Chapter 11 Shen Nanzi Bites Xie Yan

Chapter 11 Shen Nanzi Bites Xie Yan

Xie Yan turned her head, her eyes cold and displeased, and quickly covered the child's ears.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Looking at this meticulous man, Shen Nanzi felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but her face was full of sarcasm. "This child isn't one you had outside, is it?"

"Shen Nanzi, shut up!" He frowned. "This isn't the Jing Prince's residence. Don't act recklessly. What if the child hears you?"

"You know this isn't the Prince Jing's residence?" Shen Nanzi sneered. "The children practicing riding here today are all father and son. May I ask what your relationship is with this child?"

"You don't need to know."

"Have you ever thought about the dignity of me and Cheng'er? By teaching other people's children here, you are slapping us in the face in public."

"You tell me not to be unreasonable, but have you ever thought about what we should do, how Cheng'er should face the criticism from others?"

"Shen Nanzi, I'll say it one more time, you leave immediately!"

"I'm not leaving. Today I want to see who this child's mother is and where his father is."

"Shadowless!" Xie Yan shouted, "Take her away!"

A nimble young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Wuying, one of Xie Yan's guards.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!" Wu Ying's eyes showed absolute obedience to Xie Yan.

Shen Nanzi gritted her teeth, a mocking look on her face.

Just when Wuying thought she was about to leave, Shen Nanzi grabbed Xie Yan's arm and bit her.

As pain struck, Xie Yan frowned instantly, and with a forceful push, flipped Shen Nanzi to the ground.

"You're insane!" He rolled up his sleeves, looking at the teeth marks on the back of his hand. "Get her away from here!"

Shen Nanzi looked smugly at her masterpiece. If it made her Cheng'er suffer, she wouldn't let him get away with it.

Even taking a bite would be too good for him!

The next instant, Wuying pressed her acupoints, and her limbs instantly became powerless.

She glared at Xie Yan with hatred, letting the guards carry her away.

Her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth as she shouted, "Xie Yan, I hate you!"

"Hate me if you want! I don't care!" Xie Yan's eyes were icy, her legs clamped together to protect the child in front of her, and the horse galloped inside.

She was like a burden thrown onto someone's shoulder, and passersby stared at her in shock, including the ill-intentioned Lin Ruyi.

"It's Princess Consort Jing! She's had another argument with Prince Jing!"

"It's utterly humiliating. To be carried like this by a guard, where is the dignity of a princess?"

"If it were any other woman, she would have killed herself by now. It's only because it's her; she's so mad, it's nothing unusual!"

"It's a pity that Prince Jing didn't have a good wife; no wonder he spends his days in brothels."

Shen Nanzi felt a rush of blood to her head, her eyes stung, and large tears slid down her cheeks.

Lie Feng, who was waiting outside, rushed over upon seeing this and shouted, "Let her go!"

Wu Ying looked at Lie Feng. The two were under the same roof, but they were loyal to different masters.

He was not acting under orders, nor did he want to do so, so he put Shen Nanzi down and released her acupoints.

He said "sorry" and left.

Shen Nanzi's hair was loose and her clothes were disheveled. She grabbed Lie Feng's sleeve and wiped the tears from her face.

Lie Feng looked at him with pity on his face.

The wind blows, carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Shen Nanzi sniffed, carefully tidied her disheveled hair, straightened her clothes, wiped away the dried tear stains, and forced a smile.

"Let's go back! Cheng'er is waiting!"

"Cheng'er is asleep!"

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" She'd wasted all her time.

The two walked toward the carriage.

Flower and Bird Hut

A semi-enclosed courtyard hidden on a hillside in the eastern suburbs.

The surrounding area is filled with lush trees, leaving only a quiet path.

However, it was the dead of winter, and the scene was desolate.

Go deeper in, and you can hear dogs and cats meowing, and birds foraging on the branches.

"Tell me, is Xie Yan going too far?" Shen Nanzi stood on the counter, a cloth wrapped around her waist, holding a kitchen knife and chopping vegetables.

