Chapter 220 Don't Humiliate It
Xiao Huai stopped for half a moment before turning around.

"What would you do if I said I was really embarrassed?"

Shen Xi didn't know what to say.

They have just expressed their hearts to each other, and they have not had time to establish a solid relationship in the future.

She wasn't sure of her worth to him, whether she could survive this sudden test.

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Xiao Huai turned his face away and said, "Tell me what's going on first."

Shen Xi took a deep breath, and said: "To be precise, it's between me and the old lady of the Han family. I have a long-standing grudge with her. You know my background—"

She looked up to the left and right, and saw that the guards on the left and right pedestrians kept a safe distance intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "This grievance has something to do with my life experience."

Having said that, she paused.

She tried to spit out her life-and-death enmity with her, but she was the resurrection of Zhang Ying from 50 years ago, how horrifying this incident was.

No matter who it was, even Aunt Pei, she was not sure that she would accept it after hearing it, and would not treat her as nonsense.

No matter how affectionate she was with him, it was only for less than half a year. She had no confidence at all whether he would walk away after telling the truth...

If this kind of thing has not been experienced personally, who would believe it?
She can only choose to pick out the key parts.

"My father is an important minister of Daqin—"

Seeing her stammering, Xiao Huai stopped for her: "I know that you are the daughter of an important minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. Tell me about your grievances?"

Even though he was curious about her life experience, he was not as interested as others imagined.

In the past, I didn't care, but later I didn't want to.

King Yan also had a lot of Helian blood on his hands.

He didn't know if she happened to be a descendant of one of the Helian people that King Yan had killed.

If she is, as the only son of King Yan, entanglement with her life experience is likely to bring trouble to him and her.

The best way not to be restrained by these is not to ask who her parents and family are.

To be able to have her bloodline, after all, the status in Daqin is not much lower. What is the difference between which family's descendants and him?
In short, if she was willing to speak, he would listen.If he doesn't want to say it, then it is enough for him to know her approximate identity and know that her enemy is not him.

Shen Xi was extremely grateful.Next reorganize the language.

"She almost killed me once." She chose this way of saying, "I escaped from her hands through all kinds of hardships, and left this life to go to the Shen family.

"Not long ago, I just found out the truth, and felt that I couldn't swallow this breath, so I wanted to settle this account with her."

It took a lot of courage to tell him this.

"You are really playing with fire." He frowned and looked at her deeply.

"Sir!"

Just at this time, two men in normal clothes walked not far away, and they walked over to greet him with kind faces.

Shen Xi quickly restrained his mind, turned around and stepped aside.

The person who came was a Confucian scholar from the Imperial Academy, so Xiao Huai had to nod his head.

In front of him was a row of small vendors selling pearl flower purses. Shen Xi picked up two purses and fiddled with them in his hands. Thinking back to what he said about playing with fire, his thoughts became so confused that he became the stall of his subordinates.

"Go for a cup of tea."

After a while, a hand held her and led her into the nearby tea house.

The tea house is rather simple, but it is still clean, and there are some traditional totems of the Tuoba people hanging on the walls.

When the tea came, Shen Xi drank it slowly, but Xiao Huai remained silent.

All the tea was eaten in silence.

When he walked out of the tea house and returned to the street, Shen Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore: "I've been out for a long time, why don't you go back?"

She doesn't like it.

Whether it's life or death, give it a good time, what's the matter with holding back like this?

Xiao Huai stared at her in the backlight.

She doesn't move.

After staring at her for a while, he looked away and said, "It's still early, what's the rush?"

She said, "Auntie may wait for me to go back for dinner."

"I have food here!" He suddenly became sullen, "Could it be that I can't afford you? I, Xiao Huai, don't even have the ability to let my own woman live comfortably?!"

Although his voice is not high but powerful.

Shen Xi's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously looked around.He pulled her closer to him: "Look at me!"

Shen Xi could only look at him.

"I said you can treat other people as you like, anyone but me! Did you forget?"

His eyes were not very kind.

She raised her heart slightly and said, "I haven't forgotten..."

Even if she didn't forget, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, how could she not care what he thinks?
"Then let me tell you again, no matter who you have an enemy with, as long as the enemy is not me, it doesn't matter if she is the Han family or someone else! Do you remember?"

Shen Xi nodded.

"As you said, since you are already the eldest concubine of Prince Yan's mansion who has gathered the world's soldiers and horses, how can you humiliate these three words?

"You should make it right!
"I, Xiao Huai, am arrogant and domineering in Dazhou. How can you lose to me? Someone bullied you, just return it!
"Going to the Han family, you are indeed playing with fire, but with me fighting the fire behind you, what are you afraid of? If you get into trouble, I will clean it up for you later!
"Don't you think I'll back away?"

Shen Xi's eyes were sour again: "I'm just afraid that you will be dragged down by me..." Although it sounds a bit nasty, but what if she really thinks this way?
"You have dragged me down a long time ago! Since the first time I let you go."

He pressed against her face, his complexion darkened under the backlight, but Shen Xi's heart was still warmly illuminated by him.

She lifted up his sleeve stupidly, and wiped her tears: "Then are you going to help me avenge?"

"No." He looked helplessly at the sleeves stained with her tears, and simply wiped them off for her, "Avenge yourself, avenge yourself.

"However she hurt you, you will give me back everything! Don't leave any strength behind.

"My woman, you shouldn't be bullied and don't know how to fight back! Instead, you should make a show of it and let everyone know that even if the sky falls, I will still be there for you!"

In addition to the power of the crown prince, although he can also give it to others, she probably won't care about it.

He has already noticed the matter with the Han family. If she needs him to take action, he can do it, but it is obviously not what she wants.

Previously, she knew clearly that as long as she glanced at him, he could quickly come over and help her clean up Han Min.But she didn't.

Although he didn't know how the old lady of the Han family murdered her, but her background destined her to bear a much heavier burden than he imagined!
He will not take the initiative to expose her scars.From the cruelty and silence in her eyes when she faced Han Min, he could already see her determination to take revenge.

The slap on Han Min's face earlier, if he had slapped her, she would never have smiled so brightly.

There is only one reason for abandoning the helpers around her and preferring to reach out by herself, that is, the grievance has become so serious that only she can do it by herself!It's cool enough!
Since this is what she wanted, why wouldn't he give it?
What she lacks is status and power, and it's not that she lacks skills.
