Chapter 712 Heartless thing
Chapter 712 Heartless thing
Shen Shuyi nodded: "I had the honor of working with Mr. Xie before, so we are acquainted."
Her frankness alleviated Xiao Tinglan's dissatisfaction a little.
During this period of time, she heard that Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi were very close, and she really wanted to kill them!
However, their Prince Duan's Mansion had always been very close to the Third Prince's party. Now that Xiao Heyu was dead, the Lu family and Concubine Rou were both finished.
My father warned her directly that Princess Mingzhu should not be underestimated, and that she was now valued by the Queen Mother and His Majesty, so he told her not to act rashly.
But her family has been arranging marriages for her frequently recently, and she really doesn't want to wait any longer.
She didn't dare to say that she understood Xie Jingchi, but at least, in all these years, she had never seen him so close to any woman.
Although, she did not find any inappropriate behavior between the two, but sometimes, things that are too natural are unreasonable.
"So, sister Shuyi, what do you think of Lord Xie?" Xiao Tinglan asked warmly, as if she was a close friend with whom she could have private conversations.
Shen Shuyi looked normal, he just felt that Princess Hanyang had asked a question that would get him killed.
If she said so, it would inevitably make him feel that she had ulterior motives towards Xie Jingchi.
It’s hard to say, but to someone like her whose heart and eyes are filled with Xie Jingchi, I simply don’t know how to live or die.
It seems that no matter how I answer, it’s wrong.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "I don't know about the rest, but Lord Xie is quite dignified and ruthless, and he really doesn't seem like an ordinary civil official."
"Then, Sister Shuyi, do you think he is suitable to be a husband?" Xiao Tinglan refused to give up and continued to ask.
Shen Shuyi looked at Princess Hanyang and felt that she must get an answer today.
She stopped and said slowly: "Not suitable."
Qin Xin and Jian Po behind him raised their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on Shen Shuyi's back.
It’s over, it’s over, the master is dead.
"Why?" Xiao Tinglan looked directly at Shen Shuyi, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
"Master Xie's face is too handsome. I think he will attract countless bees and butterflies, and he will never have peace. In addition, Master Xie is ruthless and has outstanding wisdom. He will definitely be hated by others, and I'm afraid there will be constant troubles."
After hearing what Shen Shuyi said, Xiao Tinglan was speechless for a moment, but her guard was lowered a little.
Shen Shuyi's words seemed to be saying bad things about Xie Jingchi, but every word of his words was full of praise. Every word of his words seemed to be praising him, but he also pointed out the reasons why he was not a good match.
Xiao Tinglan just felt that even if she wanted to say that Shen Shuyi was just trying to please her, she couldn't find a reason.
"Thank you, Sister Shuyi, for your advice." Xiao Tinglan said with a smile, and then tried to ask, "I heard that you are about to reach the age of marriage. I wonder if the Shen family has any plans to arrange a marriage for you?"
"Previously, a master wrote that my fate is hard and I will not marry well. I think my marriage will not be smooth."
Hearing this, Xiao Tinglan felt relieved a little.
However, she couldn't help but take another look at the girl in front of her. Shen Shuyi had a cold and beautiful face and a natural dignity. She had an indescribable casualness and laziness about her, yet she looked frank and calm, making people feel unpretentious.
You say it's a husband-killer?
Xiao Tinglan didn't notice anything at all, she just thought she was a vivid beauty.
But... Shen Shuyi looks gentle, but he does seem like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Xiao Tinglan couldn't describe the feeling, but Shen Shuyi was indeed different from the women she had met.
"What about you? Does you have someone you like?"
Shen Shuyi did not answer this time, but said: "Sister Tinglan seems to be very interested in my marriage."
Xiao Tinglan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Oh, it's not that I'm getting married soon, so it's inevitable that I think too much."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said nothing more.
When the two of them arrived at the palace gate, Princess Hanyang said to Shen Shuyi, "It feels like we hit it off today. Please come to Prince Duan's mansion more often in the future."
"I can't refuse your kindness, thank you very much, sister." Shen Shuyi agreed.
The two were just about to separate, but unexpectedly, when they turned around, they met Xie Jingchi.
Shen Shuyi: "..."
She really didn't know what to say.
Shen Shuyi met Xie Jingchi's sharp eyes and was slightly distracted.
Xiao Tinglan beside him seemed to have not expected to meet Xie Jingchi at this time. For a moment, she could not hide the joy on her face.
She hurried to Xie Jingchi: "Xie Jingchi!"
Unexpectedly, before she could stand in front of Xie Jingchi, Xie Jingchi moved aside and greeted her: "Greetings, Princess Hanyang."
Xiao Tinglan was very angry: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to bow to me?"
"I'll take my leave." Xie Jingchi said in a cold voice and walked towards the palace gate.
Shen Shuyi's heart tightened, fearing that Xie Jingchi would come to talk to her, so she got on the carriage without looking back.
"Xie Jingchi, stop right there!" Xiao Tinglan's eyes turned red with anger. She had been chasing him for so long and now she was so humble, but why was he still unwilling to even look at her?
"Am I some kind of monster? Am I not good enough for you? Why won't you marry me?"
Xiao Tinglan was really aggrieved. Although her father did not agree with their marriage, if Xie Jingchi was willing to propose marriage, her father would not refuse.
But he just wouldn't listen.
Xie Jingchi's expression was icy: "If the princess is eager to get married, you can ask the prince to make the decision. There are countless men for the princess to choose from."
After saying this, Xie Jingchi left without looking back.
But when he looked up again, he found that Shen Shuyi was no longer in front of the palace gate.
Xie Jingchi paused: "..."
Well, very good, very good.

In the carriage, Shen Shuyi supported her head with one hand and thought about it. Qin Xin couldn't help but probe: "Miss, you... don't have any interest in Master Xie?"
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on Qin Xin's face, which made Qin Xin feel uneasy.
Shen Shuyi did not answer. He thought about it carefully. It seemed a bit hypocritical to say that there was no friendship at all. After all, they had lived and died together several times, and they had also worked together to bring down Xiao Heyu's party. They could be considered to have a tacit understanding.
But if she wants to get married, she doesn't want to get married unless she has to.
But if she had to get married, she wasn't sure if she could find someone as suitable as Xie Jingchi...
At night, Xie Mansion.
Xie Jingchi was wearing a navy blue brocade robe that hung loosely on his body.
"Not a good match?"
"Yes." Qin Xin looked nervous, her heart in her throat.
"Is that what she said to Princess Hanyang?"
"Yes." Qin Xin was worried about Shen Shuyi.
Xie Jingchi sneered: "What a heartless woman!"
"Go and send a message for me, and tell them that I want to visit you." Xie Jingchi said in a cold voice.
"Ah? Now?" Qin Xin was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the dark night.
Xie Jingchi did not respond, but even through the screen, Qin Xin could feel the cold gaze falling on her head.
"I'll go right away." Qin Xin stood up and left in a hurry.
Xie Jingchi was playing with the ebony hairpin that Shen Shuyi had given him earlier, feeling a lump in his throat. "What a heartless person! Are you thinking about that loser Song Tingshan?"
