As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 426 The Friendship of Landlords
"You can just talk about these things in your own room, and remember to keep your mouth shut outside." The second lady's voice sounded, "How can you, a lady, insinuate the innocence of others like this?"

"Oh……"

Chen Shuya quickly looked away, bowed her head obediently and said, "I know."

The second lady looked back, looking a little confused.

The little daughter's voice is sweet but also shy.

She is not usually such a sensible and obedient girl.

But when the second lady saw Yun Qi coming in not far away, she understood everything, and a deep smile appeared in her eyes.

His Royal Highness King Dingxi is truly the most outstanding young talent in the world.

It was because Chen Shulan was older and liked by the old prince that she chose Chen Shulan as the royal concubine of King Dingxi.

But Chen Shulan didn't have this fate.

Now that the big house is in shambles, the second house is destined to be invaded.

Even if King Dingxi offers marriage, he still has concubines to fight for.

The second wife has two daughters. The eldest daughter, Chen Shuwen, has already been engaged to someone else. Only the second daughter, Chen Shuya, is left. The glory of the family is all tied to her alone.

How did she know that her second daughter was seduced by someone else.

Xie Changyuan, who was sitting not far away, saw Yun Qi coming in and was surrounded by officials from Northern Hebei. He glanced at him briefly and took a sip of tea.

The position where he sat was a bit far away from where the Chen family members were. Unfortunately, he could read lips and clearly understood what the second lady and Chen Shuya had just said.

They did not let Chen Shulan see King Zhongshan.

He said that she was determined to resist marriage, and also insinuated that she was chaste and dirty.

It seems that Chen Shulan's situation in the Chen family is worse than he thought.

Xie Changyuan leaned back on the chair, closed the folding fan, and tapped his palms gently.

Sensing a glance coming towards him, he raised his eyes and looked up.

It was Chen Shuya who was peeping. Their eyes met. Xie Changyuan naturally raised his lips and smiled. Chen Shuya's face turned red when he looked at her. He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look around.

Xie Changyuan let out a "tsk" sound in his heart, put the fan handle on his forehead and thought: It seems that his charm is still very good.

At this time, Chen Shuya and the maid got up and went to the garden.

Xie Changyuan thought for a while, then stood up and left the seat.

……

Chen Shuya walked to a quiet place and said, "She is here already?"

"Yes, the eldest master asked someone to escort her here."

Chen Shuya asked: "How is she dressed today...I mean, how is she compared to me?"

"Of course she can't compare to Miss." The maid said with a smile: "She was seriously ill and is now as weak as bean sprouts. Moreover, her situation is not as good as before. The clothes she wears are still the same as those two years ago. How can she compare? Can you please make the lady look radiant?"

"is it?"

Chen Shuya smiled brightly and proudly, then snorted again, "Then let her do it, I want to see what kind of wind she can stir up -"

"Miss!"

The maid warned.

Chen Shuya followed her line of sight and looked over. As soon as she saw the person coming, her face turned slightly red. She subconsciously pursed her lips and looked at him, "Thank you, thank you, Master."

"I didn't expect Miss Chen San to recognize me."

Xie Changyuan walked closer and seemed a little surprised: "It's such an honor."

"My, my mother introduced me from a distance." Chen Shulan lowered her head and tightened the handkerchief in her hand, "Why are Mr. Xie here?"

Chen Shuya couldn't help but wonder, did he follow her here?

He had looked at her several times just now... even though her mother had told her in private that she wanted her to win the favor of King Dingxi.

King Dingxi is indeed handsome and graceful.

But King Dingxi was also as cold as ice and kept away from strangers, which made people feel a little timid when they looked at him.

Xie Changyuan was different. Whether it was his eyes or the tone of his words, they were as gentle and comfortable as the spring breeze.

If she was impressed by such a man, Chen Shulan felt a little happy and proud.

"It's a little noisy in front." Xie Changyuan said with a warm smile: "It's my first time coming to Northern Hebei, and I'm a little acclimatized. I haven't slept well in the past few days, so I have a headache from the noise, so I came here to find some peace and quiet."

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Chen Er by chance."

"It's a bit noisy in front..." Chen Shuya glanced towards the front, hesitated and said, "Then I'll take Mr. Xie to sit in the pavilion over there. This is my home, and it can be considered as a landlord."

Xie Changyuan smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

"Thank you, Master, for inviting me here."

Chen Shuya led the way, introducing and chatting with Xie Changyuan about the climate in northern Hebei.

When she arrived at the pavilion, she ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks.

Xie Changyuan unfolded the folding fan with a "swish" sound and swung it slowly: "Are all the girls in the Chen family so sensible and meticulous?"

"We..." Chen Shuya blushed at the praise, lowered her head and said, "We have been taught by grandma since we were young. Well... we have learned the rules and etiquette carefully."

She glanced at Xie Changyuan quickly and said tentatively: "The eldest sister has the best etiquette among us. Grandpa also likes her very much."

"You mean Miss Chen?"

"Yes, eldest sister, Fifth Young Master Xie should be very familiar with her. She is the most dignified young lady of the Chen family. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She even learned archery and horse riding from her guards in the courtyard."

After saying this, she looked straight at Xie Changyuan, as if waiting for him to say something.

Xie Changyuan smiled lightly: "Oh? Which guard? I recognize a guard next to her. His name seems to be Qing——"

"Qingci, Chen Qingci!"

Chen Shuya said softly, "That one is a slave of the Chen family. He was later chosen to be with the eldest sister, and his name was given by the eldest sister."

"That guard is so loyal. He stays by my sister's side day and night. I heard that he sleeps outside the door of her room."

After finishing her words, she looked at Xie Changyuan again, as if she didn't understand anything, "Eldest sister also cares about him very much, and even helped him cut clothes and make shoes with her own hands."

Xie Changyuan said "Oh" and a dark light flashed in his eyes, "How did the third lady know these things?"

"I -" Chen Shuya was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "I also heard it from my servant. I felt friendly when I saw Mr. Xie today, so I accidentally said so much -"

She covered her mouth and said, "Mr. Xie, please don't tell others. It will bring bad reputation to my eldest sister if you tell me this kind of thing."

"of course."

Xie Changyuan smiled, "It sounds like the third girl and the eldest girl have a very good relationship..."

"Yes." Chen Shuya nodded: "We sisters have always had a good relationship. My mother-in-law always said that I should use my eldest sister as a benchmark. But I am naughty and naughty, and I can't imitate my eldest sister at all."

Xie Changyuan shook his fan lazily.

This Chen Shuya looks innocent, innocent and cute, and her words seem to be unintentional, praising Chen Shulan.

But every word of it is a soft knife, belittling Chen Shulan, implying that Chen Shulan and the guard's personal relationship are not clear, implying that Chen Shulan is fake and modest... At such a young age, he is really scheming.

If Yun Qi marries such a thing, the little girl's life will probably be miserable.

"Mr. Xie, why don't you speak?" Chen Shuya asked, blinking.

Xie Changyuan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Well, I was thinking that Miss Chen San is indeed more lively, smart and lovable, and not as... dull as Miss Chen."

Chen Shulan, who was not far away, happened to hear the last word "stupid", paused for a moment, and then moved forward with a cold face.
