Chapter 107 Struggle
Shen Jingxuan looked at Jiang Shaoying in confusion, only to see her looking at her with excitement on her face.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen noticed something unusual in the yard and walked out together.
Jiang Shaoying pulled Shen Jingxuan behind Old Madam Shen and looked at everything in front of them excitedly.
She had never seen such a scene before, but she knew that someone was proposing to Axuan. What surprised her was that someone proposed to Axuan on the day she came of age.
Xie Zihan stood there with his head held high, looking indescribably proud and confident, and looking like he was determined to win.
"Mr. Shen, I'm here to propose to Miss Shen. I hope you can agree." Xie Lingxiao said.
Old Master Shen said with some displeasure: "Your Highness, are you being a little reckless? Today is my granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony."
He glared at Xie Zihan. What did he think of his granddaughter? An object that he could take if he wanted it and throw away if he didn't want it?
His granddaughter liked him at the beginning, but he did everything he could to break the contract for Shen Jinghuan, and now he shamelessly comes to propose marriage to her.
Even if Xuan'er hated him, he would not agree. He was obviously not a good man, so how could he let his granddaughter marry him and suffer.
Xie Zihan's face turned bad after hearing what Mr. Shen said: "I am indeed a little anxious, but Miss Shen and I are in love with each other, and I hope Mr. Shen can agree."
His words were heard by Xie Lingxiao who was standing in a corner. He suddenly looked at Shen Jingxuan. Is that so?
Could it be that she is not heartless, nor is her heart dead, but that she has someone she loves? Is it Xie Zihan?
Xie Lingxiao was a little angry. He knew that Shen Jingxuan liked Xie Zihan before, but Xie Zihan didn't like her.
She had clearly tried every possible way to break off the engagement with Xie Zihan before, so when did she start to accept him again?
Shen Jingxuan sneered and said sarcastically, "Oh, how come I don't know that I have someone I love? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince crazy?"
"Carry your things and leave, so that everyone won't be embarrassed."
What she had said before was very clear, but she didn't expect Xie Zihan didn't take it seriously and actually did such a thing.
Xie Zihan was amazed by Shen Jingxuan's dress, and his words stopped being condescending and instantly became gentle: "Xuan'er..."
"Shut up!" Xie Lingxiao shouted angrily. He came in front of Shen Jingxuan and blocked her behind him.
He felt that Xie Zihan's eyes were too dirty, and he didn't want Xie Zihan to continue looking at Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Zihan looked at Xie Lingxiao timidly: "Uncle."
"Does your father know about your actions?" Xie Lingxiao said coldly.
How could Xie Zihan dare to tell this to his father and mother? After all, he was the one who refused to marry Shen Jingxuan and she even broke off the engagement.
He lowered his head and replied through gritted teeth: "Unknown."
He never thought that the emperor's uncle, who never got involved in anything, would come to attend Shen Jingxuan's coming-of-age ceremony.
If I had known I would meet him, I would never have come here today.
Xie Lingxiao glared at him: "Why don't you take your things and go back? I will inform your father about what happened today."
"Uncle Emperor"
"Go back." Xie Lingxiao shouted angrily.
If Xie Zihan didn't leave, he was afraid that he would lose control and beat him up in front of everyone.
Seeing that Xie Lingxiao was angry, Xie Zihan had no choice but to order his men to lift the boxes and return to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.
After the farce ended, those who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony had no interest in staying any longer and said goodbye and left, including Xie Lingxiao.
Jiang Shaoying took Shen Jingxuan all the way back to Yuxuan Courtyard, looking at her with shining eyes.
"Axuan, why don't you like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He has such a noble status." Jiang Shaoying said.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "How about letting him go to your house to propose marriage?"
"No, that won't work. I don't like him. I want a partner who loves me." Jiang Shaoying said with a blushing face.
They are in love with each other, not just Jiang Shaoying. It is something that everyone in the world yearns for and it is something that can only be encountered by chance.
Shen Jingxuan joked: "Then you better keep your eyes open and be careful of being cheated."
Jiang Shaoying looked serious and nodded vigorously, saying, "Okay."
The two of them were chatting happily when they heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Shen Jingxuan looked up and saw Chuntao and Li Yong walking in together.
Chuntao grinned and laughed non-stop. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Yong took the initiative to say, "Miss, it seems that something happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Shen Jingxuan asked puzzledly: "What happened?"
What kind of thing could happen in such a huge Prime Minister's Mansion? Even if something did happen, they would not let outsiders know about it.
Chun Tao said happily, "Miss, the Prime Minister's residence was robbed."
Shen Jingxuan stood up suddenly: "It was stolen?"
Could it be that the Prime Minister's Mansion was robbed repeatedly? It had been half a month since I raided the Prime Minister's Mansion, why was it robbed again?
Thinking about how he had cleaned out the warehouse in the first place, the thief was probably going to make a wasted trip this time.
Li Yong said: "Yes, but they don't know when the theft occurred. I heard that the warehouse has not been opened for a long time."
"If the Prime Minister's Mansion hadn't prepared a betrothal gift for their eldest son today, I don't know when they would have discovered it."
Jiang Shaoying stood up excitedly: "Great, let Lu Jinxuan be arrogant, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become a pauper, will she be humble in the future?"
What she couldn't stand the most was Lu Jinxuan's behavior. She looked like she didn't care about anyone and it was annoying.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but secretly shook her head: "Ying'er, do you know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse? Don't underestimate the Prime Minister's Mansion."
How could a prime minister's mansion fall into decline just because the storehouse was stolen? Even if there was no money, the queen's casual rewards would be incomparable to others.
Jiang Shaoying stayed with Shen Jingxuan for a whole day, and only left reluctantly when it was gradually getting dark.
Shen Jingxuan lay on the couch and didn't want to move. After this day, she felt like she was about to fall apart from exhaustion.
She remembered what happened at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she flashed into the space. Just now she thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion had been robbed again, but she didn't expect that they just discovered it late.
Looking at the boxes piled up in the yard, Shen Jingxuan's eyes lit up. She almost forgot how rich she was. It was comparable to the national treasury.
She rubbed her hands and walked forward, checking each box one by one. The more she looked, the happier she felt.
After she finished looking at all the boxes, she started to feel a little worried. It was not a good idea to keep so many things here. It would be great if they could be turned into banknotes.
It seems that I need to find some time to ask Amo if he has any good ideas.
She came out of the space and lay on the couch, unconsciously thinking of Shen Xinglin. It seemed that she needed to think about the future.
After all, Lin'er is not a child anymore, and the huge Duke Zhenguo Mansion will still need Lin'er to take over.
