From the beginning to the end, he showed obvious displeasure towards Shen Muxue. What is puzzling is how Shen Muxue could have mistakenly believed that he was interested in her.

Is it just because the maids agreed with her?

Just like just now, an old maid praised: "The prince treats the second young lady very well. He never forgets to bring gifts every time he visits."

"That's right, this unique pampering makes people so envious."

……

Once you wake up, you can see the true nature of everything.

Shen Muxue picked up the little thing. Is this what they call caring?

"Since you are so greedy, I will give it to you as a reward."

Just as Shen Muxue handed it to the old lady who had just claimed to be jealous, everyone realized that the atmosphere was wrong.

Not only did Shen Muxue not show any shyness or joy, she also did not run over and say, "My cousin is so nice to me."

Perhaps everyone in Nong Yu Tang has recently become accustomed to the awkward situations brought about by Shen Muxue, so they can only laugh it off and pretend nothing happened.

The old lady came out to smooth things over: "Your cousin has grown up, and these children's toys have long since lost interest in her. Well, if you want to talk in private, go ahead. I'm not unreasonable."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around burst into laughter. After all, the two were going to get married soon, so there was nothing to be shy about.

Wei Zixian felt humiliated and really didn't want to condescend to please Shen Muxue.

But he didn't move, and Shen Muxue didn't move either. They didn't look like they were going to run after him as usual.

Finally, at the urging of the old lady, the two walked into a pavilion.

Wei Zixuan's tone was a little stiff. "You are about to become a member of my Wei family. I understand that you have neither outstanding talents nor a good reputation, but you must at least know how to respect your elders and get along well with your sisters-in-law. Otherwise, even if you step into the threshold of the Wei family, you may not be able to last long."

Are you already standing up for your family before you even get married?

And he criticized Shen Muxue to nothing.

Shen Muxue disdained to argue with such an ignorant person and smiled contemptuously: "Prince Wei is right. I am indeed not a good choice for your wife. I hope you can find another virtuous woman to marry you."

After he finished speaking, he left, leaving Wei Zixian alone in the cold wind, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Shen Muxue actually dared to be so shameless, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wei Zixian. He was so ashamed that he dared not say anything.

The outside world all thought that Shen Muxue was deceived by the young master of the Wei family again, but the two families continued to maintain their beautiful vision.

Although Shen Muxue expressed her dissatisfaction, their engagement still existed and could only be truly terminated by completely abolishing the marriage certificate.

There are only three months left. I wonder if I can have a chance to win the emperor's favor during this period.

"System, has His Majesty been so deeply poisoned that he has no emotions left in his heart and no reaction to this?"

[Host, His Majesty actually observed you the entire night before, but you were simply asleep.]

Is there such a thing?

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"

[Hehe, I accidentally forgot to mention that if he comes again tonight, I will notify you immediately.]

That night was the fourth time he spent time with the Emperor. Before the guards reported, His Majesty could not wait to visit the Shen family.

"Is it gone?"

"Weiye."

This conversation sounded like they were looking forward to Shen Muxue's end.

The emperor made up his mind, moved a chair to the head of Shen Muxue's bed and sat down, staring at her intently, wanting to use his fingertips to detect whether she was still breathing, but he was afraid that inadvertently touching her would accelerate her disappearance.

[Host, please wake up quickly. His Majesty is right here.]

"Understand, let me show you how to scare him."

His Majesty sat right next to Shen Muxue's head.

While pretending to turn over, Shen Muxue's hand accidentally rested on the other person's body, and she took one of the hands as a pillow and fell asleep peacefully.

The guards hiding in the dark were terrified, fearing that the woman in front of them might die suddenly at any time, with blood all over her face.

Although his arm was numb, the emperor remained motionless, waiting for the result curiously.

It was not until dawn that His Majesty returned to the palace dragging his unconscious arm.

……

The next morning, the wife of Marquis Jingcheng and her two children visited the Shen Mansion.

Everyone was chatting happily in the Nong Yu Hall, and the topic revolved around what they saw and heard at the Queen's banquet yesterday.

Obviously, all eyes were once again focused on Wei Lanqian, from how she displayed her talents to winning the Queen's praise and even the favor of Prince Yongning.

According to the scenario described by Mrs. Hou, Wei Lanqian is almost firmly sitting on the throne of queen.

Witnessing this scene, a hint of jealousy flashed in Shen Lingwei's eyes but she quickly concealed it.

He snorted in his heart, it turned out that not all members of the Shen family were united.

After about half an hour, the praise for Miss Wei came to an end, and the next step was to look for a new target for comparison.

Considering that I don't want to stay here and suffer any more,

"Grandma, I feel a little unwell and want to go back to my room to rest."

The wife of Marquis Jingcheng was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that he was going to leave so soon.

I came here today specifically to please the God of Wealth, why are you leaving before I even get started?

"Is there something urgent right now? Your aunt and cousin are here, how can you leave alone? Why don't you rest for a while in my small hall?"

"Row."

Shen Muxue agreed obediently. The last thing she wanted was to chat with this group of people.

So she closed her eyes and rested in the small hall. She could still faintly hear their laughter in the distance, but the voices gradually became quieter.

Maybe everyone had left, which suited her just fine.

It was really boring to continue lying there. When I was about to get up and go back, I was suddenly startled by a hand about to touch my cheek: "Hey! What do you want to do?"

Shen Muxue opened her eyes and couldn't help screaming when she saw this scene.

This also shocked Wei Zixian.

Thinking that he had no ability to coax this petite girl, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to use extraordinary measures.

Once Shen Muxue loses her innocence, she will naturally obey him.

But before his hand touched the target, she was awakened, and the situation became very awkward.

Everyone quickly gathered around after hearing the shouting.

"what's going on?"

The old lady asked worriedly.

Facing everyone's concerned looks, Wei Zixian explained awkwardly, "A spider crawled onto my cousin's face, and I wanted to remove it for her."

Voices of praise rang out from all around, "You are truly worthy of being the Crown Prince. You cherish the Second Young Miss so much."

Listening to these words of praise, Shen Muxue felt extremely disgusted.

Since things did not happen as he wished, he was too lazy to say anything more and just turned around and left with a sullen face.

Before returning to his residence, Shen Yunxiang followed him.

"Second sister, there is something I need to report to you."

The two then sat in the room and talked. Shen Yunxiang kept drinking tea and seemed unable to speak.

Finally, after a long silence, she mustered up the courage to speak: "Sister, my cousin is so kind to you, why has he been so distant these days? Girls should be gentle and considerate. If this continues, I'm afraid he will be disliked."
