The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 18 Eccentricity
"what--"

The sudden hot soup made Xie Yiwan scream. She quickly backed away like a wild cat that had stepped on its tail. She tripped over her left foot and stumbled over her right foot. She tilted her body and fell to the ground.

The muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was mixed with a crisp sound.

Half of the broken jade rolled to Lin Zhiyu's feet, and the eye-catching bracelet was broken.

And Xie Yiwan herself screamed repeatedly, her eyes were filled with tea and she couldn't open her eyes, and her legs were in the air, like a skinny bastard who had shed its shell and was struggling on the ground but couldn't get up!
Lin Zhiyu almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Pei Shizhi heard the familiar scream, kicked the door open, and saw this scene when he came in.

The girl who hugged him intimately half an hour ago was now lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, her flawless white jade cheeks flushed red, her temples dripping with water, and green tea leaves sticking to her temples, which was funny and pitiful at the same time.

Next to her stood a helpless Lin Zhiyu, as dumb as a wooden man.

Pei Shizhi's anger ignited, "Lin Zhiyu, what are you doing!"

The man who was always known for his gentleness had a gloomy and terrifying aura around him.

"His Royal Highness! Me!"

Lin Zhiyu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly wanted to explain, but felt it was not the right time, so she hurriedly helped Xie Yiewan, who was leaning on the ground.

But was violently waved away.

Lin Zhiyu's arm was numb from the beating, and the frightening red slap showed how hard Pei Shizhi had used it.

"Your Highness, it's not what you think..."

Xie Yiwan was half-hugged and half-cared by Pei Shizhi, as if she had seen a savior, "Your Highness..."

The trick does not lie in whether it is original or not, as long as it is useful, but the key to whether it is useful or not lies in making a choice which side the person's heart prefers.

Lin Zhiyu watched this scene condescendingly, with a hint of joking and ridicule in his heart, and a look of anxiety on his face.

This was the first time she saw Pei Shizhi since her rebirth.

Pei Shizhi's appearance can be regarded as one of the best in the capital. He is dressed in white and has a beautiful appearance. Someone once described him as "gentle wind, soft snow, elegant appearance".

When it comes to talent, Pei Shizhi also has some real abilities, and is not a useless idiot among the nobles of aristocratic families.

Because of this, Pei Shizhi was very popular among the noble ladies in the capital. Some people once ran ten miles just to catch a glimpse of his grace.

If there was no Xiao Xuan, the marriage would go on as usual, and she would have liked him in her previous life.

Unfortunately……

At this moment, Pei Shizhi could only hold gratitude in his eyes and completely forgot about Princess Jianning's instructions.

Lin Zhiyu could actually understand that these two had just become a couple, and it would be disappointing if they really ignored them.

After all, only if you really care, it will be even more heartbreaking after it is ruined.

Xie Yiwan stood up with Pei Shizhi's help. Her cheeks hurt, her wrists hurt, and her buttocks hurt, but these were nothing compared to the severe pain in her hip bones.

When he fell just now, his hip bone seemed to have been hit hard by a hard object. Xie Yiwan lowered her eyes with tears in her eyes. When she saw the purse hanging on her waist, her face suddenly turned pale.

Hidden in her purse was the phoenix hairpin given to her by Pei Shizhi!

Gold is soft, so this collision must have been... Xie Yiwan didn't dare to think about it. In her heartache, she caught a glimpse of the broken bracelet again from the corner of her eye, and tears fell down her cheeks.

This scene made Pei Shizhi heartbroken. He shouted at Lin Zhiyu with a cold face, "What did you just do!"

"I didn't, I didn't do anything. The second sister wanted to try the tea brought by the waiter, so I poured her a cup. I didn't do anything!"

Lin Zhiyu explained at a loss. Before he finished speaking, he ignored what Pei Shizhi said and ran to Xie Yiwan's side.

"Second sister, how are you? Don't cry. Why don't you tell your sister that she will take you to see the doctor!" Pei Shizhi said with his gratitude behind him, "You are not needed! Han Qing! Go and ask Doctor Li!"

