Chapter 46
When it was time to eat, Zhao Dan'e did not attend because her body was getting heavier.Xinmeng sent her maid to Qionghua Courtyard to invite her again and again, but Shen Yunluo came late.It's okay to let the guests and sister-in-law wait, but when they come, they salute casually, and after sitting down, they look unhappy, as if others owe her something.

Xinmeng was unhappy in her heart, but because she cared about Chen Xingzhou's face, she never showed it on her face.

As for Chen Xingzhou, because Xi Shi is in the eyes of lovers, he feels that Shen Yunluo's appearance is unique and charming, and he likes her a little more.

Because there were not many people, there were only three sisters from the Shen family and Chen Xingzhou, so the dishes on the banquet were not many, and they were prepared according to the standard of family banquets, which were simple, warm and delicate.

Seeing that Shen Yunluo lowered her head and only cared about eating by herself, Xinmeng secretly sighed, and gave the servant girl a wink.The maid hurriedly brought a pair of clean silver chopsticks.

"Brother Chen Shi, if you can't be greeted, eat more, don't be polite." Xin Meng said as she picked up a piece of vegetables and sent them to Chen Xingzhou's bowl.

Chen Xingzhou didn't expect that the eldest lady of the General's Mansion would serve him vegetables with her own hands, so he was overwhelmed by the flattery, and quickly stood up to thank him: "Thank you, sister Xinmeng."

"Hey, Mr. Chen, my sister called you brother for the sake of Mr. Chen Huo, and you really consider yourself our elder brother?" Shen Yunluo suddenly put down her silver chopsticks, raised her head and mocked Chen Xingzhou.

"I, I..." Being embarrassed by the person he likes, Chen Xingzhou showed embarrassment, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Xinmeng frowned and scolded: "Yunluo, what are you talking about! Mr. Chen Huo and his father are of the same age and are old friends. What's wrong with me calling Mr. Chen a senior brother? Besides, Mr. Chen is a guest, and you, as the host You don’t treat guests with care, but you speak nonsense and are extremely rude. Hurry up and apologize to Chen Shixiong!"

"Why should I apologize to him! I won't eat this meal!" Shen Yunluo gave Chen Xingzhou a hard look, stood up abruptly and walked out.

"Yunluo, come back!" But Shen Yunluo turned a deaf ear and left without looking back.

Xin Meng frowned fiercely, staring at Shen Yunluo's back in puzzlement.Although this younger sister has always been spoiled and willful, she has never been so rude.

Could it be related to what happened on the day of the flowing water banquet in the prime minister's mansion?But Shen Yunluo was in a coma at the time, and didn't even know that Chen Xingzhou was in the room, so why did she lose her composure today?
Subconsciously looking back at Chen Xingzhou, he saw that he was staring at the direction of Shen Yunluo's departure with a disappointed expression on his face.

"My sister is rude, please forgive me Chen Shixiong!" Xinmeng sighed softly, "Chen Shixiong please sit down! Rong Xinmeng will use tea instead of wine to make amends for my sister."

"No, no, it's Xingzhou's fault." Chen Xingzhou sat down dejectedly, "Yunluo...Miss hates me very much. What did I do to make her hate me so much?"

"Brother Chen Shi..." For a while, Xinmeng didn't know how to comfort him.Twisted melons are not sweet, and in the final analysis of emotional matters, you still need to love me.

Shen Yunluo shook her hand and left, and the remaining two were also in no mood.After politely finishing the banquet, Chen Xingzhou got up and said goodbye.Xinmeng specifically asked the housekeeper Shen Fu to arrange a carriage to take Chen Xingzhou to the post house.

After seeing off Chen Xingzhou, Xinmeng went directly to Qionghua Courtyard.

When Xinmeng walked into Qionghua Courtyard, Shen Yunluo had already changed into a thin white gauze skirt, and she was reclining on a wicker chair in the yard to enjoy the shade.A servant girl stood beside her, shaking a white jade fan rhythmically.Another maid was kneeling at her feet, holding a white porcelain bowl filled with iced watermelon that had been peeled, deseeded, and cut into small pieces.

The maid picked up a piece of watermelon and fed it to Shen Yunluo.The sweet taste, coupled with the cold taste, made Shen Yunluo narrow her eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing this scene, Xin Meng was angry and annoyed, and quickly stepped forward to wave the two maids back, looked down at Shen Yunluo condescendingly, and did not speak.

Shen Yunluo couldn't wait for the watermelon for a long time, and when she opened her eyes, she found that her sister-in-law was standing in front of her, staring at herself with displeasure.

"Sister, you're here." She stretched her waist, looked left and right, and snorted, as if she just realized that the maids were gone. Come over and give me a chair to sit on."

"No, I'll just say a few words." Xin Meng said lightly.The relationship between her and Shen Yunluo is not good enough to sit together to enjoy the cool and talk.

"My sister is here to help Chen Xingzhou to say good things. I advise my sister not to waste her words." She called Mr. Chen in front of her face, and Shen Yunluo called Chen Xingzhou's name directly behind her back.She covered her mouth and smiled softly, her drooping eyelashes covered the flash of cruelty in her eyes.

Since Shen Yunluo took the initiative to mention Chen Xingzhou, Xinmeng stopped beating around the bush and probing, and went straight to the point: "I think Mr. Chen seems to be interested in my younger sister. My younger sister may wish to consider him. Although the Chen family is not as good as the Tian family, it is also a family of officials. Mr. Chen Huo You are an old friend with your father, and with this relationship, you will not be wronged if you marry Chen Xingzhou as a regular wife. If you are willing to marry Chen Xingzhou, you can ask your mother to make decisions for you and come forward to discuss marriage with the Chen family."

"I don't need to worry about my marriage." Shen Yunluo looked arrogant, "I adore the Seventh Prince, and if I want to marry, I will marry the Seventh Prince, and I will not marry anyone else."

"Yunluo, don't rush to reject Mr. Chen's kindness, you should seriously consider it for a few days first." Xinmeng made the last effort, although she knew that Shen Yunluo might not be able to listen to her kindness and understand her kindness.

"Since my sister thinks Chen Xingzhou is good, marry him yourself, don't hurt me again, I can't bear it!" Shen Yunluo's round almond eyes suddenly burst out with strong hatred.

This hatred came inexplicably.For a while, Xinmeng couldn't help being stunned, and after a while, she asked very puzzled: "What do you mean, have I ever hurt you?"

"My sister is so forgetful! My sister will help you recall, okay?" Shen Yunluo sneered, and helped the two butterflies on her hair to fly together, "Prime Minister's Mansion, Flowing Water Banquet."

With a thump in her heart, Xinmeng stared at Shen Yunluo nervously.From her voice, it seemed that she already knew that the man who was with her on the day of the Flowing Water Banquet was Chen Xingzhou.

Glancing at Xinmeng, Shen Yunluo snorted softly: "Sister and Chen Xingzhou set up a trap, let the maid of the prime minister's mansion trick me into going to the side courtyard, knock me out, deliberately create the illusion of raw rice and cooked rice, in order to force me to marry To Chen Xingzhou."

It seems that Shen Yunluo did know, but some things were not what she thought.

Xinmeng had no intention of suffering for others, and immediately shook her head: "You have wronged me! This is the first time I saw Chen Xingzhou today. I have never seen him before, let alone know him. How could I conspire with him to kill you? Let alone , that is the prime minister's mansion, not the general's mansion, how could I make the servant girl of the prime minister's mansion move?"
