Chapter 1961 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
Mrs. Han couldn't stand seeing other people talking loudly, and she couldn't stand seeing others praising Shi Xuan, whom she looked down upon.
After a moment of indifference, he said kindly, "Miss Shi is indeed a wonderful person. I wonder if she is married yet. You must carefully choose a suitable husband."
It's full of sarcasm, especially when combined with her half-smile, it's hard not to get angry.
Shi Li noticed that Shi Xuan's hands were clenched tightly.
Thinking of her previous experience in the Han Mansion, her brows furrowed, and she took a small step forward, looking at Madam Han smartly.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam Han. As the saying goes, a daughter is sought after by a hundred families. My sister is a person of extraordinary character and appearance, so she is naturally worthy of a good husband, so we have to choose more carefully. This is not like Madam Han. A son must find a wife quickly, otherwise it will be a pity if he can't find one in the future."
She was pretty and young, and her voice was clear and melodious, like the pleasant sound of a mountain spring. People who didn't pay attention thought it was a joke from a little girl and listened with a smile, even thinking she was innocent and cute.
But Mrs. Han didn't think so. She glared at her coldly and said, "You are so young, how can you say such things without any shame?"
"Huh? I just think Madam is kind and amiable, and I can't help but want to talk to Madam in a close way. Why did Madam say this to me?"
Shi Li suddenly showed weakness, as if she was confused by what Mrs. Han said. Tears welled up in her eyes and she lowered her head timidly.
Mrs. Han:…
She certainly hadn't been able to control her emotions just now, but she had never expected Shi Li to respond like this. She stood there speechless.
"Mrs. Han, Miss Shi was just joking with you, why are you frowning and scolding her?" The colleague's wife was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned and pulled Shi Li to her side, looking at Mrs. Han with a reproachful look.
Mrs. Han had no way to defend herself. If she came from the modern times, she would have known that she had been tricked by Shi Licha. Unfortunately, she didn't know.
Moreover, he was a superficial and short-sighted person, otherwise he would not have looked down on Shi Xuan. He was so embarrassed by what his colleague's wife said that he could not argue at all.
"Madam, we still have to burn incense, don't waste the time." Miss Sun next to her frowned slightly, with a suspicious expression, but she followed Madam Han out, so she still had to stand up to her and speak up for her.
Madam Han seemed to have found her backbone immediately, and patted her hands with relief, "I knew you were sensible, unlike other uneducated people. Forget it, let's go to burn incense first."
The two groups then separated.
The colleague's wife seemed to really like Shi Xuan and Shi Li. She looked at Mrs. Han's back and seemed to be still not satisfied. She turned her head and said to her aunt, "Mrs. Han, you are so sarcastic. Why didn't you protect your niece just now?"
Aunt: Oh no, it’s coming towards me.
"I, I didn't react just now. She has never done this before." The aunt explained haltingly, then glanced at Shi Xuan, still wondering how she had offended Mrs. Han.
However, the colleague's wife was a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She still felt that her aunt had not done enough and lectured her earnestly.
"You have two good girls under your wing, so you must take good care of them and not let anyone bully them."
My aunt was speechless and could only maintain a stiff smile.
"Thank you for your care, madam. My aunt has always been very good to us. It's getting late, let's go to burn incense." Shi Xuan came out to help out at the right time, walked over and affectionately took the arm of his colleague's wife.
The colleague's wife probably really liked the girl. She immediately smiled happily and happily took her into the temple.
The fallen aunt: ...
"Come on." She felt angry and aggrieved. She glared at Shi Li secretly, then turned and left.
Only Su Yuan lagged behind, glanced at Shi Li and snorted.
"Your sister has really bad taste."
Although the words were unpleasant to hear, she did protect Shi Xuan's dignity. Shi Li was not angry, and even smiled, "Thank you for that just now."
"Hmph!" Su Yuan ignored her and took a few quick steps away from her.
After burning incense, the ladies went to listen to the sutras and let a few young girls take a walk around and enjoy the scenery.
The tranquil scenery of the mountains and forests, which have not been polluted by humans, is very attractive.
Even if Shi Li wanted to be lazy, she couldn't be lazy after seeing so many gifts. She dragged Shi Xuan around for a tour, and all she could hear was the sound of gold coins entering her account.
Shi Xuan was a little depressed because of what happened just now, but he still stayed with her.
Gradually, I was immersed in the beautiful scenery, and the sadness on my face faded away a lot.
The winding path led to a secluded place. Suddenly, a burst of brisk footsteps was heard in front. Before Shi Li could react, a boy of seven or eight years old bumped into her.
