Cang Chenru raised his eyebrows when he heard Shen Huimo's words. He had investigated Shen Luoxi's family and naturally understood the relationship between Shen Luoxi and them.
But now judging from Shen Huimo's words, the reason why he hates Shen Luoxi actually has a hidden reason?
Shen Luoxi smiled at Cang Chenru and said, "Please, sir, please wait a moment."
Cang Chenru nodded, and then Shen Huimo's voice came again.
"I really can't understand how her life was so fatal! She was unharmed even after being poisoned by such a powerful poison!"
"Now that she has become so powerful, she is about to squeeze me out! I'm just not as good as my eldest brother, so why should I be inferior to her!"
The young master next to Shen Huimo joked loudly, "Second Young Master Shen, are you worried?"
"But why are you anxious? She is just relying on her beauty to win the pity of His Highness King Xuan. It won't make a difference. But you are different. As long as you can do something, let alone surpass her, that's it. It’s possible to surpass Mr. Shen!”
After hearing what his friend said, Shen Huimo's depressed heart began to feel proud again.
He said proudly: "That's right, she is a woman after all. No matter how powerful she is, she can't make any achievements! I'm different. I'm a man, and I'm better than her in everything!"
"Come on, come on, drink!"
Everyone toasted and drank, it was so lively.
After putting down the wine glass, one of the young masters said: "I heard that you got the poison when you went to Hualou for the first time. Mrs. Shen was so anxious. Fortunately, there was an imperial doctor who knew how to induce the poison. Otherwise, your life would have been lost." I can’t keep it!”
Shen Huimo frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I was young and ignorant back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been tricked by that flower girl."
"The flower lady is also wildly fanciful. She thinks she can force me to marry her by poisoning her. The prime minister's house is not just for anyone to enter!"
Speaking of this, he was still a little proud, feeling that he had avoided a crisis.
But when he saw Shen Luoxi standing not far away looking at him with a half-smile, he screamed in fright and fell to the ground.
"How will you be here!"
Shen Luoxi looked around at everyone, and several young masters were so frightened by her that they shivered.
"I just heard that my second brother was chatting happily with you. If you don't mind, I also want to hear... what happened back then."
Her eyes finally fell on Shen Huimo. Shen Huimo got up from the ground pretending to be calm, and his voice was a little trembling when he spoke.
"I'm drinking and chatting with others, what's the matter with you?" He said bravely: "Get out of here, don't disturb us here!"
Shen Luoxi smiled and looked at the others, "Have I disturbed you all?"
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, then each found an excuse and got up and left.
Shen Huimo looked at everyone's backs and was stunned. No one left after saying a few words for him!
People who usually call each other brothers when they meet turn out to be fair-weather friends!
He looked at Shen Luoxi with a gloomy face. No matter what he thought, he felt that it was Shen Luoxi's fault!
"What on earth do you want to do!" Shen Huimo said angrily: "You have already embarrassed me a lot, isn't that enough!"
"Don't think that you can ride on top of me now that your father and eldest brother are all facing you! You..."
Before he could finish speaking, a slap hit him hard on the face.
Shen Luoxi put away his hand and looked at him coldly, "Have you calmed down now? If not, I can help you again."
Shen Huimo looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief, "How dare you hit me! I'm your second brother!"
"So?" Shen Luoxi looked at him indifferently, "You are just making jokes outside, and you are still talking nonsense. Could it be that you want to hurt the whole family this time?"
"You are the one who has caused the whole family to suffer! If it weren't for you, why would there be so many pairs of eyes staring at us!" Shen Huimo said loudly.
Seeing him like this, Cang Chenru was not sure what he would do, so he calmly called the waiter and asked him to clear the restaurant quickly.
The waiter also saw that something was not right about the situation in front of him. If something happened, the reputation of the restaurant would be ruined!
"It was the second brother's fault that my father was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The second brother was only detained for a few days and now he has forgotten about it?" Shen Luoxi asked in return.
Shen Huimo's face was ugly, and Shen Luoxi's words touched his sore spot.
"Ever since you wanted to marry His Highness Prince Xuan, you have paid less and less attention to us family members! Today I will teach you a lesson for my father and eldest brother!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his palm-like hand to hit Shen Luoxi's face, but he didn't even touch the corner of Shen Luoxi's clothes, so Xiao Yueze took the lead and tapped his acupuncture points.
Xiao Yueze turned to look at Shen Luoxi, "How should the princess deal with it?"
After Shen Huimo couldn't move, he looked at Shen Luoxi in horror, but Shen Luoxi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "This is a household matter after all, so naturally you have to go home to deal with it."
"By the way, ask my father and mother what happened back then."
Xiao Yueze nodded and walked out with Shen Huimo in one hand. Cang Chenru's eyes flashed and he looked at Shen Luoxi meaningfully, "It seems that the princess has something to deal with, so let's make an appointment next time." .”
Shen Luoxi didn't comment, turned around and walked out of the restaurant with Xiao Yueze one after another.
Cang Chenru watched her walk away, and after giving instructions to the waiter a few times, he walked out of the restaurant and left in the direction of Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Soon, Shen Luoxi arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage.
The porter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was stunned when he saw Xiao Yueze carrying Shen Huimo out of the carriage. He hurriedly greeted him, "Miss, what's wrong with the second young master?"
Shen Luoxi did not answer, but said coldly: "Go in and tell your father and mother that I have something to tell them."
The concierge was even more confused, but when he met her cold gaze, he hurriedly ran into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Xiang Shen and Mrs. Shen were waiting for Shen Luoxi in the yard, they looked up and were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Luoxi, what's going on? Your second brother..."
Before Mrs. Shen could finish asking, Shen Luoxi got straight to the point and said, "When I ran into my second brother outside, I overheard him mentioning my poisoning."
"I was afraid that my family would be scandalized, so I brought my second brother back to ask my father and mother what happened when I was poisoned."
Prime Minister Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at each other and their expressions changed. They did not meet Shen Luoxi's eyes and just said lightly: "What's wrong with Hui Mo?"
Shen Luoxi saw that they wanted to change the topic and said bluntly: "I already know that the person who was poisoned was the second brother. Do you want father and mother to hide it?"
Prime Minister Shen frowned slightly, then sighed, "I know what to do. Now you can let Huimo return to normal. Let's sit down and talk about this matter as a family."
"But it's been so many years since this happened, and you're fine now, so why bother holding on to it?"
