The Crown Princess standing by saw Ye Jinyu's absent-minded look and realized that she had obviously taken a liking to the young master of the Shen family.

But she heard that Shen Lebai had been engaged to Shangguan Yueyin some time ago, and the Empress Dowager had approved the marriage in public.

However, she did not intend to tell Ye Jinyu about this. She was still waiting to see the show!

In the heart of the Crown Princess, she disliked both Shen Leyan and Shangguan Yueyin. Although they had never had a direct conflict with her, they almost had a relationship with the Crown Prince.

Especially Shen Leyan. If she hadn't suddenly provoked the Crown Prince, causing him to go crazy and want to marry her, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation now...

If the Crown Princess knew that the Crown Prince had actually wanted to depose her and marry Shen Leyan in front of the Emperor and Shen's father, she would probably be even more jealous and crazy, and would be completely disappointed in the Crown Prince...

Shen Leyan and Shangguan Yueyin were a little surprised to see Shen Lebai running back in such a panic.

Shangguan Yueyin asked with concern: "What happened?"

"Could it be that Miss Ye has taken a fancy to my brother? I saw her staring at my brother affectionately, as if she didn't want to leave." Shen Leyan joked.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lebai glared at him. He nervously explained to Shangguan Yueyin, "Don't listen to her nonsense."

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and nodded, "It's okay, Sister Le Yan just likes to joke around."

How could he make such a joke? If his beloved misunderstood him, he would never be able to clear himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

"Sister Yueyin really understands me. My brother is becoming more and more stingy now!"

Shen Lebai calmed himself down a bit, "It's all your fault for coming up with this awful idea. You don't know how scared I was just now..."

Shen Lebai felt that his psychological shadow was about to come out, as if if he stayed for another second, Ye Jinyu would say that she would pledge herself to him.

Seeing her brother's expression, Shen Leyan asked jokingly, "Isn't it just a matter of asking you to help me out out of kindness? What's the problem? The main thing is that Sister Yueyin and I just had a little friction with her, so it's not convenient for us to step forward."

"This is a big problem... I feel like Miss Ye seems to have misunderstood..."

Shangguan Yueyin asked curiously, "What's the misunderstanding?"

Shen Lebai didn't know how to answer for a moment. He was afraid that saying it would make him seem narcissistic. It was really difficult to say it.

Shen Leyan looked at her brother's flushed face and immediately understood what he meant.

Could it be that she was right?

Is it true that Ye Jinyu has taken a fancy to my brother?

Or did Ye Jinyu think that her brother liked her and went to help her out?

Sometimes Shen Leyan really admires her own mouth and sixth sense.

She asked somewhat happily, "What did my brother say to her just now that caused her to have this misunderstanding?"

After all, this is the first time the two of them have met. It can’t be such a short time, right?

However, Shen Leyan felt that according to Ye Jinyu's train of thought, it was not impossible...

Shen Lebai looked at Shangguan Yueyin and immediately raised his hands to assure her, "I really didn't do anything, and I didn't even say a few words. The shopkeeper can testify for me."

"And after I paid her off, I told her to just hand over the money she owed me directly to the shopkeeper in the future."

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and nodded, "Of course I believe you, but..."

Shen Lebai asked nervously, "But what?"

"It's still your fault. Your tone of voice wasn't cold enough."

"This...Isn't this all done according to what you two wanted?"

Shen Leyan shook her head and said helplessly, "Brother, of course you can't be too gentle to a strange woman. You already have a fiancée."

"Although you have a gentle personality, remember to act a little colder in front of strange women like this in the future, otherwise misunderstandings will easily arise."

"Sister Le Yan is right!" Shangguan Yueyin said in agreement.

"Especially people with abnormal brain circuits like this need to be more careful!"

"I'll remember this and I won't let this happen again."

In fact, Shen Lebai was also a little puzzled by this matter. She had lived for twenty years, and this was the first time she had met such a passionate woman...

"Today I will take my punishment and make you a delicious meal!"

"That's perfect. Brother, remember to make my favorite sweet and sour cherry meat, scallion rabbit, and sweet and sour taro!" Shen Leyan said happily.

"I know, I know. It's always the same thing. My ears are about to get calluses from hearing it all."

"Yueyin, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm not picky about food. You can choose. I like anything you cook..." Shangguan Yueyin said shyly.

Seeing this situation, Shen Leyan kindly decided to give Shangguan Yueyin to her brother for a while in order to reward him for his hard work in preparing the meal.

He said considerately, "Why don't Sister Yueyin go with brother? I can handle it here by myself."

Shangguan Yueyin hesitated and asked, "Will Sister Le Yan be bored here alone?"

"Don't worry, Sister Yueyin, I still have Caiyue and Zhiyue to accompany me. Besides, there are so many people in the store, how can I be bored?"

"My brother might need you to accompany him more when he's alone!"

Shen Le rolled his eyes and said, "You can wait here for me to come back."

Of course Shangguan Yueyin chose to accompany him in the end. Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Shen Leyan was very happy in her heart. She only hoped that her brother and sister Yueyin could get married.

At this moment, she couldn't help but miss Emperor Yong'an...

Although the two had just met at the palace banquet yesterday, they didn't have time to say a few more words.

She touched the white jade hibiscus hairpin on her head and felt a little sad for a moment.

Emperor Yong'an, who was far away in the palace, had just finished dealing with government affairs. Today was a day off for court officials and there was no morning court, so he took this opportunity to go to the Shen Mansion to see Shen Leyan and discuss some things with Prime Minister Shen.

Shen Leyan, who was still busy in the shop at this time, had no idea that the person she was missing just now was already at her doorstep.

Emperor Yong'an had wanted to give her a surprise, so he hadn't let anyone know in advance. However, he hadn't expected that his surprise was completely in vain...

When Baoshun learned that Miss Shen was still in Tinghua Yanyu and had not returned yet, he was very smart and immediately sent someone to look for Miss Shen.

"Your Majesty, I just received news that Miss Shen hasn't returned home yet. I've already sent someone to look for her!"

At this moment, he was still secretly delighted with his clever move, thinking that he was indeed the one who understood the emperor best.

But he didn't expect that not only did he not receive the emperor's praise, but he also received a special look...
