Chapter 7 Sixth Prince Xie Yu

Chapter 7 Sixth Prince Xie Yu

Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Shen Nanzi and Lin Ruyi.

Shen Nanzi clasped her hands together and bowed quietly, signaling with her eyes not to reveal the truth.

Xie Yu looked away. "Lin blocked Princess Jing's path and said some offensive things, which angered Princess Jing. That's all."

Since the words were offensive, the Sixth Prince didn't say them, and no one could inquire further. The offensive words must have been filthy.

It is unacceptable to listen to.

Everyone looked at Shen Nanzi in surprise.

Xie Yan pursed her lips, somewhat surprised that this time it wasn't her fault.

Xie Yu continued, "Moreover, when Lin saw Mother Consort arrive, she deliberately lowered her voice and said something, which I didn't hear clearly."

"It was obviously not a nice thing to say, and then Princess Jing flew into a rage and said the things that everyone heard."

"Your subject suspects that what could anger Princess Jing must be related to Prince Jing," Xie Yu said, looking at Xie Yan with an unreadable expression.

With this reminder, everyone understood that Shen Nanzi's madness was all caused by Prince Jing, Xie Yan.

Xie Yan was a thorn in the side of Princess Jing, and even the slightest movement would make her grimace and thrash about in pain.

Lin Ruyi was clearly doing it on purpose, still remembering the hatred from back then, and deliberately stirring up trouble.

Xie Yan remained silent. It seemed that she had indeed been wronged, and she looked at Shen Nanzi with a hint of guilt.

Second Princess Sister-in-law Xue Qingning found it difficult to speak, "It seems everyone has misunderstood Princess Jing."

Consort Wei said, "Now that the truth has come to light, Lin, everyone understands your resentment, but so many years have passed, it's time for you to let it go."

Lin Ruyi remained silent, kneeling with her head bowed, making it impossible to discern the expression on her face.

Consort Wei sighed, "Just kowtow to Princess Jing and apologize, and let this matter rest. You have a large family to support, so don't act impulsively and disregard the bigger picture."

Lin Ruyi trembled, remained silent for a moment, then turned to Shen Nanzi, "Princess Jing, I was wrong."

She spoke against her will, clearly only because of the circumstances.

Shen Nanzi didn't want to argue with her, nor did she want her unintentional apology.

He then bid farewell to Consort Wei and departed ahead.

Now that the matter was settled, Consort Wei said to Xie Yu, "I've been sending people to look for you everywhere. Come on, someone is waiting for you."

Xie Yu seemed to know where Consort Wei intended to take him, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I still need to find Prince Rong'an."

Consort Wei grabbed him, "No, we must go first."

Xie Yu was thus forcibly taken away by Consort Wei.

Lin Ruyi was the last to get up. She looked in Shen Nanzi's direction and sneered.

"What's with all the smugness? You're such a blind fool. There's more to come. I'll be waiting for the day you cry."

Xie Yan walked behind Shen Nanzi, wanting to go up and apologize to her.

However, thinking of her past misdeeds, he just couldn't bring himself to speak.

Just then, a servant from the Prince's residence came to invite him, so he and Xue Yubai had no choice but to go ahead.

By evening, Shen Nanzi was extremely bored. After finishing the wedding banquet, she climbed into Xie Yan's carriage.

He's such a stingy person, and he's caused two troubles today; he'll really leave her here.

When Xie Yan came up, his face was indeed as sour as a rotten mandarin fish. She was huddled in the corner of his seat when he suddenly picked her up and threw her to the door.

Shen Nanzi clung to the car floor to avoid being kicked off.

"Shen Nanzi, you're itching for a beating if you don't cause trouble every day, aren't you?" Xie Yan, who had felt some guilt before, was now completely gone and was furious.

Shen Nanzi shifted her body slightly, placing herself in a safe position.

"They were the ones who were disrespectful first. I didn't overturn the table only because it was my uncle's wedding banquet today. They were all talking about me behind my back. They didn't even have eyes to let me hear them."

"You should know why you alone have so much trouble."

"It's all because of you." Shen Nanzi huffed, her eyes stinging as if they had been scalded by scallions.

She was already upset, and Xie Yan blamed her, saying that he hadn't even bothered to find out the truth about Lin Ruyi's matter and had made her apologize.

She used to be a lovable girl, but after marrying Xie Yan, her temper got worse and worse.

Now he's reached the point where he's extremely irritable and easily provoked.

"It's all your fault that I'm cursed!" she complained.

Xie Yan was amused by her, "You really have a knack for it, your ability to shirk responsibility is unparalleled."

"I haven't asked you yet, whose girl were you warming your handkerchief for today?" She couldn't hold back any longer; if she didn't get to the bottom of it, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

Xie Yan's eyes darkened, then she remembered her visit to the pavilion earlier that day. "Whose nonsense are you listening to?"

Shen Nanzi snorted coldly, "Don't do things in the first place unless you want others to know."

Xie Yan remained silent, gazing out the car window.

As dusk approached, carriages emerged from the Prince's mansion and dispersed to various locations.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Nanzi got up and stood in front of him, gazing at his handsome face.

"Xie Yan, I can't even bear to see your courtesans, let alone anyone else. You don't want to..."

He has now offended a woman from a prestigious family, and offending her means he will end up in Prince Jing's mansion.

Shen Nanzi felt a tightness in her chest and asked in a humble tone, "Can't we just live together peacefully?"

Xie Yan looked out the car window, not wanting to pay any attention to her. Her occasional sweet words were like the wind in his ear, leaving no trace.

"Thank you, Yan!" she stamped her foot, releasing the most sincere tone of a young girl pleading for peace, almost like begging.

However, all I got in return was being ignored.

His attitude was like a silent yet fierce slap across Shen Nanzi's face.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless. In fact, if she can't find out who Xie Yan is in her heart, Shen Nanzi will be unable to sleep peacefully for countless nights.

Since marrying him, her heart has been drawn to him, and all her emotions follow his. The constant anxiety and insecurity she feels about him is irritating.

Time and again he tried to ignore it, but she was his queen, and they were bound together for life.

Instead, it only makes you sink deeper and deeper, like a person in a quagmire, with no bottom in sight and no one above.

Unable to save herself, she desperately tried to hold onto Xie Yan and rot together.

Xie Yan was Shen Nanzi's calamity, and she didn't know where this calamity would end. Perhaps it would be the day she died.

Shen Nanzi sat down dejectedly, stubbornly blinking back the tears that were about to fall. She bumped her foot and looked down to see the bronze mirror.

It's a common round style with a handle, but it's adorned with a few gemstones at the back, making it very exquisite and beautiful, so I bent down to pick it up.

The next moment, Xie Yan snatched the bronze mirror from his hand.

"Who gave you permission to go through my things?"

"Didn't you lie to me this morning and say I'd lost a piece of my gold hairpin?"

"Get down!"

Shen Nanzi had no idea what she had done to offend Xie Yan, which led to him leaving her stranded on the streets of Luoyang.

It was dusk, and lights were being lit along both sides of the street.

The streets of Luoyang were incredibly beautiful, but Shen Nanzi had no heart to appreciate them; the biting wind would surely come for her.

She crossed her arms, pulled her cloak around her neck, and slowly walked towards the Jing Prince's Mansion.

The street was noisy, and she vaguely heard the words "Get lost, thief" before she was bumped into.

Then a horse-drawn carriage roared past.

Shen Nanzi opened her eyes and saw a stunningly beautiful face right in front of her, or more precisely, a face with a feminine and delicate air.

It was so beautiful it was almost dazzling; I just wanted to look at it a few more times.
