Chapter 123 Shen Yanxi seems a little... unethical
"Isn't it?" Jiang Suining asked back with a smile, with just the right amount of teasing in his tone.
Although Jingyue interrupted Shen Yanxi's words just now, she heard clearly that Shen Yanxi said the two words "Wei Cong".
He came here today, probably because of Wei Congze.
Perhaps Shen Yanxi learned about the marriage proposal from Wei Congze and was unhappy, so he had that expression when he came.
As for coming to find me, it was probably because he knew that I and Jingyue had always been in contact and had a good relationship, so he wanted to get some information from me.
But before he could even ask the question, Jingyue came. From Jingyue's expression, Shen Yanxi could definitely tell that she was unwilling to get married, so she was in such a good mood at the moment.
Jiang Suining's understanding look made Shen Yanxi choke.
He could probably figure out why Jiang Suining had misunderstood, but...
"Are you so happy that Miss Jiang thinks I like Princess Chu?" Shen Yanxi couldn't help but speak.
Jiang Suining was stunned by the question, "Does Mr. Shen still want me to be unhappy?"
Without waiting for Shen Yanxi to answer, Jiang Suining smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. If you need anything, I can say a few good words for you in front of Jingyue."
The results will be announced soon, and Shen Yanxi will be the top scorer in the imperial examination and enter the court. From then on, he will be far ahead of others and rise rapidly.
It’s just that in his previous life, when Shen Yanxi was appointed as the prime minister, he seemed to have not yet married. Come to think of it, could it be because... he has always had his heart set on Jingyue, but has not been able to marry her?
Jiang Suining's eyes lit up, and he felt more and more that this was possible.
It’s just…even though Shen Yanxi is really good, Jingyue still needs to be willing.
Shen Yanxi was already choking, and when he heard Jiang Suining's good words in his defense, he felt even worse.
"Miss Jiang, you misunderstood. Princess Chu and I have never had any contact, let alone any affection."
Shen Yanxi's tone was serious and his eyes were solemn. Jiang Suining was stunned. Was he overthinking? Or was Shen Yanxi too embarrassed to admit it?
Although the other party later had a successful career, he was only seventeen years old after all. It was normal for him to be unwilling to admit it when his thoughts were revealed.
Thinking of this, Jiang Suining smiled apologetically, "I was rude and abrupt just now. I hope you won't blame me for my inappropriate words. Mr. Shen, don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense in front of others."
Shen Yanxi frowned and looked at Jiang Suining. What did he mean by not talking nonsense in front of others? That was not the case at all!
"Miss Jiang, I'll say it again, I really don't like Princess Chu, and I have someone else in my heart."
Shen Yanxi looked straight into Jiang Suining's eyes, and the words "the person I love is you" were on the tip of his tongue. Just as he was about to blurt out the words, a figure appeared on the street to the left of Ning Mozhai, followed by a wailing voice with a tearful tone.
"Master, I am here to see you!"
Yuan Liang ran over with red eyes and a look of grievance. It looked like he was about to hug his master's legs and burst into tears in the next second.
"Why do you look like this?" Shen Yanxi frowned.
"Master, Xiao Cui said that she didn't like me from the beginning to the end. She doesn't like me!" Yuan Liang wailed.
"Speak more quietly." Shen Yanxi said helplessly.
That Xiao Cui is going to marry her cousin, so isn't it obvious that she doesn't like Yuan Liang?
"Master, Xiao Cui also said that the boots were just to thank me for taking care of her, and it had no other meaning." Yuan Liang had a bitter face. It was a pity that he was reluctant to wear them and wanted to keep them as a token of love.
"Okay, don't be sad." Shen Yanxi comforted dryly.
"Master, Xiao Cui has just left with her cousin. They are going back to get married. My sweetheart."
Hearing the young master being called all the time, Shen Yanxi raised his hand and rubbed his brows, feeling helpless.
However, just as he was about to continue comforting her, Yuanliang spoke again.
"Master, I am as pitiful as you are now. Our sweethearts are getting married. What's that sentence in the book? That's right, we are both wanderers in this world!"
"My sweetheart is getting married?" Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi suspiciously.
Didn’t the other party just deny it repeatedly and say that he didn’t like Jingyue?
However, judging from the way Shen Yanxi emphasized it the second time just now, it didn't seem like he was lying because he was embarrassed.
Shen Yanxi glanced at Jiang Suining, coughed lightly, and said to Yuan Liang: "That's not the case. You are the only one. After all, my sweetheart is not going to marry anyone else."
"What? No?" Yuan Liang was stunned and turned to look at Jiang Suining, "Could it be..."
"Shut up!" Shen Yanxi quickly interrupted his servant.
Meeting Jiang Suining's puzzled look, Shen Yanxi secretly shook his head at Yuan Liang.
"Stop talking nonsense in front of Miss Jiang and just go about your business."
But Yuan Liang did not receive the signal from his young master. "Young master, I have nothing to do. Besides, didn't you say before..."
"Who said there's nothing left?" Shen Yanxi quickly interrupted Yuan Liang again, "Well... go give Xiao Cui a gift. After all, she's getting married soon, so don't be stingy."
Yuan Liang: “…”
This is too much! Sending him a gift, isn't this rubbing salt into his wounds?
Feeling Yuan Liang's resentful gaze, Shen Yanxi finally realized that what he had just said seemed inappropriate.
But I have already said it, and it is not easy to change my words. After all, Jiang Suining is still watching.
Shen Yanxi thought about it and added to Yuan Liang, "How about... I pay for it? At least you won't lose both your money and your life."
Yuan Liang: “…”
The young master has changed! The young master never hurt him so much before.
Jiang Suining looked at the master and servant in front of her. Although she clearly felt that something was wrong, what surprised her even more at this moment was Shen Yanxi.
I originally thought that he was a mature young man, but seeing how he interacted with the servant, he seemed very casual, even a little lively, but his liveliness seemed... a little immoral.
"Mr. Shen, your servant is about to cry." Jiang Suining couldn't help but remind him.
"It's okay. He cries a lot."
Yuan Liang: “???”
"What I mean is that his mood changes quickly. Just give him some words of comfort later. Also, when he gets emotional, he likes to talk nonsense. Miss Jiang, please don't take it seriously."
Although he almost wanted to express his feelings just now, the atmosphere was completely ruined after Yuan Liang's commotion, and now was no longer a good time to speak.
And he couldn't let Yuanliang just shout out his feelings like that, so he had better prepare himself well and choose another opportunity to avoid appearing to be negligent.
Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows slightly, with suspicion in his eyes.
There was something really wrong with Shen Yanxi today.
The question was on the tip of his tongue, but Jiang Suining didn't ask it in the end. He changed his mind and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, I misunderstood what happened just now. I'm sorry. But there is one thing I would like to trouble you with."
