Chapter 195 Not Popular
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingyue who was rushing over and pulled Shen Jingxuan to his side.
Ling Feng took a step forward and kicked Shen Jingyue out.
"Bang..."
Shen Jingyue lay on the ground and looked up at Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan.
The two people in her sight seemed to be shaking in front of her eyes. After a while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
Yang Yi ignored Shen Jingyue who had fainted. At this moment, he was just waiting for Shen Jingxuan to continue telling him what had just happened.
Shen Jingxuan secretly found it funny that Yang Yi was determined to achieve his goal.
"Mr. Yang, I just want to tell you that Shen Jingyue has someone she likes, and she has liked him for a long time."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Yang Yi meaningfully, then pulled Xie Lingxiao out.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan about to walk out of the room, Yang Yi hurriedly caught up with her.
"Miss Shen, do you know who he is?" Yang Yi asked.
He could dislike Shen Jingyue or just treat her as a plaything.
But even if she was just a plaything, Yang Yi would not allow her to have any other thoughts, not even mental infidelity.
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Yang, there are some things that you don't need to know so clearly. Knowing them will make you more uncomfortable, right?"
"Instead of worrying about who that person is, it's better to find a way to trap the person who is disloyal to you, so as to avoid a lot of trouble in the future."
After saying this, Shen Jingxuan did not stay and left Zuiyue Tower with Xie Lingxiao.
Shen Jingyue thought that the matter was over after just being kicked?
Thinking of Yang Yi’s expression just now, she wondered if today would be the beginning of Shen Jingyue’s nightmare.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao got on the carriage together, and the carriage headed all the way to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan in his arms and asked about what happened today.
"Did your brother go to take the exam later?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
I am so weak that I probably can't go. I've wasted an opportunity.
If you miss it this time, you will have to wait three years later.
Shen Jingxuan saw what he was thinking and smiled smugly: "I went there, and arrived just in time to enter the examination room."
Xie Lingxiao was a little shocked. He didn't expect Shen Xinglin to be so persistent.
"I underestimated him."
Shen Jingxuan snorted softly: "Lin'er works very hard and will definitely not give up easily."
As they were talking, the carriage arrived in front of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Shen Jingxuan jumped off the carriage.
To her surprise, Xie Lingxiao also got off the carriage.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Why did you come down?"
In broad daylight, if he doesn't go back home, does he have to come in openly?
Xie Lingxiao seemed not to see her thoughts and walked towards the mansion gate: "Today I will meet Mr. Shen."
Originally, as soon as the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Xie Lingxiao wanted to meet with Mr. Shen to discuss their marriage.
I was also worried that I was being too hasty and would arouse the emperor's suspicion, so I kept delaying it until now.
Now that the wedding date has been set and the delay has been long enough, it is time to tell the truth to Mr. Shen.
This was to prevent Mr. Shen from thinking that he did not attach enough importance to their marriage, and to prevent Mr. Shen from feeling uneasy about marrying Shen Jingxuan to him.
Shen Jingxuan hurriedly caught up with him, and the two of them came to Mr. Shen’s Fufeng Courtyard together.
Upon learning that Xie Lingxiao had entered the mansion, Mr. Shen looked surprised.
But considering his status, he didn't dare to delay and had to take Madam Shen to greet him.
As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan standing outside the yard.
Shen Jingxuan saw Old Madam Shen's eyes light up: "Grandma, I'm back."
She strode towards Old Madam Shen.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen bowed to Xie Lingxiao: "Greetings..."
Without waiting for the two to finish, Xie Lingxiao stepped forward and helped them up: "Grandpa and grandma, there's no need to be polite. We are all family."
When Shen Jingxuan heard Xie Lingxiao calling Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen grandpa and grandma, her face slowly turned red.
Mr. Shen's expression turned visibly ugly. If possible, he didn't want to be a family with Xie Lingxiao.
The imperial decree for the marriage had been issued a long time ago, but he had never visited the family, which clearly showed that he did not care about his granddaughter.
Madam Shen looked at Xie Lingxiao with a bad expression: "You haven't gotten married yet, so don't rush to change your mind."
As long as you haven't gotten married, there are many variables.
Shen Jingxuan is their only granddaughter. She doesn't want Shen Jingxuan to marry into a wealthy family and live an unhappy and uncomfortable life in the future.
What's more, he didn't want her to marry a man who didn't care about her, causing her to worry and be trapped in life.
Shen Jingxuan saw that her grandparents were deliberately making things difficult for her. Instead of explaining for Xie Lingxiao, she looked like she was just watching the fun.
Although Mr. Shen was dissatisfied, due to his status, he still took Xie Lingxiao to the side hall.
Old Madam Shen held Shen Jingxuan's hand and followed behind the two of them.
Xie Lingxiao noticed the two elders' displeasure and did not explain immediately.
He thought Shen Jingxuan would say a few good words for him, but he found that he looked like he was waiting to see a show. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly, but he couldn't do anything about her.
In the side hall of Fufeng Courtyard, Mr. Shen and Xie Lingxiao sat opposite each other.
Madam Shen and Shen Jingxuan sat next to Grandpa Shen, making Xie Lingxiao seem isolated.
He sat alone opposite the three of them, enduring the dissatisfied looks of the two elders.
The room was so quiet for a moment that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, Xie Lingxiao's voice broke the silence: "Grandfather and grandmother, it's not that I don't want to visit you, it's just that it's inconvenient for many reasons."
Now Mr. Shen no longer avoided the issue and said bluntly, "What reason is more important than your lifelong event with Xuan'er? I think you just don't care about Xuan'er."
"If you really care about her, you'll put her first, no matter what the reason is."
Mr. Shen’s words left Xie Lingxiao speechless, and he also reflected deeply on himself.
Thinking about his original decision, Xie Lingxiao even felt that since some time ago, he seemed to have become cautious about anything related to Shen Jingxuan.
"Grandfather, I was inconsiderate enough." Xie Lingxiao took the initiative to admit his mistake.
In the past, I was always worried that if I was too nice to Shen Jingxuan in front of outsiders, the emperor would become suspicious and someone with ulterior motives would plot against me.
But he didn't think about whether this was what Shen Jingxuan wanted and whether it was fair to her.
Mr. Shen's expression eased: "Tell me what the reason is?"
Seeing Xie Lingxiao admit his mistake on his own initiative, Mr. Shen no longer cared. After all, Xie Lingxiao's status was there, and he couldn't make things too difficult for him.
Xie Lingxiao raised his hand and pointed upwards: "I'm worried about Xuan'er's safety."
Some things cannot be said directly even in a safe place, so Xie Lingxiao had to tell Mr. Shen in a vague way.
Mr. Shen instantly understood Xie Lingxiao's thoughts and intentions.
"Well, but maybe some of your arrangements are not what Xuan'er wants." Mr. Shen said.
Xie Lingxiao suddenly looked at Shen Jingxuan, wanting to know what she was thinking.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jingxuan was chatting with Old Madam Shen and didn't even look at him.
