The bad ending of the book rushes to catch up with the plot, and the crazy criticism of awakening ta

Pretend, just pretend!

Shen Jiayu thought secretly in her heart that if she didn't know what kind of person Wen Xiangzhu was, she might have been deceived by Wen Xiangzhu's pitiful and injured appearance.

It’s a pity that he was just pretending.

After Wen Xiangzhu left, Princess Anyang felt less uneasy. She realized that she had made Song Qinghong angry, so she apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, Sister Song. I just want to make you happy. Why would you be unhappy if someone likes you?"

In her heart, being liked by others is a happy thing, which proves that someone loves her.

But she is still young and doesn't understand that there are other complex emotions in this world, nor does she understand that not all love in this world is real.

Song Qinghong was also worried that Wen Xiangzhu would be misled by her, so she got angry at Princess Anyang in a hurry. Now that Wen Xiangzhu is gone, her mood has improved a lot.

"It's a happy thing to be liked by others, but it doesn't mean everyone's liking is a happy thing. I am happy that Mr. Ye likes me, but I don't like him. It will only delay him, so I can't hurt him. It's better to reject things that are destined to have no results now."

After saying that, Song Qinghong turned to look at Princess Anyang who only half understood what was going on, and continued, "Princess, you are still young. You will understand these things when you grow up. It's getting late. I will take you back."

Song Qinghong took her hand and left the teahouse.

Nothing else happened along the way, and most people didn't dare to cause trouble, so they just followed.

They returned home safely.

Shen Jiayu has been in a bad mood.

After being rejected, Wen Xiangzhu's upward attitude was just pretend, and he must have other plans in mind.

Maybe someone will bring a letter soon.

News spread quickly in Kyoto, and the incident in the teahouse eventually got out.

Inside the Third Prince’s Palace.

When Qi Rui got the news, he sneered and said disdainfully: "It seems that my new Mr. Ye is quite ambitious. He actually wants to be with Song Qinghong without considering his own weight."

"Go and call him over to me. I have something to ask you." Qi Rui raised his chin and looked at the servant standing in the corner.

The servant understood, turned around and left, bringing Wen Xiangzhu over.

Wen Xiangzhu stood straight and looked at Qi Rui who was lying lazily on the recliner.

"I wonder what your Highness wants me to do?"

Qi Rui turned around, supported his head with his hands, found a comfortable position and half-lyed down, his dark eyes full of sarcasm.

"Today in a teahouse, you expressed your feelings to Song Qinghong but were rejected. Why didn't you tell me that you liked her? She is my cousin. If you like her, I will ask my father to issue an edict to grant you marriage. How about that?"

After hearing this, a hint of surprise quickly flashed in Wen Xiangzhu's eyes, but then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But Qi Rui stared at him closely, not missing any expression on his face, so he naturally noticed this small change.

The smile on his face deepened, and he chuckled and said, "Look at you, you can't stand it. After you surrendered to me, you have never had such a wonderful expression on your face. It seems that you really like Song Qinghong?"

Wen Xiangzhu lowered his head slightly, his voice trembling, and said slowly: "Your Highness, I... I do like Miss Song, but Miss Song doesn't like me. Please don't bother your Highness with this matter."

"Don't bother? Ye Hanshan, are you qualified to say this to me?" Qi Rui's face was gloomy, and he looked at him nonchalantly with slightly narrowed eyes.

As if feeling the pressure from Qi Rui, Wen Xiangzhu broke out in sweat on his forehead and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"I made a mistake, please don't blame me, Your Highness."

Seeing Wen Xiangzhu's cautious look, Qi Rui's gloomy expression eased a little, and he stood up and walked towards Wen Xiangzhu with a false smile.

"Stand up, I was just joking with you, why are you kneeling down?"

Wen Xiangzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, still didn't stand up. He knew that Qi Rui was testing him. If he really stood up, it would only make Qi Rui unhappy.

"I offended His Highness with my words just now, and I should apologize." After saying that, Wen Xiangzhu looked up at Qi Rui who was already standing beside him and said word by word, "This is in line with my status."

Qi Rui raised his brows slightly and his expression relaxed, obviously he was very satisfied with his answer.

He stretched out his right hand and waved, "It's good that you know your identity. Get up."

Wen Xiangzhu stood up, and the fear and uneasiness on his face slowly disappeared.

"Speaking of which, if you can really be with Song Qinghong, it will be beneficial to me. The Prime Minister's family is all stubborn, especially Song Yuanbai, my good cousin. He never understands what I mean and always goes against me. He loves Song Qinghong the most. If you and Song Qinghong are together, it will be quite interesting."

Qi Rui paced back and forth in the room while speaking.

If this matter could really come to pass, Song Qinghong, whom Song Yuanbai valued more than his life, would marry a villain who only knew how to curry favor with the powerful. I'm sure the expression on his face would be very interesting.

Qi Rui raised the corner of his mouth and gave a wicked smile.

Wen Xiangzhu looked at him calmly from behind, and when he saw Qi Rui turning around, he immediately lowered his eyes and concealed the expression in his eyes.

"I will take care of your matter. Young Master Ye, just wait for the news. You may leave." Qi Rui turned around, glanced at Wen Xiangzhu, and sent him away.

Regardless of Wen Xiangzhu's wishes, even if Wen Xiangzhu is unwilling, as long as he wants to do it, Wen Xiangzhu must accept it.

If Wen Xiangzhu does not accept it, just kill him or find another aide.

It's just a little difficult to find someone who is good-looking and can convince my mother.

Wen Xiangzhu bowed and walked out with a gentle smile on his face. After leaving the Third Prince's Mansion, the fake smile on his face disappeared.

It became.

Instead, there was a smile that showed everything was under control.

Wen Xiangzhu returned to his yard, and all the people he brought with him went out to work. In name, he fired them in order to make a living, so they went out to find work to support themselves. In fact, they were still Wen Xiangzhu's people.

There were only three people left in the yard: Zhao Ji, Ling Feng and Li Xiner, a guard, a servant and a maid.

Zhao Ji stepped forward and reported the intelligence he had obtained in recent days.

"Sir, the Fifth Prince has begun to act. Should we start the next step?"

Wen Xiangzhu: "Please hold on. I have something else to do. Let Qi Binwei handle his business. I will meet him again after this matter is completed. Is that matter settled?"

Zhao Ji: "I have a clue, but I still need some time to confirm it. Please give me some time, sir."

Wen Xiangzhu nodded and walked into the house.