"Need not--"

Xie Yiwanzheng was proud of Pei Shizhi's protection and favor. He suddenly woke up when he heard the word "imperial physician".

If a doctor were invited, they would definitely be mentioned about her allergy. The marks on her neck could deceive Lin Zhiyu, but they could not deceive the doctor!

Pei Shizhi was worried, and thanked Yue Wan anxiously, "Your Highness, you really don't need it. My daughter is fine. She just accidentally got a little burnt by the tea. It's nothing serious. Just wipe it off and it will be fine."

Xie Yiwan begged.

Pei Shizhiding looked into her eyes and said, "Han Qing! Go get a basin of cold water!"

"Yes!"

After Han Qing left, Lin Zhiyu stepped forward with concern, "Second sister, are you really okay? Why did you fall? Did you get burned by the cup? My sister just reminded me that the tea is very hot. How can my sister still..."

Lin Zhiyu pointed out some words and stopped them.

Xie Yiwan did not refute. She was not sure whether Lin Zhiyu did it on purpose. If it was not intentional, why did he accidentally splash the hot tea on her face?

But if it was intentional, and the self-harm and frame-up was just a temporary idea on her part, how could a fool like Lin Zhiyu know?

Xie Yiwan had no time to think too much. Her whole body was in pain and she wanted to breathe, but she was afraid of attracting the doctor, so she had to endure it.

Lin Zhiyu was still apologizing, "It's all my fault. I can't do this little thing well. I should have put the tea cup on your table, how could you let me pick it up?"

"Okay! Don't explain anymore! You will make this prince upset by your nagging!"

After listening for a long time, Pei Shizhi figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It was probably an accident.

Lin Zhiyu is stupid and vicious, but she has no reason to bully Xie Yiwan in front of him. Firstly, she doesn't know his relationship with Xie Yiwan, so there is no need to target him. Secondly, if this matter goes wrong, it will be Lin Zhiwan who will be the bad one. Gardenia's reputation is worth the loss.

And Xie Yiwan was not the one who caused trouble. Now she gritted her teeth and endured it just to settle the matter, fearing that he would blame Lin Zhiyu.

But Lin Zhiyu was right when she said something, she couldn't even do this little thing well.

On the side, Lin Zhiyu's eyes turned red after being scolded, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

When I looked up again, my eyes were filled with tears, and they were about to fall. My eyes were like glass soaked in morning dew, filled with grievance, fear, and annoyance...

This scene made Pei Shizhi stunned.

The innocent girl's small nose was sweating. She stood far away and looked at him with a look that longed to get closer but was reserved and fearful.

She likes him.

If today is the first time Lin Zhiyu has seen Pei Shizhi since his rebirth, then for Pei Shizhi, today is the first time in his two lives that he has been so close to Lin Zhiyu.

Earlier, he was angry about their engagement. Whenever he heard Lin Zhiyu somewhere, he immediately changed his route and avoided it, refusing to take a second look. It seemed that if he paid more attention, he would be convinced of something.

It was rumored by the outside world that Lin Zhiyu was born well and his appearance was unique in Beijing. Pei Shizhi did not take it seriously and thought it was just flattery from those who were greedy for beauty. But at the moment, Pei Shizhi felt that this statement was not true.

The innocent look on the girl's face makes people unbearable to criticize her.

With this concentration, Pei Shizhi finally realized his identity and situation, stayed away from Xie Yiwan, and came to Lin Zhiyu.

"Don't cry. I don't mean to criticize you harshly. It's just because you two are dignified young ladies from the Pingxi Marquis Mansion. How can you behave like this when you are away from home?"

The sudden regret made Pei Shizhi tone down his tone, but this regret was not because Lin Zhiyu had been wronged, but because he was worried that Lin Zhiyu would see the closeness between him and Xie Yiwan and return home to sue, which would ruin the matter.

Pei Shizhi had murderous intent in her heart. If she saw something, she would not blame him for being cruel.
