Chapter 28

Xu Shijin worked as a female official in the palace a few years ago, and only returned to Xu's family in the past year.Although the best period of marriage has passed, but because of this woman's excellence, coupled with her background and experience as a female official, the Xu family is actively talking about marriage for her.The Xu family is a big family in Yejing, and they had been standing in Yejing for several years before the first emperor conquered the world.Even if Xu Shijin himself was not considered, those who wanted to marry Xu's daughter were flocking to them in Yejing.

Due to some personal reasons, Shen Yan and Xu Shijin were considered acquainted.

However, he did not expect that Liu Ling, the Princess of Changle whom he met by chance, would be Xu Shijin's old best friend.Xu Shijin talked and laughed at Yan Yan with everyone, but when it came to close friends, Shen Yan didn't remember anyone.

Glancing over the doubtful and embarrassing eyes of everyone in Jinyiwei, Liu Ling said lazily, "Miss Xu and I are indeed on good terms. She was able to enter the palace in the past because of my shadow. Compared with her whereabouts in recent years , Of course I was rendered insignificant, it's normal that Master Shen doesn't have me in the archives in his mind."

"You are still on good terms?" Luo Fan couldn't hold back his voice.

"Correct."

"There was no misunderstanding?"

"Correct."

"Have you ever turned against each other?"

"Yes," Liu Ling smiled, looking at these cautious people with vain eyes, "Is there anything else you want to ask? Tell me how we get along with Ms. Xu? Although asking about gossip is your exclusive hobby, I don't want to accompany you."

"Because of this relationship, if the Xu family makes a move, they will deliberately avoid you, right?" Shen Yan finally opened her mouth, her gaze was like a falcon, staring at Liu Ling closely, not missing the expression on her face.

Liu Ling's eyebrows were a little pale in the morning smog, and even her voice seemed erratic, "...Probably."

The eyes of all Jin Yiwei changed, staring at Princess Changle, their minds became active.Luo Fan couldn't wait to speak, but Shen Yan glanced at him, so he had to shut up.The eyebrows over there were exchanged, but Liu Ling no longer looked at it, and turned her eyes in annoyance.

The closer she is to Yejing, the closer she is to the complex relationship in this circle, and she may even try to get her involved.

When she was in Yejing, she hated this feeling of involuntary control, so she left; after returning to Jiangzhou, her parents and younger siblings appeared from time to time, and the shadow left by her biological mother in the past forced her to go away several times; Then, he will be recalled by Yejing or his father soon.

The world is so vast, but she often doesn't know where she should go to find a moment of peace.

Shen Yan informed Liu Ling that he needed to resettle those refugees.After resigning from office in the past, the old general of Zhenguo returned to his hometown of Ningzhou to retire.It was the old general's birthday in two days. He planned to make a quick trip to visit the old general and beg the old general for help to resettle the refugees in Ningzhou.

Liu Ling had nothing to do, but seeing Shen Yan staring at her all the time, she thought about it for a while, and her heart became a little cold, "Old General Zhen Guo? Ningzhou? Sounds familiar."

"Old General Zhen Guo is the previous head of the Xu family. Even if he is now a virtuous person, his position in the Xu family is still unshakable." Shen Yan paused deliberately, "To celebrate the birthday of the old general, your friend, Miss Xu Shijin, must It's also at General Xu's mansion, and you two will meet soon."

Liu Ling narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. If you don't want to see Miss Xu, you can tell me in advance."

Liu Ling sneered, "Master Shen has already arranged the itinerary, what's the use of asking me again?"

"If it's not convenient for you to meet Miss Xu, I can make other arrangements for you." Shen Yan said in a low voice.

"...No need," Liu Ling's attitude turned sour, "You don't need to test me over and over again! Xu Shijin and I really don't have any hatred, our relationship is really good, and we really didn't hurt each other. I didn't hide our relationship, no matter what you have All guesses are wrong."

From the corner of her vision, she saw the muscles on the corners of Shen Yan's mouth and cheeks twisted.His face was livid, and he saw her eyes sinking with forbearance.

Shen Yan turned and slammed the door, Liu Ling watched him go away, and then paused under her window.He didn't turn his head to give her a glance, but he left the words for her, "I asked you over and over again, just to test you?"

Liu Ling also didn't look at him, "If I said I don't want to go to Ningzhou, can you change the route for me?"

"No."

Liu Ling sneered, full of irony.

"Princess, princess!" It was raining heavily outside, and the maid took out a picture book from the corner to pass the time for Liu Ling, but Lingbi hurried into the house, her words and deeds were quite aggrieved, "Princess, I will follow your orders." , when delivering meals to Mr. Shen, when she was going out, she saw Yue Ling sneaking around... Then she intercepted the little note that Yue Ling wanted to send to Jin Yiwei, and she played tricks again!"

