Chapter 80 Discussion
  Shen Zhuoxi noticed that someone was looking at her, raised her eyes and looked around inadvertently, and spotted Wu Yong at a glance.
  She had never seen Wu Yong in person, so she could guess a thing or two from his appearance.
  However, her gaze did not last long and she quickly withdrew her gaze.
  Huizhi also realized that something was wrong, so he pretended to tidy up her clothes and whispered in her ear: "Miss, this slave saw Wu..."
  "I know." Shen Zhuoxi interrupted her and said, "Don't look at him, pretend not to know."
  Huizhi retracted her movements and followed Shen Zhuoxi obediently again.
  After entering the door, tables were divided according to men and women. Shen Zhuoxi and others were taken to the female family members' side. Shen Xinyu sat at the same table with several princesses and princesses, and took Shen Xinjiao with them.
  Shen Jingya was a concubine and was placed a little further away. She glanced this way several times.
  Shen Zhuoxi had never stepped out of the Grand Master's Mansion since she was five years old. She did come out that night when she climbed into the Prince's bed. It was also late at night and not many people saw her, so no one in the whole place recognized her identity.
  Others didn't know her, and she didn't know anyone else either. In order to avoid getting into trouble, she didn't look around after sitting down, holding the teacup and sipping gently.
  The young lady in pink clothes sitting next to her glanced at Shen Xinyu and sighed: "The eldest daughter of the Shen family has a really good life, but she will become a phoenix if she pays attention to her poem."
  The young lady next to her took the words and said, "No, considering her mother's family background, I'm afraid it won't be her turn. Look at her dress today, she is absolutely gorgeous. The rumors must be true."
  Another young lady said: "Where is it? With the relationship between Grand Master Shen, Miss Shen is still very noble, and she is famous for her talent, so it makes sense for her to become the Crown Princess."
  The young lady who spoke first sneered: "The Grand Master's Mansion is certainly noble, but who doesn't know about the filth in the Earl's Mansion? Thanks to Grand Master Shen's relationship, otherwise would the Queen have agreed?"
  At this time, the lady wearing lavender clothes frowned slightly and interrupted: "These words can be said at will. In this situation, you are not afraid of causing trouble."
  "I'm just curious. Why is sister Zhiting so serious?" The young lady who spoke first said aggrievedly: "If Miss Shen hadn't interfered, my sister would have been the crown princess. Don't you blame her?"
  Sister Zhiting, could it be Wei Zhiting, the eldest lady of Zuo Xiangfu?
  "What's so strange?" The woman called Sister Zhiting said calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Shen are in love and are well matched. Even if it wasn't her, there are other noble ladies in Shengdu. It doesn't have to be me."
  "Sister Zhiting has always liked freedom. It's not like you don't know." The lady in green clothes looked around and said directly: "Isn't it strange? It sounds like she is trying to provoke her."
  The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.
  "Everyone is curious, but we can't say these words anymore, otherwise we will have to make a fuss if someone is interested." Wei Zhiting didn't want to continue talking, so she changed the subject and looked at Shen Zhuoxi.
  "I have never seen this young lady before. May I ask where your residence is?"
  Shen Zhuoxi paused slightly while drinking tea, then smiled and said: "The Shen family."
  The women on the table looked at each other in confusion. Just now they were talking about the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Unexpectedly, there was actually a Shen family sitting on the table. They had never seen her before.
  The young lady in green clothes couldn't help but frowned and said, "I seem to have seen you and Mrs. Shen family entering together. Are you a cousin of the Shen family?"
  "Not a relative." Shen Zhuoxi looked calm and said, "He is a direct descendant of the Shen family."
  "Alas!" At this time, Miss Fen Yishang thought of something, looked at Shen Zhuoxi in surprise, and said, "I heard that the second young lady of the Shen family is well. You must not be the second young lady Shen!"
  After all, the people sitting at this table are all the legitimate daughters of wealthy families!
  When she said this, her voice was quite high, which attracted the attention of several tables around her.
  For a moment, all eyes were focused on Shen Zhuoxi.
  Shen Zhuoxi seemed not to notice those different eyes, and maintained a good demeanor, still calmly saying: "Exactly."
  The surrounding area suddenly exploded.
  Even though they were very close, many of those people's voices reached Shen Zhuoxi's ears.
  "I heard about ten days ago that the second young lady of the Shen family was well. I didn't expect it to be true."
  "I didn't say it was going to get better at the beginning, but why did it suddenly get better? Look at this, it's completely back to normal."
  "No, I heard that she is favored by the doctor hired by Prince Yu's Palace. His Highness Prince Yu is taking good care of her."
  "I've also heard that His Highness King Yu treats her differently. The second young lady of the Shen family is lucky enough to be doing well after more than ten years."
  "So what, even if His Highness King Yu takes care of her, it can't erase the dirty things she did. Climbing onto the prince's bed is disgusting enough."
  "Tsk, tsk, when you said that, I also doubted it. Did she get better when she climbed into the prince's bed?"
  "Maybe, who stupid person knows how to climb into bed?"
  "The next step is definitely because Xiao wants to be the crown princess and doesn't care about his own situation."
  "Yes, the lack of protection has been a pretense all these years. Otherwise, so many imperial doctors failed to take good care of it, and an inexplicable old doctor cured it?"
  "She is thoughtful. If the Empress Dowager and the First Lady of Taishi Mansion were not kind, she would have been burned to death by Si Tianjian!"
  "Hey, we can't bring up Si Tianjian's matter, but she couldn't escape by climbing on the prince's bed. She was also tied up in public on the street. The Taishi Mansion took her back overnight and almost beat her to death."
  "..."
  Halfway through the discussion, he successfully mentioned her scandal and a series of questions.
  Hui Zhi couldn't bear to listen and said loudly: "Just talking about it without knowing the truth is what a lady and a rich lady should do?"
  The discussion became quieter now, but there were still many people looking in Shen Zhuoxi's direction and whispering to each other.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't take those words seriously at all. If everyone dared to talk, there must be someone who took the lead in instigating them. She wanted to care about them one by one, and she just fell into the trap of others.
  "Miss." Hui Zhi saw that she was silent and whispered: "You should also stand up and say something, otherwise others will think you are easy to bully and you will say anything."
  "What did you say?" Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "The more you explain, the harder it becomes to explain. You care about everything. I don't need to attend the banquet today."
  Huizhi pursed her lips, unable to say anything else.
  At this time, a cry of "Second Miss" came from the crowd.
  Following the sound, it turned out that the old lady of Youxiang Mansion was coming with Mrs. Youxiang and others.
  Shen Zhuoxi took a few steps forward and greeted them one by one.
  "Good boy, get up quickly." The old lady heard a lot of unpleasant words outside. At this time, she stood in the crowd of women, her voice became louder, and she looked around: "You can say anything, as a daughter of gold should have." Decent?"
  "Yes, the second young lady is kind-hearted and courteous in her advances and retreats. She is not as bad as you say!" Madam Right Prime Minister held Shen Zhuoxi's hand and said, "I believe the second young lady!"
  "There must be something inside about the prince's matter!"
  "Mrs. Right Prime Minister." Shen Jingya couldn't help but stood up and saluted, pretending to be embarrassed, and said: "We in the Shen family are very grateful that you spoke for the second sister, but this matter is absolutely true, and we don't blame others for talking about it."
  As a member of the Shen family, Shen Jingya said this, basically confirming Shen Zhuoxi's affairs.
  The sound that had just subsided suddenly exploded...
