Chapter 23 Shame
Who knew that the girl didn't feel angry at all, and even looked at Shen Xian with a mocking look on her face and said with a smile: "Miss Shen Er, you don't think you are still the number one lady, do you? Your reputation has plummeted a long time ago. If you had You don’t feel ashamed to make trouble here, do you?”
Is she embarrassed?
Shen Xian tilted her head. Why was she embarrassed? It wasn't because she was robbing others.
She smiled softly and said, "It's interesting. People who steal someone's husband don't feel ashamed, and they blame me?" Her voice fell on the ears of everyone present.
They already knew that Shen Xian had no previous engagement with the third prince, but now that they heard her say this, they thought of Xiao Hui.
The girl's expression changed, she turned around and tugged at the corner of Cai Heng's clothes, and whispered aggrievedly: "A Heng..."
Cai Heng glanced at her, then turned to look at Shi Ying. His eyes seemed a little bored, and even his words were extremely impatient: "Fifth Princess, I did that to you just because you are a princess. The elders in the family told me not to be disobedient. You, but the person in my heart is not you, and I can’t force you, but I beg the fifth princess not to let others laugh at you."
Shi Ying was stunned, tears were still hanging on her face, and her clothes were crooked. She didn't look like a princess at all, instead she looked embarrassed.
It took her a long while before she said, "But you...but you said you were willing to be the consort!"
"That's my father's wish, not mine. Please let me go!"
Shen Xian really couldn't bear it anymore. When she saw Cai Heng and that woman, she thought of Shi Yu and Xiao Huilai.
She looked Cai Heng up and down and said with a smile: "Young Master Cai is really a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are working together to commit adultery."
Cai Heng: "You!"
Cai Heng glared at Shen Xian with a red face. After all, he was also a scholar, and he was really not as good as Shen Xian when it came to quarreling.
"Because the princess thinks so highly of you, Mr. Cai must be living a very happy life in the court these days. I remember that your family ran out of money not long ago. Now look at Mr. Cai, all you are wearing is brocade grosgrain. One horse is worth a hundred taels, where does the money come from?" After saying that, he turned to look at Shi Ying, pretending to be surprised and said: "The princess won't spend money on men, right?"
Shi Ying gritted her teeth and stared at Cai Heng fiercely and shouted: "Give back everything I gave you! Clothes, jade pendants, calligraphy and paintings!"
Shen Xian looked at her in surprise.
It's really her style.
Cai Heng suddenly couldn't get off the stage. The people around him were pointing at him and he couldn't say a word. He wanted to take off his clothes but couldn't leave this person behind, so he kept his head low and twisted.
The woman hiding behind her suddenly walked out with red eyes and looked at Shi Ying and said: "Fifth Princess, I know you are angry, and I really shouldn't be like this, but Princess, I can't control my feelings. I don’t want to earn anything with the princess. I am not as noble or beautiful as you, but I..."
"But you are still a bitch." After Shen Xian said this, the woman's face stiffened.
Shi Ying also suddenly came to his senses: "You knew you shouldn't have done it anyway. It would be better for you and me to compete fairly at the beginning, but then we were playing dirty tricks in private."
After saying that, he gave her a fierce look and said: "Please remember to me, it's not you who tricked me, it's me who saw clearly what you are!"
After saying that, she pulled Shen Xian and walked out. Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, while Xiang Nong and Shen Yao looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"Why are you pulling me? Princess, we don't seem to know each other well, right?"
Shen Yao stepped forward and bravely called Shi Ying to stop her, and asked anxiously: "Princess, where are you taking my second sister?"
After walking out of the red building and standing in front of the carriage, Shi Ying suddenly stopped and turned her head. Only then did Shen Xian see that the tears on her face were not dry yet, and there were still tears rolling in her eyes.
Before she could speak, Shi Ying suddenly said: "You helped me. I am not an ungrateful person. I also helped you not to be embarrassed by them and not to make you more embarrassed. We are even."
Shen Xian raised her eyebrows, wanting to laugh a little.
Are they the only ones who can make things difficult for her?
All together, not one of them is difficult for Shi Ling to deal with. Is she still afraid of them?
"Thank you very much, princess?"
Shi Ying: "You're welcome."
After saying that, Shen Xian nodded and prepared to leave with Shen Yao. Shi Ying stared at the backs of them walking together and lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and frowned and shouted: "You, you just left like that?"
Shen Xian turned around and said, "Then, princess, I am resigning?"
"I, I'm in a bad mood right now, can't you say something to comfort me?" If she had some choice, she would not want Shen Xian to accompany her, but now she found that the people around her were all because she was five Princess.
If she wasn't the fifth princess, those people probably wouldn't even look at her again.
She knew she was stupid, but being stupid didn't mean she was stupid. Anyone who deceived her was a bad person. Shen Xian didn't deceive her and helped her, so he was a good person.
Shen Xian touched her chin and uttered: "This kind of thing has happened to me before. It's nothing unusual. Practice makes perfect, right? You'll know how to deal with it next time you meet me, right? Oh, by the way, you must not If you spend money on a man again, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life! You said you are a good princess, why should you spend money on a man? How can a man support you if he can't even support himself?"
At first glance, Shi Ying felt quite dissatisfied and subconsciously said, "Then you also gave my uncle a lot of things and spent money on him."
"Your uncle!" Shen Xian raised her voice, attracting people around her to look over. She quickly said in a low voice: "How can you compare your uncle to Cai Heng?"
"Can it be the same? Your uncle's flower is a flower from the high mountains. You can't pick it without putting some effort into it. Besides, your uncle is rich himself, so he doesn't like the flower I gave it to him."
Shi Ying glanced at her and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "My imperial uncle will not fall in love with vulgar fans."
"I think so too, so I am the most suitable person for your uncle."
"...Quite confident."

After the incident about the fifth princess came out, everyone's discussion direction changed from the fifth princess's fight in the Red Mansion to the fifth princess and Shen Xian breaking the ice and making friends. The discussion was very intense.
And Shen Xian's attention has been on where Shi Ling went. The city gate has been closed these days, but she has almost searched all over Kyoto and still can't see Shi Ling.
On this day, she went to visit Prince Xuan's Mansion as usual. Xiang Nong went to find out if Shi Ling was back. The news she brought back was that Shi Ling was still not at the manor. Shen Xian angrily kicked the stone lion next to her.
It can’t be just to avoid her family, right?
Xiang Nong raised his head and suddenly saw a familiar person coming out of it. He quickly pulled Shen Xian's arm. The latter looked up and immediately relaxed his eyebrows to indicate to Xiang Nong.
"Brother, please wait a moment!"
Ah Feng looked at the woman running towards him and subconsciously took a step back: "Gu, Gu..."
Xiang Nong: "I'm not your aunt. You made a mistake. I'm my lady's maid. My name is Xiang Nong. I want to see you if I need anything."
"Girl, stop!" Ah Feng finally said this.
Xiang Nong looked down at her feet that had stopped a long time ago, with a puzzled look on her face: "Are you stuttering?"
"No, it's not."
"Oh...my lady would like to ask you a favor, can you?"
