Chapter 336 Listening to the book
Shen Yiyi lay on the railing, listening to the storyteller below with a smile on her face. It had been a long time since she had come to listen to a story, and this sounded quite interesting.
Especially when she talked about funny things, she laughed like everyone else, which made Shang Zhanchen glare at her with displeasure.
"..."
A heartless woman!
After making me angry, she acted as if nothing had happened and didn't say anything nice to me. She just smiled like a fool. It really made me angry just looking at her.
It was as if Shen Yiyi had a bad memory and completely forgot what happened just now. She followed everyone else, listening to a book and eating melon seeds.
From time to time, she would pull Shang Zhanchen aside to discuss the plot. Although Shang Zhanchen was too lazy to pay attention to her, he still talked to her reluctantly.
He had to admit that he quite liked this woman's heartless appearance.
It was already late when we left, and by the time we finished listening to the book, it was already time for dinner.
"How about I treat you to dinner?" Shen Yiyi looked at Shang Zhanchen, Jiang Zuo and others.
Although her stomach was full, General Zhan and the young general didn't eat anything this afternoon.
Even though she didn't help him get out of the marriage, she still helped her, so it was only right for her to treat him to a meal.
Thinking of the roadside stalls that Jiang Zuo and Jiang You talked about, Shang Zhanchen shook his head.
"No, I have something else to do. Let me take you back first."
He didn't want to sit on the street and eat with this woman; the thought of it was unbearable.
"Okay, there'll be a chance later." Shen Yiyi didn't force it.
After all, he is a general and he just came back. He must want to reunite with his family. So let's wait for the opportunity in the future and invite him to dinner.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley and Shen Yiyi jumped off.
"Then I'll go back first. We'll see each other again if we have the chance." She waved at the man.
Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and hooked his finger at Jiang Zuo.
"Xiao Jiang, come here."
"Huh?" Jiang Zuo was stunned.
He quickly jumped off the carriage and ran over happily.
"Miss, do you have anything else to do?"
Shen Yiyi glanced at Shang Zhanchen and the others furtively, and then quietly took out five silver notes worth one hundred taels from her bosom.
"Take this money and buy some things for yourself. If you are not used to eating at General Zhan's, go out and eat something that tastes good.
This is all the money I have on me. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more later. Eat whatever you want. Don’t be reluctant to spend the money.
Although I have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, I will not ignore you. When I leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, I will take you with me and we will go together."
Shen Yiyi stuffed the banknote into Jiang Zuo's hand. Now she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion and couldn't take Xiao Jiang back.
But I can't just ignore him. I have to let him stay with General Zhan for a while, and then take him with me when I leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.
Looking at the banknotes that the Crown Princess stuffed into his hand, Jiang Zuo's eyes turned red.
"Miss, I have money."
The eldest lady really treated him as her own family, but I lied to her, and I feel extremely guilty now.
"How much can you have? Take these first. I'll give you more if it's not enough." Shen Yiyi stuffed the money into her hands.
All the gold that was obtained from Baihu Mountain is now with me. How could he have so much money in his hands?
"Don't worry, when I have solved the problem here, I will definitely take you with me when I leave."
Shen Yiyi looked at Jiang Zuo. Even though he seemed to be doing fine now, who would like to stay with him?
He probably didn't tell me because he was afraid that I would worry. Once he got the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus, he would take Xiao Jiang and leave here.
If I could take him back to Tianling Country, then I would take him with me, since he has no relatives here anyway.
"Yeah." Jiang Zuo nodded, trying his best to control his choking emotions.
He felt even more guilty. He and his master had colluded with each other to deceive the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess was only thinking about him. He was such a inhuman being.
When she saw Xiao Jiang's red eyes, Shen Yiyi became more certain that he was not happy living with General Zhan.
"Just bear with me for a while. When I find the Nine-Leaf Hollow Lotus, we'll go!"
"Yeah." Jiang Zuo nodded again with sobs.
"Then I'll go back first."
"Okay." Jiang Zuo nodded again.
I watched the Crown Princess enter the Prime Minister's Mansion and then get on the carriage.
"Master, why don't we stop lying to the Crown Princess and just tell her the truth." He looked at Shang Zhanchen who had a gloomy face.
She wiped away another tear. The Crown Princess was such a good person, but she was deceived by them. She felt really guilty.
Every time the Crown Princess cared about him, he felt like he was not a human being, and he didn't want to lie to the Crown Princess anymore.
“…” Shang Zhanchen had a gloomy face and stared at Jiang Zuo with dissatisfaction.
He couldn't stand it anymore, he couldn't stand it anymore, he wished he could bring that woman into the house right now.
But if one were to tell the truth about a woman's temper, there would be no doubt that she would run away from home again.
Seeing that his master didn't say anything, Jiang Zuo wanted to say something else but was stopped by Jiang You.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here. Do you think the master is willing to lie?" Jiang You glared at Jiang Zuo.
He knew what his master was thinking, but wasn't there no other way under the current circumstances?
“……” Jiang Zuo didn’t say anything.
But he was extremely depressed in his heart. However, he really didn't want to lie to the Crown Princess anymore. He felt very guilty.
Shen Yiyi was completely unaware of all this and skipped back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not long after she returned, the servant who had been following her ran to Wan's yard.
"Madam, the eldest lady went to the academy this afternoon..."
He told Mrs. Wan what he had seen in the academy. When she heard that Shen Yiyi had been alone with a masked man for an entire afternoon, she was secretly delighted.
"..."
That damn girl actually dared to meet a man in secret. I've been searching for her everywhere and I'm worried that I can't find a good way to deal with her.
She actually came to me on her own initiative. As the Crown Princess, she dared to meet a stranger in secret. If this matter were to be exposed, the master would definitely not let her off easily.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the servant again.
"Keep an eye on the young lady, you will definitely benefit from it."
Shen Yiyi had no idea about this. Not long after she returned to the yard, Qingzhi brought back the dishes and chopsticks.
Looking at the six dishes and one soup on the table, the corners of his mouth curled up with satisfaction.
"..."
It must be said that the prince should have done something good if he hadn't sent anyone over.
The food can't be that good. I'm not a conscienceless person. I still have to remember some good things.
When I meet him in the future, I will have to thank him no matter what, but when I think about my marriage with him, I feel depressed again.
I didn't expect that he was already a married woman. The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I could only turn my upset into appetite and started eating with big mouthfuls.
After dinner, she took a comfortable hot bath, which made her hum with pleasure. Then, she put on her thin pajamas and got into the silk quilt.
This feeling, Emma! I wouldn't trade it for anything, it's so comfortable!