Liu Ling raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"I don't know where she heard that the princess and Miss Xu are good friends. Jin Yiwei was assassinated a few times recently, and she was in a state of distress. She left a note for Mr. Luo, saying..."

"Since I have a good relationship with Xu Shijin, the Xu family seems to be involved in the recent encounters with Jin Yiwei. Why don't Jin Yiwei ask me for help to test the real attitude and purpose of the Xu family." Liu Ling closed the book and stood up. Under Lingbi's surprised eyes, he finished his sentence, "Because I am very difficult to speak, and Jin Yiwei directly begged, I probably would not agree. Why don't Master Shen use my feelings to say Maybe I will be soft-hearted and willing to help Jin Yiwei?"

"It turns out that the princess has already guessed it!" Lingbi was a little embarrassed, but suddenly filled with righteous indignation, "Obviously she knows how vicious she is, but where does she have the confidence to think that Mr. Luo will listen to her advice? And how could Master Shen Use the princess!"

"That's not necessarily true. I'm afraid that Jin Yiwei had this intention long ago, but he was embarrassed to mention it. When Yue Ling brought it up, they would inevitably be moved. As for Mr. Shen," Liu Lingman said, "Do you think that Shen Yan has come to this point because of him?" Is the noble character charming? With his charm, he can make people listen to him obediently with a smile and tell all the secrets he wants to know? Mr. Shen becomes ruthless, but a little girl like you can't understand it. "

Ling Bi was slightly stagnant, unable to refute.

She also thought of the recent days, although Master Shen is busy and rarely sees the princess, but his attitude towards the princess is okay, and he is not as reckless as before.Where did this change begin?That's right, it started when she and Lingxi accidentally said that the princess and Miss Xu had a good relationship.Perhaps from then on, Mr. Shen had the same idea as Miss Yue's suggestion now.It's just that Mr. Shen has a deep mind, and since then, he has started to put it into action - he naturally knows that the princess has some thoughts about him, and it is easy to use the princess' feelings in turn.

Lingbi felt aggrieved for the princess for a moment: Why are all men in the world so bad?

But in a blink of an eye, she thought again that the princess had already guessed it.

Being stared at with sympathy by the maid, Liu Ling really couldn't stand it, "put away your pitiful gaze, I don't care if Shen Yan uses me or not. All I want is him!"

She doesn't care whether he uses it or not, what he thinks in his heart.

She just wants this person!

She doesn't care what he likes!
Lingxi, who entered the house to serve tea, obviously heard the princess's declaration.She paused, and murmured softly, "So Princess, you are still playing with Master Shen's feelings..."

In my heart, Master Shen has never been there.

Only in this way, it doesn't matter what Mr. Shen does to him.

Liu Ling looked at Lingxi coldly, "Also put away your assumptions. I never played with Shen Yan's feelings, and I treated him with sincerity."

"But……"

"If you don't understand, shut up! Stop imagining! Just watch it obediently!" Liu Ling was tired of these people's conjectures, "Since you don't understand, don't try to impose your wishes on me. If each of you Can understand me, why do you think I'm vicious and weird?!"

So far, it seems that only Shen Yan can understand her.

Only him.

Liu Ling lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes was soft.

In any case, Jin Yiwei and his party finally escorted everyone and rushed all the way to Ningzhou.Ningzhou is already the nearest land to Yejing, and it is very prosperous.Jin Yiwei first went to the government office to collect some files, and then everyone took care of it, and changed their appearance, and they were all neatly dressed.So Shen Yan brought everyone to visit with Princess Changle.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Miss Xu.

The hair is pulled high in a bun, the waist is worn with a lapel, and the eyebrows are elegant.

The whole body is famous and romantic.

When Miss Xu saw Princess Changle, her smile was much more sincere than when she was with others, "It's been so many years, the princess is still as handsome as ever."

"Ah."

"..." Jin Yiwei, who was looking this way, was overwhelmed, what does "um" mean? !Miss Xu is so enthusiastic, and Princess Changle didn't even show any sign of it?

Shen Yan's smile was not a smile - indeed it was the style of the princess.

Miss Xu didn't think it was disobedient, she still smiled and said, "Have you received the letter I sent you?"

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, but didn't reply in time, and heard Miss Xu continue, "It's about your Yibin and Mr. Lu having an affair behind your back."

What does she mean by mentioning it openly?
Xu Shijin, a woman, was never simple.

Shen Yan's eyes were cold, and he hit Xu Shijin like a blade.

Similarly, the Lu family who had just sent congratulatory gifts to the old general also cast unkind eyes on Xu Shijin.

Miss Xu pretended not to be aware of all the gazes, she continued with a smile, "By the way, you might see Master Yibin here. You must not know that Mr. Lu is as handsome as before."

The atmosphere was even more eerie.
