Chapter 173 Revealing True Nature
Shen Jingxuan turned around and looked at Xie Lingxiao, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised.
Didn't you say that I couldn't be with her? Why did you come to look for her now?
Xie Shiyin turned around timidly and called out "Uncle Emperor" weakly.
Xie Lingxiao ignored her and came to Shen Jingxuan's side: "Tell me, how do you want to deal with her?"
He was really surprised that an unmarried princess would say such impolite words in front of everyone.
I didn't expect that Xie Shiyin, who looks weak, has such a vicious mind.
Xie Shiyin lowered her head, constantly thinking about how to answer.
At this moment, her frightened brain had already stopped working, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't come up with an answer.
Lu Jinxuan finally saw the person she had been thinking about day and night, and she stared at Xie Lingxiao without blinking.
After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Your Majesty, the princess was just joking with Miss Shen, you can't take it seriously."
With a gentle voice and generous manners, she showed what she thought was her best side to the fullest.
Just to let the person buried deep in her heart see her best side.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Xie Shiyin without blinking, but answered Lu Jinxuan's question: "I didn't ask you."
"Fifth Princess, you answer this king."
Lu Jinxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao with a pale face and could no longer speak.
Xie Shiyin's body, which had relaxed slightly after hearing Lu Jinxuan's words, began to tremble again.
"Your Majesty, Uncle, I was just joking with Miss Shen." Xie Shiyin replied.
Are you kidding? Do you think he is a child?
Xie Lingxiao said coldly: "Oh, Fifth Princess, do you think that I am a fool? I can let you deceive me."
"In that case, I will go find the emperor and see what he says."
Xie Lingxiao did not stay any longer, but turned around and left.
Xie Shiyin was terrified and anxious. If her father knew what she had done, he would definitely not let her off easily.
She hurried forward and followed Xie Lingxiao's footsteps: "Uncle, I was wrong, please give me another chance."
Xie Lingxiao pretended not to hear anything, quickened his pace, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jiang Shaoying and Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief secretly. Not to mention Xie Shiyin, they were almost scared to death by Xie Lingxiao just now.
As the rumors on the street said, the Regent was so ferocious that even with a smile on his face he could scare a three-year-old child to tears.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the two of them and couldn't help but find it funny.
He is so handsome and powerful, so how come he scares them so much that they have difficulty breathing?
Jiang Shaoying pulled Shen Jingxuan away quickly: "Ah Xuan, let's go quickly, stay away from here."
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly." Chen Yi responded.
Shen Jingxuan looked at them suspiciously: "Where are you going? What are you afraid of? Aren't you all gone?"
I haven't seen Xie Lingxiao for a long time, so why is he leaving in such a hurry?
"What if he comes back in a while? Yier, hurry up." Jiang Shaoying urged.
Chen Yi ignored the etiquette she had observed for more than ten years, temporarily forgot about the lotus steps, and followed with big strides.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes suddenly widened. She and Chen Yi had met many times, but this was the first time she saw her lose her composure like this.
She looked at Jiang Shaoying in shock, and always felt that if Chen Yi stayed with her for too long, she would be infected by her temperament.
Thinking of Chen Yi's temper, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but joked: "Yier, you lost the Lotus Steps Light Move. Does your mother agree to go back to the mansion?"
When Chen Yi heard Shen Jingxuan's words, she suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Jingxuan in surprise.
Is this the time to consider etiquette? Her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she just wanted to get away from there.
Does it matter whether the lotus steps are light or not? Saving your life is more important.
"Pfft..." Jiang Shaoying stopped and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Xuan'er, please stop making a fuss, okay? This isn't the first time Yi'er has done this."
When else? Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that she had missed many important things without realizing it.
Shen Jingxuan asked: "When did this happen?"
"I don't know how many times I ran away just because I was scared by the fat guy." Jiang Shaoying said with a smile.
Sure enough, being with Jiang Shaoying definitely led Chen Yi astray.
The person who used to stick to etiquette and rules no matter what happened, after spending a long time with Jiang Shaoying, actually let go of the rules and did what he wanted.
Shen Jingxuan glared at Jiang Shaoying and said, "I must have been with you for too long. Yi'er has been led astray by you."
Etiquette and rules are so important to women like them. If her family knew about this, they would definitely not let Chen Yi be so comfortable.
"It's not me. She was frightened by the fat guy and she let herself go."
This cannot be blamed on her. She is just being casual and cannot influence others.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Why? Tell me."
It seems inappropriate that she is the only one who doesn't know about such a big thing.
"Pfft..." Jiang Shaoying started laughing to herself before she could finish her words.
Chen Yi glared at her: "Still laughing? Do you think it's appropriate for you to laugh in front of me every time?"
Since she couldn't pretend anymore, Chen Yi simply stopped pretending and just went with the flow.
At first Shen Jingxuan was puzzled as to how Jiang Shaoying, who was careless and eccentric, could be friends with Chen Yi, who was polite and docile.
This really opened her eyes. She didn't expect that Chen Yi was just pretending.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Chen Yi in shock: "Yier?"
Hearing Shen Jingxuan's voice, Chen Yi instantly returned to her original appearance: "A Xuan, call me."
Chen Yi lowered her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the shoes, her cheeks slightly red, and she was very shy.
Shen Jingxuan sneered and said, "Oh, I didn't know that our Yi'er had such a talent. It really impressed me."
"Axuan, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Chen Yi murmured in a low voice.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at her: "Okay, let me see the real you."
It's already this time and you're still pretending with her. It's not like she didn't see it just now.
As soon as Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, Chen Yi rushed over, put her arms around Shen Jingxuan's neck, and smiled: "Ah Xuan, I knew you wouldn't blame me."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Shaoying stood nearby, bent over with laughter.
When she had laughed enough, she pulled down Chen Yi who was hanging on Shen Jingxuan's neck: "Yier, you scared Axuan."
"Really? I think she is very happy." Chen Yi replied.
She had just clearly seen that in Shen Jingxuan's eyes there was not only shock but also joy.
She must be happy for herself, right? She is freer from the constraints of rules and etiquette.
Jiang Shaoying said proudly: "Ah Xuan, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
If Chen Yi was a weak woman, how could she be with her all day long? Even if Chen Yi didn't mind, she would still feel uncomfortable.
Shen Jingxuan gently rubbed her forehead: "After all this fuss, you two kept it a secret from me?"
How can I not be surprised and shocked?
Shen Jingxuan still remembers that when she first met Xie Shiyin on the street, Chen Yi rushed to help her out, but ended up with her eyes slightly red after hearing a few words from Xie Shiyin.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, Shen Jingxuan would have thought that Chen Yi was possessed by a ghost today.
Chen Yi took Shen Jingxuan's arm and said, "It's not that I'm hiding this from you on purpose, but the first impression was so good, it would be a pity not to keep it."
What I said was that I stepped forward to protect her, but in the end I was protected by her.
Shen Jingxuan really couldn't figure out what the "good" in Chen Yi's words meant.
The three of them were laughing and joking and didn't notice that behind them, Xie Zihan was quietly approaching them.
