Chapter 12

angry!She is just the daughter of a general, yet she is so ungrateful!
When Xiao Yi was rejected, he couldn't bear it, and wished he could throw up his sleeves and leave, but thinking that Shen Xinmeng's father held half of the military power in the Great Shang Kingdom, he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest.

After he calmed down a bit, he spoke again: "Miss Shen must have misunderstood the prince. Forget it, the prince will not force you to agree to the marriage now. It will take a long time to see people's hearts, and when Miss Shen understands the prince's intentions Sincerely, this prince will come to discuss with you again."

Do you see people's hearts after a long time?In her previous life, she really experienced what it means to see people's hearts for a long time, and she gave up her life for the truth.In this life, she will never listen to his rhetoric, repeat the same mistakes, and fall into the lies and conspiracy he wove again.

Shen Xinmeng saw that he didn't speak, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would be unable to restrain himself from yelling.

Xiao Yi stared at her for a long time, and sighed heavily before leaving.

It's a pity that in the previous life, she regarded him as a treasure. Even an unintentional light cough at night can cause her to worry all night. Medicine, I can rest assured after seeing him taking it with my own eyes.Now, even looking at him feels superfluous, so how could she be moved by him with a false and sad sigh.

Guessing that Xiao Yi had already left the General's Mansion, Shen Xinmeng left the back garden alone, and walked slowly along the Chaoshou corridor.Walking to the corner, there was an extra arm in front of him blocking the air.She reacted quickly, stopped in time, and looked up at the owner of the arm.

"It's you." She suddenly felt her spirits fade away, bypassing Xiao Lang and continuing to walk forward.

He is Xiao Yi's younger brother, so he is naturally included in the ranks of people who don't want to associate with him.

Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, chased after her, and walked side by side with her.The wet clothes on his body had already been changed, and he was now wearing a snow-green robe that was almost new.He is about the same age as Shen Che, the eldest son of the General's Mansion, with about the same height and shape, so the robe fits him quite well.

After walking for a while, Shen Xinmeng, who was already a little irritable because of Xiao Yi's confession, saw Xiao Lang sticking to her like a plaster, and couldn't help asking, "The seventh prince has already left, why is the eighth prince still here?" General's Mansion?"

Seeing that she was finally willing to speak, Xiao Lang tilted his head to look at that pretty face, and felt teasing: "Although this prince met halfway with Brother Seventh Emperor and came to visit the General's Mansion together, it doesn't have to be I left with the Seventh Brother. Today, the prince watched a good show in the General's Mansion. Miss Shen is really a good trick! My proud Seventh Brother was used to being praised by others, but it was planted by Miss Shen. somersault."

He was so bored that he came to the general's mansion to watch the excitement?Shen Xinmeng stopped and looked at the wicked smile on his face, feeling very dazzling.She frowned, and the sudden anger made the black and white eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows shine brighter.

"Actually," Shen Xinmeng paused, her cold eyes glanced at Xiao Lang's captivating peach blossom eyes, wondering why this man is so beautiful, comparing her to her, then stretched out her fair fingers Lightly tapped on his heart, and poked it hard, "My daughter likes the Eighth Prince... Such a seductive person looks like a delicate flower, and his body is like a weak willow. If he puts on a green skirt, he will be the title of the most beautiful woman in the world." It’s just you. Tsk tsk!”

As she spoke, she deliberately looked Xiao Lang up and down.

Xiao Lang's face changed suddenly.He hides a seven-foot man, how does he look like a woman?He pulled off Shen Xinmeng's hand, held it in his palm, and slowly squeezed it tightly.

Shen Xinmeng was in pain, but she didn't want to show weakness, she pressed her lips tightly, raised her chin and looked at him stubbornly.

"What are you doing?" A surprised female voice sounded less than a foot away from them.

Shen Xinmeng turned her head suddenly when she heard the sound, and found that Zhao Dan'e was standing not far away, staring at her and Xiao Lang, with Fei Cui standing behind her.

"Mother!" She quickly withdrew her hand from Xiao Lang's palm and hung it under her sleeve.After being pinched by Xiao Lang just now, her hand was slightly red and swollen.

In recent days, Zhao Dan'e always felt a little uncomfortable in body and was easily fatigued. Just now she went back to her yard to take a nap for half an hour, thinking about the visit of the Seventh and Eighth Princes, worried that Shen Xinmeng and sisters would neglect the two princes, So he brought Jade and hurried over.

Seeing Xinmeng and the eighth prince standing face to face in the Chaoshou corridor, Zhao Dan'e was not surprised.After interrupting them loudly, she secretly regretted it.

One is the noble prince, and the other is the daughter of the general's mansion, so they are a good match.It's just that the private meeting of lonely men and widows here, being seen by others, spreading the word with embellishment, is not a serious problem to the Eighth Prince, but Xinmeng's reputation is bound to be damaged.

Scanning Shen Xinmeng's slightly flustered face and the eighth prince's eyes with a slight smile in turn, Zhao Dan'e stabilized her mind, stepped forward slowly, and bowed to Xiao Lang: "My poor husband is away on an expedition, and my wife can't entertain you." Zhou, please forgive me, the Eighth Prince! When my humble husband returns, he must make all the preparations and host a banquet for the Eighth Prince."

This is seeing off guests.

Xiao Lang was not surprised, and immediately followed Zhao Dan'e's intentions and said: "The prince had a great time at the General's Mansion today. I would like to thank Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen for their hospitality. Let me say goodbye!"

"Jade, give the Eighth Prince a gift."

Xiao Lang followed behind Fei Cui and walked away without even looking at Shen Xin Meng.

"Meng'er, come with me."

"Yes, mother." Shen Xinmeng felt guilty, and obediently followed Zhao Dan'e.

After they left, a maid walked out from behind the bushes outside the Chaoshou corridor, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

The mother and daughter returned to Feixia Courtyard, and a servant girl came to serve tea.Zhao Dan'e sat still and did not speak.

Knowing that her mother was angry, Shen Xinmeng was a little flustered, when she lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the teacup on the table, and she suddenly had an idea.She covered her hands with her sleeves, twisted the hand pinched by Xiao Lang for more than ten times, then got up to hold tea with both hands, walked to Zhao Dan'e, and knelt down.

"Meng'er is not filial. She failed her mother's usual teachings and made her worry about melon fields and Li Xia's misunderstanding."

Upon hearing that it was a misunderstanding, Zhao Dan'e immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"My younger sister accompanied the seventh and eighth princes to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. Meng'er was ordered by her mother to entertain the two princes. She accidentally..." Shen Xinmeng raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Dan'e, and saw her leaning forward, listening very seriously. , "Knock the Eighth Prince into the pool."

Don't talk about pushing, but about bumping.Pushing is a subjective and intentional behavior, while bumping can be interpreted as carelessness.

"What, the Eighth Prince fell into the water?!" Zhao Dan'e stood up from her seat in shock, remembering that the robe that the Eighth Prince was wearing just now was indeed not the one he was wearing before, and the long hair hanging behind her was also half wet. Xinmeng didn't lie to her about the eighth prince falling into the water.After a while, she sat down slowly, "Go on."
