After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"No no no..."

Chen Zijin waved her hand hastily, flustered like a startled deer, then suddenly realized that her reaction seemed a bit inappropriate and quickly changed her words.

"No, I meant it was agreed, but it wasn't... Sister Shen You, please get up!"

She stammered, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, her flustered appearance making everyone chuckle. Shen You, who had been keeping a straight face, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing at her panic.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Shen You straightened up, a mischievous smile in her eyes.

Seeing that the hostility between the two had completely disappeared, Xiao Ran felt much more at ease.

She stepped forward and asked softly, "By the way, Zijing, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zijin's face suddenly paled.

She hesitated for a moment, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the outside of the wall, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "I...I accidentally left my embroidered handkerchief outside."

"If that's the case, just pick it up. Why are you so afraid?" Shen You asked, puzzled, and lifted her foot to walk out.

"I'll go get it for you."

"Wait!" Chen Zijin hurriedly grabbed Shen You's sleeve, the force of which startled Shen You.

Her voice trembled slightly: "I originally intended to retrieve it, but when I found it, I discovered... I discovered that the Crown Prince had already picked it up..."

"Nangong Ming?!" Shen You raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with surprise. "What's he doing here for no reason?"

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something, turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran with a mischievous smile, "Could it be that you know our Ran-mei doesn't like being restrained, so you deliberately came here to bump into her?"

“Sister Shen You!” Xiao Ran glared at her helplessly, “Nangong Ming and I have no romantic feelings for each other, we are just playmates.”

"Okay, okay." Shen You shrugged, turned to look at Chen Zijing, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Then I'll go get the embroidered handkerchief for you. You don't need to be so afraid of Nangong Ming. Although he's a bit of a playboy, he's still very easy to talk to and not a bad person."

As she spoke, she turned to leave again, but unexpectedly, Chen Zijin stopped her once more.

"What is it now?" Shen You frowned slightly, her tone tinged with impatience. "Could it be that you like Nangong Ming? If so, it's not a big deal, why are you being so secretive?"

"No..." Chen Zijin bit her lip, her voice so low it was almost inaudible.

"The young master had just arrived when Minister Pei arrived right after him..."

Then, Chen Zijin told the two of them what had happened.

It turned out that after Nangong Ming found the embroidered handkerchief, Chen Zijin was about to claim it when Pei Yun suddenly appeared. Pei Yun immediately recognized that the embroidered handkerchief in Nangong Ming's hand was hers, so Pei Yun asked about the general situation.

However, Chen Zijing did not know that Nangong Ming and Pei Yun had always been at odds. One was playful and caused trouble, while the other was polite and orderly. In addition, Pei Yun was the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and had often meddled in Nangong Ming's messy affairs. Naturally, the two would be at odds when they met.

It started with verbal exchanges, then escalated to a fight over an embroidered handkerchief, and now it seems they're almost coming to blows...

"Ah!" Shen You exclaimed in surprise, "Then Sister Zijing has been watching here for a long time, hasn't she? If so, why didn't Sister Zijing go forward and stop them?"

Xiao Ran glanced at Chen Zijing, and seeing her timid appearance, explained:

"Sister Shen You, you may not know this, but Sister Zijing and Pei Shaoqing met during a case, but Pei Shaoqing didn't have a good impression of Sister Zijing, so..."

Shen You understood immediately.

Indeed, with Chen Zijin's slow and deliberate personality, if Pei Yun were investigating a case, Pei Yun would probably be furious!
