The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Luo Xiyao looked at her empty palms and was stunned for a while.

When he realized what had just happened, his eyes widened.

She suddenly looked at Xie Nanyuan, just in time to see him gently and politely withdraw his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, unlike his usual cold face.

The strange feeling in Luo Xiyao's heart became stronger and stronger.

In the past, when she accidentally touched her cousin's clothes, he wanted to change his clothes. Why is it that now, when facing Qionghua's mother, he subconsciously reached out to help?

That’s right, Luo Xiyao saw it clearly, it was completely Xie Nanyuan’s subconscious action, but this was even more strange.

If she remembered correctly, apart from the last banquet at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, this should be the first time her cousin met Qionghua's mother, right?

But she watched coldly, wondering why her cousin's attitude and actions towards Madam Shen seemed to reveal a sense of... um... flattery... ?

She must be overthinking it, right?

With my cousin's bad temper, how can he please others?

It’s almost the same as others trying to please him!

"There is no such thing as right or wrong. I will definitely remember the help that the prince and princess have given to the Shen family."

Seeing that Xie Nanyuan was so approachable, Lin Wanru's impression of him improved a little.

Since leaving Yongning Marquis Mansion that day, Hua Jie'er has told her the cause and effect of everything.

She felt fear, anger, self-blame and gratitude for what happened that day.

She was afraid that what happened that day would happen again. She was angry at the persecution of the Shen family by Lin and the Yongning Marquisate, and blamed herself for being useless and unable to provide a good life for her children.

She had actually thought that leaving the capital and avoiding the Yongning Marquis' Mansion would save the Shen family. Now it seems that she was really short-sighted. Fortunately, Hua Jie'er had a plan in place. She had made friends with Princess Pingning early on and boarded the ship of Prince Rui, which gave the Shen family the power to resist.

She used to think that Hua Jie'er was too bold to get involved in the fight for the throne, but now she thinks it might not be a bad idea.

Hua Jie'er is right. Prince An and the Yongning Marquisate will not let the Shen family go. It is better to give it a try. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

And from her point of view, His Royal Highness Prince Rui was truly a rare talent. He was courteous to the wise and humble, and had military merits. Even a woman like her was treated with courtesy, unlike Prince An.

She didn't notice it before, but since that night at the Fahua Temple, when she saw Prince An again at the banquet, even though he was still kind and gentlemanly, Lin Wanru felt that there was a hint of arrogance in his actions.

If it were in the past, facing the prince and the princess, Lin Wanru would definitely feel panic and would just let Shen Qionghua make arrangements. But after so many things, Lin Wanru felt that she should stand up.

Even though she is of little influence and her gratitude is insignificant, as the mother of Hua Jie'er and Yi Ge'er, she should come forward and express her gratitude to them solemnly.

Seeing Lin Wanru's grateful look, Luo Xiyao became a little flustered. She was about to speak, but someone spoke first.

"Mrs. Shen, there's no need to be like this. After all, it was Miss Shen who helped Pingning and me first. We are just doing this to repay her." Xie Nanyuan said.

Luo Xiyao: “…”

"Yes, Aunt Shen, you don't have to worry about it. If Qionghua hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have married the wrong person. From now on..."

"Don't worry, Madam Shen. If Prince An and the Yongning Marquisate dare to attack the Shen family again in the future, Pingning and I will definitely not stand idly by." Xie Nanyuan spoke again before Luo Xiyao finished speaking.

Luo Xiyao: “…”

Luo Xiyao opened her mouth, but found that there seemed to be nothing to say.

Xie Nanyuan said everything that should and should not be said.

She looked at Xie Nanyuan in surprise. He had always been very frugal with words, so why was he talking so much today?

When Lin Wanru saw Xie Nanyuan and Luo Xiyao being so easy-going, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart for some reason.

Sometimes, even the closest relatives are not as good as outsiders. She and Lin have been sisters for more than 30 years, but Lin has always been calculating against her.

Prince Rui and Princess Pingning have known Qionghua for less than a year, but they are willing to help her with all their might.

"I would like to thank the prince and the princess in advance." Lin Wanru bowed again.

Luo Xiyao's mouth twitched slightly, and Xie Nanyuan had already spoken, "Mrs. Shen, please stand up."

Luo Xiyao: “…”

Now, let alone Luo Xiyao, even Shen Qionghua felt that Prince Rui was a little weird today. He seemed too enthusiastic towards A Niang, and Xiyao didn't even have a chance to speak.

Seeing that Luo Xiyao's expression was becoming more and more strange, Shen Yi in his arms became restless and kept wanting to speak.

Shen Qionghua was afraid that his outspokenness might cause misunderstandings, and she also wanted to quickly end the strange atmosphere, so she quickly said, "Mother, I have something to say to Ayi. Why don't you send the prince and princess off on my behalf?"

Lin Wanru was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked towards the gate of Shen Mansion with Xie Nanyuan and Luo Xiyao.

Only after they walked away did Shen Qionghua let go of Shen Yi's mouth.

Because he covered his mouth too tightly, a bright red slap mark was left on Shen Yi's fair face with a little baby fat, spanning both sides of his cheeks and covering his entire mouth. At first glance, it looked like he had been slapped in the face.

Shen Yi looked quite resentful, "Sister... why did you cover my mouth?"

He also wanted to ask that man to be his martial arts master.

It was the first time he knew that his seemingly weak sister could be so strong. Fortunately, she only covered his mouth. If she had covered his nose as well, he would have suffocated to death.

Shen Qionghua's mind was not on this. She said sorry twice casually. When she saw that Shen Yi had stopped pestering her, she said to him solemnly, "Ayi, that man just now was Prince Rui. You must not tell anyone about the time he sent you back after you sneaked out of the palace. Remember?"

Although there were reasons for the incident, it was Prince Rui who entered her boudoir late at night. She and Prince Rui had a clear conscience, but if it were to be spread out, other people might not think so. It is better to have less trouble than more.

"Why can't I say it?" Shen Yi was a little confused.

Isn’t it commendable that King Rui saved him?

Why do you act like a thief?

Shen Yi was still young, and Shen Qionghua didn't know how to explain this to him. If she said that Prince Rui could not enter her boudoir, then wouldn't it be even more strange that she drove him out that day and then talked to Prince Rui for a long time?

Shen Qionghua said with a stern face, "If I tell you not to say it, then don't say it. Why are there so many whys?"

Hearing this, Shen Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Find me a martial arts master, and I won't tell anyone."

Hey, this brat actually dared to threaten her!

Shen Qionghua's gaze gradually became fierce, but Shen Yi was not afraid to look into her eyes.

"If you don't agree, I will tell mother later." Shen Yi said.

After a while, Shen Qionghua sneered and said, "Go ahead and tell me. If you dare, I'll tell you that you sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night and were almost kidnapped by a beggar. I'll beat your ass to pieces!"

Shen Yi: “!”

Under Shen Yi's shocked, angry and heartbroken gaze, Shen Qionghua sneered and walked towards her own yard.

I can't deal with you, you little bastard!
