Chapter 267 Regret
Shen Jingxuan didn't know why the Queen asked her to attend the palace banquet, but she had a hunch that it wouldn't be a good thing.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why the queen asked her to go.
Ever since Xie Zihan got married, the Queen hurried to the Prime Minister's Residence to look for Lu Zhong, and the two of them seemed to have suddenly settled down.
Now they are more like dormant hungry wolves, ready to pounce at any time and bite off a piece of flesh and blood from the other side.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure out the reason, so she didn't take it to heart.
She handed the card to Chuntao and went to the Shangshu Mansion with Jiang Shaoying and Lu Changfan.
When the doorman learned the purpose of their visit, he turned around and ran into the mansion. In a short while, Chen Yi arrived at the gate.
"Ah Xuan... Ying'er..."
Before she could reach the two of them, she suddenly saw Lu Changfan behind them.
Their eyes met, and Lu Changfan looked at Chen Yi, with a smile on his face: "Yier, long time no see."
They had indeed not seen each other for a long time, but when they met again at this moment, Chen Yi felt as if it was a lifetime ago.
She looked Lu Changfan up and down, seeing his distinct facial features due to his thin body, and his loose clothes due to his thin body... ...
Looking at the much thinner person in front of him, Chen Yi suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart and a slight pain.
On the day when Lu Changfan confessed his feelings to her, she just casually said that she would agree to be with him once he lost weight.
But she never expected that Lu Changfan took her casual joke seriously.
After not seeing each other for several months, Chen Yi thought he had given up long ago. But when she saw his smile, her eyes felt hot and she couldn't help wanting to cry.
Shen Jingxuan watched the two people staring at each other without saying a word, so she had to interrupt them.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go to Zuiyue Tower."
Chen Yi blinked hard, holding back the tears that were about to overflow: "Okay."
This is in front of the government office. Although there are not as many pedestrians coming and going as on the main street, there are still quite a few.
If she, a girl, was caught staring at men, her reputation would be ruined.
In the private room of Zuiyue Tower, Shen Jingxuan and Jiang Shaoying sat by the window, watching the passers-by on the street and listening to the hawkers' cries.
Jiang Shaoying was absent-minded, occasionally turning around to look at the two people talking in the distance.
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Are you so curious about what they said?"
"Axuan, aren't you curious?" Jiang Shaoying asked.
If it were in the past, she would not be curious about these things, but now it is different.
She was curious about how long Chen Yi would be angry, and whether she would ignore their original agreement because of Lu Changfan's deception.
I am even more curious about how Lu Changfan will coax Chen Yi since he knows that she will be angry.
Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "The answer is right in front of you, why are you curious?"
Wasn't it obvious what the two people were doing in front of the Shangshu Mansion? They were clearly in love.
Although they were talking now, Lu Changfan was just telling Chen Yi about what had happened during this period and why he had not met her.
Once the misunderstandings in their hearts are resolved, their relationship will be better than before.
Half an hour later, Chen Yi and Lu Changfan sat next to Shen Jingxuan one after another.
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Have you made everything clear?"
Lu Changfan looked at Chen Yi and saw that her face was slightly red and she lowered her head shyly, and he felt even happier.
"Yeah." He responded with a smile.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at him lightly, and seeing his silly smile, she knew that Chen Yi must be fulfilling her promise, just as he wished.
Jiang Shaoying's gaze wandered over the two of them without any reservation, her eyes revealing an expression of wanting to find out their secrets.
After the steward had served the food and the group of four had finished their meal, they left one after another.
Shen Jingxuan and Chuntao were strolling on the street, and occasionally when they saw something they liked, they would buy it.
As it grew darker, the two men walked towards the direction of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
As they turned the corner, they saw a crowd of people gathered in front of them.
Chun Tao's eyes lit up slightly, and she pulled Shen Jingxuan into the crowd.
As soon as the two squeezed into the crowd, they saw a woman rushing towards them.
Shen Jingxuan hurriedly grabbed Chuntao and pulled her to her side. The woman lost her balance and fell to the ground with a bang.
The moment she looked up blankly, Chuntao opened her mouth in shock and pointed at the woman: "She..."
The woman was none other than the familiar Shen Jingyue.
When Shen Jingyue saw Shen Jingxuan, for some reason, her nose felt sore and tears suddenly rolled down.
She quickly crawled to Shen Jingxuan and grabbed her skirt: "Big sister, please save me, save me."
She was wrong, she knew it and she regretted it.
Every time she was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, she regretted her decision.
Shen Jingxuan noticed that her clothes were a little messy, and her exposed wrists still had bruises of varying shades.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Jingyue looked around in panic and saw that there were people surrounding her, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Big sister, Yang Yi has a bad habit. He beats me up when he's not satisfied with me. I'm almost tortured to death."
"Big sister, can you please save me? I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Shen Jingyue sat on the ground and kept crying, talking about her current situation and how much she regretted it.
But after listening to all this, Shen Jingxuan not only did not have a trace of sympathy, but also had no intention of helping her.
If she hadn't taken the initiative to provoke, if she hadn't conspired with Lu Jinxuan to capture her mother and Lin'er, how could she be in her current situation?
Everything that happened to her was just the result of her own actions.
If I had been careless at the beginning, I might not have been able to hold on until Xie Lingxiao arrived.
Maybe she would not only fail to save her mother and brother, but even her own life would be in danger.
She did not take the initiative to cause trouble for Shen Jingyue, which was a great mercy.
At this time, her enemy was heartbroken and regretful, and wanted to let the past go and asked her to save him.
How could Shen Jingyue have such a big face?
Shen Jingxuan said calmly: "Did you sneak out?"
"I... ..."
Shen Jingyue was startled by the commotion behind her before she could finish her words.
She turned around suddenly and saw Yang Yi and his men walking slowly towards her.
"No, big sister, please save me."
Shen Jingyue turned around in panic, trying to hug Shen Jingxuan's legs and beg her to save her.
Noticing her actions, Shen Jingxuan took several steps back, and Shen Jingyue's attack was empty.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Yi came to her, looking at Shen Jingyue lovingly and gently: "Yuer, I'm here to take you back home."
"No, I don't want to go back." Shen Jingyue kept struggling.
Yang Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he coaxed her softly, "I know I was wrong, Yue'er, come back with me, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Shen Jingyue looked desperate when she heard his words.
Every time Yang Yi vented his anger on her, if he was a little dissatisfied, he would punch and kick her, and even torture her in shameful ways.
Even if she cried and begged for mercy, he would not let her go easily, but became more excited.
She didn't believe Yang Yi because he always did the same thing after every incident.
Shen Jingxuan watched everything indifferently.
You choose your own path and you walk it yourself, but Shen Jingyue is the kind of person who won't turn back until she hits a wall.
But what if she wanted to turn back now? She needed someone to allow her to turn back.
