Chapter 534 Why Don’t You Want to Marry Me?
Soon someone came forward and supported Shen Meiru: "What's going on? Tell me slowly!"
As they were talking, Princess Guining, surrounded by the crowd, also came in front of Shen Meiru.
"How did you get this injury?"
Facing Princess Guining, Shen Meiru was a little uneasy. But as long as she thought that she and Princess Guining were now in the same boat and that she was working for the princess, Shen Meiru felt relieved.
She thought that if she performed well this time, she might have a chance to catch the princess's eye.
Although she was definitely not like Shen Shuyi, who was designed to sleep with the prince of the princess's mansion, but if she could win the princess's favor, her own marriage in the future...
But in a flash, Shen Meiru had many thoughts.
Therefore, she seemed to be working very hard when she started to perform: "In reply to your Majesty, I was resting in the plum garden just now, and I didn't expect to see a few assassins in black."
"I was so frightened that I hid in the dark and didn't dare to make a sound. I waited until the assassin left, then I staggered back. But I didn't expect that I made so much noise in my panic that I was discovered by the assassin..."
"Later, an assassin came after me to silence me. I managed to escape, but was accidentally stabbed by a sword."
Shen Meiru's face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was trembling all over, looking like she was terribly frightened.
As soon as she said this, there was an uproar all around.
"How could this be?"
"It's broad daylight, in a clear and bright place! How could someone dare to assassinate someone in the Princess's mansion? Do they want to die?"
"There are so many people here today, maybe the assassin got in this way. I just don't know who the assassin is targeting."
"..."
The group was talking among themselves, and Xiao Mengxi had an unpredictable look on his face.
She looked at Shen Meiru coldly and said in a deep voice, "Did you see how many assassins there were? Which direction did they flee to?"
Shen Meiru's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was lost in memories.
After a while, he said, "There were probably five or six people... or seven or eight. I was too flustered to see clearly."
"Which direction are they going?" Xiao Mengxi asked.
Shen Meiru looked up, identified the direction, and then pointed in the direction of Yimeyuan.
"Oh no, Princess! The prince is resting in Yime Garden right now!" Bihe's face changed immediately when she saw Shen Meiru's actions.
Hearing this, Xiao Mengxi also looked solemn: "Rui'er!"
At that moment, Xiao Mengxi called the guards, and the group immediately headed straight for Yime Garden.
Seeing this, the guests around also followed.
Xiao Mengxi walked hurriedly, very quickly. When she arrived at Yimei Garden, she saw the servant who came to greet her and immediately asked, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince is drunk and is resting in his room now." The servant bent his body and stepped aside.
"Take me there." Xiao Mengxi said.
The servant led the way, and soon, the group appeared in the courtyard of Yime Garden and stopped outside the door of a main house.
At this moment, the door was closed, there was no sound of assassins, but there was a woman's intermittent moaning sound, which was vaguely heard.
"Brother Feng...I feel so uncomfortable..."
"I really like you? Why don't you marry me?"
"Brother Feng, help me... I feel hot... I feel uncomfortable..."
"..."
Although the woman's moans were not loud, with the arrival of many people, the whole yard was silent.
The people standing near the front could hear roughly what was going on.
Everyone looked at each other, then looked at Princess Guining's expression and couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
"This... sounds like a woman's voice."
"Didn't you say you were here to find an assassin?"
"Didn't you hear the servant just now say that the prince is here?"
Although the group did not say it explicitly, they were all full of curiosity and stretched their necks to want to know what was happening in the room.
Qin Xuerong's status was not high enough, so she stood a little further back.
Therefore, I didn't hear the voice inside clearly, but only vaguely heard the discussions of the people in front.
He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "What's going on? It sounds like a man and a woman are..."
"Yes, the person in front also said it was the sound of a man and a woman making love. This is really in broad daylight..."
"Shh, do you want to live?" someone interrupted quickly.
The other party smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, I mean this woman is not self-disciplined and must have evil intentions. The prince is a virgin, how can he understand these things?"
Qin Xuerong immediately responded, "That's right. The prince is of noble status and simple-minded. How could he understand these things? This woman must be greedy for fame and wealth..."
The group was discussing the matter, but since Princess Guining was there, no one dared to discuss the prince's faults without knowing the consequences.
Therefore, everyone's criticism was directed at the woman in the room, and many people seemed to have selectively forgotten about the assassin for a short period of time.
Qin Xuerong raised the corners of her lips as she listened to the taunts.
Shen Shuyi, ah Shen Shuyi...
You brought this upon yourself!
Today I want to see how your dignity is destroyed and your reputation is ruined. I want you to have a taste of it.
Shen Meiru followed beside him, her face turning pale as she covered her wound.
But there was a gleam of excitement in his slightly raised eyes.
She never thought that someone like Shen Shuyi would end up falling into her hands.
After being suppressed for years, the resentment that had been pent up in her heart now seemed to have been vented. At the same time, it also seemed like a kind of vindication for her.
To prove that she could be like them, to prove that the only difference between her and Shen Meiru was her background.
Shen Meiru let out a sigh of relief, feeling indescribably happy.
Different from the reaction of the women here, the men treated this as a romantic affair with a bit of teasing.
"I didn't expect that the prince is so young, but has such ability. It's really enviable."
"Isn't it? Only the prince can have such good fortune. The rest of us can never even dream of it."
"Brother Han, don't worry. When you become successful and famous, you will have countless beautiful wives and concubines. Will you still worry about not having a woman?"
"..."
The group was talking and laughing and joking.
Only Feng Bochang looked a little unnatural, because he was an upstart of the younger generation, a young leader, and had achieved great success.
Therefore, others have always surrounded him and made him the center of attention.
He was standing in the male guest seat, quite close to the front. Moreover, he was very familiar with Shen Jingzhen, so when he heard the sound coming from the room, his face looked a little uncomfortable.
But on second thought, he felt it was impossible.
Shen Jingzhen, that woman, was so obsessed with him, how could she possibly be hanging out with the prince of the Princess's Mansion?
He must have heard it wrong...
But even though he comforted himself in this way, Feng Bochang still couldn't tease like others.
He stared at the door, listening carefully to the intermittent sounds inside.
But the more he listened, the uglier his expression became.
Shen Jingzhen...still looks like Shen Jingzhen...
The next moment, a colleague said, "Isn't the prince's surname Xiao? But why do I hear the people inside calling Brother Feng? Brother Feng, did you hear that?"
