Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

The maid called over and brought paper and pen. Yong Hua handed it to Shen Li reverently, "Sister Li, I'm afraid I can't remember it correctly. Could you please write it down as you talk?"

After saying that, he attentively dragged out a bamboo stool next to the bamboo table. Yong Xiang hurriedly took a cushion and put it on the stool, fearing that Shen Li would feel uncomfortable sitting on it.

Shen Li was embarrassed.

With my beautiful handwriting, as soon as I write, the lofty image I have created today will collapse in an instant.

Calligraphy, oh, can you please not test her like this!

Fang Mingwan suppressed her laughter, took the paper and pen, and said to the two sisters, "Let me do it. Let the girl be the patient, and cousin will demonstrate and I will take notes."

At Shen Li's signal, the girl lay on the bamboo couch. Shen Li first showed them the actions of rescuing Old Madam Yan that day, teaching them how to perform artificial respiration and chest compressions.

Apart from the sound of the breeze blowing through the window, the only sound in the room was Shen Li's soft voice teaching the girls.

On the tree outside the house.

Xiao Chenze and Xu Yang lay among the dense leaves, listening to what Shen Li said in the house.

After listening for a while, Xu Yang was a little puzzled and said, "Master, doesn't everyone say that Miss Shen is stupid? Why do I feel that she is not like what others say?"

Xiao Chenze didn't say anything.

Ever since he confirmed that Shen Li was the one who saved him, he automatically ignored the embarrassment and anger he felt when she stripped him naked and fiddled with his little brother, and instead smiled knowingly from time to time.

When his subordinates saw him, they all thought he was a little strange recently.

Xiao Chenze never participates in occasions like today.

But when she heard that the Marquis of Guanyong's mansion was holding a banquet for Miss Shen, hoping to help her make friends with the daughters of powerful people in the capital, and also wanted her to meet the grandson of the Yan family.

He felt uncomfortable.

For some unknown reason, he came.

After walking around and feeling bored, someone over there was planning something shameful, and Xu Yang happened to hear it.

The two of them lay on the tree and waited to watch the fun.

After Shen Li finished speaking, her mouth was dry, but she did not forget to remind him, "This knowledge is only auxiliary. Sometimes, even if you save people within the specified time, you may not be able to save them. Life is impermanent, so think positively. Treat people with care while they are alive, and that is the best you can do."

After hearing these words, not only did the Yan sisters' eyes sparkle with stars, but even Fang Mingwan felt that her cousin had improved since she first met her.

In the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion.

After Shen Li and the others left, the ladies chatted and laughed. Old Madam Yan picked up her teacup and glanced at Lan through the steamy air. She asked casually, "I heard that the young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion regretted breaking off the engagement with Miss Shen?"

Everyone's ears pricked up instantly.

Lan chuckled twice, not knowing how to respond.

That’s true, but it’s a bit of an embarrassment to the Yuan family.

If I say no, I'll feel sorry for my niece.

For today's banquet, the Marquis of Guanyong's Mansion was worried that Shen Li would feel uncomfortable, so they did not send an invitation to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

The Lan family didn't want to talk about others behind their backs when they weren't around.

The one who asked this question happened to be Old Madam Yan, the daughter of the Qian family, one of the most prominent families in the court. Knowing that she was disdainful, no one would think that she was making up stories when she talked about people.

Seeing that Lan just smiled and didn't answer, Old Lady Yan didn't care at all. She was just starting the question, and the answer was in her heart. Her purpose was not this.

So he continued, "The Yuan family kid is unlucky. I've heard Madam Yuan say that. In my opinion, the fact that the Yuan family can regret their decision proves they're not hopelessly foolish. But I've also heard Madam Yuan say that General Fang flatly refused the offer and even scolded Yuan Mengxing. Hahaha, that rascal has been a rude talker since he was little. Now at his age, he still curses people. Tomorrow, when I see him, I'm going to give him a good beating."

"Oh, old ancestor, only you dare to say that," Lan said quickly, "If you can help me beat him up, I will be grateful and willing to come and massage your legs for a few days."

"You're just sweet-talking," the old lady smiled and glared at her, then said to the other ladies, "Madam Yuan said that the engagement was broken off due to some misunderstandings, and now she regrets it terribly. She also came to me and asked me to help her. She's still thinking of snatching Miss Shen away to her family. I told her not to think about it at the time. This child is very popular, and there are so many people who like her. I don't care about others, but our Yan family is going to compete with the previous ones. When the time comes, each of us will rely on our own abilities to see who will win."

When the ladies heard this, they immediately understood.

It turns out that the Marquis of Guanyong has taken a fancy to Miss Shen and wants to leave her to his grandson.

Those who had thought about it began to consider whether their children could compare with the Yan brothers and whether the Yan children could catch the eyes of Miss Shen.

While he was thinking about it, other girls from the Shen family came in to pay their respects.

The old lady smiled when she saw them, and said in a very kind tone, "Why are you sisters walking behind? Why didn't you come in with your eldest sister?"

Shen Yan and Shen Lin smiled and lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer.

After entering the Marquis' Mansion, the two of them didn't dare to run around, so they had to wait in the front hall until Shen Yao arrived, and then they came together.

Shen Yao was waiting for Wen Wanying. The four girls came in and saluted at the same time, which was a pleasure to watch.

"That girl looks unfamiliar. Could she be from the Wen family, the Jiangnan weaving factory?" someone asked curiously.

Wen Wanying hurriedly stepped forward and saluted politely, bowing and saying, "Yes, I am Wen Wanying, and I greet all the ladies. I hope you are all well."

"Oh, this child is really good-looking and well-mannered. Did you come to Beijing alone? Where is your mother?"

Another lady said, "When we were at home, your mother and I were good friends. Ever since she married into the Wen family, I haven't seen her for many years. I miss her so much."

Wen Wanying replied obediently, "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. My mother couldn't leave home, so I came to Beijing on my own. My mother often said that she had some good friends in Beijing and she missed them very much."

"Look at this child, he speaks so sweetly and is so well behaved. How old is he this year?"

"My daughter is sixteen this year."

"Oh, have you told me about your in-laws?" A lady with a pointed chin looked at her and asked casually.

Wen Wanying's face turned a little red, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

The lady who claimed to be on good terms with Madam Wen was displeased. She glanced at the pointed, thin chin and said angrily, "How can you ask a girl this question in person? It's only because Madam Wen isn't here. If she were here, she would have given you a few glances in vain."

Liu hurried out to smooth things over. "I'll have the maid take the girls to the back garden to find your elder sister. They're playing there. You can go over and chat first. I'll call you back once we've arranged seats. We've prepared a lot of fun things for you today, including a raffle. Girls, be prepared and try to win the first prize."

Upon hearing this, several people happily followed the maid into the garden.
