[Quick Wear] On strike, please don't disturb your ex

Chapter 157 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (27)

Shen Fanli heard the news half a month later.

It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Qi is going to marry the daughter of the Grand Tutor.

Shen Fanli didn't hear this from other people.

She heard Song Liaoye say this in person when she was on her way to deliver lotus cake to him.

There were two people guarding outside the study. When they saw Miss Shen coming, they let her in.

Prince Qi had instructed that as long as he was not talking to other adults, no one was allowed to stop Miss Shen when they saw her and they should let her in directly.

This has always been the rule in Prince Qi’s Palace.

As soon as Shen Fanli arrived at the door, he heard voices coming from inside.

"...Your Majesty, what about Miss Shen? After March, it will be impossible to hide it."

Hearing this, Shen Fanli stopped.

She was a little confused. What was Commander Gao talking about and why did he hide it from her?

Just when Shen Fanli thought Song Liaoye would not answer and she was about to step forward, the person inside spoke.

The voice was not very clear, but Shen Fanli was too familiar with Song Liaoye's voice.

As soon as he spoke, she knew.

"Three months later, before I marry the one from Pei Mansion, no, just a few days later, you take her to the courtyard in the suburbs. That place was originally built for her. She will definitely like it. When things are settled, I will explain it to her and she will understand..."

Gao Yu was speechless for a moment.

From the prince's words, we can tell that he wants to keep it a secret from Miss Shen.

If Miss Shen knew...

There was a sudden sound outside the door.

It looked like something had fallen to the ground.

Song Liaoye frowned and motioned Gao Yu to go and see what was going on.

Before Gao Yu opened the door, the two people in the study heard the noise outside.

"Miss Shen, what happened? Why did the thing fall?"

"No need, we can just pick it up, Miss Shen, please wait a moment."

When Song Liaoye heard this, he immediately stood up and walked out.

Did she hear it?

Song Liaoye felt flustered and uneasy.

The more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

After Song Liaoye opened the door, he saw the person he was thinking about.

Song Liaoye had never thought of this before, hoping that Shen Fanli had not appeared at the door and had not heard what he said.

The guards outside the door had already picked up the exquisite pastries from the food box.

Gao Yu didn't dare to say a word at this time and kept his mouth shut.

It was obvious that the prince did not want Miss Shen to know about this, but less than three months later, Miss Shen found out.

He heard it when he was talking with the prince.

Gao Yu didn't dare to imagine what the scene would be like.

He only knew that if he didn't leave, he would definitely be punished today.

So he took the opportunity to slip away.

Shen Fanli is confused now.

She couldn't believe what she heard.

Bending down to pick up something just now seemed like an unconscious behavior.

Her mind is blank now.

No thinking ability in general.

Until Song Liaoye stood in front of her.

He waved away the guards outside the door, then took her hand and walked into the house.

Shen Fanli reacted at this time and tried to break free from Song Liaoye's hand.

But Song Liaoye held it tighter and tighter.

He asked her, "What did you hear?"

Shen Fanli looked at Song Liaoye's back, but he didn't look back at her.

"I heard everything I was supposed to hear."

After Shen Fanli said this, she felt her hand being held tighter and tighter, as if they were afraid that she would run away.

Her wrist moved slightly, and Song Liaoye also reacted and stopped holding her palm tightly.

Shen Fanli could even clearly feel that Song Liaoye's palms were sweating.

He turned around and loosened his grip on her hand.

He looked at her with a guilty look in his eyes, "Did you hear..."

Shen Fanli answered directly: "I heard it."

"I heard you say that you were going to marry Miss Pei in three months, and that you were going to send me out of the city."

Then he asked, "Are you going to keep me as your concubine outside the palace?"

Shen Fanli did not question or make a fuss.

She just asked him calmly whether he wanted to keep her as his concubine.

The sadness in her eyes was about to overflow.

Looks extremely fragile.

It seems like it would break if touched lightly.

"Will you listen to my explanation, please?"

Shen Fanli suddenly smiled and nodded.

If she hadn't heard these words today, would Song Liaoye have kept it a secret from her until the whole city of Beijing heard about it or it became a good story?

However, she probably wouldn't be able to hear it then.

That's right, he said he would send her out of town.

This is what I am holding on to.

Shen Fanli's eyes, which contained seven parts of hurt and three parts of expectation, looked at Song Liaoye quietly.

Song Liaoye met her gaze, feeling a little uneasy and guilty, and didn't dare to look at her.

He said: "My marriage to the daughter of the Grand Tutor was only a temporary solution. I have no intention towards her. Please don't misunderstand me."

"The Grand Tutor is the Prince's teacher and the head of the upright civil officials. All the students in the capital, and even the students in the whole world, look up to the Grand Tutor. If I can accomplish something, the Grand Tutor's help will automatically shut up many ministers..."

When Shen Fanli heard this, she realized that Song Liaoye had actually thought so far.

She didn't know whether to say he was thoughtful or that he was thoughtful!

Sure enough, Song Liaoye has indeed changed.

This is not just Shen Fanli's guess, but a fact that really happened.

She didn't know whether Song Liaoye still remembered the promise they made when they were young.

But, I guess I forgot.

Otherwise, why would he marry another girl?

Shen Fanli said slowly: "What about me?"

Song Liaoye looked at Shen Fanli's expression. It seemed that she did not break down or cry, but seemed that she had accepted that he was going to marry someone else.

He was relieved, but some emotions were rising.

He felt vaguely uneasy.

Shen Fanli shouldn't be so calm.

He expected that she would cry, scold him, and ignore him.

But I never expected that Shen Fanli's face was very calm, and the sadness and hurt in his eyes gradually disappeared.

It was a complex emotion that Song Liaoye could not understand.

He walked forward, hugged her and touched her hair.

"Once this is over, I will take you back to the city. You will wait for me in that yard, okay?"

Shen Fanli didn't say anything. She remained silent and didn't push him away. Song Liaoye looked at her expression again and felt that Shen Fanli probably accepted his explanation.

He took her silence as consent.

Yes, she has always been sensible and will understand him.

Song Liaoye gently kissed Shen Fanli's forehead, "I'm sorry, I let you down this time, I will definitely make it up to you in the future."

Listening to what Song Liaoye said, Shen Fanli wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

Shen Fanli could no longer hear clearly what Song Liaoye said at the end.

In the end, I didn’t even remember how I walked back to Mingkaiyuan.

When she came back, she asked people not to disturb her and closed the door.

Leaving behind Bi'er and Jing'er looking at each other in bewilderment.

Their injuries had already healed before, and Shen Fanli asked them to rest for two more days. Only after they were full of energy again did Shen Fanli let them out.

The girl just went to deliver some pastries, why does she feel something is wrong...
