Chapter 348 Le Ji
Anyway, with such an outstanding young man like Pei Yu in front of them, it is hard for them to find anyone pleasing to the eye.
The Shen family's house was very lively in the evening. There were four tables seated, mostly with elders. Shen Li's cousins had all gone out to find jobs and only came home a few times a year.
By the time everyone left, the moon was already at its zenith. Shen Li stayed with them for a while before returning to her own yard. The key point was that there was nothing to talk about when she sat with those elders. They either urged her to get married or have children, and she didn't want to hear any of that.
In order to create a harmonious atmosphere, not to hurt the feelings between relatives, and even more so to avoid getting angry, I left decisively.
Later, some elderly people from the village, who had a good relationship with Shen Changshan, came to join in the fun.
Don't underestimate these old men and women, they can say anything. When Shen Li left, she heard them urging her sister-in-law to have a baby.
There were only two words in Shen Li's mind: outrageous. Oh my God, how could they say such things?
Everyone knew that Shen Jingyuan was in the army and not at home. At this time, his wife was pregnant. Isn't it obvious?
Shen Li wanted to turn around and say something, but she heard her sister-in-law say in a gentle tone: "I'm still young and there's no rush. Auntie, you're not that old either. If I give birth to a child now, I can still see you off to the end of your life. Don't you agree?"
The old lady knew she had said something wrong and smiled awkwardly without saying anything. After this incident, Shen Li left even faster.
……
Beijing, Prince of Yan's Palace
Half a month ago, Shen Jiaojiao was led by a nanny and entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion through the side door. She entered with her head lowered and looked towards the main door when she entered.
One day, Shen Jiaojiao will be able to enter and exit through the front door openly.
Since the last time he saw Xie Yunche on the boat, Xie Yunche hadn't visited her for a long time. The people around him were extremely anxious, but Shen Jiaojiao was not anxious at all.
Although Xie Yunche is a kind person, he is noble in his bones. He will never allow anyone to deceive him, not to mention that he is of low status. He was a refugee before and now he has drifted to a place of brothels.
With such an identity, he would of course think twice and investigate his whereabouts after he left him. After all, his identity was there and things were different now.
In the past half month, Shen Jiaojiao was detained in a small courtyard. She had a maid to serve her, so she didn't have to worry about food. However, she couldn't see Xie Yunche.
Sitting on the bed reading a book, I secretly told myself not to be impatient, otherwise all my efforts would be wasted.
Xie Yunche sat in the study, looking at a piece of paper in front of him, and asked the guard beside him: "Is this what she experienced during this period of time?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I checked it twice and came back only after I was sure it was correct."
Xie Yunche looked at what was written on the paper. After they separated, Shen Jiaojiao was captured and sold to a brothel. There was nothing strange about this.
What surprised him was that Shen Jiaojiao was still a virgin and had never even received a customer.
is it possible?
Even if she was a musician who sold her art but not her body, it was impossible for her to not accept a single customer for two years. This was not normal.
What's more, it said that Shen Jiaojiao was sold to a brothel, so what was written on the paper seemed even more unbelievable.
Unless someone is secretly protecting her and wants to use her to achieve some purpose?
Xie Yunche looked at the contents on the paper and fell into deep thought. So, what was the purpose of putting this person next to him now?
He didn't think so much before, but since he went out to explore the world last time, he has become more thoughtful and considerate before doing things.
If it had been in the past, he would have brought the person into the mansion without any investigation. If there was a problem, wouldn't he have buried a thorn in his own hand?
"Your Majesty, Miss Cousin is here to see you."
Xie Yunche placed the paper in his hand on the candle and lit it. Cousin? What were they doing? Her face was injured, why didn't she stay at home and take care of herself? Why did she come to his house every day?
"please come in."
"cousin!"
Li Qianru was wearing a pink dress and her face was covered with a scarf, and you could see that one part of her face was covered with gauze.
Xie Yunche felt a headache as soon as he saw her, "Cousin, don't move there, don't come over."
Li Qianru stopped and looked at him aggrievedly, "Cousin, have you found the person I asked you to find?"
Xie Yunche: "No, are you sure that person is from Beijing?"
Li Qianru nodded: "That should be it!"
should?
"Are you sure the picture you drew looks exactly like him?"
"Yeah, sure, I will never forget him even when I die!"
Xie Yunche's mouth twitched, "Okay, cousin, we're still looking for this person. You're not even sure if he's from the capital, so it won't be that quick to find him."
In fact, he really wanted to quit the job, but his cousin cried in front of him that day and showed the scar on his face. She was so pitiful that he couldn't help but help her.
I regret it so much now. I really brought trouble upon myself!
Besides, what he heard from He Xinyi was completely different from what his cousin said. If it wasn't for his mother's sake, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.
"Cousin, I heard that there is a musician in your house. Ask her to sing a couple of songs."
Xie Yunche wanted to refuse at first, but when he remembered that there was something wrong with Shen Jiaojiao, he nodded in agreement.
"Someone, bring Miss Shen to the banquet hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Qianru smiled. It seemed that her cousin still cared about her. She didn't know whether she could still marry her cousin now.
Thinking of this, he reached out and touched his cheek. Through the face towel and gauze, he seemed to be able to feel the hideous wound on his face.
His eyes instantly turned cold. It was all that bitch's fault. If it weren't for him, his face wouldn't be like this.
Xie Yunche turned around and saw the coldness in Li Qianru's eyes that had not yet been retracted, and he shuddered instantly.
This cousin seems to have changed since she got her face injured. She wasn't like this before. Or did she hide it well before and no one noticed, but now she's just giving up?
I guess so. Judging from her appearance, the change has not happened overnight.
Xie Yunche didn't quite understand why she, a young lady in the boudoir, would think about these things?
When Shen Jiaojiao heard Xie Yunche calling her over, she was secretly delighted. Has the opportunity she has been waiting for finally come?
She quickly dressed up and changed into an outfit that was neither outstanding nor mediocre. The waistline of the outfit was higher than other clothes, which made her waist look thinner and her legs longer, and improved her overall proportions a lot.
She casually drew her eyebrows, put on some lip balm, and hurried to the banquet hall. The prince had summoned her, so she didn't dare delay too long.
"Your Majesty."
He walked in with his head lowered, and bowed towards the position above him with generous manners and graceful posture. When he raised his head slightly, Li Qianru saw his face, and she instantly felt jealous.