With a scrape of the knife on the cutting board, the chopped vegetables fell into the vegetable basket next to it.

Then he picked up a radish, and with a swift and skillful chop, he chopped it down as if he were chopping Xie Yan.

"I have completely lost face."

"Didn't you ask for it?"

The sixth prince, Xie Yu, squatted in a horse stance, his robes lifted and tied around his waist, his sleeves pushed up to his elbows.

He held an axe between his hands, swung it upwards, and with a forceful swing of his arms, the wood in front of him split open.

"If he hadn't said he would only be with one person in his life, I wouldn't have asked my brother to ask the Emperor for a marriage decree."

Shen Nanzi muttered to herself, channeling her frustration into chopping vegetables.

"You actually believed what he said when he was young and impetuous."

Shen Nanzi pouted, "I thought all the royals were like you, and besides, he had such a good reputation back then."

“Other princes had women by their side before they got married, but he was all clean and tidy, and even the servants in his room were just young boys.”

"Many girls are infatuated with him, saying he is a pipe dream."

"I was young and impetuous at the time, and my outstanding appearance led me to have some improper thoughts."

"I was thinking of having my brother try his luck before the Emperor, but who knew he would be betrothed to someone else?"

"Alas! It's too late for regrets! My life is hopeless; I'm just struggling in a sea of ​​suffering."

After she finished speaking, she chopped hard again, as if venting her anger.

"I didn't, don't include me." After chopping one tree stump, Xie Yu moved another one over.

Shen Nanzi didn't react, "What don't you have?"

"There are no women around me!" Xie Yu said irritably, and swung his axe at the wood. Alas! The axe got stuck!

He tried pulling several times but couldn't get it out. "Come help!"

Seeing his face turn red, Shen Nanzi waved him away, saying, "Get out of the way, watch me."

Xie Yu stepped aside and sat on a wooden stool to the side, watching with his arms crossed.

"Isn't your mother looking for a wife for you? Whose daughter was it on the day of your uncle's wedding?"

With her stunningly beautiful face, Shen Nanzi bent over, rubbed her hands together with all her might.

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! I can't get out!" She kicked the wood angrily. "Let's get a different axe! They're inseparable."

"I thought you were so amazing!" Xie Yu teased her.

Shen Nanzi wiped the sweat from her forehead, no longer wanting to work. "Xiao Huang, go get me a stool."

A small dog with a yellow face and white fur received the command and ran off quickly, returning in no time with a wooden stool in its mouth.

Shen Nanzi took it, sat down, and patted Xiao Huang's head. "Good dog, so smart!"

Little Yellow was so happy that it fell to the ground, exposed its belly, and rolled around on its back with its four legs in the air.

Shen Nanzi played with the dog for a while longer, then urged the Sixth Prince beside her, "How was the young lady that day?"

“If you don’t like it, then it’s not a good thing.” Xie Yu looked at the sky through the tree branches.

"You really have to find someone you like, otherwise marriage will be a disaster," Shen Nanzi thought about her broken life.

"That only applies to women. You men can go out and seek pleasure when you're unhappy."

"But for us, marriage is for life. We have to stay with a husband who doesn't love us, until death do us part!"

A breeze blew by, relieving the heat from working.

"There is a way," Xie Yu said.

"What can we do?" Shen Nanzi asked, looking at him.

Xie Yu turned around, and their eyes met. Shen Nanzi stared at him expectantly.

I'll tell you when you make up your mind.

Shen Nanzi casually grabbed a piece of wood shavings and threw it at him.

"You're just kidding me!"

Xie Yu nimbly dodged, the wood chips passing behind him perfectly, and said with a grin, "You still have him in your heart, even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to let him go."

Shen Nanzi remained silent; she was indeed unwilling to accept this.

He patted the crumbs off his hands, stood up, and untied the apron. "I have to go back to the manor to find Xie Yan and ask him clearly whether that child is his bastard child born outside."
