Chapter 394: To express my gratitude, of course I should repay you with my body?
Everyone present felt sorry for Mrs. Pei, but who could they blame? She had caused all this. If she had treated Chen Shuhua sincerely, how could she have ended up like this?
Finally, Mrs. Pei took the man back and sold some valuable shops and things in the mansion at a low price, and only then did she collect the 30,000 yuan. From then on, Earl Pei's Mansion fell into complete ruin. After this incident, no one had any contact with them anymore. It was said that Pei Zongzheng's life was saved, but he was left with a disability, and he walked with a limp, becoming a real cripple. He locked himself in the mansion all day long, depressed.
After the matter was settled, in the eldest princess's flower hall, Yao Qingnian always felt that there were several eyes staring at her, especially the Pavilion Master of Zi Ye Pavilion, who made her feel uneasy.
He was dressed in black brocade, with his black hair casually tied behind his head. The mask covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Those eyes were like an abyss, bright and deep.
He had stared at her with the same look last time. In order to find out his intentions, Yao Qingnian took the initiative to say, "Thank you for your help just now, Pavilion Master."
"Verbally thank you? Miss Shen's thanks are not sincere at all."
"Miss Shen is a young girl. How else can you expect her to thank you?" Prince Jing stood up and protected her behind him, looking at him with hostility. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became a little subtle.
“Of course I’ll pledge my love to you with my body!” The leader of Zi Ye Pavilion wore a mask, so that no expression could be seen from his face.
"You just helped me with a small favor, but you want Miss Shen to marry you. This request is too much!"
"Prince Jing is so nervous, could it be that he is interested in Miss Shen?!"
"So what?" King Jing replied unwillingly.
"That won't do. I was the first one to set my eyes on this girl. No one else can snatch her away from me." His overbearing voice sounded.
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent again. What? The Pavilion Master actually fell in love with Miss Shen? I heard that the Pavilion Master of Ziye Pavilion never approached women. Why did he suddenly change his nature today?
"You said you liked her first, so have you asked Miss Shen what she thinks?" King Jing attacked directly and hit the man. The man sat calmly in his seat. When King Jing attacked him, he quickly moved to the other side with the teacup in his hand and took a sip of tea without spilling a drop of it.
Yao Qingnian was at a loss for words at this sudden scene. Did these two men fight because of her? She didn't even know that Ziye Pavilion Master, and he suddenly said he liked her. Was he seriously ill? And this King Jing, she didn't know him well either. What was going on?
"Stop it, Tuo'er. The Pavilion Master is my guest and you must not be rude." The eldest princess spoke out to stop him, and King Jing stopped.
"Aunt, I just heard that the Pavilion Master is very skilled, so I wanted to learn from him. No offense." King Jing replied respectfully.
"I have admired Miss Shen for a long time and would like to marry you. What do you think, Miss Shen?" For a moment, the air in the hall seemed to be stagnant. It took everyone a long time to come to their senses. What? He wants to marry the eldest lady of the Shen family?
"You and I are strangers, Pavilion Master, please respect yourself. Since you helped me just now, I can consider other requests besides marrying you." Yao Qingnian refused directly. This man looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. He confessed to her. Could it be that he really knew that I killed his men and was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge? Marrying you was impossible, but if other requests were not excessive, she could consider it. However, it was just a consideration. Even if he didn't help today, she still had a way to make Pei Zongzheng tell the truth.
"Miss Shen, there is no need to rush to answer now. I will wait for you. I have already admired the orchids today. Princess, I will take my leave." The Pavilion Master of Zi Ye Pavilion ignored him, put down his teacup, and stood up to say goodbye.
"Master, take care." The eldest princess asked someone to see him out, thinking that Miss Shen was quite popular.
After Pei Zongzhen's incident, the orchid banquet ended hastily not long after it began, and everyone left in twos and threes.
On the way back, Chen Shuhua was feeling very nervous. The eldest princess first suggested to match Prince Jing and Yao Qingnian, but she was not willing to do so in the first place. Now the leader of Zi Ye Pavilion had appeared, which made things even worse. That man was the head of a killer organization. If she married him, Nian'er could accidentally make him unhappy and die at any time. No, no, she had to find a reliable man for Nian Ran and go back to discuss it with her parents.
"Nian'er, what do you think about what happened today?"
"Mom, what are you referring to? Pei Zongzheng?"
"No, he has nothing to say. He deserves it for slandering you in public. If it weren't for the deceased Earl Pei, he would definitely be punished with eighty strokes of the cane."
However, seeing how confident he was at the beginning, she almost thought that Nian Ran was hurt. Fortunately, he wasn't. However, she still felt uneasy, because the red mole that Pei Zongzheng mentioned was on Youran's body, and he said that he and Youran were in love with each other. Also, when he took Nian'er to the Earl's Mansion for the first time, they would not really... Although the child was not her own, she had raised him for so many years, so she was somewhat worried.
"He has received the punishment he deserved. Let's not mention this matter again." Yao Qingnian replied softly. It was he who had the intention to harm her, and she was merciful by not taking his life.
"What do Prince Jing and the Master of Zi Ye Pavilion think?" Chen Shuhua wanted to hear what she had to say.
"There's no possibility for me and them, mom, don't worry, I just want to be with you for a few more years." She didn't even know the guy, and he suddenly said he wanted to marry her, which was a bit puzzling, but for some reason, his shadow always appeared in her mind.
"You're already an old maid, how can I not worry about you? No, I have to hurry up and find someone for you when I go back, otherwise you'll be targeted by that ruthless master of the Zi Ye Pavilion and the rest of your life will be over. And Prince Jing, although he's a good person, he has no choice after entering the royal family, and I don't want to see you confined in the deep palace." After sending the man back to the Shen Mansion, Chen Shuhua hurried back to look for a son-in-law.
Yao Qingnian stood at the gate of the mansion, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
After Shen Wenting and the old lady heard about what happened in the Princess's Mansion today, they were so happy. This girl was actually favored by King Jing. If she could marry into King Jing's Mansion and Nianran could marry into King Rui's Mansion, the Shen family would have two princesses...Haha! From now on, it would be easy for the Shen family to rise to prominence.
