"Oh...eh? No, didn't you promise Li Chun that you wouldn't bring this matter up again?"
Jiang Fengmian suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Jue with a strange expression.
"When did I say this?" Xiao Jue held his chin in his left hand and played with the tea cup in his right hand, and said with a half-smile:
"Besides, even if I have said that I will not mention this matter in front of Li Chun again, it does not mean that I will not mention it to His Majesty..."
"Besides, even if I don't say it, won't anyone else tell His Majesty?"
Xiao Jue lazily sat in his chair and spoke slowly.
Tonight he was dressed in black, and with his usual lazy demeanor, he looked like a lazy big cat.
"..."
Seeing Xiao Jue's confident look, Jiang Fengmian was speechless for a long time, and finally squeezed out only two words:
"Shameless."
"Thank you." Xiao Jue replied lightly.
Jiang Fengmian suddenly felt tired.
I know that Xiao Jue has never been a gentleman, but now it seems that this guy is obviously very evil.
Knowing that His Majesty will still find out about tonight's events in the end, why did you ask someone to go to Zuo Xiang's Mansion just now?
It was obviously you who intentionally or unintentionally misled Li Chun, making him think that you would seriously turn this matter over so that he could rest assured.
As a result, you turned around and planned to sell him directly. Are you sincere?
"Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue, you can fall out faster than turning the page in a book. I think you have planned it early in the morning."
After finally sorting out tonight's affairs, even Jiang Fengmian had to admire them. They knew immediately that the person holding Shen Qiaochen hostage was someone from Zuo Xiangfu.
But Xiao Jue didn't seem to hear it. He only looked for Shen Qiaochen all night, and when he found it, he never mentioned it again.
Jiang Fengmian has known him for so many years. According to his understanding of Xiao Jue, he is obviously obsessed with Miss Shen Si.
According to Xiao Jue's usual temperament, not to mention the old man Li Chun, even his grandson, the third prince of the current dynasty, Xiao Jue would not give him any face.
Knowing who ordered this, I should have come to the door with a whip long ago.
Jiang Fengmian couldn't figure this out at first, until the Shen brothers and sisters walked side by side.
When Jiang Fengmian's eyes fell on Shen Qiaoran beside Shen Qiaochen, he finally understood.
He glanced at Xiao Jue, and the amusement in his peach blossom eyes was very obvious.
Nan Zhu noticed it and asked him casually what was wrong.
Jiang Fengmian relayed the question, and when he saw that Nan Zhu didn't understand it at all, he couldn't help but feel even more proud.
The folding fan in his hand turned in a circle, which whetted the appetite of Nan Zhu and others, and then he spoke unhurriedly:
"In the final analysis, some people have dishonest names and dishonest words~~"
…
"noisy"
Xiao Jue said lightly as he couldn't understand Jiang Fengmian's virtue.
The corners of Jiang Fengmian's raised mouth froze for a moment, then returned to normal the next second.
He rolled his eyes rudely at his friend, turned his head and saw someone approaching, and in the blink of an eye he had another extremely proud smile.
…
When brother and sister Shen Qiao and Shen came over, they saw such a scene.
Among the people at the table, Xiao Jue and Jiang Fengmian were sitting in chairs. The former was still as lazy as ever, with his head lowered and not knowing what he was thinking.
The latter, however, looked in Shen Qiaochen's direction with an unpredictable smile.
Nan Zhu on the other side was leaning on the partition behind him, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Seeing everyone's different expressions, Shen Qiao's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.
Thinking that time was almost up, she hesitated for a long time, and then spoke to Xiao Jue, who seemed the most normal at this time:
"It's getting late, it's time for my third brother and I to say goodbye."
As he said that, Shen Qiaochen's expression changed, he walked up to Xiao Jue, bowed solemnly, and then said:
"What happened tonight is thanks to Prince Xiao's timely help. I am very grateful."
Speaking of this, Shen Qiaochen paused.
At this time, Xiao Jue happened to raise his head, because Shen Qiaochen happened to be standing in front of him, so most of Xiao Jue's face was hidden in the shadows.
Although Shen Qiaochen's stature is not as tall as Xiao Jue's shoulders, when the two of them are standing and sitting, Shen Qiaochen is slightly taller than Xiao Jue who is sitting.
This was the first time she looked at him from a downward angle.
The two looked at each other, both looking a little stunned.
When he came back to his senses, maybe Xiao Jue was not used to looking up at others, so he raised his brows and sat up straighter.
Seeing this, Shen Qiaochen immediately took a step back. Seeing that the distance between her and him was slightly widened, she stopped, lowered her eyes and continued:
"Prince Xiao's life-saving grace will be unforgettable by me. If..."
As soon as she said this, she heard a laugh coming from the side, and then a clear male voice said:
"Aiya~~Speaking of life-saving grace, our Huaijin has saved the fourth girl several times before. Counting today, it should be three times."
When Shen Qiao heard the sound, she looked over and saw Jiang Fengmian holding a folding fan in a chair nearby and looking at her with a smile.
"As the saying goes, 'If you can't repay a life-saving favor, you should just...' Eh? What should the last sentence be?"
Jiang Fengmian had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of teasing. He pointed the folding fan in Nanzhu's direction, winked and signaled.
After receiving the other party's signal, Nan Zhu almost blurted out.
But then he noticed a look that made the hair stand on end. Nan Zhu was a martial arts practitioner, and his alertness was innate.
So he subconsciously looked towards where he was looking, only to see his always wise and mighty master staring at him with a half-smiling smile.
…
No one can remain calm and composed under Xiao Jue's deliberate "watching".
At least as a subordinate, Nan Zhu obviously can't either.
Therefore, facing Xiao Jue's gaze, Nan Zhu felt extremely stressed.
He was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his head without saying a word.
Ignoring the glances from Jiang Fengmian across from him, Nanzhu cursed in his heart: If you dare to make a joke on Miss Shen Si, Jiang Liu, you must have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard...
…
Looking at Nan Zhu with his head down, Jiang Fengmian could only say to himself:
"It's an elegant thing for a hero to save a beauty..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold female voice:
"Is it possible that Mr. Jiang Sixth has read too many books? Heroes saving beauties is a common plot in story books. Is it possible that you still want me to pledge my life to you today?"
Shen Qiaochen's words were extremely rude, and the atmosphere that had just eased dropped to the bottom again.
After speaking, Shen Qiaochen didn't look at the others, but turned to look at Xiao Jue.
