After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

He Zhixiao was stunned again.

She looked at Yan Yunshu in front of her in disbelief.

A few seconds passed before he sensed a hint of contempt in Yan Yunshu's seemingly gentle smile.

She felt unwilling to be ignored again.

She gritted her teeth and simply stopped beating around the bush, stating her purpose directly. "I know that the young lady has already told the Crown Prince the truth, and that His Highness has already believed it, but so what? Tomorrow my father is going to host a banquet for me for three days and three nights. And His Highness has just agreed to come to the banquet!"

"In that case, congratulations, General."

Yan Yunshu said this and pointed towards the teahouse not far away.

A crowd of people had already gathered there to watch the fun, and many people were looking at her with either anger or confusion.

"It's inconvenient to stand here. If the general has anything else to say, Yun Shu will invite the general to the teahouse for a good gathering."

He Zhixiao followed her gaze and looked towards the teahouse.

He looked back at Yan Yunshu's calm and composed look.

His brows were furrowed.

She didn't believe that Yan Yunshu didn't care about what she said. She must have kept it in her heart and didn't show it on her face.

These women in seclusion are all like this, secretive and not frank at all. That's why she always looks down on them.

Although she had her doubts about the suggestion of going to the teahouse, she still agreed.

She wanted to see what Yan Yunshu was up to.

How long can that disguise last?

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The two walked one after the other into a semi-open private room in the teahouse.

After Yan Yunshu sat down, she ordered the best snacks in the teahouse, and then looked at He Zhixiao with a smile on her face.

"General, if you have anything else to say, please say it all."

As he spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea for General He and pushed it in front of him.

General He forced a smile.

There was displeasure in his eyes.

"I remember reminding you at the celebration banquet that even though you're currently the apple of His Highness' eye, the bond between you and me is irreplaceable, and it can't be sown apart by your petty tricks and schemes. I'm sure you've seen that even though His Highness knew the truth, he never once criticized me and even agreed to attend the banquet tomorrow."

As General He spoke, his face, which had been covered with gloom, gradually turned sunny, and his smile was filled with a hint of pride.

I thought these words were enough to break Yan Yunshu's heart.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yunshu acted as if nothing had happened and still smiled brightly and gently.

"General He is absolutely right. Compared to General He's schemes to intercept other people's letters and steal their military achievements, my little tricks and schemes are nothing compared to them."

General He slammed the teacup in his hand.

His brows, which had just relaxed for a moment, were then tightly furrowed again.

"I hate women like you who speak in sarcastic and veiled ways. I wonder how a woman like you could possibly catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, other than a pretty face." She turned her back to the crowd, her eyes piercing with venom. "You don't realize, young lady, that pretty faces are all the same, but interesting souls are rare. Even if you're pretty, it doesn't matter. You can only charm His Royal Highness for a while. In the long run, how can you compare to the bond between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yan Yunshu laughed out loud.

"General, since you are so confident and confident about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why would you come and provoke me? Besides, is the General's soul interesting? Why do I see..." Yan Yunshu said, carefully examining He Zhixiao from head to toe, "Why do I see that General He's soul is full of hypocrisy, darkness, and filth?"

"You! How dare you say that to me!" General He was so angry that he slammed the teacup onto the table.

"Aren't you afraid that tomorrow I will criticize you in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yan Yunshu chuckled and took a sip of her tea. "I beg General He to say a few more words, even if you have to describe me as a piece of rotten mud."

"You... stop pretending. You make me feel sick."

"Oh, what a coincidence. General He has also disgusted me for a long time. After all, the letters intercepted by General He and the military merits stolen were mine..." Yan Yunshu said with a smile and put down the teacup in her hand.

He Zhixiao said angrily, "I am not as sinister and scheming as you!"

"The general did something shameful, stealing something that didn't belong to him. Now, out of rage and shame, he's able to so confidently turn the tables and blame others. This is truly remarkable..."

Yan Yunshu glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "General He is truly a role model for Tianze. No one can compare to him."

After saying that, Yan Yunshu stood up.

"General He must have nothing more to discuss. Yun Shu will return home now."

Then, she turned around and was about to leave when she heard General He curse coldly, "You evil woman with a dirty mind!"

Yan Yunshu paused, turned sideways and looked at He Zhixiao with a smile, without a trace of annoyance on her face.

Every word he spoke was like a sword, piercing He Zhixiao's heart.

"General He, instead of wasting your time showing off your power in front of me, making unreasonable provocations, and spewing foul language, you should cherish your title of general, which will not last long..."

"You!" He Zhixiao stood up suddenly, "What do you mean?!"

Yan Yunshu smiled her brightest smile. "What do you mean? It means exactly what it says."

Having said that, he left without caring what He Zhixiao said.

He Zhixiao was the only one left, his face ashen, drinking cup after cup of tea.

After a long while, he finally calmed down a little. He then stood up, turned around and smiled at everyone.

But this smile was deliberately mixed with hidden grievances and bitterness that had been suppressed for a long time.

There is also an attitude of pretending to be strong.

So, after He Zhixiao also left the teahouse.

The teahouse was in an uproar.

"Today was truly an eye-opener. I actually saw General He and Yan Yunshu, a pair of love rivals, sitting together drinking tea. And Yan Yunshu was surprisingly polite and smiling the entire time."

"Hmph, she's just a smiling tiger. Who knows what's hidden behind her smile? My mother said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more scheming she is. She often does things that hide a knife behind her smile."

"You really are. General He was clearly smiling just now, but I always felt that his smile was full of grievances."

"I advise you to stop making wild guesses and distorting the facts. They were clearly having a pleasant conversation just now, and Yan Yunshu did nothing to harm General He from beginning to end. How can you say that? I'm telling you, you better be careful. The three young masters of the Marquis' Mansion are eyeing us covetously!"
