Chapter 27 Reaping the consequences
The sun rises, shaded by the morning glow.
Xie Lingxiao had finished his breakfast and was about to leave the house when Ling Feng walked in from outside.
"Your Highness, there's news coming from Miss Shen's secret guards." After saying this, Ling Feng secretly observed Xie Lingxiao.
Looking at Ling Feng's expression, Xie Lingxiao asked, "What happened?"
Ling Feng didn't notice anything unusual, and couldn't help but frowned: "Yesterday, the prince went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and met Miss Shen San."
"I don't know what Third Miss Shen said, but the prince sent someone to bring a man to First Miss Shen's yard last night."
When Xie Lingxiao heard this, he felt inexplicably nervous and a little angry, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
He stood up suddenly and looked at Ling Feng.
"Your Highness, it failed." Ling Feng spoke hurriedly when he saw his face turned pale.
Xie Lingxiao glared at him fiercely: "You want to go back and train again?"
"Hurry up and tell me." After he finished speaking, he sat back in his chair, lowered his head, and wondered what he was thinking about.
Ling Feng recounted what happened last night at a very fast speed.
Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "The Crown Prince and Miss Shen San?"
"Did Miss Shen do it?"
Ling Feng looked at Xie Lingxiao and felt as if his mood had improved in an instant.
He lowered his head silently and answered: "Miss Shen had someone do it. It should be lively soon."
Xie Lingxiao stood up and walked out, Ling Feng followed him silently.
The sun was at its zenith and the sunlight was shining brightly. The tranquility of Pixiangyuan was disturbed by the screams.
"Ah..." Shen Jinghuan suddenly realized that there was someone next to her and screamed in fright.
As the screams became louder and louder, the maids and guards gathered in the direction where the sound came from.
Then there was a rapid knock on the door: "Miss, what happened?"
Shen Jinghuan was awakened by the maid's voice, and at the same time, Xie Zihan, who was lying naked beside her, also woke up.
When Shen Jinghuan saw clearly that the person next to him was Xie Zihan, he hurriedly shouted outside: "Don't come in."
Xie Zihan turned his head and looked at Shen Jinghuan whose face was slightly red, and his heart softened.
Thinking about what the two of them did last night, my heart still can't calm down for a long time.
This was not the first time for him. He had maids and concubines in the mansion, but what happened last night still left him feeling unsatisfied.
Last night, the two of them seemed tireless and fell asleep one after another until dawn.
Thinking of this, he hugged Shen Jinghuan into his arms again: "Huan'er..."
Shen Jinghuan nestled in Xie Zihan's arms, feeling both nervous and excited, and let him hug her.
Is she finally going to get her wish and become the Crown Princess?
Xie Zihan looked at her charming smile and became a little distracted.
His hands couldn't help but slide up and down, and the breathing of both of them gradually became heavier.
In the end, they couldn't suppress their desires. One kept giving, while the other kept demanding.
For a moment, the room repeated the events of last night that left them unsatisfied.
Shen Jingxuan came to Pixiangyuan. She stood outside the door and listened to the sounds coming from the room.
She suddenly remembered the betrayal she suffered in her previous life.
Shen Jingxuan clenched her hands gradually and her eyes turned red, until the pain in her palms made her wake up instantly.
She was dead in her previous life, and in this life, she would not give anyone the chance to hurt her.
Xie Zihan had nothing to do with her. No matter which woman he had sex with, her heart would not be disturbed at all.
When Shen Jingxuan turned around, someone she didn't expect appeared in her sight.
Xie Lingxiao had been standing not far from her at some point, looking at her quietly.
Shen Jingxuan taunted, "Is the Prince Regent so casual when he enters the palace?"
"As the regent, he didn't even send a visiting card. He went straight into the backyard when entering someone else's mansion. How ridiculous."
Only then did Xie Lingxiao remember that he did not send in a visiting card, nor did he ask anyone to inform him.
When he learned that Shen Jingxuan was in Pixiangyuan, he hurried over.
When I arrived, I saw Shen Jingxuan standing in front of the door motionless.
He could only watch her from afar, seeing her clenched hands, her slightly red eyes when she turned around, and her surprise when she saw him...
Xie Lingxiao suddenly found that he was feeling depressed and a little irritated.
Thinking that he had not dealt with any of his affairs since leaving the house, he was eager to take a look at the situation here and could not help frowning.
He didn't explain to Shen Jingxuan, just stood quietly in the yard.
Occasionally he would glance at the woman sitting on the chair from the corner of his eye.
Shen Jingxuan ignored him. Thinking about how she had just been betrayed by her best friend and boyfriend in her previous life, her beautiful brows gradually frowned.
She thought she had let it go, but when she stood outside the door and heard the sounds coming from the room, she knew she had not let it go.
This incident was like a knife that stabbed her heart hard, and the wound left behind may never heal...
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan sitting there, thinking quietly, and did not disturb her.
Seeing that she didn't cry or make a fuss, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He knew that Shen Jingxuan had liked Xie Zihan since she was a child, but he never thought that she liked him to this extent?
Even if Xie Zihan doesn't like her, even if he has physical contact with someone else, can she accept it?
Looking at Shen Jingxuan, who could calmly accept Xie Zihan's affair with her sister just to be with him, Xie Lingxiao felt a ball of anger slowly burning in his heart.
Xie Lingxiao didn't understand why seeing Shen Jingxuan like this made him angry and furious. Why did he feel depressed?
Thinking that she liked Xie Zihan so much, he felt a hint of jealousy creeping in his heart.
When Xie Lingxiao was about to leave, a group of people came towards him and stopped him.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen heard the doorman report that the Regent had entered the mansion.
They hurried over to pay their respects to Xie Lingxiao: "Regent..."
Xie Lingxiao did not respond, but just nodded slightly at them.
After Mr. Shen stood up, he saw Shen Jingxuan sitting in the yard.
He came to Shen Jingxuan's side, looked at Shen Jingxuan motionlessly, and knew that something must have happened.
"Xuan'er? What happened?" Old Master Shen asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid of scaring his granddaughter.
Shen Jingxuan was immersed in her own thoughts. When she heard the voice of Mr. Shen, she slowly raised her head.
Seeing her almond-shaped eyes slightly red and her lower lip bitten tightly, Xie Lingxiao raised his hand and pressed his chest.
Her calm voice rang out: "Grandfather, Grandma, you are here."
At this moment, a man's low growl was heard in the room, and Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen realized that something was wrong.
Mr. Shen walked over quickly and kicked the door open.
"Ah ah ah..."
Shen Jinghuan's scream and Xie Zihan's furious voice came from the room: "Get out."
Xie Zihan brought a quilt to wrap Shen Jinghuan, turned his head and glared at the door. When he saw that the person coming was Mr. Shen, he turned away silently.
When Mr. Shen saw that the man on the bed was Xie Zihan, he frowned and said, "Put on your clothes and come out."
He turned and walked out of the room, came to Shen Jingxuan, and patted her shoulder gently.
For a moment, the yard was quiet, with only the sound of people dressing in the room and the whistling wind in the yard.
The two of them finally got dressed and went out one after the other. Mr. Shen led everyone to the front hall.
