Chapter 58: Obscene Woman
When Shen Jingxuan saw the scene like a dark cloud covering the sun, she couldn't help but think of the fat guy who claimed to be her brother.
She silently took three steps back before she saw the man's appearance.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the woman. She... uh... fat and big-eared?
Well, she was wearing a lotus-colored dress..., it was really that dress, it showed off her figure to the fullest.
Looking at the three bumps on her waist, Shen Jingxuan was afraid that she would accidentally tear her clothes.
"Sir..." The woman stared at her, like a dog seeing a bone.
Seeing the woman trying to salute her, Shen Jingxuan said in horror: "Don't salute."
She was afraid because she was dressed like a man and if her clothes broke, she wouldn't be able to explain it.
When Shen Jingxuan saw her step forward, she took a few steps back.
"Miss, it's nothing. I'll go upstairs." Shen Jingxuan pretended to be calm, turned sideways and walked to the side.
What she didn't expect was that the woman also moved and stood in front of her again.
Shen Jingxuan's face darkened: "Miss, is there something wrong?"
The woman glanced at the maid, and the maid said sensibly, "Sir, my daughter would like to invite you to a simple meal."
There were quite a few people sitting in the inn at this time. They were all used to the pig's behavior. It was simply that it had taken a liking to the young man.
"Look, spring has come again for that pig."
"Every day is his spring. When he sees a good-looking man, his eyes sparkle with green light."
"That's right, now even good-looking young men don't dare to go out."
"After all, her father is the city lord. What's wrong with being a little fat?"
Shen Jingxuan's eyes rolled up as she listened to the discussions around her.
What's wrong with being a little fat? There's nothing wrong with being a little fat, but this fat guy is too arrogant.
Shen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Girl, I've been running all the way, I want to rest early."
"How about I treat you to a meal tomorrow at noon? Just make the reservation and I'll be there on time."
The woman looked at Shen Jingxuan's smile and was stunned for a moment.
She stared at Shen Jingxuan without blinking and raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.
Shen Jingxuan's face was full of black lines. Did this guy treat her as a human being?
Isn’t this the expression of a wolf seeing meat or a dog seeing bones?
"Girl? Girl?" Shen Jingxuan interrupted her.
"Okay, okay, let's meet at the restaurant next door tomorrow," he said, still standing there motionless.
Shen Jingxuan walked around her and went upstairs. The fat man didn't leave until he could no longer see her. He smacked his lips.
Shen Jingxuan returned to the room and secretly felt it was a pity. She had wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally tomorrow, but it seemed that her plan had failed.
If I had known this would happen, I would have set off overnight.
Early the next morning, Shen Jingxuan went downstairs early, ordered breakfast, and sat by the window on the first floor to eat.
There were footsteps coming from the stairs. Shen Jingxuan looked up and felt that this person was extremely familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
The man waved his hand: "Boss, bring some breakfast."
"Okay, I'll be right there." The shopkeeper responded enthusiastically.
When Shen Jingxuan heard the man's voice, images flashed in her mind.
She thought of who it was. Wasn't this Shen Jinghuan's cousin? What was his name, Xu?
"Li Xu?" Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but say.
Li Xu frowned and said, "Sir, do you know me?"
"Let's get to know each other. Aren't you Shen Jinghuan's cousin?" Shen Jingxuan looked at his expression and knew that she was right.
When Li Xu heard his cousin's name, his expression softened a lot: "Sir, do you know Huan'er?"
Shen Jingxuan's eyes rolled around a few times: "Is there anyone in Beijing who doesn't know her now?"
"Really? Is my cousin already that famous?"
"Don't you know? She was married to the prince as a concubine." Shen Jingxuan said.
Li Xu stood up hurriedly: "But is it true? When did it happen?"
Shen Jingxuan pretended to be surprised: "Master Li, do you really not know? It has spread all over the capital, everyone must know it."
Seeing that Li Xu didn't answer, Shen Jingxuan asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, are you going to the capital to look for your cousin?"
"Yes, but my cousin has already been granted marriage." Li Xu sighed. After all, he was still a step late.
"You don't know, I heard..." Shen Jingxuan paused deliberately.
Li Xu asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what have you heard?"
Shen Jingxuan lowered her voice and said, "I heard that she was carried into the prince's mansion, and the prince never returned to her courtyard."
"On the day she entered the palace, the prince favored her maid that night and even asked for an imperial decree to make her a concubine."
Li Xu was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Are you serious? This is too much. Huan'er is so good and kind, why is the prince doing this?"
Shen Jingxuan continued to add fuel to the fire: "Don't mention it, this is still good."
"Brother, is there anything else?" Li Xu asked.
He wanted to know more about his cousin so that he could make plans for her when he entered the capital.
"Yes, you don't know, Shen Jinghuan is pregnant with the prince's child. It was not until she fainted from anger when she entered the mansion that we found out." With every word Shen Jingxuan said, Li Xu's face darkened.
Shen Jingxuan really wanted to laugh. Li Xu had liked Shen Jinghuan since childhood. She wondered if he would still like her after knowing that Shen Jinghuan was pregnant.
"The prince is too much. He actually treated my cousin like this. Is my cousin okay?"
"It's not good, right? After all, she is alone in the Prince's Mansion, no one pays attention to her, and that favored concubine always bothers her for no reason." After saying this, Shen Jingxuan lowered her head and continued eating.
Li Xu stood up immediately after hearing this: "No, I have to rush to the capital as soon as possible to save my cousin."
Before leaving, he patted Shen Jingxuan on the shoulder: "Brother, thank you for telling me this."
"Boss, please settle the bill. Let's settle this brother's bill together."
Li Xu paid the money and walked away quickly. Shen Jingxuan was confused. What was going on? Did he do a good deed?
I wanted to cause trouble for Shen Jinghuan, but ended up eating my meal for nothing.
Shen Jinghuan really opened her eyes.
Even someone like her actually has a cousin who truly likes her.
Shen Jingxuan ate faster. Li Xu had just delayed her for so long, so she wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.
Shen Jingxuan had just left when she saw the fat guy from yesterday rushing over.
When she asked the shopkeeper, she learned that the young man who had invited her to dinner had left, and she jumped on the ground in anger.
She roared, "Chase, chase him." Then she strode towards the city gate.
They searched for Shen Jingxuan all the way, but still couldn't see her.
Shen Jingxuan walked leisurely on the street, and occasionally bought something she liked when she saw it.
When she went out for the first time, she always brought back some gifts for her mother, younger brother, grandparents.
She walked and stopped, and unknowingly arrived at the city gate. Shen Jingxuan went straight out of the city gate.
Just after leaving the city gate, I heard a pig-killing roar from behind: "Stop him."
