These two people may have hooked up a long time ago.
Shen Lansui understood instantly. When he looked at Mrs. Xu again, his expression became even lighter.
It's strange that Mrs. Xu is happy that her good daughter is rushing to be a concubine for someone else. Even if the other person is the prince, she is just a more expensive concubine.
Seeing Shen Hanfang's face flushed and her expression full of spring, Shen Lansui nodded with a smile, "The prince is so talented that he deserves to be celebrated, but -"
She changed the subject and said sternly: "We haven't even met yet. It's not appropriate to make this matter public, let alone to celebrate it. If word gets out, it will inevitably make people think that the girls in our uncle's house are frivolous. It doesn't matter that we have already promised others, eldest brother and Chufan Not married yet.”
Shen Hanfang's expression changed, and she said dissatisfiedly: "There are no outsiders here, who will spread the news? Besides, it's not a shameful thing, is there anything frivolous about it? Or are you afraid that I will outshine you?"
She looked at Shen Lansui provocatively, "I will be a fifth-grade talented person in the future. His Highness said that if I can give birth to a son and a half daughters, he can also be promoted to -"
A muffled sound of "dong" interrupted Shen Hanfang's complacent thoughts.
Everyone's hearts trembled and they all followed the sound.
Lu Xingyue was seen holding the wine cup slowly, his eyes were deep and indifferent and he said: "I advise the fourth lady to be careful with her words."
Not everyone can appreciate Lu Xingyue's green eyes as calmly as Shen Lansui.
Most people were still very wary of his eyes. In addition, Lu Xingyue was cold and distant, which made people dare not look directly at him. Shen Hanfang trembled and looked away after taking one look. If she normally would have shut up now. , but I don’t know if he felt that his status was different now that he had become the prince, so he even said something negative to Lu Xingyue.
"What did I say wrong? Why are you two so careful? We are sisters, and I will become famous in the future. Will it be shameful for you to go out? Why are you so aggressive? You don't want to look down on me, right?"
This means that her aunt is not here. If she were here, she would probably faint from anger.
"Shut up! How are you talking? Is this how I usually teach you?" Mrs. Xu immediately put down her chopsticks with a serious expression.
However, Shen Hanfang no longer took her seriously.
Seeing this, Shen Xiyun pulled off her sleeve, "Fourth sister, it's a family dinner today, what are you doing? Stop making trouble."
Shen Hanfang glanced at her, still unconvinced, but at least she was the one holding the line between herself and the prince, so she barely gave her some face and didn't really stand up.
Shen Sanqing held the wine glass awkwardly, looking at this and that, not knowing what to say for a while.
Why did you start pinching all of a sudden?
Shen Lansui's expression did not change, and she raised her eyes and glanced at her, "If there is light on the face, you have to see what kind of light it is. I have four married daughters in the Shen family. Regardless of their status, they will never be concubines for others. They have not fallen. The family's face, what about you? Keep your mouth shut. The prince is a talented man. I'll give you some face, as well as my wife and father's face. Considering that today is my aunt's birthday, I don't want to say anything too unpleasant. I'll give you a few words of tact, but you don't know. For better or worse.”
She tilted her head slightly, with sharp eyes and sharp words, which made Shen Hanfang's face turn red and white.
"If you become a concubine, will we have glory? What glory? The Crown Princess is not doing well yet, but you are going crazy first, and you are still thinking about having a son and a half in the future. Even if we have one, so what? What do you still hope? What does that child do? Not to mention that there are endless variables if you haven't passed the exam. Even if you have passed the exam now and you dare to speak arrogantly, not to mention that the Crown Princess cannot tolerate you, how can the Empress allow you to ruin the reputation of the East Palace? "
Everyone else at the table changed their expressions. Shen Hanfang pursed her lips and opened her mouth to refute. Shen Lansui didn't give her a chance to speak and asked: "When something happens to you, our Shen family will be implicated. No one in the world will say anything." Madam and father are not good at raising their daughters, and they say that we Shen family girls are frivolous and rebellious, how can we end up well in the future?"
"Stop being alarmist!" Shen Hanfang's face turned pale, and she was obviously frightened. "I just said it casually, how come it got to the point where I was convicted?"
Shen Lan smiled and was too lazy to talk nonsense to her.
Shen Sanqing also came out to smooth things over, "Hanfang, please stop saying a few words, your temper needs to be tempered."
As he said that, he looked at Shen Lansui again and said with a smile: "You are the same, Lansui. As a family, if there is anything we can't talk about, why should we scare her?"
"I don't think Madam is being alarmist." Lu Xingyue glanced at Shen Sanqing and said solemnly: "The situation in the DPRK is constantly changing. If you are not careful, your body will be wiped out. As the Crown Prince, His Highness is walking on thin ice. The Fourth Miss If you are outspoken and unable to hide things, you will be exploited by others sooner or later."
He picked up the wine cup and took a sip. His expression was calm, but it made people shudder.
"Yang is not short of noble girls, let alone an uncle's house. We haven't passed the door yet, so it's better to be cautious and don't end up in a dream."
Shen Sanqing's heart trembled, thinking that this was also the case, but he was not sure how much weight Shen Hanfang had in the prince's heart.
While he was hesitating, Mrs. Xu slapped the table and said: "Come here - please go back to the room to rest, Miss Four. She is not allowed to step out of the room again before getting married. Let Aunt Chu teach her the rules."
Shen Hanfang's eyes widened in disbelief, "You can't do this to me, I uh-huh--"
The maid and nanny waiting outside the hall came in, covered their mouths and grabbed hands, and pulled the person out.
The flower hall suddenly became quiet.
Others didn't dare to breathe.
Aunt Ru glanced at Lu Xingyue fearfully, but also felt a little happy.
My uncle is still capable.
Mrs. Xu stood up with the wine, raised her glass to Lu Xingyue and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the tip. I would like to toast to you. I wish you good health and happy love with Lan Sui."
Lu Xingyue was very considerate to her and stood up to touch her in the air.
Shen Lansui also stood up and clinked glasses with Mrs. Xu, "Thank you, madam."
Looking at each other, Mrs. Xu smiled happily.
With her as the starting point, Shen Xiuzhi also raised a glass to Lu Xingyue. For a while, the table changed glasses and became lively again. It was as if the conflict just now had never occurred.
Shen Sanqing was heartless and soon forgot about Shen Hanfang, dragging Lu Xingyue to chatter all the time.
Fortunately, there was Shen Xiuzhi in the middle to adjust, otherwise Shen Chufan looked at Lu Xingyue's face and doubted that he would directly slam a wine cup on his father's head.
Shen Xiyun saw everything, smiled to himself, picked up the cup and drank one cup after another.
Aunt Ru became more beautiful again, her face was rosy, she was very happy, and she kept picking up food for Shen Lansui.
After finally finishing the meal, Shen Lansui's ears were just clear for a while when Aunt Ru quietly came over and said, "Let's go sit at Mom's place."
Shen Lansui felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground, and thought to herself: It's finally here. (End of chapter)
