, Ah Hui wants to go too, let's go."

Shen Li took him to a table at the back and stood next to Shen Qian'an.

"Ah Hui, are you used to being in Beijing these days?"

Su Zhihui's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Shen Qian'an.

"Fourth brother, don't worry. I've been to the capital before. But you guys, the soil and water in the capital are much drier than in the south of the Yangtze River. Are you used to it?"

"good."

In fact, I was not used to it when I first came here. I had to get up several times at night, always because I was woken up by thirst. I could only go back to sleep after getting up and drinking a glass of water.

But these are just small things, he can adapt to them, so there is no need to tell Ah Hui.

Su Zhihui glanced at Shen Qian'an and whispered, "Fourth brother, my grandfather has learned about our engagement, and he asked you to visit us another day."

In fact, the original words were not like this. When Su Zhihui's grandfather learned that his parents had arranged such a marriage for him, he was very angry and threatened to go to Magistrate Su to settle the score. In the end, he was stopped by Su Heng.

Seeing Su Zhihui's expression, Shen Qi'an knew what she was talking about. He gave her a reassuring look and said, "Okay, I'll visit you another day."

Su Zhihui nodded slightly, "Fourth brother, my grandfather may come to embarrass you, but don't worry, my grandfather can't make the decision on this marriage."

When Shen Qian'an saw how he was thinking about her, he really wanted to touch her head, but considering that there were so many people here, he gave up the idea.

"What are you doing? My young lady's dress is made of brocade, it's very expensive. You look so poor, can you afford to pay for it?"

As the three were talking, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the front, and Shen Li walked towards the table in front.

When Li Qianru passed by this table, Su Heng was standing next to it. She had never seen Su Heng in Beijing before and thought that Su Heng was Shen Li's family member, so she came here to make trouble.

At that time, Su Heng was holding a glass of wine in his hand. The little girl next to Li Qianru bumped to the side, and the glass of wine spilled on the hem of Li Qianru's skirt.

Su Heng saw that it was his wine that stained the girl's skirt, so he apologized gently: "I'm sorry, young lady."

Li Qianru didn't say anything, just looked at him. He looked like a good guy, so how could he be the family member of that bitch?

Shen Li came over and understood the cause of the incident. It was all caused by herself.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I'm afraid you've been dragged down by me in this matter."

Su Heng shook his head, "It was my wine that stained the hem of this girl's skirt."

Shen Li looked at Li Qianru, "Miss Li, it has been half a year since we last met in the North. I didn't expect Miss Li to become like this."

If Su Heng was not here today, and Li Qianru came to cause trouble, and I was not here, the Shen family would be bullied.

Li Qianru took Bai Shuran's arm and looked at Shen Li with disdain, "Who are you? When have I seen you before?"

Shen Li chuckled, "I didn't recognize her at first, but the look on Miss Shen's face... reminded me of her."

Li Qianru was almost jumped up and down because her sore spot was touched. This bitch kept bringing up all sorts of issues.

"So it's you. Weren't you dressed as a man at that time? And you were following Prince Jingnan."

Li Qianru spoke louder and louder, "I wonder how you, a girl, can go to the north alone, and stay with Prince Jingnan. What is your relationship with him?"

Feeling the disdainful gazes of the people around her scanning her body, Shen Li smiled, "That doesn't seem to be Miss Li's business. I don't know if I remembered it wrongly, but it seems that Miss Li once expressed her feelings to the prince."

Hearing this, Bai Shuran glanced at Li Qianru beside him. If this was really the case, then what was the purpose of her giving him advice?

Li Qianru felt that the eyes around her who were originally looking at Shen Li shifted to her, and her back teeth were almost broken.

"You bullshit!"

"Who are you to dare to speak to me like this!"

If you can't win the argument, attack her based on her identity.

Su Zhihui also walked over to Shen Li and asked, "Who are you? There are so many people here, is it your turn to jump?"

Su Zhihui was not afraid. Her grandmother said that the ladies from wealthy families in Beijing were well-educated and well-mannered. If they met someone who was domineering, they could just scold him back. Her grandfather would support them.

Li Qianru glanced at Su Zhihui and said, "Who are you? I haven't seen you in Beijing for so many years. It's really lively today. All kinds of small fish and shrimps have come out."

Su Zhihui smiled and said, "You are right. I am a small fish and shrimp, but my grandparents are old fish and shrimp. I don't know what crime you are charged with for slandering court officials like this?"

"you……"

Li Qianru didn't expect Su Zhihui to be so good at talking. "I won't argue with you. Get out of the way."

Su Zhihui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Li, "Ahui, I can handle this."

Shen Li took a step forward and looked at Li Qianru with a cold gaze, "Tell me, even though it's been so long, if you can find out, can you still find out?"

"Isn't it enough that you have suffered the consequences of your actions? Now you want to destroy your only reputation as well. If that's the case, I can help you."

Li Qianru was a little scared, but she still said with her neck stiff, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can find out who you are?"

Shen Li clenched her fists. "I don't have any special skills, except for my boxing skills. The people you hired can't even hit me with a finger. As for you..."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she gave her a look that showed she had figured it out.

"What happened today? I think you know very well that Master Su was implicated by me. But you should not treat him as a cabbage in the field. Don't you know that people without background can appear here?"

This is why she is attending the palace banquet here tonight. If she were outside, Shen Li would have wanted to get rid of her.

He has already reaped the fruits of his own actions and his face is ruined, yet he still refuses to give up and is still looking for trouble!
